Chapter 249: The Children Are Not Yours!

Jordan and Hailey argued endlessly.
Standing at the side, Cayden looked like he was watching a good show.
Cayden laughed and said, “Jordan, why do you insist on doing the paternity tests with the children? Do you suspect that Hailey slept with another man when she was trying for a baby with you?”
Cayden knew for a fact that the children didn’t belong to him anyway, so he didn’t have to run a maternity test.
Hailey took advantage of it and looked at Jordan as she asked, “Yeah, Jordan, what do you mean by forcing the children to undergo paternity tests? Aren’t you blatantly suspecting that I had slept with another man?”
“Jordan, you’re such a jerk. I loved you so much at that time, and I wanted to see you every waking minute of my life. I wanted to text you all the time and stayed in your villa every single day. Yet, you’re suspecting me of having cheated on you?”
Jordan was at a loss for words. He knew that Hailey was rather nice to him at that time and didn’t show any signs of cheating.
Jordan said, “No, I’m not suspecting you. This is just one of our family’s rules. I can’t help it either.”
Hailey sneered. “Haha, what rules of your family? You’ve long been expelled by the Steeles, and you’re still mentioning the rules set by them?”
“The Steeles require their descendants to take the paternity test because they’re going to give them billions of dollars worth of assets after the test!”
“What’s the point of you doing the paternity test? Even if the children are proven to be yours, do you have a property to leave to them?”
“All your money comes from Victoria. Victoria won’t give the money she earned to my children!”
Jordan didn’t want to explain anything to Hailey. Instead, he said, “You don’t have to worry about whether I have any assets to be given to the children. As long as they’re mine, I won’t mistreat them!”
“The children aren’t yours!” Hailey suddenly said.
At this moment, even Cayden was taken aback.
He was overjoyed and proceeded to peel a banana to munch on while watching the drama unfold.
Jordan was shocked to hear those words that he had sometimes had nightmares about during Hailey’s pregnancy!
Breathing heavily, Jordan looked at Hailey and asked, “What… what did you say?”
Hailey said with an arrogant look on her face, “I said, the children aren’t yours!”
“Who do they belong to then!?!” Jordan exclaimed loudly.
Hailey, however, was not afraid of Jordan and said to him with a straight face, “Tyler Collins!”
Jordan and Cayden were both astounded to hear that answer.
After the shock, Cayden was delighted, and he said, “It turns out the children belong to my cousin. Haha, that’s exciting, huh? My cousin, who doesn’t look like much but is a person who can do great things, kept such a huge matter from me.”
“That said, I haven’t contacted him for a long time, and I don’t know where he’s been for the last six months.”
“When I have time, I have to give him a call and tell him that I’ll be raising his children. Haha, we’re relatives after all.”
At this moment, Jordan was rather agitated!
“Tyler Collins? The children are fathered by him?
Jordan kept recalling the image of Hailey and Tyler being in the hotel room and the video that Tyler had secretly taken.
“Does it mean that Hailey was already pregnant at that time?”
“Does it mean that Tyler secretly came to Orlando to see her when she was trying for a baby with me?”
Recalling how happy Tyler had made Hailey in the past, Jordan reckoned that it wasn’t impossible for her to accept Tyler again!
If it wasn’t for the two babies, he would have given Hailey two slaps on the face right now!
Jordan, who had never hit a woman before, couldn’t stand how shameless Hailey was!
However, Jordan was already a mature man who knew that Hailey was a chronic liar, so he couldn’t trust her words.
Jordan exclaimed, “I don’t believe it! When we were trying for a baby, Tyler Collins went to New York City. He definitely didn’t dare to come back!”
“I want to do a paternity test! It’s not enough for you to say that the children aren’t mine. I have to personally verify it for myself!”
As Jordan spoke, he was about to carry the babies.
Hailey stopped Jordan with all her might. “Don’t touch my kids! You’re not fit to do a paternity test with the children!”
“If you were still the grandson of the Steeles now, I wouldn’t stop you, but you’re just a freeloading good-for-nothing now. Who are you to demand that we do a paternity test?”
“Even if the children are yours, I don’t need you to fork out a single cent because I can raise them myself!”
“Anyway, the kids have nothing to do with you. Get out of here. I don’t want to see you again!”
Hailey was so emotional that the children started crying too.
Seeing this, Cayden also stood in front of Jordan and said, “Jordan, you should go. You scared the babies as soon as you came.”
“Is it really that important whether the children belong to you or not? You have Victoria now, and it’s a good thing for you if you’re childless. Do you actually expect Victoria to help you raise your kids?”
Hearing the babies crying, Jordan’s heart ached!
He didn’t want to continue arguing with Hailey here as he wanted them to stop crying.
Hence, Jordan turned around and left, but before he did, he told the two of them, “I will definitely get the paternity tests done.”
As soon as he headed downstairs after coming out of the hospital, he got a call from Butler Frank.
“Hello.”
“Mr. Jordan, Mr. Steele Senior would like to know the result of the paternity test of your twins.
“I haven’t done it yet.”
“You haven’t? Did you encounter any trouble? Do you need my help?”
“No!”
Jordan quickly turned down Frank’s help because he knew that once his family intervened, they would do whatever they could to achieve their goal.
The children were inseparable from Hailey now, and if they had to be forcibly taken away for a paternity test, Jordan could do it himself without Frank’s help.
However, Jordan didn’t want to do that and treated it as his last resort.
At this moment, Victoria called too.
Jordan hurriedly said, “I’ll handle this matter myself. I’ll hang up now.”
Jordan ended the call with Frank and then answered Victoria’s call.
“Jordan, how did the talk with Hailey go?”
Victoria asked, knowing that Jordan would be going to the hospital today for the paternity test.
As Jordan’s current girlfriend, she was also very concerned about this matter.
Jordan said, “She said the children aren’t fathered by me but Tyler Collins.”
“What?” Victoria was stunned on the other end. “No way? Could she be just trying to spite you on purpose?”
“Beats me,” Jordan said.
Victoria said, “Okay, don’t panic yet. I’ll make a trip to the hospital now, let me talk to her. It’ll be easier for me to communicate with her since I’m a woman too. You two must have argued again, and in such circumstances, nothing positive will come out of your discussion.”
“Yes.” Jordan nodded, knowing that Victoria was good at communications.
Perhaps, Victoria would help him solve the problem.
Jordan went to the smoking area of the hospital and smoked a cigarette despondently. He secretly thought, ‘I thought that once Hailey gives birth, I wouldn’t need to worry, but I didn’t think this to be the beginning of my troubles.”
“Are the children… mine or not?”
