The Abandoned Husband Dominates Chapter 186-190

Chapter 186: Revenge!

Dumbfounded, Jordan looked at Hailey with his eyes and mouth wide open. Of course, he understood what Hailey meant.

Hailey had always been spoiled rotten. Even after marrying into the wealthy and powerful Huxley family, she was still as arrogant as ever.

She would never be able to tolerate Cayden having extramarital affairs with celebrities while being married to her.

Hence, Hailey wanted to take revenge!

At this moment, she felt that Jordan also needed to take revenge on Victoria!

The two of them were a married couple in the first place, so what happened next was just a matter of course. It was nothing strange!

However, Jordan let go of Hailey’s hand and said, “No, I can’t do that. Victoria might have just encountered a sudden mishap, or her phone is just out of battery.”

“She won’t betray me!”

Hailey was furious, and she raised her fair and tender hand to give Jordan a light smack on the shoulder.

“Why are you so silly!?! She’s gone to look for her old flame. How could her old flame help her without getting anything in return?”

“Cayden and that old man poured Victoria a lot of wine. She’s probably drunk now, and that old man has probably carried her to the hotel room!”

Hearing what Hailey said, Jordan clenched his fist while his face became flushed. The thought of that scene made him feel devastated!

He really wanted to question Victoria and ask her why she wanted to go and beg her old flame and why she couldn’t just wait for a couple more days!

Soon, Jordan’s fourth sister would come to New York City to take over as the CEO of Perry Express. When she does, Victoria would be able to start working at Perry Express and be promoted to the CEO position in a short period!

Hailey was bent on getting revenge on Cayden, but she didn’t have a suitable candidate except for Jordan.

Hence, Hailey continued to spite Jordan.

“Jordan, you’re just so kind. That’s why you’re being bullied by women, do you know? Victoria Clarke is just toying with you. Do you know why she asked you to be her boyfriend? It’s all because you’re too kind!”

“I’ve betrayed you, but you can still forgive me. Women just adore men like you!”

“She decided to woo you because of your excellent personality!”

Jordan was enraged. “Shut up! I forgave you at that time because you were lying to me, and I thought that nothing happened between you and Tyler!”

Hailey was not guilty or ashamed at all. “You’re so gullible when it comes to women. Of course, I’d lie to you!”

“How dare you date a 30-year-old woman like Victoria Clarke? You’re just going to get toyed with by her!”

Both of them were infuriated.

After a few moments of silence, Hailey continued, “Oh, I get it. It’s not that you don’t want to take revenge on Victoria, but you’re just afraid of my husband, aren’t you?”

“Oh, why would I be afraid of Cayden?” Jordan chuckled.

Hailey had no idea what Jordan had done to her husband at all!

Jordan was the cause of Cayden’s infertility, but of course, there was no need to let Hailey know about this matter for the time being.

Hailey said, “If you’re not afraid, what is the reason? Do you remember when we were still married, and you beat Cayden up into a pulp, which caused him to end up hospitalized? Do you remember how I used to dress up bright early in the morning every day and go to the hospital to beg him for mercy?”

“And I’m not afraid to tell you that he and I would get intimate in the ward every single time I visited him. He didn’t give a hoot that I was your wife!”

“Now that I’m Cayden’s wife, don’t you want to take revenge on him?”

Jordan was infuriated, and he immediately recalled that morning where Hailey put on a pretty, low-cut dress and spent more than half an hour doing her makeup before going to the hospital to see Cayden!

‘This cheap bitch Hailey!!’

She was now wearing an ethereal, white-colored dress which made her look like a pure and noble goddess.

Jordan had anger written all over his face, and he really wanted to rip off Hailey’s pretentiously innocent facade!

“You don’t deserve to wear such a pure dress!”

Jordan was about to rip off Hailey’s dress, and he even wanted to throw dirty water on it!

Hailey’s love for her clothes was as great as the lover pet lovers had for their pets. She frantically retreated, only to trip and fall.

Seeing that Hailey was about to fall, Jordan began to get a little worried about the safety of the fetus she was carrying and quickly reached out to hold her. He propped himself up against the ground with his right hand, and fortunately, she didn’t fall.

