the Journey of the Resurrection of the Abandoned Son-in-law
chapter 19
Seeing how pitiful Hailey was as she cried, Jordan felt somewhat emotional.
Jordan had treated her like a princess, served her like a queen, and protected her like a precious jewel for the past three years. Hence, he had never been so sad before.
If anyone dared to slap Hailey in the past, Jordan would never let them.
However, Jordan finds out that Victoria has slapped Hailey to defend him.
After all, Hailey had borne everything herself!
Jordan pressed his right hand against Victoria's shoulder and said, “Forget it.”
Soon after, he said to Hailey, “Go, I'm not your man anymore!”
Hailey suddenly stopped crying. He never showed his gentle side to Jordan.
“Even if I no longer want a dog I kept for three years, I would never give it to anyone else casually!”
“Jordan Steele, I order you to immediately leave Ace Corporation and cease being Victoria Clarke's bodyguard!”
“Victoria Clarke gives you an annual salary of $30,000 per year, huh? I'll pay you $80,000!”
Hearing Hailey's words, Victoria couldn't help but laugh. “Hahaha, with just $80,000, you are trying to hunt down Mr...”
“Ehem..”.
Jordan immediately coughed to interrupt Victoria, who would have used to call her ‘Mr. Steele’'s.
Hailey is very nervous now. She had just faced the music at home and was slapped in the face by Victoria. If he knew Jordan's true identity, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand this series of consecutive blows.
Victoria glanced at Jordan before continuing, “Haha, you tried to hunt down Jordan with just $80,000. Aren't you a little too naive? Even if you add another zero, it won't be enough!”
“What?”
With an expression of disbelief, Hailey thought, ‘Could Jordan's annual salary as a bodyguard not be $80,000 but $800,000?’
‘No matter how rich Victoria Clarke is, she should not want to spend $800,000 for bodyguards.’
Knowing that he is not as rich as Victoria, Hailey demands, “Jordan, you should resign from Ace Corporation today!”
“I told you, Drew has found evidence that you stole the watch, and once we hand it over to the police, they will sentence you to prison!”
“Because we're married, I don't want you to spend the best time of your youth behind bars!”
“If you listen to me and leave Victoria Clarke to come home with me and be my bodyguard, I can make Drew let you go!”
No matter at all, Jordan replied, “Thank you for your kind offer, but I really can't be your bodyguard. I can't force myself to protect you when I see you get a room with another man!”
“If Drew Camden has any evidence incriminating me, he is free to file charges as he wishes.”
After saying his part, Jordan got into the Porsche driver's seat and left with Victoria beside him.
“Jordan, you are not allowed to go!”
Seeing Jordan leave, Hailey was so angry that she started stomping her feet.
“What an adulterous couple! Victoria Clarke couldn't pay Jordan $800,000 just to be her bodyguard. She probably wants him to be her lover too!”
“Jordan is also a jerk. She clearly knows that Victoria Clarke has a boyfriend, but she still willingly agrees to be her lover. Since she can put up with Victoria Clarke having another man, why can't she make the same compromise as me!?! ”
“Double standard like that! He's death! How did I lose to Victoria Clarke!?!”
…
7th street.
The poor live there, and so do the big bosses.
The famous big boss Salvatore has lived there for a long time.
By this time, Drew had reached 7th Street and was introduced to the legendary Salvatore.
“Halo, Mr. Salvatore,” greets Drew when he sees a burly man tattooed with dirty dreadlocks.
Salvatore was eating oysters and drinking beer. He glanced at Drew and said, “Master. Camden, welcome.”
Despite being nice on the surface, Salvatore continues to eat and drink without even looking at Drew.
Drew was not offended either.
Drew said, “I'm here to make a deal with you, Mr. Salvatore. I have a Richard Mille watch here that is worth more than $800,000, which I want to sell to you at a discounted price of $700,000.”
“But you can't say that I sold it to you. Just tell me someone named Jordan Steele sold it to you.”
After glancing at the wound on Drew's face, Salvatore smiled and asked, “Did that Jordan Steele give you a bruise on your face?”
Drew nodded awkwardly and said, “You're right, Mr. Salvatore. He's my cousin's loser husband. For the sake of our family's pride, we don't want to make a big fuss about this, but we can't let this lie down! I have to put him behind bars!”
Salvatore sipped a beer and said, “No need to bother. I'll just send some people to help you teach him a lesson. Wouldn't that work?”
Drew sighed and said, “Master. Salvatore, that bastard is good at fighting. He crippled all the professional fighters my father sent to deal with him!”
“Oh, so?” Salvatore was interested.
‘Can the so-called losers and son-in-law stay that deep in martial arts?’
After some thought, Salvatore shook his head and said, “I can't help you with that. Mr. Pablo warned us not to get involved in the family affairs of others, lest we become the only sinners after they make peace.”
After being rejected, Drew exclaimed anxiously, “No! My cousin has divorced Jordan Steele! Anyway, who's Pablo? Why should you obey him?” ! Mr Pablo is Salvatore's boss!”
Salvatore's subordinate suddenly barked at Drew.
After shouting at his subordinates, Salvatore said to Drew with a smile, “Master. Pablo is my leader. Without him, there would be no me, so I would have to obey him! You better find someone else.”
Drew refused to give up. He knows that Salvatore is a money enthusiast and needs money because the recent ban on illegal businesses has affected many of the businesses Salvatore owns.
Therefore, Drew offers, “I will sell this watch to you at the price of $600.000!”
Salvatore shook his head and refused, “As I said, Mr. Pablo is like my father. I have to obey!”
Drew gritted his teeth and exclaimed, “$450,000! You can get $350,000 if you resell it after buy it from me!”
Salvatore laughed out loud, “Master. Pablo also said that we should not say no to money. Making money is the most important thing in the world. Mr Camden, I will do it!”
