Jordan frowned and asked, "What did you say? You didn't take Hailey to the hospital?"
Seeing that Jordan was questioning Rachel's words, Pablo also immediately asserted his dominance as a gang boss.
"Rachel Quinn, if you dare to lie to Mr. Jordan, the consequences are going to be serious!"
Rachel said with a look of helplessness, "I wouldn't dare to lie to you, Mr. Steele. I ended up in this situation today because I offended you."
"I would never dare to lie to you again, Mr. Steele."
Based on her micro-expressions, Jordan felt that Rachel wasn't lying.
Or rather, given her current condition, he knew that she wouldn't dare to lie.
Jordan continued to ask, "You've never been to the hospital but did you tell Hailey that I'm infertile?"
Rachel hurriedly explained, "I swear to God, I definitely did not say that about you. It was Hailey who said it."
"What did you say?" Jordan was once again surprised.
Rachel said, "At that time, she had just remarried you, and she desperately wanted to get pregnant with your child because she had betrayed you and was afraid that your family would not approve of her. She wanted her child to allow her to inherit the Steeles' assets." "However, you two had been sleeping in the same room together, and she still wasn't pregnant yet. So, she got really anxious. On several occasions, she asked me why I hadn't gotten pregnant yet, and she asked if it was because you were infertile."
"I laughed and asked her what she was being so anxious for because getting pregnant wasn't that easy. Besides, I also said that since you could defeat ten people alone, you're definitely healthy and are in excellent physical condition."
"Oh, I remember. She took the initiative to mention that you had undergone surgery and even dragged me there to take a look. However, I didn't have the time, so I didn't accompany her."
Jordan was stunned. All of a sudden, he didn't know who she should trust.
The stories said by the two women were different, but they both liked to lie.
Jordan suddenly put down the wine glass, no longer as weak and without fighting spirit as he was previously.
However, he smiled and said to Rachel tentatively, "Rachel, you really are a master of lies. You can actually lie through your teeth with a straight face. I really admire you."
Rachel said with a helpless expression, "Mr. Steele, we have known each other for not only a day or two but three years. Don't you know what kind of person I am?"
"Yes, I may be man-crazy and feel an urge to flirt with handsome men whenever I see one, but I've always been a woman of principle!" "I once accidentally slept with a young hunk and got pregnant with his child, but I resolutely decided to abort it! I can't let my husband raise someone else's child! I can't deceive him like that!"
Jordan nodded. He was very clear about this matter.
Rachel continued, "Mr. Steele, you always say that I'm not a good woman. May I ask, how have I treated you in the past three years?"
"During those three years that you had been Hailey's live-in husband, all of Hailey's friends were mocking you and sneering at you. Have I ever looked down on you before?"
Jordan stayed silent and recalled that Rachel was the nicest to him in those three years.
Hailey's other friends would ignore Jordan whenever they met him, be it in the mall or elsewhere.
Even if they knew him, they wouldn't say hi to him.
Rachel was different. She would take the initiative to greet Jordan happily all the time and treat him to meals and drinks.
Jordan had always thought that Rachel was just lusting over his good looks.
However, after he thought about it, he realized that Rachel had met and slept with many handsome men before.
Besides, he was her best friend's husband, so even if she treated him to a hundred meals, there was no way she would ever make any progress with him.
