My Wasted Husband Is in Power, Now! novel Chapter 126

The index and middle fingers of his right hand!

Those were the fingers on Cayden's right hand that Jordan had broken!

The direct cause of the crippling of Cayden's fingers was his affair with Jordan's wife.

It seemed that Cayden intended to pay it back in his own coin.

Jordan liked that tactic!

Jordan smiled indifferently and asked, "What did Salvatore say?"

Pablo said, "Salvatore agreed to it because he was afraid that Shane Huxley would hire someone else to do it if he didn't."

"Mr. Jordan, I didn't give Salvatore any instructions because you instructed us not to do anything to the Huxleys and Collins for the time being."

"Okay."

Jordan assented. Indeed, he didn't plan to kill them just yet because he was saving that after his divorce.

Jordan hung up without saying anything else.

To his surprise, Victoria called as soon as he hung up.

Jordan was a little surprised. Ever since he reconciled with Hailey, Victoria rarely called him at such a late hour because she was a sensible woman who knew her boundaries.

"Hello." Jordan answered the phone.

Victoria spoke in an urgent tone, and she seemed to be extremely flustered. "Jordan, bad news! I heard that the Huxleys have hired a killer and are offering six million dollars to have three of your fingers chopped off!"

"Don't go out for the next two days!"

He didn't expect Victoria to be so well-informed. As expected of someone who had been carving a career in Orlando for numerous years, she had a vast network of connections to businessmen as well as gangsters.

Although the information Victoria obtained wasn't accurate enough, it was understandable.

At this moment, Hailey had just come out of the shower, clad in a bathrobe and her home slippers. Being only in the early stages of her pregnancy, her baby bump was barely noticeable, and her figure was alluring...

"Who are you speaking to over the phone?"

Hailey asked while wiping her wet hair with a towel.

"It's Victoria," Jordan answered Hailey.

Hailey flew into a rage and snapped, "Why are you talking to her at such a late hour!?! Hang up now!"

Jordan was displeased. 'So you can talk to Cayden Huxley on the phone late at night, but I can't do the same with Victoria?'

'Besides, I'm talking to Victoria about serious matters, and we've never flirted with each other.'

'What did you and Cayden Huxley talk about during your phone calls!?!'

Jordan didn't want to argue with her, so he said to

Victoria softly, "Got it, Victoria, thank you."

Jordan then hung up, feeling even more grateful to Victoria.

Victoria seemed genuinely fond of Jordan because she was so nice to him even though he was now penniless.

In the day, she had taught Tyler a lesson on Jordan's behalf, and later on, when she found out that Jordan had gotten into trouble with the law, she helped him out by using her personal connections.

Upon finding out that someone would harm Jordan, she called him immediately to give him a reminder.

At this moment, Jordan felt loved and cared for, which Hailey had never made him feel.

Perhaps, once Jordan divorced Hailey, he could choose to date Victoria.

At least, a woman like her is worthy of being entitled to a share of the Steeles' inheritance.

Hailey felt a little jealous, and she once again questioned, "What were you guys chatting about just now? How long have you been on the phone with her? That brazen hussy Victoria Clarke knows that you're married, but she still keeps flirting with you. What a cheap and shameless woman!"

Jordan explained, "Victoria called me to tell me that she heard Cayden Huxley had hired a killer to chop off my fingers for six million dollars."
