Chapter 21

The Theft Of The Watch Worth 800 Thousand Dollars!

After Victoria finished smoking, she got up and said goodbye to the Camdens.

“Old Mrs. Camden, Mr. Camden, I have something to handle at the office, so I’ll get going.”

Old Mrs. Camden and the others walked Victoria to the door together.

“Miss Clarke, we’ll count on you for the investment.” Old Mrs. Camden said as she held Victoria’s hand.

Victoria also agreed gleefully, “Rest assured.”

Seeing that Victoria was taking her leave, Zack followed suit. “Old Mrs. Camden, Mr. Camden, we ought to get going too.”

Upon seeing that a thief was amongst the Camdens and that the baller, who had given the bracelet, had not appeared after a long time, the guests all parted ways.

Soon, the Camdens were the only ones left at the banquet.

Old Mrs. Camden looked at Sylvie and asked, “What did Hailey say? Why did you discover that he had stolen from us only after the divorce?”

Jordan and Hailey had a prenuptial agreement to keep their property separate before they married. In the event of a divorce, Jordan would not be entitled to a single cent of the Camdens’ assets.

Hailey indicated that she would take away all the money Jordan earned from delivering takeout in the divorce agreement.

Sylvie answered, “Hailey said that Jordan had spent almost 70,000 dollars on a one-week stay in the presidential suite of the West Lake Hotel. So she guessed that he had stolen from you.”

Old Mrs. Camden was a little panicked too. In the past three years, she often asked Jordan to go to her villa and play with her beloved poodle because it liked Jordan very much.

Jordan definitely had the opportunity to steal things in her villa!

Old Mrs. Camden hurriedly said, “Let’s go back to the villa immediately!”

However, Elle pulled Old Mrs. Camden to stop her. “Grandma, don’t be in such a hurry to leave. My suitor might be here soon!”

The little girl with a gorgeous figure was still fantasizing and imagining that the jadeite bracelet was given by her suitor.

After thinking about it, Old Mrs. Camden said, “Drew, Benedict, Sylvie, you guys go to my villa and check what’s missing. Herman, Susan, Elle, you guys stay here with me and wait a little longer.”

“Yes!”

Drew quickly drove Benedict and Sylvie back to the villa.

Old Mrs. Camden’s valuables were kept in two rooms in the basement, one of which was filled with accessories, liquor, and watches, while the other was filled with antique paintings and calligraphy.

Although she had lots of items, there were detailed records for each one of them.

Upon arriving in the basement, Drew said, “Uncle, let’s split up to check. You guys check the room with the antiques and calligraphic paintings while I check this one.”

“Okay.” Holding onto the notebook, Benedict and Sylvie went to the room where the antiques and calligraphy paintings were placed and checked everything according to the records.

Likewise, Drew also checked the room that he was in according to the list on the notebook.

Twenty minutes later, Drew completed his check and discovered that nothing had gone missing.

At this point, Benedict was already done.

He walked over and asked, “Drew, nothing is missing from the room we checked. How about you?”

Drew froze in shock for a moment because nothing was missing from the room where the antiques and calligraphic paintings were placed.

That proved that no valuables were missing from Old Mrs. Camden’s villa!

In other words, Jordan stole nothing from the Camdens.

Thinking about how he had been beaten up by Jordan twice in a row, Drew felt indignant and wasn’t willing to prove Jordan innocent just like that.

Besides, he had also been short of money recently, so he could take the opportunity to make some extra money.

Drew said, “Oh, I haven’t finished checking. You guys better check again, lest you miss something out.”

Benedict nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll go check again then.”

Watching Benedict walk out of the room, Drew smiled.

He closed the door of the room and then quietly grabbed a Richard Mille watch.

“This is the watch Grandpa used to wear when he was alive.”

There were only 48 pieces of this watch in the entire world, and each one was worth over 800,000 dollars!

“Jordan, from now on, you will become the thief who stole this watch, hehehe.”

Drew put the Richard Mille watch into the pocket of his clothes.

Two minutes later, Drew hurriedly ran to the room where Benedict and Sylvie were in and frantically exclaimed,

“There’s a watch missing from the room I checked!”

Benedict and Sylvie rushed over and checked, only to realize there was indeed an 800,000 dollars watch missing!

Sylvie barked furiously, “No wonder that good-for-nothing Jordan could afford to stay in the presidential suite of West Lake Hotel. That beast!”

At this point, Benedict had already called Old Mrs. Camden on the phone. “Mom, we found out that the Richard Mille watch Father used to wear when he was alive has gone missing!”

Old Mrs. Camden was so furious that she almost died. “Bring him back to me! I’m going to chop his hand off!”

Benedict hung up the phone and said to Drew, “Drew, Grandma wants us to go and bring Jordan back to her.”

As soon as Drew heard that they were tasked to bring Jordan back, he immediately chickened out. “Aren’t… aren’t we going to call the police?”

Benedict said, “As you know, Grandma has always disliked dealing with the police.”

Drew suddenly pretended to be in agonizing pain as he covered the wound on his face and said, “Ah, my wound hurts so badly, I have to go to the hospital to have it treated. Uncle, you guys go over first. I’ll be there in a little bit.”

As he spoke, Drew left.

Chapter 22

You’re Not Fit To Step In!

“Drew…”

No matter how Benedict called out to him, Drew would ignore him.

Drew did not dare to provoke Jordan again. He had already been beaten twice today, and if he got beaten up a third time, he would be disfigured.

Benedict was Jordan’s former father-in-law, but now they were no longer related to each other. Hence, he was afraid that Jordan might turn his back on them and hit him too.

Benedict was different from Herman. He didn’t know any mafia members.

Hence, he picked up his phone and called his daughter Hailey. “Hailey, are you still at West Lake Hotel?”

Hailey answered, “Yes, Dad. I am.”

Benedict said, “I’m at your grandma’s place, and we’ve discovered that a Richard Mille watch that’s worth over 800,000 dollars has gone missing. Jordan must have taken it.”

Hailey barked, “That scoundrel! It’s no wonder he has the money to stay in the presidential suite of a five-star hotel!”

Benedict said, “Hailey, your grandmother is furious, and she wants you to bring Jordan back. I won’t go over. I’ll leave it to you.”

West Lake Hotel.

Hailey hung up the phone and exclaimed indignantly, “Great, Jordan, how dare you steal from Grandma? Watch how I deal with you!?!”

Hailey walked towards the front desk and asked, “Which room is Jordan Steele staying in?”

Seeing this, Tyler hurriedly walked up to her and asked, “Hailey, what are you doing?”

