Seeing how pitiful Hailey seemed while she was sobbing, Jordan felt rather emotional.
Jordan had treated her like a princess, served her like a queen, and protected her like a precious gem for the past three years. Hence, she had never been so aggrieved before.
If anyone dared to slap Hailey in the past, Jordan would have never spared them.
However, Jordan knew that Victoria had slapped Hailey to stand up for him.
Besides, Hailey had brought it all upon herself!
Jordan pressed his right hand on Victoria's shoulder and said, "Forget it."
Immediately afterward, he said to Hailey, "Leave, I'm not your man anymore!"
Hailey suddenly stopped crying. She had never shown her soft side to Jordan.
"Even if I no longer want a dog that I've raised for three years, I'll never give it to someone else casually!"
"Jordan Steele, I order you to leave Ace Corporation immediately and quit being Victoria Clarke's bodyguard!"
"Victoria Clarke pays you an annual salary of $30,000 a year, huh? I'll pay you $80,000!"
Hearing Hailey's words, Victoria couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Hahaha, with just $80,000, you're trying to poach Mr..." "Ahem..." Jordan immediately coughed to interrupt Victoria, who was about to habitually call him 'Mr. Steele'.
Hailey was now incredibly agitated. She had just faced the music at home and got slapped on the face by Victoria. If she were to find out Jordan's true identity, she probably wouldn't be able to withstand this series of consecutive blows.
Victoria glanced at Jordan before continuing, "Haha, you're trying to poach Jordan with just $80,000. Aren't you a little too naive? Even if you add another zero to that, it won't be enough!"
"What?"
With a look of disbelief, Hailey thought, 'Could it be that Jordan's annual salary as a bodyguard is not $80,000 but $800,000?'
'No matter how rich Victoria Clarke may be, she shouldn't be willing to spend $800,000 on a bodyguard.'
Knowing that she wasn't as wealthy as Victoria, Hailey demanded, "Jordan, you must resign from Ace Corporation today!"
"I'm telling you, Drew has already found evidence of you stealing the watch, and once we hand it over to the police, they will sentence you to prison!"
"On account that we were married, I don't want you to spend the best time of your youth behind bars!"
"If you listen to me and leave Victoria Clarke to come home with me and become my bodyguard, I can get Drew to let you off!"
Not bothered at all, Jordan retorted, "Thank you for your kind offer, but I really can't be your bodyguard. I can't bring myself to protect you while watching you get a room with another man!"
"If Drew Camden has evidence against me, he can feel free to press charges as he wishes."
After saying his piece, Jordan got into the driver's seat of the Porsche and drove off with Victoria beside him.
"Jordan, you're not allowed to leave!"
Watching Jordan leave, Hailey was so furious that she began stomping her feet.
"What an adulterous pair! Victoria Clarke can't be paying Jordan $800,000 just to be her bodyguard. She probably wants him to be her lover too!"
"Wow, Victoria Clarke, you're already dating the president of your company, but you're still hooking up with another man. Yet, you have the cheek to call me shameless. You're the shameless one!"
