The Abandoned Husband Dominates Chapter 191-195

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!

Chapter 192: Hailey’s Envy!

Russell was a cunning and shrewd businessman who had been in society for years, so he thought it would be a piece of cake for him to deal with a punk like Jordan!

In fact, Victoria did not know that Russell had made another pretty college student his mistress after leaving him because she couldn’t stand the loneliness.

The college student had a boyfriend at that time, so the experienced Russell asked him out.

In just a few words, the young man from an average family burst into tears immediately. He took the initiative to give up on the girl.

Hence, in Russell’s opinion, Jordan would soon start doubting life after being attacked by him, just like that young man.

However, now, the scenario was quite the opposite!

Victoria jumped for joy when they reached the pool, and she looked in front of her in surprise.

“Wow, the design of the pool is so beautiful. The color of the water is the same as that of the sea. That’s such a cool visual effect!”

“That’s simple. If you want to look at the sea on the yacht, we can take the yacht to the island and return it to that bigwig before boarding a plane back,” Jordan said with a smile.

Victoria quickly removed her stilettos and made her way up the stone stairs with a blissful smile on her face. “Jordan, will you take a photo of my back view?”

“Sure.”

Jordan took out his phone and took a picture of Victoria’s back.

Victoria swept her beautiful long tresses to the side and held her long skirt with both hands, revealing her long and fair legs. Her gorgeous figure and blurry back made Jordan and Russell mesmerized!

“Victoria…”

Russell watched in awe as Victoria got into various poses for the camera, and he couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.

He recalled those three years when Victoria belonged to him again. Still, in those three years, Victoria was totally like a little girl who lacked the mature femininity she now had.

‘I must get her back! Victoria is mine!’

Russell secretly swore.

At this moment, Jordan and Russell weren’t the only ones staring at Victoria. The tourists and onlookers by the river were gawking at her too!

Some even picked up their binoculars!

“Oh my God, there’s a really pretty young lady coming up on the deck, and there’s a guy taking pictures of her! An old man is standing behind them. He’s probably her father. What a rich family!”

“Give me the binoculars. Let me take a look too!”

Soon, there was a commotion by the river.

“Quick, look, the nation’s husband is here!”

“Isn’t that the rich scion, Mr. Quill? He’s here too. Why are all the wealthy scions here!?!”

“Haha, it seems that the richest scions aren’t them but that young man on the yacht! Look, they’re all snapping photos of the yacht, green with envy!”

The sudden appearance of the luxurious superyacht in New York had indeed attracted a lot of wealthy scions and heiresses.

At this moment, Hailey, who was at Jade Villa, also saw the yacht in photos posted by others on Instagram.

“Wow, Cayden, come and check this out. The world’s first superyacht, worth close to a billion dollars, has appeared on the Hudson River! It’s stunning. Quickly take me to see it.”

Hailey was a materialistic woman, and now that the most luxurious yacht in the world had appeared in New York City, she definitely wanted to go there to take a look in real life since she had nothing else to do at home anyway.

“Is that so?” Cayden took a glance and was immediately interested. “Doesn’t that yacht belong to Bill Gates? Is he here in New York?”

Hailey asked, “Cayden, are the Huxleys friends with Bill Gates?”

Cayden said with an awkward smile, “How could we have the opportunity to know the Gates…”

Hailey was slightly disappointed, but she wasn’t surprised.

“Take me there quickly. I want to see it.”

Cayden nodded his head in agreement and said, “Okay, I’ll call the bodyguard and get him to come over and pick us up.”

Hailey said eagerly, “What for? We’re just making a trip to the Hudson River. That celebrity mistress of yours won’t have any crazy fans, rest assured.”

Ever since Cayden got slashed by Maggie’s fans at his wedding, he would bring his bodyguards with him wherever he went. In fact, he would even get nightmares of getting killed.

Jordan’s previous revenge had made Cayden feel extremely upset.

“Okay.” Cayden had no choice but to drive Hailey there despite his injured hand.

On the Aqua yacht on the Hudson River.

Russell stood dumbfounded for several minutes and finally couldn’t help but say, “Are we still going to have dinner or not? If you like taking photos so much, let’s meet up another day!”

Victoria hurriedly put on her shoes and said, “Sorry, I just couldn’t help myself and wanted to take more photos because this place is too beautiful.”

Victoria gazed at Jordan.

