"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?" A shocked voice came, staring at Jordan in shock. "Ella, how have you been doing?" Jordan looked forward and a smile appeared on his face as he said. "I...." Ella stuttered looking at Jordan as though she had seen a ghost. "Why are you staring at me that way? Perhaps you've forgotten what you did five years ago," Jordan smirked, walking closer to Ella. "No...no don't come closer..." Ella stuttered, moving back in fear, her eyes filled with horror. "I should stay back after what you did to me five years ago?" Jordan squinted his eyes, looking at Ella. "I didn't do anything to you; you were the one who tried to take advantage of me," Ella argued weakly, moving back slowly, her face pale and her legs trembling, sweat covering her forehead. "Is that so?" Jordan frowned, looking at Ella. "Tell me exactly what happened and why you did that?" He questioned, the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a frown. "You were the one who tried to take advantage of me and you..." "If you spit one more lie, then you wouldn't know how you'll meet Hades..." Jordan cut her off, a murderous aura seeped out of his body. "I..." Ella stammered. "Speak!" Jordan roared. "It was your father and brother who came to meet me that I should help them frame you and that they would give me a sum..." Ella said hurriedly. "Zoey, you see, I told you that I was guilty." Jordan sighed, turning to look at Zoey who was staring at the whole scene. The murderous aura seeping from his body had completely disappeared. "Is that true?" Zoey finally asked after a long while staring at Ella. She had always known that Jordan was not going to do such, but there were still some doubts in her heart. "What else do you think?" Ella sneered, she had recovered from the shock. "Do you think you were the only one meant to have something good in your life?" She continued looking at Zoey. "To be frank, I was the one who brought up the idea of marrying you off Winston's family." Ella snorted coldly. Zoey froze upon hearing this. She couldn't believe her ears. She couldn't believe that Ella hated her this much. They were both families, so what had she done to receive this much of a hare from the other party? "Zoey, where are you? Everyone is waiting. What's taking you so long?" An old, but enthusiastic voice came. Soon, an old figure walked up to the scene, looking at Zoey, who was staring at Ella with red eyes. "What's taking you so long? Don't keep the young master waiting," The woman continues,d, wanting to pull Zoey. "And you, Ella, you shouldn't say hurtful words to your sister; she's getting married today; she needs to be happy." The old woman turned to Ella, reprimanding her. "Come on, Zoey, let's go; you don't need to be so emotional." She continued wanting to pull Zoey away. "Grandmother, call off the marriage, I'm not going to get married again." Zoey suddenly said, refusing to be pulled along. "Huh?" The old woman froze, then turned to look at Zoey in shock. The next moment, she exploded in rage, "What the hell are you even thinking?!" "How can this say I should cancel the marriage? Everyone is already waiting for your arrival. The Young Master of the Winston family, too, is waiting?" "What do you want me to say? Do you think this is just a simple marriage? Our family would be finished, are you even thinking about others? You unfilial Granddaughter!" Grandmother bellowed. "I..." Zoey was taken aback and stuttered, not knowing what to say. "But...." "No buts, you're going to get married to the Young master of the Winston Family whether you like it or not!" Grandmother raged. "What do you want me to say if I suddenly cancel the marriage!" She continued. "Don't worry grandmother, I'll go explain to the guests," At this moment, Jordan spoke, his voice low but sounding like Thunder in the old woman's ears. "Jordan?" Grandmother froze, turning around to see Jordan. Just now, she had not noticed him; she had been too enthusiastic about the wedding as the Young Master of the Winston Family had promised them a Cooperation. If they were able to Co-operate with such a Powerful family, at least, they would be able to move up the ranks and become a second-tier family. But who would have thought that Zoey would delay everything? To make sure that everything was right, she came to call Zoey herself, so she was in a hurry and didn't happen to see Jordan, who was by her side. "What the heck are you doing here?" Grandmother immediately flew into another fit of rage glaring at Jordan. "Get the hell out of here; no one wants to see you; besides, Zoey has divorced you. So get lost!" She roared. "Zoey, is that true?" Jordan couldn't help but glance at Zoey. "I...." Zoey stuttered, feeling exasperated as she glanced at Jordan and her grandmother. "She hasn't divorced me, so she won't be getting married to anyone, besides, I'll go explain to them. They would all understand," Jordan said, breaking the silence. "Zoey, let's go," Jordan continued, pulling Zoey away. "Where the hell do you think you are going?" Grandmother roared, her expression changed as she rushed after Jordan who was heading to the hall.

