the Journey of the Resurrection of the Abandoned Son-in-law
chapter 23
Chou Notes:
Old Madame Camden has assets worth hundreds of millions of dollars. He had authority and prestige, both in the family and in the city.
He is angered by the fact that Jordan has repeatedly tried to provoke him, and he is determined to get Jordan to his knees and conquer him.
However, at this moment, the poodle held by Old Madam Camden suddenly jumped out of her embrace and pounced on Jordan when she saw him.
“Lucky!”
Old Camden mistress was dumbfounded, and she hurriedly called out her poodle, Lucky, but the dog refused to listen and ran towards Jordan!
Jordan picks up Lucky with a smile while the latter licks Jordan's hand endlessly in excitement.
For the past three years, Jordan has been taking very good care of Lucky because he was the one who would clean his poop and take him to the vet to get stabbed every time he got sick.
Jordan can be considered as the person closest to Lucky in this family.
However, that sight made Old Madam Camden feel extremely embarrassed.
His beloved dog actually refuses to stay with him and instead runs into Jordan, who is useless in his eyes.
Seeing this, Drew said cynically, “Oh, it is true that dogs like to get along with other dogs. Well, we can't help that they share the same language. ”
“Ha ha ha.” Elle, Salvatore, and the others started laughing one after another.
Stroking Lucky, Jordan said, “I've been living with Camdens for three years, and now that I'm back today, you're all mocking me. Lucky was the only one who treated me the same as before. In my opinion, some people are even worse than dogs!”
bastard , how dare you say that about us!?!” Benedict snaps.
Sylvie barking, “No use! You are becoming more and more difficult to manage! ”
Old mistress Camden was also very angry.
He barked, “Trust me you have the cheek to say that! Even a dog I kept for three years knew not to bite me and wag its tail to please me, but what about you? You hit my granddaughter and stole my watch! You have been raised by Camdens in vain! ”
Jordan straightened his back and exclaimed, “I didn't take your watch!”
Old Madame Camden took out Richard Mille's watch and said, “Then how did this watch end with Salvatore? It is a global limited edition watch, and each of its partners has an exclusive logo. No mistakes!”
Salvatore walked towards Jordan with a smile and said, “Son, you brought this watch to me and asked to sell it to me. You even said that you would spend the money I gave you to stay one week in the president's room at the West Lake Hotel. If you do not take that $800,000 from me, where do you get the money to stay at the hotel?”
Salvatore and Drew looked at each other with smiles. They have long practiced their dialogue with each other.
They know that Jordan did not steal the watch, but they are convinced that the money Jordan spent staying at the hotel was certainly earned through dubious means.
Jordan paused for a moment and let out a long sigh.
‘Maybe, it's time to tell them the truth!’
Jordan said slowly, “At first I intended to hang out with you as a commoner, but I didn't expect to finally hear this sarcastic remark from you guys.”
“Alright then, I will be frank with you guys. I'm president of Ace Corporation! I am a multi-billionaire! Is this reason good enough!?!”
After saying that, Jordan's body trembled because of how agitated he was!
He knew that this truth would definitely be a huge blow to everyone, especially Hailey!
He was looking forward to seeing if Hailey would regret betraying him after learning of his identity
Despite being outnumbered and facing eight people alone, Jordan did not panic in the slightest. It was not because he was blindly confident but instead, he was well aware of the gap between professionals and amateurs.
Compared to ordinary people, they could be considered professionals.
However, compared to those who had experienced bloodshed for so many years and been in close contact with corpses for such a long time, they were like beginners!
Jordan has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he is very strong and proficient at it. However, what really made him resilient was the fact that he had one year of battlefield experience!
Four years ago, a year before he became Camdens' son-in-law, his family had arranged for him to stay in Syria for a year!
Although the eight people in front of him fought often, their blows were not deadly.
The tattooed bastards were alcoholics who frequented the club every night. They eat and drink well every day, enjoying a free and luxurious life.
The enemy that Jordan encountered on the battlefield had absolutely no entertainment in their lives. In fact, they even struggled to stay alive, but their eyes were filled with killing intent!
Those who fought with them would die on the spot as long as they made the slightest mistake!
Jordan managed to survive in such an environment for an entire year!
Bang out! Bang out! Bang out!
Jordan punched each of them quickly, causing them to instantly fall to the ground.
The remaining five people were also not stupid. Two of them ran towards Jordan from different directions but were then sent flying by Jordan's kick!
However, at this moment, another person pounced on Jordan when he was not keeping his guard up.
At the same time, the last two remaining men each grabbed one of Jordan's arms.
Salvatore said with a satisfied smile, “I finally caught you.”
