“Divorce?” Jordan Callahan asks unbelievably as if he has heard the biggest joke of his lifetime and raises a brow.Sitting across Jordan is a woman in her mid-forties or early fifties with a haughty and disdainful look on her face.It appears as if she wants nothing more than to spit on Jordan's face and tell him just how disgustful he looks and is.This woman is Avery Caden, the mother-in-law of Jordan Callahan."Did I just hear you right, Avery?" Ignoring her haughty look cast at him, Jordan repeats, staring scrupulously at her."It's either you are deaf or you just choose to be for asking me that question when I just finished speaking! Besides, who are you to question me? And wait, did you just address me by my maiden name and without no honorifics? Have you gone nuts?"Don't you know your place anymore? And how dare a loser like you look at me that way and sound rude to me? "Have you lost your senses, or don't you know who your elder is anymore?"Anyways," she pauses and glares a
Jordan takes a deep breath and picks up the check, which is next to the divorce papers Isabella has just thrown to the table.He had been stubborn about this whole divorce saga all this time because he thought Avery was the one trying to shove it down his and Isabella's throat but never did he think Isabella would willingly agree to it.She actually even spoke like she was the one who told Avery to bring it to his notice. He can't doubt that because if it isn't the case how could she have prepared a one million check and divorce papers in advance? She actually wants to divorce him. His heart clenches and a depressing emotion surges through his veins. But not long, he curbs the feeling. There is no need to be overridden by such emotions. All these years, he had endured the insults, berations, and all and stuck with Isabella because of the grave love he had for her. But things have changed now. She has just drawn a line between them and as a respecter of gestures, he would respect her
"No, you didn't just tear the godforsaken check!" Gerald stomps his foot and yells furiously, eyes as dark as coal. He glances at the pieces of paper on the floor and feels a lump in his throat.That was some heart-wrenching funds this fool just destroyed! Gosh!"How dare you?!" He growls, quivering with overwhelming wrath. "That was one million dollars, punk! One fucking million dollars!""So what if it was one million dollars?" Jordan snorts indifferently and rolls his eyes. "Even if it was ten million dollars, I would have still ripped it to dreads since I don't need it. And what do you mean by "how dare I?" How dare I what exactly?"If I can recall correctly, the check was handed to me to do as I wished thus it is none of your business that I chose to use it by destroying it! But wait, why are you so stirred up? Didn't you come to take the check from me so I wouldn't cash it? So now that I've destroyed it, which is the same thing you want, shouldn't you be happy?""Happy my foot!"
Turns out the old man is none other than Arthur Smith, the President of World Apparels Galaxy, a new company that deals with garments, shoes, necklaces, and everything else. Just like the name implies, it is a galaxy where almost anything wearable can be found, and only if a stock is out of the market can a customer enter the Galaxy and not come out with what he or she wants.World Apparels Galaxy was founded three years ago, and in just these three years, it has managed to become one of the most affluent companies in the county, ranking second on the top ten companies list.Surprisingly, the booming of Sun Glow Apparels is related to this company because three years ago after Isabella and Jordan got married, World Apparels Galaxy offered Sun Glow Apparels a long-term contract and that push was just what Sun Glow Apparels needed to grow. This is due to the fact that the instant the contract was signed and the rumor spread like wildfire, the firms in the same line of business as Sun G
After driving for a few minutes, the Rolls Royce Phantom neatly pulls over in front of an extravagant tall building, exuding money and standard, and Arthur kills the engine. The party is held in the hall on the last floor of the building."Mmm," Jordan lets out a breath and glances at the building with no difference in his expression as if the building is nothing to him, and calmly opens his door and alights. Arthur also opens his door and alights, seemingly about to walk with Jordan into the building. After all, Jordan is his boss and it is his duty to tag along with him. It has always been that way.But that doesn't happen to be the case this time around as before he can take two more steps toward Jordan, Jordan shakes his head. "You can leave me alone now, Smith," he says calmly yet resolutely. "I don't want my identity revealed yet."He pats him on the shoulder and resumes walking, paying no attention to the luxurious cars all around him and the people in extravagant attire show
The beautiful stranger's jaw drops, her eyes widening in disbelief as if a sudden jolt of electricity had just coursed through her veins, leaving her momentarily stunned.When Jordan mocked Henry into getting furious just now, she'd assumed it was either he was stupid for doing such an outrageous thing or he didn't comprehend the kind of power Henry Maguire wields.She was still yet to figure out just what it was and now he has done far worse! He attacked Henry Maguire! Henry freaking Maguire!No, she cannot believe it. For a man with the appearance of a pauper, she never thought he could be that bold. Her heart is whacking heavily against her chest. And it is not just because Jordan turned out to be so daring, but also because he might not know what he is getting himself into. No matter what, this is Henry Maguire, and not any Tom, Dick, or Harry can afford to provoke him, let alone cause him harm.She sways her gaze to Jordan, seemingly about to talk sense into him and make him un
Isabella's cheeks burn and her eyes dart everywhere but at the beautiful stranger, an intense wave of jealousy, greater than the last, coursing through her veins.But why is she feeling this way? Tears sting her eyes. She lived with Jordan for three years and she really didn't see anything extraordinary about him...So how can this stranger be claiming that he is such an amazing man that even though he doesn't have money, she is willing to still be with him? Did she really make a grave mistake by divorcing him?"No," she says flatly to herself and shakes her head. Since this lady appears to be so into Jordan, she is probably saying all this to make her feel bad and regretful. Hmph, Jordan is just like every other pauper out there! "I didn't make a mistake! Yes, I didn't! The divorce was the best decision! I think the best I've ever made! Yes!" Mumbling these words of affirmation to herself, she manages to hide her jealousy, pretending to be calm, and says somewhat jeeringly, "Jordan,
Hearing someone mention Mr. Maguire in such a heart-wrenching yell, Isabella feels a heart-stopping adrenaline rush through her veins, all the way to her bone marrow and her mouth slightly pats open in surprise. What could have possibly happened to Mr. Maguire at this crucial moment?Her heart momentarily stops beating as she briskly makes her way to the young lady a few steps away, asking exasperatedly, "What happened to Mr. Maguire?""How can I know when I'm just coming in? Please get off my back, I hate people infiltrating my personal space," the young lady is quite rude and saucy as she snaps at Isabella with reckless abandon, even hissing thereafter and crinkling her nose as if Isabella was some piece of garbage.Isabella's eyes dim, "You b-" She is about to lash out at the young lady but for the sake of figuring out what is going on, she swallows back her words and merely glares at her before moving to the next lady close by, repeating the same question.On a natural day, Isabe
