âDrewâ¦â
No matter how Benedict called out to him, Drew would ignore him.
Drew did not dare to provoke Jordan again. He had already been beaten twice today, and if he got beaten up a third time, he would be disfigured.
Benedict was Jordanâs former father-in-law, but now they were no longer related to each other. Hence, he was afraid that Jordan might turn his back on them and hit him too.
Benedict was different from Herman. He didnât know any mafia members.
Hence, he picked up his phone and called his daughter Hailey. âHailey, are you still at West Lake Hotel?â
Hailey answered, âYes, Dad. I am.â
Benedict said, âIâm at your grandmaâs place, and weâve discovered that a Richard Mille watch thatâs worth over 800,000 dollars has gone missing. Jordan must have taken it.â
Hailey barked, âThat scoundrel! Itâs no wonder he has the money to stay in the presidential suite of a five-star hotel!â
Benedict said, âHailey, your grandmother is furious, and she wants you to bring Jordan back. I wonât go over. Iâll leave it to you.â
â¦
West Lake Hotel.
Hailey hung up the phone and exclaimed indignantly, âGreat, Jordan, how dare you steal from Grandma? Watch how I deal with you!?!â
Hailey walked towards the front desk and asked, âWhich room is Jordan Steele staying in?â
Seeing this, Tyler hurriedly walked up to her and asked, âHailey, what are you doing?â
âWhat am I doing? Iâm going to bring him back, of course. He has stolen my grandfatherâs watch, which is worth over 800,000 dollars!â Hailey exclaimed.
Tyler knew that Jordan definitely wouldnât just comply, and the both of them would definitely argue when the time comes.
They were in a five-star hotel, and his family was in the hotel business in the first place. What he hated most was people who created trouble in hotels.
Besides, Tyler couldnât afford to provoke the owner of the West Lake Hotel.
Tyler grabbed Haileyâs arm and said, âDonât go, just call the cops.â
Hailey shook him off and refuted, âWhy are you such a coward? If youâre too scared to go, Iâll go by myself!â
After finding out Jordanâs room number, Hailey boarded the elevator and headed to the presidential suite where Jordan was.
Dong-Dong-Dong!
Hailey could not be bothered to ring the doorbell, and she simply pounded the door with her tender fists.
âJordan, you thief! Open the door right now!â
At this juncture, Jordan had just finished taking a shower and was blow-drying his hair. When he heard the knock on the door, he turned off the blow-dryer and vaguely heard Haileyâs voice again.
âWhy is this woman still pestering me?! She came looking for me again even though we just got divorced!â
Jordan put down the hairdryer and walked over to open the door.
As soon as he did, Hailey was greeted with the sight of Jordan dressed in a bathrobe, his voluminous hair combed behind him. It was still damp, and his current hairstyle made him look much more handsome than he was when he had bangs. He also looked more domineering.
Jordanâs bathrobe was not appropriately worn, and the muscles of his upper body were clearly visible.
âJordan actually has absâ¦â
Hailey Camden had always liked men with abs, and despite having been married to Jordan for three years, she never knew that he had such a perfect figure!
âHad I known earlier, I would have made him stay topless at home during summer.â
Hailey felt a little regretful. In her opinion, Jordan was poor, but he was handsome, and if he had abs too, he would make good eye candy.
âWhatâs the matter?â Jordan asked coldly.
Hailey stopped gazing at Jordanâs body, and she questioned furiously, âJordan, did you steal the Richard Mille watch from my grandmaâs house?â
âWhat Richard Mille watch?â Jordan was puzzled.
Hailey snapped, âYouâre still pretending, huh!?! Thereâs a watch thatâs worth over 800 thousand dollars, missing from Grandmaâs home! You must have taken it. Otherwise, how could you have the money to stay in the presidential suite of a five-star hotel? Even I have never stayed in a presidential suite before!â
Jordan couldnât help but burst into laughter, amused by the Camdensâ ridiculousness. They would never offer him any benefits and only go to him whenever it was time to take the rap.
Jordan said, âMiss Camden, I never took a single thing from your family, nor have I stolen any watch. Please leave.â
Hearing Jordan call her Miss Camden, Haileyâs heart was filled with sorrow!
For the past three years, he had called her âHaileyâ affectionately. He would sometimes even address her with terms of endearment like âBaby,â âDearest Wife,â or âGoddess.â
Yet, Jordan now called her Miss Camden.
Feeling aggrieved, Hailey Camden accused sobbingly, âJordan, youâre so heartless! Why are you in such a hurry to chase me away? Is there a woman in your room?â
Of course, there was no woman in Jordanâs room. He wasnât such an easy man.
However, Jordan said, âItâs none of your business regardless of whether thereâs a woman or not. Weâre already divorced.â
Hailey Camden was so exasperated that she pointed at Jordan and snapped, âWeâve only been divorced for less than an hour, and youâve already hooked up with another woman! Youâre using the Camdensâ money too! Youâve really let me down!â
Jordan guffawed. âHah, so youâre allowed to cheat on me while we were still married, but itâs not okay for me to be with another woman after we got a divorce? Whoâs the unfaithful one!?!â
Hailey was speechless. She stopped talking and barged straight in, intending to find the woman and give her a tight slap.
However, Jordan did not let Hailey step into the room at all.
Jordan said, âMiss Camden, youâre not worthy of stepping foot inside the presidential suite of a five-star hotel. If you refuse to leave, Iâll call security.â