Jordan closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. Things would get really troublesome if she were to fall and hurt the fetus.

At this moment, Hailey, who was bent on taking revenge on Cayden, took the opportunity to give Jordan a few quick kisses.

Jordan thought about Victoria’s current situation and didn’t utter a single word about it. However, he didn’t let Hailey continue.

Soon, he supported himself against the ground with his right hand and helped Hailey up.

After Hailey got up, she was much more satisfied and stopped pestering Jordan. Instead, she wandered around Jordan and Victoria’s home.

“The decor in here is not bad. How much did you buy this villa for?”

Holding the glass of water in hand and sipping on some water leisurely, Hailey scanned her surroundings in the living room. She was totally behaving like she was the mistress of this house.

Jordan didn’t answer her and simply said, “It’s late. You should go.”

With a satisfied smile on her face, she put down her glass of water and said, “I don’t need you to chase me out. I can leave on my own.”

Jordan suddenly called out to her again, “Hey…”

“I hope you won’t say a word to others about what just happened.”

With a smile on her face, Hailey said, “Don’t worry, I just want to take revenge on Cayden. He’s treating me really well now, and he’s very apologetic. Even if you want to woo me again, there is no way I will divorce Cayden.”

“That’s good.”

Jordan also hoped that it was really the case because he no longer wanted to have an emotional involvement with Hailey.

“I’m leaving. I’ll come to look for you another day.”

Hailey left in satisfaction.

Hailey had turned from an innocent college student to a woman who derived pleasure from cheating on her husband.

Jordan was in no place to criticize Hailey either.

“I’m gradually going to become the type of person that I hate the most!”

Jordan felt that his mentality had also changed. If it weren’t for Hailey’s pregnancy, he might not have been able to resist his urges!

This is just what the world is like!

Regardless of gender, humans tend to become eviler and eviler and lose their moral bottom line as they age!

At 10:30 pm, Victoria returned to the villa, reeking of alcohol.

“Honey.”

Victoria had obviously drunk a lot of wine, but she was still quite clearheaded. Besides, she wasn’t walking on an unsteady gait either, and she could still maintain her balance.

“I’m back.”

Jordan didn’t act too paranoid either, perhaps because he had also done something that would let Victoria down.

He vaguely felt that they would be breaking up tonight!

“Uh, I’m going to take a shower. Can you make me some tea for my hangover? I have something to say to you.”

Victoria said in a gentle voice.

Jordan sized up Victoria while countless messy thoughts ran through his mind.

For example, he wondered if her clothes had stayed on her body for the past few hours.

“Sure.”

Jordan went to the kitchen and made Victoria some ginger lemon tea to cure her hangover.

Victoria had just returned from the bathroom after taking a shower, which really made her feel much more refreshed. After drinking the tea, the effects of alcohol seemed to have worn off.

On the other hand, Jordan had been remaining seated on the couch and waiting for Victoria to give him an explanation.

Previously, Hailey told Jordan to get ready to get dumped by Victoria because the latter would reconcile with that old man, her old flame.

Jordan was in an extremely complicated mood because he didn’t know if Victoria would initiate a break-up.

Both of them had done wrong to each other.

He didn’t want to break up with Victoria!

At this moment, he finally realized that he had already completely forgotten about Hailey and had fallen for Victoria instead!

“Honey, let me tell you something but don’t be upset, okay?”

Victoria sat next to Jordan in her pajamas, and the fragrant scent of her shampoo wafted up to his nose.

Jordan nodded.

Victoria said, “Do you still remember what I told you about me being the mistress of a man in Houston for three years?”

“I met him today.”

Chapter 187: Victoria Didn’t Betray Him!

Inside the living room of the luxurious villa, there was complete silence except for the sounds made by the fully automatic robot vacuum that was scooting around aimlessly.

Victoria’s words verified the information that Hailey had given him—Victoria was indeed with her old flame just now.

According to Hailey, Victoria would choose to dump Jordan and marry that old flame of hers.

Just as she promised, Victoria was not a woman who would cheat on her significant other and then hide it from him like Hailey did.

If she had really done something wrong to Jordan, she would have taken it upon herself to admit it and initiate a breakup.

