"Yes that's me, aren't you all happy to see me." A smile appeared on Jordan's face as he looked at the shocked expression on the family's face.
"Brother!" A yell came as a figure ran towards Jordan hugging him tightly. "Amelia, how have you been?” Jordan chuckled, lightly patting the figure's head. She was the second and last child of the Garrison family and also the only one who treated Jordan well. As a result, they were very close. She was never in support of what her parents did to Jordan, but there was nothing she could do about it. "Jordan, what are you doing here?" The head of the Garrison's family, Claude, stood up looking at Jordan. "Aren't I allowed to come back?" Jordan asked with a smile. "You're a disgrace to the Garrison family, we've already expelled you and You've lost your footing here in North Hampton.” Sneered Claude. "You low life, do you even know what shame the Garrison family had to endure because of what you did!” Claude continued. "And now you dared to come back. Get the heck out of here!” "And you, get back here!" Claude continued, pointed at Amelia standing beside Jordan. "Father, you don't need to get so angry with a lowlife like him." Bryan laughed walking forward. "He must have come to beg us to give him some money, you know he has just been released from prison." He continued with a smirk. "Inside the card is one million dollars, I'll give it to you if you do just one thing." Bryan pulled out a bank card. Jordan's expression changed, but he watched the scene calmly and didn't say anything. "Bark like the dog you are, then this would be yours." Jordan just stood and didn't say anything just staring at Bryan. "Hurry up and do it, don't you need the money?" Bryan laughed. "He's so happy that he has forgotten how to Bark like the dog he is. He'll bark soon." One of the members of the family suddenly said and immediately, the others burst out into laughter. "Hurry up, the God of war is about to arrive, we can't have you spoil our image." Bryan continued looking at Jordan. "Brother, you can't say that!" Amelia cried, feeling displeased. "Shut up, what do you know!" Bryan sneered walking forward towards Jordan. "Hurry up and do it, be a good boy and bark like the Dog you are." Bryan laughed, wanting to pat Jordan's shoulder. All of a sudden his expression changed. Jordan's hand had caught him and was clamped tightly to it. It was as though an iron had caught his hands and was struggling to break free. "How dare you!" Claude flew into a rage seeing this. "Shut up!" Jordans roared. Immediately, everyone shut up as they felt a shiver run down their spine. "The Garrison family I see." Jordan began, disdain laced in his voice. "I'll be giving you a week, come and kneel before me and plead for forgiveness, otherwise I don't mind wiping you out." He continued, his voice turning even colder. "And you." Jordan turned to Bryan. "Get lost!" He sneered and raised his legs kicking the latter. The next moment, Bryan's body flew out like a broken kite hit the wall. Before anyone could understand what was going on, Jordan had already turned around and left. After a while, everyone came back to their senses. They couldn't help but shiver once again remembering how domineering Jordan was. "Humph, what a fool, did he think that the Garrison family is to be threatened." One of the family members sneered. "Hurry up and take Bryan, he's fainted. Also arrange the place, the God of war is still on his way." Claude hurriedly came back to his senses and gave out orders. The next moment, his phone rang. Picking it, his expression changed. "That bastard!" Claude yelled, throwing his phone away. "What's wrong?" The other members of the family asked, looking at Claude. "The God of war has been here, but he witnessed the Ruckus caused by that bastard and said we were not worthy so he has left," Claude replied, veins bulging out of his head. "I won't spare you, Jordan!" Claude gritted his teeth. That ill luck of a human. He was the cause of everything, there was no way he was going to let him be. -------- At the Four Seasons Hotel. "Welcome, the wedding is scheduled to start soon." An old figure smiled as she welcomed the visitor. "The Cooper family is indeed lucky, it's such a great thing you're allying with the Walkers family." One of the guests smiled walking into the Banquet. "It's our luck that the Young Master took Interest in our family." The old woman gave a faint smile as she welcomed the visitors. Inside one of the rooms, a young lady with a stunning look sat in front of the mirror staring as though she lost her soul. That was Zoey, Jordan's wife. For the past five years, she had been living as though she was a widow and was being discriminated against by everyone in the family. Tears flowed down her cheeks as she stared at the mirror. "Miss, you'll destroy the makeup if you keep crying." The make-up artist behind the lady frowned and said. The lady didn't say anything and just sniffed trying to stop the tears from flowing. She didn't want to do this, but she had been forced into it. The Young master of the Addams family was a well-known playboy and yet she was still forced to marry him. She would rather die than marry someone like him, but there was nothing she could do. "Cousin, it's time for the ceremony." A gleeful voice came as a figure walked into the room with a gloating look on her face. The lady bit her lips, having no other choice but to stand up preparing to leave the room. "Your Husband is good in bed, be sure to please him well or I'll snatch him." The figure laughed watching Zoey leave the room. "Zoey!" A soft voice called just as she walked out of the room."Jordan....." Zoey froze as she stuttered, turning around to look at the figure that just called her name.Turning around, she came face to face with Jordan, who was standing not too far away from her, a smile on his face as he stared at her."Zoey....""Jordan, I'm no longer your wife, I'm about to get married, so you should leave!" Zoey's voice suddenly turned cold, cutting Jordan off."But....""There's no but, after what you did five years ago, there's no way I'll accept someone like you." Zoey continued coldly, forcing back the tears threatening to drop from her eyes."You should know better than anyone back then that I was innocent, I wouldn't do such a thing." Jordan sighed, looking at Zoey, whose eyes were red."I...." Zoey stuttered, wanting to say something, but the tears in her eyes threatened to overflood her face.She knew well that Jordan was innocent and was just a victim of a devious plot from her family and in-laws, but there was nothing she could do about it."Jordan
