Isabella's face falls. Indeed, the Cadens were doing relatively well. Amongst the top five families, they were the only family with a better and solid stronghold even though they were originally not from East Veridora.

It is safe to say that though they are a small family they were the strongest amongst the top five families and if not for Arthur's decision to declare the contract null, they would have already ascended the radar to become the top 1 family, far surpassing the Maguire and the Kane families, which are but the 4th and 5th on the list.

Isabella sighs. She can't blame Arthur though. She blames herself for solely depending on him and misusing her opportunity. So many of these families have so many businesses, it gives them the gateway to survive whenever catastrophe strikes any of their companies.

She had Arthur Smith, who is an influential figure in East Veridora. If only she thought to start other companies, with his umbrella covering her, she would have successfully done

    Daisy and Jordan are not so close that Jordan would inform her that he was having lunch with Lorenzo or even tell her of his activities. Besides, even if they were close, that was naturally Jordan's choice to make. If he wished, he would tell Daisy about his activities, if he didn't, Daisy would only have to mind her business.Daisy is well aware of this and only made that statement because she found out that Isabella was dining in the same restaurant as Jordan. She was having a rest in her room earlier when she suddenly started missing Jordan. She realized she had not seen or spoken to him for a while.She tried to suppress her emotions but the more she tried the more she missed him even more. Having no other option, she summoned John and asked him to find out about Jordan's whereabouts and what he was doing at the moment. As a top family, ranking 5th on the list of the most powerful families, the Kanes have a wide connection, and as such finding Jordan's whereabouts was just a piec

    "Hahaha, that is so hilarious. Probably, the most hilarious thing I've heard in a long time," Daisy bursts into laughter, tears streaming down her cheeks. "And what's funny?" Gerald snaps, frowning.Daisy shakes her head as she says with a tinge of amusement in her voice, "Is it that you Cadens have no idea of the power and influence the Cadens of Opulence Heights wield that you will believe any Tom, Dick, or Harry can bundle two of the members of their family out of East Veridora? What makes you guys think that the Brian of a guy could bundle Edith and Layla out of East Veridora? Even my family would be scrupulous to do such a thing yet you believe that that man with no known background could do it? Are you three really this dumb or are you pretending to be?"Brian frowns, an ominous premonition rising in his heart. Daisy speaks like she knows who bundled Layla and Edith out of East Veridora. If she blows his cover, wouldn't that destroy his plan and make him seem like a joke to the

    Jordan shrugs, saying, "Even if you try to convince them, they might still not believe you and come up with silly remarks, so what's the need? "Just forget it, they can think whatever they want. In any case, they would find out if you are the real Lorenzo sooner or later."Listening to Jordan and Lorenzo's discussion, Isabella narrows her brows, anger flashing in her eyes.At this moment, she can't believe Jordan and his so-called Lorenzo Capone are still putting up with this fake charade.This gets on her nerves that she can't help but dart over to them and glare down at them, Lorenzo especially, and snaps, "Do you know you would be dead meat if news happens to get to the Mafia boss and he finds out that there is someone claiming to be him when he is not? An impostor?"Lorenzo is taken aback to see Isabella rushing over to their table just to snap at him. He opts to snap back at her but remembering her relationship with Jordan, he chooses to ignore. Once she is done talking, she wil

    When Jordan said that the man in front of him was Lorenzo, he noticed that Daisy was amongst those who doubted him and felt that Lorenzo was an impostor. It was natural for everyone else to doubt him, he couldn't care less about them. After all, since they feel he is a pauper, they can't believe anything he says.But Daisy is different. Though she fully doesn't know his identity, he has developed a better relationship with her and the Kanes and she has seen how differential her grandpa is to him, unlike the others. Considering all this, he didn't expect her to be amongst those who would doubt him.Guess he had given her more credit than she actually deserved. Now, posed with her question, he is left wondering if she couldn't believe him then, what's the guarantee that she will believe him now? Wouldn't he be wasting his time by answering?He picks up his glass of wine and takes a sip not bothering to answer her.'Is he still angry with me because of what happened between me and Nata

    Jordan's words are cold and ruthless. Daisy feels a pang in her chest, and her eyes glisten with unshed tears. "Jordan," she whispers sullenly and tries to touch him, but Jordan doesn't give her the chance. He silently waves a finger, and a sudden wave of air pushes her hand away."This," Daisy exclaims in shock, standing and wiping her tears. Her hand was just a few inches from Jordan, but a sudden force pushed it away. It's exactly similar to what happened with Lorenzo.She looks down at Jordan and grins, "So you were the one who caused the wine to disappear without touching that guy. What power is this exactly? How could you control air and so many others?""What?" "That punk is really the one who caused the wine to disappear into thin air? "So John wasn't lying?""Indeed, John wasn't lying. Though I can't say anything about what happened the first time, I saw what happened this second time. And it's unbelievable. It's like something I only witness in the movies.""Dashawn, sinc

    "Oh?" Jordan mouths, shifting his gaze to Dashawn. "What can your family offer?"Dashawn grins. It's just as he expected. Since Jordan is a pauper and heard his family is above the Xaviers he was easily enticed. "We can give you anything you want, Mr. Callahan. Just name it.""Is that so?" A mischievous glint flashes in Jordan's eyes."Yes, Mr. Callahan," however, Dashawn not able to catch onto that, readily agrees, adding smugly, "Just name your price. My family will definitely provide it for you.""Since you are offering, I won't be polite," Jordan smiles. "Go inform your Patriarch that in exchange for my magical powers, I want him to pledge his allegiance to me. From today onwards, the Johnsons will belong to me. The same goes to you," he shifts his gaze to Brielle. "And whoever else wants to acquire my powers," his gaze sweeps over the rest of the diners."Preposterous!" A diner hollers. "You want to use those insignificant magic tricks of yours to take over our families? Dream on!

    Dashawn frowns. He is the young master of the Johnsons, a family ranking third on the list of families below the top five families.He can easily crush Jordan if he wanted yet Jordan is addressing him with no ounce of respect. He glares at Jordan with the utmost desire to take out his anger on him, but remembering Jordan's magical prowess, especially how he could effortlessly make wine vanish into thin air, he forces himself to calm down. He can't afford to provoke someone with such powers lest he makes him to vanish as well.His cold gaze lingers on Jordan for a while before he drags himself away and walks back to his seat, settling down. However, he can't find it in himself to calm down. He really wants Jordan's magical powers. Not just to satisfy his fantasies but to help his family as well. With those magical powers, he is confident he can help his family rise to greater heights. All they have to do is destroy whichever family that stands in the way of their growth."Brielle Xavi

    "You?" Jordan rolls his eyes. Daisy can't possibly be serious. He already has a relationship with Greyson; if he wanted the old man to pledge allegiance to him, wouldn't he have asked that of him the very first time they met? Besides, Daisy is not the Patriarch of the Kanes, even though Greyson might not oppose her decision as he is fond of him and knows a bit of his real identity, who is she to make such decision?"What do you mean by 'you'?" Daisy frowns in annoyance. "Do you not take me seriously?"Jordan waves her off dismissively. "You should refrain from spouting such nonsense." With that, he stops paying her any attention and turns back to his table."You," Daisy glowers. "What do you..." Her words are cut short as John bends over to her level and whispers some words to her."Oh?" Her mouth pats open as realization dawns on her. She sways her gaze back to Jordan and says solemnly, "If that is the case, then I'm not interested in the magic tricks anymore."Jordan merely smiles.

    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.

    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!"

    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

    "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