Understanding Victoria’s character well, Jordan guessed that the next thing Victoria would do was apologize, come clean that she had cheated, and initiate a breakup!

Jordan had initially already thought about how to respond.

He would accept everything calmly and agree to the breakup.

After Victoria breaks up with him, he would show her his true capabilities and point at the office tower of Perry Express while saying to her, “That was initially meant for you!”

He would make her regret breaking up with him and put her through what Hailey had once experienced.

However, at this moment, he could not stay composed.

Although he had just spent a crazy 30 minutes in the bedroom with his gorgeous ex-wife Hailey, he did not have the slightest emotional attachment to Hailey now.

Hailey could no longer occupy a place in Jordan’s heart because Victoria had taken her place!

Jordan had utterly fallen in love with Victoria, who was a few years older than him.

In this instant, Jordan recalled countless images of the two of them in the past.

When Victoria first saw Jordan, she knelt down in front of him in horror.

When Jordan stepped down as president of Ace Corporation, Victoria wept as she couldn’t bear to see him go.

When he ended up in the police station for beating someone, Victoria went around getting help for him using her connections as if she were his wife.

After coming to New York City, Victoria bought a villa and told Jordan she would provide for him.

Jordan didn’t want to lose such a good girlfriend!

“Him and I…” Victoria said slowly.

However, Jordan did not let her finish and simply pulled her into his arms!

Victoria, who was wearing a nightgown that accentuated her figure, was so cold that she shivered.

Jordan hugged Victoria tightly and first spoke emotionally.

“Don’t tell me. I don’t want to hear what happened between you and him.”

“Victoria, don’t leave me. I can give you what that man can. I’ve finally fallen in love with you, and I don’t want to lose you like this…”

It was the first time that Jordan had ever pleaded with Victoria so earnestly.

Victoria was stupefied because she didn’t know why Jordan would say that.

Jordan clearly meant that even if something had happened between her and Russell just now, he didn’t want to know a single thing about it because it didn’t matter to him!

Just wanted to continue being in a relationship with Victoria!

“Oh my God…”

Victoria was moved to tears after figuring out what Jordan meant because she didn’t expect Jordan to love her so much too!

Victoria smiled and teared up. “Silly, what nonsense are you spouting? Why would I leave you, honey?”

Jordan moved his body back and looked at Victoria. he asked, “Aren’t you going to initiate a breakup with me?”

Victoria was once again caught between laughter and tears. “Why would I break up with you? I love you so much, and it was so difficult for me to woo you. How could I break up with you?”

“But you and that man…” Jordan was a little confused.

‘Could it be that Hailey’s claim that Victoria is going to dump me isn’t true?’

‘Could it be that Victoria is not really going to marry Russell too?’

Victoria explained, “Here’s what happened. I happened to run into him after leaving the bookstore yesterday. He heard about me being targeted by the Huxleys in New York City, and it happens that he and Arthur are sworn brothers who share a very close relationship. So, he specially came to New York City to help me make peace with the Huxleys.”

“I just had dinner with him just now, and the Huxleys and Cayden have promised that he won’t make things hard for us again.”

“Jordan, I know that I should discuss this matter with you first. After all, that man is my ex-lover, and you must feel uncomfortable about having him help me.”

“However, at the moment, he’s the only one who can solve our problems. The Huxleys are so powerful, I’m perturbed that something might happen to you in New York City…”

Victoria’s worries were definitely not uncalled for.

If Cayden told his father and grandfather about his infertility, Jordan would probably have to experience at least three assassinations on his way to work every day!

Jordan asked, “Did he take the initiative to look for you? You didn’t go and beg him?”

That was different from what Hailey said.

Victoria said, “How could I have gone to beg him? Wouldn’t that make you upset? I said that I don’t care even if I have to end up begging on the streets with you in New York City!”

Jordan finally felt a lot less sad. It turned out that Russell was the one who had taken the initiative to contact Victoria!

Victoria did not take the initiative to do anything!

“Why didn’t you answer my call just now then? When I tried to call you again, you switched off your cell phone. What… were you doing at that time?”

Jordan asked straightforwardly.

Victoria said, “Did you call me? I didn’t know. My cell phone had been on the table the entire time, and I didn’t even know it was switched off. I thought it was out of battery.”

