Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

She wanted to punish him with the family rules!

Those who violated the Camdens’ family rules would be severely punished, with the simplest being a board beating and being unable to walk for a few days, and the most severe being a broken finger.

Hailey called Jordan as soon as he could.

“What’s the matter?” Jordan answered the phone.

Hailey answered, “Grandma wants you to come over.”

“No.” Jordan hung up the phone right away.

Hailey did not expect Jordan to dare to refute here in such a resolute manner. She put down the phone and said to her grandmother, “He’s not coming.”

Seeing how awkward the situation was, Sylvie frantically said,

“Mom, it’s your 80th birthday celebration today. Let’s get busy with the celebration and ignore that good-for-nothing.”

However, Old Mrs. Camden was stubborn.

“As long as it is something that the Camdens provided for, he has to be here, regardless if he’s human or a dog!”

After saying that, she looked at Drew. “Drew, bring him over!”

“Alright.”

Drew cracked his fingers. He often bullied Jordan and thought that this would be an excellent chance to move his limbs.

After Drew left, Old Mrs. Camden returned to the mahogany chair and stroked her poodle. Only then did her feelings get placated.

After that, Old Mrs. Camden said, “I called you all to come over early today because I have something to tell you.”

Herman, Benedict and the others all sat upright and listened to what Old Mrs. Camden had to say.

Old Mrs. Camden said, “Yesterday, someone who appeared out of nowhere was appointed as the new chairman of the Ace Corporation. No one knows what his name is or where he comes from.”

“As you are aware, Landmark Realty and the Ace Corporation have been in a cooperative relationship and are currently negotiating a 70 million dollar financing deal. The contract hasn’t been signed yet, so the most important thing to do now is to form a good relationship with the newly appointed chairman of the Ace Corporation!”

Landmark Realty belonged to the Camdens, who developed the New City residential estate that Hailey lived in.

Landmark Realty, however, recently faced some issues with their funds, and they urgently needed the Ace Corporation to invest 70 million dollars in their company.

After Old Mrs. Camden’s words, it was clear that whoever could negotiate the 70 million dollar investment issue with the newly appointed chairman of Ace Corporation would be rewarded.

The reward might be a promotion in the family business or something related to the final authority over the business or inheritance!

Benedict was the first to speak up. “Mom, leave this matter to me. I will do everything I can to pave good relations with the new chairman of Ace Corporation!”

Herman gibed, “What right do you have to be in charge? I’ve always been in charge of the financing, Drew and I will take care of this!”

Seeing that both of them were willing to contribute, Old Mrs. Camden smiled.

“It’s my 80th birthday today. The guests arriving to celebrate my birthday are all distinguished figures of high status and authority in Orlando. Ask them about the new president while entertaining the guests. I’ll leave the matter up to the first person who finds out.”
