The Abandoned Husband Dominates Chapter 441-450

Chapter 441

“Russell Miller…”

“So it turns out that it’s that old dog, Russell Miller!”

Jordan was infuriated. Originally he had thought that the boss of Victoria’s impostor would be Cayden but it turned out to be Russell! He didn’t know that Russell had already made Victoria’s impostor his sugar baby the last time he came to Houston.

The others exclaimed in amazement when they heard the news.

“The richest man in Houston! I heard that this castle we are living in now belongs to Mr. Miller!”

“ah, Mr. Miller is so rich, I heard that he is worth billions, no, it’s tens of billions!”

“Oh my God, Watermelon Entertainment is the company owned by the richest man in Houston, Mr. Miller? Hah, had I known earlier, I would have gone to Watermelon Entertainment! Damn, I’m really regretting it!”

“Me too! I also wanted to join Watermelon Entertainment back then. By the way, Victoria, did you know that the real boss of your agency is Mr. Russell Miller?”

As they were in Houston, the girls flocked from everywhere, and they naturally worshiped the richest man around.

Victoria’s impostor said smugly, “Of course I know Mr. Miller. He’s my daddy!”

Seeing how smug and shameless Victoria’s impostor was, Jordan couldn’t help but curse, “Shameless woman! You still have the cheek to say that Russell Miller is your daddy?”

“The dog father who sleeps with you!?!”

“You…”

The woman immediately became speechless because her relationship with Russell was indeed as Jordan had said.

“How dare you call my daddy a dog?” Victoria’s impostor questioned.

The others began to speak up for her one after another.

“This man is about the same age as us. He just knows to brag. Even if he’s rich, he’s at most a rich second-generation heir. How can he compare to Mr. Miller?”

“Exactly. So what if he’s the boss of Dreams Entertainment? Ten Dreams Entertainment can’t compare to Mr. Miller’s assets!”

“You’re just good at scolding others behind their backs. Do you dare to scold Russell in front of him? Tell us, do you dare to do that?”

Jordan glanced at the girls, not expecting the hostess to be so popular. To think that so many people had spoken up for her.

Victoria’s impostor began hollering at Jordan, “That’s right. My Daddy is in Houston. If you have what it takes, go lash out at him to his face. What’s the point of pretending in front of us!?!”

Jordan humphed coldly and said, “Okay, get that old dog to come over. Let’s see if I dare to lash out at him in public!”

Victoria’s impostor had long wanted to get Russell to come over and deal with Jordan. Since Jordan knew that she used to be a hostess, she couldn’t keep a man like him alive! In the future, there would be great trouble if the matter were to be exposed.

“Okay, don’t forget what you’ve said. I’ll go call Daddy now!” snapped the woman who had gotten plastic surgery.

Jordan reminded, “You’d better mention my name. Otherwise, I’m afraid he won’t dare to come in after hearing my name.”

The girls in the dance studio were filled with disdain and felt that Jordan was bragging.

Soon, Victoria’s impostor said to Jordan after making a call, “Just you wait. My daddy will be here soon!”

The other girls got excited.

“Is Mr. Miller coming over? Ah, I’m going to put on makeup!”

“Jordan Steele, don’t think of fleeing. Let’s see if you can flee when you see Mr. Miller later!”

Jordan waited in the dance studio quietly. Keith, Chelsea, and Maggie were standing behind him.

Keith whispered into Jordan’s ear, “Mr. Steele, there are some ties between Mr. Miller and me but he’s richer than me. I wonder if my words will have any impact on them.”

Jordan waved his hands and said, “You don’t have to bother. When he comes later, just watch from the side. I can deal with it alone.”

Keith still wanted to settle the matter for Jordan. However, although Keith had great connections and a reputation in the entertainment industry, it was nothing compared to the real estate and tech magnates. The annual profit of the most profitable entertainment companies in the country was very little

compared to that.

They probably earned a billion dollars at most.

A wealthy businessman like Russell was worth at least tens of billions of dollars.

“Ah! My daddy is here!”

Victoria’s impostor suddenly shrieked in amazement and saw a luxurious Mercedes Benz outside the window.

She immediately sashayed out of the dance studio to receive the older man.

Soon, he heard the conversation between her and a man.

Russell exclaimed in anger, “Who does the boss of Dreams Entertainment think he is? How dare he scold me? I won’t take even ten Keiths seriously!”

As he spoke, Russell pushed the doors of the dance studio and entered.