“Oh, I see, it could have been Cayden! He keeps coming up to me and giving me a toast.”

“Honey, believe me, I’ve just been at a dinner, and we weren’t the only ones there. There were also people like Arthur, Shane, and Cayden Huxley. I swear to God that I didn’t do anything except eat with him!”

Victoria lifted the finger of her right hand.

Jordan grabbed her slender outstretched finger with a smile on his face and said, “I believe you.”

Jordan knew that Victoria would never betray him, unlike Hailey!

After the truth came to light, Jordan was elated!

However, after being happy, Jordan was overwhelmed with a sense of guilt!

Reason being Hailey took advantage and secretly kissed Jordan a few times when he was helping her up.

Fortunately, Hailey was two months pregnant, and intercourse would result in a high risk of miscarriage.

Hence, Hailey restrained herself.

That was probably the only thing Jordan felt fortunate about. If Hailey was not pregnant, it was hard to guarantee what would have happened just now.

Jordan thought about the matter between him and Hailey just now, but he chose not to tell Victoria about it.

His feelings for Victoria were the same, and telling her about it would only make her miserable!

Jordan swore that he would definitely make it up to Victoria.

Jordan recovered from his senses and asked, “You haven’t seen him in seven years before this, right? How do you feel after meeting him again?”

Chapter 188: Jordan Wants To Meet Russell!

Jordan hadn’t had the time to investigate Russell.

However, he was rather powerful ten years ago, and now, he had become the richest man in Houston. He must be quite a capable person.

Many women tend to admire competent men like him very much.

Jordan said, “When your family was going through the toughest time ten years ago, he stood forth to help you. Now that you’re at rock bottom and at your wits’ end, he has appeared again.”

“You must think he’s a great savior of your life, huh?”

Jordan’s words were full of jealousy, but he was no longer in any place to be upset at Victoria.

Victoria could tell that Jordan was jealous.

She said in a tender voice, “I’m indeed very grateful to him for all the help that he has given me in the past ten years.”

“If it wasn’t for him, I might have just married a random person and make do with a monthly salary of a couple of thousands of dollars. I’d probably be squeezing my way into the subway to work every day and go home to a long list of household chores to do, like doing the laundry, cooking, and taking care of my kids. I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to meet you.”

“Although I was once his lover for three years, he feels like a complete stranger to me now, and I don’t feel anything for him at all.”

Jordan asked, “Really?”

Victoria exclaimed with a smile, “Of course. He’s so old, and his hair is all white now. He’ll probably go bald in another two years or so. He can’t compare to you at all. How can I fall for anyone else when I have such a handsome boyfriend!?!”

“Silly Honey, don’t be jealous anymore, okay?”

Victoria started coaxing Jordan like a little girl.

In fact, Jordan had also stopped being angry long ago because the outcome he had expected was far more severe than the truth.

Jordan was very confident in his physical appearance because he was younger, fitter, and much more handsome than Russell!

Even though he might be more affluent than Jordan now, Jordan was confident that he would trump him!

The richest man in Houston? That was nothing to Jordan!

Of course, Russell had been dominating the business world for decades, and with his knowledge, wit, and social abilities were far superior to Jordan.

Russell had not only helped Victoria this time but also indirectly helped Jordan resolve the conflict between Cayden and Jordan.

Moreover, he did not ask Victoria to sleep with him or do anything overboard. He was just helping her unconditionally.

Jordan felt that Russell was either really a great guy or just far-sighted and had a meticulous mind.

He really wanted to meet him!

Jordan said, “Victoria, that ex of yours gave us such a huge favor. I’d like to treat him to a meal to thank him, what do you think?”

Victoria was a little surprised. “You want to meet him?”

Jordan nodded with a faint smile on his face.

Women generally wouldn’t let their boyfriends meet their exes for fear that they would make them jealous.

Russell was now an incredibly accomplished man who had a successful career. Victoria was afraid that Russell would make things hard for Jordan during the meal.

However, Jordan took the initiative to suggest that idea so Victoria couldn’t turn him down.

If Victoria refuted, Jordan might think that something was going on between Jordan and Victoria. Their relationship wasn’t open and aboveboard like she had said.

