"What are you both doing here?" Mark jeered, seeing Jordan and Zoey walk into the Villa.
"Did you give up so soon and want a divorce?" He continued in a mocking voice. "That would be a good thing anyway, so just come and sign the papers I have already prepared it." He then proceeded to pull out some papers like he had known that Zoey was going to come. "Sign here Zoey." Mark continued, his voice sounding rather enthusiastic as if he had just won a bet. "Hurry up and sign it so that you will be able to get yourself free of this filth." "Let me tell you, I've already asked around, there's no way any company would be willing to accept someone like him, he's nothing more than a rapist." Zoey just glanced at Mark and didn't say anything. She was more afraid that Jordan wouldn't be able to stand it. Glancing at Jordan, she saw that his expression was calm, and he didn't seem to have noticed Mark, who was spewing nonsense. This made her sigh in relief. After getting to the company that morning, she was let in and then her contract proposal was given a chance. Much to her shock, they were impressed with it and immediately gave her a contract. But Zoey didn't sign her part and decided to sign it, promising to bring it back when she did sign it. But they were kind enough and said that they were going to send a representative to come pick up the contract. "Zoey, don't you dare think about changing your mind; this is the best time for you to sign the divorce papers.." Mark's voice sounded, pulling Zoey out of her thoughts. "And who said I'm here to sign the divorce papers in the first place? "Zoey retorted, rolling her eyes at Mark. "Then what have you come to do?" Make questioned, feeling rather shocked in his heart. "Grandmother, I have secured the contract." Zoey ignored Mark and turned to Mabel, who was sitting on the couch watching the scene,e, and announced. "Huh?" Everyone in the place froze hearing what Zoey said. "What do you think you're saying?" Mark was the first to recover and immediately, he burst out into a rage. "Do you think a contract with Skyline technology is something you can just secure in a day? Or do you think they would allow someone like you into their company?" He raged. "Zoey, you shouldn't play expensive jokes like that. Do you think a contract is that easy to acquire?" Mabel also berated. "You, of all people, should know how hard it is to secure a contract. Or did you think it would be nice to come play such an expensive joke here?" She continued. "Fine, since you wouldn't believe it, here's the contract clause." Zoey fumed and threw the file she held in her hands on the table. Instantly, Mark rushed forward and, with trembling hands, went through the files. Mabel also got up and began to check out the contract Zoey had dropped on the table not believing their eyes. At first, they wanted to blame her that it was fake, but after seeing the stamp of the company, they realized that it wasn't. That stamp couldn't be replicated, and even if it could be replicated, it was going to cost a lot of money, and Zoey didn't have the money to do so. After a while, Mabel and Mark finished going through the contract, then they raised their heads to look at Zoey. "Now do you believe?" Zoey sneered, feeling rather satisfied. "Mark, get a pen and sign the other half of the contract. We can't delay it any longer." Mabel ignored Zoey and turned to Mark. "I have a pen here, mother." Mark grinned, his eyes filled with greed as he prepared to sign the contract. "What do you think you're doing?" Zoey became alarmed and rushed forward wanting to stop Mark. "Zoey, do you think you're fit to sign and handle the contract?" Mabel spat, stopping Zoey. "You're married to a rapist. Haven't you had no shame?" She continued. "This is someone who tried to sleep with your cousin and yet you want me to let you handle something as important as this." Mabel paused for a while glancing at Zoey before she continued. "What do you want people to say about our family when they find out? Or do you think Skyline Technologies would give you the contract if they knew about it?" "Let me let you know. You don't have a thing to do with this contract, and it was gotten all because of sheer luck. Besides, you can't handle the contract, so it would be best if you just shut your mouth and let your Uncle take over it." "But...." "If you try to argue, then you are going to lose your job at the company, and I'll see how you'll survive with that Criminal you call a husband." Zoey's eyes became red and were filled with tears. She wanted to say something, but she didn't dare. The contract was something that Jordan used his favor which could have been a hundred times useful to him to get, and yet she had lost it in the blink of an eye. She didn't know where to start and thus, she didn't dare to say a word. "Don't think it's anything special that you were able to get the contract." Mark taunted with a satisfying smirk on his face. "The contract is something that I can also acquire, besides, it's your blessings that I'm going to handle." He continued. "Mother, we should have a banquet to celebrate the contract. Let all those families know that we have a connection with Skyline Technologies and they can't bully us any longer." Mark laughed and Mabel nodded her head in agreement. "Jordan let's go." Zoey turned to Jordan and said while trying her best to hold back the tears, not daring to look at Jordan as she was sure that he must be very disappointed. "Sure," Jordan muttered and turned around to leave, his voice calm. Zoey felt a shiver down her spine and the tears she had been holding back fell freely. She was right; Jordan was disappointed in her; after all, the favor could have been more beneficial to him.

