The Abandoned Husband Dominates Chapter 381-390

Chapter 381

Jordan looked at Marissa and Chris’s mother before saying, “I’m Chloe’s father. Shouldn’t you be informing me before taking Chloe away?”

Chris’s mother sneered and asked, “Why do I have to inform you? Who do you think you are?”

Chris’s mother obviously despised Jordan because she knew he had no foundation and connections in DC.

Marissa also said, “Chloe has always been by her mother’s side. Chloe has to go wherever Lauren goes. Why must I inform you!?”

Jordan was extremely displeased, and he requested, “I don’t care what stupid rules the Hanks have. No matter what, I want to see my daughter every day.”

Chris’s mother refuted vehemently, “Impossible! The Hanks will never allow someone like you to enter as you please!”

“Forget about seeing Chloe for the next three days. You can request it again after we get married!”

Chris’s mother was very insistent and harsh, so Lauren couldn’t retort either. She said to Jesse, “Jesse, just bear with it for two days, okay?”

Jordan glanced at Chris’s mother in displeasure before nodding at Lauren. “Okay, I’ll send you there then.”

Lauren and Chloe were about to move into Chris’s parents’ home, but Jordan still didn’t know where they lived. He decided he had to find out their exact address.

Jordan drove Lauren’s Jeep and fetched her and Chloe to a villa cluster named Royal Mansions.

Not only was this place strategically located and expensive, but the interior of the villas was also top- notch.

The palm trees, and artificial boulders accentuated its uniqueness. It definitely cost a bomb to bring the palm trees and plantains that would usually survive only in the tropics to DC.

Arriving at a grand and posh bungalow, Jordan pulled over, knowing that it was Chris’s parents’ home because he had already seen Chris standing at the door.

Chris walked over and helped Lauren carry her luggage.

Jordan got out of the car, too.

Chris glanced at Jordan and said, “I didn’t expect you to come too. I don’t intend to let you stay for dinner.”

Jordan looked at the villa and recognized the location carefully. “I don’t intend to go inside either.”

Jordan handed the car keys back to Lauren and said, “I’m leaving. Call me if you need anything.”

He then waved goodbye to Chloe and said, “Baby, remember to call me when you miss me.”

“Okay, bye bye, Daddy.”

Chloe was carrying a little backpack, looking extremely adorable.

Jordan looked at Chloe’s lovely face and couldn’t help but pinch her little face again.

‘How adorable. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to see her for the next two days. If Chloe gets mistreated here, I won’t spare the Hanks!’

“Okay, quickly head inside. It’s time to eat!”

Chris’s mother said loudly, looking at Chloe scornfully.

Lauren waved her hand at Jordan before taking Chloe’s hand and bringing her inside.

After entering the living room and walking to the dining hall, Chloe saw the spread of food on the dining table. The little glutton then scurried over and reached her hand out for a bread roll.

However, Chloe was just about to do so. Chris’s mother slapped her hand.

“Have you washed your hands? You’re grabbing it with them just like that! Why don’t you have any manners at all!?”

Chris’s mother lashed out at Chloe and began to lecture her.

This time, the blow was so hard that Chloe immediately started sobbing with tears in her eyes.

Lauren hurried over and hugged Chloe. “Chloe, don’t cry. Let’s go get your hands washed. You can eat only after your hands are washed. Have you forgotten?”

Lauren took Chloe to get her hands washed before sitting on the chair. Chloe tried to take the bread roll with her hand again, but Chris’s mother stopped her again.

“No one is allowed to eat before everyone is seated!”

It turned out that Chris’s father was still upstairs. A maid went upstairs to invite him to come downstairs. Soon, a tall and domineering middle-aged man made his way down the stairs.

“Lauren’s here.”

The man nodded at Lauren, smilingly.

“Hello, Uncle Dominic,” Lauren greeted respectfully.

He knew the Hanks earned their present glory, largely because of Chris’s father, who had a high status in DC.

After Chris’s father sat down, Chris’s mother said, “Lauren, don’t eat yet. Scoop a bowl of soup for each of us.”

Lauren asked, “Isn’t there a maid here?”

In the Howard family, the servants were usually the ones to scoop the soup and stuff.

The Hanks were wealthy and powerful enough to have lots of servants. There was no need for Lauren to do that at all.

Chris’s mother said, “This is the rule of our family. The daughter-in-law must serve the soup and you have to do so for every single meal when you live with Chris in the future. You must serve his meals to him.”

At this juncture, Chloe suddenly interjected, “Daddy’s always the one who serves our meals back at Mommy’s place!”

Chris’s mother humphed coldly and exclaimed, “Your father is a commoner. How can he compare with the Hanks? Since he’s competent, of course he has to serve the meals!”

Chloe immediately argued, “My father is very competent!”

Chris’s parents immediately frowned. Lauren didn’t want to make a scene as soon as they entered, so she quickly said, “Okay, I’ll go serve the food.”

Lauren gave Chris’s parents and Chris a bowl of soup each, and then one for Chloe. She then began to eat.

The Hanks were very picky and had strict requirements for their food, which was probably the reason for their robust figures.

“You’re not allowed to make so much noise when you’re eating!”

Chris’s mother lashed out at Chloe and began to lecture her.

Chloe, who was innocent, na?ve, and enjoyed smiling. She immediately began to get scared and didn’t dare to eat, laugh, or speak loudly.

The atmosphere made Chloe feel suffocated.

“Lauren, you don’t need to do the dishes. Come to my room. I have something to say to you.”

Chris’s mother said to Lauren after finishing the meal.

Lauren followed Chris’s mother to her room, and after sitting down, Lauren asked, “What instructions do you have, Aunt?”

Chris’s mother had a serious expression on her face and she wasn’t like a benevolent mother at all. She said coldly, “I want you to give birth to two sons within three years of marrying Chris.”

“Here’s a box of folic acid tablets. Take them.”

Lauren seemed to be put in a spot and she exclaimed, “Aunt Marissa, whether Chris and I have children or not and how many we have, should be decided by us, shouldn’t it? I’m sorry I can’t accept this request of yours!”

Smack!

Seeing that Lauren had the audacity to refuse, Chris’s mother slapped Lauren on her face!

Chris’s mother was stronger than the average middle-aged woman, so the slap was particularly hard!

Chris’s mother said angrily, “Lauren Howard, don’t think that you can act however you please in our home, just because you are Martin Howard’s granddaughter!”

“You have to give birth even if you don’t want to!”

Chapter 382

Lauren didn’t expect to receive a slap from her future mother-in-law when she hadn’t even officially married Chris yet!

Even when a girl from an ordinary family would be treated with respect and courtesy by her fiancé’s parents when she goes over to his home for a brief stay.

Besides, Lauren came from an esteemed music and yet, Chris’s mother actually had the audacity to slap her!

Lauren rarely threw her weight around as the heiress of the Howards, but at this juncture, she had no choice but to mention it.

“I’m at least a Howard. How dare you treat me like this? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell my family about it!?”

However, Chris’s mother humphed coldly and exclaimed, “Don’t try to intimidate me with your family. To be honest, I gave you that slap on behalf of your mother!”

“That punk Jordan Steele beat your brother up to the point of becoming crippled. He can never practice martial arts again in the future. Your mother is so distressed that she can’t even sleep at night. Yet, you’re being all lovey dovey with that culprit all day long.”

“Before coming here, your mother specially instructed me to teach you and knock some sense into you!”

Lauren’s mother, Marissa, had always loved and doted on Brad a little more because Brad was more obedient than Lauren.

Since Lauren had presumptuously decided to keep the baby and give birth to her, Marissa had been greatly disappointed, and their relationship had become extremely strained.

Lauren’s eyes were filled with tears. She didn’t expect that the mother, whom she respected the most, would actually treat her in such a manner!