Jordan nodded and took them to the restaurant on the floor below.

The restaurant was also incredibly luxurious, and the beautiful view of the Hudson River could still be seen through the window.

As soon as they sat down, a waiter walked up with a menu and asked, “Sir, Ma’am, is there anything you need?”

Russell did not order and instead asked, “Were you guys hired by the owner of this yacht?”

The waiter nodded with a smile and answered, “Yes.”

Russell continued to ask, “Why isn’t he here today?”

They could tell that Russell was trying to figure out how Jordan got this yacht through the waiter.

He thought that the owner had initially planned to bring the yacht over, and Jordan had merely bribed the crew on it.

Otherwise, a courier delivery man can never afford to rent Aqua for a night even if he works as a deliveryman for the rest of his life.

The waiter answered, “He’s away on a trip with his daughter, and he decided not to come along because he’s afraid of disturbing Mr. Steele’s gathering with his friends.”

After saying that, the waiter turned his head to look at Jordan again, “However, Mr. Gates has asked me to convey to you that he and his daughter would very much like to meet you.”

Russell was quite surprised to hear that.

“Is Jordan actually worth that?”

Russell was flustered and extremely uncomfortable because he felt that he had crossed the Rubicon. He had just ordered a few random dishes.

After a while, the waiter filled their glasses with wine and let them breathe for a while.

Jordan then picked up his glass of wine and looked at Russell. “Mr. Miller, thank you for helping Victoria, and I resolve the conflict with the Huxleys. Here’s a toast from me to you.”

However, Russell looked embarrassed and did not raise his glass!

Chapter 193: Uncle Russell Is So Suave!

Russell’s hostility towards Jordan made Victoria highly displeased.

In her impression, Russell was not such an ungracious person, so she wondered if he had developed an inferiority complex because of Jordan.

Victoria said, “Mr. Miller, my boyfriend knows that you’ve given me a lot of help, and he’s also aware of your noble status. To make sure tonight’s dinner is worthy of your status, he painstakingly went to the trouble of renting the most expensive yacht in the world to give you a treat in, to express his gratitude to you.”

“Acting in such an unceremonious manner doesn’t seem to be in line with your identity as the president of a listed company. Shouldn’t you be more gracious?”

Russell looked at Jordan with a sullen expression. He said, “Jordan Steele, since you’re so capable and you even managed to rent the most expensive yacht in the world, why didn’t you do anything when the Huxleys were targeting Victoria?”

“You just watched Victoria go for interviews at one company after another, only to fail again and again. You watched her get her heart broken again and again. Call yourself her boyfriend!”

Hearing Russell’s words, Victoria felt extremely conflicted, and she said, “It’s not what you think. It’s not that Jordan doesn’t care about me…”

Victoria wanted to speak up for Jordan because she knew that Jordan was just leveraging on the power of the Steeles to set up such a lavish meal this evening. It was actually all just an act.

She believed that he had managed to do it using his former identity as the scion of the Steele family.

Meanwhile, Jordan would need to have real money to deal with the Huxleys. Since he had been kicked out of the family, he naturally couldn’t do it.

However, what Victoria did not know was that Jordan was indeed able to stop the Huxleys by revealing his identity, just as Russell said, but he chose not to do so.

Jordan put down his glass of wine and said coldly, “Mr. Miller, it seems that you don’t like dining on a yacht. In this case, I won’t force you either. I’ll have the waiter send you to the pier.”

Jordan didn’t have to explain that to Russell at all. If he was competent, he could totally investigate it himself.

Russell was merely the richest man in Houston whom Jordan felt had no right to find out about his secret if he didn’t have the means to find out himself.

Billionaires may be supreme existences to look up to and curry favor with in the eyes of ordinary people. Even the government officials would be very respectful towards them.

However, in Jordan’s eyes, Russell was just like a fly that could be killed at any time.

Victoria and Russell were both a bit surprised that Jordan had hinted for Russell to leave so soon.

Russell had finally met Victoria’s boyfriend and his agenda today was clearly to destroy Jordan’s confidence.

Since he had yet to achieve his agenda, how could Russell leave just like that?

Besides, Russell wanted to slowly find out from Jordan just how he managed to rent the yacht.

“Hahahahah…”

Russell, who was initially serious, suddenly burst into laughter before turning to look at Victoria.