Seeing this bigwig who was worth billions of dollars, the girls in the dance studio all stood on tiptoe happily and scrambled to be the first to greet him. There were suddenly dozens of people in the dance studio, where there used to be only less than twenty.

Almost all of the contestants of this year’s competition were there!

The contestants were all girls, so they all gathered together, imagining that they could be noticed and poached by Russell. They all knew that in order to succeed in the entertainment industry, they would have to have a backer. If they could get a billionaire like Russell to be their backer, they would have a

smooth path in the entertainment industry!

That’s how the entertainment industry was. Many people felt that the big bosses would often subject the actresses to the casting couch. The reality was that those girls had been trying every possible way to befriend those big bosses and get on their beds.

“Hello, Mr. Miller!”

“Mr. Miller is so suave!”

The girls greeted Russell one after another, each with a look of respect on their faces.

However, when Jordan saw Russell, he immediately stood up and lashed out at Russell.

“Russell Miller, you old dog!?!”

The scolding immediately shocked everyone, especially Keith, Chelsea, and Director Dave.

The three of them knew how rich Russell was. Yet, Jordan actually had the guts to scold him in front of them!

Russell looked at Jordan and panicked immediately. “It… it’s you?”

How could he forget that day? Russell easily recalled the last time Jordan visited Houston! On the day of the wedding, Jordan had kissed Russell’s bride in front of all the guests!

Now that Jordan was Martin’s grandson-in-law, Russell didn’t dare to touch him at all!

Jordan was extremely displeased, and he hollered, “Old dog, Victoria has been with you for three years. I didn’t think you would do such ruthless things to us! You found a fake Victoria because you can’t get a real one and that’s not all. You even helped her debut and let her use Victoria’s name to debut as a

celebrity!

“How would Victoria think after knowing about that!?! Have you ever considered Victoria’s feelings! ?!”

Russell chickened out for a moment before retorting immediately, “Jordan Steele, you have no right to lash out at me! What happened after you snatched Victoria from me? You married Lauren Howard and even caused Victoria to go missing! You have no right to mention Victoria’s name again or meddle

with my affairs! So what if I let her become a celebrity using Victoria’s name!?”

Chapter 442

If anything, Russell was full of hatred towards Jordan too!

Since Jordan didn’t marry Victoria, why did he snatch her away? If it wasn’t for Jordan, Russell would have already obtained the real Victoria and not a counterfeit! novelbin

Jordan humphed coldly and said, “I have no right to mention Victoria? Hah, should I bring Norman Clarke here to see you?”

“Brother Norman!”

As soon as he heard Victoria’s father’s name, Russell broke out in sweat and became extremely nervous and diffident!

Ever since he learned that Norman was still alive, Russell had been having nightmares and was always dreaming of Norman coming to him.

In his dreams, the man strangled him and hollered, “I handed my daughter to you and you actually slept with her! I want to strangle you, you ungrateful scoundrel!”

He would often wake up in the middle of the night with his face covered in cold sweat.

The fake Victoria who had slept with Russell, too, would wake up in shock and ask him what was wrong with great concern. However, whenever Russell saw “Victoria’s” face, he would push her away or take the initiative to leave the room, not daring to sleep with her again.

‘The woman who had undergone plastic surgery still didn’t understand what had happened.

Jordan knew that Russell was afraid of Norman, so he said, “Russell, everything you have today is all thanks to Norman helping you at the beginning. Now that you’ve become a billionaire and the richest man in Houston, Norman Clarke will probably be heartened to see that you’ve made such great

achievements today. Don’t you agree?”

Russell swallowed saliva incessantly. “You… Do you know where Norman is?”

Jordan said, “Duh, he has been living in my house for the past ten years, how can I not know?”

In fact, Jordan did not know where Norman was at all because it was his family’s secret. However, Russell obviously didn’t know about such a secretive matter of the Steeles. He thought that since Norman was living in the Steeles’ home, Jordan must be able to contact him.

Russell didn’t dare to see Norman and he finally chickened out. “Jordan Steele, tell me what you want me to do. I’ll obey your orders!”

With a cold humph, Jordan pointed at Victoria’s impostor. “Terminate her contract immediately and make her withdraw from this competition! She’s not allowed to enter the entertainment industry in the future either! I can’t let such a lowly and tacky woman tarnish Victoria’s reputation!”

Russell looked at Victoria’s impostor and said, “Your contract has been terminated. Don’t contact me ever again.”

“Daddy, please don’t do that. I’m your goddaughter, how can you abandon me?”

‘The woman grabbed Russell’s arm as she pleaded tearfully.