“What am I doing? I’m going to bring him back, of course. He has stolen my grandfather’s watch, which is worth over 800,000 dollars!” Hailey exclaimed.

Tyler knew that Jordan definitely wouldn’t just comply, and the both of them would definitely argue when the time comes.

They were in a five-star hotel, and his family was in the hotel business in the first place. What he hated most was people who created trouble in hotels.

Besides, Tyler couldn’t afford to provoke the owner of the West Lake Hotel.

Tyler grabbed Hailey’s arm and said, “Don’t go, just call the cops.”

Hailey shook him off and refuted, “Why are you such a coward? If you’re too scared to go, I’ll go by myself!”

After finding out Jordan’s room number, Hailey boarded the elevator and headed to the presidential suite where Jordan was.

Dong-Dong-Dong!

Hailey could not be bothered to ring the doorbell, and she simply pounded the door with her tender fists.

“Jordan, you thief! Open the door right now!”

At this juncture, Jordan had just finished taking a shower and was blow-drying his hair. When he heard the knock on the door, he turned off the blow-dryer and vaguely heard Hailey’s voice again.

“Why is this woman still pestering me?! She came looking for me again even though we just got divorced!”

Jordan put down the hairdryer and walked over to open the door.

As soon as he did, Hailey was greeted with the sight of Jordan dressed in a bathrobe, his voluminous hair combed behind him. It was still damp, and his current hairstyle made him look much more handsome than he was when he had bangs. He also looked more domineering.

Jordan’s bathrobe was not appropriately worn, and the muscles of his upper body were clearly visible.

“Jordan actually has abs…”

Hailey Camden had always liked men with abs, and despite having been married to Jordan for three years, she never knew that he had such a perfect figure!

“Had I known earlier, I would have made him stay topless at home during summer.”

Hailey felt a little regretful. In her opinion, Jordan was poor, but he was handsome, and if he had abs too, he would make good eye candy.

“What’s the matter?” Jordan asked coldly.

Hailey stopped gazing at Jordan’s body, and she questioned furiously, “Jordan, did you steal the Richard Mille watch from my grandma’s house?”

“What Richard Mille watch?” Jordan was puzzled.

Hailey snapped, “You’re still pretending, huh!?! There’s a watch that’s worth over 800 thousand dollars, missing from Grandma’s home! You must have taken it. Otherwise, how could you have the money to stay in the presidential suite of a five-star hotel? Even I have never stayed in a presidential suite before!”

Jordan couldn’t help but burst into laughter, amused by the Camdens’ ridiculousness. They would never offer him any benefits and only go to him whenever it was time to take the rap.

Jordan said, “Miss Camden, I never took a single thing from your family, nor have I stolen any watch. Please leave.”

Hearing Jordan call her Miss Camden, Hailey’s heart was filled with sorrow!

For the past three years, he had called her “Hailey” affectionately. He would sometimes even address her with terms of endearment like “Baby,” “Dearest Wife,” or “Goddess.”

Yet, Jordan now called her Miss Camden.

Feeling aggrieved, Hailey Camden accused sobbingly, “Jordan, you’re so heartless! Why are you in such a hurry to chase me away? Is there a woman in your room?”

Of course, there was no woman in Jordan’s room. He wasn’t such an easy man.

However, Jordan said, “It’s none of your business regardless of whether there’s a woman or not. We’re already divorced.”

Hailey Camden was so exasperated that she pointed at Jordan and snapped, “We’ve only been divorced for less than an hour, and you’ve already hooked up with another woman! You’re using the Camdens’ money too! You’ve really let me down!”

Jordan guffawed. “Hah, so you’re allowed to cheat on me while we were still married, but it’s not okay for me to be with another woman after we got a divorce? Who’s the unfaithful one!?!”

Hailey was speechless. She stopped talking and barged straight in, intending to find the woman and give her a tight slap.

However, Jordan did not let Hailey step into the room at all.

Jordan said, “Miss Camden, you’re not worthy of stepping foot inside the presidential suite of a five-star hotel. If you refuse to leave, I’ll call security.”

Chapter 23

I’m The CEO of The Company!

Hailey froze in shock because she suddenly felt that she seemed to have heard that phrase somewhere before!

After thinking about it carefully, she recalled that she had said the same thing to Jordan about this time at the Splendor Hotel yesterday!

Yesterday, when Jordan walked in on Hailey and Tyler Collins in the hotel room, Jordan wanted to go in and beat up Tyler Collins, but Hailey said that Jordan was not worthy of stepping foot into the room of a five-star hotel!

However, Jordan was now not only standing in the room of a five-star hotel, but he was also rightfully staying in it as a guest!

To make matters worse for Hailey, he was staying in a presidential suite that Hailey had never stayed in before!

Although they were both five-star hotels, the room rates of West Lake Hotel were several times higher than that of Splendor Hotel!

Standing in front of Hailey, Jordan suddenly thought about a popular saying.

‘I’m standing right before you now, but I’m nothing like I used to be!’

“Fine, you won’t let me in, huh?” Hailey, furious that she had been rejected, said, “I was going to give you the chance to go home, confess to your mistakes, and accept Grandma’s punishment. Then we will consider this matter settled.”

“Since you don’t cherish this opportunity, I’ll call the cops and let them deal with it! Don’t blame me for not reminding you. Stealing something worth over 800,000 dollars will warrant a jail term of 15 years and above!”

“If you kneel down in front of me now…”

Bang!

Before Hailey could finish, Jordan simply closed the door of the room.

“Hmph, she makes me kneel down and apologize to her all the time, just because she knows that I like her. I’ve really overindulged her and spoiled her rotten the past three years. Why do I have to stoop so low just because I fancy her!?”

Jordan stopped thinking about her and continued to blow-dry his hair.

“You…”

Hailey Camden stomped her feet furiously as she called the police, after which she yelled at the door of the presidential suite, “I’ve called the cops, just wait, you’ll be behind bars!”

Soon, the Camdens had also found out that Hailey had called the police.

Old Mrs. Camden barked in displeasure, “What? Hailey called the police? Who told her to call the police? I want to handle our family affairs myself, not let someone else do it!”

Sylvie knew that Old Mrs. Camden had always liked to handle everything herself.

Afraid that she would hold it against Hailey, she hurriedly said, “Mom, Hailey must have called the cops on Jordan because he wouldn’t cooperate.”

Old Mrs. Camden sighed and said, “Forget it, maybe Jordan is destined to spend the rest of his life in prison.”

The Camdens were all confident the law would definitely sentence Jordan.