Chris’s mother mocked, “Girl, you’re such an ingrate. It’s no wonder that your mother is so mad at you! You’re very magnanimous, huh? I heard that you and your brother are very close. Don’t you hate Jordan for beating up your brother and causing his leg to be injured? What a heartless and disloyal girl!”

Lauren felt extremely aggrieved. How could she not be sad about her brother being injured?

However, outsiders didn’t know that Brad was the one who made Jordan a cuckold. Given Jordan’s family background and ability, Brad would have died and not only had his leg crippled, if Lauren had not gotten down on her knees to beg for mercy.

Hence, Lauren could not blame Jordan for it and instead, had to thank him for sparing Brad’s life.

Staring at Lauren condescendingly, Chris’s mother said, “Just stay in this room until you figure it out. Otherwise, you can forget about having dinner tonight!”

After saying that, Chris’s mother walked out and instructed the two subordinates who were standing outside the door, “Keep an eye on the door. Lauren is not allowed to come out without my permission.”

“Yes!”

At this moment, Lauren’s personal freedom was restricted, and so was Chloe’s.

A middle-aged woman in her fifties was teaching Chloe to read aloud and recite the rules of the Hanks.

For example, when she sees the elders of the Hank family, she would have to take the initiative to greet them. She wasn’t allowed to eat before everyone ate either.

She was not allowed to make any noise when eating, either. Every single week, she would have to prepare a talent showcase for the important guests that the Hanks receive. She also had to remember the names of every single person she met, and make sure not to get their names wrong the next time they met again.

It took an hour for Chloe to finish reciting those harsh rules.

“I’m done. Can I go look for Mommy now?”

Chloe had been memorizing and reciting the rules for an hour. Although she had just eaten, she was totally parched at the moment.

Yet the middle-aged lady was extremely fierce and overbearing. In the last hour, she had been correcting Chloe’s mistakes and making Chloe terrified of her.

Fortunately, Chloe was taught well by Lauren. If she were to be a spoiled brat, she would have thrown a tantrum and sitting on the ground instead of memorizing those stupid rules.

However, Chloe had better endurance than other children her age.

“Chloe, come out.”

Chris suddenly called out to Chloe. At this moment, he was smoking a cigarette in the courtyard and spacing out, his mind filled with the scene of Lauren kissing Jordan the other day.

He was a prideful male chauvinist. Yet, his fiancée took the initiative to kiss another man before they got married!

To make matters worse, Lauren’s love for Jordan was so deep-rooted that even the brainwashing that lasted for three days could not succeed.

In the future, Lauren might just sleep with Jordan!

“That damned Jordan!”

Chris had already smoked four cigarettes in a row, and every time he thought of Jordan, he wanted to skin him alive!

“Uncle Dominic.”

Chloe walked outside the courtyard obediently and stopped in front of Chris. She then called out to him.

Chris looked at Chloe, the beautiful apple of everyone’s eye. However, his eyes were full of endless hatred!

“How are you so pretty, you little bastard!?”

Chris vented all his hatred for Jordan on his daughter, Chloe.

He threw away his cigarette and said to Chloe, “Chloe, from now on, I’ll be your father and you’ll be a Hank!”

“Regardless of gender, all the Hanks’ descendants have to learn martial arts and join the military. This is a tradition that has been continued for hundreds of years!”

“So, from today onwards, you have to start practicing martial arts too!”

Chloe was so naive and innocent that she thought it was something fun and immediately clapped her hands happily. “Sure, my daddy said that he’d teach me martial arts too! Daddy is really impressive! He has killed a cheetah before!”

“Bullshit!”

Chris flew into a rage the moment he saw Chloe praising Jordan.

Chris had been to various harsh places in the world and had witnessed cheetahs hunting with his very own eyes. He watched the way cheetahs ran like sports cars and fought aggressively. Till this day, he would still shudder whenever he thought of the scene of a cheetah’s mouth being covered in fresh blood! novelbin

“When you’ve seen a cheetah with your own eyes, you’ll know that your father is a piece of garbage who only knows to blow his trumpet!” Chris exclaimed in exasperation.

Chloe frowned and exclaimed, “No, my daddy won’t brag or lie to me!”

“Hmph.” Not wanting to argue with a four-year-old girl, Chris said, “Now, start learning to get into the horse’s stance. Point your feet outward 15 degrees and slowly squat down. Then, turn your toes to the front, shift your weight down, and squat down again!”

“Place your hands forward with your palms facing the ground.”

“Okay, remain in this position. Don’t move for half an hour!”

Chris actually asked a four-year-old girl to remain in the horse’s stance for half an hour!

Chloe was a relatively thin girl whose physical strength was the same as an average child. There was no way she could persist for half an hour.

Within a few minutes, Chloe felt tired and her stance was no longer standard.

Chloe had extremely strict requirements. Once Chloe’s actions were not standard, he would forcefully try to correct her posture.

Gradually, Chloe’s legs trembled, and she was about to run out of power.

“Uncle Chris, I… I can’t hang on any longer. Can I rest for a while?” Chloe pleaded pitifully.

Chris said furiously, “It’s only been a while and you can’t hold on any longer! Your father is a good-for- nothing, so you’re just as weak!”

Chloe, who had been physically and mentally tortured since she arrived at the Hanks’ home, could no longer stand it.

She burst into tears and yelled, “My daddy is not a good-for-nothing! My daddy is not a good-for- nothing!

Chapter 383

Jordan spent every single day with Chloe in the last two weeks that he had been in DC. Chloe’s feelings and reliance on him had already grown stronger and stronger.

Hence, when Chris insulted Jordan and called him a good-for-nothing, Chloe cried while yelling at the top of her lungs. She would never allow anyone to say that about her father!

Although Chloe was young, she had a strong willpower because she didn’t want others to insult her father or put her to shame.

Chloe, who was completely out of energy at first, forced herself to regain her balance and steady herself in the horse’s stance.

She kept saying to herself, “I’m Daddy’s daughter. I can definitely do it! I can’t embarrass Daddy!”

Chris humphed coldly in disdain.

Time passed, minute after minute, second after second. Chloe had already been in the horse’s stance for more than ten minutes and her legs had long been trembling involuntarily. However, she was still holding onto her breath and persevering.

The only reason for her perseverance was the fact that she was Jordan’s daughter! She didn’t want others to look down on them!

However, Chloe was still a little girl, after all. Some time later, Chloe’s eyes suddenly rolled backwards and she passed out, thus falling onto the ground.

Clang!

Chloe fell to the ground.

“Indeed, the daughter of a loser is a loser, too. You actually passed out doing the horse’s stance! Someone, come here!”

Chris called out.

The middle-aged maid walked out and patted Chloe to wake her up. At this point, Chloe could no longer stand up and her legs were completely powerless, as she would fall as soon as she stood up.

Chloe cried. For as far as she had lived, she had been pampered by her mother and had never suffered such mistreatment before.

“I want to go home and look for Mommy and Daddy.”

Chloe screamed while crying.

Chris was exasperated. “Stop crying and scram back to your room! This place is your home from now onwards!”

He then said to the maid, “Take her to her room.”

“Yes!”

Chloe refused to leave and there was no way she could leave either. Knowing that she was the “illegitimate child” that Lauren had with another man, the maid had an extremely hostile attitude, too. She began to drag Chloe away forcefully.

While being dragged reluctantly, Chloe cried and exclaimed, “Mommy! Mommy!”

Lauren immediately came out of the room when she heard Chloe crying. novelbin

However, as soon as she came out, she was stopped by two men.

“Miss Lauren, you can’t go out unless you agree to Madam’s request.”

Lauren flew into a rage and hollered, “Get lost! I’m going to see my daughter!”

The bodyguard still refused to let her go. “Please don’t make things difficult for us.”

Lauren was so distressed and worried about Chloe that she tried to force her way out, only to be forcibly carried back to her room by the two bodyguards. The door was then closed.

