Chapter 42 A Call From Hailey!
Prestigious families had always been strict about the principle of seniority-based hierarchy within
the family.
Elie was Hailey''s younger cousin. Yet, she openly requested that Hailey ferry her around like a
chauffeur, right in front of everyone!
Elie had already begun to think of herself as the future wife of the president of Ace Corporation, so
she had already developed a sense of superiority over the rest of the Camdens.
She felt that Hailey would have to rely on her in the future.
However, Hailey had always been prideful and arrogant, so she obviously couldn''t tolerate such
humiliation!
Hailey refuted furiously, "I''m swamped! I don''t have the time to send you there!"
After saying that, she turned around and left the vi.
She then drove off in her car resentfully.
Being a poor driver, to begin with, she identally drove into a tree.
Fortunately, her car was not severely damaged since she was driving slowly, and she did not suffer
any injuries.
"Ugh, this is so infuriating and annoying!"
Hailey mmed both her hands against the steering wheel repeatedly as tears flowed freely from
her eyes non-stop.
In a fit of anger, she hurriedly whipped out her cell phone to give Jordan a call.
At this time, Jordan was still at the office, and it surprised him to see that it was a call from Hailey.
"Hello."
Jordan waved his hand at Ashley, signaling for her to leave his office, after which he answered the
call.
Hailey questioned emotionally, "Jordan, let me ask you something. Since you pretended to be the
person who gave my grandmother that bracelet for her birthday, why didn''t you keep pretending?"
"Why did you tell Uncle Herman and Elie the truth!?! Do you know how badly embarrassed you
caused me to be in front of my family?"
Jordan thought that Hailey had called to apologize to him, but he didn''t expect to be questioned
about that matter.
In fact, Jordan had never changed his statement, and he had been telling the truth all this while.
The bracelet was a gift from Jordan Steele and also a gift from the president of Ace Corporation.
Well, it was because Jordan was the president of Ace Corporation.
Jordan had clearly told the Camdens about his real identity, but they had been looking down on
Jordan and were too stuck-up to believe him.
Jordan said coldly, "I''m swamped. I don''t have the time, nor am I in the mood to care about whether
you were embarrassed or not. If there''s nothing else, I''ll hang up now."
Jordan had already divorced Hailey, so her affairs had absolutely nothing to do with him!
The only thing Jordan wanted to hear was an apology from Hailey and nothing else!Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.
"Wait a minute!" Hailey hurriedly eximed. She continued in a mellower voice, "I called you
because I need a favor from you."
"I don''t want Elie''s rtionship with your boss, Mr. Steele, to develop too well. Elie will be going to
the office building of Ace Corporation this afternoon. She''s developed a penchant for ck tea
lately, so serve her a cup of ck teaced withxatives so that she''ll get the runs."
"Alternatively, pretend to identally rip her dress when she walks past you. You''re so strong, she
won''t suspect you."
Jordan humphed coldly. "Hailey Camden, you''re too greedy. You cheated on me while we were
married, and not only have you not apologized, you''re now asking me for a favor."
"If you need a favor, go look for your lover instead of bothering me!"
After saying that, Jordan hung up the phone.
Jordan decisively refused to help Hailey.
Even if he wanted to help her, he wouldn''tce Elie''s drink withxatives or anything like that
because he didn''t intend to see her at all.
At two o''clock in the afternoon, Elie arrived at the floor that the president''s office was on in the Ace
Corporation''s building.
Due to therge size of Ace Corporation, the corporation assigned different employees to different
floors. The floor that Jordan''s office was on was considered the floor where all the core departments
were.
They stationed the offices of all the senior executives of Ace Corporation and their respective
assistants and secretaries on the same floor.
The other employees of thepany had never met Jordan before.
Hence, Elie''s efforts were futile when she asked several employees of Ace Corporation for a photo
of the president of thepany before her arrival.
"Miss Camden, you''re here."
Ashley was the first to greet Elie.
Elie shot Ashley a condescending nce, still mad at her for not serving her any tea during her visit
in the morning.
Elie said, "Take me to the meeting room."
However, Ashley refuted, "Miss Camden, I''m sorry, but you''d better take your leave."
It stunned Elie for a moment, and she asked, "Why? Is Mr. Steele going to be away all afternoon?"
Ashley shook her head and exined, "That''s not the case. Mr. Steele said that you''re too
gorgeous, and he might get distracted by your beauty and forget about work if he discusses the
contract with you."
"So, he''d like someone else from your family to meet him instead." "Someone else?" Elie was a little
dejected at first, but she was dumbstruck and pleased with his reason for refusal.
"Did Mr. Steele really...pliment my beauty? Does he... know what I look like?"
Elie blushed coyly.
Ashley nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Steele follows your ount on TikTok, and he watches your
videos all the time."
Elie was even more conceited after hearing that. ''Mr. Steele is indeed one of my admirers!''
Elie said, "Well then, I think it''s not a good idea to talk to Mr. Steele about work on our first meeting
either. I''ll have someone else from my family rece me then."
"Um, Miss Rose, please tell Mr. Steele that he may ask me out for some coffee or to the movies
whenever he''s avable."
Ashley answered, "I''ll definitely ry your message to him."
Seeing that there was quite a massive change in Ashley''s attitude towards her, Elie said, "Walk me
to the elevator."
"Yes!"
Ashley did as she was told.
Seeing that there was no one else around, Elie whisked out a wad of cash from her Louis Vuitton
embroidered purse and shoved it to Ashley.
"Send me a picture of Mr. Steele!"