Ten minutes later, two uniformed police officers arrived at West Lake Hotel.

Tyler and Hailey, who were waiting in the lobby, immediately walked up to the police officers when they saw them.

“Sirs, I was the one who called the police.”

One of the police officers asked, “You must be Miss Hailey Camden, right? You said that Jordan Steele has stolen a watch that’s worth over 800,000 dollars from your family, is that right?”

Hailey nodded and said, “Yes, Jordan Steele was a live-in son-in-law, and we just got divorced. He stole our watch and sold it for money which he spent on a one-week stay in the presidential suite of this hotel. He even hired a prostitute!”

“Sirs, please quickly arrest him!”

The police officer went to the front desk and said, “Call Jordan Steele and tell him to come down.”

The front desk attendant called the phone set in Jordan’s room, but Jordan had just fallen asleep after taking a shower and didn’t hear the phone ringing.

Hailey tried to call Jordan’s cell phone, but there was no response either.

Hailey said, “He must be too scared to answer because he’s guilty of theft!”

“Let’s head upstairs to take a look then,” said a police officer.

The two police officers took the elevator up on their own while Hailey waited downstairs with Tyler because he didn’t want to cause trouble.

Bang! Bang!

Bang! Bang!

The police knocked on the door several times before Jordan woke up from his sleep and got up to open the door.

“Is this Mr. Jordan Steele? May we enter?” the police officer asked.

Jordan knew it was Hailey who had called the police and thus said with a smile, “Yes, please come in.”

A bespectacled police officer took the initiative to introduce himself, “I am Chief Lee of the district police station. We received a police report from Miss Hailey Camden. She claimed you stole a watch that’s worth over 800,000 dollars from her family yesterday. Is there such a thing?”

Jordan answered truthfully, “I didn’t take anything from the Camdens.”

Chief Lee continued, “Pardon me for being presumptuous, but I heard that you were previously the Camdens’ live-in son-in-law, and you don’t have much money. For the past six months, you’ve been working as a takeout deliverer. Miss Camden said you didn’t get a single cent of the Camdens after your divorce…”

At this juncture, Chief Lee, who was also a man, took pity on Jordan.

‘The Camdens are too stingy. They have at least millions worth of assets. They can at least give him a few tens of thousands of dollars.”

Chief Lee said, “Look, there’s a swimming pool, a television, and several couches in this presidential suite. There’s also a beautiful view. I heard it costs over 10,000 dollars a night. Yet, you booked it for a night.”

“Since you didn’t take the watch, where did you get the money from?”

Jordan did not answer directly but got up and went to the desk in the room to grab a contract that he then handed to the police officer.

“Chief Lee, this is the equity transfer contract of Ace Corporation. I’m now the largest shareholder and the newly appointed CEO of Ace Corporation. This is my business card!”

Jordan handed the CEO business card of Ace Corporation to Chief Lee!

Chapter 24

Pauper With Hundreds of Millions!

The business card was a Swiss metal business card embellished with diamonds, with a black background and yellow letters. The diamonds used in a single set of business cards probably exceeded 30 carats!

Simply put, each business card was worth 1,500 dollars!

Besides, business cards were definitely printed in sets. Ace Corporation had specially customized a set of business cards for Jordan, which cost almost as much as a house in a third-tier city!

Chief Lee took the business card and was instantly shocked to see the dazzling diamonds on the card.

Jordan’s name was indeed stated on the business card!

Chief Lee looked at the contract again and confirmed that the shares that used to belong to the former president of the Ace Corporation had indeed been transferred to Jordan.

However, the police officer beside him asked, “Chief, could it be a fabricated contract?”

It was normal for contracts and business cards to be fabricated. Having been police officers for so many years, they had already gotten used to seeing it.

Chief Lee said, “Can we find your information on Heaven’s Eye?”

Heaven’s Eye was a business query tool that included the information of 200 million social entities nationwide, and data like corporate backgrounds and the information of business owners could be found on it.

Jordan smiled and said, “The founder of Heaven’s Eye is Dr. Alex Murphy, who is my second brother’s former classmate in college. Due to the fact that I haven’t officially taken over the position yet, I asked him to hide my information because I don’t want others to look up information about me before I do.”

“Since you guys believe the data in Heaven’s Eye, I’ll ask him to help me reveal it for a while.”

After Jordan finished speaking, he picked up his phone and dialed a number.

“Dr. Murphy, how are you doing lately? Well, a police officer in Orlando would like to see my data in Heaven’s Eye. Can you unhide my data for ten minutes?”

After chatting with Dr. Murphy, Jordan entertained the police officer and had a cup of tea with them.

After just one minute, Jordan received a text, and he then said to Chief Lee,

“You can check Heaven’s Eye now.”

Inputting Ace Corporation into the search bar of the “Heaven’s Eye” app, Chief Lee saw Jordan’s name in the personnel section of the company immediately!

“Jordan Steele, CEO of Ace Corporation!”

Not only was Jordan’s name on it, but his profile photo was on it too. The person in the photo was exactly the same as the person standing before them!

However, the police officer next to Chief Lee still had his guard up. “Could it have been done by a hacker?”

There were many hackers on the Internet, and one could hack into an app and tamper with the information on it.

Jordan smiled and said, “I initially didn’t want to flaunt my wealth, but since you guys still don’t believe me, I’ll have to do this.”

Jordan opened the text message interface on his cell phone and handed it to Chief Lee.

Chief Lee took the cell phone and saw that it was a transaction alert from a bank.

“Amount: 90,000 dollars

Date: April 20, 14:22

Account Number: *6582

Type: Quick Payment Withdrawal

Remaining Balance: 1,553,494,532 dollars”

When Chief Lee and the police officer beside him saw the long string of numbers, they were dumbfounded!

“You have… more than a billion dollars!”

The two counted for a long time before figuring it out.

The bank card was given to Jordan by Butler Frank yesterday because Jordan and Hailey had signed a prenuptial agreement to keep their assets and property separate.

Hence, Hailey Camden had no right to inquire about the real assets that belonged to Jordan during the divorce.

Jordan looked at the stunned police officers and said, “Sirs, this is only one of my cards, but I fear the amount in it alone is more than the total value of all the Camdens’ assets combined.”

“Do you think I’d steal a watch that’s worth merely over 800,000 dollars?”

Only then did the two people stop doubting Jordan. They had heard of the Camdens before and knew that they were just a second-rate family whose net worth was just over millions of dollars.

Yet, Jordan had more than a billion dollars in just a single card alone!

Since he was so rich, there was no need for him to steal from the Camdens!

