A Billionaire After Divorce IN THE CHAIRMAN'S OFFICE
"Sir, I'm only human like you, what are you doing kneeling and bowing to me?" At the taxi driver's unexpected gesture, Jordan frowns, and darts over to him, helping him to his feet. His frown soon fades away as he adds, "If you want to say anything, you can feel free to do so while standing. There is really no reason to go to such extremes."The taxi driver is taken aback by Jordan's humility. This is someone who could reduce the Cadens to such miserable states, he had expected him to be so proud and arrogant but that is not the case at all.His admiration for Jordan can't help but increase by leaps and bounds. He gazes at him and says with utmost respect, "For someone who could be so powerful as to reduce the members of the Cadens of Opulence Heights to their knees, you are extremely humble, sir.""You flatter me," Jordan dismisses his praise with a wave of his finger. "I'm not as powerful as you think. I only took advantage of the fact that they're powerless here in East Veridora wit

World Apparels Galaxy...Upon receiving Jordan's call, Arthur immediately drops everything he is doing in his office and rushes to the chairman's office. He knocks lightly before entering, bowing his head respectfully as he greets, "Sire. I didn't know you were heading over here; I would have personally received you.""It's no big deal," Jordan dismissively waves him off. "Sit." He gestures."Uhm," Arthur is hesitant. Jordan is his boss, how can he possibly sit with him? "I'm okay standing, Sire," he politely declines."I said sit," Jordan glares at him. "And loosen up," he adds."As you wish, Sire," Arthur lets out a deep breath, relieving himself of any anxiety in his chest, and calmly settles into the chair before Jordan. "Is there anything you want to talk about, Sire?" he inquires.Jordan doesn't immediately respond, instead taking in the surroundings of the office. It dawns on him that, since the inception of the company, this marks his first visit to his own office. He is visi

"Mmm," Jordan merely hums, showing no reaction whatsoever to the information."Do you already know about this, Sire?" Seeing Jordan's reaction, Arthur can't help but ask, his brows furrowed in surprise."Yes," Jordan replies simply. "Last night I overheard Henry Maguire urging Isabella to invest in Starwood Apparels. "I tried all I could to talk her out of it but she wouldn't listen to me. She would rather listen to that Henry of a guy," he adds with a helpless sigh, "I don't understand how she could have so little trust in me."Arthur is surprised to learn that Jordan had taken the initiative to warn Isabella about the consequences of investing in Starwood Apparels yet she wouldn't listen to him. He shakes his head, asking anxiously, "Sire, considering that you painstakingly built that company to what it is now, and since Miss Isabella is insisting on investing in Starwood Apparels, which we both know would only lead to the collapse of Sun Glow Apparels, are you really going to turn

"It must be Mr. Wright, Sire," Arthur says, staring at Jordan for his next order."Let him in."Arthur nods and calls out, "Come in."The door opens, and indeed, Benjamin walks in, his steps hesitant as if he is afraid to tread too forcefully. Arthur is merely the President of the company. His office is on the floor below this so he doesn't understand why he would call him over to the chairman's office. He is overwhelmed by the fear of the unknown.He swallows a lump of spittle as he glances around the office, his mouth watering at the sight. It's his first time in the chairman's office and he can't help admiring every bit of it. The office really lives up to its name."Are you here solely to admire the office?"At that sudden question, Benjamin snaps out of his trance, his gaze dropping to Arthur. "My apologies, President," he stammers in embarrassment. "You sent for..." His words catch in his throat as he notices the young man in the chairman's seat. It's Jordan, the chairman!His
A Billionaire After Divorce ANYTHING THE MATTER?
Starwood Apparels, Opulence Heights...In the general manager's office, Anderson wears an indifferent expression as he listens attentively to his secretary's reports."Sir, due to your mouthwatering offer and other potential benefits, so many companies and families from East Veridora have also shown interest in investing in us," the secretary declares enthusiastically."Mmm," Anderson merely hums in response. He really isn't intrigued by the information reported by his secretary as he had long expected things to turn out this way. After all, humans are naturally covetous and would do anything for wealth and power."So," he drops his glass of wine to the table and looks up at her. "When do you plan to head over to Eve's Allure Emporium and declare our interest in securing the order?""Uhm, Sir Anderson, I wasn't done reporting," the secretary, instead of answering his question, says with a frown."What is the point of reporting all that? The main thing is securing the order before tha

