Cayden looked at Jordan and greeted him kindly with a smile on his face.
“Jordan, it’s been a while since we met and you’re still as cool as ever. With those shades on, you look just like a celebrity. How suave.”
Cayden had leamed his lesson since the last time they met. Jordan dealt with him previously by breaking the finger he had used to touch Hailey’s thigh and causing him to lose his fertility. Even when he was far away from the United States, he had also received a random beating from Jordan.
The recollection of being attacked by Jordan previously made him wince inwardly. As the scion of the Huxleys, he had never been so terrified of someone before!
Jordan had been looking in front so he didn’t raise his head. Since Jordan was now pretending to be a blind person, he wasn’t supposed to see anything so naturally, he wouldn’t raise his head to look at the person who was talking to him.
Cocking his head instead, Jordan then turned his right ear towards Cayden and asked with some doubts, “You… Cayden Huxley?”
Cayden deliberately pretended to be surprised. “Yes, Jordan, I’m Cayden Huxley. It hasn’t been that long since we met. Surely you can still recognize me, can’t you?”
At this moment, Marissa came over and whispered to Cayden, “Jordan encountered a mishap some time ago and now he’s blind. He can’t see anything anymore.”
Cayden instantly pretended to be astounded, as if it was his first time learning that Jordan had gone blind.
“What? What kind of person would be so brazen as to harm the esteemed Mr. Jordan Steele? Who doesn’t know he is the Howards’ son-in-law!?!”
Jordan glanced at Cayden’s facial expression. Since he was wearing shades, Cayden couldn’t tell that Jordan was now looking at him.
That was also one of the reasons that Jordan insisted on wearing sunglasses. It was so that he could stare at others openly without restraint.
Based on the exaggerated expression on Cayden’s face, Jordan had already come to a conclusion.
‘Cayden Huxley is pretending to be surprised. He should have known about my blindness a long time ago. However, this does not prove that he’s the culprit who harmed me. Cayden Huxley and the guys that Marissa had chosen to marry Lauren, should all be aware of my blindness.
Since Cayden and the rest had been told that they had a chance to replace Jordan as Lauren’s husband, they should have known about Jordan’s blindness a long time ago.
In fact, Lauren also had some doubts and wondered if the person who had harmed her husband was Cayden Huxley. When she saw how sad and furious Cayden was about Jordan’s plight, she couldn’t help but question him doubtfully.
“Mr. Huxley, I remember that you and my husband are love rivals. You seem to be at odds against him but why does it seem like you’re sadder than us as if he’s your best friend?”
Cayden was taken aback as he wondered to himself, ‘Could it be that I can’t even convince a woman like Lauren with my exaggerated acting?”
Cayden hastily explained, “Miss Howard, it’s true that Jordan and I had gotten into a conflict before because of what happened to Hailey but since Hailey and I got divorced, there’s no reason for us to be enemies anymore. That’s not all. In fact, I can empathize with Jordan because we had both been hurt by
the same woman!
“We loved Hailey so much, loved her, coaxed her, made her good food and treated her like a goddess. However, once we became penniless, she resolutely decided to leave us! Ah the more I think about it, the more I regret getting into a conflict with Jordan over a woman like Hailey Camden. It isn’t worth it
