My Wasted Husband Is in Power, Now! novel Chapter 88

"Mr. Jordan!"

Greyson and Butler Frank panicked when they saw Hailey splash water on Jordan's face.

As subordinates, they were to blame for failing to protect their master

Butler Frank apologized, "It's all my fault. I'm too old and powerless. Greyson can't get up either."

Jordan took a piece of tissue paper and wiped his face with it. "I'm fine. The water was lukewarm. I already expected her to do that."

The reason Jordan intentionally provoked Hailey was to make it clear she wouldn't be able to get together with him again!

After leaving The Times restaurant, Hailey called Rachel.

Rachel had just driven away a short while ago, but she returned to the restaurant again to pick Hailey up and send her to Diana's place.

When Hailey returned to Diana's villa, everyone asked her about how the date turned out.

Hailey was still hopping mad, and she told them what had just happened.

Feeling unjust for her daughter, Sylvie said, "Jordan has really gone too far. How can he set Hailey up with a cripple?"

Herman said with a derisive smile, "I think Mr. Steele's arrangement is quite good. Butler Frank has only one grandson, so he will be inheriting billions of dollars worth of assets. Hailey, you might regret turning Mr. Steele down like this."

Drew guffawed and chimed in, "Yeah, you're twice divorced, and you're still so choosy. I think Jordan made a reasonable arrangement."

Elie also seized this opportunity to mock Hailey. "Hailey, you'd better give up on Jordan. He shouldn't have been married to you in the first place. I should be his wife!"

"That's enough! Stop it!"

Diana frowned.

In the past, the distribution of the family's assets and their roles in the business used to be a point of contention between Benedict and Herman.

Now, their daughters were arguing and vying over Jordan.

Diana looked at Elie and said, "Elie, you know I have always doted on you. It's not that I don't want to let you get into a relationship with Jordan, but as you can see, Jordan has been giving you the cold shoulder both times he met you recently. He still sees you as a kid, and you definitely stand a smaller chance than Hailey."

Hailey was glad that Diana was speaking up for her.

"But Grandma, since Jordan has tried to set me up with another man, does that mean he doesn't love me anymore?" Hailey asked aggrievedly.

Diana humphed coldly. "He's been in love with you for three years. How can he stop loving you just like that? Even if he doesn't love you anymore, he may lust over your body!" "Being deprived of the chance to consummate a marriage of three years is a huge insult and regret for any man!"

"The last time you passed out while kneeling on the ground at his place, he secretly took liberties with you, and that's enough to show that he's still attracted to you!"

Sylvie could catch what Diana meant. She asked, "Do you mean we should create a chance for Hailey and Jordan to do the deed? That's a tall order. If it weren't for Lucky's injury, he wouldn't have been willing to come to our place the other day. If Hailey goes to see him again, he'll probably choose to turn her away."

Diana nodded and said, "Jordan is indeed very ruthless, but it's not like we don't stand a chance at all."

"Hailey, you still remember your grandaunt, don't you?"

Hailey nodded, "Of course I remember. Grandaunt Lily is so nice to me and Jordan. On the day that I went to the hotel with Tyler..."

At this point, Hailey paused for a moment as she felt extremely awkward. Still, she soon continued, "In the morning of that day, Jordan heard that Grandaunt Lily was severely ill and wanted to drive me to her place to see her."

Hailey's grandaunt was Lily, the younger sister of Hailey's grandfather. She had moved to a nearby city, South Daytona, after getting married.