“Victoria, you’re indeed worthy of being someone I taught. The boyfriend you chose is unique and has a strong personality. I like him!”

“Come on, Jordan, let’s toast!”

Russell took the initiative to raise his glass at Jordan.

Jordan, too didn’t say anything. Instead, he raised his wine glass, and the three of them downed their drinks. Gradually, they began to chat.

Hudson River.

Everyone was stunned by the sudden appearance of Aqua, the first and most luxurious superyacht in the world!

The citizens of New York City all came over to surround the yacht to see what it was like.

Hailey and Cayden had also arrived.

Hailey squeezed through the crowd and went to the innermost guardrail, her heart filled with excitement as she watched the yacht sail slowly on the Hudson River.

“Oh my God, this yacht is so beautiful, and it’s in the shade of green that I like! If in the daytime where the sun is shining brightly, and it is juxtaposed against the color of the water, this green would definitely be beautiful.”

Hailey liked the color green, and so did Jordan at first, but he soon disliked the color because of Hailey.

He wondered why the yacht was chosen to be in that color.

“Cayden, Cayden, quickly get me some binoculars. I want to see who is actually inside the yacht.”

Hailey kept urging Cayden.

Cayden wore a mask and sunglasses even though it was late at night because he was afraid that Maggie’s fans would recognize him and beat him up.

He walked to the side and patted a young man who had a pair of binoculars on his shoulder and asked, “Hey buddy, can I borrow your binoculars?”

The boy waved his hand impatiently and refuted, “No, no, I’m using them at the moment. The interior of this yacht is really luxurious.”

Cayden said, “I’ll pay $1500 for your binoculars. Will you sell them to me?”

The young man immediately put down the binoculars and looked at Cayden. “$1500? Are you sure?”

Cayden did not want to continue wasting his breath. “Take out your cell phone. I’ll transfer it to you.”

His binoculars cost only about $200. Since Cayden was willing to spend nearly ten times the price, the young man was naturally keen to sell it to him.

After buying the binoculars, Cayden handed them to Hailey.

Hailey quickly grabbed it and used it to look at the yacht.

“I wonder what the people inside the yacht look like.”

Hailey seemed to be really excited about seeing a rich person.

She happened to see Jordan, Victoria, and Russell eating.

Hailey was stunned speechless right on the spot!

“It… it’s Jordan and Victoria!”

Hailey froze in shock. ‘Why are Jordan and Victoria on the yacht?’

‘How did the two of them end up on such a luxurious yacht?’

‘Why am I just standing by the river and watching?’

Hailey was really upset because she had divorced Jordan, only because she thought that her future life would worsen if she stayed with him.

In the end, after their divorce, Jordan was on a luxurious yacht while she was standing on the shore and watching them from afar.

“What? Are you serious?”

After hearing what Hailey said, Cayden, too, picked up his binoculars immediately to look at the yacht.

He did see Jordan and Victoria, but he also saw Russell!

Cayden seemed to have had an epiphany as he exclaimed, “Oh, I know, this yacht must have been brought here by Russell Miller!”

“Russell Miller? You mean that middle-aged man who had dinner with Jordan and Victoria, and who’s also your grandfather’s sworn brother?”

Hailey had also seen Russell on the yacht, but she didn’t know who he was.

Cayden nodded and said, “Yes, that’s him.”

“Does this yacht belong to him?” Hailey asked.

Cayden nodded and said, “It must be the case. Remember I told you that Russell wants to marry Victoria? Well, to do that, he would have to make Jordan and Victoria break up first.”

“So, he must have taken the initiative to invite Jordan to dinner and even set up such a lavish scene by getting the most luxurious yacht in the world.”

“And what did he do that for? He just wants to let Jordan see how capable he is!”

“Haha, old Miller is really something. He’s already fifty, but he’s gone to such great lengths to impress a woman. I bet Jordan is suffering from such a huge inferiority complex that he doesn’t dare to speak anymore. Haha.”

Hailey knew that Russell was extremely wealthy and could totally afford the yacht regardless of its cost.

Hence, Hailey also felt that Cayden’s analysis was correct.

She patted Cayden gently on the shoulder before saying, “What old Miller? You’re so rude. Grandpa will definitely chide you if he hears this. You should be calling him Uncle Russell!”

Afterward, Hailey picked up the binoculars again and looked at the yacht.

This time, she was no longer looking at Jordan and Victoria. Instead, she was gawking at Russell.

