2024-09-16 10:08:27"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 about it. "Fine." Zoey gritted her teeth and pulled Jordan out of the banquet hall. ------ "What do you think you were doing back at the banquet?" Zoey glared at Jordan immediately after they stepped into the house. After leaving the banquet, she brought Jordan straight to the house where she lived. After the incident, the Clarkson family considered her a shame and took everything from her. The only thing they didn't take was her job and this was because they felt that she was useful and would help them secure more contracts. Her pay had been cut and she was barely given enough to sustain her. "What do you mean by that?" Jordan asked as he looked around the house in confusion. He had a lot of questions he wanted to ask, but he felt there was no need to ask. He was going to know after he did some investigation. "What you said at the banquet. Do you think I have a chance at getting the contract?" Zoey sighed, rolling her eyes at Jordan as she managed to fight back her tears. Jordan was someone who was just a victim of injustice and she knew about it. Besides, he was an excellent man, and she believed that if he was given the time, he was going to rise once again. Also, he was the first man she loved and most probably the last, so she was unwilling to get divorced. "Don't you believe that you could get the contract?" Jordan's voice softened as he looked at Zoey. He could read the emotions in her eyes and thus knew how she felt, so he felt rather sad. "You're intelligent, and I believe that if you put in more work, you'll be able to get the contract." He continued, his voice growing softer with each second. "Stop trying to praise me and tell me why you were so confident?" Zoey sneered, trying to hide the smile on her face. Back at the banquet, she could feel that Jordan was extremely confident and she had felt that aura from him five years ago, so she felt that he had a means. "Alright, to tell you the truth, I've not been in prison all this while." Jordan sighed. Zoey's eyes opened wide in shock hearing what Jordan said and she didn't know what to say. "After a month of getting to prison, we were taken away by the army to serve as soldiers depending on the number of years we had to spend on the battlefield." Jordan continued. "So while on the battlefield when we went on a rescue mission, I was able to rescue the son of the owner of Skyline Technologies, whose father then came to see me and promised to help me anytime I needed help." Jordan continued.. Though his words were a lie, it was not entirely that. The first half was the truth. And the last half was the truth. He had indeed saved the son of the owner of Skyline Technologies, and the other party was willing to offer up the company, but Jordan was not willing and just turned it down. After all, he too was not a poor man and, over the years, had amassed quite a number of wealth which he couldn't count. Also, he felt that the company was too small, and the owner had a whole lot of other companies, so he was not interested in taking over just a minor company. Zoey's eyes widened in shock as she looked at Jordan. She couldn't believe her ears. "After five years, we were allowed to return back and now I'm retired. I'll just have to look for a job." Jordan didn't allow Zoey's thoughts to wander and continued. "So I'll give him a call, and I'm sure that as long as your proposal is good, they would be willing to give you a contract; after all, what they need is talent." "But aren't you supposed to use that favor to get yourself back and bounce back to what you were before.." Stuttered Zoey not knowing what to say. "You think too much wifey. I'm giving up this favor for you cause I know you can do it. Also, you don't want to divorce me, right?" Jordan continued, a smirk curled up on his face. "Yes...." Zoey nodded, her heart beating heavily as she couldn't believe that Jordan was going to do so much for her. "Then you should just trust your instincts and prepare for the contract. Take it tomorrow, and I'm sure they'll be willing to review it." Jordan continued. "Yes..." Zoey nodded. "Then you should waste no time and go and prepare for the contract so you can take it tomorrow; after all, we don't know how long it would take them to review it." Jordan smiled. Zoey nodded and immediately turned around walking into the room to do as Jordan had said. Jordan had a smile on his face as he watched Zoey walk away. He had already come back and he was not going to allow anyone to bully his wife or take her away from him.

(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

"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 narrowed his eyes looking at Zoey.Though he knew that her family had taken away the company from her after the incident five years ago, he planned to help her get it back, so there was no way he was going to let her work."I don't have a job and you don't have a job. Do you want us to starve to death?" Zoey rolled her eyes at Jordan walking towards the doorShe had already thought about it the night before and had already decided that she was going to get a job.After she needed to support Jordan. Though she knew that he must have started to plan how he was going to rise once again, she knew she had to support him.She believed that since he had done it once, he would be able to do it again. Also, she was feeling a little bit guilty.Jordan sighed looking at Zoey. At first, he wanted to s