For the past four years, Lauren had been living with Chloe alone, far away from her family. Chloe mattered to her as much as her life!

She can stay calm at all times, but not when her daughter was hurt!

She could do anything for her daughter’s sake!

At this moment, Lauren was enraged by the fact that the Hanks had the audacity to do that to her despite the fact that she was a Howard!

Lauren immediately picked up the phone and called her grandfather in a bid to complain to him so that he could seek justice for her.

Given Martin’s status in DC today, the entire Hank family would have to get on their knees to apologize to Lauren as long as he gave an order!

However, Martin did not answer the phone.

She knew that her parents loved Brad too much and were still resenting her for what happened to him, so she didn’t call them.

She thought of Jordan, Chloe’s father. Since Chloe has been mistreated, he ought to be the first person she calls.

However, she could not call him.

She knew Jordan’s current situation and was aware that he wouldn’t be able to deal with the Hanks alone so she would be doing him harm by asking him to come over.

Thus, Lauren chose to call her brother, Brad, who had always been fearless and shared close ties with her.

At this moment, Brad was still hospitalized.

As soon as the call was answered, Lauren immediately said urgently, “Brad, send someone to the Hanks’ home to save me and Chloe. They beat me up and locked me in the room. Chloe has been crying, I don’t know what they have done to her but I’m really worried. She has never been through any suffering before.”

Hearing this, Brad flew into a rage. “What? The Hanks are really brazen! How dare they hit you and Chloe? I’ll send someone over to raid their home!”

Brad had always despised the Hanks even though they were indeed very powerful.

Even though Lauren had yet to officially marry Chris, they were already so old as to do such a thing to her. They would probably abuse Lauren and Chloe to death after their official wedding on April 1st!

Brad ordered, “Send someone to the Hanks to bring Lauren and Chloe home!”

“Damn it, if my leg wasn’t injured, I would have gone over myself to beat Chris Hank up till his face is swollen!”

Soon, Brad’s subordinate immediately arranged for people to go to the Hanks’ home.

However, it didn’t take long for them to return again.

Brad asked in surprise, “What’s going on? Didn’t I tell you to personally bring some people there? Why are you back? Did the Hanks refuse to let them go?”

His subordinate replied, “No, Mr. Howard, we were stopped by Officer Clyde before we even reached Chris Hank’s place.”

Soon, a tall and burly man who was about 40 years old walked in. He was Clyde, Martin’s most capable subordinate.

He was often described as outstanding by Martin.

Although he was Martin’s subordinate, he was very resourceful and had connections with both the police and triads.

“Clyde? Why do you want to stop my people from going to the Hanks?” Brad asked in confusion.

Clyde smiled and greeted Brad and then said, “Mr. Howard, this is your grandfather’s order.”

Brad was confused. “Why is Grandpa stopping me?! Is he going to let the Hanks bully Lauren!?”

Clyde said, “Mr. Howard Sr. said that you’re not to send anyone to the Hank’ or else it would be deemed as a provocation to the Hanks. Now that their wedding is just around the corner, Mr. Howard Sr. will not let you do something that will affect the peace between the two families.”

Brad was enraged. “In this case, I order you to bring Lauren and Chloe back from the Hanks! Doesn’t Grandpa always say that you’re outstanding and brilliant like powerful ancient generals? In that case, I’ll give you a tank. Go kill them!”

Clyde chuckled and said, “I’m sorry, but I only take orders from your grandfather. You can’t order me around.”

“Besides, Mr. Howard, you flatter me. The Hanks are way too powerful. I’m afraid I won’t be able to enter, even if I tried to barge in.”

“I’m here to tell you to rest and recuperate well in the hospital. The Hanks won’t dare to do anything to harm Miss Lauren. Rest assured.”

“Rest assured, my foot!” Brad cursed furiously.

A trace of displeasure appeared on Clyde’s face!

Chapter 384

Although Clyde was Martin’s subordinate, he was quite a big shot and respected figure in the country, outside of the Howards!

The fact that Brad was speaking to him so rudely when he was a junior made Clyde very annoyed.

Brad’s subordinate, who knew Clyde’s strength, hurriedly said to Clyde, “Simmer down, Mr. Howard is just flustered. He doesn’t mean anything else.”

Clyde humphed coldly and left.

After Clyde walked out of the ward, his subordinate said in confusion, “Mr. Howard, Clyde has always been away from DC and never shows up easily. Why did he suddenly return to DC today?”

Brad was puzzled, too. “Yeah, this guy is my grandfather’s trump card. He usually comes back only when something big happens in DC.”

His subordinate seemed to have thought of something and said, “I think I heard someone saying that there was a commotion at the airport just now. Surely he isn’t here because of this, right?”

“It’s possible.” Brad did not want to think about it for the time being. “Forget about it. The problem now is that we must bring my sister and Chloe out of the Hanks’ home!”

The henchman was put in a spot, too. “Your grandfather doesn’t agree to let us go over and snatch them away. Who else can have the ability to bring Miss Lauren out?”

“Why don’t we just let Miss Lauren suffer for two days? Anyway, she has to officially marry him sooner or later. It’s only a matter of time before she’ll have to accept their rules.”

Brad lost his temper and slapped his subordinate on the face. “Bastard! No one can make my sister sacrifice and suffer for the greater good in this world! Who does Chris Hank think he is!?”

“The obnoxious Hanks must be putting her in a spot because they’re upset that she has given birth to Jordan’s child.”

“Oh right, Jordan Steele!”

Brad suddenly thought of Jordan. Due to the circumstances, he couldn’t send the Howards’ army to save Lauren and Chloe, he had no choice but to send Jordan!

Brad was very reluctant to call Jordan. He was still hospitalized and couldn’t get out of bed for many days now, all thanks to Jordan.

However, for the sake of Lauren, he eventually still called Jordan!

At this moment, Jordan, who was in a hotel near Lauren’s home, was surprised to receive Brad’s call. novelbin

“Why is he calling me?”

Jordan answered the call with some bewilderment. “Hello.”

Brad didn’t spout any nonsense, nor did he scold Jordan, but he mentioned about hurting Brad’s leg.

He said straightforwardly, “Jordan, your daughter is now about to be tortured to death by Chris, and my sister was also beaten up and locked up by them.”

“If you’re a man, go to the Hanks now and bring my sister and Chloe out!”

Jordan immediately got nervous, too. “What did you say? What happened to Chloe?!”

Brad didn’t know the exact situation and hence,merely made it sound more serious. “Don’t you know what kind of person Chris Hank is? His fiancée had a child with another man. He can have a good attitude?”

“Chloe is now crying so hard that her voice has gone hoarse. The more she cries the more the Hanks hits her. She’s being mistreated precisely because of an incompetent father like you!”

Jordan clenched his fist. About to explode!

Chloe was a part of Jordan and the person he cherished the most!

She was cute and pretty, like an angel that descended on earth. Jordan absolutely loved her and would never allow anyone to hurt her!

However, Jordan was also worried that it might be Brad’s trap to lure him to confront the Hanks, so as to take revenge for the gunshot he suffered.

Jordan said, “Brad Howard, you’d better make sure you’re not lying! I hate being lied to!”

Brad hollered, “I wish I could shoot you dead! Can I possibly have the time to lie to you? If my grandfather hadn’t stopped the people I sent out to save them, I wouldn’t have taken the initiative to call you!”

“The Hanks are just behaving so obnoxiously and lawlessly because my grandfather is advanced in years and suffers from cerebrovascular disease, so his days are numbered. On top of that, the second generation of the Hanks is doing better than my Dad!”

“Jordan, believe it or not, that’s your daughter, anyway. If you can accept your daughter being trained like a dog by the Hanks, suit yourself!”

After saying that, Brad hung up the phone.