"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

"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.
Legend Of The War God You're Not Qualified To Sign It
"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

"Didn't I tell you that they'll be here soon?" Jordan looked at Zoey, a smile crept onto his face."But..."Zoey stuttered not knowing what to say. Though she didn't know why her uncle was angry, at least Jordan was right, he had come back, but what was she going to do?"Bang!"Another loud hit came from the door followed by Mark's angry roar."Zoey, I know you're in there; how dare you ignore me; get the heck out right now!"Jordan narrowed his brows and walked towards the door. He already knew what Mark wanted, but if they couldn't come and ask nicely, then there was no way he was going to allow Zoey to sign the contract."What the heck do you think you're doing?" Jordan growled immediately as he opened the door."Are you trying to pull down the door, or what the heck is wrong with that pea-sized brain of yours?""You..." Mark gritted his teeth pointing at Jordan as he descended into a rage."I didn't come here for you. Get the heck out of my way." He calmed down a bit, glared at J

Jordan smirked, staring at Azure Dragon.Azure Dragon felt his heart skip a beat seeing the smile on Jordan's face.Anytime this smile appeared, he knew nothing good was ever going to come out of it.Since they were not on the battlefield at the moment, and they didn't have any enemies surrounding them, then he knew the smile was directed at him."So, how's your girlfriend? Hope she's fine?" Jordan inquired, fascination written all over his eyes."Sir!" Azure Dragon smiled bitterly, his face red, not knowing what to say."Or do you want to deny you didn't get one yesterday?" Jordan continued to tease, the smile on his face widened with each second."Sir....""Forget it; I know you'll be too shy to accept; let's ask your girlfriend," Jordan pulled out his phone and prepared to dial a number.Seeing this, Azure Dragon wished the floor would ope
Bold Mia
Immediately, their hands landed on Mia's wrist; their expression changed as they discovered they weren't able to pull her even one inch toward themselves."You still want to take advantage of me?" Mia chuckled, still in her drunken state, waving her hands at the two."If you can't even drag me over, how can you be worthy of me," She continued, slobbering, while she struggled against the grip of the two men.The two men's expressions changed upon seeing this. Though Mia was visibly drunk and looked rather weak, they were still unable to overpower her which shocked them to the core."You bunch of trash, you need to go and train for a few more years if you want to take advantage of me," Mai slurred, staggering towards the table and grabbing another bottle of alcohol.Without a word, she opened the cork of the bottle and downed the content in one go."I don't believe we can't take advantage of you," The two men gritted their teeth and immediately stood up from where they were sitting and
Drunk Mia
Azure Dragon suddenly frowned as he was about to make a move. All of a sudden, the aura had disappeared. What the heck was this? What were the assassins planning? Was this a false alarm? Pulling out his phone, he placed a call to Mia who had gone to look for Zoey. "Don't give her the medicine, there's no need for it anymore," Azure Dragon instructed, his eyes narrowing into a thin line while he wondered what they were up to. For some reason, they had left. He still wasn't sure why they left, but he was sure that since they had decided to leave, they were not going to attack again, so there was no need to take any action. "You asked me to come back, what's wrong," Mia soon appeared, staring at Azure Dragon confusedly. "The aura of the assassins has disappeared. I don't know why they left, but I don't care, as long as they don't disturb the peace," Azure Dragon explained while Mia sat by his side, nodding gently. Since that was the case, she could enjoy the night with Azure Dragon
Possible Love Interest
“What a nice place,,” Zoey praised, her eyes darting around in awe the moment she stepped into the exterior part of the villa. The flowers around were lush giving her a deep sense of relief after the hefty work at the company.She had to admit that Alexis' family was far richer than she had expected. Though she had always known that they were rich she was not expecting them to be this rich.Chairs, tables, and other things were arranged neatly. The waiters carefully served the meal while they bowed slightly to the guests who were just arriving.“You know you really didn’t have to take the trouble to accompany me here,” Zoey turned to Mia who was standing beside her, also observing the situation.“It’s nothing, ma’am; I just wanted to freeload,” Mia shook her head, appearing rather humble.Jordan would kill her if he knew she didn’t accompany his wife to the banquet. Besides, the reason she was in North Hampton was to protect Zoey, so it would be meaningless if she didn’t come; she wou
Why Didn't You Infrom Me?
(Two Days Later)"I won't be coming back Early tonight, so there's no need for you to wait for me. You should directly go to sleep," Zoey informed Jordan who was sitting on the sofa."Why's that? Where are you headed?" Jordan frowned slightly."The Parker family will be holding a banquet tonight. Alexis has invited me. It wouldn't be nice if I didn't go," Zoey smiled sweetly,"Don't worry, I won't take too long," She added, then walked out of the door.Jordan frowned again not knowing what to say. Though about five people were protecting Zoey from the dark, including Mia, who was now her secretary, he still didn't want her to go."Forget it, she'll be fine. I'll just ask Mia to go along with her," Jordan muttered,As for the others, they would surely go, though they would have to be in disguise since Zoey mustn't know of their existence. It has been two days now, and he has yet to get any feedback from Alice.At first, he wanted to call her, but he decided against it. Alice was trust

