A Billionaire After Divorce A BETTER OPTION
"Don't tell me you have been so easily deceived by that punk's words, Gerald," before Isabella can respond, Brian says, his face crinkling in disappointment. "As a member of the prestigious Caden family, I expected you to at least be smart enough to see through silly tricks as these but you actually fell for it.""What do you mean?" Gerald snaps, seemingly offended. "We both saw him make that wine vanish into thin air. With such magical powers, don't you think it will be possible for us to rise back to our feet?""You are so naive," Brian chuckles wryly. "Have you stopped to consider if the disappearance of the wine was just a mere coincidence?""I'm sorry, Mr. Martinez, but you actually sound dumb right now," Gerald rolls his eyes. "Alright, let's assume it was a mere coincidence, shouldn't the wine have spilled all over the place then? Did it?"And why did it have to happen the moment the wine was just about to pour on that guy? Besides, when has it ever been recorded that wind mad
A Billionaire After Divorce PLACING AN ORDER
"A better option?" Avery's eyes sparkle in excitement. "Come on, Mr. Martinez, what are you keeping the information for? Why wouldn't we be interested? Tell us already!" She urges impatiently. Brian could make Richard Moore apologize to Isabella on his knees without any care for his integrity.Between him and Jordan, she finds Brian more interesting and capable. Though she is shocked by Jordan's magic powers and feels it might really help them rise back to their feet, she is still more interested in the better option Brian just spoke of. After all, as a big shot, he'll definitely have something better than what Jordan is offering. In the face of Brian, Jordan can actually go to hell for all she cares."There's no need to hurry," Brian says with a triumphant smile and gestures ambiguously, "Let's sit down first and place our order. We will discuss while we eat. Order anything you want. Don't hold back.""Alright, Mr. Martinez," Avery naturally obliges and sits down, immediately waving
A Billionaire After Divorce ORDER YOURS
"What four of us?" Avery glares at her. "My orders are for me alone. If you want to eat, you should go ahead and order for yourself!"Isabella frowns. The orders her mum placed are over fifty. How can she finish all those dishes at a sitting? Isn't she being greedy?"Hmph!" She snorts and turns to the handsome waiter, saying solemnly, "You can ask Brian what he wants. As for me and my brother, we will eat from the orders my mum just placed. Move along now.""Hey, wait there!" Just as the waiter is about to walk over to Brian, Avery hollers, stopping him in his tracks. Simultaneously, she turns to Isabella and chides, "What is matter with you, Isabella? You're not the one footing the bill, so why won't you let me enjoy to my heart's content?"Brian also turns to Isabella and says calmly, "Miss Isabella, your mum is right, I'm footing the bills. You shouldn't worry about what she does and let her do as she pleases. Just go ahead and place your order.""No," Isabella shakes her head. "Th
A Billionaire After Divorce DEATH CITY
"Enough!" Infuriated, Brian slams his hand on the table. "Are you guys in a restaurant or a war front?" He roars, his gaze sweeping over both Isabella and Avery. "Hah!" He grits his teeth, giving them a cold warning, "If any of you say one more provocative word to the other, I'll get up and leave. That is a promise!" Brian's voice is so cold and ruthless that Avery can't help a chill running down her spine. "Uhm," she gawks at him. This is the first time he is getting angry at them. She is so terrified. And this is not just because of his anger but because of his warning. If he leaves, who would foot the bills? She quickly says calmly, "Calm down, Mr. Martinez; it hasn't gotten to that.""Hasn't it?" Not minding her identity and his pretence to be a cool-headed gentleman, Brian retorts, shooting her a cold glare. "You two are grown-ass adults, yet you bicker like kids; what the hell is wrong with you?"If anyone had addressed Avery in this manner, she would have definitely gotten a
A Billionaire After Divorce INFAMOUS MAFIA BOSS
"Unfortunately, every piece of land in Death City has already been claimed. Even if I wanted to, I can't do anything now," Brian replies with a hint of sadness in his voice.Avery's expression falls. It was a missed opportunity for profitable business. If only she could have secured even a single plot, there could have been significant financial gains. She lets out a depressing sigh."But, Brian, you mentioned that the rise of our family would be tied to the resurgence of Death City. If all the lands have already been claimed and we can't obtain any, how is the city supposed to contribute to our rise? What do you mean by that statement?""Isn't it obvious?" Brian grins, saying proudly, "While the city serves as the key element for the rise of your family, I am the catalyst. What I mean is that even though all the lands have been claimed, there's no need for you to worry because the four plots of land I purchased are not for me but your family. You can become owners of the land if you c
A Billionaire After Divorce MURDEROUS AURA
"You didn't believe it the first time when Mr. Callahan said it, would you believe it now if I said yes?" Instead of answering, Lorenzo asks back, turning to look at Daisy."Uhm," Daisy nibbles on her lower lip, not knowing what to say. Though she asked the question, she doesn't know if she would believe it even if Lorenzo said yes.Except... Her eyes sparkle. "I might not necessarily doubt it. That is if you can prove you are really the Mafia boss.""If my relationship with Mr. Callahan is not proof enough then forget about it," Lorenzo says dismissively and stops paying her any attention. He turns to Jordan and says, "My Lord, that piece of information is false. "If there were anything like that, I should have heard about it and would have probably been the one to inform you. That I didn't hear about it is a clear indication that the punk is lying.""Hmm," Jordan hums. "Do you think so as well?" He directs at Daisy."Well, we might not be the most powerful family in East Veridora bu
A Billionaire After Divorce NOT QUALIFIED
As the murderous aura envelops the room, even John standing behind Daisy can't help but take several steps backward, his back drenched in sweat. "Just a small fragment of his aura could unsettle me so much. How powerful is he?" He soliloquizes, his chest heaving up and down, and his eyes filled with fear.He is the most powerful powerhouse of the Kane family yet in the face of a youngster like Jordan, he feels like a mere ant. How surreal.He takes a deep breath to calm himself down but doesn't bother to go back to his initial position. Although he knows Jordan has no intention of harming him—given that Lorenzo and Daisy in front of him are still safe—he deems it better to stay put. He just can't stand that aura a second time."My Lord, what's the matter? Why are you suddenly exuding such a murderous aura?" John asks anxiously, his gaze lowered to the floor as he can't bring himself to stare at Jordan.Jordan disperses his aura and casually picks up his wine, taking a sip. "It's noth
A Billionaire After Divorce ACCUSED
Brian frowns. This is not looking good. Daisy is the Princess of the Kanes. Indeed, if there was any truth to what he had claimed, she's amongst the people who should know about it. Of course, she doesn't know because he has been bluffing. There is nothing like the government taking over Death city or the deaths of the inhabitants being discovered. These were all lies, carefully crafted by him. Though he managed to get his hands on four plots of land in Death city, that was all for his scheme. And there is nothing of value about the land.Turns out, this is only but a scam scheme as Jordan pointed out. There is nothing like the land appreciating, instead it would likely be depreciating. But he doesn't care as he is set on getting his hands on that 400 million.He was just about to be done. He was so close but Jordan had to interfere. Hah. He grits his teeth.It is because of what is happening now that he chose to speak in hushed tones. Little did he know that Jordan would still hea

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
