the Journey of the Resurrection of the Abandoned Son-in-law
chapter 24
Chou Notes:
“My boss wife?”
Those words confused Jordan.
“Who is my boss's wife?” ask Jordan.
Herman shook his head and said, “You're so stubborn. You are now an Ace Corporation employee, aren't you? That makes Mr. Steele your boss, and his future wife is your ex-cousin-law, who is also my daughter, Elle!”
“I and my family intend to let Elle marry Mr. Steele so that we can have a marriage alliance with Ace Corporation. If things work out between them, you will be somewhat related to us again. Haha, you really are doomed with Camdens. ”
Jordan looked at Elle in surprise and asked, “Elle, are you so sure that Mr Steele will like you?”
It had only been a few days since Jordan had escaped the clutches of Camdens by divorcing Hailey, and now, Elle had set her sights on him!
‘What have I done so deserve to be pestered non-stop by Camdens?’
Elle humped coldly and said, “There is no man in this world who would not be interested in me! I have always been a saint and have never had a boyfriend before. As long as I make the first move, Mr. Steele will definitely fall for me!”
“Also, I always suspected that Mr. Steele was the one who sent us the 1 million dollar bracelet on Grandma's birthday banquet! I plan to investigate and find out more about this. Maybe Mr. Steele has been a fan of mine for a long time!”
Jordan smiled as she did not expect her former cousin-in-law to be so confident.
Although, he pondered it carefully and realized that it made sense for him to be that narcissistic. She has a huge following on social media and receives romantic messages from at least a thousand men every day. Any woman would be arrogant if they were in her position.
Hearing Elle mention the birthday present again, Jordan said, “You don't have to investigate anymore. The bracelet was indeed a gift from Mr. Steele.”
“Ah!”
Hearing Jordan's words, Elle leaped for joy and grabbed Jordan's clothes.
He asked excitedly, “Is that true? Really it? Is that really a gift from Mr. Steele? I know it. My intuition is right! Dad, did you hear that? Mr. Steele likes me a lot!”
Herman was too happy to speak.
‘President Ace Corporation has given Camdens an enormous gift. He obviously did it to impress Elle!’
Herman said happily, “I really did not expect that the president of Ace Corporation would be my future son-in-law! I had to tell my mother about this when I got home. He will definitely be over the moon!”
Jordan looked at Herman and humped in disdain.
‘President Ace Corporation married a Camden for three years, but none of you have ever been good to him!’
‘You want me to marry a Camden again? You must be dreaming!’
Eager to meet Mr. Steele, Elle grabbed Jordan's clothes tightly and asked, “Where is Mr. Steele now? I want to see it.”
Jordan replied, “He was chatting with some clients in the meeting room.”
Given how vast the Ace Corporation is, it is not strange if there is more than one meeting room.
Therefore, Elle did not think about it any further and instead asked, “Why is he so long ago? Are clients challenging to deal with?”
Jordan nodded and said, “Yes, his client is a man and his daughter. The man is arrogant while his daughter is a beautiful girl dressed to the ninth and now seduces Mr. Steele. I doubt he will soon forgive himself.”
Elle was furious after hearing his words. “Ccheap woman! How dare he be so shameless before Mr Steele's company!?! No wonder Mr. Steele has kept us waiting so long. Which room are they in? I will give a hard slap to a woman ******
nita ****** that's now!”
Herman hurriedly pulled Elle back to stop her. “Do not be impulsive! You can't leave a bad impression on Mr. Steele! Better we stay here and wait a little longer.”
Jordan looked at them with a disdainful look and left without saying anything.
After a while, Ashley walked over and said to them, “Master. Camden, Miss Camden, something has come up for Mr. Steele, and he has left the office. He wants you to take a leave.”
“Hah?”
The two, who had waited an entire hour, were slightly disappointed.
“Did Mr Steele say when he would be free? Will he come to the office again in the afternoon?” ask Herman.
Ashley shook her head and said, “I'm not sure either.”