“Uncle Russell is so handsome!” Hailey praised.

Chapter 194: Must Men Provide For Women?

Cayden said with a look of disdain, “Handsome? My foot. He’s already so old. Even when he was younger, he wasn’t considered handsome either!”

In Cayden’s opinion, Russell’s looks were rather average, and he was being nice enough by not calling him ugly.

Cayden couldn’t understand why Hailey would praise Russell for his handsomeness.

1

Hailey retorted, “What do you know? A man’s suaveness is not only based on his looks. Look at Uncle Russell’s imposing aura and the domineering way he’s taking control of the situation at the dining table. He’s so charming!”

When Hailey looked over just now, she didn’t think that Russell carried the charm of a mature and domineering man.

After hearing Cayden’s introduction of Russell, she suddenly felt that he had lots of positive attributes.

Many women tend to find rich and powerful men exceptionally charming and attractive even though they are average-looking or ugly.

The yacht was moving slowly, and soon, Hailey could no longer see Jordan and the others from the spot she was standing at.

Hailey put down the binoculars and secretly thought, ‘Poor Jordan, he’s going to be humiliated by Russell today. I wonder if he’ll break up with Victoria when he returns tonight.’

‘If he breaks up with Victoria, I can tell him not to leave New York City. Well, Cayden goes out early and comes home late at night every day. It’s not a bad idea to look for Jordan whenever I’m bored.’

Hailey began to develop the idea of using Jordan as a backup lover again.

On the yacht.

The trio was now chatting and laughing. Things were no longer as awkward as they were when they first met.

While cutting his steak, Russell pretended to ask casually, “Jordan, you’re so young. I would have thought that you’re still a student if I didn’t know you.”

“By the way, which college did you go to?”

“Stanford.”

In fact, Jordan had attended several other universities, and he majored in a different subject at each one. He studied business administration at Stanford, music at Berkeley, and design at ESMOD.

He was taught by the best teachers at the top universities in the world.

However, since Russell was a businessman, Jordan said that he attended university at Stanford.

Russell was stunned. “Oh, my daughter went to the same school as you. But since you graduated from a prestigious university, why did you end up being a courier delivery man?”

“There may be university graduates everywhere in New York, and finding a job here may be tough, but Stanford is quite a competitive university.”

Jordan answered truthfully, “I’ve only studied there before, but I didn’t graduate with a degree.”

Unlike other students, Jordan had no time to waste, given his mode of education.

In fact, he even skipped the admission procedure and went straight to class. He would leave school immediately after class too.

A degree from Stanford University was just a piece of scrap paper with no prestige to speak of in the eyes of the Steeles.

“You didn’t graduate?”

Russell chuckled and said, “You should go back to school then! It’s hard for you to make a living without a degree these days. You’re still so young. If you continue to get a graduate degree and then a doctorate, you will surely lead a very stable life in the future.”

“If you do, Victoria will feel safe about dating you.”

Victoria was now 30 years old, and if Jordan left to pursue an education now, she would be almost 40 years old by the time he returned!

‘Can she afford to wait?’

‘A normal woman would have married someone before she grows too old!’

Russell looked like he was making considerations for his own good, but he harbored lots of scheming thoughts.

Jordan smiled and said, “We’re leading a very stable life now.”

Russell smiled and asked, “Are you? You earn only a couple of thousands of dollars a month. You probably can’t even afford to get Victoria some branded lipsticks, huh?”

Victoria took the initiative to speak. “I don’t need him to buy me any lipstick.”

Jordan looked at Russell and said, “Victoria can buy her own lipsticks. I don’t have to worry about that. Men and women are equal. Who says that men must provide for women?”

Russell laughed and shook his head. “Young man, I really didn’t expect you to have such a terrifying and irresponsible mindset. Men providing for women has always been the natural order of things since ancient times.”

“What kind of man is a man who can’t provide for a woman!?!”

“Moreover, Victoria is so beautiful. Can you bear to make her work hard every day to be the sole breadwinner of the family?”

Jordan took a sip of wine and said, “Mr. Miller, are you trying to say that a beautiful woman should be kept at home with dozens of servants waiting on her and do nothing all day?”

“Do you think Victoria is the kind of woman who would be willing to stay at home as a housewife?”

Russell replied assertively, “It’s precisely because Victoria is a capable woman that you must be even more capable to be worthy of her and give her happiness!”