Jordan smiled calmly. He might not be able to move his hands, but he could still use his mouth!
On the battlefield, Jordan once bit his opponent's ear while fighting!
Many people fight for self-esteem, but Jordan fights for survival!
Every time he attacked, it was with killing intent!
“Ah! My ears!”
The subordinate that was clinging to Jordan's body shouted.
Jordan didn't bite too brutally. He only caused her to bleed before throwing her to the side. He then kicked the remaining two men to the ground.
The eight professional fighters were all beaten and lying on the ground!
“Yes Gods!”
Everyone is dumbfounded!
‘How can his combat power be so terrifying!?!’
Old Madam Camden was just as shocked, and she muttered, “Did that old man force Hailey to marry Jordan Steele because he knew how skilled she was in martial arts?”
For the past three years, the Camden family has never understood why Old Man Camden insisted that Hailey marry Jordan even though they thought she was useless.
Now, they finally know that Jordan is not a great fighter!
“Grandfather asked me to marry him so he could protect me? But we live in a peaceful era now, and we also have no enemies.”
Hailey begins to make wild guesses about her grandfather's intentions.
In fact, Hailey's grandfather had no idea that Jordan was very good at fighting and only arranged for Jordan to marry Hailey just because the Steeles were rich.
Herman smiled and said, “No wonder Dad likes this so much. It turns out that it was because he was good at fighting. He should be one of the top few people in the country, huh? Benedict, congratulations on having a daughter-in-law who is good at fighting.”
Thinking that he was being praised, Benedict said, “Well, after all, there's still something he's good at.”
Herman laughed out loud and uttered harsh words, “Haha, Benedict, Benedict,
It was just a Richard Mille watch and some antique paintings in the basement of the Camdens family home.
They are nothing to Jordan!
The only thing that Jordan can't bear to part with Lucky the poodle, whom he has cared for for three years because it's the only thing he knows to thank her for!
After Jordan left, Salvatore and his subordinates left the villa in a disheveled manner.
As soon as Salvatore got into the car, Drew rushed over. Drew thanked Salvatore for keeping his lips closed and not exposing him even when he had just been beaten.
“Salvatore, you .. Are you okay?” Drew asked with a embarrassed expression.
Salvatore gets angry when he sees Drew. “Punk, how dare you give me such a hard job!?! You must give me $ 150,000 more and compensate my subordinate's medical expenses!
Drew said, “Money is not a problem, as long as you can teach Jordan Steele a difficult lesson. Salvatore, will you kill him?”
Salvatore waved his hand and said, “OK, I'll take care of this for you. I'm in a hurry. I have to go now!”
Salvatore goes quickly with commercial vehicles.
After leaving the villa surroundings, Salvatore spat saliva from the window. “Damn it, Drew Camden is really stupid. If I still have subordinates now, why would I take action personally for the sake of getting $800,000 from you?
In fact, all of Salvatore's stores have been confiscated, and he's no longer penniless.
However, Salvatore is determined to take revenge after being publicly humiliated and having his finger broken by Jordan.
“Book tickets to Thailand soon!”
Salvatore's gonna go find Pablo!
…
Jordan returned to the office and held a meeting in a conference room that only top management executives could attend.
The meeting was primarily intended for discussion to decide whether or not they should invest in Camdens high-end private residence projects.
Top management executives, including Victoria, essentially agreed to invest 11 million dollars into the project.
First, because it is not a large amount of money for the company. Second, because it is a promising project with good prospects. They were sure that once the residence was built, it would definitely attract top families in Orlando and other cities.
Ace Corporation also plans to add a clause in the sales contract stating that the requirement to purchase one of the residences is to enter into business cooperation with Ace Corporation.
Ace Corporation has many businesses, many of which do not have much competitiveness. Therefore, if they could get help from that top-tier family business, it would definitely be a significant improvement.
Therefore, the project will not only benefit Camdens, but also benefit the interests of Ace Corporation.
Since Jordan was the one who proposed the project, he did not need to veto his own ideas.
Jordan sat in the president's chair in the conference room.
“OK, since everyone agrees, let's start officially cooperating with Landmark Realty from now on. Victoria, tell Camdens.Tell Landmark Realty to send someone and give me a detailed explanation of the project. I want to check them out and see how ready they are.”
“Ya, I will tell them now,” said Victoria.
After the meeting ended, Victoria called Herman.
Herman was excited to pick up Victoria's phone.
“Bu, Miss Clarke just called me to say that president Ace
Corporation has agreed to invest 11 million dollars in our project! But I have to meet him in person to discuss the project and show how well our preparation.”
Old mistress Camden was also very excited. “Good, cooperating with Ace Corporation will be a big leap for us and Realty Landmark!”
