A Billionaire After Divorce SHAMELESS AND OVERBEARING
"Huh?" The young woman's eyes twitch in shock, and the small smile on her face vanishes. She had only been standing up for her niece, whom she feels is being treated unfairly, but instead of listening to her, Jordan actually asked her to pay $100,000 as well. It's one thing to see her niece doing it and entirely another for her to actually do so as well. She is a woman who cherishes even the least one dollar and wouldn't spend any money except if it is really necessary.How can she possibly give out $100,000 to Jordan just like that? She can't even bear the thought!She frowns deeply, retorting in blatant displeasure, "Sir, I owe you nothing. Why would I pay you $100,000?""You owe me nothing?" Jordan scoffs, chuckling wryly and adding, "When the accident happened, who was the first person to start the argument? Or do you think I've forgotten that you were the one who initiated everything while your niece merely followed your lead?""Uhm," the young woman bites down on her lower lip,
A Billionaire After Divorce DECIDING HER FATE
Jordan is not surprised that the young woman shifted all the blame to Layla, making herself seem so innocent. If she could put all the blame on the taxi driver, cursing and insulting him when they were in the wrong, what is a little thing like shifting blames for her? He isn't surprised at all. The same goes for her latter statement. She thinks him so shameless and overbearing, but when Layla asked Natasha and the taxi driver to pay $200,000 just for her bumper, which they themselves destroyed, she didn't refute her. But merely stood by and watched. People like her are always so fast to look at the splinter in another's eye but not notice the beam in their own eye. Anyways, he can't afford to waste his time with her. If he said she was going to pay the $100,000, then she was going to do so! He suddenly exudes a menacing aura, asking aloofly, "So to be precise, you are trying to say that you are not going to pay the $100,000?""Yes!" Not noticing the murderous intent in Jordan's eye
A Billionaire After Divorce HER PLANS
Jordan is indifferent to Layla's emotional distress as he shifts his attention to the taxi driver and calmly instructs, "Sir, give her your account number." "Huh?" The taxi driver, puzzled by this unexpected turn of events, furrows his brow in confusion. Jordan had just asked Layla to pay him for his mental health, shouldn't he be the one giving her his account number? What does it have to do with him?"I have no need for the money," seeing through the man's thoughts, Jordan clarifies with a smile. "The money was for you all along. I don't look sick, do I?""So you...," The taxi driver chokes on his words, his eyes suddenly welling up with tears. He can't believe Jordan lied just for him. First, he had made Layla send $200,000 to Natasha, which a hundred thousand dollars was for him and now he is having Layla send him another $100,000. He is a grown-up man but he can't help feeling fuzzy inside. All his life, he has been the one taking care of himself, but in these few hours, Jordan
A Billionaire After Divorce TAKE YOUR DOG
Jordan has lived long enough and experienced numerous life-threatening situations to know when someone is looking at him with a strong desire for revenge. However, he doesn't let that bother him in any way. Layla is just a member of the Cadens of Opulence Heights, who are nothing to him and as such, her revenge scheme is nothing to his eyes. In fact, even if Layla was an angel from heaven, he wouldn't still take her seriously and as long as she comes for him alone, he might be generous to let her keep her life, but if she dares go after Natasha and the rest, he would kill her! With a cold glint in his eyes, he nonchalantly instructs Layla, "Now that you've sent the money, Miss Layla, you have to kneel and apologize to my friend. Ensure you earn her forgiveness or everything you've done will be in vain.""Ok," Layla has already decided on getting back at Jordan for everything he has done to her today so she doesn't react negatively to his instruction and merely nods. Without further
A Billionaire After Divorce PUTTING UP AN ACT
In other words, Jordan was saying that Layla's guard didn't survive the ordeal of a few minutes ago!Layla swallows hard, her eyes widening. Even though she had long come to the conclusion that the guard must have died since he never appeared before her again, it was still shocking to her to hear Jordan state the obvious. She really can't believe that it only took Jordan a mere kick to kill her guard and the most horrifying part is that Jordan had done this so effortlessly and as if he didn't even exert half of his strength!'Just how powerful is he?' She can't help wondering, her eyes squinting and her breath catching in her throat."Miss Layla, what are you doing still standing there? Don't you want to leave again?" "Of, course, I'm leaving, I'm leaving," at Jordan's abrupt question and quizzical gaze on her, Layla hastily replies and turns on her heels, darting towards her car. She doesn't even spare her aunt a glance.Seeing this, the young woman frowns, clearly displeased. "L
A Billionaire After Divorce UGLY
Edith knows the reason behind Layla's question but she still chooses to feign ignorance as she retorts, "Layla, I'm your aunt. You know me so well, when have I ever put up an act? Besides, throughout your life, I've done nothing but take care of you. How can you ask me such a hurtful question? How could I ever think of dragging you down?" She puts on an aggrieved expression, seemingly on the verge of tears.Looking at her aunt and observing her ridiculous performance, Layla can't help but snort, even chuckling wryly. Her aunt is such an amazing actress. With her acting skills, she is sure she could easily win an Oscar.It's just a pity her talents are going to waste as she might never really use them. After all, she is going to die sooner or later.She shakes her head, responding with a dismissive eye roll. "Aunt, you don't have to keep up these pretentious acts. As you said, I know you too well so you should know it would be so dumb of me to fall for those silly tricks of yours. "Y
A Billionaire After Divorce SUPERGIRL AUNT
"Hahaha," Edith, instead of exploding in anger, suddenly bursts into laughter, taking Natasha and the rest by surprise. "Layla, I know you're upset with me for drawing a clear line between us earlier, but this isn't the way to get back at me," she laughs harder whilst making her way to Layla. "All your life, you've sung praises of how beautiful I am. How can I suddenly be ugly today? Hahaha, even though you are already of age, you still don't know how to get back at someone," she drops a hand relaxedly on Layla's shoulder, patting her softly on the back while still laughing.Layla frowns. She had called her aunt ugly mainly because she expected the insult to sting, not to be brushed off so easily. "Ah!" She smacks her tongue in annoyance, shoving Edith's hand off her shoulder and retorting coolly, "You know best whether I was trying to get back at you or stating a fact. Anyway, what does it matter? You're dying soon, so whether you're beautiful or ugly, no one will care once you're
A Billionaire After Divorce TAKING HIM FOR A JOKE
"And besides, the kind sir is the one who sealed your fate," without giving her aunt a chance to respond, Layla ruthlessly continues. "Are you sure you can leave with me even if you wanted?" She grins.Edith was initially angry that Layla dared be rude to her and was about to lash out at her but on hearing Layla's question, all her anger directed at her quickly fades away and is redirected at Jordan, who has been silently observing. As her gaze drops to him, her expression darkens drastically, her fists clenching and unclenching. If not for Jordan, things wouldn't have gotten to this. She wouldn't have fallen out with her niece, to the point of her being rude to her and she wouldn't have a reason to jeer at her. 'Jordan, you caused all this!' She hisses inwardly. But outwardly, she doesn't say anything, merely glaring at him."Madam Edith, you keep staring at me. Is there something on my face?" Jordan feigns innocence, rubbing his hands over his face, adding a touch of mockery to hi

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? Is she dreaming?She pinches herself to be sure before staring back at the screen. Seeing the numbers still blatantly visible on big screen, she can't help but inhale sharply.She was not dreaming. It's actually real. Jordan really paid the bills. He actually forked out 2.4 billion! She freezes.For a while, a heavy silence hangs in the air before the room b

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