The more they talked, the more intense and heated the conversation became. Victoria began to panic a little too.

Just as she was about to stop them, Victoria’s phone rang. It was a video call request.

Victoria was an aloof and highly mighty woman. Although she had many acquaintances and friends, no one dared to drop her video calls out of the blue.

Those who would do so were usually extremely close to her.

Victoria glanced at her phone and said, “It’s Emily.”

The person who called was Victoria’s sister, Emily.

Victoria immediately accepted the video call request. Sitting beside Victoria, Jordan could also see her phone screen.

A pretty young woman wearing a flight attendant uniform appeared on Victoria’s cell phone screen.

The girl seemed to be roughly 25 years old, which was about the same age as Jordan. Her hair was tied up into a bun, and her name tag was on her uniform.

“Victoria!”

Her voice was rather cute.

“Emily, it’s rare of you to be dropping me a video call. Aren’t you on duty?”

“I just returned with my flight. I saw your picture on Instagram. It’s beautiful. Where are you now?”

“Is that Emily?”

Russell suddenly asked at this moment.

Victoria nodded and pointed her phone camera at Russell.

“Wow, Uncle Russell is here too! What are you two doing together?”

Emily clearly knew Russell, too, and she even called his name happily without any awkward feelings.

It was because Emily didn’t even know that Victoria had been Russell’s mistress back then.

Emily always thought that Russell took care of Victoria as an elder.

Russell and Emily briefly greeted each other, and it was evident that Emily still respected Russell as her father’s friend.

Victoria explained, “My boyfriend invited Uncle Russell for dinner, so we’re eating together now.”

After hearing this, Emily said excitedly, “Boyfriend? Victoria, you have a boyfriend?! Quickly show me who he is. I want to see your boyfriend!”

Emily seemed somewhat exhilarated and adorable.

Victoria had no choice but to turn her camera to Jordan.

Jordan smiled and reached his hand out to greet Vicky. “Hello, Emily.”

Emily was stunned for a moment. “Wow, Vicky, you’re dating a young hunk! Are you sure he isn’t your boy toy? How much did you spend? If one day you don’t want him anymore, can I have him? I want a boyfriend like him too!”

Jordan was speechless.

Chapter 195: Russell You Beast!

Victoria had indeed told Jordan before that her younger sister had a livelier personality than her.

In fact, Victoria was quite bubbly at first. Still, the sudden crisis faced by her family led her to drop out of school to become a businesswoman at a young age. Coupled with the fact that she had become the mistress of her father’s friend, her personality gradually began to change.

However, Emily was different. She was still young, and the moment Victoria decided to become Russell’s mistress, Emily was destined to live a carefree life.

Victoria used her body in exchange for her sister’s carefree life of luxury.

Since their parents passed, Emily became particularly dependent on Victoria, and the two shared a close-knit relationship.

Victoria said, “Emily, that’s not how you should be speaking to your future brother-in-law.”

“Jordan, ignore her. She’s just that straightforward and rude with her words.”

Jordan, of course, wasn’t offended at all. The fact that Emily was willing to joke with him meant that she liked the idea of him being her future brother-in-law.

Victoria pointed the camera at herself and said, “We’re having dinner now. Talk to you again at night.”

Emily hurriedly said, “Don’t hang up. I can tell that you’re eating at a nice place. Are you on a yacht? Stop eating now and walk around the yacht to show me what there is.”

“Uh…”

Victoria was feeling a little conflicted because she knew that her sister adored such luxurious things, and she also wanted to show her what the world’s most luxurious yacht was like

However, if she were to leave Russell, her ex, alone with her current boyfriend, Jordan, she was worried they might get into an argument.

Jordan could tell that Victoria was stuck in a dilemma, so he said, “Show her around the yacht while I chat with Mr. Miller. It’ll be fine.”

Russell grinned, thinking that his opportunity had arrived. He said, “Yeah, this is such a beautiful yacht. She’ll definitely love it.”

Victoria had just gotten onto the yacht and was relatively unfamiliar with it, so Jordan called a waiter over to act as a guide. The waiter brought Victoria to the 4D movie theater on the floor below.

After Victoria left, only Jordan and Russell were left at the dining table. Thus, they were straightforward and honest with their words as they saw no need to pretend now that they were alone.