Chief Lee asked curiously, “Mr. Steele, you should be the noble heir of a wealthy family, right? So why were you willing to be a live-in son-in-law of the Camdens?”

Jordan answered helplessly, “It was arranged by my family, so I had no choice but to obey. I hope that you two can keep it a secret for me, especially from the Camdens. I don’t want to have any other involvement with them anymore.”

Chief Lee nodded frantically, “Rest assured, Mr. Steele, this matter concerns your privacy. We won’t disclose it to others.”

“I’m sorry to have disturbed your rest. We should go now.”

Jordan also got up to see them off. “It’s alright, take care.”

Two minutes later, the two police officers came down to the hotel lobby from upstairs.

Hailey and Tyler Collins immediately walked over.

Tyler Collins was puzzled to see that Jordan had not come down to the lobby with them.

He asked, “Sirs, why didn’t Jordan Steele come down with you? Did he resist arrest? Send more men with guns and teach this punk a hard lesson!”

Chief Lee glared at Tyler Collins and warned, “Mind your language! If you hurl any vulgarities again, I’ll take you back to the police station!”

Afterward, Chief Lee looked at Hailey and said, “Mr. Jordan said he didn’t take any watch belonging to the Camdens. So I think you’d better go home to check again and see if you’ve left it somewhere.”

Hailey protested, “How can you believe what he said!?! If he didn’t steal anything from our family, how did he get the money to stay in a five-star hotel? He’s just a pauper who delivers takeout!”

‘Pauper?’

Hearing Hailey’s description of Jordan, the two police officers were speechless…

‘Is there a pauper in this world who’s worth billions of dollars?’

Chapter 25

Becoming The CEO!

Chief Lee glanced at Hailey and Tyler and could immediately tell that they had an extraordinary relationship.

Chief Lee said, “Ms. Camden, we don’t have the right to arrest Mr. Jordan until there is definite evidence against him.”

“If you insist that we arrest him, please produce evidence like videos or photos of him stealing the watch or any proof of him selling the watch in exchange for money.”

“Also, stop calling your ex-husband a pauper or a good-for-nothing. After all, the two of you used to be a married couple, and those words are just too hurtful.”

Hailey Camden snorted coldly, “I’m not wrong. If he was a little more competent, I wouldn’t have divorced him!”

“You were the one who initiated a divorce with Jordan… Mr. Steele?”

Still looking incredibly smug, Hailey answered, “Yeah, I initiated the divorce! Has he already regretted it?”

The police officer didn’t dare to reveal Jordan’s true identity and hence had no choice but to smile and give Hailey a thumbs-up.

Deep down, he thought, ‘You should be the one regretting your decision to divorce the CEO of Ace Corporation, who has a net worth of billions of dollars!’

Seeing that the two police officers were leaving, Hailey asked again, “Um… was there a woman in his room?”

Chief Lee shook his head and said, “Mr. Steele is staying alone in the room. There wasn’t anyone else.”

Hailey was in a much better mood, and she muttered softly, “I knew it. He still loves me.”

Seeing that the arrogant Hailey still didn’t know the huge mistake she had created, Chief Lee sighed and left.

After the two left, Tyler asked in bewilderment, “Why did they become so polite to Jordan after coming downstairs?”

Hailey didn’t pay attention to these details and simply said, “I need to hurry up and call my mom to tell them to collect evidence!”

As soon as Hailey took out her cell phone, she received a call from Drew before calling Sylvie.

“Hello, Drew.”

Hailey rarely received phone calls from Drew. Still, they had recently started contacting each other rather frequently, probably because of Jordan.

Pretending to be affectionate, Drew asked, “Hailey, how are things on your side? I heard you called the police. Did they not take him to the police station?”

Hailey replied truthfully, “No, the police officers said that they couldn’t arrest him because there wasn’t any evidence.”

“Evidence? What kind of evidence do they want?” Drew asked.

Hailey answered, “Evidence for the theft of his watch or a receipt of the sale of the watch.”

Drew thought about it for a while and felt that it was impossible for there to be any evidence of Jordan stealing the watch because he wasn’t the culprit to begin with.

However, now that the watch was in Drew’s hands, he could just fabricate evidence against Jordan to accuse him of selling the watch!

Drew said, “Leave this matter to me. I’ll find out who he sold the watch to. Then, rest assured, I’ll put him behind bars!”

After hanging up, Hailey panicked and continuously ruffled and fiddled with her hair.

She wanted to punish Jordan so that he would treat her like a queen again and spoil her like he used to. On the other hand, she wanted Jordan to obey her without getting mad at her or contradicting her.

On the other hand, she didn’t really want Jordan to be sentenced by the law.

After all, after three years of living together as husband and wife, how could Hailey bear to let Jordan spend ten years in prison?

Tyler, beside Hailey, drooled continuously when he saw her ruffling her hair, which he thought was really sexy.

He grabbed Hailey’s hand and said, “Honey, let’s stay at West Lake tonight too, shall we?”

Hailey shrugged his hand away to Tyler’s surprise and then gave him a slap on his face.

Smack!

Hailey snapped, “You couldn’t even handle Jordan, and you have the cheek to sleep with me!?!”

After saying that, Hailey stormed off in a rage.

Being slapped in the hotel lobby was quite an embarrassing thing.

Covering his face, Tyler thought to himself, “Jordan Steele, you made things hard for me today. But, once you come outside, I won’t let you off!”

He walked towards the hotel manager, who had been watching from the side, and grabbed him by the collar.

He ordered, “Once Jordan Steele leaves the hotel, inform me immediately!”

It was six in the morning.

Jordan changed into a suit, put on a tie, and a pair of leather shoes. He then waxed his hair and styled it into a side pompadour, making him look suave and very much like the company’s CEO.

That was Jordan’s first time donning a suit in the past three years.

He reckoned that even Hailey wouldn’t be able to recognize him for a few seconds after she sees him.

The front desk attendants were all stunned when he came down from upstairs.

“He’s such a domineering CEO… His aura differs completely from when he checked in yesterday!”

“I’m in love! I wonder who is so lucky to be his wife!”

The two front desk attendants were gushing and swooning over Jordan when the hotel manager, John, immediately walked over and rebuked, “You guys are so man-crazy! Pay attention to your image!”

Afterward, John walked out of the lobby and called Tyler. “Jordan Steele has gone out.”

Tyler had arranged for some people to stay outside the hotel, and they immediately started tailing Jordan.

Jordan hailed a cab and arrived at the office tower of Ace Corporation in the central business district twenty minutes later.

It was his official first day at work as the CEO.

