My Wasted Husband Is in Power, Now! novel Chapter 60

Jordan was enraged by her words.

"You're the one at fault, and you're blaming it on my poor background? Are poor people like us supposed to blame ourselves for the circumstances that we're subjected to and tolerate the betrayal of you people just because you're affluent and powerful? Does being rich give you the right to commit adultery with impunity while deriving joy from the misery of others?"

Although Jordan did not suffer from poverty, he wanted to speak up for the poor!

All humans deserve equal respect!

Hailey shook her head and said, "Will you be more realistic? Even my grandfather said that the impoverished can never nurture outstanding children!"

"I know you're good to me, and you have great qualities, but I can't see a future with you..."

While speaking, Hailey suddenly reached out to hold Jordan's hand. "Jordan, give me a few years, okay?"

This time, Jordan did not shake off Hailey's hand. Instead, he asked, "What do you mean?"

Hailey said, "In a few years, I would have inherited the Camdens' assets and given birth to Tyler's child. Let's wait until then to get back together, shall we?"

Jordan looked at Hailey in disbelief, hardly able to believe the fact that the girl whom he thought was innocent, pure and simple-minded, would have such a plan in mind!

Jordan asked in astonishment, "Are you treating me as your standby lover? Are you going to make me take you back after that bastard Tyler Collins has toyed with you for a couple of years?"

Smack!

Hailey slapped Jordan in the face because she didn't like the words 'toy with'.

Hailey said, "Wake up! Be more realistic! This is the way society is! Only the rich can marry the rich! A man like you, who comes from a poor background, only deserves leftovers! This is the world for you!"

"Stop being so arrogant and thinking you're extraordinary! It's time you change your character!"

"Think about it carefully. In three to five years, I'll have at least 150 million dollars, which is more than you will ever earn even if you work as a bodyguard for the rest of your life! Go ask around, which multimillionaire would be willing to marry an ordinary man like you!?"

"You should take my love for you as a blessing! You should be getting on your knees and thanking me for wanting to be with you even after I become a multimillionaire instead of harping on such irrelevant things!"

Hailey had given Jordan a hard slap on his face, but he didn't feel any pain at all.

Although he developed a high pain threshold after all the battles on the battlefield, the physical pain he was experiencing was nothing compared to the emotional pain he was feeling!

Jordan fell silent.

He wondered what choice he would make if he wasn't the scion of the Steeles, which was a family with a multi-billion net worth, but just an ordinary man from an ordinary family.

Out of 100 ordinary men, 99 wouldn't mind marrying a multimillionaire who had been married and is the mother of another man's child.

For them, it might really be a blessing!

Jordan sighed emotionally because he knew that Hailey loved him too.

"If it was someone else, maybe they would be grateful to you, but unfortunately, I will never let myself be a second option! Besides, you still owe me an apology for what happened previously!"

Jordan shouted.