“Herman, you must perform well and leave a good impression on Mr Steele so that we can continue to work with them in the future!”
Herman said, “Ya! I will definitely perform well in front of Mr Steele!”
Elle whispered, “Dad, take a closer look Mr. Steele. I heard that he was young and handsome, unlike most presidents of established companies. ”
Seeing how excited Elle was, Hailey knew that she must have kept the design to her.
“Elle, no matter how handsome Mr. Steele is, he's already tied up. Did you forget that Miss Clarke and Mr Steele are lovers?”
Elle rolled her eyes and said, “What does this have to do with you? They're just lovers. They're not married yet. I'm younger than Victoria Clarke, and I also have a better figure. Why can't I snatch Mr Steele from him?”
Drew chimed in to defend his sister. “That's right, I also support Elle. Hailey, I heard Victoria Clarke slapped you, so you have to support Elle now that she wants to snatch her boyfriend!”
Even Old Madam Camden nodded in agreement. “El true! Brilliant Men are rare in this world, and you have to seize what you want. Elle, go with your father to see Mr. Steele at Ace Corporation.”
“Ah! Really true? Thank you, Grandma! You are the best!”
Elle jumped up excitedly and pecked Old Madam Camden on her wrinkled face.
Benedict and his family seemed very dissatisfied.
Hailey was obviously the one who proposed the idea of a high-class private residence. However, Herman was appointed in charge.
Hailey said angrily, “I also want to go.”
Sylvie hurriedly spoke for her daughter. “Yes, let Hailey go too. Putting aside her competence, Hailey is the prettiest girl in town! After all, she is now divorced, and she was slapped by the woman**** that, Victoria Clarke. I support the idea of Hailey seizing Mr. Steele from Victoria Clarke!”
Elle scoffed and said scornfully, “Will you look in the mirror? Why did Mr Steele marry a divorced woman?”
Old mistress Camden also spoke for Elle. “El true. Hailey may be prettier, but I'm planning on helping Elle get together with Mr. Steele. Hailey, you better be satisfied with Tyler Collins.”
When she cheated on her husband, Hailey was proud to have found a man like Tyler who matched her.
However, compared to Mr. Steele, Tyler seems inferior.
Shortly thereafter, Herman and his daughter, Elle, arrive at Ace Corporation together.
Due to the fact that Jordan was meeting another client at the time, she told Ashley to arrange for them to wait in the meeting room and instructed her not to serve them any drinks.
Camdens, especially Herman, was cruel and evil to Jordan.
Since they had arrived in the Jordanian territory, he would definitely not serve them with good hospitality.
In the meeting room.
Elle wore a tight dress that accentuated her figure while making her look graceful, dazzling, and irresistible to the men.
However, Elle looked unhappy with the dress when she asked, “Dad, why did you make me wear this dress? It may show off my curves, but it covers other parts of my body. Don't you know how great I am? Hmph.”
“Ha ha ha.”
Heartened, Herman laughed out loud and looked at his intelligent daughter with a satisfied look.
“Elle, I raised how, how could I not know your strength?”
Elle said, “Why don't you let me wear... more open clothes?”
Herman shook his head and said, “My dear daughter, if you wear open clothes at your first meeting, Mr. Steele will look down on you and think that you are a reckless woman with no pride.”
“Your goal is to marry Mr. Steele, not to be his lover or mistress. So, your fashion sense should not be tacky.”
“We just met with Miss Clarke and her secretary, Ashley Rose. Do you remember how they dressed? ”
Elle was an arrogant girl, so she clearly remembered what they were wearing.
Elle nodded and said, “They were both wearing the same type of clothing, consisting of a white shirt paired with a black skirt, but the secretary's skirt was even shorter than Victoria Clarke's knee-length skirt.”
Herman nodded and said, “It is the difference in the length of their skirts that sets them apart. Victoria Clarke obviously has a better figure than Ashley Rose, but as vice president, she should dress more neatly.”
“The same thing applies to you. You have to make yourself look classy and elegant. Only then will Mr. Steele appreciate you.”
Thinking that Herman was very reasonable, Elle said, “Thank you, Dad, I will definitely reclaim Mr. Steele from Victoria Clarke!”
Herman was satisfied. Once his daughter can marry the president of Ace Corporation, Old Lady Camden will have more respect for Herman, his wife, and his children.
When the time comes, Camdens assets are worth nearly hundreds of millions of dollars and the position as the next corporate helper will undoubtedly be Herman's!
Just like that, the two of them remained seated for over ten minutes.
“Why don't they serve us coffee or tea? Is Ace Corporation's hospitality so bad?”
Elle's mouth became a little dry from talking, and it was only then that she realized that the secretary did not serve them drinks.