Last In The World
(The Next Day)"Master," Azure Dragon's figure flashed, appearing beside Jordan, who was staring at the building before him."What's it Jasper," Jordan responded, not turning around to look at Azure Dragon who was standing beside him."I think the Brown family and the Harrison Family didn't listen to your warning," Azure Dragon beamed as he reported, feeling elated.This was one of the few times Jordan had actually called his real name. Most of the people who knew him didn't know his name. Even the five regiment commanders could barely remember.They were all used to addressing him as Azure Dragon. Though he didn't mind, he was always happy if by chance Jordan addressed him that way and he did today."I knew they were not going to listen to me," Jordan chuckled, pulling Azure Dragon out of his thoughts."But....""I didn't want those old men to accuse me of wiping out a whole family just because they attacked me, so I thought of warning them first," Jordan continued with a chuckle."N
Severe Warning
"And you are?" Bruce frowned, stepping forward, his brows narrowing into a thin line. The guards at the moment also spread out, surrounding Jordan and Azure Dragon. But the two didn't even spare them a glance and just walked towards the sofa like they owned the place. "Ask your grandson and his friend, they know who I am," Jordan answered calmly, sitting on the sofa while Azure Dragon stood by his side, alert. "Mason, who is he?" Bruce instantly turned to his grandson, who looked like he had lost his soul at the moment. His body trembled, his eyes opened wide as though they would bulge out of their sockets.. Jake was no different. He couldn't forget the humiliation and beating he went through in the hands of Azure Dragon. "I....I don't..don't know him...." Mason stuttered, denying the fact he knew Jordan. "Yes...yes... We don't.. know who they are..." Jake chipped in, stuttering, his eyes never leaving Azure Dragon. Bruce's expression changed seeing this. From the way
Perfect Timing
"Master, everything has been taken care of," Azure Dragon reported, staring at Jordan who was standing right outside the house. It had been an hour since the incident. After Jordan and Mia arrived home. Sarah was already asleep. Well, Jordan informed her they would be arriving late, so there was no need for her to wait up. After placing Zoey gently on the bed, he walked out of the house with Mia and waited for Azure who arrived with the car all repaired after an hour. Jordan was planning to keep what had happened away from his wife, so he needed to clean all traces and Azure Dragon knew this well. "I'm sure you want to know who sent the assassin right?" Jordan chuckled, breaking the silence, turning to Azure Dragon and Mia. Mia and Azure Dragon didn't say anything, but their expression screamed yes. "The assassin was sent by the joint effort of two people," Jordan chuckled as he revealed, a hint of amusement in his voice. He couldn't remember the last time someone tried t
He's Too Loud
"Azure Dragon, head South, at the top of a sky scraper, that's where the assassin is," Jordan commanded, a glint flashing in his eyes.He had to make sure whoever was behind this pay. As for how he knew the position of the assassin, he had already locked onto the man after the first shot.So even if the Azure Dragon and Mia didn't come, Jordan would still have been able to track the assassin."Yes sir," Azure Dragon nodded, his figure vanishing from sight.Mia on the other hand hurriedly opened the door of the car, helping Jordan alight from the car with Zoey in his arms.Only after seeing that Zoey was fine did Mia heave in a sigh of relief.If anything had happened to her, she wasn't sure if anyone could bear Jordan's wrath."Thud!"Soon after, a bloodied figure was thrown roughly onto the floor, rolling and hitting the car with a loud bang.At the same time, Azure Dragon's figure appeared and grabbed the figure he had just thrown on the floor, pulling him up and forcing him to knee
Attacked
Hours later, Zoey stepped out of the company looking worn out and tried.She had finally managed to finish what she was doing. But it came with a little bit of consequence, it was already dark.Since Jordan believed in her and had invested so much into the project, she couldn't let it go to waste, so she decided to work overtime that day so she could set things up."Get in, it's later already," Jordan's voice sounded, pulling Zoey out of her thoughts, a car pulled up before her.Nodding slightly, she got into the car and glanced at Jordan who was driving."Thanks for waiting for me, hubby..." Zoey muttered weakly, glancing at Jordan who was driving."If I didn't wait for you, who will," Jordan chuckled looking over at his wife before concentrating on the road."Besides, next time, don't work so hard, take it slowly," Jordan continued, glancing over at Zoey whose head was now on the seat, her eyes closed.A faint gentle snore came from her showing she was fast asleep.Seeing this, Jord
Teasing Zoey
(Five Days Later)"Jordan, Jordan, I have something for you," Zoey called as she hurried into the office, glancing at Jordan who was sprawled lazily on the sofa.Ever since Jordan took back his company from the Garrison family, he had stopped going out except when needed and would always accompany Zoey to work and be with her all day.According to him, this was the best form of repayment he could give her. Also, it was only under his watch that she was truly safe. It wasn't as though he didn't trust Mia and the rest, but he felt it wasn't still enough."What did you just call me?" Jordan sat up lazily, sitting up from where he was laying looking at Zoey who had run into the office excitedly."Jordan?" Zoey repeated, blinking confusedly."Was that what we agreed on?" Jordan raised his brows, staring at Zoey."But..but we are not at home..." Zoey stuttered her face going red as she understood what Jordan wanted her to do."Seems like you don't want me to check what you have for me," Jo