Inside the ward, his subordinate brought a glass of water to the enraged Brad and said, “Mr. Howard, Jordan is alone. He can’t barge into the Hanks’ home unless he summons that UFO-shaped aircraft.”

“But your grandfather has issued an order for the UFO to be annihilated at the first opportunity whenever it appears again…”

Brad took a big sip of water, and said with a dull gaze in his eyes, “Although I don’t like Jordan, I have to admit that if there is only one person who can bring my sister out from the Hanks’ home, and that is, Jordan Steele!”

…

Jordan came out of the hotel as quickly as he could. He could tell that Brad was not lying to him, and there was no reason for him to deceive him using Lauren, his sister, and Chloe!

As soon as he stepped on the street, a female driver happened to step out of a white Volkswagen Golf and stopped Jordan when she saw him.

“Hey, handsome, I can’t back up well. Can you help me back up my car to the parking space?”

Jordan did not utter a single word and instead, got inside the white Volkswagen.

The female driver thanked him smilingly, “Thank you, handsome. Seems like there are still many good people these days!”

While the female driver was praising Jordan, he stepped on the gas pedal and instantly drove the car away.

The female driver blinked and froze for a full five seconds before breaking down and yelling while running, “Someone stole my car!”

Jordan drove the Volkswagen car as fast as he could and arrived at the Hanks’ villa.

Since it was one of the most high-end residences in DC, the security was also very strict. Visitors are not allowed to enter without a pass.

Jordan was extremely annoyed, and he kept honking at the security officer to get him to open the door.

The security officer also came out and said to Jordan, “You’re not a resident here, are you? You want to enter this estate with such a lousy car?”

Jordan extended his left hand and grabbed the security officer. Pressing him against the rearview mirror, he demanded fiercely, “Open the door for me immediately!”

It was the first time that the security guard encountered such a ruthless person. Out of fear, he hurriedly pressed the remote control, opened the door, and let Jordan in.

Afterwards, the security officer immediately went back inside the house and picked up the intercom to inform the others, “There is a white Volkswagen Golf breaking in. Buddies, go out immediately to stop him!”

Jordan quickly drove to the Hanks’ villa and as soon as he got out of the car, he was stopped by the gatekeeper.

“What are you here for?”

Jordan said coldly, “I want to see my daughter. Get out of my way!”

The guard at the gate said, “What a joke. Do you know that this is the Hanks’ villa in DC? Do you think you can see the people inside as and when you please? Hurry up and get lost…”

Before the guard finished speaking, Jordan had already knocked him to the ground with one punch!

“No one can stop me from seeing my daughter!”

Chapter 385

“How dare you get physical? You must be tired of living room!”

Another guard, too, quickly rushed over. However, he was still sent flying away by a kick from Jordan!

Jordan had gone all out both times he struck, in a bid to subdue his opponent in one move.

He was now pressed for time and didn’t have time to fight with them. Basically, those who had taken a full-blown punch or kick from Jordan wouldn’t be able to get up for at least two minutes. novelbin

“Someone, come here! Someone’s trying to barge into the Hanks’ home!”

Another guard immediately said into the walkie talkie.

Soon, more than ten people dashed out from inside to surround Jordan.

At the same time, Chris and Robb walked out too because they had heard the news!

“Jordan, it’s you!” Chris was furious to see Jordan.

When Jordan saw Chris, he wished he could kill him!

Jordan questioned Chris, “Chris, just what did you do to Chloe!”

Chris was slightly surprised as to how Jordan knew about him abusing Chloe just now.

‘Was it Lauren who told him? Or was it Jordan’s invisible UFO-shaped aircraft that detected it?’

Chris humphed coldly and said, “When Lauren marries me in two days’ time, Chloe will become my child. I must educate her and set some rules for her!”

Jordan flew into a rage. “To hell with those rules of yours! No one dares to make rules for my daughter! Bring Chloe and Lauren out immediately.I’m taking them away with me!”

Chris retorted aggressively, “Take them away? What kind of place do you think this is? Do you think it’s the market where they can come and go as you please?”

“I’m telling you, you won’t even be able to get past the door today, let alone see them!”

“Also, let me remind you that this is my parents’ home. Go ask around and find out what my father’s status in this city is!”

“You’d better not cause any trouble here, or I’ll make sure it’s over for you for the rest of your life!”

Jordan clenched his fist tightly and exclaimed, “Even if this is the royal palace and your father is the king, I must take my daughter away!”

“You must have a death wish. Go!”

After Chris issued the order, a few of his subordinates dashed over immediately.

However, Jordan knocked each of them down with a single punch. He dealt with them easily and they were all lying on the ground, shrieking incessantly.

“Damn it!”

Chris was shocked. He understood his subordinates’ strength the best and he knew that they were not ordinary people at all!

If they were ordinary people, it would be fine for him to knock out ten alone but these henchmen were people who could easily knock out ten ordinary people!

Chris had lost to Jordan in a one-on-one fight previously and he had been feeling indignant since then.

Likewise, Jordan’s fast, accurate and ruthless movements made Chris’s subordinates shudder in fear as they were all full of awe and scruples.

Chris barked furiously, “You idiots. Why are you fighting him one by one? Strike together! Hold him down and don’t let him move!”

When dealing with a strong and powerful person like Jordan, they had to swarm towards him and deprive him of any chance to strike.

Soon, ten people leaped towards Jordan at the same time.

Someone grabbed Jordan’s hand while some grabbed his leg. However, majority of people were sent flying by Jordan’s kick before they could get close to Jordan.

However, more and more of Chris’s henchmen dashed out of the villa. There were at least a hundred of them and they all dashed towards Jordan one after another.

Jordan gradually found it hard to handle!

Soon, Jordan’s limbs were restrained.

Jordan was about to try to break free when he saw Chris, who was quick to seize this opportunity to leap up and kick Jordan!

Jordan couldn’t move his limbs or hide. In the end, he was sent flying by Chris’s kick!

As expected of a person who had practiced martial arts since a young age, Chris sent Jordan flying by several meters with that kick!

“So suave, Mr. Hank!”

“Mighty Mr. Hank!”

“Good kick!”

Robb and the others immediately started currying favor with Chris!

Chris laughed out loud too. He had once been defeated by Jordan in the fight and thus, he finally got the chance to take revenge today!

After kicking Jordan, Chris was overjoyed. He said smugly, “Jordan Steele! A woman who loves you to the point of losing her mind is now my wife! In two days, I will press her on the big bed and consummate our marriage!”

“Don’t be in a hurry to curse. I learned that from you!”

“And your anger, I will train your daughter according to the training standards of American agents. If she can take the misery, she can go ahead. Even if she can’t, she’ll have to persist on!”

“Lauren and Chloe have ended up in this state today, all because of you, Jordan Steele!”

“Your assets have been frozen and you don’t have a single henchman. You’re all alone now. What do you have to fight with me!?!”

After yelling at Jordan for a while, Chris turned around and said to Robb, “Continue to send more henchmen. Send a thousand, no, two thousand more.”

“This kid can fight really well, can’t he? Let him fight! I shall see if he can defeat 2,000 men on his own!”

Robb chuckled and acknowledged, “Yes, Mr. Hank!”

Chris walked back to the villa, while Robb walked proudly towards Jordan. “Rascal, if I were you, I’d get lost immediately and not embarrass myself here.”

Jordan fell to the ground at this moment, but his mood was suddenly calmer than when he was angst just now!

At this moment, he remembered that when he was about to kill someone on the battlefield, he was just as calm too!

Jordan was surrounded by hundreds of people and he reckoned that there would be more than 2,000 people later!

No matter how powerful Jordan was, he could not break through the defense of more than 2,000 people and enter the Hanks’ residence.

Hence, Jordan took out his cell phone and called Tim.

He wanted Tim to come back and control the UFO-shaped aircraft again so that he could shoot Chris dead!

