the Journey of the Resurrection of the Abandoned Son-in-law
chapter 9
After hearing Benedict and Syvie's words, the guests who were all tense and nervous, significantly relaxed.
Indeed, the rich upper rods were all rotten from a young age and enjoyed all kinds of privileges. They could not bear being persecuted at all, so how could a descendant be willing to become a son-in-law who stayed for three years?
Everyone feels that Ryan's dismissal as a general agent has nothing to do with Jordan.
Perhaps it was just a coincidence that Jordan made the call and pretended to be authoritative, or perhaps Jordan had known the news before the call.
However, no matter what happens, Ryan's career is on the brink of collapse, and that is a sure fact.
Old Madame Camden winked at Herman, who immediately understood, took the red wine Ryan had just given them, and then walked over.
“Ryan, take back this bottle of wine. My mom has had a change of preference lately, and she doesn't like drinking red wine anymore.”
After learning that Ryan had been removed as a general agent, Herman changed the way he greeted Ryan.
He called her ‘Master. I don't know just now, but now, he called her by her name!
He even returned Ryan's gift!
He obviously didn't want anything to do with Ryan!
Ryan frantically said, “Master. Camden, keep the wine to yourself. If Old Lady Camden does not drink red wine, you can drink it instead.”
Herman insisted on returning the wine to Ryan and said, “We understand your good intentions, but we also do not like to drink.”
Ryan picked up a bottle of wine with an embarrassed expression as he hurriedly returned to his desk and prepared to give it to someone else.
“Nona Clarke, Mr. Zack, it took me a lot of effort to buy this 1990 bottle of Domaine de la Romanee-Conti. I'm gonna open it now. Let's finish!”
Ryan didn't even call the waiter and opened the wine bottle himself.
However, no one wanted to drink a bottle of expensive wine after it was opened.
“Nona Clarke, I'll pour it for you. Please try.” Ryan said as he walked towards Victoria.
Victoria politely declined, “Sorry, I'm driving here. I can't drink.”
“You can't drink?”
Ryan clearly remembered that just now, Victoria took the initiative to toast him!
Ryan walked towards Zack, who also denied, “I only drink white wine.”
The other people at the table took the opportunity to grab their glasses and went to Old Lady Camden's table to toast to her and wish her a happy birthday.
Victoria was the only one left at the crowded table a while ago.
“Poor people in pragmatic society.”
Seeing the miserable state Ryan was in, Jordan could not help but shake his head.
Camdens and the upper echelons in this circle are too pragmatic. No wonder Hailey was unfaithful to her husband for money.
When Ryan sees that Victoria is the only one left at the table, he thinks Victoria is still willing to be his friend.
Ryan went ahead and asked, “Nona Clarke, can we exchange numbers? I'd like to take Mr. Willis out for a meal if there is a chance in the future.”
Victoria took a sip of tea and said, “Sorry, I didn't bring my phone.”
“Oh, alright.”
Ryan looks so embarrassed. As a man, the most miserable and torturous thing was not to be beaten but to be insulted and looked down upon by others.
Jordan has given Ryan the punishment he deserves!
Ryan stood still alone with a bottle of red wine in his hand while the others laughed and chatted merrily among themselves.
Seeing Ryan's miserable condition, Jordan sympathizes with him and decides to give him another chance.
“Ryan.”
Jordan suddenly called out to Ryan and then pulled out an empty wine glass.
“If you are with
sincerely apologize to me now, I'll allow you to pour a glass of wine for me, and then I'll tell James Willis that you can renew the contract for another year.”
Jordan did not state it very clearly, but if he drank the wine Ryan poured, it meant that he had forgiven Ryan.
None of the people Ryan poured wine to want to drink, so Jordan really helped him.
However, Ryan felt Jordan was taking advantage of him!
Ryan said, “A bottle of this wine costs more than a few hundred thousand. If you really want to drink it, just say so. Why are you acting like a big boss? ”
“You want me to apologize to you, useless daughter-in-law? Isn't that the same as making everyone here look down on me even more? How can I continue to be a part of this circle!?!”
Jordan shook his head and said, “Indeed, a pathetic person must have a disgusting flaw. In that case, I will let you fight on your own!”
Previously, Jordan had sympathy for Ryan, probably because his grandfather raised him to be a good person.
Grandpa Jordan said that those who are kind are more likely to be happy.
Since Ryan didn't appreciate the opportunity Jordan gave him, the latter no longer pityed Ryan.
Ryan quickly picked up the red wine and left the banquet awkwardly.
After Ryan left, Jordan looked at his sad back and silently thought,
‘I wonder if I will meet this person again in the future. He will probably be very sorry when he finds out that I am the future CEO of Ace Corporation, huh?’
While thinking about it, Jordan scooped up the soup for himself with a spoon.
To his surprise, Elle, who was sitting opposite him, wanted to drink the soup as well, and hence, their spoon touched.
Clang.
“Ah, that sucks, my spoon touched that useless spoon. My spoon is now dirty..”
Elle immediately sobbed and wailed in disdain.
Drew hastily spoke for his sister, “Jordan, of all dishes, you just have to compete with my sister. Is this what you want?”