MY SON
Henry's face darkens. He is the young master of the Maguires, how can he get on his knees and apologize to Jordan?Such an act would not only disappoint his family but also jeopardize his position as the heir apparent. His pride and ego would also be crushed and he might never be able to raise his head high again."You don't want to do it?""You're being unfairly unfair to me. When Isabella apologized to you, you didn't ask her to get on her knees. Why are you asking me to do that? What are you trying to achieve?""Achieve? Hmph!" Jordan snorts. "I choose how I want anyone to apologize to me. It's late, and I need to leave. Are you apologizing or not?""I can only apologize to you while standing; I'll never kneel to you," Henry grits his teeth."What if I insist?" A menacing aura suddenly bursts out of Jordan, and he grabs Henry's shoulder, applying force."Ah!" Henry cries out, his face distorting. "What are you doing?!" he barks."Kneel!" Jordan bellows, applying more force.THUD!J

GET ON YOUR KNEES
Seeing this, Natasha turns pale. From Jordan's reaction, it's obvious he and this person are not on good terms. This leaves her wondering how that could be when the person gifted him such a unique card.Perhaps he did before whatever happened between them happened. She can't help feeling bad for asking the question."I'm sorry," she whispers."It's fine," Jordan offers her a small smile. "You did nothing. Let's just continue eating."Back at the hall...Somehow Henry and Isabella has managed to consume a quarter of the order. For an order that took three tables, that in itself is a commendable feat. At this moment, Isabella is sitting on the floor, drenched in sweat.Though there's AC in the room, it's as if nothing is touching her. Her naturally flat tummy appears to have broken its record today as it is now protruding. Beside Isabella, Henry is in a similar state, just that he is gasping so much, almost as if he can't breathe.For the first time, he believes the adage that says wha

I BROKE A BANK
"What? Why? Jordan paid all the bills so why am I not allowed to leave?" Isabella asks, staring at the burly men in confusion."Our general manager instructed us not to let any of you leave until the food and wine on the round table are cleared.""What?" Isabella's jaw drops. "What does he mean by that? How can only two of us finish that quantity of food and wine?""We don't know, Miss, but that is the instruction. Except the food and wines are cleared, you can only remain here.""How ridiculous!" Henry stands and bellows. "I'm the young master of the Maguires, will you two really stop me from leaving?""We only follow instructions, sir. It doesn't matter who you are, so yes.""Fine, wait until I send for my family guards!" Henry glares at them and reaches into his pocket and pulls out his phone.However, before he can do anything with it, the phone is swiftly snatched from him."I'm sorry, sir. But that is not allowed. You can only start eating now or remain here even after the resta

NOT ALLOWED TO LEAVE
Henry and Isabella had devised a plan to embarrass Jordan, hoping he would struggle to pay the bills and end up washing plates for a month. However, their scheme took an unexpected turn when Jordan not only paid the bills but did so with an astonishing 2.4 billion, 98 thousand dollars. This isn't 2. 4 million, 98 thousand dollars or 200 million, 98 thousand dollars but 2.4 billion, 98 thousand dollars! Isabella doesn't know what to make of this. The Jordan she divorced days ago was just a penniless man, one she and her family saw as a liability, which resulted to the divorce. How did he become so wealthy in the blink of an eye?

