Chapter 40 What Is That Smell
Brina? Jordan couldn’t help but recall what Sabrina had said earlier about rich, young, handsome men following her around. Could the guy in front of him be one of those men?
Feeling unimpressed, Jordan’s expression turned cold. “This is between my wife and me. It’s not for outsiders to interfere.
“As far as I know, you’re already divorced,” Zayn shot back
“We’ve signed the divorce papers, but the decree hasn’t been finalized yet. Legally, Sabrina and I are still married,” Jordan replied.
Zayn frowned, incredulous at Jordan’s shamelessness. He glanced at Sabrina, who merely shrugged, clearly accustomed to Jordan’s unabashed behavior.
“What are you waiting for? Drive!” Sabrina urged.
Zayn acknowledged her and quickly got into the car. Sabrina waved cheekily at Jordan, calling out, “See you later, darling!” The word “darling” was laced with

Before jordan could react, she had already slipped into the Maserati In seconds, the car disappeared into the night. Jordan’s expression tumed grim. He pulled out his phone and called Victor.
“Where are you?”
20 minutes later, the car pulled up to a private bar. When Jordan walked in, be found Victor in the mi

The man who had been yelling at Jordan earlier was now on his knees, holding a bucket of ice over his head. Victor casually added more ice to sipping his drink.
Hold it steady. It even a single piece falls, you’ll be downing a bottle of liquor.”
The man, who had been drunk earlier, now had visible bruises on his face. After being put through the ordeal, he was mostly sober. In fact, he finally realized the kind of people he’d crossed. He trembled with fear but didn’t dare to resist.
“See this, Jordan? He knows how to behave now,” Victor said while patting the man’s face as if he were teaching a dog. Next, he wiped his hand on the man’s shirt in disgust.
“Get him out of here,” Jordan said, still in a foul mood. He then poured himself a drink and downed it in one go, trying to suppress the anger boiling inside him. “det lost!” Victor hissed before kicking the man. The man scrambled to his feet, babbling his thanks as he hurriedly crawled out of the room.
Just then, Victor noticed the odd smell coming from Jordan.
“What’s that smell?” He pinched his nose and continued, “Was Sabrina responsible?
Victor knew he guessed it right when Jordan’s expression darkened. Hence, he called the manager and asked him for a clean set of clothes. Ethan rubbed his nose and asked, “Jordan, weren’t you supposed to take Sabrina home? Where is she?”

Jordan glared at him and snapped, “You still have the time to care about Sabrina? Is she someone you should be concerned about?” Ethan was left speechless. “Seriously, why bring up things that don’t matter? Just pour the drinks!” Victor intervened, worried that Jordan’s anger might spill over onto them. Ethan filled Jordan’s glass with wine. The latter then held his drink, leaning against the bar, casually toying with the glass. He gave off an air that said he didn’t want to be disturbed.
When his phone rang, he glanced at the screen. After a moment’s hesitation, he answered.
“Valerie?”
“Jordan, have you been busy these days? why haven’t you come to the hospital to see me? I miss you!”
“I’ve been tied up, but I’ll come by tomorrow. Make sure to rest well”
After Jordan hung up the call, Ethan said, “Take me with you tomorrow. I want to know who was the woman who saved you back then!”
Not only did she save Jordan and lose her innocence, she even bandaged his wounds. Ethan had been curious about the woman that Jordan thought about her all the
The manager jetsped with anew set of clothes and handed them to Victor. “Here are the clothes you asked for, Mr. Lance.