Tim quickly answered the phone, “Mr. Jordan, what a coincidence. I was just about to call you. We share a telepathic connection!”

He could tell that Tim seemed to be in a good mood.

Jordan didn’t waste time talking nonsense with him either. “Board a plane to DC immediately!”

Previously, Jordan asked Tim to leave DC and go to Houston to lay low for a while.

Tim laughed and said, “Mr. Jordan, I’m in DC right now, I just left the airport! Where are you? I’m going to look for you!”

Jordan said, “I’m right in front of Chris Hank’s parents’ house in Royal Mansions right now. There are hundreds of people stopping me, no, maybe thousands. Don’t come over, find a place to hide in and control the UFO-shaped aircraft!”

“What? You are surrounded by thousands of people? I’ll be right there!” Tim tensed up immediately.

At this moment, Tim hung up the phone outside the airport. A bald man eating bananas walked over and asked, “Who’s that?”

Tim immediately replied seriously, “Salvatore, Mr. Jordan is surrounded by more than two thousand people!”

The bald man was so furious that he threw the banana onto the ground and cursed, “Damn it. How dare he touch Mr. Jordan!?! He must have a death wish!”

The bald man hollered in Thai, “Brothers, listen up!”

“Yes!”

At this moment, a thunderous response came from numerous people who chorused in unison.

It was shocking and formidable, as if there were thousands or even tens of thousands of people!

Chapter 386

The bald man was none other than the former tyrant of Orlando, Salvatore!

Salvatore had already been released from prison. Tim found him in Houston.

He didn’t expect to hear Jordan being in danger as soon as he arrived in DC!

The hot-tempered Salvatore obviously couldn’t tolerate this!

Salvatore yelled in Thai, “All of you, come with me to save Mr. Steele. I’ll kill anyone who dares to stop me!” novelbin

“Yes!”

…

In front of the Hanks’ home in Royal Mansions.

Jordan was now facing a few hundred people on his own, but he still didn’t give up the urge to dash in.

As a sensible boss, he should wait for Tim to arrive before acting.

However, his daughter would suffer a second longer if he were to enter a second later!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Jordan fought ten of them alone and managed to knock all ten of them down.

It was already the umpteenth “group of ten”.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

While smoking a cigarette, Robb applauded and said gleefully, “Not bad, not bad, well done! Haha, another ten of you, fight him! I shall see how long he can last!”

Robb did not let these hundreds of people attack Jordan together. Instead, he sent ten at a time.

At first, Jordan was able to easily fight ten of them on his own, but as his physical ability gradually declined, he began to take blows from time to time while feeling extremely anxious about his daughter.

After thirty minutes, Jordan couldn’t take it anymore. He fell to the ground with his hands against the ground, almost getting on his knees!

He had already defeated a hundred people, but he was almost drained of his physical energy!

“Carry these good-for-nothings away and send ten more!”

Robb sat at the side and ordered.

Soon, ten more people appeared in front of Jordan.

Jordan broke down when he saw that there were at least one or two thousand people behind the ten people in front of him!

Jordan knew he could not take out two thousand people by himself!

He stopped fighting and dashed towards the gate of the Hanks’ home. However, he was stopped by the Hanks’ henchmen.

“Let go of me! Let me in!” Jordan shouted.

Robb chuckled. “Hey, Master Steele, Warrior Steele, hero, why did you stop fighting? Keep fighting. I have more than two thousand people here for you.”

“You want to go in, huh? That’s impossible. Mr. Hank’s home is not a place that someone of your status can enter.”

Jordan was about to lose his mind. “I’ll kill you! I’m going to annihilate Chris’s family!”

Robb humphed coldly. “You don’t know any better. Damn it, you can’t even get in, and you still want to destroy Mr. Hank’s family? Go eat some sh*t!”

“Brothers, teach this kid a good lesson. Mr. Hank said that the first group of ten to defeat Jordan will be rewarded $150,000 each!”

“Yes!”

Hearing the reward, these people immediately surrounded Jordan excitedly.

However, at this moment, a familiar voice sounded. “Who has the guts to touch my master?!”

When Jordan heard it, he turned his head and looked, only to see that it was Salvatore!

Robb suddenly stood up in shock and barked, “Damn it, why are there so many people from Southeast Asia? Where did they come from?”

…

At this moment, Clyde arrived at Martin’s residence and instructed the guards he brought at the entrance, “Stay alert. Arrest any Southeast Asian that you see!”

“Yes!”

Clyde slowly walked into Martin’s room and greeted respectfully, “Master, I have tightened the surrounding security. The people at the airport are not to be underestimated. The airport staff, and the hundred people I sent there, were almost instantly wiped out by them.”

“They are very strong, and I don’t know if they have weapons. I was afraid that they were coming for you, so I rushed over.”

Martin looked at his favorite henchman and said heartedly, “Clyde, that’s very thoughtful of you.”

“However, I just received a call from Jim and he said that a group of people had gone to the Hanks.”

Clyde asked in shock. “The Hanks? They’re targeting the Hanks? The ones who are about to become your in-laws?”

Martin nodded and said with a smile on his face, “If I guessed correctly, they should be Jordan’s henchmen. I’m afraid the Hanks are doomed today!”

…

At this time, in the Royal Mansions.

The gate of this luxury villa cluster had long been demolished into scrap iron. The palm trees had also been uprooted because they had been getting in the way.

The palms that were over ten meters high were being stepped on or carried by the henchmen as weapons!

“Salvatore?”

Jordan was overjoyed to see the subordinates that he hadn’t seen for a long time!

Salvatore came to Jordan and immediately got on his knees. “Greetings, Mr. Jordan!”

At the same time, the burly men behind Salvatore all kneeled down to Jordan and said in broken English, “Greetings, Master!”

They were loud and majestic!

Robb and the Hanks’ henchmen were all dumbfounded!

The penniless Jordan actually managed to gather so many people!

Jordan helped Salvatore up and asked happily, “You’re fine now? Where’s Pablo?”

Salvatore nodded and said, “I didn’t commit any crime in the first place. I was released after that traitor dropped the false charges against me.”

“However, there was evidence against Mr. Dalton for something that he had done in the past, so he was sentenced to a one-year jail term.”

“Okay.”

Salvatore was acquitted while Pablo was only sentenced to one year in jail. It seemed that Martin had fulfilled his promise to Jordan.

Salvatore continued, “Before I came out, Mr. Dalton specially instructed me to go to Southeast Asia after I got released and gather all the remaining 800 or so fighters he secretly trained there.”

“Mr. Dalton is afraid that something will happen to you, so he asked me to gather these people to help you!”

Jordan looked at the huge crowd behind him to see that they were all looking at him with a respectful gaze.

“Since Mr. Jordan is Mr. Dalton’s master, Mr. Jordan is my master, too. We pledge allegiance to Mr. Jordan!”

The leader said with a heavy Thai accent.

Jordan nodded. Pablo had done him a huge favor!

Jordan no longer held back and raised his arm. He exclaimed loudly, “All of you, follow me in. Kill anyone who gets in the way!”

“Yes!”

His voice echoed, and Jordan led 800 people to barge into Chris’s house!

Chapter 387

“No!”

Seeing that things were going awry, Robb immediately sneaked in to inform Chris.

“Mr. Hank! Mr. Hank! Bad news, Jordan has called someone!”

Robb ran to the hall in a panic, only to stumble and fall to the ground because of how frightened he was.

Chris also got flustered. He had heard that there was something wrong with the situation outside. “How many of them are there?”

Robb replied, “All of them are from Southeast Asia.”

Chris said, “Don’t be scared, they can’t rush in!”

At this moment, Chris’s father walked over with a serious expression. “Chris, what kind of people have you provoked? How dare you let them block the entrance!? If word gets out, I’ll be really embarrassed!”

