Chapter 755 Jordan is just a mama's boy
Once in the car, Lisa gripped the seatbelt tightly and spoke again， "I'll help you lure out Mark."
Raymond frowned. "You even don't know where Mark went or who took him. How could you lure him out? Are you looking to get yourself killed?"
He even couldn't find Mark, let alone Lisa.
"This has nothing to do with you. Just help me get custody of Casey. If Casey stays with the Taylor family, he won't be valued." Lisa looked up at Raymond, as if she had made up her mind. "Jordan will remarry and have his own children. If Casey stays with the Taylor family, they definitely wouldn't take good care of him."
She couldn't let Casey stay with the Taylor family.
"Given your current situation, if Jordan takes you to court, it will be hard for you to get custody. You need a stable job and income." Raymond was silent for a long time before he spoke. "You can work for me. That way, you'll have a better chance."
Lisa was silent for a long time, then nodded. "Okay."
She had no options now.
Lisa needed to get custody of Casey first, then entrust him to Ethan and Jasmine.
She had already set aside funds for Casey's education and living expenses until he turned 18.
Although she didn't want to trouble Ethan and Jasmine, she had no other choice.
To lure out Mark, Lisa had to find a way to contact him and then go abroad to be with him. Mark was definitely no longer in the country, and Mark and the people behind him wouldn't let things go easily.
If no one lurked around Mark, Ethan and the others would be at a disadvantage.
Lisa knew she had made many mistakes in the past, and she had to make amends.
"I'll talk to Jordan. You should rest well at the hotel tonight." Raymond took Lisa to the hotel.
Lisa thanked him and turned to leave.
Raymond got out of the car and hesitated for a long time before speaking. "Call me if you need anything."
Lisa nodded. "Okay."
As soon as Raymond drove away, Lisa was pulled into a corner.
"I was wondering why you were so determined to divorce me all of a sudden. I thought you were up to something, but it turns out you already dated with Raymond?" Jordan looked at Lisa angrily.
"Who I'm with is none of your business. Don't you have women outside too?" Lisa frowned and pushed Jordan away. "I've already filed for divorce. I just want custody of Casey."
"Lisa!" Jordan trapped Lisa. "Given your current circumstances, and leaving the Taylor family, do you feel you have a sound fallback position? Was that Raymond who just dropped you off? Do you know what kind of family the Long family is? Families like theirs care more about reputation. Do you think the Long family would let Raymond marry a divorced woman with a child, a woman with a bad reputation, whose parents are criminals?"
Lisa, breathing heavily, slapped Jordan.
However, Jordan was right, the Long family would never allow a woman like her to marry into their family. She never even hoped to marry Raymond, she thought she wasn't worthy!
But she couldn't stand Jordan belittling her like this.
Jordan sneered and let go of Lisa. "Lisa, I'll divorce you, but I won't give up custody of our son. My mom won't agree to let him stay with you, so give up on that."
Lisa clenched her fists. "Jordan, you really do listen to your mom. Why don't you just spend the rest of your life with her!"
Jordan looked angrily at Lisa. "Don't bring that up. My mom is in poor health, and you never know how to get along well with her!"
"You're the one who wanted a divorce, then a few days ago you said you didn't want a divorce, but now you're listening to your mom and want a divorce again." Lisa sneered, mocking herself.
She really didn't know why she loved Jordan so much back then, even losing her self-respect.
Yes, a woman who didn't even respect herself, how could she expect others to love her?
Jordan was silent. He suddenly didn't want a divorce, and he didn't even know why. "After all, you gave birth to Casey."
"You don't even like Casey, so don't listen to your mom and take him away from me." Lisa tried to plead with Jordan one last time. "I admit I've wronged you over the years, forcing you to marry me. For the sake of the good times we've had, give me the custody. You know I have nothing left. I only have Casey."
Jordan hesitated.
Lisa took a deep breath. "Jordan, you can't guarantee you won't remarry in the future, and you can't guarantee you'll always treat Casey well. You clearly don't like him, so why fight with me for him?"
"My mom says he's a Taylor family child." Jordan said solemnly.
Lisa really felt powerless. "Then see you in court."
Jordan frowned at Lisa. "With your bad record, you won't stand a chance."
"Then let's see." Lisa walked into the hotel.
Jordan stood there, watching Lisa.
Lisa had changed a lot. At first, he thought it was one of her schemes, but gradually, he realized Lisa had really changed.
In the past, whenever he wanted a divorce, Lisa would stop. This time, she agreed so quickly that he thought she was up to something.
But when Lisa signed the divorce papers without hesitation, he suddenly regretted it.
If Lisa really left him like this...
Jordan felt conflicted.
But the Taylor family wouldn't keep Lisa. Lisa was Mark's daughter, and Claire and Mark had made countless enemies in Silverlight City. The Taylor family couldn't keep Lisa .
At Betty's place.
Richard was cooking in the kitchen while Betty held the baby and had a video conference in the living room.
Betty still had to handle all the company's affairs, even during her maternity leave.
"Mrs. Willer, today the Willer Group and the Summit Group finalized their collaboration. Initially, their terms were very harsh, but Steven stepped in and helped. He said you were his wife, and the Summit Group changed instantly. The collaboration went very smoothly," said someone from the project team on the other end of the video call.
They were all confused. Wasn't Steven supposed to be dead? Wasn't her current husband just a bodyguard?
Betty sat on the sofa, with the computer camera facing the dining table, where Richard was bringing out dishes.
Everyone in the meeting room fell silent. They thought Betty was impressive, she had one husband at home and another outside.
And both were legal.
"Alright, I got it. Handle it well." Betty quickly ended the video call, afraid Richard would hear and get upset.
Steven had been acting out recently, flaunting his status as her husband everywhere, all to secure her position as the rightful husband."
The more capable Steven was, the more it highlighted how pitiful and incompetent Richard, the bodyguard with no background, seemed.
Richard, however, remained calm, quietly cooking.
"Come with me to a dinner party tonight. I'll introduce you to everyone," Betty said softly.
Richard nodded and served Betty some food. "Eat."
Betty looked at Richard cautiously.
Why was he so calm today?
Steven was flaunting everywhere, but Richard wasn't even angry?
