A Billionaire After Divorce I SAID, IS THAT UNDERSTOOD?
Doctor Sean clenches his fists, the intense urge to slap back the young man rocking through his veins like a tornado, but as he gazes at the menacing sturdy figures behind him and also remembers that he doesn't yet know his real identity, he takes a deep breath to soothe his frustration and says bitterly, "I was only trying to please you. Did you really need to slap me?"The young man's demeanor shifts, and he adopts a mocking tone as he approaches Doctor Sean, who is nursing his injury. "Aww, you are hurt?" As he gets to him and takes a closer look at his bitter expression, he drawls, puckering his lips and chuckling. "Come on, don't be such a baby. It was just a mere slap. Stomach it like the man you are," he pats him on the shoulder."By the way, I don't want you to make a mistake of assuming what isn't right so let me be clear," he continues, his tone growing sinister. "I didn't slap you because of what you said. Heck, I don't even care about whatever you say because, in the end,
A Billionaire After Divorce IS THAT SO?
Doctor Sean lets out a deep sigh. He may possess the resolve to confront the young man, but the uncertainty surrounding the man's true identity holds him back. What if he challenges the man and he turns out to be someone he can't afford to provoke? It might be a thing of wonder why he can't just send for the director, after all, he is one of the top doctors and has what it takes to do so, but he is too afraid to because what if even the director can't do anything to the young man, and him, sending for him would be him putting himself in trouble? With a heavy heart, he lowers his head and, despite his strong displeasure, slowly nods. "Yes.""Good," the young man crows triumphantly, relishing in his supposed victory.The crowd's faces fall. Doctor Sean is the hospital's primary resident yet he is forced to follow the orders of an external figure. How surreal. Nevertheless, they can't even blame him. The young man exudes an aura of tyranny, to the point that even they although greatly
A Billionaire After Divorce TOO ARROGANT
BOOM!It is as if a bomb goes off as the quiet ER erupts into a frenzy of gasps, murmurs, and babblings as the crowd shares their thoughts on Jordan's audacious challenge. They can't help but deeply revel in the height of his recklessness. He is just one man yet he dared challenge that young man, who happens to have so many underlings by his side. His guts!"That lad is too arrogant. How can he put off such a challenge when he is all alone while the young man has those intimidating underlings at his beck and call? Isn't he afraid for his life?" one person comments."Young people these days are too impulsive. They all act like donkeys. It makes me wonder what the use of their head is for then since it appears they can't even use it and think. What's a few minutes of waiting that he would rather risk getting beaten up?" another person adds, shaking his head."I can't believe I initially admired his courage. Heck, it's good to be courageous, but in some situations, being courageous mak
A Billionaire After Divorce JACKSON STEELE
At Jordan's words, the ER is instantly enveloped in a deafening silence, almost as if it were a graveyard, with everyone's eyes wide as saucers. They had all anticipated Jordan to quickly apologize to the young man since it was the only way he could get out of the situation unscathed. And it had made the majority of them so happy. After all, he had helped them nonetheless, and it's only reasonable that they are relieved there is a way he could get out of the trouble helping them might have gotten him into, even if his arrogance was a major factor.But now, not only did Jordan refuse to apologize, but he had also mocked the young man's underling whilst also mocking him! They are so baffled. Like, what the hell is wrong with him? Is he out of his senses? "Asshole!" The underling, no longer able to contain his raging anger, erupts, cursing indignantly, his expression grim. "My boss offered you a chance to make amends, a lifetime opportunity, and a first of a kind, and instead of showin
A Billionaire After Divorce DOG
"What? He is the infamous Jackson Steele we've been hearing about?" The crowd gasps, their faces draining of color."Ah! It's no wonder he's so arrogant! He has what it takes to be!" Someone in the crowd mutters, shuddering."Now that young man is done for! Out of all the people he could have provoked, it has to be Mr. Jackson Steele! Mr. Jackson fucking Steele! Talk about terrible luck!""Is he really that impressive?" Jordan asks the young man, his brows slightly furrowed."Impressive? He's far more than that!" The young man practically yells at the top of his lungs, his veins pulsating. "Mr. Jackson Steele is only two levels below Mr. Vincy in Martial arts. In all of East Veridora, there are very few who can match him. "Furthermore, the Vincy Martial Arts School holds a ranking almost on par with the top five families. I'm sure you must know just how powerful the top families are. "In that case, then I guess you can figure out just how powerful the school must be for it to be alm
A Billionaire After Divorce STOP!
It's important to recall that last night when Jordan gloriously intervened to save Natasha from Ryan's evil clutches, his friend, Vincy, who happened to be the head of the Vincy Martial Arts School, arrived with a group of his students to seek revenge. However, Jordan easily defeated them all without even moving a muscle and ultimately killed Vincy.Jordan doesn't know if he should call this karma dealing with the Vincy Martial arts school or a mere coincidence because how can he explain the fact that he killed Vincy just last night and today his assistant is here looking for his trouble and displaying the same level of arrogance and lack of manners Vincy displayed."Maybe it's not karma or anything, but rather the fact that the martial artists from the Vincy Martial Arts School tend to be excessively arrogant and lack manners," he contemplates, nodding in agreement.But he doesn't blame them though. After all, he expected nothing less from people who had a teacher like Vincy. Neverth
A Billionaire After Divorce DIRECTOR BILL
This intruder is a towering figure, standing at two inches below 6 feet, with a powerful and imposing presence. His salt-and-pepper hair adds an air of authority to his distinguished appearance, and his sharp, piercing black eyes hold a commanding presence and appear heavy as if they carry the weight of the whole world. "Director Bill!""OMG, it's Director Bill!""Director Bill is here!" At a glance at the intruder, the nurses whisper among themselves, their eyes wide and their bodies unconsciously shuddering."It is the infamous Director William Bill Harrington!" Although the nurses whispered quietly, their words carry enough volume for a nearby young man to grasp and he doesn't waste a moment as he blurts out the identity of the old man to the entire room."What? That's Director Bill? But what is he doing here?""What else could have brought him here if not the dispute going on?""Ah! That young man's arrogance has finally drawn the lion out of its den!""Rumors have it that the old
A Billionaire After Divorce THE FOOLISH DIRECTOR
Jackson's words and cold demeanor send a shiver down Director Bill's spine.As the hospital's director, his responsibility is to oversee the hospital's daily operations and report to the CEO. If the hospital were to suffer damage or disruption, how could he possibly explain it to the CEO? What excuse could he offer?His face contorts with worry, large beads of sweat forming on his brow and trickling down his chin."Director Bill, you are suddenly sweating so profusely, is the air condition not to your liking? Or is anything the matter?” Jackson smiles, adopting an innocent demeanor that starkly contrasts with his earlier hostility."Um," Director Bill stammers, swallowing hard. 'Bold of you to ask me that when you are the reason I'm in this turmoil!' He practically yells in his head, but outwardly, he forces a half-hearted smile as he retorts, "Of course not, Mr. Steele, everything is perfectly fine, I just feel a little hot," he wipes off his sweat with his handkerchief. "But there

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.

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
