It seemed that every woman he met after divorcing Hailey was very kind and understanding.
Lauren said gently, “It’s getting late. Let’s… go to bed earlier.”
“Okay.”
Jordan could tell that Lauren was shy and surprised. The first time he saw Lauren, he thought she was
an aloof and cold goddess. He had never expected that she would become so clingy after marrying him.
Soon, the lights in Jordan’s and Lauren’s room were switched off. On the other hand, the lights in Brad
and Hailey’s room remained lit.
About 40 minutes later, the light in Jordan’s and Lauren’s room came back on. On the contrary, the lights
in Brad and Hailey’s room went out at this moment.
Jordan switched on the lights, walked out of the room, and walked towards the bathroom on the second
floor of the villa to wash up.
Coincidentally, Hailey was holding her phone in her right hand and using the flashlight function of her
phone as she walked to the bathroom.
The two of them happened to bump into each other.
At this moment, it was almost midnight. Jordan looked at Hailey, who was dressed in only a pink tank top
and shorts.
He was extremely careful as if he had just done something terrible.
Jordan felt really unlucky because he didn’t expect to have run into her at such a juncture. It just so
happened that the two of them wanted to use the bathroom at this moment. As a man, he naturally
wouldn’t vie with her.
He said, “Go ahead, I’ll go downstairs to take a bath.”
After saying that, he rolled his eyes at Hailey and then got ready to leave.
“Hold it right there!”
Hailey suddenly called out to Jordan and asked, “Jordan, what’s up with that look in your eyes?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“What look?” Jordan asked.
Hailey humphed coldly and exclaimed, “You’re clearly in disdain towards me! I was married to you for
three years. Why wouldn’t I be able to tell?”
Jordan didn’t deny it. “That’s right, I really dislike you and I look down on you! I just want to throw up at
the thought of the fact that you used to be my wife and the woman I used to love the most!
“You’ve become more and more cheap and shameless. I used to treat you like the most noble and the
purest woman in the world. Even though we’ve been married for three years, you wouldn’t even let me
get intimate with you but I didn’t have any resentment towards you!
“On the contrary, that made me feel that you’re very noble, unlike other women! But what about now?
You sleep with just anyone! Now, I really feel that I was a fool in those three years!”
Hailey was infuriated to have been insulted and despised by Jordan, which made her feel terribly
ashamed!
Smack!
Hailey slapped him and exclaimed, “You’re not allowed to say that about me!”
‘Hah, you have the guts to do it but you won’t let others talk about it?’
Smack!
Jordan also slapped her back as he roared, “You have no right to hit me now! Even if you’re really
together with Brad now, I’m still your brother-in-law! Besides, he’s just toying with you and he definitely
won’t marry you!”
The slap from Jordan hurt Hailey physically, as well as her self-esteem. She glowered at him and she
said angrily, “Jordan Steele, you’re a scumbag. So you’re allowed to be with other women but you won’t
let me date another man, huh? Fine, I’ll let you embarrass yourself in front of your parents-in-law!”
After saying that, Hailey suddenly shouted in the bathroom.
“Ah! Help! Brad, come and save me! Jordan, what are you doing? Don’t touch me, let go of me! Aunt
Marissa, Uncle Stefan, quickly come save me!”
Hailey said while ripping her clothes and hair.
Jordan was shocked. ‘What is Hailey Camden trying to do!?!’
It was bright early in the morning so it was dead silent and the slightest movement could be heard very
clearly.
Besides, Hailey had just yelled so loudly.
Jordan immediately covered Hailey’s mouth and exclaimed, “Bitch, stop yelling!”
However, Hailey insisted on slandering Jordan as she bit his hand hard and continued yelling loudly.
Soon, Lauren put on her clothes and came out of the room while Brad wheeled himself out of his room in
the electric wheelchair. On the other hand, Stefan and Marissa too, quickly came down from the
bedroom on the third floor to go downstairs to check on the situation.
The four of them came to the bathroom on the 2nd floor, only to see that Jordan and Hailey were both
scantily clad.
Besides, Hailey’s hair was messy and her eyes were stained with tears, as if something had really
happened.
When Hailey saw Marissa walking over, she moved over immediately too.
“Aunt Marissa, you have to speak up for me. I just came to the bathroom and Jordan actually… tried
to…”
Brad was so furious that his face was flushed too. “Jordan Steele, you scoundrel, you’ve just married
Lauren and you’re already thinking of cheating on her? Are you human at all?!”
Jordan hated being wronged by others, especially women like Hailey, and he bellowed at Hailey again,
“Ridiculous! I feel repulsed by the mere sight of you. How can I possibly take liberties with you!?!”
However, Marissa didn’t believe Jordan.
She walked up to Jordan, raised her arm, and gave him a hard slap.
Smack!
Marissa was enraged. “Jordan! You are already married to Lauren and you should no longer have
anything to do with your ex-wife! Hailey is now your brother-in-law’s girlfriend. How can you take liberties

with her?!
“I know what it is. You must be feeling cynical about what Brad did to you in the past so you’re trying to
get back at him in the same manner, huh? You’ve already shot Brad in the leg and you want to torture
him again now, huh!?”
Jordan was speechless. “No!”
Lauren hurriedly stood in front of Jordan and said, “Mom, how can you hit someone when you haven’t
gotten to the bottom of everything? I believe Jordan isn’t such a person.”
“You…”
Marissa was just about to speak when Stefan suddenly thundered out, “That’s enough! All of you, shut
up and go back to your rooms. You’re not allowed to come out again!”
Stefan had always been gentle and refined as a father, and he rarely lost his temper.
Once they heard his words, no one dared to say anything else and went back to their rooms. When
Marissa and Stefan returned to their room on the third floor, Stefan questioned Marissa.
“Do you really believe what Hailey said? Hailey is indeed pretty and Jordan might still have lingering
feelings for her. But Jordan is a promising young man from a wealthy family and no matter how much he
likes her, he couldn’t have taken liberties with her in the bathroom of his parents-in-law’s house, right?”
Marissa humphed coldly and said, “Of course I know Hailey Camden was lying. I was just doing that on
purpose because I wanted to hit him and take it out on him for Brad!” Your son has been crippled and yet
you’re still laughing and joking all day long with the culprit who caused him to end up that way. Do you
treat Brad as your son at all? Or do you suspect that I have done something wrong to you and Brad is
not your real son?”
Stefan said helplessly, “Oh, what are you saying? Honey, Brad may have been wrong about this but just
think about how powerful the Steeles are. Fortunately, Jordan has quite a good character and he listens
to advice. If it were either of his brothers, what do you think would happen if their wives cheated on
them?”
Marissa gave it some thought and recalled how imposing Jesse was.
“Maybe… Brad would have died!”