Otherwise, why can’t he meet Russell?

“Okay.” Victoria agreed.

“Let’s watch TV for a while. I’ve refreshed again after drinking the hangover tea that you made me,” Victoria said.

“Sure.”

Victoria smiled and got up. She then turned on the TV and returned to the couch, where Jordan put his arm around her as they watched TV.

It so happened that New York City TV was airing a popular TV series that Victoria’s favorite actor was starring in as the male lead.

Neither of them had seen the drama series, and they were both captivated after watching for a few minutes.

The story between the male and female protagonists was very similar to Jordan and Victoria’s current situation.

The male lead was penniless, while the female lead was the senior executive of a rich and beautiful company, just like Victoria.

Like Victoria, she was also the lover of a rich and older man.

It just so happens that the rich and the older man had returned in this episode in a bid to woo the female lead again. He even took the initiative to treat the male lead to a meal.

When Victoria saw the dinner scene, she was so nervous that she stiffened in Jordan’s arms, as if the men in the scene were Jordan and Russell!

In the scene, the richer old man said to the male lead, “You don’t deserve to be with Jenna (female lead) at all. She’ll just be lonely with you.”

“I own a company. How can you compare to me?”

The meal was set in an upscale Western restaurant. The male lead didn’t drink any wine and was just drinking cheap beer instead.

He had a low self-esteem, and kept chugging beer as he bickered with the rich man indignantly.

In the end, he downed the entire bottle and proudly tossed his money onto the table. After saying, “keep the change,” he left.

Due to the fact that he had drunk too much, he couldn’t help but throw up.

The rich old man left suavely in his Mercedes Benz S65.

When she saw this, Victoria couldn’t help but feel heartbroken!

The plot of this drama was way too similar to her current situation with Jordan and Russell!

Victoria and the female lead were both senior executives of an established company, just like the female lead. On the other hand, Russell was also a rich and experienced man much older and had made the female lead his mistress. Even the cars they drove were of the same make and model!

She was afraid that the scene during Jordan and Russell’s meeting would be the same as in the drama. She was fearful that Jordan would chug wine after being Ruseeling spiting him and make her feel upset!

“Jordan, I don’t think you should have a meal with him.”

Victoria suddenly turned off the TV and then looked at Jordan.

With a faint smile, Jordan said, “Why? Are you worried that I’ll be like the male lead of the TV show, develop an inferiority complex in front of your ex-lover, and then put on a strong front? Do you think I’ll be dejected?”

Victoria did not answer, but she was indeed worried about that.

Jordan was now penniless while Russell was a multi-billionaire. Jordan was a man with a strong sense of pride, so she was confident that he’d feel inferior to Russell!

Jordan smiled and said, “Don’t you forget that not everyone knows about my expulsion from the Steele family. I can still use my status as the scion of the Steele family to pretend in front of your ex.”

“If he wants to flaunt his wealth in front of me, he’ll definitely take a huge blow.”

Victoria chuckled and suddenly recalled that some time ago, Jordan had had a video call with the owner of Louis Vuitton, which shocked Stella speechless.

Victoria nodded and said, “Yes, when the time comes, you can have another video call with the boss of Louis Vuitton to show him how impressive you are. Let’s show him that my boyfriend’s social circle is full of bigwigs that even he doesn’t know!”

Victoria could now rest assured and let Jordan meet Russell.

Russell had always looked down on Jordan, thinking he was just a courier deliverer.

Victoria also wanted to let Russell know that her boyfriend was not a good-for-nothing but a very outstanding man!

She would tell him to forget about marrying her in six months!

Chapter 189: Russell Steals The Limelight!

In the villa beside Jordan and Victoria.

Under the escort of his bodyguard, Cayden returned home in a drunken stupor with a gleeful smile on his face.

As soon as he pushed open the door, he said to Hailey, “Haha, he’s been made a cuckold!”

Hailey had a guilty conscience because she had just used Jordan to get back at Cayden while he wasn’t at home.

“What… What are you talking about?”

Hailey was watching TV in the living room, and when she saw that Cayden had returned, she switched off the TV.

Cayden laughed and said, “I said that punk Jordan has been made a cuckold again. His life is tragic, haha poor child, doesn’t he know what he’s like?”