“Alright then.”
Herman and Elle left feeling somewhat disappointed, but their trip to Ace Corporation was not entirely in vain.
At the very least, they discovered that Mr. Steele was the one who gave Old Madame Camden a birthday present that cost over a million dollars!
As soon as they left the office building, Herman called home and asked all of Camden to gather at Bu Camden's old villa.
Benedict and Sylvie have not yet left, while Hailey has already left but is asked to return.
“What's the problem? I've just left, and you asked me to come back again. Have they reached an agreement?”
Hailey rushed over, still holding the car keys in her hand.
Elle glanced at Hailey proudly, who had arrived late, and only after seeing everyone present did she say, “It's not about the contract. I've got some good news to announce to you all. The person who gave Grandma the bracelet for 1.5 million dollars was Mr. Steele, president of Ace Corporation!”
“What? This is from Mr Steele?” Benedict does not believe.
Hailey feels a little upset because ever since she learned that Jordan had stolen from Camdens, she really thought the bracelet was a gift from Jordan.
Sylvie blabbering, “How does that count as good news? Mr. Steele and Miss Clarke are lovers, and Miss Clarke has always been close to our family. What's weird about him sending us gifts too?”
Herman laughed and said, “Sylvie, Mr. Steele, and Miss Clarke broke up a long time ago! If she sent the bracelet on behalf of Miss Clarke, why would she send it as a separate gift? She could have placed her prize along with Miss Clarke.”'s prize
For married couples and lovers, sharing gifts is common.
On that day, it looks like Victoria didn't know that Mr. Steele will also send Camdens a gift day.
Sylvie muttered, “You mean ..”
Elle said arrogantly, “Is there still something to ask? Mr. Steele must have given Grandma a gift for me! At the time, Hailey was still married to Jordan!”
After hearing this, the old Madam Camden said with a feisty smile, “Nonsense! I already knew that the person who sent the gift was definitely Elle's suitor, but I didn't expect him to be the president of Ace Corporation! Lady Luck smiled at us!”
Ella answered obediently, “Grandmother, I will maintain my relationship with Mr. Steele well to help our family develop into a top family in the city!”
Grinning wide from ear to ear, Old Madam Camden caressed Elle's face affectionately. “Excellent, my granddaughter is so capable!”
His words were like daggers in Hailey's heart.
Her grandmother never once praised her for the hard work she did for the Camdens family over the past few years.
Hailey asked, “Who did you hear those words from? Is the information credible?”
Elle said, “Your ex-husband said it. Of course, it's credible!”
“Grandmother, Mr. Steele was too busy to see us this morning. I'm going to Ace Corporation alone this afternoon to look for him again. Don't worry about the contract. I can handle it sen
yourself!”
Elle made an appointment to Camdens.
“Big!” Old Madam Camden praised happily.
Prestigious families have always been strict about the principle of seniority-based hierarchy within the family.
Elle is Hailey's younger cousin. However, he openly asked Hailey to drive him around like a driver, right in front of everyone!
Elle had already started to consider herself the Ace Corporation's presidential candidate, so she had already developed a sense of superiority over the other Camdens.
He felt that Hailey should depend on him in the future.
However, Hailey had always been arrogant and arrogant, so she obviously could not tolerate such humiliation!
Hailey denied angrily, “I'm flooded! I don't have time to send you there!”
After saying that, he turned around and left the villa. He then left in his car upset.
Being a bad driver, to begin with, he accidentally hit a tree.
Fortunately, his car was not badly damaged because he was driving slowly, and he was not injured.
“Ugh, this is so annoying and sucks!”
Hailey slammed both of her hands into the steering wheel repeatedly as tears flowed freely from her eyes nonstop.
Outraged, he hurriedly pulled out his phone to call Jordan.
At this time, Jordan was still in the office, and he was surprised to see that it was a phone call from Hailey.
“Halo.”
Jordan waved her hand at Ashley, gesturing for her to leave her office, after which she answered the call.