WHAT?!
"What is this?" As the waitress accepts the card from Jordan and stares down at it, she asks, her brows furrowed in confusion."Hahaha, Jordan, did you pick up a play card on the floor? When did debit start being gold in color?" Henry jeers, laughing mockingly at him."That you don't know the card, is that what makes it a play card that I picked on the floor?" Jordan scoffs. "Anyways, your reaction is well expected, I would have been even surprised if any of you knew the card because the card is only one in the entire country, specially made for me.""Hah, what is that? Isn't he exaggerating too much?" A diner frowns. "He is just a pauper; how could he have a card that is only one in the country and is specially made for him? In fact, when has it ever been heard that a card was specially made for someone? Even the King of Zephyria might not have such card, who is he to?""He must be playing games with us all! Hah, he has no money and he made such a scene. How infuriating.""Well, I'm

GOLD CARD
"Why will I?" Jordan retorts, rolling his eyes. "Please order away! Don't hold back!""Jordan," Natasha, not being able to help it, tugs at his shirt. "They are obviously plotting against you, how can you still ask her to order after Henry has ordered that much? Do you really have the money to pay?"Jordan smiles. "I wasn't joking when I said I could buy this whole restaurant, let alone a few drinks and meals. What are you waiting for? Order yours as well. Also add mine.""Hahaha, Jordan, you seem to have hit the jackpot. Even your character is like one a wealthy man. In that case, I won't be polite neither will I hold back." Isabella turns to the waiter who is still waiting. "I will have this, this, this, this..." Unlike Henry who only placed order for approximately twelve meals and wines, Isabella takes hers up a notch, ordering 20 meals and 20 wines, the meals in the price range of five hundred thousand and the wines in the price range of one million."Ah!" Natasha slams her hand

PLOTTING AGAINST HIM
Two days ago or thereabout, Isabella met with Henry Maguire who urged her to invest in Starwood Apparels. However, Jordan came out of nowhere to tell her that doing so would be the greatest mistake she would ever make. He even claimed that the company would soon be destroyed. He had been so confident in his words that she started doubting her decision. If not for Henry that urged to trust him even just that once, that was how she would have been deceived and lost out on a rare opportunity to rise her family back to glory.Now, when Henry asked Jordan what he could say considering how things just turned out, she had expected him to at least be humble and sane enough to apologize for spilling the trash he spilled the last time.Instead of doing that, he began spilling another trash and acting as if he was one celestial god. She is so infuriated and can't help but wonder how it could be possible that they were once married. At this moment, she feels divorcing him has to be the best dec

SCULPTED PALATE
"Let's sit here," finding a table close to the window, Jordan says and draws out a chair, gesturing like a perfect gentleman,"Please sit, My Lady."Natasha rolls her eyes and mouths a soft "thank you" before taking her seat."You are always welcome, My Lady," Jordan smiles and walks over to the other side, also taking his seat."Welcome to Sculpted Palate, one of the best restaurants in East Veridora, dear prestigious customers. "Here, we serve all kinds of sumptuous and luxurious meals. Here are our menus for your selections. The price of each meal is attached to it," almost immediately, a beautiful waitress approaches Jordan and Natasha and says with a charming smile.Jordan doesn't bother to accept a menu from the waitress. He says indifferently, "I'll have anything the lady picks."Natasha feels her cheeks reddening at that statement. She quickly takes a menu from the waitress and uses it to cover her face. Simultaneously, she glances over the pages.The next second, a frown res

LET'S GO IN
"Mr. Callahan, have you found what it is you forgot? What was it though?" As they pass the receptionist's desk, the receptionist, catching a glimpse of Jordan, lifts her gaze and asks."Yes, I have, and it is...," Jordan pauses, a smile tugging at his lips as he glances down at Natasha Natasha beside him."What are you looking at me for?" Natasha turns deeper shades of red. She has to turn her face away him.Jordan chuckles and drawls, "I told the beautiful receptionist that I lost something, which was why I came back to the company, but what she didn't know was that I actually didn't lose something but someone. Now, I've found her and I'm leaving with her.""Aww, that's so sweet," the receptionist whispers. "I've been seeing you guys together a lot. It's a good thing you decided to allow love blossom between you. "You guys look so good together, almost like a match made in heaven! I can't wait for your wedding invitation!"Jordan stares at Natasha, whose cheeks are now as red as fr
