Prestigious families had always been strict about the principle of seniority-based hierarchy within the family.
Elle was Hailey’s younger cousin. Yet, she openly requested that Hailey ferry her around like a chauffeur, right in front of everyone!
Elle had already begun to think of herself as the future wife of the president of Ace Corporation, so she had already developed a sense of superiority over the rest of the Camdens.
She felt that Hailey would have to rely on her in the future.
However, Hailey had always been prideful and arrogant, so she obviously couldn’t tolerate such humiliation!
Hailey refuted furiously, “I’m swamped! I don’t have the time to send you there!”
After saying that, she turned around and left the villa. She then drove off in her car resentfully.
Being a poor driver, to begin with, she accidentally drove into a tree.
Fortunately, her car was not severely damaged since she was driving slowly, and she did not suffer any injuries.
“Ugh, this is so infuriating and annoying!”
Hailey slammed both her hands against the steering wheel repeatedly as tears flowed freely from her eyes non-stop.
In a fit of anger, she hurriedly whipped out her cell phone to give Jordan a call.
At this time, Jordan was still at the office, and it surprised him to see that it was a call from Hailey.
“Hello.”
Jordan waved his hand at Ashley, signaling for her to leave his office, after which he answered the call.
Hailey questioned emotionally, “Jordan, let me ask you something. Since you pretended to be the person who gave my grandmother that bracelet for her birthday, why didn’t you keep pretending?”
“Why did you tell Uncle Herman and Elle the truth!?! Do you know how badly embarrassed you caused me to be in front of my family?”
Jordan thought that Hailey had called to apologize to him, but he didn’t expect to be questioned about that matter.
In fact, Jordan had never changed his statement, and he had been telling the truth all this while.
The bracelet was a gift from Jordan Steele and also a gift from the president of Ace Corporation.
Well, it was because Jordan was the president of Ace Corporation.
Jordan had clearly told the Camdens about his real identity, but they had been looking down on Jordan and were too stuck-up to believe him.
Jordan said coldly, “I’m swamped. I don’t have the time, nor am I in the mood to care about whether you were embarrassed or not. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now.”
Jordan had already divorced Hailey, so her affairs had absolutely nothing to do with him!
The only thing Jordan wanted to hear was an apology from Hailey and nothing else!
“Wait a minute!” Hailey hurriedly exclaimed. She continued in a mellower voice, “I called you because I need a favor from you.”
“I don’t want Elle’s relationship with your boss, Mr. Steele, to develop too well. Elle will be going to the office building of Ace Corporation this afternoon. She’s developed a penchant for black tea lately, so serve her a cup of black tea laced with laxatives so that she’ll get the runs.”
“Alternatively, pretend to accidentally rip her dress when she walks past you. You’re so strong, she won’t suspect you.”
Jordan humphed coldly. “Hailey Camden, you’re too greedy. You cheated on me while we were married, and not only have you not apologized, you’re now asking me for a favor.”
“If you need a favor, go look for your lover instead of bothering me!”
