the Journey of the Resurrection of the Abandoned Son-in-law
chapter 7
Herman, Ryan and the others almost fainted!
‘You don't have a lighter?’
‘There are so many lighters here, do you not know how to borrow it?’
‘How dare you publicly reject Victoria, the top goddess of Orlando's rich and powerful upper-class circle!?!’
Victoria was also stunned. He put the cigarette that was already in his mouth back into the cigarette box.
He then got up from his seat and walked towards Jordan.
Victoria tall and slim. After putting on the stiletto, he was actually the same height as Jordan.
He observed Jordan from head to toe and was happy to find that Jordan was rather handsome.
Victoria said condescendingly, “Name.”
Jordan asked confusedly, “What name?”
Victoria says, “Your name.”
Jordan asked, “Are you deaf? Didn't Herman just say that my name was Jordan Steele?”
“Backed! Don't be rude to Miss Clarke!” Herman scolded Jordan loudly.
Victoria waved her hand nonchalantly and said, “Jordan, since you have the same surname as the new president of Ace Corporation, I want to give you a way out.”
The crowd was shocked, especially the Camden family, whose focus was not on the last sentence but the previous one.
The new president of Ace Corporation is also surnamed Steele!
“I finally know the surname of the new president Ace Corporation,” Old Lady Camden said, feeling much happier.
‘How can unimportant Jordan be as important as 70 million dollars?’
Benedict hurriedly stepped forward and asked, “Nona Clarke, what is Mr Steele's full name?”
Victoria smiled and replied, “Master. Steele doesn't want too many people to know about him for now. Sorry, I haven't been able to tell you.”
In fact, Victoria did not even know her full name. All he knows is that he's surnamed Steele and still young.
Jordan guesses that Victoria must not know that she is the president of Ace Corporation. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked her to light his cigarette.
Jordan smiled and asked, “Nona Clarke, how do you plan on giving me a way out?”
Victoria said, “As long as you bow and scrape while apologizing to Old Lady Camden, Drew, and your wife, I will be willing to mediate the situation.”
“After that, I will also hire you to be my personal bodyguard with an annual salary of 30,000 dollars.”
After he said that, everyone became in an uproar.
“Nona Clarke tried to protect that jerk Jordan! Why!?!”
“As long as he kneels and admits his mistake, he will not be boycotted. She could even be Miss Clarke's pretty bodyguard. This punk will definitely approve!”
Victoria looked at Jordan with an ambiguous look, and somehow, jealousy appeared in Hailey's heart!
Hailey grabbed Old Lady Camden's arm sadly and said, “Grandmother, Miss Clarke is against you.”
Drew said softly, “Yes, we can't let Jordan have a way out. Isn't Miss Clarke usually on good terms with us? Why doesn't he help us?”
Drew couldn't understand it at all. For Drew, Jordan is just a son-in-law who has no background but has received at least a million benefits from the Camden family!
Old Madam Camden patted her grandchildren's hands and said softly, “Kids, learn from her. Miss Clarke is brilliant.”
“Why did he become vice president at such a young age?”
“Why can he easily get acquainted with every rich person?”
“It was because he never offended anyone easily and could make any man go crazy over him and thank him.”
“Hailey, you have to work hard to be a woman like Victoria.”
Hailey looked at Victoria biting her lips, overwhelmed with jealousy.
The Camden family started to sigh. Since Victoria had pleaded for Jordan, there was no way they could force her to a dead end.
However, they did not expect…
“I refused.”
jordan said slowly!
Jordan actually refused the huge favor Victoria had offered him!
Everyone doesn't understand why Jordan did that!
They felt that it would not be a shame for Jordan, the son-in-law who lives in the Camden family, to bow and berate them and admit his guilt.
In addition, she could work for a beauty as voluptuous as Victoria and earn a high annual salary.
Even fools know which option to choose!
But Jordan actually refused.
Victoria doesn't believe it either. “What did you say?”
Jordan looked at Victoria and said, “I said, I refused.”
Victoria looked a little angry. “Repeat yourself!”
Jordan gently pinched Victoria's ear with her right hand and yelled into her ear, “I refused!”
“Ah!”
Victoria was confused, and she backed away continuously, her ears being tingled by
jordan's Voice.
“How dare you attack Miss Clarke!?!”
herman shouted, but he did not dare to go forward.
“Alright, Jordan, you have guts!”
Victoria had not expected this surviving son-in-law to be so disrespectful to her.
In that case, he felt that he no longer needed to defend her!
“Mistress Camden old, me, Victoria, vice president of Ace Corporation, is willing to stand in solidarity with the Camden family and leave Jordan without a future.” He declared with respect.
The Camden family felt excited after hearing Victoria's words!
“Hahaha, Jordan, you are useless, now you can't even be a bodyguard! In the future, there will no longer be any chance for you to survive in Orlando. Ha ha ha!”