Jordan alighted from the car and looked up at the majestic tower with a smile on his face.

“Victoria Clarke, you swore to cut off all means of a livelihood for me yesterday. I wonder what your attitude will be when you see me today!”

Chapter 26

Ashley Rose

Jordan was excited to take on the role of a domineering CEO after spending three years as a live-in son-in-law.

However, Jordan’s excitement was not due to his new identity as the CEO.

Growing up in a wealthy family, he had long gotten tired of the sense of superiority derived from being above others.

What made Jordan feel excited was Victoria, the beautiful deputy president of Ace Corporation. The latter could charm all the men in the upper-class circle of Orlando!

He walked to the lobby on the first floor of the building, where there was a security gantry.

Orlando was a developed city with cutting-edge technology. A gantry on the first floor, for example, can already be accessed via fingerprint and face recognition.

However, since it was Jordan’s first day at work, he had yet to register his fingerprint and face into the security system.

Hence, Jordan took out the card that Butler Frank had given to him and swiped it to get past the gantry to board the elevator.

When he arrived on the floor of the president’s office of Ace Corporation, there was no one in the office yet. So Jordan unlocked the door with the key and entered his personal office to read some documents.

At the same time, the people whom Tyler had sent to tail Jordan also reported to him.

“Mr. Collins, Jordan Steele has entered the Ace Corporation’s office tower in the central business district.”

“What?”

At this moment, Tyler was still lying in bed and was puzzled to hear that Jordan had gone to the Ace Corporation.

“What is Jordan Steele there for? Miss Clarke, the deputy president of Ace Corporation, said she would make sure Jordan never gets to live in this city in the future. Could Jordan be there to take revenge on Miss Clarke?”

Tyler asked for Victoria’s number at Old Mrs. Camden’s birthday banquet yesterday. As a man, he was also wildly attracted to Victoria!

He would be willing to lose ten years of his lifespan in exchange for a chance to make love to Victoria once on a large bed!

Unfortunately, he knew that, given Victoria’s standards, she would never take a liking to him.

Tyler dialed Victoria’s phone number.

The phone rang several times before Victoria answered in a weary voice, “Who’s speaking?”

Tyler smiled and said, “Miss Clarke, this is Tyler. I toasted to you at Old Mrs. Camden’s birthday banquet last night.”

Victoria assented and asked, “Mr. Collins, is there a reason you’re calling at such a late hour?”

Tyler answered anxiously, “Miss Clarke, you still remember Jordan Steele, the son-in-law of the Camdens, don’t you? Yesterday, we stood in solidarity with the Camdens. We vowed to ensure that Jordan Steele will never be able to make a living in this city from now on. That punk went to your company early in the morning today. I’m guessing that he’s trying to take revenge on you!”

Victoria chuckled and said, “Don’t worry, the building is locked and guarded by security officers. He won’t be able to go upstairs.”

Tyler exclaimed, “The people I sent to keep tabs on him informed me that that punk has a card in his hand that gave him access through the gantries to go upstairs! He might be hiding in your office right now. Could your life be in danger if you go up?”

“What? How could he have our company’s access card?”

Victoria sat up in surprise, and the quilt covering her body dropped too, revealing her spotless and beautiful shoulders and arms.

If a man had seen that scene, he would definitely get a nosebleed.

Tyler explained, “That punk stole a watch from the Camdens and sold it for over 800,000 dollars. He’s rich now. There are so many employees in your company, he could have paid them some money to get a card. There’s nothing strange about that.”

“Miss Clarke, I’m worried about you. You’re so beautiful. It’d be such a shame if you get slashed by that punk!”

Victoria also got worried, and she said, “Thank you for the reminder. I’ll send someone to the company to take a look immediately.”

“Yes, I’ll go help you out at the office too. Miss Clarke…”

Tyler took this opportunity to suck up to her.

Hearing how deferential he was, Victoria smiled without saying anything.

Afterward, Victoria immediately called her personal secretary, Ashley Rose.

“Ashley, go to the office immediately and check if there are any suspicious persons. If there are, call the police at once!”

Half an hour later…

A woman dressed in a white shirt, black silk skirt, and black-framed glasses hurried to the office building of Ace Corporation.

“Good morning, Miss Rose.”

The security officer who was on duty widened his eyes when he saw Ashley Rose.

Although Ashley Rose was inferior to Victoria in all aspects, the latter was too far away in terms of status in the eyes of the security officers.

On the contrary, Ashley Rose was the person whom the security officers of the building often fantasized about.

Besides, Ashley Rose was a secretary and was often dressed in a business suit that made her seem like a flight attendant, leaving a lot to their imagination and fantasies.

“Morning.”

Ashley Rose answered perfunctorily and hurried upstairs.

Having finally arrived at the floor where Jordan was, Ashley Rose found that the door had surprisingly been unlocked by someone.

She thought it was her colleague, but after calling out twice, no one answered.

All of a sudden, she discovered that there was someone in the president’s office!

“He must be the suspicious person that Miss Clarke mentioned, right?”

Ashley Rose immediately pushed the door and questioned, “Who are you? How did you get in? What are you trying to do trespassing in our office!?!”

Jordan was reading the reports of the company and was stunned to see Ashley Rose.

He asked, “Who are you?”

Ashley Rose held up her black-framed glasses and said, “I’m Miss Clarke’s personal secretary, Ashley Rose!”

Jordan stared at Ashley Rose’s sexy ensemble and wondered, “Why would Victoria want to have such an attractive secretary? Isn’t that a usual habit of men?’

‘Could it be… that Victoria is lesbian?’

Chapter 27

Victoria Clarke Is Here!

Victoria mingled in the upper-class society of Orlando and hence, knew all the tycoons. She had a long list of suitors too.

However, no one had ever heard of her having a boyfriend.

‘Maybe Victoria Clarke is into women!’

“Hey, what are you thinking about!?! Hurry up and answer me. Why are you here at our office!?!”

Ashley said in a firm voice.

Jordan snapped back to his senses and said, “I’m Jordan Steele, the new president of Ace Corporation.”

Ashley Rose’s jaw dropped, and her mouth was so wide open that it could fit an egg.

“I’m so sorry! I’m sorry, Mr. Steele! I’m too stupid. Since you had the key to the door, you must be the president! But, please forgive me, Miss Clarke said that there’s a suspicious person in the office, so I…”

Jordan was surprised after hearing her explanation.

‘Suspicious person?’

“Damn, the Camdens have been tailing me! Annoying pests who won’t leave me alone!”

Jordan immediately figured out what was going on.

