Lily's room was dimly lit, and Lily was lying on the bed, her eyelids half-closed as she was on the brink of death.
Diana was sitting next to her while the rest of the Camdens stood at the side.
All of them were waiting for Butler Frank's answer.
They knew that Jordan was the president of Ace Corporation and the most influential figure in the business circle of Orlando. With his power and status, he could easily find out the truth.
Benedict and Sylvie were anxious and afraid that the information they found out from Benedict's friend would be fake.
"God bless us, may the information that Benedict found out be true!"
Sylvie prayed incessantly.
Buzz...
Jordan's Porsche design cell phone began to ring, and everyone held their breaths!
Jordan glanced at the phone screen, only to realize that it wasn't a call from Butler Frank but a number he didn't recognize.
"Hello," Jordan answered the phone.
The caller said, "Hello, Mr. Jordan Steele, I'm the director of the City of Orlando City Clerk's Office. My name is David Jay." "Hello, Mr. Jay," Jordan greeted politely.
In response, David said, "I regret to inform you that your previous divorce with Miss Hailey Camden wasn't recorded in the public marriage records system, and the divorce papers that you signed are invalid because they have not been filed officially."
"Therefore, you and Miss Hailey Camden are still legally married."
"Likewise, the marriage certificate that Miss Hailey Camden and Mr. Tyler Collins have received is also invalid, just like their divorce papers."
"Mr. Steele, we have identified the employee who handled your divorce application, and she is now suspended. I will make her give you a detailed explanation and an apology tomorrow morning."
"Mr. Steele and Miss Camden, if you'd like to file for divorce again, I can process it for you personally. I guarantee the same mistake won't happen again."
Jordan said indifferently, "I'll talk to you about the divorce when I have the chance another day."
Jordan felt that Hailey definitely wouldn't be willing to divorce him now.
After hanging up, Hailey asked anxiously, "Jordan, what's the outcome?"
Jordan said, "We are still legally married, and the divorce papers that we signed, as well as the certificate of your marriage to Tyler, are all null and void.".
"Yay!" Hailey leaped up excitedly in Lily's room.
All the Camdens except Elie were on cloud nine and had completely forgotten that there was an old lady on her deathbed right beside them.
"Jordan..."
At this moment, Lily called out to Jordan softly.
Jordan walked over while Lily held his hand and said, "I'm sorry... my brother..."
Jordan smiled and said, "It's okay, Grandaunt Lily. I really admire Hailey's grandfather for knowing ahead of time that the Camdens would definitely make me divorce Hailey because they're a bunch of mercenary snobs.
That's why he made those arrangements."
Jordan was definitely furious for having been deceived.
However, now that Lily was dying, Jordan couldn't say anything too harsh in front of her. Hence, he could only take the opportunity to make a sarcastic remark and take a jab at the Camdens.
Lily said, "I don't have much time left... I'll be joining my brother soon... Before I pass, I'd like to make a request to you..."
Jordan was a little melancholic because he discovered that it was getting harder and harder for Lily to breathe.
"Please."