Hailey asked emotionally, “Jordan, let me ask you something. Since you pretended to be the one to give my grandmother the bracelet for her birthday, why don't you keep pretending?”
“Why did you tell Uncle Herman and Elle the truth!?! Do you know how embarrassed you are causing me to be in front of my family?
Jordan thought Hailey had called to apologize to him, but he did not expect to be questioned on the matter.
In fact, Jordan never changed his statement, and he's been telling the truth all along.
The bracelet was a gift from Jordan Steele and also a gift from the president of Ace Corporation.
Well, that's because Jordan is the president of Ace Corporation.
Jordan clearly tells Camdens about his true identity, but they have looked down on Jordan and are too fixated on believing him.
Jordan said coldly, “I'm overwhelmed. I don't have time, nor do I want to care whether you're embarrassed or not. If nothing else, I'll hang up now.”
Jordan has already divorced Hailey, so her affairs have absolutely nothing to do with her!
The only thing Jordan wanted to hear was an apology from Hailey and nothing else!
“Wait a minute!” Hailey hurriedly exclaimed. He continued in a softer voice, “I called you because I need help from you.”
“I don't want Elle's relationship with your boss, Mr. Steele, to develop too well. Elle's going to Ace Corporation's office building this afternoon. He developed a penchant for black tea lately, so serve him a cup of black tea mixed with laxatives so he can run.”
“Or, pretend to accidentally tear off her dress when she walks past you. You are very strong, he will not suspect you.”
Jordan nodded coldly. “Hailey Camden, you're too greedy. You cheated on me when we got married, and not only are you not apologizing, you are now asking for my help. ”
“If you need help, find your lover instead of bothering me!”
After saying that, Jordan hung up the phone.
Jordan resolutely refused to help Hailey.
Even if he wanted to help her, he would not mix Elle's drink with laxatives or anything like that since he did not intend to see her the same
once.
…
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Elle arrived on the floor where the president's office was in the Ace Corporation building.
Due to the large size of Ace Corporation, the company assigns different employees to different floors. The floor on which Jordan offices are located is considered the floor on which all the core departments are located.
They placed the offices of all Ace Corporation senior executives and their respective assistants and secretaries on the same floor.
The other company employees had never met Jordan before.
Therefore, Elle's efforts go to waste when she asks some Ace Corporation employees for a photo of the company's president prior to his arrival.
“Nona Camden, you are here.”
Ashley was the first to greet Elle.
Elle looked at Ashley with a condescending look, still angry at her for not serving any tea during her visit in the morning.
Elle said, “Take me to the meeting room.”
However, Ashley denied, “Nona Camden, I'm sorry, but you better go.”
It surprised Elle for a moment, and she asked, “Why? Will Mr Steele be gone all afternoon?”
Ashley shook her head and explained, “That's not the case. Mr. Steele said that you are too pretty, and he might get distracted by your beauty and forget about work if he discussed the contract with you.”
“So, he wants others from your family to meet him.”
“Other people?”
Elle was a little sad at first, but she was shocked and pleased by the reason for her refusal.
“Did Mr Steele really... praise my beauty? Does he... know what I look like?”
Elle blushed shyly.
Ashley nodded and said, “Yes, Mr. Steele follows your account on TikTok, and he watches your videos all the time.”
Elle was even more arrogant after hearing that. ‘Pak. Steele is one of my admirers!’
Elle said, “Then, I don't think it's a good idea to talk to Mr. Steele about the job at our first meeting either. I will ask someone else from my family to replace me. ”
“Um, Miss Rose, please tell Mr. Steele that he may take me for coffee or to the movies whenever he has.”
Ashley replied, “I will definitely pass your message to him.”
Seeing that there was a big change in Ashley's attitude towards her, Elle said, “Antar me to the elevator.”
“Ya!”
Ashley did as she was told.
Seeing that no one else was around, Elle took out a wad of money from her Louis Vuitton embroidery wallet and gave it to Ashley.
“Send me a photo Mr Steele!”
