In the past three years, Herman would make it a point to mock Jordan whenever he met him, and he had already insulted him countless times before.
In addition, Herman had even sent some henchmen to beat up Jordan some time ago because of Drew.
The reason that Jordan chose to show up and reveal his identity at Hailey's wedding today was clearly to take revenge.
Herman wasn't close to Hailey and obviously wouldn't stay behind and incur Jordan's wrath. Hence, he chose to leave immediately.
After carrying Diana into the backseat of the Audi Q7, Herman said to his chauffeur, "Let's go to the hospital! Step on it!"
As soon as he said that, Diana suddenly wailed.
"Ah!"
Her outburst gave Herman a considerable fright, and he shuddered.
"Mom, you're okay? I was worried sick, and I thought that you had passed out because of that punk Jordan."
Herman was quite relieved.
Diana kept hitting her legs in misery.
"I've let your late father down! I'm so muddled up. I've finally understood why your father let Jordan marry into our family as a live-in husband of Hailey. I'm the one who drove him out of the family! Why am I so foolish!?!"
At this juncture, Diana finally understood why her late husband, who had always been intelligent and wise, would pick Jordan as his grandson-in-law.
It turned out that Jordan was not a fighter but the president of a major corporation! He was a tycoon!
Diana had pretended to pass out just now because she simply did not know how to face Jordan.
In the past, the Camdens had done countless things to hurt Jordan, and she couldn't bring herself to see Jordan at all!
Diana asked, "Drew seems to have found out about Jordan's identity a while ago. Why didn't that brat inform us in advance!?!"
The embarrassment showed on Herman's face as he said, "Well, Drew has been telling me about Jordan's power lately, warning me not to offend him, but I decided not to listen to him."
Diana sighed with misery. "We've missed it! The Camdens have missed such a great opportunity! Hailey didn't get pregnant with Jordan's child in those three years of their marriage! The president of Ace Corporation, whom my poor granddaughter Elie has been longing for, turns out to be Jordan! Our plan to change the fate of our family for the better by relying on Elie's husband-to-be has fallen through!"
Outside the hotel.
Elie was still in shock and couldn't calm down for a long time after learning that the "Mr. Steele," who had been the man of her dreams since forever, was actually the Jordan she knew.
She took the initiative to walk towards Jordan and asked, "Jordan, you're the president of Ace Corporation?"
Jordan looked at the astonishment on Elie's face and said with a smile, "Yes."
Elie said with a look of devotion, "I didn't expect that the person I'm in love with has actually appeared in my life long ago and has been silently staying by my side to protect me for three years..."
Jordan was speechless.
'Isn't creating TikTok videos the only thing Elie is good at? Since when has she become so poetic?'
Jordan said awkwardly, "In the past, I was your cousin-in-law. When did I become your most beloved person?"
Elie quickly denied, "No, you're not! Haven't you heard my father mention this before? Grandpa initially arranged for you to marry me! God, why are you playing tricks on us like this? You held us up for three years. For the past three years, we've seen each other every day, but little did we know..."
"Okay, enough, stop it. We'll talk about us later."
While Elie was all dramatic with her monologue, she had already reached her hand out towards Jordan.
Jordan didn't want to have much to do with Elie for the time being, and she wasn't the main character of his plan today.
In the past, Elie may have mocked and humiliated Jordan all the time but what she had done was nothing compared to what Hailey did.
While Elie was confessing her love to Jordan, Leonard and Rosie learned about the story behind this matter from Jordan.
"Oh dear, since Jordan Steele is Hailey's former husband, do you think he's here to crash the wedding?"
