Jordan stared at Hailey's beautiful side profile, but he felt she was hideous!
"Hah, you cheated on me first, but you accuse me of cheating on you instead. Now, you even want to slap me? You're such a good wife. I've married a rare gem!"
Jordan could not be more exasperated!
To everyone's surprise, Drew snatched the giant Dragon Ruler and dashed towards Jordan.
"Dog, how dare you hit me? I'm going to destroy your face!"
Drew then tried to swing the Dragon Ruler at Jordan's face!
Jordan stood rooted to the ground without dodging. He grabbed Drew's arm with his left hand and then twisted it, causing him to slap himself with the giant Dragon Ruler instead.
Smack!
Drew was struck hard in the face by the giant Dragon Ruler in his hand.
That made his face, which was already gruesome, look even worse.
Everyone was astounded!
How dare a live-in son-in-law hit the heir of the Camdens?!
Old Mrs. Camden stood up and hollered, "Scoundrel! How dare you act like a brat and cause such a scene here!?! Do you know how many government officials there are here!?! They can arrest you now and put you behind bars!"
Jordan believed that Old Mrs. Camden's words were true. Often, the wealthy were acquainted with high-ranking government officials, such as the Camdens. They had ties with distinguished figures of power and stature.
However, Jordan looked at the guests and said, "1 think the officials should have seen clearly that Drew was the one who tried to hit me with the weapon first, and I was just defending myself."
All the guests wore ordinary clothing instead of work uniforms. However, one of them, who was tall and bespectacled suddenly spoke up.
"However, you just said you will accept the punishment according to the family law. Yet, you went back on your word when it was time to exact the punishment. Do you think that's something a man should do?"
After that person finished speaking, the crowd chimed in. It was evident that he had a high status.
Upon hearing the words of the crowd, Old Mrs. Camden smiled too.
Jordan said, "I'm willing to accept the punishment according to the Camden Family's law but only if I have done something wrong."
Old Mrs. Camden hollered, "You had an extramarital affair behind Hailey's back and even hit my grandson. Is that not enough!?"
Jordan curled his lips in disgust and said, "For the past three years, I've loved Hailey wholeheartedly, and I have
never had a change of heart!" "It was your granddaughter who cheated on me! She checked into a room with Tyler in the Splendor Hotel yesterday. You can go check!"
As soon as she said that, the hall became lively as the guests exchanged pleasantries.
"Tyler? Do you mean Tyler Collins? The scion of the Collins family?"
"I've long heard that the Camdens intend to let the scion of the Collins marry Hailey. Seems like it's true."
