Chapter 131: Are You Really Going To Get A Divorce?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Hailey was lying on the ground with a hand on her face and another on her stomach as she instantly burst into tears.
“You hit me? How dare you hit me? During the past three years of our marriage, you’ve never hit me before, and even when you caught Tyler and me together, you weren’t that angry. Yet, you actually hit me now?”
!!
“Jordan, you’re not a man. You’re a sc.u.mbag! Scoundrel! Beast!”
It was true that Jordan had never hit Hailey before!
He loved her.
When Jordan watched Victoria slap Hailey previously, he felt heartbroken. He told Victoria not to hit her again in the future.
When Jordan saw Hailey putting a hand on her stomach to s.h.i.+eld it, Jordan suddenly realized that Hailey had not aborted the fetus and that she was just trying to spite him just now.
Jordan hurriedly leaned down, picked Hailey up, and asked, “You… you didn’t get an abortion?”
Hailey pushed Jordan away and shouted, “Even if I don’t get an abortion now, I will after we get a divorce!”
“I’m not afraid to tell you, I have a boyfriend too! He’ll marry me as soon as I abort your child.”
“Do you think I want to abort the baby? Do you know how harmful abortions are to women?”
“I might never be able to conceive again. Suppose I do get pregnant again in the future. In that case, the chances of suffering a miscarriage and premature birth will be very high!”
“Besides, he or she is a living being and the product of our love. We’ve been in love with each other for three years, after all. Do you think I can bear to abort it?”
Hailey began bawling as she spoke.
Jordan gritted his teeth furiously and exclaimed, “It turns out that that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Cayden Huxley wants to kill my unborn child!”
Regardless of the relations.h.i.+p between Jordan and Hailey, the baby was innocent after all.
Jordan’s grandfather had also instructed him to keep the baby as long as it was his biological child.
No one knows what will happen in the future.
Jordan pulled out a few pieces of tissue paper from the bed’s headboard and handed them to Hailey.
“Hailey Camden, don’t be so naive! It’s not that easy to get your hands on the a.s.sets of a prestigious family! Don’t think that you can get what you want just because you abort the baby!”
“If you can get close to someone like the CEO of Facebook, you may still have the chance to become a billionaire.”
“But prestigious families treat women as nothing more than baby-making machines unless they’re from an equally powerful background!”
“Don’t think that you can have a high status in the family or take up an important role in the company just because you’re pregnant.”
“Even if you bear a child for them, they will take full custody of the child and raise him or her from the moment they’re born. Even when they grow up, they won’t be very close to you.”
“Don’t keep thinking that you can exchange your beauty for wealth!”
Hailey threw the tissue paper at Jordan.
“Stop trying to educate me! You sc.u.mbag! You’re shameless for cheating on your pregnant wife!”
“Get out of my house! I’m going to divorce you now, and I don’t want to see you again!”
Jordan was saying those words out of spite, but he was also giving her a warning.
Since Hailey refused to listen and was still obsessed with the idea that Cayden would really marry her and give her billions of dollars worth of a.s.sets.
When the time comes, Hailey wouldn’t be able to blame anyone for it because she had brought it upon herself.
Jordan said, “Sure, I promised Grandaunt Lily that I won’t divorce you unless you initiate it.”
“I didn’t break my promise today!”
‘This mistake of a marriage is finally coming to an end!’
They took out their IDs and identification doc.u.ments before coming downstairs. Jordan drove quickly to the City Clerk Office.
After entering, Hailey was still crying aggrievedly.
It seemed to be an auspicious day today, and many couples were getting a divorce at the City Clerk Office.
He saw the miserable state that Hailey was in, with tears in her eyes.
A middle-aged woman who was about forty years old walked over and asked, “Why are you getting divorced? Did your husband cheat on you too?”
Hailey nodded while wiping her tears with a piece of tissue paper.
The middle-aged flew into a rage and hollered furiously, “As the saying goes, there are no good men in this world!”
“I have the same fate as you. That d.a.m.ned husband of mine cheated, and I caught him red-handed. You’ve done the right thing. You should get a divorce in such a situation!”
“Why should we men be forgiven for cheating? But I really feel sorry for you. My husband cheated on me with a college student, and I can understand why. After all, I’m old, and I can’t compare to those young girls.”
“But you’re so pretty. Why would your husband cheat on you? Is he blind?”
Hailey glared at Jordan and said, “Men are all the same. They just want a sense of novelty!”
“Hailey Camden, that’s enough! Which one of us cheated first!?!”
Jordan couldn’t stand it any longer. He initially wanted to quietly complete the divorce proceedings. After all, they had been married for three years and were now parents.
Even if they couldn’t be a married couple, they could still be friends.
Hailey had clearly admitted to her mistakes first, yet she was now pretending to be the only victim.
Even if Jordan and Elle were not putting on an act, she didn’t have the right to lash out at Jordan!
Hailey exclaimed, “I dare swear that I’ve never cheated on you after we reconciled! You must be deliberately taking revenge on me for what happened before we reconciled! Since you’re so bothered by it, you shouldn’t have reconciled with me then!”
“You even slept with my cousin. How shameless!”
Hailey spoke very loudly, and she seemed to be trying to make everyone present hear about Jordan’s misdeeds.
After hearing her words, the middle-aged woman frantically went forth to yell at Jordan. “What are you shouting at her for!?! It’s her freedom to do whatever she wants before marriage. She didn’t cheat on you after you got married!”
“You actually slept with her cousin. Sc.u.m like you should be castrated!”
“Yes, yes, yes, this man is such a sc.u.m!”
This middle-aged woman wasn’t the only one. Other women who were getting a divorce had also come over and stood beside Hailey to comfort her.
Jordan didn’t want to argue with them, nor could he outargue them.
‘They can say what they want. If I have to be labeled as a sc.u.mbag to get away from you forever, I’ll accept it!’
Jordan picked up his cell phone and called the chief of the City Clerk Office, David Jay.
David Jay had once called Jordan, so he had saved Jordan’s number.
“h.e.l.lo, Mr. Jay, are you at the City Clerk Office? My wife and I are getting a divorce, and we’ve already reached the City Clerk Office.”
In less than a minute, a short-haired middle-aged man wearing a floral s.h.i.+rt walked over.
“h.e.l.lo, Mr. Steele, Miss Camden. I’m David Jay.”
David introduced himself and apologized to them.
“I’m really sorry for what happened previously. I’ve already fired that employee who forged the divorce certificate. I’m sorry for delaying the divorce.”
“However, I thought you reconciled because you haven’t returned for a long time.”
“If that’s really the case, I’m very happy for you. After all, couples sometimes get a divorce impulsively.”
“Don’t blame me for asking this but are you very, very sure that you want to get a divorce?”
