Chapter 33: Hailey Camden, the Queen of Slaps!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jordan was wearing an immaculate Gucci suit with his hair combed to the side. He was now chatting merrily with Victoria.
If Jordan wasn’t her ex-husband, Hailey would have mistakenly thought that he was the domineering president of a company when she watched him stride over!
“This jerk dressed himself up so handsomely after divorcing me!”
Hailey felt a little sour. If she had known that Jordan could look so much like a domineering president of a company, she would have made Jordan wear a suit and tie all the time for the past three years.
Well, at least she could show him off and pretend a little during gatherings with her former classmates.
In the distance, Jordan said to Victoria, “Victoria, pass me the car keys. I’ll drive. Since you’re wearing heels, it won’t be convenient for you to drive.”
In fact, Victoria had a pair of flats in the car, which she would change into when she was driving.
However, she felt that changing shoes in front of Jordan wouldn’t seem very elegant, so she handed the car keys to Jordan.
“Thank you then, Mr. Steele.”
Jordan took the keys and walked towards the fiery red Porsche Panamera. To her surprise, he actually walked to the passenger side first and then opened the door.
Victoria was stunned. “You…”
Victoria was confused. ‘Didn’t Jordan say that he’d drive? So why did he open the passenger side?’
Jordan patted his head helplessly and said, “Oh shucks, I’ve gotten used to opening the car door for Hailey Camden for the past three years.”
Victoria chuckled. Only then did she realize that Jordan had taken the initiative to open the car door for her.
As Jordan’s subordinate, Victoria should be the one to open the door for him, not the other way around.
However, since he had already done it, Jordan decided to be a gentleman again. “Miss Clarke, please.”
Victoria looked flattered and said, “Oh my God, I’m so honored to have Mr. Steele personally open the car door for me.”
Jordan smiled and said, “That’s no big deal. I’ve been opening the door for Hailey Camden for three years. I would open the door for her every time she got in and out of the car.”
Victoria knew that Jordan was deeply hurt by Hailey, and hence, she said, “Hailey Camden really doesn’t know how blessed she was!”
Victoria then got inside the car.
Seeing this, Hailey dashed over in exasperation and yelled at them.
“Jordan Steele! You’re so shameless! How dare you really become Victoria Clarke’s lackey!?!”
When Hailey saw Jordan open the door for Victoria, he was even more convinced that Jordan had become Victoria’s bodyguard.
For the past three years, Jordan had only ever opened the car door for Hailey and her parents. But now, he actually opened the car door for another woman. Hailey was distraught over that!
“Hailey Camden?”
Jordan looked at his ex-wife with surprise. He thought he would become a stranger to her again from now on, but he didn’t expect to meet her again less than a day after they parted!
Victoria also hurriedly got out of the car, unsure of why she was there. If it was for the discussion of the project, they should be expecting Herman instead.
Hailey stared at Jordan and hollered, “Jordan Steele, have you got any dignity and self-respect!?! How dare you kneel down to Victoria, beg her for forgiveness, and then become her lackey!?!”
“Since you can forget your dignity, why didn’t you kneel down to me and beg me to forgive you back then? I gave you several chances. As long as you had kneeled down to beg me, you’d still be my husband now…”
As soon as Jordan thought about Hailey’s words, he flew into a rage.
“You still have the nerve to ask me why I didn’t get on my knees for you? The day before yesterday, you made me a cuckold by checking into a hotel room with Tyler Collins. Yet, you still want me to kneel down to you and beg you for forgiveness? Don’t you think that you’ve gone overboard!?!”
Hailey pursed her lips and said, “What about those few times after that incident? At Grandma’s birthday banquet yesterday, I gave you the opportunity to kneel down and beg me. As long as you kneeled then, I would have asked Grandma to let me not divorce you. You’d still be my husband now.”
“If you had kneeled down and begged me at the West Lake Hotel, I wouldn’t have called the police!”
“You’re kneeling all the same, so why did you kneel down in front of her and not me!?! I’m at least your wife. Is it shameful and embarrassing to kneel down before your wife?”
Jordan said, “It’s not embarrassing to kneel down to my wife, but it is a huge disgrace to kneel down to my cheating wife! You’ve done something to let me down, and yet, instead of kneeling and begging me for forgiveness, you asked me to kneel down and beg you instead?”
“I’ve really spoiled you rotten the past three years!”
Hailey flew into a rage too. “You spoiled me rotten? More like I spoiled you! I shouldn’t have been so nice to you and caused you to become so lawless now. Now, my family is blaming me for failing to take you in hand. If I had known, I would have made you kneel down and wash my feet every day!”
Smack!
A loud slap landed on Hailey’s delicate and pretty face.
Dumbfounded, Hailey raised her head to see that the person who slapped her was Victoria!
Unable to tolerate it any longer, Victoria snapped, “Hailey Camden! You were the one who cheated, but instead of reflecting on yourself, you said such things! As a woman, don’t you feel ashamed at all!?!”
Hailey put a hand on her pretty face and questioned furiously, “You… How dare you slap me!?”
Victoria humphed coldly and gibed, “Am I supposed to pick the right time and day to slap you?”
Victoria wasn’t scared of Hailey at all. Hailey was not comparable to Victoria due to her lack of status in the Orlando business industry as her family had no regard for her.
Hailey didn’t dare to fight Victoria because she was no match for the latter’s dominance and competence.
Looking extremely aggrieved, she questioned with tears in her eyes, “You stole my man, and now you slapped me?”
