Chapter 56: The Ultimate Revenge Begins
by SlivvoNews spread like wildfire—Sunny Restaurant had collapsed overnight.
Zack Smith, once Orlando’s restaurant mogul, was now a ghost of his former self.
Goldmine Karaoke Bar? Gone.
Sunny Restaurant? Sold.
For two weeks, Jordan had dominated Orlando, crushing his enemies one by one.
And yet…
The Camdens remained oblivious.
Camden Family Dinner
The Camdens sat around the dining table in Diana’s lavish villa.
Sylvie swirled her wine glass.
“Did you hear?” she said. “Zack Smith and the Goldmine Karaoke Bar fled the city last night. Just two weeks ago, they were top players, and now? Ruined.”
Elle scooped some soup.
“They must have offended some big shot.”
Herman scoffed.
“Zack actually begged me for money two days ago,” he said. “Claimed Jordan Steele was behind his downfall.”
Herman laughed mockingly.
“That good-for-nothing? Please. Jordan’s just a bodyguard. There’s no way he could take down Zack.”
Benedict nodded in agreement.
“If Jordan was capable of revenge, he would have come after us first.”
Diana, however, remained silent.
She wasn’t so sure.
Something about Jordan… didn’t add up.
She glanced at Hailey, who had been quiet all evening.
“Hailey,” Diana called. “What are you thinking about?”
Hailey snapped out of her trance, startled.
Sylvie nudged her teasingly.
“She’s probably thinking about Tyler’s proposals.”
Elle giggled.
“Tyler has proposed nine times, and she still hasn’t said yes!”
For two weeks, Tyler had been relentless—lavish proposals, extravagant gifts…
Yet, Hailey had hesitated.
Diana sighed.
“Tyler’s a fine match,” she said. “His family is stronger than ours, and he clearly adores you. Even his father called me, saying you’re making them look bad by stalling.”
Hailey took a deep breath.
“I’ll say yes tomorrow,” she said. “When he proposes for the tenth time at the superstar’s concert.”
Diana beamed.
“Wonderful! Another joyous event for the Camdens!”
She raised her glass.
“To Hailey’s future marriage!”
The family cheered, except for one person.
Drew stood abruptly.
“Uh… I have a tummy ache. You guys go ahead.”
Diana frowned.
Drew had been different lately.
He barely spoke about Hailey and Jordan anymore.
And now… he was avoiding this conversation altogether?
Diana shook her head.
Meanwhile, Drew rushed to the washroom—not to use the toilet.
But to call Jordan.
Drew’s Betrayal
Jordan answered on the first ring.
“Hello?”
Drew spoke in a low voice.
“Jordan, Hailey just said she’s accepting Tyler’s proposal tomorrow.”
Jordan was silent for a moment.
Then, his voice was calm, calculating.
“Don’t stop her.”
Drew’s eyes widened.
“Wait, what?! You’re just gonna let it happen?”
Jordan chuckled.
“Trust me. Tyler’s fate will be worse than yours.”
Drew shuddered.
Tyler had mocked Jordan, stolen his wife, and now thought he was winning.
But Jordan wasn’t finished with him yet.
This was just the beginning.
Drew hesitated.
“…Well, at least Hailey isn’t sleeping with him yet.”
Jordan sighed.
“It doesn’t matter.”
Drew snickered.
“Yeah, right. We’re both men. You care.”
Jordan smirked.
“Maybe.”
Drew grinned.
“Since we’re talking about marriage, why don’t you just marry my sister? Grandma says she has great birthing hips.”
Jordan hung up immediately.
“Get lost.”
Drew burst into laughter.
The Ultimate Setup
Jordan put down his phone, his eyes cold.
Victoria, who had been listening, raised an eyebrow.
“You’re really going to let her marry Tyler?”
Jordan smiled darkly.
“Not exactly.”
Victoria’s lips curled into a smirk.
“You’re planning to ruin her wedding day, aren’t you?”
Jordan’s eyes gleamed.
“I want Hailey Camden to stand at the altar, thinking she’s marrying the best man she could get…”
“…Only to find out she made the biggest mistake of her life.”
Victoria’s heart raced.
Jordan wasn’t just wealthy.
He was merciless.
He wanted Hailey to regret everything.
And Victoria?
She wanted to be by his side when it happened.