Elle could not hold back her anger anymore, and she opened the door to shout at Ashley, “Nona Rose, we want to drink two cups of tea.”
“Alright, please wait a minute.”
Ashley agreed, but after more than ten minutes had passed, she still had not served her tea.
“This sucks! The secretary was just patronizing me! ” Elle exclaimed, stomping her feet furiously.
Not wanting Elle's mood to be affected, Herman comforted, “If you become the president's wife, fire it. Wait a minute, Mr. Steele can enter anytime.”
“Oh.”
Elle immediately returned to her elegant sitting posture, smiling like a dignified woman.
Just like that, half an hour passed.
“Dad, I can't follow this anymore. It's too exhausting to sit like a polite woman. It's exhausting. Why is Mr Steele not here yet?”
Elle lay down on the sofa and raised her legs as well.
Herman glanced at Elle's careless posture, which was unbearable to look at, and shook his head. “Looks like Mr. Steele doesn't appreciate us. He even made us wait for an hour.”
At this moment, Jordan pushed open the door and entered.
When Jordan saw Elle put her foot on the sofa despite wearing high heels, she could not help but interrupt.
“Elle, I know you behave very casually at home, but why are you so relaxed when outside as well? Didn't your father tell you that behaving like this was vulgar?”
After Elle heard the door slammed shut, she was so frightened that she hurriedly stuffed her legs inside and began to sit in a graceful posture again.
After Jordan saw her, she added, “Well, this is the first time in three years I've seen you wearing a dress that covers most of the time
your body. I'm not expecting you to look like a polite woman. ”
Herman undeniably has chosen a suitable outfit for his daughter.
If Jordan had not known Elle before this, he would have definitely gotten a good impression of her during their first meeting. He even wants to know her better.
Hearing Jordan's praise, Elle said with a look of disdain, “Go, stop glancing at me. I'm not wearing this dress for you. I know you hid the design on me because you heard my father say today that Grandpa intended for you to marry me back then.
“But how can a country hick like you deserve a shining star like me? You're not even worthy of Hailey Camden, let alone me.”
Although Elle is very feminine, Jordan has never had any designs on her in the past three years.
“El, you misunderstood. I just thought..”.
Elle hurriedly snapped without giving him a chance to speak at all. “You are not even allowed to think about it!”
Jordan shook his head helplessly and sat down to stare at Herman without caring about him at all.
However, before he could speak, Herman said to Jordan, “Jordan, you are just a bodyguard. What are you doing here? Where's Mr Steele?”
Previously, Jordan had already told them that he was the president of Ace Corporation, but they did not believe him, so he did not bother to repeat it.
Jordan said, “You're here to discuss the project regarding a high-class private residence, right? You might just talk to me. ”
Herman said in a disdainful tone, “Talk to you? What good is that? You're a lowly bodyguard and a loser who only knows how to use violence. Do you know anything about the project? Do you even know anything about business? ”
Jordan was angry. “That means you don't want to discuss, huh? All right, I'll go now.”
“Wait a minute.” Elle suddenly pulls Jordan to stop him, instantly taking him by surprise.
Elle smiled kindly and asked, “Jordan, don't go, let me ask you something. You've been Victoria Clarke's bodyguard for the past two days, so you should be familiar with the relationship between her and Mr. Steele, right?
Jordan nodded and said, “I understand part.”
Elle kept asking with a smile, “Then, can you tell me how close Victoria Clarke and Mr Steele are? Do they live together? Do they live in the home of Mr Steele or Victoria Clarke?”
Jordan knows that Elle is a raving person who will spread the word about everything.
Earlier, when Victoria said that she and Jordan were lovers, it had already affected her reputation. Therefore, he wanted to take this opportunity to let Elle spread the word and tell more people that she had nothing to do with Victoria.
Jordan said, “They've broken up.”
The answer is not to embarrass Victoria. She does not deny that she and Victoria are lovers, but she also manages to bring back the fact that she is still single.
After hearing her answer, Elle and Herman were so agitated that they almost cried.
“Disconnect? They broke-up? Hahaha..” Elle laughed out loud.
Herman hit his thighs happily and exclaimed, “Heaven really helped us! Heaven help our family!”
Jordan asked confusedly, “Why are you two so happy with the fact that they've broken up?”
Elle smiled and returned to her dignified sitting posture, with one foot on top of the other. He looked very tall and noble.
“Jordan.. I mean, Jordy.”.
Jordan's dumbfounded. ‘Why did Elle give me a nickname? What's he doing?’
Elle said, “Jordy, since you used to be my cousin-in-law, I will give you the opportunity to serve me, your boss's future wife. Go get me some tea!”
‘My boss wife?’
