A Billionaire After Divorce CONSEQUENCES
"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
A Billionaire After Divorce SCHEMING AGAINST THEM
Back at Crestview General Hospital...Edith has arrived in the hospital and at this moment is sitting beside Layla with a furious expression on her face.Meanwhile, the Cadens are standing with their heads lowered and their expressions full of fear. Not long ago, Layla stated that she would report them to the Patriarch of the Cadens of Opulence Heights and there wouldn't be any need for them to exist anymore if they don't seek revenge for her.Though they were dismayed that she would stoop so low as to threaten them so ruthlessly, they were nevertheless willing to seek revenge for her just to save their lives. However, things took a drastic turn when they discovered that the young man who inflicted those injuries on Layla was none other than Jordan!They didn't know if to cry or erupt in anger. Isabella, in particular, didn't know how to react. While they were still wondering what to do, Edith walked in and when she learned of Jordan's identity, she didn't take it easy and took out all
A Billionaire After Divorce WHAT DO YOU WANT?
Isabella has not seen where what Edith and Layla are asking of her has been done before. If she was still married to Jordan then that could be understandable.But she divorced him a long time ago and as such, under no circumstances should she be forced to pay for his reckless actions.Looking at the women in front of her, she can tell they are only scheming against her family. She has been wondering why the Cadens of Opulence Heights would suddenly decide to pay them a visit, but now, she understands. They clearly have an ulterior motive.She lets out a helpless sigh. Though she knows all this, in the face of the women in front of her, she can only concede. If not, the consequences might be drastic."My patience is wearing thin, Isabella, are you going to speak or do I have to force you with my fists?" Edith lets out a bark.Isabella raises her head and looks at Edith, who is staring at her menacingly. She doesn't answer her, instead shifting her focus to Layla. "Miss Layla," she say
A Billionaire After Divorce COOL, RIGHT?
"That's more like what I want to hear," Layla grins sinisterly. "Well," she tilts her head as if in thought. "That punk blew up my car, causing me to sustain these injuries. "If that wasn't enough, he also extorted four hundred thousand from us," she stares back at Isabella. "I'm not going to ask for much. Just 1.5 million.""What?! 1.5 million?" Isabella and the rest of the Cadens exclaim simultaneously."It's just 1.5 million, why are you guys shouting? I thought you are a powerful family, shouldn't a mere 1.5 million be insignificant to you?" Layla taunts.'1.5 million, insignificant?' Isabella feels like she wants to cry blood. In the past, 1.5 million might have been nothing to her but now, the family company is facing a crisis, and to overcome it, she has invested almost all her funds, including the company's capital in Starwood Apparels. At this moment, she is left with nothing more than $500,000. Even if she were to give Layla that, where would she find one million?"Miss Layl
A Billionaire After Divorce I'D RATHER DIE
Anyone who heard what Layla said without having any knowledge about Sun Glow Apparels would think she was doing the Cadens a favor, only those who truly know everything about Sun Glow Apparels would know that is far from it. Sun Glow Apparels, at its peak, boasted a net worth of over 900 million dollars, nearly reaching a billion. Even in its fallen state, if the assets were to be liquidated, the valuation should still be well over 500 million. Yet, Layla wants to have this company in exchange for 1.5 million. If that isn't daylight robbery, what is?All this while, Isabella has been containing her anger while agreeing to every ridiculous request Layla and Edith have made but at this moment, she can't help erupting in fury. She shoots Layla a menacing glare as she barks, "Miss Layla, are you trying to use the status of our company to manipulate me? What do you mean by I should hand over Sun Glow Apparels in exchange for the 1.5 million? Are you insulting me? Though the company is on
A Billionaire After Divorce HOW BIZARRE
"No, no, Madam Edith, please wait!" Before Layla can even stand up, Avery yells and dashes over to Edith. She doesn't waste a moment to kneel as she begs, "Please, Madam Edith, don't report us to the Patriarch. I apologize on Isabella's behalf."Isabella is shocked to see how easily it is for her mum to kneel and beg. She is practically cowering to Edith as if she is a god. How bizarre.Avery has always been known for her character of bullying the weak. But now, she is literally kissing Edith's ass. Isabella shakes her head. Since her mum wants to beg, she should go ahead.That can never be her."You are begging on her behalf as what?" Edith scowls, glowering at Avery. "Doesn't your daughter have her own mouth or is she feeling too proud to beg?"Avery smiles bitterly. "Madam Edith, Isabella is but a child. She doesn't know how the world works yet. Please accept my apology."Layla stands and walks to Edith. She whispers, "Aunt, Isabella might be the President of Sun Glow Apparels bu
A Billionaire After Divorce YES, DADDY
At the chairman's office, World Apparels Galaxy...Jordan sits in the Chairman's seat, oblivious to the fact that Layla and Edith had gone to the Cadens to threaten them to hand over Sun Glow Apparels to them. At this moment, he is playing a game on his phone. Since the job he was offered was a mere facade, he has nothing to do and can only play games to while away time and cure boredom.KNOCK KNOCK...There is a sudden knock at the door. Jordan raises his head slightly. It is only Arthur and Benjamin who know he is currently in the office. That means it must be one of them.He drops back his gaze to his phone, goes back to his game, and says calmly, "Come in."The door opens and Arthur walks in. "Sire," he acknowledges with a bow."Anything the matter?" Jordan asks, not bothering to glance at him."Benjamin has called Anderson to inform him of my journey tomorrow. Everything is going as planned.""Good," Jordan says. "You have a long day ahead of you tomorrow so you should go prepare

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