"Huh!" A gasp spread amongst the crowd as Jordan and Zoey walked into the hall with Jordan holding Zoey's hands. "Who's holding the bride's hands?" "I don't know him, I've never seen him before!" "He looked wretched; how could the Clarkson Family allow someone like him into the banquet!" Voices came from all around as the guests looked at Jordan and Zoey walking up to the altar. "Sorry, everyone, but this wedding has been canceled; my wife won't be marrying some rich punk!" Jordan suddenly stopped, turned around, and announced, facing the crowd. Everyone froze hearing what Jordan said as they couldn't believe their ears. Did that man just call Zoey his wife? Was he insane? Wasn't he afraid of what the Young Master of the Winston Family was going to do? "Jordan, what do you think you're doing!" Grandmother panted as she rushed into the place. "As I've said, everyone should please take their leave after taking the food and drinks provided; the wedding has been canceled." Jorda
The banquet hall was silent, leaving only the members of the Clarkson family all staring at each other in awe, not knowing what to say.Initially, today was supposed to be a happy day for them. Zoey was getting married to Larry, and then, with Larry's help, they would be able to partner with Winston's family.From there, they would be able to move up the ranks and advance to a third-tier family, but Jordan suddenly came back and destroyed everything.Now they were at the risk of losing everything in three days if they didn't get Zoey to divorce Jordan."Zoey, what the heck were you thinking, listening to him, do you know the consequences of what you've done?" Mark bellowed, breaking the silence."Yes, what were you even thinking, you'd better hurry up and divorce that criminal." The others started to voice out, glaring at Zoey who was holding Jordan's arms."Aren't you even ashamed of staying with someone who tried to sleep with your husband, talk more or less about calling that perso
"Jordan, what do you think you're saying?" Mark was the first to recover, and immediately, he burst out into a fist of laughter. The others also burst out laughing looking at Jordan, disdain written all over their faces. "If it were not for your dishonest acts, do you think we would all be here?" Mark sneered as he stopped laughing. "Besides, if it was you in the past who said this, then I would have believed it without a doubt." "Who the hell do you think you are right now?" He continued with a sneer. "You're just a criminal, so you'd better shut the heck up and not interfere in what you're not supposed to." "I...." Jordan wanted to say something, but he felt a soft tug from Zoey and thus didn't say anything again. "Fine, I'll get the contract in three days." Zoey agreed. "I have your divorce papers ready, get ready to sign them in three days." Mark sneered. He firmly believed that there was no way Zoey was going to be able to get the contract, so he was not even thinking ab
(The Next Day) "Are you sure I'll be able to get the contract?" Zoey looked at Jordan skeptically. "You don't have to worry, dear wifey. I called the owner of Skyline Technologies last night, and he promised to take a look into your proposal and that if it's good, he'll give you a contract." Jordan smiled, reassuring his wife. "Okay." Zoey nodded, still not feeling comfortable. "Or do you want a good luck kiss?" Jordan chuckled, moving closer to her. "No, don't touch me." Zoey giggled and ran out of the house. "By the way, I'll be going out to look for a job." Jordan smiled as he said, looking at Zoey, who was preparing to go. "How about you take some rest first? You just came back, and I don't think any company would be willing to employ you." Zoey said, worry written all over her face. "You don't have to worry about matters like that, it's insignificant." Jordan smiled. "Besides, it'll be enough if I could just land the role of a security guard, so it shouldn't be too hard.
"What are you both doing here?" Mark jeered, seeing Jordan and Zoey walk into the Villa. "Did you give up so soon and want a divorce?" He continued in a mocking voice. "That would be a good thing anyway, so just come and sign the papers I have already prepared it." He then proceeded to pull out some papers like he had known that Zoey was going to come. "Sign here Zoey." Mark continued, his voice sounding rather enthusiastic as if he had just won a bet. "Hurry up and sign it so that you will be able to get yourself free of this filth." "Let me tell you, I've already asked around, there's no way any company would be willing to accept someone like him, he's nothing more than a rapist." Zoey just glanced at Mark and didn't say anything. She was more afraid that Jordan wouldn't be able to stand it. Glancing at Jordan, she saw that his expression was calm, and he didn't seem to have noticed Mark, who was spewing nonsense. This made her sigh in relief. After getting to the company th
"Mother, this calls for a Celebration." Mark grinned as he couldn't believe his eyes while going through the papers. Mabel nodded in agreement, she too was not expecting Zoey to be able to secure a contract and was surprised. "I bet it must be some kind of dumb luck." Mark grinned and stood up. He was ready to go and show off the contract. Now, the Clarkson family was going to become invincible; they were directly affiliated with a first-tier company, and this was a huge boost. As long as they maintained the contract, even a first-tier family wouldn't be willing to offend them; after all, Skyline Technologies was one of the most powerful companies in the whole of North Hampton. "Excuse me, may I come in." A deep male voice came just as Mark was about to leave. "Yes come in," Mark yelled, not caring about who might be at the door. He was very happy and thus wouldn't give a damn at the moment. The next moment, a tall lanky figure walked into the sitting room holding a briefcase w
"That bitch!" Mark cursed immediately as Benson walked out of the house. "I should have known that something was wrong, there's no way she would have the guts to go to the company if she was not in a relationship with that man." He continued. Mabel nodded and didn't say anything. She, too, also felt this way. But what happened had already happened, and there was no way around it; all they could do was to make sure that Zoey came back to sign the contract. She couldn't think of going back to call the other party and was extremely disgusted with the thought, but there was nothing she was going to be able to do about it. They couldn't afford to pay the price for breaching the contract and thus could only do what the other party wanted. "Hurry up and call Zoey," Mabel commanded. They were going to have no other choice now that Benson had said that she had to be the one who was going to sign the contract. Mark nodded and brought out his phone to call Zoey. Dialing her number, it ran