“Okay, you may go out and resume your duties. Oh, by the way, I heard that Miss Clarke is the most beautiful deputy president in the city. So when she arrives, tell her to come to my office immediately. I’d like to see how beautiful the deputy president of our company really is.”

Jordan instructed Ashley.

“Yes!”

Ashley walked out of the president’s office, went to the restroom on the same floor, and called Victoria Clarke.

“Miss Clarke.”

Victoria was already on her way to work when she spoke with Ashley Rose over the phone via the Bluetooth function in her Porsche.

“Ashley, how is it? Have you found out clearly? Are there any suspicious people in the office?”

Ashley whispered, “I have, and there are no suspicious people, but there’s someone you’ve wanted to meet!”

“Who?” Victoria asked curiously.

Ashley was Victoria’s trusted confidante whom Victoria would talk to about everything under the sun in private.

Ashley exclaimed, “It’s Mr. Steele! The new president of our company! He’s already arrived at our office, and he says that he wants to meet you!”

“What? Mr. Steele is at the office!?!”

Victoria was so flustered that she almost rear-ended a Land Rover.

She had been looking forward to seeing the new president for a long time!

Hence, Victoria stepped hard on the gas pedal, and the speed of the car instantly increased to 100 kilometers per hour. She even constantly overtook several vehicles, all for the sake of meeting Mr. Steele sooner!

Ten minutes later, Victoria arrived at the lobby on the first floor of the office building.

“Miss Clarke!”

Tyler, who had arrived earlier, immediately called out to Victoria when he saw her.

“Mr. Collins?” Victoria immediately recognized him.

Tyler walked up and asked with concern, “Miss Clarke, I was afraid that punk Jordan would hurt you, so I rushed over here to help you out. Let me go upstairs with you!”

Victoria had dinner with Tyler’s father once. But, in her opinion, Tyler was her junior and wasn’t qualified to hang out with her.

Hence, she declined, “No need for that. I’ve already checked and found out that there’s no suspicious person in the office. I have something urgent to handle. I’ll head upstairs first.”

“Hey… Don’t go, Miss Clarke, believe me, Jordan Steele is really upstairs!” Tyler exclaimed.

However, Victoria ignored him and quickly took the elevator to go upstairs.

As soon as the elevator doors were opened, she saw Ashley chatting about something with a few other female employees.

“Miss Clarke, you’re here!” Ashley exclaimed with excitement written all over her face.

Victoria nodded and glanced at the supervisor of the investment department and an intern who was beside Ashley.

She asked, “Why are you guys here too?”

The supervisor and the intern were both female and were equally excited. “Ashley told us just now that the newly appointed president of our company has arrived and he’s really handsome! So we rushed over without even putting on any makeup!”

The two of them lived in a rented apartment that was within walking distance to the office.

Victoria asked in surprise, “Oh? How handsome is he?”

Ashley answered excitedly, “He’s more handsome than a celebrity, and he’s really young too. He seems to be about 23 years old!”

“So young?”

Victoria was a little surprised. She was already 32 years old and yet, he was so much younger…

Ashley flailed her hands about with great excitement. “He must be the heir of a really wealthy family! Otherwise, how could he have suddenly been appointed as the president? His future girlfriend is going to be really lucky!”

Victoria glared at the three of them and chided, “You three are man-crazy. Don’t harbor designs on Mr. Steele!”

Ashley said, “We’re not worthy of Mr. Steele. He’s such a domineering president. Only you can be compatible with him, Miss Clarke. By the way, Miss Clarke, Mr. Steele wants you to go to his office as soon as you arrive.”

The supervisor of the investment department said, “Yes, I heard Ashley say that Mr. Steele complimented you on being the most beautiful deputy president in the city. He might have come early in the morning just to see you earlier!”

Hearing their words, Victoria smiled.

She didn’t want to act like a man-crazy woman like the three of them.

Hence, she ruffled her hair and said, “I’ve been part of the business circle of Orlando for so many years. There’s no man that I, Victoria Clarke, can’t subdue!”

“The domineering president in your eyes is just a lowly bootlicker to me!”

“He’s just a 23-year-old boy! Come with me and see how I can make him succumb to me within three minutes!”

Chapter 28

Victoria Clarke Kneels Down!

Victoria had always been the idol of all the female employees in the company.

The reason was that all presidents of major corporations would seem lowly in front of her, regardless of how rich and powerful they may be!

All the women wanted to be like Victoria and have the powerful presidents wrapped around their fingers and be at their mercy.

There was once a president of a partner company worth billions of dollars who would often create trouble at the office and leave everyone with no means to handle the situation.

However, after Victoria intervened, she managed to subdue him and make him kneel down to put her shoes on for her in less than two minutes.

Everyone in the company was dumbfounded!

Ashley exclaimed with great excitement, “Ah! I must learn how to subdue a domineering president like Miss Clarke has this time!”

The other two girls were also excited to watch the excellent show that was about to come on. They wanted to witness with their own eyes how the domineering president was reduced to a bootlicking dog!

Victoria first went to the bathroom, where she looked in the mirror to fix her makeup and then tidied up her outfit.

She was clad in a pink Chanel Haute Couture two-piece set today which made her look very much like an imposing president, accentuating her noble and elegant aura.

Any overbearing president would instantly be attracted to her. They would also notice that she was different from other female influencers and Instagram models.

Victoria said, “After I go in later, I’ll leave the door slightly ajar so that you guys can watch through the crack, just how I subdue this greenhorn!”

Ashley guffawed loudly and said, “Sure, sure, make him kneel down and put on your shoes for you. But, haha, we want to see this classic scene again!”

The other two also said joyfully, “We want to see it too!”

Victoria chuckled gently. If the company’s other employees caught wind of the fact that the deputy president of the company had subdued the president into kneeling down and putting on her shoes for her, they would know that even the president had to obey her!

In the future, no one in the company would dare to defy her again!

“Okay, I guarantee that I’d be able to make this greenhorn kneel down before me within three minutes!”

Victoria said with a face full of confidence.

After all, she had once conquered a forty-year-old president who was even more imposing and had seen countless beautiful women before.

Victoria thought that a mere greenhorn in his early twenties would definitely be unable to resist her enormous charm!

Victoria strutted towards the president’s office where Jordan was.

Bang! Bang!

Victoria knocked gently on the door twice.

“Please, come in.” Jordan’s voice came from inside.

The door hampered Victoria from recognizing Jordan’s voice.

After Victoria pushed the door to enter, she did not close the door fully but left it slightly ajar.

On the other hand, Ashley and the other two girls walked silently to the door barefooted and peeped in through the crack.