Chris’s mother said, “It must be that bitch Lauren who called that lover of hers to come. How dare that wretch get someone to come kill me after I just lectured her? I must teach her a good lesson this time!”

Saying that, Chris’s mother dashed upstairs again in exasperation to look for Lauren.

Chris was a little guilty. If he hadn’t thrown his weight around and beaten Jordan up but let him in instead, the situation would perhaps be different.

Hence, Chris said to his father, “I’m sorry, Dad. I underestimated him.”

“Hmph, underestimating your enemy is a big no-no. You’re already in your thirties. Why are you still making such mistakes!?!”

Chris’s father sighed in exasperation before picking up the phone. “But it’s okay, since I’m your old man, I’ll help you figure it out.”

He tried to call someone, but there was no response. He wasn’t good at using smartphones, so he asked Chris, “Chris, why can’t I make this call?”

Chris grabbed his phone and looked at it, only to discover that there was no signal!

Chris took out his own cell phone and realized that there was completely no signal, either.

Even the Wi-Fi service at home wasn’t working either!

“Oh shucks!” novelbin

Just as Chris was panicking, Jordan and Salvatore had already broken out of the siege and charged into the Hanks’ home!

“What? This can’t be! It’s only been less than ten minutes and we have more than two thousand people here. How did he charge in!?!”

Both Chris and Robb were shuddering in fear.

They were too confident in their two-thousand-pax strong manpower!

These people were all Pablo’s best fighters, who had been meticulously nurtured and trained over the last decade or so. They had spent every single day of their life for the last ten years fighting in various underground fights in Southeast Asia!

How could those gangsters who frequented clubs for entertainment all day compare to those fighters!?!

They basically had no issue fighting five people on their own each!

Hence, in just a few minutes, the Hanks’ henchmen were all defeated!

The Hanks wanted to call for support, but to no avail.

They couldn’t even make a single phone call!

That was what Jordan was like!

Since he returned from the battlefield, he would never give the other party a chance to catch his breath once he struck. He had to suppress his opponent until they were too weak to retaliate!

“Chris Hank!”

Upon arriving at Hanks’ place, Jordan had already seen Chris, who was in the living room. While calling his name, he charged forward.

Robb immediately yelled in panic, “Someone, come protect Mr. Hank and Mr. Chris!”

The Hanks’ henchmen quickly appeared in front of Chris and his father to protect them.

On the other hand, Jordan and Salvatore walked towards the door, one step at a time while knocking out henchman after henchman.

Jordan suddenly heard the sounds of a girl crying as soon as he arrived at the door.

“Daddy, Mommy…”

Jordan was instantly shocked. “It’s Chloe!”

Jordan could tell that it was Chloe who was crying!

The sound came from the room on the second floor!

Jordan did not have time to fight Chris to the death, so he dashed upstairs quickly to check on Chloe!

Since most of the Hanks’ henchmen had to protect Chris and his father, they failed to stop Jordan from going upstairs.

Following the cries, Jordan pushed open the door of a room, and sure enough, he found Chloe inside!

He saw Chloe lying on the floor, her eyes swollen from crying. There was a middle-aged woman standing in front of her, who should be a subordinate of the Hanks.

She continued lecturing Chloe. “What are you crying for? You wretch, if you cry again, I’ll throw you into the forest to feed you to the wolves!”

When Jordan saw this scene and heard this sentence, his clenched fists began trembling non-stop!

No one dared to say such words and do such things to his daughter!

The maid didn’t know that Jordan was standing at the door. He walked over, grabbed the old woman’s back, and flung her out!

The old woman flew straight out the door and rolled down the stairs continuously.

“Daddy!”

Upon sight of Jordan, Chloe immediately stopped crying and got up from the ground in a bid to leap into his arms.

However, as soon as she stood up, she instantly fell to the ground again because her legs were too weak to support her weight.

Jordan hurriedly squatted down and hugged Chloe. “Chloe, how are you? Sorry, Daddy is late.”

Chloe leaped into Jordan’s arms with tears and snot flowing down her face. She was less than four years old, and her voice was hoarse as she cried.

She just wanted to say to him, “My Daddy is not a good-for-nothing.. My Daddy is not a good-for- nothing! UwU…”

Chapter 388

Watching his daughter crying in misery, Jordan too, could not help but tear up. His teardrops trickled down his face and fell onto Chloe’s long black and silky hair.

Jordan had experienced the battlefield, witnessed numerous deaths, and also been a live-in husband who had experienced several betrayals by Hailey.

Even death and betrayal did not make Jordan shed a single tear. However, seeing his daughter in such a plight made Jordan’s heart feel like it was squeezed by a tight fist!

Taking care as he wiped Chloe’s tears with both hands, Jordan discovered that her legs were completely powerless. He took off the little red cartoon socks that she was wearing, only to find her toes little swollen and her calves similarly bruised.

Jordan looked at Chloe gently and asked, “Daddy’s good girl, tell me. What happened?”

Chloe cried and said, “Uncle Chris made me practice martial arts and taught me to get in the horse’s stance. I stayed in it for a while but my legs started hurting so I couldn’t continue. Then he said that since Daddy is a good-for-nothing, I must be a good-for-nothing too.

“My daddy isn’t a good-for-nothing! Daddy isn’t a good-for-nothing!”

Jordan clenched his fist, wishing he could chop Chris into minced meat!

Jordan looked at Chloe and said, “You kept insisting on staying in the horse stance in order not to let him look down on you. So that’s why your leg is cramping up now, right?”

Chloe nodded miserably as she said defiantly, “I can’t let others look down on Daddy!”

Jordan never thought that Chloe had now ended up in such a plight just to prove to Chris that he was not a loser and good-for-nothing!

The only reason his daughter Chloe was undergoing such pain was for Jordan’s sake!

“Chloe!”

Jordan held Chloe in his arms, and at this moment, he was crying incessantly.

He had only started to show concern to Chloe and take care of her two weeks ago. He had been absent for the last three years!

How was he deserving of her love? novelbin

Chloe said to Jordan, “Daddy, I want to go home. I don’t want to live here, the people here are so mean. Will you take me and Mommy out of here?”

Jordan nodded and said, “We’re going to look for Mommy now. Let’s go.”

With that, Jordan picked Chloe up in his arms, walked to the door, and immediately carried Chloe up the stairs when she heard Lauren screaming upstairs.

He didn’t expect there to still be bodyguards of the Hanks on the third floor.

“Who are you?”

As soon as Jordan appeared, two bodyguards rushed up to him.

Jordan had just beaten up ten people alone. Although he had exhausted most of his physical strength, he was filled with adrenaline after learning that his daughter had been bullied.

Bam! Jordan kicked the two men to the ground without putting Chloe down at all! He then pushed open the door and entered, only to see Chris’s mother yanking Lauren’s clothes and hair!

“Wretch, you haven’t even officially married Chris. How dare you get your lover to come and barge into our house. You disloyal and shameless bitch, I must teach you a good lesson today!”

Chris’s mother was tall and burly, with a stature of 1.75 meters. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have given birth to a big man like Chris who was 1.9 meters tall.

Lauren was relatively vulnerable and weak, so she was completely no match for this fierce middle-aged woman. Her beautiful, long tresses were messed up by Chris’s mother, just like her clothes.

“You must have a death wish!”

Jordan put Chloe on the chair and immediately hurried over to drag away Chris’s mother, who was pulling Lauren’s hair.

Although he wanted to seek justice for Lauren, he didn’t want to hit someone in front of his daughter.

It was because of the education that Jordan’s grandfather had given him. If he wanted Chloe to grow up healthy and happy, he couldn’t let her experience these ugly fights and squabbles between adults.

Hauling Chris’s mother out, he closed the door to the room from outside.

Furious, Chris’s mother screamed as she launched herself at him, “Jordan Steele you bastard, who allowed you to enter our house!?”

