My Wasted Husband Is in Power, Now!
Chapter 98 Hailey Wants Some Shares!

Orlando.

It was almost midnight when Jordan returned to Rose Garden Villa.

At this time, Hailey's former college classmates had all left.

To Jordan's surprise, Hailey's parents came over after her classmates left to help clean up.

Jordan entered and said to them, "You don't actually have to clean up. I have a helper."

Sylvie hurried over and poured Jordan a glass of water.

She then said, "My dear son-in-law, you must be tired after such a long day of work. Sit down and have some water."

Afterward, she pointed at the mess in the hall and said, "Those servants won't know how to pack up at all. There are so many expensive ornaments here. What if they accidentally get damaged? Benedict and don't have much to do anyway. We'll just treat it as a workout."

Benedict chimed in with a deferential smile, "Yes, we'll treat it as a workout. It's not tiring at all."

Jordan shook his head helplessly. Benedict and Sylvie had never "worked out" by doing household chores in the past three years.

Jordan didn't say anything else and instead walked further in. Hailey hugged him.

"Hubby, you're home. I missed you so much."

They had only been apart for three hours, but Hailey was already acting all coquettish as she leaped into his embrace.

For a couple that was deeply in love with each other, one minute of being away from each other would feel like an eternity.

Jordan and Hailey had never been so affectionate with each other in the past.

Although they did have feelings for each other in the past, Hailey would never express her feelings for Jordan because she despised his identity.

Things are different now. Jordan had become the president of Ace Corporation. In contrast, Hailey had become a meek, dainty woman who was so vulnerable and helpless that she couldn't unscrew a bottle cap on her own.

Jordan was elated too. He caressed Hailey's hair and said, "I'm sorry, I was tied up with work at the office, so I couldn't accompany you to entertain your former classmates."

Hailey smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm actually not that close to my former college classmates. You don't have to care about them. The only friend of mine you should take seriously is Rachel!" Jordan frowned at the mention of Rachel.

Jordan used to be a live-in husband who had a low status in the family, so he didn't dare to badmouth Hailey's best friend.

However, things were different now because Hailey was very obedient towards him.

Hence, Jordan spoke his mind. "Hailey, I know that you and Rachel have been best friends for more than a decade and are very close to each other. However, I still hope that you'll keep a distance from her." "Huh? Why?" Hailey was surprised.

Jordan said, "Rachel is already married, but her husband is often away on business trips, so she takes advantage of that to date other men. I don't want her to lead you astray."

Hailey said with a faint smile, "Don't worry, I won't be like her. My husband is so handsome and rich, I won't bother looking at other men!"

Jordan smiled helplessly. He knew that Hailey was not obsessed with younger hunks like Rachel was.

Compared to appearance, wealth and status mattered more to Hailey.

In terms of wealth and status, no one of the same age group as Jordan could pose a threat to him.

"Hailey, Jordan."

Sylvie suddenly walked over again and handed them a box of folic acid tablets.

"What is this?" Jordan asked with puzzlement.

Sylvie smiled and said, "Jordan, these are folic acid tablets. Aren't you and Hailey trying for a baby now? Folic acid tablets can prevent congenital neurological disorders in newborns!" Jordan felt a little awkward. 'This mother-in-law of mine has been rather thoughtful in all aspects lately.'

Sylvie would whip up nutritious meals for them every day for the sake of helping them increase the chances of

conception.

The following day, Sylvie came over early in the morning to make breakfast for Jordan and Hailey.

Breakfast was even more sumptuous than lunch, and Sylvie even personally served Jordan his food.

"Be careful. It's hot, my dear son-in-law."

Jordan said, "Mom, you can just call me Jordan."

"Alright, Jordan," Sylvie said, grinning widely from ear to ear.

Benedict no longer stood on ceremony either. "Jordan, Grandma has appointed Hailey as the director of the Hailey Residences project and me as the deputy director. So, we'll both be seeing you at your office very often."

Jordan had also heard about it. As Hailey had already reconciled with him, her status in the family far exceeded that of Herman and his children.. Now, Herman was no longer valued.

Jordan said, "No problem, you can come over anytime. If you have any problems, you can approach Victoria or me directly."

Hearing Jordan calling Victoria by her first name and omitting her last name, Hailey felt extremely jealous. She immediately put her cutlery down and pouted.

She said furiously, "Hubby, I don't like Victoria Clarke, she's a brazen hussy, and I'm scared that she might seduce you. Can you dismiss her?"

Jordan knew that Hailey and Victoria had had several conflicts before.

He said, "Honey, Victoria is just a pretty woman who's exceptionally competent at work. She knows more people than I do in Orlando. If I dismiss her, the company will incur major losses."

Hailey was rather displeased. "Can you give me some shares as well? I also want to be the vice president of Ace Corporation!"

Jordan did not answer immediately.

Hailey immediately said, "Hmph, you don't love me at all. I'm your lawfully wedded wife, and I'm going to be the mother of your children. Yet, I don't get a single cent of your money, and you're not willing to give me a tiny amount of shares either."

Hailey was so aggrieved that she was about to cry.

Jordan contemplated it carefully and thought that a tiny portion of shares in the company wouldn't amount to much. She would just be a deputy president in title anyway.

Hailey was preparing to conceive soon, and once she got pregnant, she would have to stay at home to nurse her pregnancy and wouldn't have the time to go to the office. Hence, he thought it wouldn't be a big deal to give in to her.

Hence, Jordan compromised, "Alright, I'll give you a portion of shares."

Hailey immediately beamed with joy. "I want a larger portion than Victoria Clarke. Just 0.01% more than her, hehe!"

After breakfast, Benedict personally drove Jordan and

Hailey to the Ace Corporation.

Tension built up as soon as Hailey and Victoria met!