“He would be fine if he just dated a random girl, but he just had to date gorgeous beauties like you and Victoria Clarke. Haha, who would be made a cuckold if not him?”

“Isn’t there a saying on the Internet? Penniless men shouldn’t marry beautiful women…”

Cayden said drunkenly. He had already sat down beside Hailey and was trying to hug her.

Hailey was pregnant, and she was repulsed by the odor of alcohol that Cayden was reeking off, so she pushed him away.

“How would I know? Your hand is still injured. Why did you still drink so much?”

“By the way, you said Victoria checked into a room with that Russell?”

Cayden shook his head and said, “No, Russell is in his fifties, and he was exhausted after drinking some wine. Even if they went to the hotel, he must have dozed off as soon as he lied down on the bed.”

“Victoria is back. That woman can really drink. My brother and I tried to get her drunk, but she didn’t get drunk at all even after Shane and I puked twice.”

“Mm…”

As Cayden spoke, he wanted to puke again.

Hailey quickly pulled him to the bathroom.

Hailey looked at Cayden kneeling by the toilet bowl and throwing up with a disgusted look on her face.

Hailey secretly muttered, “I’m really useless! How could I have been so blind as to fall for him at that time?”

“It took me three marriages to realize that Jordan is still the best…”

Hailey couldn’t help but look back on what she had just done with Jordan again, and a gleeful smile appeared on her face.

At eight o’clock the following day, Jordan and Victoria had breakfast together. Jordan skipped work today because he had many arrangements to make.

While eating breakfast, Victoria looked at her cell phone.

Jordan glanced at Victoria’s phone screen and saw that she was browsing some restaurants on the Internet. He asked, “What are you looking at?”

Victoria said, “Don’t you want to treat Russell to dinner today? I’ll help you choose a restaurant. That person is very picky. He will look down on you if the restaurant you choose is too mediocre.”

Victoria said that Jordan didn’t have to worry about the money because she would transfer him the funds for a tab at any of the most expensive restaurants in New York City.

Jordan smiled and said, “That’s not necessary. I’ve already picked a restaurant.”

“Huh? When did you choose it? Which restaurant did you reserve seats at?” Victoria put down her phone and asked.

Jordan said, “Hudson River.”

Victoria was not surprised, “Oh, it’s that restaurant area by the river. I wanted to book a seat there too. Which restaurant did you pick?”

Jordan put down his cutlery and explained, “It’s not a restaurant by the river but on the river itself.”

“On the river? Is there any restaurant above the water?” Victoria was instantly confused.

“We’ll be having dinner on a yacht,” Jordan said.

Victoria then came to a sudden realization. “Oh, I know, it’s like one of those dinner cruises on the river, right? Let’s see, it seems that you can also rent a private yacht there. It’s pretty costly, but you don’t have to worry about the money. Since you like it, let’s book a place there!”

Victoria felt that the place Jordan had chosen was quite creative.

Enjoying one of the most beautiful night views in the world while enjoying the food was definitely a high-end lifestyle that Russell might not have experienced either.

Thus, Victoria proceeded to call Russell.

“Hey, you didn’t drink too much yesterday, did you?” Victoria asked.

Russell had the habit of waking up early and had already started working in the presidential suite of the Peninsula Hotel at this moment.

“Oh, no, it’s been too long since I saw you, and I had a good time drinking with you.”

Russell took off his nearsighted glasses and looked out the window.

“Well, my boyfriend wants to treat you to dinner to thank you for helping him make peace with the Huxleys. Do you have time?” Victoria asked.

After she asked that question, she was actually hoping that he wouldn’t say yes.

She knew that Russell, a person with plenty of life experience, had too many ways to deal with a youngster like Jordan.

It was very likely that Jordan would take the initiative to break up with Victoria after the meal with Russell.

It was just like the plot of the drama they watched.

Russell, who was in the hotel, was shocked and remarked curiously, “That young chap that Victoria is dating actually has the guts to invite me to dinner?”

In fact, even if Jordan did not ask Russell out, Russell would have taken the initiative to ask him out.