Russell was not in a hurry. He first took a sip of wine, felt the cool breeze, and then looked at the beautiful view of the Hudson River.

He remarked in awe, “It’s great to be rich. I can do whatever I want whenever I please. I can go to any place I want to too.”

“Jordan, I actually have no prejudice against you. Please don’t be mistaken. I actually had the chance to try for another baby boy. If he had been conceived and delivered successfully, he’d probably be as old as you now.”

“I know you come from a good background, but you have to look forward in life and yearn for more instead of remaining status quo. You’re giving up on yourself by being a courier delivery man now!”

“How about this? Since you don’t want to further your education, come work for me at my company. I’ll arrange for you to take on a mid-level management job with an annual salary of $80,000, excluding other benefits. How does that sound to you?”

Russell didn’t know how Jordan got this yacht. Still, he guessed from Victoria’s expression that Jordan probably wasn’t very affluent now.

If Victoria knew that Jordan had money, she would definitely tell Russell to drop the idea of marrying her.

Jordan said with a faint smile, “Annual salary of $80,000? Haha, no thanks, but I think being a freeloader suits me more.”

Bang!

Russell flew into a rage and smacked his hand against the table.

If Jordan was an ordinary young man with low self-esteem and was obsessed with money and power, he would have long been attacked by Russell to the point of bursting into tears.

However, Jordan was different. Regardless of what Russell said, Jordan wouldn’t take his words seriously, and he even made freeloading seem like a glorious thing.

Russell barked angrily, “Jordan! Don’t you feel ashamed to be sponging off a woman and making her provide for you?”

“I will definitely not let Victoria marry such an incompetent man like you!”

Jordan was just as enraged, and he had long disliked Russell!

Jordan smacked his hand against the table and hollered, “Victoria can marry anyone she wants. Who are you to care!?!”

Russell said, “She has come this far because of my training! Her father and I are close friends, and her father entrusted me to take care of her before he passed, so of course, I’m qualified to take care of her!”

Jordan was so angry that he lost his temper right on the spot. “Screw you, bastard. How dare you mention her father, you beast?!”

“Her father asked you to take care of her before he died, and you got into her pants! Are you worthy of the word “friend”? Do you even respect your friendship with him!?!”

Jordan was utterly enraged. He initially didn’t plan to fall out with Russell so terribly. After all, the exchange of snide remarks and secret scheming throughout dinner was enough for him to get back at Russell.

However, Russell mentioned Victoria’s father and also said that he cared about her as an elder, which Jordan was absolutely disgusted by!

Russell was wealthy enough to make any woman his mistress, but he just had to pick his friend’s daughter.

While Victoria was pretty, there were also other beautiful girls in Houston.

After being scolded by Jordan, Russell also felt very ashamed.

In fact, he also felt rather sorry towards Victoria’s father because the latter had helped Russell a lot during his lifetime. Even if Victoria wasn’t his woman, he should still help her family.

Both men stood still and looked at each other.

The food and wine glasses on the table had already fallen onto the ground because of how hard they had slammed their hands onto the table.

Russell looked at the young Jordan. He was jealous of Jordan’s youth and his ability to freeload so righteously.

He could never do that because he could only ever rely on money to subdue women.

Just as the two were staring at each other, the sounds of hurried footsteps came from afar.

Jordan immediately felt that something was wrong. There was no way the crew would walk so quickly, and the sound of the footsteps suggested that they belonged to someone who was barefooted.

“Someone is coming.”

Jordan suddenly said.

“What?” Russell immediately stood back in fear.

His life was worth a lot of money, and the richer a person was, the more afraid he would be of death.

Indeed, a stranger appeared and charged towards them in less than ten seconds, soaking wet and barefooted.

Meanwhile, Jordan was already ready to fight!

However, to their surprise, the young man fell to his knees with a thud when he saw Jordan.

Jordan was curious.

The young man not only knelt down in front of Jordan but also kowtowed to Russell.

“Buddy, Uncle, please, please give me some money. I just need $20,000, and I promise I’ll return the money to you!”

While Jordan and Russell were both baffled, the crew on the yacht had already discovered that something was amiss and scurried over.

“Sorry, Mr. Steele, this man jumped into the Hudson River and climbed onto our yacht. Since he’s disturbing you, I’ll throw him into the river right now.”

The tall and burly crewman lifted the young man up with one hand.

“Wait a minute,” Russell called out to the crewman to stop him.
