"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
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
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
“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
