Even after driving out from the underground parking lot of the downtown office building, he seemed to still hear the sounds of Hailey crying and complaining.
Hailey had always been a proud and arrogant person, so she obviously couldn’t stand being slapped in public.
While driving, Jordan said to Victoria, who was beside him. “Victoria, you don’t have to interfere with the affairs between Hailey and me. Don’t slap her again.”
Victoria could tell that Jordan felt some heartache for his ex-wife!
Victoria said, “Yes, Mr. Steele, but don’t you hate her for treating you that way?”
Jordan smiled and said, “Love is the opposite of hate. Without Love, how can there be hate?”
Hearing Jordan’s rather philosophical words, Victoria no longer saw him as an inexperienced young man.
Being the scion of a prestigious family, his knowledge and ideologies were not to be underestimated.
Jordan was handsome, came from a wealthy family, had a unique mindset, and was very magnanimous and doting towards women.
Victoria began to fall for him.
‘I must win his heart!’ Victoria thought to herself secretly.
Dozens of minutes later, Jordan and Victoria arrived at a place called Golden Pavilion.
It was surrounded by greenery and lakes, offering beautiful scenery. There was a half-built museum beside what appeared to be a resort.
After alighting from the car, Jordan took a look at his surroundings and said, “The Camdens are planning to build a top-class private residence here.”
The ‘top-class private residence’ was a project that the Camdens had asked the Ace Corporation to invest in. It was a private residence that was set to be meant for top-tier families.
According to the proposal that the Camdens had submitted, there would eventually be more than ten Western-style villas within the residence.
The interior was made of pinewood, with full-length glass windows that offered a stunning view of the scenery outside.
Their intention was to create the most distinctive and beautiful private residence in the city.
Victoria nodded and said, “This is the residence. This is the place with the most greenery in the city. There is an abundance of maple trees, and after moving in, the residence can have a picnic in the maple forest. There is also a natural spring here.”
“I believe that the rich people of Orlando will definitely purchase and move into the villas here. But Mr. Steele, do you really plan to invest money in their project? The Camdens had treated you too outrageously!”
Jordan smiled and said, “Actually, I was the one who came up with the concept of this project.”
“What? Does it mean that the Camdens stole your idea?” Victoria asked in astonishment.
Jordan shook his head and said, “You can’t say that. I can tell that the Camdens have always wanted to cozy up to the top families of the city, but Hailey’s grandfather has kicked the bucket. Herman and Benedict Camden are both quite incompetent too. All they do is vie for the inheritance of their family assets.”
“So, I came up with this project for the Camdens, which would allow them to control the top families without needing to increase their abilities. The idea is to just develop an estate of private residences just for those top-tier families.”
“I told Hailey about this idea, and she then told her grandmother about it. Although she accepted the idea, she let Herman Camden take over the project.”
Victoria said, “The Camdens are indeed more biased towards Herman Camden and his son. They tend to favor men over women and think that Hailey Camden isn’t fit enough to inherit the family’s empire. I do pity her for that.”
