A Billionaire After Divorce I HAVE SPOKEN!
Cornelius is silent for a moment before clearing his throat and saying, "You did well by coming to me regarding this matter. Years ago, I fought against that kid and ended up gravely injured. He was so powerful that he easily broke my meridians, undoing my years of hard work. "That's why I've secluded myself for the past decade and sat here trying to recuperate. If that kid is still alive as your words make it seem, then he must have gotten even more powerful. I'm afraid even with Mount Thunder Sect's interference, we can't do anything to him. In that regard, we can't take any actions against him.""But, father," Rutherford argues. "That kid killed so many of our relatives and destroyed some of our businesses, we bear a significant grudge against him. How can we simply stand back when the opportunity to take action against him has presented itself?""You came here seeking my counsel, correct?""Yes, father.""Then why persist in arguing? If you had it all figured out in the first plac
A Billionaire After Divorce GET LOST!
In the Cadens...After a lengthy walk that felt like an endless journey, Reginald arrives at an old house behind the Cadens Manor. He raises his voice, declaring, "Grand Patriarch, Reginald Caden, the current Patriarch, has come to see you.""Hmph! Too much blabber. What's the big deal about being a Patriarch that requires such an introduction? Anyways, you are of no use to me! Get lost!" A disgruntled voice responds from within the house and a black mist suddenly bursts out, speeding toward Reginald. The mist is so fast that though Reginald is a formidable artist himself, he couldn't notice it fast enough and before he can react, it's already too late.The mist slams squarely on his chest, sending him flying several minutes away. "Father!" he curses, standing from the ground and wiping dust off his robe. "I'm your son! Did you want to kill me?""Hmph! You're too weak. If I wanted you dead, you'd be dead already. I was only trying to make my statement sink into you. Now, what are you
A Billionaire After Divorce DEPRESSING SIGH
"Little information on what really went down ten years ago? Is there something I don't know?" Reginald muses in confusion and gazes up at his father."What do you mean by little information of what really went down years ago?"Archibald doesn't bother to answer that question. Instead, he asks, "What do you know about the incident of ten years ago?""On that unforgettable day ten years ago, the young prince barged into the Cadens Manor and began a killing spree with no just cause. Our guards were no match for him, as well as the elders. It got to the point that you had to battle him yourself but you were no match for him as well. In the end, the Callahans restrained the young prince and told us he had an energy deviation while cultivating, resulting in his craziness. But they never offered any apology nor did they try to compensate us. Not like we have would accepted any anyway." He pauses and after a while, concludes, "This is all I know.""Hmm," Archibald shakes his head. "What you
A Billionaire After Divorce WHAT DO YOU THINK?
"Alright, rise from the ground. You must have come for a reason, right? Let's talk it over glasses of wine. It's been so long I tasted wine. If there's food, I would eat as well; I've not eaten food in ten years."Archibald rises from the ground and says apologetically, "I'm afraid I have no food in my house. Just like you, I haven't eaten in ten years. But I've been drinking wine, so I have that. If you insist on eating though, we can go to the family kitchen and demand a plate or more. However, that might go against you oath not to ever appear.""Since you don't have food, then I'll just forget it. Wine would do. Let's stroll." Horace places his hand on his son's shoulder as they leave the mountain, heading back to Archibald's house.Meanwhile, after leaving his father's house, Reginald walks back to the foyer."You are back, father.""You are back, sir.""You are back, Patriarch." "Welcome back, Patriarch."At the sight of him, Milford, Edith, Layla and the rest of the Cadens say
A Billionaire After Divorce A CUNNING SON
"Hahaha, Reginald, I never thought you had such a cunning son!" A loud laughter suddenly reverberates in the foyer, and an aged man exuding a bloodthirsty aura materializes in front of Reginald."It's Mount Thunder Sect's leader!" A member of the Cadens, upon a closer look at the intruder, yells, his eyes dilating."It's really him!" The foyer instantly breaks out in a cacophony, the eyes of the members of the Caden family showing hints of fear. Though Mount Thunder Sect is not more powerful than the Cadens, they can't be underestimated, as the Sect stands above the food chain and is the number one sect in Opulence Heights.However, no one knows who would win if the Sect and the Cadens battle.There is an unwritten law that Sects can't interfere with the activities of the aristocrat families and vice versa, so there has never been any reason for them to get into conflicts, leaving the most powerful undecided. Nevertheless, the leader of Mount Thunder Sect is quite powerful. He ranks
A Billionaire After Divorce A RESTRICTING TREASURE
"Oh, I see," Ambrose says with a light chuckle and sneers. "You still don't want your son to find out you are the reason for his wife's death and your grandson, his mum's death, right? How pathetic. How long do you intend to hide it from them though? With the way things are going, sooner or later, they will still find out and will probably hate you for the rest of their lives.""You speak as if you've been bold enough to tell your son you had a hand in the death of his twin. Or have you?" Archibald scoffs.Turns out Mount Thunder Sect's Saint and Saintess are twins.Ambrose lets out a helpless sigh. "If you couldn't, how can I? He will probably hate me for the rest of his life as well when he finds out. We really made a grave mistake ten years ago. To think the matter has not been entirely resolved and the young prince can knock on our doors any day from now.""So this is why you want to kill him once and for all? So you will be free?""Indeed," Ambrose doesn't bother to hide it as he

"Very well, father. I'll go inform Reginald of our decision so he can make necessary arrangements.""Sure, go ahead," Horace waves him off dismissively, placing his hands behind his back.Archibald bows before walking away.Meanwhile, after leaving the Cadens Manor, Ambrose heads straight to the Xaviers.At this moment, in the Xaviers Manor, Rutherford is sitting in a lotus position in front of his room, his eyes shut. He appears to be in the middle of cultivation.WHOOSH!Suddenly, a gush of wind bellows, and the next second, Ambrose appears.Feeling the presence of someone, Rutherford slowly opens his eyes and stares at the visitor. His eyes show a hint of surprise as he sees who it is. But he quickly composes himself and turns away. As the Patriarch of the Xaviers, he has naturally been expecting Ambrose to pay them a visit. But he didn't expect it to be so soon."Is this how you welcome a visitor and one of my status and rank?" Ambrose asks in displeasure, seeing that he is being

"Good! Good!" Ambrose exclaims excitedly. "Now, only the Spears are left. Mr. Xavier, Cornelius, I'll take my leave now." He turns to his father. "Are you coming with me, father?""No, you should be able to handle that. Meet me back here when you've settled it. I'll catch up on some matters with Percival."Ambrose doesn't argue. He bows and vanishes."Go ahead, Cornelius, I'll have a few words with Octavius," Percival says."Alright," Cornelius nods and walks away, leaving only Octavius and Percival."So what is it you want to talk about?" Percival looks at Octavius."Didn't you ask how I became a Tradecental celestial god? I stayed back to tell you the story or don't you want to hear it anymore?""Of course, I do. Why won't I? Come on, let's go.""Mmm," Octavius hums and follows after him.After leaving the Xaviers, Ambrose doesn't directly head to the Spears as he planned but instead decides to make a stop at the Cadens. At this moment, in the Cadens foyer, Archibald is giving som

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