Ashley said, “Do you think Miss Clarke can take down the new president, Mr. Steele? He doesn’t seem to be a lustful man.”

The head of the investment department said, “Oh, there was once a gentlemanly president who claimed to be ascetic but when he saw Miss Clarke take off her jacket to bare her shoulders, he had a nosebleed. Trust me, Miss Clarke is a president killer. Unless he’s a virgin, any man who has gotten intimate with a woman before would know how perfect Miss Clarke is!”

The graduate students who were working as interns at the company gazed at Victoria with admiration in their eyes. They secretly vowed to learn well from her and strive to use some tactics to take down one or two presidents, or at worst, two “backup guys.”

In the office…

Victoria walked in and discovered a young man seated on the president’s chair with his side facing her. He was holding onto a large company annual report in his hand while looking out the window.

From the angle Victoria was standing, she could only see a third of his side profile.

Victoria did not speak and instead observed him carefully.

“What a cool haircut. He looks like a K-pop idol.”

Generally speaking, the bosses Victoria came into contact with were either bald or had thinning hair. However, Jordan had a head full of hair and seemed very stylish.

“He’s got such a high nose bridge!”

“His side profile is so handsome too. He gives me déjà vu!”

Upon seeing Jordan, Victoria burst with joy.

She was not a lesbian at all. She fancied men, and the only reason she never had a boyfriend was that she was afraid that having a boyfriend would hinder her from coming into contact with other rich tycoons.

On the other hand, she also had high requirements for her other half. Not only must her boyfriend be rich, but he also had to be good-looking, interesting, good taste, and a mind of his own!

“Mr. Steele, I’m Victoria, the deputy president of the company. I heard that you want to see me.”

Victoria said in a tender, gentle and delicate voice.

At this moment, Jordan put down the document in his hand and turned his chair around.

Outside the door.

“Ah! He turned around! I wonder if Mr. Steele will get a nosebleed on the spot when he sees how gorgeous Miss Clarke is. Haha.”

“I reckon he’d probably kneel down on the spot and call her Queen. Haha.”

In the office.

When Jordan turned the chair around, Victoria finally saw his face!

“Jordan… Jordan Steele?”

That was probably the most shocking moment in Victoria’s life and the most disoriented she had been.

Jordan actually made Victoria, who had always been high up in the air and viewed men as playthings, go to her knees!

Chapter 29

We’re Lovers?

Outside the door.

When Ashley and the other two girls saw this, they covered their mouths in shock!

‘How could this happen!’

‘Mr. Steele is not kneeling in front of Miss Clarke but the other way round instead!’

‘It didn’t even take a minute. A second after they met, Miss Clarke got on her knees!’

‘Could it be that the new president of the company, Mr. Steele, is so charming and domineering that even Miss Clarke, who’s usually high up in the air, has submitted to him!?!’

The trio was even more in awe and respectful towards Jordan!

Hearing the sounds outside the door, Jordan peeked through the gap, and the frightened trio frantically fled.

Afterward, Jordan walked up to Victoria and simply looked at her from above without helping her up.

Jordan smiled and said, “Miss Clarke, why are you kneeling down in front of me as soon as we met? I can’t accept such a grand gesture from you.”

Victoria secretly thought to herself, ‘If you can’t accept it, hurry up and help me up. You’re making me so embarrassed, and this is such an awkward position to be in…’

All adults would probably get the wrong idea if they saw Victoria’s and Jordan’s postures now.

However, Victoria also knew that she could only blame it on herself.

‘Screw the Camdens! If it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t have ended up offending my superior!’

The thought of everything that happened yesterday made Victoria feel an urge to die.

Victoria immediately apologized guiltily, “I’m sorry, Mr. Steele, I was wrong! Please forgive me for what I said yesterday!”

Jordan squatted down and faced Victoria. “Yesterday? Oh, I remember, you seemed to have said that we were lovers yesterday.”

Jordan pulled Victoria into his arms!

Jordan managed to easily hold the woman whom many tycoons in the business circle of Orlando had been coveting for a long time!

If someone else dared to do this to Victoria, she would have definitely slapped him.

However, she didn’t dare to do that to Jordan.

Well, because she was the one who said that Jordan was her boyfriend.

Victoria’s fragrant bodily scent wafted up to Jordan’s nose. It was no wonder so many men were head-over-heels smitten with Victoria. Jordan felt refreshed and pleased after just holding her in his arms for a while.

Jordan continued to gibe, “I heard that I even booked an entire island to beg you to be my girlfriend. Which island was it?”

Feeling incredibly embarrassed, Victoria wished she could dig a hole and jump right into it.

“I’m sorry, I was wrong.” Victoria apologized again.

Jordan didn’t want to behave intimately with the vice president of his company in the office either. Hence, he let go of her and stood up.

“Okay, get up now. It won’t be good to let the other employees see this.”

“Yes!”

Victoria hurriedly got up and immediately closed the door of the office. She then took out the remote control and turned on the privacy mode of the glass window to prevent the employees outside from seeing what was going on inside.

At this moment, Jordan had already returned to his seat.

He said domineeringly, “Miss Clarke, you said yesterday that you would cut off all the possible means for me to maintain a livelihood in Orlando. I’m now your superior, the president of Ace Corporation.”

“Let me ask you, how else are you going to do that now!?!”

Since the birthday celebration yesterday, Jordan had been looking forward to this moment!

‘Cut off all the possible means for me to maintain a livelihood?’

‘Do you have the ability to do that!?!’

Victoria hung her head low and said, “Mr. Steele, I really didn’t expect that someone of your status would be willing to be a live-in son-in-law of the Camdens.”

“I know I can’t erase the mistake I’ve committed. I’m willing to accept any punishment that you give me.”

“If you want to slap me, I will walk over and let you do it. If you want to berate me, I’ll listen to all your lectures.”

“If you want to fire me, I’ll pack up my things and leave now. I’ll never appear in front of you nor provoke you again.”

Jordan nodded, discovering that Victoria was indeed not a simple woman. Whenever she was in trouble, she wouldn’t panic and was willing to bear the consequences of her mistakes without defending herself or shirk the responsibility.

Jordan said, “I don’t plan to fire you.”

Victoria raised her head in surprise as she wondered, ‘I crossed the line and did such an outrageous thing yesterday, but Jordan doesn’t intend to fire me?’

Jordan said, “Yesterday, you were the only one who offered me a chance to survive. If I’m really just an ordinary live-in son-in-law, you’d be my benefactor.”