Jordan slapped his opponent in the face!

“How dare you hit me?”

Chris’s mother still seemed to be in disbelief.

Smack!

Jordan slapped her again.

“Son, save me, son!”

Smack!

Jordan slapped her again, knocking her out this time. He then pushed open the door and walked into the room, only to see that Lauren had already picked up Chloe.

“Jordan, what brings you here?”

Lauren asked curiously as she hadn’t called him at all.

Jordan didn’t have time to explain and only said, “Lauren, stay with Chloe in this room for now while I go downstairs to take care of some things. I’ll pick you guys up later to leave.”

Seeing the murderous glint in Jordan’s eyes, Lauren knew that if Jordan could barge in, it proved that he had already won.

Lauren stretched out her slender hand, pulled Jordan, and advised, “Jordan, don’t do anything foolish, just take us away. Don’t touch the Hanks.”

Since Chris was compatible with Lauren in terms of family background, it proved that the Hanks were also very powerful in DC. She was worried that if Jordan was to harm Chris, it would only lead to negative consequences in the future.

Jordan said indifferently, “Don’t worry, I know my limits.”

He slowly made his way downstairs with a murderous aura, and when he came to the hall on the first floor again, the eight hundred fighters under his command had already knocked out the Hanks’ henchmen!

The only people left standing were the ten or so people in front of Chris.

Chris, his father, and Robb were cowering in the corner, all drenched in cold sweat from fear.

“Master! What do we do with these three people?” Salvatore sauntered up and asked.

There were now only over ten people in front of them, while Jordan had 800 unscathed people. The outcome of the battle was no longer uncertain.

Jordan walked step by step towards Chris and the rest. He then pointed at the lewd Robb. “Throw that scum out, I don’t want to see this person again in the future.”

“Yes!”

Salvatore immediately took action, and the dozen or so people were also captured one by one in less than ten seconds. All of them were knocked to the ground.

As it happened, Robb kept begging for mercy from Jordan, “Mr. Jordan! I was wrong! Warrior Steele! Please just treat me like I’m non-existent and let me go! I won’t dare to do it again next time!”

During this period of time, the lacky, Robb, had said many insulting words to Jordan, and Jordan had long wanted to make him disappear!

After Robb was carried away, Chris started shivering. “Jordan Steele, I did have some disagreements with you in the past but no matter what, our paths were fated to cross. My fiancée is your old flame. After I marry Lauren, I will definitely treat her well and also sleep in a separate room from her. I will also treat your daughter as if she were my own daughter!

“After Lauren and I get married, you can come to my house every week to see Chloe. No, you can come every day, you can spend the night at my house if you’d like! In fact, I go overseas all the time so I can’t take care of Chloe and Lauren.. If you don’t mind, you can come over to accompany them…”

Chapter 389

Chris was terrified!

He had always been a male chauvinist. Yet, he actually suggested that Jordan could come over to his house at any time and accompany Lauren. From his words, it was clear he agreed to let Jordan and Lauren keep in touch as they pleased even after he married Lauren.

Who would have thought that one from the esteemed Hank family would say such humiliating words?

However, Chris’s plea for mercy now was too late!

Jordan looked at Chris and said with an icy expression, “Chris Hank, since I came to DC, you have angered me countless times but I hadn’t had a chance to deal with you properly. But today, you provoked my daughter and touched my bottom line! Do you think I’d let you off so easily?”

Chris’s father could see that Jordan’s killing intent had surged at this moment so he frantically burst in, “Young man, don’t do things that you will regret! If you dare to touch my son, I will make you wish you were dead!”

Jordan glanced at the middle-aged man and humphed coldly. “I repeat, since you’ve provoked my daughter, you’re in no place to bargain with me!”

“What… what are you trying to do!?!” Chris was so frightened that he kept retreating again and again.

Jordan looked at Chris and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t kill you, I’m a very fair person. I’m only going to pay you back in your own coin. Do you still remember what you did to me through consciousness manipulation at Dr. Gale’s clinic?”

The words made Chris’s face immediately turn pale!

A few days ago, he chopped off Jordan’s finger and castrated him in the illusory world through consciousness manipulation!

No! Chris shook his head continuously and blubbered, “No, Jordan, I didn’t do that! Don’t listen to that bastard Matt Gale. He’s an unscrupulous doctor and a liar! Everything he said is untrue! I didn’t do that at all! Don’t believe Matt Gale, he’s just a bastard and a gangster!

“In the past few years, he took advantage of Lauren when he was giving her treatment. He even slept with her! You can’t believe a scumbag like him!”

Jordan humphed coldly and asked, “Am I supposed to believe you instead?”

“Someone, get in here!”

“Yes!”

Salvatore immediately came forward.

Jordan instructed Salvatore, “Let him become the next Tyler Collins!”

“Got it!”

Salvatore quickly led his underlings forward. Chris was proficient in martial arts and he resisted with all his might. But he couldn’t fight more than one opponent at a time and he was subdued by just three men.

They soon heard Chris wailing and shrieking.

“Son!”

Chris’s father hollered in helplessness.

Salvatore walked to Jordan, pointed at Chris’s father. “What about this man?”

It was the first time Jordan and Chris’s father met. There was no feud between them, and he didn’t hurt Lauren or Chloe, so Jordan wasn’t going to get physical with Chris’s father.

However, he knew very well that if he were to harm his son, Chris’s father would definitely use all of his power to deal with him.

Hence, Jordan wanted to deprive him of that power!

“Tim.” Jordan called Tim over and instructed, “Go and check his cell phone and go to his room to search for some documents or contracts or the like. I’m sure the Hanks must have lots of sordid income for them to be where they are today. Let him stay behind bars for the rest of his life.”

“Yes!”

If anything, Tim liked punishing wealthy scions and tycoons the most.

After settling these matters, Jordan ran to the third floor again and brought Lauren and Chloe down. They wanted to leave this place quickly.

However, when they came to the courtyard, Jordan discovered that Lauren’s Jeep car had been smashed to the point that even the tires were missing.

“Bastard, who smashed Miss Howard’s car? How outrageous!” Salvatore hollered angrily.

One of his underlings came forward and said, “Salvatore, it was you who smashed it.”

Salvatore was stunned, and he quickly slapped himself while apologizing to Lauren. “Sorry, I hadn’t seen your car before this.”

Lauren smiled faintly and said that she didn’t mind. It seemed that Chloe also remembered this bald man, as she piped up with a smile on her face, “It’s Mr. Baldie.”

Jordan said, “I’ll compensate you for your car another day.”

Lauren shook her head. “No, don’t bother with these things, let’s leave.”

While leading the way, Salvatore said, “There are a lot of cars we drove over outside this estate and the keys are still in the car. Mr. Jordan, just pick one as you please.”

Jordan nodded and instructed Salvatore, “Take your men and leave this place quickly.”

After saying that, Jordan picked a Cadillac Escalade and took Lauren and Chloe away.

This SUV had a fully bulletproof steel chassis. In the United States, most of the people in Cadillac Escalades are not to be trifled with because there is a 98% probability that they carried weapons.

While driving out of this area on the road, there was finally reception and Lauren’s phone rang.

“Hello, Grandpa. Yes, I’m with Jordan. Okay, I got it.”

After hanging up the phone, Lauren said to Jordan, “Grandpa wants you to take us to his place, and he also wants to see you for a while.”

“Alright.” novelbin

Jordan drove to Martin’s residence. The cars of Salvatore and the others followed behind very quickly.

After arriving at Martin’s manor, Jordan’s car passed smoothly, but Salvatore and the others’ vehicles were stopped.

Salvatore immediately called Jordan and asked, “Mr. Jordan, our cars can’t enter. Should we break in?”

Jordan said, “No, you guys stay put and wait for me. The Howards won’t do anything to me.”