In fact, Jordan only thought about a few things and did not bother to pay attention to what he wanted to eat.
“Pepaya..”.
Jordan saw Elle's voluptuous figure and immediately felt awkward.
The attractive figure of Elle is accredited for her diet and not her genetics.
Every time he eats with Elle, Jordan realizes that he likes to eat foods that seem to increase in size, such as papaya.
Jordan looked at Elle's near-perfect figure and said, “You don't have to eat papaya anymore, do you?”
Elle immediately became angry and stood up to walk towards Jordan. He then stood still, almost pressing his body near Jordan.
When Jordan looked up, he felt like he was looking at the top of a mountain …
Elle asked angrily, “Jordan, what did you mean by that just now? Why don't I have to eat papaya again?”
Jordan is Elle's cousin-in-law and therefore cannot state things too explicitly.
Jordan said, “Forget it, let's just say I didn't say anything. I'll bring you some soup. You can drink it yourself.”
However, even after Jordan took the initiative to bring soup to Elle, Elle was still not calm.
He walked over to Old Madam Camden's desk and complained.
“Grandma, don't let Jordan stay for lunch. He didn't even prepare a birthday present. Why should she be allowed to eat at your birthday party?”
“In the last three years, Uncle and Aunt wanted to get rid of Jordan. Grandma, if you don't hold her back, how can she stay in our family for three years?
“What an ungrateful. We may have mistreated him, but at least we let him live in a luxury apartment and drive an expensive car. However, he did not even prepare a gift for your 80th birthday.”
Even though Elle was having trouble with Jordan, she did make sense.
Jordan's job is to be a son-in-law who lives for three years. If he stopped, he would be considered a failure, and his grandfather would punish him accordingly.
If not for Old Lady Camden's insistence not to let Hailey divorce Jordan for three years, Jordan's mission would have failed long ago.
In addition, Camdens has been providing for Jordan for three years. Today, he will officially leave Camdens. Moreover, it was Old Madam Camden's 80th birthday, so she should have brought him a gift.
Jordan thought about it, picked up his phone, then called Butler Frank again.
“Hey, prepare a birthday gift on my behalf and send it to Marriott Hotel.”
After hearing her words, Elle said in disdain, “Psht, did you finally come to your senses? However, we Camdens will not accept the garbage you send!”
Drew also chimed in, “Jordan, don't be shy. Don't bring all kinds of trash to birthday parties. See all the gifts here. Each one is worth at least 30,000 dollars. ”
Hailey also doesn't want Jordan to embarrass herself and herself. After all, they haven't officially divorced, and she's going to humiliate Hailey and her family.
Hailey said, “Call and return your gift. If you insist on giving Grandma a birthday gift, I'll ask someone to prepare it on your behalf. ”
Jordan continued to eat his food and ignored the three of them.
Indeed, he did not tell Butler Frank how expensive the gift was.
However, he knew that the Steeles would never give cheap gifts!
Only ten minutes have passed.
A deliveryman suddenly appeared at the entrance of the hotel lobby.
The hotel immediately stopped him. “Sorry, but it's Old Lady Camden's birthday banquet today. No one is allowed in. ”
The shipping clerk said, “Oh, I'm here to deliver birthday gifts.”
As he spoke, the delivery man took out a beautiful box that was obviously very expensive.
The officer let him in.
The shipping clerk walked in and asked, “Can I ask whose birthday is today?”
Drew was furious at the introductory uniform, and he stood up to reprimand,
“It's my grandmother's birthday party. Who let you in!?!”
The delivery officer explained,
“I just met the owner of Rolls Royce on East Central Boulevard, and he may not be able to arrive here now due to heavy traffic.”
“So, he gave me 50 dollars and asked me to bring this gift to Hotel Marriott.”
Hearing the mention of “ owner Rolls-Royce”, Drew's attitude instantly changed.
“Oh, so it's a birthday present for my Grandma. Give me that gift.”
After picking up the gift box, Drew curiously opened it, only to be stunned.
It was an emerald jade bracelet!
Old Madame Camden was also a bit curious. “Drew, what gift is it?”
Drew hurriedly ran over and said, “Grandmother, look, this jade bracelet looks really expensive!”
Upon seeing it, Old Camden Mistress grabbed him excitedly and tried to feel the texture while appreciating the color. He's getting very agitated!
“What a beautiful emerald jade! Is there anyone here who has a rich knowledge of jadeite? Can you give me an estimate of the price for this bracelet? ”
At this moment, a middle-aged man who owned a jewelry store came over.
“Mrs old Camden, let me see you.”
While looking at it, the man said, “This is a type of glass jade that has a pure, bright, and even color. There is not a single defect, and it is definitely expensive.”
Almost drooling, Hailey asked, “Can you tell me how much it costs?”
To observe the translucent jade under the sunlight, the man walked to the window at the entrance of the hall where the sunlight entered.
After looking at it, the man said excitedly: “It was not translucent, but completely transparent! This was the best quality of jade! This bracelet is worth at least 1 million dollars!”
Everyone is dumbfounded.
How could a freight forwarder deliver something worth 1 million dollars?!
Who is this tycoon!?!
