Chapter 74 Showing Who Was the Boss
Adrian didn’t take Valerie’s request seriously and told jordan what she had said. With Jordan’s approval, he drove to the hospital,
“Can you give me the contact details of Miracle Doctor, Mr. Boyer? I need to askher something personal.”
“I don’t have the Miracle Doctor’s number, but I can get you in touch with her assistant.”
“Can you reach out to them for me?”
Adrian had no idea what Valerie was up to. He just dialed the number and handed her the phone. Unsurprisingly, her request to speak with Elsa was rejected.
“Apologies, Ms. Patterson. Miracle Doctor won’t handle private conversations. If you’ve got questions, you’ll have to wait until Wednesday’s appointment. If that’s all, I’m heading back to the office.”
“Hold on.” Valerie hesitated and asked, “How long have you been working with Jordan, Mr. Boyer?”
“It’s been almost six years.”
“You must be pretty familiar with Jordan’s and the rest of the Ford family members‘ preferences. Can you tell me what Grandma, Mom, and Emily like?”
After thinking about it for a moment, Adrian just laid it out and shared what they liked, but he was pretty disdainful of how Valerie acted so chummy.
Linda and Selena hadn’t accepted her yet, but she was already calling them “Grandma” and “Mom“. He had to admit that her shamelessness was something else. “Do you hate me too, Mr. Boyer?
“What’s important is how Jordan feels.” Adrian avoided answering Valerie’s question straight up, so Valerie figured out he was a fan of hers,
“Jordan and I will be engaged soon, Mr. Boyer. Since I’ll be living with him, we will see each other all the time. Not everyone will like me as if I’m money. Still, I hope you understand that I’ll be the lady of the Ford family moving forward.”
That was her way of showing who was the boss, hunting at Adrian to not mess up and choose the wrong side.
However, Adrian didn’t waver one bit. “It’s too early for this conversation, Ms. Patterson. I’ll give you the respect you deserve when you officially become Jordan’s wife. Rest up, and I’m off to the office.”
Three days later, Adrian hurriedly entered the office. “Everova is planning to develop the land on the outskirts and build some commercial and residential properties.”
If that was the situation, it’d interrupt their development plans and mess up their project,
“Didn’t Lucas say the landowner wasn’t interested in selling? So, why is it now being given to a small, newly–launched company?”
“I’ve spoken to Lucas, but he had no idea. After doing some research, I found out that the CEO of Everova is Zayn. He seems to be Mrs. Ford’s-
Jordan coldly glanced at Jordan, and the latter immediately corrected himself. “He’s Ms. Tucker’s chauffeur. On top of that, he invested one billion dollars into Stardust yesterday for a new generation of Al technologies.”
As a chauffeur, Zayn suddenly came up with one billion dollars, founded a company In no time, and snagged the land that Ford Corporation had been eyeing. It was pretty clear that he wasn’t just an ordinary chauffeur.
Jordan appeared to be deep in thought.
“Could it be that Ms. Tucker is the person pulling the strings behind Zayn, Mr. Frod?”
Even though this theory sounded absurd, that was the only guess that made sense at the moment.
After Sabrina divorced Jordan, it’d been impossible to find any information about her. It felt like someone had been covering her tracks in the dark. Even the latest scoop Adrian could find was from the internet.

‘No way. Sabrina grew up in an orphanage. After getting married, she became a stay–at–home housewife for three years. She didn’t have robust connections either. Where could she get that kind of money?” After all, she walked away from the divorce with nothing.
Adrian asked, “Could it be Ms. Tucker is deliberately hiding her identity, Mr. Ford? If she didn’t have help, we wouldn’t have had trouble finding her whereabouts or address before?”
With a serious expression, Jordan didn’t say a word and made a phone call.
