Rachel was not a significant person in Jordan's eyes.
Jordan couldn't even be bothered to know about Hailey's private life, much less her "best friend" Rachel.
Moreover, the Steele family was in danger now. Jordan was completely focused on saving the Steele family. How would he be in the mood to think about anything else?
However, Rachel's private life, or rather, the relationship between Rachel and Cory, had a very important impact on Jordan!
Seeing Jordan's serious expression, Victoria walked over and asked him, "Hubby, what's wrong?"
When Rachel and Cory divorced last year, Jordan and Victoria had asked Cory out for a meal together. Victoria also knew about Rachel and Cory.
Jordan said to Rachel, "Come with me. I have something to ask you!"
He did not want to ask Rachel in front of Cory's parents. After all, they might not know that Rachel had an affair.
Jordan was already being very considerate to Rachel.
Pulling Rachel aside, he asked her directly, "Tell me honestly, what's going on between you and Cory? Why did you bring his parents out on a holiday after the divorce?"
Rachel knew that Jordan had a high status and was not someone an ordinary person like her could afford to offend. She could only tell the truth.
"Cory and I... remarried..."
"Remarried? You two are together again?"
Jordan became very agitated when he heard that.
Jordan continued probing. "Why did Cory agree to remarry you?! Rachel, you unfaithful woman, what tricks did you use again?!"
Rachel put on an aggrieved expression. "I didn't use any tricks. We were married for three years and already developed feelings for each other. Apart from my cheating incident, we were happy for the rest of our marriage. We never quarreled."
Jordan snorted. "That's because you put on a good act! You cheated on him and you felt guilty for letting your husband down. Of course you wouldn't quarrel with him! Putting on a sweet, submissive wife act every day to make him happy and unsuspicious. Do you think that is good for him?"
It had to be said that Rachel was indeed a very smart woman, especially in her marriage. She treated her husband very well when she was not cheating on him.
Hailey was too beautiful. She had too many bootlickers around her and was very arrogant to everyone. On the other hand, Rachel was not as good-looking. She was very sensible and considerate. She knew how to make men happy and was willing to do things that arrogant women were unwilling to do.
Rachel continued in an aggrieved tone. "I really love him, and he loves me too. We were separated for a while, but we realized that we couldn't live without each other. On account of the fact that we were once acquaintances, just let us be happy together. As the saying goes, one would rather tear down 10 temples than break up a
marriage..."
Jordan cut in. "Enough. I don't want to hear this."
Jordan took out his phone. He remembered that he still had Cory's contact. After finding it, he called him directly. He wanted to hear from Cory himself about the situation.
