Chapter 269: Baby Shower
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jordan did not have the same thoughts as Elle, but he was curious why Elle would have such thoughts.
Jordan asked, “Why do you think that man will come here again?”
Elle was relatively straightforward as well. “Out of habit, I guess. In the past, he must have dropped by all the time while you were not at home. He must have gotten used to entering the residential estate and climbing in through the window. He’d be really confident when he comes over again, won’t he?”
Jordan felt that Elle’s analysis made a lot of sense. The villa might just be the best place for luring that man to come over!
As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place, so that man would definitely think so.
Jordan had already sent people to check the surveillance camera footage, but it was no longer possible to find the footage from ten months ago because they had already been covered by the new footage.
According to Pablo, the bodyguards and guards of the villa had already been replaced in the first half of last year.
Hence, it was probably extremely difficult to find that man through a common method.
After sending Elle away, Jordan immediately called Hailey.
Jordan asked, “Hello, Hailey, where are you?”
Hailey said, “I’m in New York City. Cayden and I have just signed the divorce papers. That scumbag is really stingy. He initially agreed to give me 50 million dollars, but he went back on his word!”
“I’ve been married to him for ten months, and he didn’t even give me a single penny!”
Jordan was actually quite happy when hearing Hailey’s angry tone of voice.
‘This is the consequence you deserve, Hailey Camden!’
‘Go get married to a tall, handsome and rich man as you wish. Go get married to Cayden Huxley. Go cheat on me and betray me. What did you end up getting today!?!’
‘You deserve it!’
Hailey said sobbingly, “Had I known earlier, I wouldn’t have divorced you back then. I fell for it last year because of Cayden’s sweet talk.”
Jordan didn’t want to hear the rest of what Hailey had to say. Instead, he asked, “When are you returning to Orlando?”
Hailey said, “I’m going back now. I don’t want to come back to this shitty place again!”
Jordan said, “Don’t you want to live in Rose Garden Villa? Bring the kids here when you return.”
Hailey suddenly became really excited, and she exclaimed, “Ah! Is it true? Do you finally agree to let me live with you? Thank you, Jordan. I knew you still loved me. I swear from today onwards, I will only love you for the rest of my life. I will never…”
Seeing how excited Hailey was, Jordan frantically said, “You misunderstood. I’m not going to live with you. I’ll be living elsewhere. You can live here alone.”
“Oh.” Hailey was still elated to receive the news, even if Jordan wouldn’t live with her.
Reason being, she felt that there was still a possibility for the two of them to reconcile since Jordan was still willing to let her live in his home even after that incident.
However, Hailey had read too much into it.
The reason that he let Hailey back into Rose Garden Villa was because he wanted to use her to lure that man.
Jordan had a hunch that that man would definitely show up!
...
Soon, a week passed. It was the 1st of March.
At the Marriott Hotel at 11 am. It was the same hotel where Diana held her 80th birthday banquet.
Today, the Camdens were holding another celebration here: the baby shower for Hailey’s newborn twins.
The Camdens spent a ton of money to charter the entire hotel, including the lobby, and all floors, to prevent irrelevant people from appearing.
However, today’s scene was very different from Diana’s birthday banquet last year.
Last year, when Diana celebrated her 80th birthday, it was a lively event that all the famous businessmen in Orlando had attended.
All the tables were full then.
Hailey had asked to divorce Jordan back then, so it was extremely lively.
Today, the venue was relatively empty.
In addition to the Camdens’ relatives who occupied two tables, the rest of the tables were all empty because none of the invited guests turned up.
Diana couldn’t help but sigh, “Alas, when had we ever had so few guests at our celebratory banquets? If the old man sees this, he definitely won’t be able to rest in peace!”
“Hailey, how can you live up to your grandfather’s efforts?”
Holding Jordan’s baby and watching Leah, who was in a stroller, Hailey retorted when she heard Diana’s complaint.
“Grandma, can you stop complaining about me? When I married Cayden previously and helped raise our family’s net worth to nearly 4 billion, didn’t you always praise me for marrying the right man?”
“If you want to say that I’m blind and have bad judgment, you have to say the same for everyone in our family! None of you know how to cherish Jordan!”
At this moment, Herman hollered in exasperation, “Bastard! How can you speak to your grandmother in such a manner?! Who are you calling blind? Elle and Drew had long realized that Jordan was different and even built a good relationship with him. Yesterday, the three of them even played a game together!”
Elle said, “Yes, yes, I play the auxiliary role, and I was attached to Jordan’s game avatar. We even won several games!”
Hailey couldn’t help but sneer. “Really? Your relationship is really good, but sorry, I gave birth to Jordan’s son.”
Hearing her words, Elle could no longer laugh.
At this moment, a figure suddenly walked over.
“A guest has arrived!” Diana got excited.
Right now, the Camdens were on the verge of bankruptcy. All the projects under them were suspended, and they didn’t even have enough money for the employees’ salaries.
They could be said to be in the doldrums, too so no one wanted to attend at all.
“This person is so familiar!”
The one who spoke was not one of the Camdens, but Jordan!
At this moment, Jordan was also in this hotel, but he was in the private room upstairs. He was now looking at the scene on the first floor through the camera.
Salvatore, who was at the side, said, “Isn’t that Ryan Dunn, the former general agent of Ubereats takeout delivery?”
“Yes, it’s Ryan Dunn.”
Jordan also remembered Ryan Dunn, and he couldn’t help but remember how he made him remove his work uniform in front of everyone right here a year ago.
Afterward, he lost the right to be the general agent because he had offended Jordan.
Now that they were meeting again, it seemed that Ryan had lost his former glory and was now like a hooligan.
“Hey, is that you, Mr. Dunn?” Herman recognized Ryan Dunn immediately.
Slightly tipsy, Ryan said with a smile, “Haha, it’s been a while. Mr. Camden.”
The venue was very empty, and the Camdens were rather glad that Ryan showed up today. They quickly asked him to take a seat.
“Mr. Dunn, quickly have a seat. What would you like to drink?” Benedict greeted.
Ryan exclaimed with a look of contempt, “Hah, I’m not here to attend your celebratory banquet but to see how you’ve made a joke of yourselves!”
“Haha, I never thought the Camdens, a top family in Orlando, would one day end up like this too!”
“If it wasn’t for the sake of helping you people last year, I wouldn’t have offended Mr. Steele and ended up in this situation today! You guys deserve it!”
At this moment, Hailey suddenly put down the baby, got up from her seat, and walked towards the drunk Ryan Dunn. She then gave him a tight slap!