Just like in dramas, these old men would have a calm talk with their younger rival in love and use all sorts of twisted logic to make them realize that they’re not worthy of a woman like Victoria in a bid to make them self-conscious and back off.

Any man who cared about his pride and dignity wouldn’t be able to stand it.

If a man lacked self-respect, he wouldn’t leave Victoria regardless of what Russell said. In that case, he would have to resort to threatening him.

Russell laughed and said, “I have time. Where?”

“Hudson River,” Victoria said.

“Oh? Hudson River? A private yacht? Or is it a sightseeing cruise with hundreds or thousands of people? If it’s the latter, I’ll pass. I’m at least the president of a listed company. I can’t afford to embarrass myself like that.”

Russell looked down on Jordan and was confident that he had no attributes except his handsome good looks. Hence, he thought that Jordan must have picked a low-class place.

Victoria said, “It’s a private yacht.”

Russell was still frowning. “You mean the type that can be rented for a few thousand dollars, right? I’ve seen those. They’re quite shabby and unhygienic. The equipment inside hasn’t been changed for years.”

“How about this? Since he wants to eat on a yacht to enjoy the beauty of the river during the meal, I will get a yacht over. I have a yacht worth 8 million. It happens to be in New York City. Let’s have dinner on my yacht tonight!”

Victoria seemed embarrassed. “Russell, my boyfriend, was the one who initiated dinner today, so he should be the one to decide on the place. What do you mean you want to drive your yacht over?”

Russell said, “Victoria, you know me, I won’t go to places that are too low-class. I’ve always been like this over the years.”

“Just spare a thought for me. Do you think a lousy yacht worth tens of thousands of dollars is worthy of my identity?”

“Cut it out. It’s my treat tonight. Just show up at Hudson River with your boyfriend. If he’s really feeling awkward, just get him to bring some wine!”

“It’s settled then. I’ll have to get going.”

After saying that, Russell hung up the phone.

Chapter 190: Ultimate Luxurious Yacht!

“Hello.”

Russell had already hung up, and he could tell from Victoria’s expression that she wasn’t satisfied with the outcome of this phone conversation.

Russell was a multi-billionaire, and Victoria did not want him to flaunt his wealth and power in front of Jordan.

Otherwise, any man would develop an inferiority complex!

Victoria came to the kitchen, where Jordan placed the plates and bowls he had just used inside the automatic dishwasher.

Jordan turned around to see that it was Victoria standing behind him. He asked, “Are you done with the phone call?”

Victoria nodded, but she didn’t seem happy at all.

“Jordan, Russell is a bit of a clean freak, and he thinks that the yacht you prepared isn’t good enough, so he plans to drive his yacht over.”

“Is it okay if we have dinner in his yacht tonight? We can bring some expensive wine over.”

‘He thinks the yacht I’m going to prepare won’t be good enough?’

‘Is he afraid that the yacht I prepare won’t be worthy of his status as the richest man in Houston?’

“Hah.”

Jordan chuckled in disdain.

The ignorant Russell had no idea what kind of a yacht Jordan had prepared for this evening!

‘He wants to drive his yacht over to Hudson River?’

‘Hah, can he do that?’

Jordan had already chartered the Hudson River for the night!

“Are you angry? Why don’t we go tonight?”

Seeing that Jordan was sneering, Victoria knew that he must be displeased with Russell for doing so.

Jordan said, “Oh, I’m fine. Let’s talk about it when we get there tonight. The yacht I prepared is not too bad. Maybe he’ll like it.”

In fact, Jordan had already prepared everything bright early in the morning.

However, Jordan wanted to surprise Victoria at night, so he decided not to tell her for the time being.

At 5.30 pm at the pier of Hudson river.

One significant advantage of New York City was the beauty of the Hudson River.

Hence, boarding a boat on the Hudson River at night to admire the beautiful scenery and world-class skyline was a must-do for all tourists and visitors of New York City.

There would be a long queue at the pier of Hudson from 5.30 pm onwards every day.

However, although there were also many people today, none of them were lined up. Instead, they were all gathered together and clamoring incessantly.

“What’s going on!?! Why are there no ticket sales today?”

“I want to buy a cruise ticket!”

“What’s the point of buying tickets when there isn’t a single boat that we can board!?”

