My Wasted Husband Is in Power, Now! novel Chapter 17

Elie's attractive figure was accredited to her diet and not her genetics.

Every time he ate with Elie, Jordan realized she loved eating food that would apparently increase bust size, such as papaya.

Jordan took a look at Elie's already near-perfect figure and said, "You shouldn't need to eat any more papaya, do you?"

Elie immediately flew into a rage and stood up to walk towards Jordan. She then stood still, almost pressing her body close against Jordan.

When Jordan looked up, he felt like he was looking at mountain peaks...

Elie questioned furiously, "Jordan, what do you mean by that just now? Why don't I need to eat papaya anymore?"

Jordan was Elie's cousin-in-law and hence could not state things too explicitly.

Jordan said, "Forget it, take it that I didn't say anything. I'll bring the soup over to you. You can drink it by yourself."

However, even after Jordan took the initiative to bring the soup to Elie, the latter still wasn't appeased.

She walked over to Old Mrs. Camden's table and complained.

"Grandma, don't let Jordan stay for lunch. He didn't even prepare a birthday gift. Why should he be allowed to eat at your birthday banquet?"

"In the past three years, Uncle and Aunt have wanted to get rid of Jordan. Grandma, if you hadn't kept him around, how could he stay in our family for three years?"

"What an ingrate. We may have mistreated him, but we've at least let him stay in a luxury apartment and drive an expensive car. Yet, he didn't even prepare a gift for your 80th birthday."

Although Elie was nitpicking on Jordan, she did make some sense.

Jordan's task was to be a live-in son-in-law for three years. If he quit, he would have been considered to have failed, and his grandfather would punish him accordingly.

If not for Old Mrs. Camden's insistence on not letting Hailey divorce Jordan for three years, Jordan's mission would have failed long ago.

Besides, the Camdens had provided for Jordan for three years. Today, he was officially going to leave the Camdens. Moreover, it happened to be Old Mrs.

Camden's 80th birthday, so he ought to have brought her a gift.

Jordan thought about it, picked up his cell phone, and then called Butler Frank again.

"Hey, prepare a birthday gift on my behalf and send it to the Marriott Hotel."

After hearing his words, Elie said in disdain, "Psht, have you finally come to your senses? However, we Camdens won't accept the garbage you send!"

Drew also chimed in, "Jordan, don't be an embarrassment. Don't bring all sorts of garbage to the birthday banquet. Look at all the gifts here. Each one is worth at least 30,000 dollars."

Hailey did not want Jordan to embarrass himself and her, either. After all, they were not officially divorced yet, and he would be bringing shame to Hailey and her family.

Hailey said, "Call and return your gift. If you insist on giving Grandma a birthday gift, I'll get someone to prepare one on your behalf."

Jordan continued to eat his food and ignored the three of them.

Indeed, he did not tell Butler Frank how expensive the gift had to be.

However, he knew that the Steeles would never give any cheap gifts!
