A Billionaire After Divorce

WHAT HAPPENED, MR. MAGUIRE?!

Isabella's cheeks burn and her eyes dart everywhere but at the beautiful stranger, an intense wave of jealousy, greater than the last, coursing through her veins.

But why is she feeling this way? Tears sting her eyes. She lived with Jordan for three years and she really didn't see anything extraordinary about him...

So how can this stranger be claiming that he is such an amazing man that even though he doesn't have money, she is willing to still be with him? Did she really make a grave mistake by divorcing him?

"No," she says flatly to herself and shakes her head. Since this lady appears to be so into Jordan, she is probably saying all this to make her feel bad and regretful.

Hmph, Jordan is just like every other pauper out there! "I didn't make a mistake! Yes, I didn't! The divorce was the best decision! I think the best I've ever made! Yes!"

Mumbling these words of affirmation to herself, she manages to hide her jealousy, pretending to be calm, and says somewhat jeeringly, "Jordan, no matter what, you are just a pauper, a penniless man, so you shouldn't be here! This is a party for the rich folks as I said earlier! I'm so confident you shouldn't be here!"

The beautiful stranger giggles and retorts derisively with an eye roll, "Riches? You think you're rich? But the Channel dress you are decked in is not even a limited edition…”

Isabella nibbles on her lower lip, her toes curling up in her heels, fidgeting.

"When talking about riches, you ain't even worthy to talk while I'm standing here! My family controls the makeup and fashion industries in this city, and your company, Sun Glow whatever is nothing to us!" Not giving Isabella a single breather, the beautiful stranger continues.

Isabella's face darkens and her fists clench into tight balls. How dare she?! Her nose flares and she opens her mouth to snap back at the beautiful stranger...

But seemingly expecting that, the beautiful stranger waves her off and says with a shrug of her shoulder, "I'm not showing off. I was only making you feel just what Jordan felt when you were babbling about him being poor and not qualified to be here."

"Was she really that harsh to him?" Isabella feels a pang in her chest as a wave of regret shoots through her. Seems she was truly harsh on Jordan. Tears well up in her eyes.

She could still vividly recall that when she and Jordan got married, her family wasn't all that well to do and she treated Jordan right, but the moment they became rich, she started looking down on him and felt he didn't reach her current status and is not worthy of her– the same man that stood with her through thick and thin.

She lets out a despondent sigh and shakes her head. She indeed didn't try at all, but then the deed has already been done.

She looks up to push back her tears and rubs her chest to calm her nerves, forcing herself to be peaceful, and gazes at the beautiful stranger as she says, "I don't want to argue with you guys anymore, I never intended to in the first place. In case you two don't know, I came to this party today for business," she sways her gaze to Jordan, adding, "So if you are a real man, Jordan, then don't hide behind a girl!"

Jordan smirks inwardly. She claims that they might not know that she came here for business, but that could be said to be the case for the stranger girl, but not for him.

This is obviously because he knows how things work. Not long ago, he had Arthur Smith cancel the contract between World Apparels Galaxy and Sun Glow Apparels.

Since World Apparels Galaxy can be said to be Sun Glow Apparels' backbone, there was definitely no how the company would survive easily, so the moment he saw Isabella here, he already figured out that she must be here for some deal.

Perhaps, she is even here to sign a new contract with a new company that would become her company's new backbone.

He was the one who put Sun Glow Apparels in this fate, so Jordan doesn't see any need to speak and as such he keeps mute. He just can't be bothered about Isabella. She is already his past, and no matter what she does, that is where she will remain.

But seeing Jordan in silence, Isabella not knowing what's up, sneers inside. He is still that coward of earlier. She is not surprised.

BOOM!

"Hey, what is going on?"

"Do I know?"

At this moment, there is a sudden burst of confusion, people moving hither thither, and seemingly out of the blue, someone yells, “What happened, Mr. Maguire?!"
