Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
It was the 80th birthday celebration of the elderly matriarch of the Camdens. The birthday banquet
would be held at the best hotel in Ondo.-
Prior to the celebration, Old Mrs. Camden had asked everyone to gather at the vi where she
lived.
"Happy birthday, Grandma!"
"Mom, I wish you longevity and live to the age of 200!"
There was arge group of people in the vi, and they were all the children and grandchildren of
Old Mrs. Camden.
Old Mrs. Camden had two sons, the elder being Herman Camden and the younger being Benedict
Camden, who was also Hailey''s father.
Herman had a son named Drew and a daughter named Elie, both of whom were about the same
age as Hailey.
Old Mrs. Camden held the power to make decisions for the family business and had the final say on
the assets, which were worth more than one hundred million dors.
Thus, Herman and Benedict were trying their best to please Old Mrs. Camden and get into her good
books, so that they would receive a greater share of the inheritance.
Old Mrs. Camden sat in the middle of the living room on a mahogany chair worth hundreds of
thousands of dors, holding a poodle and looking at the gifts she had received from her children
and grandchildren. She nodded happily as she listened to their birthday wishes.
Suddenly, she saw a pile of poop excreted by the poodle under the chair.
"Where is that good-for-nothing son-inw?" Old Mrs. Camden asked. "Get him here to clean this
up."
The good-for-nothing son-inw who Old Mrs. Camden referred to was Jordan.
Jordan had been picking up the poodle''s feces for the past three years.
Herman looked at the room and remarked in puzzlement, "Huh? That good-for-nothing Jordan
seems to be absent."
Old Mrs. Camden got furious. "What? It''s my 80th birthday today. How dare he not show up? Hailey,
what''s going on?"
Hailey answered respectfully, "He might have gone to work..."
"Work? To deliver takeout? Hahaha, that''s hrious." Elie gibed.
Drew began mocking too, "He''s such a disgrace to the Camdens! I ran into him once when I was
driving around in my Maserati, but I didn''t even dare to tell my friends that he''s a member of our
family!"
Old Mrs. Camden''s eyes burned as she yelled, "Get him toe back here now! He doesn''t know
how to follow the basic rules at all!"
When she saw how angry her grandmother had be, she had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Grandma, he didn''te today because we''re getting a divorce."
"Divorce? Who gave you permission to get a divorce? Don''t you know that your marriage was
decided by yourte grandfather?" Old Mrs. Camden rebuked.
Hailey dared not be disrespectful and knelt down on the spot while weeping.
"Grandma, I don''t dare to go against Grandpa''s wishes, but Jordan ... he''s too much of a bully!"
Feeling a heartache when she saw Hailey bawling her eyes out, Old Mrs. Camden walked over to
help her up.
"Hailey, stop crying, you''re my granddaughter, and he''s just a live-in son-inw. Tell me how he
bullied you. I''ll teach him a lesson on your behalf!"
Hailey wiped the tears that she had forced herself to shed and then said to everyone, "Jordan has
an affair with another woman!"
"What?"
Old Mrs. Camden''s body trembled as she heard Hailey''s usation. Fortunately, Herman reacted
right away and came over to hold her.
Old Mrs. Camden blew her top. "He''s a beast! For the past three years, we let him stay in a luxury
apartment and gave him a luxury car to drive, and he didn''t even devote himself to you and stay
loyal to you. How dare he get involved in an affair!?"
Hailey chose to y the me game and falsely used Jordan of cheating on her. Thus, she was
easily able to gain Old Mrs. Camden''s trust.
The reason being Hailey knew how to hide her true colors well and had always acted like a good girl
in front of her family.
If not for the fact that he had run into her at the hotel and witnessed everything with his own eyes,
Jordan would have continued to think that Hailey was a pure and kind girl, even though she was
slightly arrogant.
Hailey''s parents, who had also been deceived by their daughter, scolded Jordan angrily.
In contrast, Herman and his children had the opposite reaction.
Elie gloated, "Hailey, aren''t you known as the number one beauty in Ondo? You''ve got a great
figure and a pretty face. Why would you be inferior to other women?"
Elie had an impressive figure. She received more than 100 million likes and more than 10 million
fans when her back was revealed in a video on a short clip-sharing tform.
Among all the hosts who chose not to reveal their faces, she was the one with the most fans.
However, her looks were average and too ordinarypared to Hailey. Thus, she always viewed
Hailey with jealousy.
Drew smiled and chimed in, "Hailey, don''t me me for criticizing you, but you have a part to me.
You refused to let him get intimate with you in the three years of your marriage. Even if you''re pretty,
it''s pointless if he can''t have you. No wonder Jordan has an affair, hahaha."
At this point, Hailey''s mother, Sylvie, stood up for her.
"Drew, that''s wrong of you. Hailey''s status is superior to Jordan''s. If she had consummated her
marriage with that good-for-nothing, wouldn''t it be an insult to her? It would mar her body too."
Drew humphed in disdain. "You guys are just thinking of keeping her chaste so that she can marry a
rich man after finding an opportunity to get rid of Jordan, aren''t you?"
Sylvie said, "You..."
"Enough, stop arguing!" Old Mrs. Camden hollered.
"Even if Hailey is like that, he has no reason to have an affair! What does he take our family for?
Get that beast toe here now. I have to punish him with the family rules!"
