242: Becoming The Live-In Son-in-law Of The Camdens Again?

Becoming The Live-In Son-in-law Of The Camdens Again?

In the afternoon, a press conference was held in Breezy Express. 0

Arthur personally apologized to the public and Victoria at the press conference. He stated that although Cayden was his grandson, he did not hold any official position in Breezy Express.

He also claimed that this matter had nothing to do with the competition between Breezy Express and Perry Express and stated that he hoped for the media and world at large not to speculate about it.

However, Arthur's clarification barely did anything to help the situation.

In the next month, the stock price of Breezy Express continued to decline, eventually reaching a market value of only 10 billion dollars.

Breezy Express went from being a top logistics industry giant to a second-tier company worth only half of Perry Express.

It was the 25th of December, Christmas Day.

Cayden bought a gift for Hailey, but she didn't even bother to open it.

Hailey asked, "Cayden, why hasn't the stock price of Breezy Express risen yet? Isn't your grandfather very resourceful? How come he doesn't have a remedy for this? Breezy Express has now become a second-tier courier company, and my friends don't even use Breezy Express anymore."

Hailey was obviously more concerned about the situation of the Huxleys' company than the little gifts.

Cayden was also a lot more haggard than he had been a few months ago. His face was now covered in beard, and he hadn't shaved or groomed himself for days.

"Rest assured, Hailey, Breezy Express will definitely rise again next year. Now that my grandfather has reorganized the management and gone into deep cooperation with several companies, the stock price will surely rise to its previous position next year."

Cayden assured Hailey.

"Let's hope so."

Hailey said scornfully with displeasure.

As the Huxleys gradually fell into the doldrums, Hailey began giving Cayden the cold shoulder.

Now, the Huxleys were worth only about 10 billion dollars. There were two male heirs in Cayden's generation, so he would be entitled to an average of about 4 billion dollars of the inheritance.

After the development over the past six months, the Camdens' net worth was close to 4 billion dollars!

In comparison, the Camdens and the Huxleys were almost on par, so Hailey saw no need to bow down and accommodate Cayden.

"Hailey, it's Christmas. Nate and the guys have set something up, and we happen to have some business to talk about, so I won't be coming home today."

Cayden put on a jacket and prepared to go out.

Hailey frowned and chastised, "You're not even going to be home with me on Christmas! Throughout my pregnancy, how many times have you taken care of me? Are you even fit to be my husband?"

Cayden thought, 'You're not pregnant with my baby, so why should I care for you? Go get Jordan Steele to take care of you!'

However, he didn't voice his thoughts out loud and instead said gently in a warm voice, "Well, your mother is staying here too. Since she's taking care of you, I can be at ease."

Hailey's mother, Sylvie, had already moved in with them for a long time so that she could take care of the pregnant Hailey.

Hailey muttered, "You're always mentioning my mom. I don't see your mom coming to take care of me."

Cayden smiled and said, "Well, I'll get going now. Merry Christmas."

As soon as he walked out the door, Cayden murmured, "You want my mom to come here to take care of your and Jordan's bastard child? Hailey Camden, you don't deserve that!"

Just as Cayden walked out the door, Hailey's mother, Sylvie, made her way downstairs.

Seeing how disgruntled Hailey was, Sylvie asked, "What's wrong, my dear daughter? Have you had a tiff with Cayden again? Don't fight with Cayden all the time. Just be more accommodating."

Sylvie was still very fond of Cayden, and she preferred to have him as her son-in-law instead of Jordan.

Hailey walked towards the window furiously and happened to see the management staff of the villa pushing a cart with a beautiful Christmas tree to Jordan and Victoria's house.

Seeing Jordan and Victoria's sweet smile, Hailey became even more jealous.

"Why? Why do I have to be the one to suffer throughout the pregnancy while Jordan can go anywhere to have fun with Victoria Clarke every single day? It's too tough being a woman!"

The more she thought about it, the more upset she was, and she finally couldn't help but call Jordan.

"Jordan, come here quickly!"

Jordan quickly arrived at Cayden's villa. When he saw Sylvie, he greeted, "Mrs. Camden."

Sylvie ignored Jordan's disdainfully.

Jordan had been her son-in-law for three years, but she was now completely ignoring him.

Jordan sneered in his mind and didn't bother about Sylvie's attitude because he had long known what kind of a woman she was.

"What do you want from me?" Jordan asked.

Hailey said, "Send me to the hospital. I feel really uncomfortable now. Every part of me is uncomfortable, my body, my head, everything. I'm really frustrated, and I don't want to have kids anymore!"

Jordan asked, "Where's Cayden?"

Hailey yelled, "Is the baby yours or Cayden's? What are you asking about him for? Can you be a responsible father and do something for the baby?"

Hailey cursed Jordan for not having a conscience and failing to show concern for his unborn child.

Jordan was speechless. When Hailey was bent on keeping the baby back then, she told him to stay out of her pregnancy and all the child's matters because Cayden would take care of them.

If not for the events of the past six months and if Jordan had had rashly come over to take care of her, Hailey would have probably kicked him out.

Yet, she called Jordan irresponsible now.

If Jordan popped by Cayden's place every other day, he would seem like he was obviously making Cayden a cuckold.

Not wanting to argue with Hailey any further, Jordan said, "Fine, I'll have to inform Victoria about this. Give me a moment."

At this moment, Sylvie remarked, "What a good-for-nothing. He's been living a lowly life as your live-in husband for three years and now that he's gotten together with a rich woman,he has to seek her permission before doing anything."

"Jordan, can't you be more competent? Are you going to sponge off a woman for the rest of your life?"

Jordan flew into a rage and snapped, "Sylvie Parker! Listen up, informing Victoria about this is a form of mutual respect between a couple, not a seeking of permission!"

"The Camdens have indeed provided for me for three years, but I also paid it back a long time ago! Without my help in the field of business, do you think the Camdens can enjoy the glory that they do today?"

Sylvie was indeed rather arrogant when she heard the word "glory" because the Camdens were indeed very glorious now!

In the beginning, the Camdens managed to sign many big contracts thanks to Jordan's help.

After Hailey subsequently got married to Cayden, they progressed a step further with the help of the Huxleys.

Diana was undeniably an intelligent and capable woman!

Hailey said smilingly, "Forget it, Mom, why rake up the past? The Camdens are rich enough to provide for my live-in husband."

"Jordan, I heard that my cousin Elle is head-over-heels in love with you now. If Victoria dumps you in the future, do you want to marry into our family and become a live-in husband again?"
