I Hope You Will Never Regret

Chapter 187 Reputation



At the Spencer residence, Juliet was in her husband’s arms fuming with anger. She looked at her husband aggrieved and asked, “Trevor, why did you bring the Bennet family into our house?”

Her husband touched her lovely face tenderly and replied, “My love, I did it to protect our daughter’s reputation. Do you want people to call her a gold digger? People in our circle are aware that Jordan broke up with Miss Martins because he fell in love with our daughter.

So, if she dumped him now people will say Tiffany was in love with Jordan’s riches. Hence, I decided to bring the Bennet family home. I was against breaking Jordan and Miss Martins up, but you forced me to get the Celebration Party invitation cards.

I even asked our daughter to chase the Taylor family heir, Xavier Taylor, but she told me that she fell in love with Jordan at first sight. Also, I think Jordan loves our daughter sincerely. My beautiful wife, please let’s give them a chance.”

His wife nodded her head; she couldn’t refute her husband’s words. Even though her heart was aching for her precious daughter for falling in love with the wrong person she decided to support her husband.

In Tiffany’s bedroom, she was sitting on her bed fuming with anger. She regretted coming between Avery and Jordan. She hated Lily to the core. She was supposed to tell her the truth about Jordan.

She wasn’t aware that everything Jordan had was because of Avery. She was reminded of Avery’s words when she told Jordan that he would lose everything he had achieved because of her.

On that day she mocked Avery because she thought that it was just an insignificant amount of money. Unbeknownst to her Jordan was nothing without Avery. She vowed that she would cancel their engagement.

She felt that Lily had used her and took their friendship for granted. She tried to get hold of Lily several times, but she was ignoring her. She even sent her text messages but there was no response.

The following morning, Jordan woke up in a bad mood because Tiffany wanted to cancel their engagement. Last night, she chased him out of the main house and asked him to sleep at the servants’ quarters with his family.

His father was so disappointed in him, and he slapped him several times. His beloved mother was crying softly in her husband’s arms. She didn’t want to go back to their old house.

Mrs Bennet missed the luxurious mansion and the neighbourhood. She asked his beloved son to beg Miss Martins to take him back. Her husband was fuming with anger and told his wife that he would never live on handouts.

At that moment, Jordan’s phone started ringing. His face darkened when he saw the caller ID. He hesitated but he decided to take the call and said, “Mr Duma, how may I help you?”

Eric Duma smiled and replied, “President Bennet, please note that the lease agreement has been terminated with immediate effect. Please move your stuff today because the office space has been rented out.

Jordan was dumbfounded. Mr Martins was ruthless and replied, “Mr Duma, for four years I have never missed rent. Please give me at least a month to move my stuff.”

Eric sneered, “Don’t you know who the owner of this office building is? The office building belongs to Avery, and she wants you out of her office building. Why don’t you ask your father-in-law to keep your stuff for you?”

Jordan was fuming with anger and replied, “Mr Duma, keep your nose out of my business. I will move my stuff before the end of business today.” Then he slammed the phone. He was cursing the Martins family for being ruthless.

He felt thirsty; he went to the kitchen to drink water. He looked around but he couldn’t see a fridge. For the past four years, he had never drunk water from the tap water. He opened the cupboards, but they were empty.

At that moment, his mother walked to the kitchen. She wanted to prepare breakfast for her husband. She didn’t even look at her son. She opened the cupboards, but she couldn’t find any food.

She was annoyed and asked, “Jordan, what are we going to eat?” Jordan didn’t know what to say because he used all the money in his bank account towards the wedding.

Jordan took his phone and dialed Tiffany’s number, but she didn’t pick up the phone. He looked at his mother and replied, “Please give me a few minutes, I will go out and buy food for you.”

He went back to his room and looked for the car keys. He had forgotten that he didn’t have a car anymore. He was thinking of going to His Mercy restaurant to fetch food for his parents. It would take him a couple of hours from Amanzimtoti to Umhlanga using taxis.

Jordan went to the main house; he greeted his mother-in-law and said, “Aunt Juliet, may we join you for breakfast?” Aunt Juliet looked at him coldly then she told the helper to prepare food for the Bennet family.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

A few minutes later, Jordan brought food to the servants’ quarter’s kitchen then he told his parents that breakfast was served.

His father looked at his wife and said, “I heard that the Martins Group is hiring construction workers since they won the Spaghetti Junction Project. I will go and try my luck.”

His wife was dumbfounded and asked, “Hubby, why don’t you go back to the shoe factory? We are going to be a laughingstock if people hear that you are working for the Martins Group.”

Her husband looked at her and replied, “The shoe factory retrenched a lot of people two years ago and they are not hiring. I was talking to Luca’s father about the job in the hospital.

I was surprised to hear that they had been relocated to East London three years ago. After the internship, the Martins Group hired Luca as Finance Team Leader and he bought his parents a big house. Some people are blessed to have children with good morals.

It is a pity that we are in this predicament because we failed to raise our son well. It is clear to me that his fiancée loved what Jordan has but not him.”

Jordan looked at his father and said, “Dad, Mom, I am sorry for letting you down. Tiffany doesn’t love me. I overheard her telling someone that she dated me because she was promised a project. She used me as a tool to get a project, Dad.”

His mother was dumbfounded and asked, “Why did you break up with the Martins’ girl because it is clear to me that she loved you a lot?”

Jordan looked at his mother and replied, “Mom, you told me that I have to date not for love but for benefits. However, when I saw Tiffany, I felt that she was my soulmate. I reap what I sow, but it hurts.”

His mother was shocked and asked, “Since you knew that you don’t love her, who stopped you from hiring construction workers and buying the construction machinery?”

Jordan looked at his mother and replied, “I never thought that Avery would take back everything she has given me because she loved me deeply.”

His father sneered, “Son, I hope you have learned your lesson. There is a thin line between love and hate. One day you will realize that you have lost the best thing in your life, but it will be too late to regret it.”