His feud with the Howards had been settled long ago, and this time, he had just saved Lauren, so the Howards could not be more grateful to Jordan. They wouldn’t harm him.

With that established, Jordan, Lauren and Chloe, slowly walked into the hall.

Jordan was surprised to find that the hall was filled with the Howards!

Just like the first time he had come here, Martin, Lauren’s father, mother, stepmother, Clarice, Alex, as well as their respective partners, were all around. Even Brad, whose leg injury had yet to fully recover, had rushed home from the hospital!

‘That’s strange. Why are all the Howards here?’

Jordan vaguely felt that something was not right.

“Mr. Howard Senior,” Jordan called out to Martin.

“Grandpa,” Lauren greeted.

Martin nodded expressionlessly. Seeing that Chloe’s face was stained with tears, he said, “Someone, take Chloe to wash up.”

“Lauren, go to your room and freshen up too.”

Lauren’s hair and clothes were also a bit messy now. After all, they were a notable family and Martin valued etiquette greatly.

However, Lauren glanced at Jordan, not wanting to leave him because she was worried that Martin would make things difficult for Jordan.

Martin could tell what Lauren was thinking and he said, “Our conversation with Jordan won’t begin until you come down. Go and get changed. Since you’re known as the top beauty in DC, you have to look like it.”

Jordan also smiled at Lauren and said, “Go ahead, I’ll be fine.”

Lauren nodded and headed upstairs.

Jordan found a seat and sat down. The large room was filled with a dead silence and not a single person uttered a word!

However, they were all looking at Jordan!

‘What exactly do the Howards… intend to do!?’

Jordan could not help but feel anxious..

Chapter 390

It was completely silent in the living room and even Brad and Clarice, who were extremely talkative, kept their mouths shut and looked at Jordan with cold expressions.

In the face of the frosty reception, Jordan felt no need to make small talk with the Howards. He feigned composure and sipped on tea or rested his chin in his hand while tapping his fingers against his ear in a rhythmic fashion.

At this moment, Jordan was wearing Airpods and tapping his face regularly with his fingertips. Although he seemed to be fidgeting out of boredom, his taps were Morse codes!

He had just sent a message to Tim by tapping with his fingers, a Morse code that translated to: Prepare the UFO!

Judging from how the Howards were gathered together, Martin might make things difficult for him. Although Jordan thought he sent a message discreetly, Clyde walked up to Martin slowly and whispered something into his ear.

“Master, he just sent a message through Morse code, and asked his underlings to prepare the UFO.”

Martin waved his hand in acknowledgment.

Jordan couldn’t hear what Clyde said to Martin but he felt that Clyde wasn’t a simple person.

Soon after, Lauren came down from upstairs in a new set of clothes. Since it was relatively warm indoors, she changed into a very elegant long winter dress. She did not wash her hair because it was too long and it would take her at least half an hour to blow dry her hair. But she couldn’t make Jordan and the rest of her family wait for such a long time.

Her hair was still damp so it seemed she had used a moisturizing and hydrating styling spray.

Lauren was absolutely beautiful.

“Grandpa…”

Lauren glanced at Martin.

“Alright, take a seat,” Martin said to Lauren.

Lauren sat next to Jordan, and he immediately felt a refreshing scent wafting up to his nose.

At this moment, Martin asked Jordan, “Jordan, can you tell us what you’ve done to Chris?”

What should happen has happened. Jordan had long been impatient so he answered truthfully, “Chris Hank is no longer a complete man!”

“Haha, good! You’ve got some nerve!” Brad burst into laughter.

However, Brad’s mother, Marissa, flew into a rage and slapped the table furiously.

“Chris is our son-in-law and Lauren’s newlywed husband. How dare you… even treat him like this! How can my daughter have a normal married life in the future!?”

Jordan was simply speechless. Was this woman delusional? Judging from the state of Lauren’s clothes when she arrived and her unkempt hair, she had obviously been beaten up.

Despite being Lauren’s mother, Marissa didn’t show any concern about what she had suffered in the Hanks’ home. Instead, she was more concerned about Chris’s well-being and fantasized about letting Lauren and Chris live as husband and wife.

“What about Chris’s father, Lawrence?”

Martin continued to ask with a calm expression.

Jordan said, “I didn’t harm his father but my men found out the evidence of his violation of the law and his crimes have been exposed on the internet.”

Martin said, “The Hanks will soon be our in-laws after all. What exactly do you mean by doing that to them?” novelbin

“When I first asked you to marry Lauren, you refused but now that Lauren is marrying someone else, you even caused their family to end up like this. Do you want my granddaughter to live her whole life with unrequited love for you and end up alone for the rest of her life!?”

Martin suddenly lost his temper, looking extremely authoritative.

Before Jordan said anything, Lauren first stood up and said, “Grandpa, what happened today has nothing to do with Jordan. Chloe and I were mistreated by the Hanks and Jordan couldn’t bear to continue letting us suffer. That’s why he rushed into the Hanks’ home to save me.”

Marissa yelled at Lauren, “You are not allowed to speak up for Jordan! Lauren, you are becoming more and more preposterous. How can you accuse your husband’s family to speak up for an outsider?”

Brad rolled his eyes and said, “Now that Chris has been castrated, it’s over for the Hanks now and they’re no longer compatible with us. I’m afraid the wedding will have to be canceled.”

With a curt nod, Martin said, “Yes, Jordan, you have ruined my granddaughter and Chris’s wedding. I don’t care what kind of agenda you have but in any case, you must give me an explanation today!”

“He should be arrested immediately!” Marissa barked furiously.

Ignoring the outburst, Martin continued, “If you don’t give me an explanation today, I can assure you that you and your over eight hundred henchmen will all be arrested.”

Jordan clenched his fist and thought to himself secretly, ‘Martin, you old fogy, you clearly know that something happened to your granddaughter, but you didn’t do anything about it because you were waiting for me to deal with the Hanks! In the end, you still want me to marry Lauren! Victoria must be in Martin’s hands!’

Jordan had become more and more doubtful. He felt that Victoria must be in Martin’s hands and that everything that happened today was part of Martin’s plan to make Jordan marry Lauren.

Jordan thought about it carefully. ‘No, I can no longer stay in DC. Martin is deliberately hiding Victoria and I can’t find her at all, unless… I become the person who’s the closest to Martin!’

After a full minute, Jordan suddenly stood up. Knowing how formidable Jordan was, everyone kept their guards up immediately!

Almost instinctively, Clyde also stood up and shielded Martin.

Just like the plot of the movie “Hero”, a top expert would be able to kill someone in a moment as long as the distance was within the hunting range!

To their surprise, Jordan did not lay a hand on Martin and instead, took Lauren’s hand.

Brad immediately panicked and exclaimed, “Protect my sister!”

Marissa also exclaimed, “Let go of my daughter. What are you trying to do!?!”

Lauren also thought that Jordan was going to take her as a hostage and escape.

So she did not evade him and instead, took the initiative to approach Jordan and she said to him, “Take me away as a hostage and leave this place. Don’t come back again.”

Tears flowed down her flawless face. If it weren’t for her, Jordan wouldn’t have ended up in such a plight.

However, what followed was a scene that was beyond everyone’s expectations. Jordan didn’t try to abduct her by taking her hand and instead…

Jordan kept inching closer to Lauren’s face, after which he kissed her in front of everyone!

“What?!”

Everyone was dumbfounded as they were flabbergasted at what Jordan was doing!

Lauren was completely stunned and the tears on her face stopped flowing downwards because of how shocked she was.

“Jordan, you…”

Lauren did not understand why Jordan kissed her.

Jordan held Lauren’s hand tightly and then looked at Martin. “Everyone in DC knows that Lauren is getting married on the 1st of April. I won’t let the Howards be embarrassed. On the 1st of April, Lauren will still put on her wedding dress and get married.

“However, the groom will no longer be Chris. It will be me!”