Many people gathered together. They all wanted to get tickets for a sightseeing cruise and enjoy the beautiful river view with their friends, lovers, and family members.

However, there were no ticket sales today.

“Why are there no ticket sales today? There must be an explanation!”

“I heard that the Hudson River is not open to any boats or ships today because it seems to have been chartered by the scion of a certain wealthy family!”

“Damn, who the heck is that rich!?! He could actually charter Hudson River?!”

There would be several cruise ships here every night, and there were sponsored advertisement posters plastered all over them. Some of the sponsors include major banks and insurance companies.

For the sake of chartering the entire Hudson River to prevent tourists from disturbing him and Victoria, Jordan spent close to a million dollars on compensating those advertisers and sponsors for their losses!

Of course, this money was considered peanuts to Jordan.

At this moment, Russell, who was discussing business with his partner, also received a phone call.

“Mr. Miller, your yacht is prohibited from sailing into the Hudson River.”

Remaining calm and composed, Russell said, “Oh, it’s alright, I’ll just inform the superiors. You guys just have to wait there for a few minutes.”

However, after hanging up, Russell first called Victoria.

“Victoria!”

“Huh? What’s wrong? We have an appointment at eight o’clock. Are you going to postpone it again?”

“Oh, no, I can arrive at eight o’clock sharp, but I’ve just received news that Hudson River is closed to the public today, and all sightseeing cruises, including private yachts, are prohibited from entering.”

“Huh?”

Victoria, who didn’t know the truth, also gasped in shock.

Russell said, “You guys can pick another place. Send me the name and location of the restaurant after you’ve made up your mind.”

After hanging up, Russell shook his head and lamented how strange it was.

At 7.30 pm, Jordan and Victoria arrived at the pier of the Hudson River, hand in hand.

It was late at night, and there were no stars in the sky, but stars were utterly unnecessary in this prosperous place.

Well, stars were not as gorgeous as the bright lights of the skyscrapers towering into the clouds. For many, those luxurious and glittering lights were the most beautiful stars.

“Jordan, why did you still take me here? Russell said that this place is closed to the public today, and even his yacht can’t enter. We’d better quickly choose a place. Russell should be arriving soon.”

Clad in a red dress, Victoria looked noble and charming. Her stilettos were relatively high today, and due to the angle, she seemed to be as tall as Jordan, or even a bit taller than him.

Victoria knew that Russell was fastidious about time.

If Jordan had yet to choose a restaurant by their meeting time at eight and the three of them would have to end up slowly searching for a place to eat. Russell would definitely be displeased.

To him, time is money, and he would be absolutely disgusted by Jordan’s behavior. He would even look down on him because of that.

He might also make callous remarks or highlight the stark contrast between the value of time for the rich and for the poor.

Jordan held Victoria’s hand tightly without letting go. Still wearing a smile on his face, he was immersed in the comfortable feeling of enjoying the cool breeze.

“Victoria, I’ve been here several times before with Hailey, and there would be lots of people all the time. I really hate crowds.”

“Since the river is closed to the public today, it’s a lot less crowded. That’s great!”

Seeing how relaxed Jordan was, Victoria panicked.

She clipped anxiously, “Quickly choose a place to eat at!”

Jordan smiled without saying anything.

He also attached great importance to the meal today. Instead of his usual casual outfit, he opted for designer business wear.

After another 20 minutes, Russell arrived at 7.50 pm.

Russell was dressed well, and he had an imposing aura. He was obviously a wealthy person.

“Russell, let me introduce my boyfriend, Jordan.”

“Jordan, this is Russell Miller, the president of Millennial Limited.”

Victoria stepped forward and took the initiative to introduce the two men to each other.

The two had a friendly handshake, their eyes full of murderous intent for each other!

Russell quickly let go and said with a look of displeasure, “I told you, there are restrictions today, and no yachts are allowed to enter. Yet, you still made me come here for nothing.”

“Hey, Jordan, your time is not worth much, but do you know how much money I’ll lose if you waste at least half an hour of my time?”

At that very moment, an incredibly luxurious yacht, which no one had ever seen, appeared on the Hudson River!

It sparked a huge commotion as the crowd by the river began screaming!