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Jordan, I've heard a lot about you," Alexis smiled, stretching her hands for a handshake."I didn't expect to meet the genius who took the entire North Hampton by Strom five years ago here," She continued, scrutinizing Jordan as though she was trying to get information from him.But unfortunately, how could she see through Jordan? It was impossible.Also, she had her doubts. This was the same person who came to pick her up alongside a female soldier. She knew the higher-ups of Erudia wouldn't play with her safety.So she was quite confident Jordan was not an ordinary figure in the army, but what she didn't expect was that he was the same person who had shaken North Hampton five years ago.This person's achievement seemed not to be inferior to hers."You flatter me too much, miss," Jordan's soft voice came, pulling Alexis out of her thoughts."Let's get something to eat," At this point, Zoey spoke, pulling Alexis and Lilly away hurriedly, leaving Jordan all by hi

"Did you find out anything about the Winston family?" Jordan inquired, resting his back on the sofa while he went through the stack of files in his hands."No sir, I wasn't able to find anything unusual," Azure Dragon shook his head.After the incident with the Garrison family, the news spread like wildfire, but at the same time, another piece of shocking news spread.All the Winston family assets had been acquired by the Parkers somehow; the Winston family, on the other hand, disappeared mysteriously.No one knew where they went, and the head of Parker's family was not willing to say anything about it.This aroused Jordan's interest, and he asked Azure Dragon to look into it, but unfortunately, Azure Dragon was also unable to find anything."How's the president's daughter fairing?" Jordan raised his head, pushing the thoughts to the back of his mind."Well, she's been behaving well lately and hasn't given me problems," Azure Dragon nodded with a sigh."She should be going back in the
Killing Larry
"I..." Larry's expression changed as he grabbed Jordan's arms trying to free himself, but it was futile.Luke's expression changed, and he was about to step forward but was stopped by Azure Dragon, who had suddenly appeared in his front.Before he could move, he felt a cold substance press against his head and he couldn't help but swallow the invisible lump in his throat.Jacob was no different, though Azure Dragon didn't spare him a glance, nor did he look like he cared if he was to walk away, he didn't dare to move an inch and was covered with sweat.Jordan watched on coldly as Luke struggled to free himself but it was futile. If he didn't want to let go, then no one was going to save him."Thud!"All of a sudden, Jordan suddenly released Larry, causing the latter, who had already given up on his life, to gasp for breath as he landed on the floor.Luke's eyes twitched baldly seeing this, but he didn't dare to move. After all, he was sure that Azure Dragon wouldn't hesitate to send h
Bring Your Grandson Here
(The Winston Family Villa)A young man drenched in rain opened the door of the villa and rushed into the house catching the attention of the old man sitting on the sofa.Besides the old man was another figure. If one looked closer at the figure, one would realize it was the head of Parker's family."Larry, why didn't you stay out since the rain had already begun? Why do you have to come back," The other old man, who had a scar on his face, frowned slightly, seeing his grandson rush into the house in such a manner?"Sorry grandfather, but it was urgent," Larry's yell sounded as he rushed into his room.No one knew what he was going to do, but the two old men didn't seem to care; rather, the head of the Winston family turned to the head of the Parker family."I wished I had accepted the invitation to the banquet of the Harrison family. I might have been able to see the God of war," The old man, Luke lamented, regret could be felt in his voice."Yeah, I also wanted to reject the invitati
