Seeing the name Tyler again, Jordan suddenly felt like this was only yesterday!
For the past two years, after Jordan left Orlando, he had interacted with many big shots. The people who went against him had changed from small-time second-generation heirs to men like Park Chan-young, Miyamoto Masaki and Shaun.
However, when he saw the message on Hailey’s phone, Jordan still felt very angry at Tyler, this small-time heir from a second-rate family in Orlando!
Shaun looked at the contents of the surveillance screen and asked with a smile, “This Tyler is the unlucky kid who seduced your wife back then and was castrated by you, right? Hehe, Jordan, when I saw your interaction with Hailey just now, I felt that the two of you were quite sweet.
“You’re so good to Hailey. You really dote on her. She’s also quite coquettish in front of you. I can tell that you two love each other. I thought you were having a miserable time as a live-in son-in-law, being ordered around by that bad woman, Hailey. But it looks like her attitude towards you wasn’t that bad.”
Outsiders like Shaun, Geng Anli and the Rong family had all investigated Jordan’s past. They all knew that Hailey was a bad woman who had betrayed Jordan. With this first impression of Hailey, they all believed that she was a particularly bad person.
However, in reality, during the three years he lived with the Camdens, Hailey’s attitude towards him had been rather good.
After all, she was from a well-to-do family and had basic manners. She would not say anything too nasty.
On the other hand, Hailey’s parents often said nasty things to Jordan because they were his elders and did not like Jordan as their son-in-law.
Jordan and Hailey did love each other at that time.
Especially during their first year of marriage. They were tentative but sweet with each other, and Jordan missed those hazy days very much.
At that time, Hailey was still a university student. She was very innocent and had not turned bad yet. If Hailey was really a promiscuous woman with a bad attitude, how could Jordan fall for her?
By then, even if Hailey cheated on him, Jordan wouldn’t be so angry. He would not have sung that sad song after finding out that Tyler had successfully proposed to Hailey.
Jordan did not say anything to Shaun. It was all in the past. Shaun was not a friend worth sharing his feelings with.
Hailey clicked on the video chat function and called Tyler.
“Yo, their video call is starting.”
Shaun took a bag of peanuts and started snacking and drinking. As he drank, he looked at the surveillance screen with interest.
Tyler soon answered the video call.
“Babe, have you eaten?” Tyler asked in the video.
Hailey nodded. “Yes, I just ate.”
“What did you eat?”
Hailey replied, “Stir-fried shrimp with cucumber. My husband made it for me. It’s delicious and I love it, hehe.”
As Jordan watched the screen and listened to the sound from the listening device, his face was filled with anger.
Actually, Jordan remembered the conversation with Hailey in that living room and kitchen two years ago.
However, Jordan did not know about Hailey and Tyler’s video chat. He thought about how he was dutifully cleaning up after dinner, yearning for the next day when his mission would end so that he and Hailey could live a happy life.
Meanwhile, Hailey was having a flirtatious video call with another man. Jordan was so angry that he wanted to thrash someone!
Tyler replied, “Tsk, what’s the use of knowing how to cook? Your husband is only useful around the house. He can’t help you in your career! Hailey, your Landmark Realty business needs a lot of capital. Can your useless husband give it to you?”
Hailey had been very happy about showing off her husband’s culinary skills. However, the smile on her face instantly disappeared after hearing Tyler’s comments.