Drew laughed out loud.
Although Hailey pitied Jordan, she still raised her head arrogantly and silently thought,
‘This is all your fault! You just have to accept everything I've done for you!’
However, Jordan remained calm and composed.
She asked Victoria, “Nona Clarke, may I ask if your words just represent you as an individual or Ace Corporation?”
Victoria folded her hands and said, “Of course I represent both.”
Jordan kept asking, “You are the vice president of Ace Corporation, not the president. What is your right to represent the entire Ace Corporation?”
Jordan's question made Victoria feel ashamed.
Although everyone recognized Victoria's power, she was indeed not the highest authority in Ace Corporation. Correctly, he should not make a stand on behalf of the president of the company.
He can only do so if he and the president are in a very close relationship, such as husband and wife.
Victoria paused before continuing, “Alright, I don't want to say it at first, but since you want to know the reason for your death, I'll tell you guys.”
“Actually, the new president of Ace Corporation, Mr. Steele, is my lover!”
His words caused a huge uproar throughout the location of the birthday banquet event.
“What? That mysterious Mr Steele is actually Miss Clarke's boyfriend? No wonder he managed to become president out of nowhere!”
“People who can be fit and worthy for Miss Clarke must be as domineering presidents as Mr. Steele. They are a couple made in heaven. ”
“Useful jordan. They are a couple in a romantic relationship. They even slept together. Of course he can represent Mr. Steele and the entire Ace Corporation!”
“Yes, how dare she question Miss Clarke's ability and authority? He has a death wish!”
“…”
This time it was Jordan's turn to freeze in shock.
‘Damn it, since when did I become your lover, Victoria?’
‘Are you not ashamed to call me your girlfriend in front of me!?!’
At this moment, Camdens was the most excited.
Herman said excitedly, “Nona Clarke, why don't you immediately reveal that Mr. new president. Steele is your lover? Since he's your girlfriend, we're relieved now!”
Benedict also came and said, “Yes, Miss Clarke, you should talk to Mr. Steele about that contract.”
The Camdens have bribed Victoria. Because the president, Mr. Steele, Victoria's lover, they assume that a 70 million dollar investment would be a sure bet.
Victoria said, “My boyfriend is very considerate and serious about working. He always drew a clear line between work and personal life. She doesn't like to bring romance to the office.”
“So, I hope you can help me keep this secret.”
Jordan could not help but feel the urge to laugh. ‘You found a reason so weak after you finished bragging because you were afraid someone else would leak it.’
After saying that, Victoria looked at Jordan and asked, “What else should you say?”
Unwilling to reveal it, Jordan held back his laughter and asked, “I heard that Mr. Steele not only has a huge fortune but is also very handsome, even more than a celebrity. He is also proficient in music, chess, literature, and art. Miss Clarke, you may be beautiful, but I doubt Mr. Steele will love you.”
Victoria hump it coldly. “The amazing people are always interested in each other! Mr. Steele also fell in love with me at first sight. He even booked an entire island in Southeast Asia and held a grand ceremony to confess
to me and ask me to be his girlfriend!”
The girls in the room were all green with envy when they heard that.
Astonished, Jordan looked at Victoria, thinking to herself, ‘This woman is so good at making things up!’
Jordan smiled and shook his head. “MS. Clarke, since you are so close to Mr. Steele, I have nothing to say.”
Old Madam Camden smiled and said, “Thank you, thank you all for doing this kindness on my behalf!”
Drew walked towards Orlando again. “Haha, no use, you will no longer have a foothold in Orlando from now on. Pack up and get lost from Orlando, haha! ”
Jordan ignored Drew and just stared at Hailey. “Let's go to the lawyer's office now.”
“Sure!”
Seeing the high society Orlando had boycotted Jordan, he knew that it was over for him and wanted to cut ties with him as soon as possible.
“Wait a minute.”
Old Madam Camden suddenly spoke up and saw the clock hanging on the wall in the lobby. The time has shown at 12 p.m.
Old Madam Camden said, “It's exactly 12 noon. The birthday banquet has officially begun. Eat something before you go.”
“Ya.” Hailey knows that Old Lady Camden is a very traditional person. Therefore, he could not go anywhere because it was time to eat.
Moreover, it was Old Camden Madam's 80th birthday party, and hence, they had to follow the rules.
Drew pointed to the entrance of the hall and said, “Jordan, get lost and wait outside. Hailey will go to the attorney's office with you after she finishes eating.”
However, at this moment, Old Madam Camden suddenly said, “Jordan, you can stay and eat with us.”
Drew exclaimed in shock, “Grandma, why did you let him stay? He's not worth it!”
Jordan was a little surprised.
Old Madame Camden said, “Because the divorce is not yet finalized, she is still a member of Camden, and hence, I am obliged to feed her!”