After thinking about it, Jordan realized that Victoria didn’t do anything too outrageous to Jordan yesterday.

The other guests turned against Jordan and alienated him without hesitation, but Victoria pleaded on Jordan’s behalf and even intended to let Jordan be her bodyguard, despite facing the risk of offending Old Mrs. Camden.

Victoria merely stood in solidarity with them because she felt embarrassed after Jordan turned her down.

Feeling extremely touched, Victoria exclaimed with tears in her eyes, “Thank you, Mr. Steele! I’ll serve you wholeheartedly in the future!”

Victoria didn’t expect Jordan to be so magnanimous and understanding at such a young age.

Jordan said, “I can forgive you, but I won’t let a single one of those people who swore they would cut off all means of a livelihood for me get away scot-free.”

“Miss Clarke…”

“You may call me Victoria,” Victoria said in a gentle voice after wiping her tears.

Jordan said, “Victoria, collate the information of those who said they would cut off all means of a livelihood for me and hand it over to me.”

“Yes!” Victoria knew that Jordan was going to exact revenge on them!

There is soon to be an upheaval in the business circle of Orlando!

Chapter 30

Get Lost!

Hotel magnate? Restaurant mogul? Delivery service owner?

Jordan wanted to subvert and exterminate the big bosses who had dominated Orlando for years in one fell swoop!

Among them, Tyler was the first person that came to Jordan’s mind!

As soon as he thought of Tyler, Jordan recalled everything that his ex-wife, Hailey said.

“Look at Tyler. His family is worth more than a billion dollars. Can you compare to him, you good-for-nothing?”

Jordan humphed softly and asked Victoria, “I heard that the Collins are a first-tier family in Orlando who are worth more than a billion dollars?”

Victoria answered, “You can say so. They were worth more than a billion dollars two years ago, but their net worth has shrunk greatly, now they’re probably worth about 500 million dollars. They’re not much better than the Camdens now.”

Recalling that Jordan claimed that Hailey was in an extramarital affair with Tyler during the birthday banquet yesterday, Victoria immediately continued.

“Hailey Camden must be blind to have chosen that good-for-nothing Tyler Collins over you! Once she finds out your true identity, I’m afraid she’ll be full of regrets.”

The thought of Hailey Camden made Jordan feel a little bitter. After all, he had loved her for three years!

Victoria continued, “The Camdens are working on a project lately, and they want us to invest 11 million dollars in it. They offered me many benefits, but I’ll turn them down now and tell them to forget about cooperating with Ace Corporation!”

Victoria initially wanted to make the cooperation happen, but she knew Jordan was on bad terms with the Camdens. Since he used to be the live-in son-in-law of the Camdens, whom they had kicked out afterward, how could he be willing to cooperate with them?

To her surprise, Jordan said, “You fabricated a number of lies about me yesterday, but there is one thing that you were right about.”

“I keep work and personal life separate. So I won’t boycott the Camdens in business just because of my personal relationship with them.”

“Show me the proposal of that project.”

Victoria was a little surprised, and she thought to herself that Jordan indeed had a moral character.

“Yes, I’ll bring it over to you now.” Victoria turned around and was about to leave.

“Forget it, I’ll go with you and at the same time check out your office. I’d like to see if the office of a great beauty like you is full of fragrance.”

Jordan got up from his chair and followed Victoria.

Meanwhile, Tyler was still waiting anxiously in the lobby of the first floor. He hadn’t left yet.

He wanted to go up and see what was going on, but he couldn’t do so without an access card.

“Hey, Mr. Collins.”

A female employee of Ace Corporation took the initiative to walk towards Tyler all of a sudden.

Tyler looked at her, but he didn’t recognize who she was.

The lady laughed and said, “Mr. Collins, surely you haven’t forgotten who I am, have you? That’s really sad. You bought me a drink at LINX Bar the other day. Afterward, we went to… You had fun with me the entire night.”

Only then did Tyler remember that he had a one-night-stand with her previously.

The poor girl’s mediocre looks and tacky makeup made Tyler feel like Hailey was hundreds of notches higher than her.

He secretly cursed, ‘Damn it, I must have had too much to drink that day. I accepted such a lousy woman.’

However, Tyler remained smiling and asked, “Oh, yes, I remember. Do you work at Ace Corporation?”

The lady nodded.

Tyler grabbed her hand and said, “Quick, take me upstairs. Your deputy president Miss Clarke is in danger!”

A minute later, Tyker arrived at the floor where Jordan was.

As soon as he got out of the elevator, he heard a few female employees of Ace Corporation whispering among themselves.

“Hey, you know what? She knelt down right after she saw the president! Do you believe it? She got on her knees the second she saw him!”

Tyler didn’t know what they were talking about, but he didn’t care about the gossip of Ace Corporation either.

Hence, he simply walked up to them and asked, “May I ask, where is Miss Victoria Clarke?”

The person he asked was Ashley, Victoria’s secretary. “Miss Clarke is in her office. Do you have an appointment?”

Tyler ignored her and dashed straight into Victoria’s office.

As soon as he pushed open the door, he discovered that Jordan was also in Victoria’s office!

It just so happened that Victoria had found the project proposal of the Camdens and handed it to Jordan.

However, in Tyler’s eyes, she looked like she was assigning a task to her assistant.

“Tyler? Who let you in?” Victoria rebuked furiously.

Since Tyler was Jordan’s rival, Victoria couldn’t get too close to him and his family from now on!

Tyler didn’t answer her question and instead pointed at Jordan. “Wow, Jordan, you embarrassing thief! Sure enough, you’re here! Are you hiding here to prepare to exact revenge against Miss Clarke!?!”

Jordan retorted, “Is there something wrong with you? Is this a place you can just enter as you please? Get lost!”

Jordan was the president of Ace Corporation and the owner of this building. How could he allow Tyler to act brazenly and presumptuously here!?!

When Tyler saw how arrogant Jordan was, he snapped indignantly, “How dare you talk to me like that. This is Victoria’s office. You should be the one to get lost! Isn’t that right, Victoria?”

Smack!

Victoria slapped Tyler on the face and rebuked him in exasperation, “Who are you calling Victoria? Call me Miss Clarke!”

Tyler looked extremely embarrassed, and the sounds of Ashley’s laughter could be heard coming from outside.

Tyler gradually felt that there was something amiss with the situation. It seemed that everyone was aware that Jordan was in Victoria’s office.

But why didn’t Ashley and the others stop him?

After thinking about it, Tyler suddenly pointed at Jordan and yelled, “I get it! You’re not here to take revenge on Miss Clarke but to be her bodyguard!”
