Chapter 30
The Abandoned Husband Dominates
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Hotel magnate? Restaurant mogul? Delivery service owner?
Jordan wanted to subvert and exterminate the big bosses who had dominated Orlando for years in one fell swoop!
Among them, Tyler was the first person that came to Jordanâs mind!
As soon as he thought of Tyler, Jordan recalled everything that his ex-wife, Hailey said.
âLook at Tyler. His family is worth more than a billion dollars. Can you compare to him, you good-for-nothing?â
Jordan humphed softly and asked Victoria, âI heard that the Collins are a first-tier family in Orlando who are worth more than a billion dollars?â
Victoria answered, âYou can say so. They were worth more than a billion dollars two years ago, but their net worth has shrunk greatly, now theyâre probably worth about 500 million dollars. Theyâre not much better than the Camdens now.â
Recalling that Jordan claimed that Hailey was in an extramarital affair with Tyler during the birthday banquet yesterday, Victoria immediately continued.
âHailey Camden must be blind to have chosen that good-for-nothing Tyler Collins over you! Once she finds out your true identity, Iâm afraid sheâll be full of regrets.â
The thought of Hailey Camden made Jordan feel a little bitter. After all, he had loved her for three years!
Victoria continued, âThe Camdens are working on a project lately, and they want us to invest 11 million dollars in it. They offered me many benefits, but Iâll turn them down now and tell them to forget about cooperating with Ace Corporation!â
Victoria initially wanted to make the cooperation happen, but she knew Jordan was on bad terms with the Camdens. Since he used to be the live-in son-in-law of the Camdens, whom they had kicked out afterward, how could he be willing to cooperate with them?
To her surprise, Jordan said, âYou fabricated a number of lies about me yesterday, but there is one thing that you were right about.â
âI keep work and personal life separate. So I wonât boycott the Camdens in business just because of my personal relationship with them.â
âShow me the proposal of that project.â
Victoria was a little surprised, and she thought to herself that Jordan indeed had a moral character.
âYes, Iâll bring it over to you now.â Victoria turned around and was about to leave.
âForget it, Iâll go with you and at the same time check out your office. Iâd like to see if the office of a great beauty like you is full of fragrance.â
Jordan got up from his chair and followed Victoria.
Meanwhile, Tyler was still waiting anxiously in the lobby of the first floor. He hadnât left yet.
He wanted to go up and see what was going on, but he couldnât do so without an access card.
âHey, Mr. Collins.â
A female employee of Ace Corporation took the initiative to walk towards Tyler all of a sudden.
Tyler looked at her, but he didnât recognize who she was.
The lady laughed and said, âMr. Collins, surely you havenât forgotten who I am, have you? Thatâs really sad. You bought me a drink at LINX Bar the other day. Afterward, we went to⦠You had fun with me the entire night.â
Only then did Tyler remember that he had a one-night-stand with her previously.
The poor girlâs mediocre looks and tacky makeup made Tyler feel like Hailey was hundreds of notches higher than her.
He secretly cursed, âDamn it, I must have had too much to drink that day. I accepted such a lousy woman.â
However, Tyler remained smiling and asked, âOh, yes, I remember. Do you work at Ace Corporation?â
The lady nodded.
Tyler grabbed her hand and said, âQuick, take me upstairs. Your deputy president Miss Clarke is in danger!â
A minute later, Tyker arrived at the floor where Jordan was.
As soon as he got out of the elevator, he heard a few female employees of Ace Corporation whispering among themselves.
âHey, you know what? She knelt down right after she saw the president! Do you believe it? She got on her knees the second she saw him!â
Tyler didnât know what they were talking about, but he didnât care about the gossip of Ace Corporation either.
Hence, he simply walked up to them and asked, âMay I ask, where is Miss Victoria Clarke?â
The person he asked was Ashley, Victoriaâs secretary. âMiss Clarke is in her office. Do you have an appointment?â
Tyler ignored her and dashed straight into Victoriaâs office.
As soon as he pushed open the door, he discovered that Jordan was also in Victoriaâs office!
It just so happened that Victoria had found the project proposal of the Camdens and handed it to Jordan.
However, in Tylerâs eyes, she looked like she was assigning a task to her assistant.
âTyler? Who let you in?â Victoria rebuked furiously.
Since Tyler was Jordanâs rival, Victoria couldnât get too close to him and his family from now on!
Tyler didnât answer her question and instead pointed at Jordan. âWow, Jordan, you embarrassing thief! Sure enough, youâre here! Are you hiding here to prepare to exact revenge against Miss Clarke!?!â
Jordan retorted, âIs there something wrong with you? Is this a place you can just enter as you please? Get lost!â
Jordan was the president of Ace Corporation and the owner of this building. How could he allow Tyler to act brazenly and presumptuously here!?!
When Tyler saw how arrogant Jordan was, he snapped indignantly, âHow dare you talk to me like that. This is Victoriaâs office. You should be the one to get lost! Isnât that right, Victoria?â
Smack!
Victoria slapped Tyler on the face and rebuked him in exasperation, âWho are you calling Victoria? Call me Miss Clarke!â
Tyler looked extremely embarrassed, and the sounds of Ashleyâs laughter could be heard coming from outside.
Tyler gradually felt that there was something amiss with the situation. It seemed that everyone was aware that Jordan was in Victoriaâs office.
But why didnât Ashley and the others stop him?
After thinking about it, Tyler suddenly pointed at Jordan and yelled, âI get it! Youâre not here to take revenge on Miss Clarke but to be her bodyguard!â