"Grandmother, I've signed it." Zoey broke the silence, calling Mabel's attention to herself.She was still a little bit shocked, though the shock didn't prevent her from signing the contract."Since you've signed it, I would take the contract to Skylines Technologies to finalize everything." Mabel offered, taking the contract from the table and standing up."But...""You don't have to worry, I'll represent you this time around." Mabel shook her head interrupting Zoey."Also, it's just past eight; I suggest you resume to the company and start working on the product you signed the contract for; I'm afraid Skyline Technologies would have zero patience to get their products," Mabel said."Yes grandmother, I'll go to the company today." Zoey agreed and stood up.After all, she was ready to go out, so there was no need for her to change. Also, just as her grandmother had said, they had to start with the production of the product right away.The company was a technological company, and they

"Mia, how have you been?" Jordan asked, his voice calm.Mia happened not to be on the battlefield when he was leaving, so he didn't mind the way she was talking.Besides, he was not too strict and they all knew that as long as they followed his rules, there was not going to be a problem."Mia, I need you to come to North Hampton." Jordan went directly to the point, not willing to waste any more time."Yes sir!" Mia answered, not daring to refute Jordan."I'll be giving you a month to round up everything and pass your tasks to someone else, as you'll be staying in North Hampton for quite a while." Jordan continued."Yes, master." Mia didn't say anything and just directly agreed with what Jordan had said.Jordan's authority in the army was absolute, and as long as he issued an order, it was to be followed; otherwise, the person was going to face the consequences.But it was rare for Jordan to give orders, so whenever he did, it was to be followed rather strictly."But master, what am I

(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
It Sure Would Be Bloody Tonight
Instantly, everyone's expression changed upon seeing this, and they looked over toward the figure who had just appeared in the room.Larry's expression changed seeing it was Jordan. Immediately, he turned around, wanting to leave, but was blocked by Azure Dragon, who had a dark expression on his face.The remaining three men didn't seem to care about this, so they continued to walk toward Zoey, who was now in Jordan's arms, giggling and rubbing his chest while trying to remove his clothes.Jordan frowned after seeing this. He could tell that she had been drugged and the amount of the drug used was not little.As for the three men, a glint flashed in his eyes seeing them move closer. Hugging Zoey who was still struggling in his hand, he moved towards the three men and punched and slapped them.Just like the first man, they were sent flying. As for whether they were dead or not, there was no doubt about it, Jordan had already sent them to Hades.They were mere mortals after all, so ther
Zoey's Predicament
(Four Seasons Hotel)"Larry, we shouldn't be doing this, it's not right," A female voice managed to say, her face red as she tried to push the man in front of her away.Looking at the figure well, one would see that it was Zoey. But at the moment, her face was red as she staggered, wanting to get out of the room but was blocked by the young man in front of her."Larry...Larry, Please don't do this," Zoey pleaded as she wanted to walk out of the room.Her face was red and she was slowly losing her senses. If she had known, she wouldn't have trusted her uncle.Mark had originally come to apologize for what he had done, saying it was just because he cared for the company and he didn't want to go bankrupt. That was why he colluded with someone to embezzle the money.At first, she was not willing to believe, but much to her shock, he returned the money, and he added five million dollars to it, making her shocked.Having no other choice, she believed him. After work, he came to her saying h

"Master, what do you plan on doing to the company?" Azure Dragon inquired as Jordan placed Amelia on the bed.Mia had driven him to the house she bought under Jordan's command. Everything needed in the house was already there.Thunder rumbled in the sky while lightning flashed. It was evident that it would rain anytime soon, but the three didn't seem to care about it.The soldiers had flattened the Garrison's family villa and had gone back under Azure's Dragon command. Jordan had finally exerted his revenge on the Garrison family. He had taken back what they took from him. At the moment, he felt as though a knot in his heart had been untied, now he was free.As for Amelia, he would make sure to take good care of her. He didn't care about what was going to become of Claude and Bryan. Judging from what he displayed tonight, those families wouldn't let them leave.They would want to curry favor with him, so there was a chance they might help him with the matter of the two."Don't change
Brother, Please Spare Them
"What do you two have to say?" Jordan's gaze turned cold as he turned to Bryan and Claude.The two men swallowed, sweat covering their faces not knowing what else to do.The one person who could save them had been scared away. What the heck were they going to do?Looking around, Claude saw Amelia sitting watching the scene with a rather confused expression. Instantly, his eyes lit up, and he rushed towards her, grabbing her leg."Amelia, please plead with your brother on our behalf; we have learned our lesson." Claude shook Amelia looking into her eyes."Yes, please, plead with Jordan for us. You're the only one who can save us right now. After all, he listens to you," Bryan nodded, staring at Amelia.If one were to take a look at the two men at that moment, they would feel a great deal of pity for them. Claude seemed to have aged a lot more. All of his hair turned white in an instant.Bryan was no better; he had already wet his pants multiple times and was stinking, but who cares?Wh