Russell shook her hand away and snapped in exasperation, “Call me Mr. Miller! I’m not your godfather!”

Afterward, Russell walked towards Dave, the chief director of the variety show. He said, “Dave, sorry, Victoria wants to withdraw from the competition, please delete all the footage of her in the first episode.”

Ina matter of moments, Dave was put in a difficult spot. “Um…”

Russell said, “Don’t worry, I’ll pay you ten times the compensation sum for the breach of contract.”

Hearing that Russell was willing to pay ten times the amount of the compensation sum for breach of contract, Dave finally smiled.

After doing that, Russell was ready to leave.

However, before leaving, he secretly asked Jordan, “What would you do if you met the real Victoria today? Would you divorce Lauren?”

That question caused Jordan to freeze for several seconds. In all honesty, he didn’t answer that question because he didn’t know how to. Neither did he know what he would do.

Well, if he were to really meet Victoria, would Jordan choose to live with her or continue living with Lauren?

“Wow, Mr. Steele is incredible. Even the richest man in Houston would listen to him!”

“Mr. Steele, I’d like to join your company. Will you please promote me and help me become famous?”

“I’d like to have Mr. Steele’s company too. What’s the name of Mr. Steele’s company?”

At this moment, the group of girls who participated in the competition frantically started being friendly to Jordan after seeing how domineering he was even when he was facing Russell. They knew that he wasn’t just a simple rich second-generation heir.

Snapping back to his senses, Jordan said to the crowd, “My company’s name is J Films, named after my initials. My name’s Jordan. The current total market value of J Films has exceeded a hundred billion dollars and it’s the biggest entertainment company in the world!”

Of course, Jordan was just bragging because J Films didn’t exist at all. However, this group of little girls who did not know anything about business believed it.

“Oh my God, a hundred billion! How many zeroes is that? I’m about to lose my mind!”

“I just need 1.5 million dollars to be promoted to an A-lister! 1.5 million is loose change for Mr. Steele!”

“Ah! I want to marry him!!! I want to sleep with Mr. Steele!”

Looking at the boy-crazy girls who were swooning and gushing over him, Jordan continued to blow his own trumpet.

“Tm the emperor of the entertainment industry! Whoever I want to promote will become famous and whoever I want dead, will die! You’re from 58 various agencies in the country and today, I’m going to tell you that the survival of these 58 companies are all under my control!”

The crowd was in an uproar, and they wondered if their companies were also subsidiaries of J Films and under Jordan’s control.

“It just so happens that in three days, it will be the twentieth anniversary of the establishment of J Films. I’m planning to hold the 2oth anniversary celebration of J Films at the Houston International Convention and Exhibition Center! When the time comes, all the celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio,

Taylor Swift, Director Smith, Director Cameron, and many other big names of the industry will be here!”

By this stage, everyone had their mouths wide open.

Jordan said, “You guys go call your bosses right now and tell them to come to the celebration in three days. Join me as a subsidiary of J Films. I guarantee them a smooth path in the future! On the contrary, I’ll make those who don’t wish to join, vanish from the entertainment industry!”

Everyone was shocked because Jordan seemed to be about to unify the entertainment industry!

No one dared to doubt that Jordan was blowing his trumpet. They quickly picked up their phones to call their bosses.

In the evening, Jordan returned to the hotel he checked into. Since they offered Thai massage services, he decided to go for a session to relax.

The massage wasn’t done in the hotel room but a specific spa room.

Since the decor of the room was styled in a manner that was authentically Thai, there were Buddha statues, dim lights, aromatic scents and handicrafts inside the room.

It was much easier to relax in such an environment.

After entering, a beautiful woman came over to wash his feet. Jordan lay on his back and waited for someone to give him a massage.

However, just at that moment.

“The aura doesn’t seem right.”

Jordan could not see the rest of the room because he was lying on his back and the room was dim.

However, Jordan felt that the person who gave him a massage had been replaced by someone else!

Jordan immediately got up and pinned a female masseuse, who was about to approach him, to the ground!

“Honey!”

Amidst the dimness, Jordan looked at the woman who was being pinned down by him, only to see a familiar face.

‘Victoria Clarke!?!”

Chapter 443

Jordan looked at the familiar face but he didn’t get worked up this time.

It was difficult for him to reign back his cynicism since he had already been fooled once. This time, he was convinced that the woman wasn‘ Victoria but the impostor who had gotten plastic surgery to look like her! novelbin

Since Victoria had left, she would not appear easily unless he found her himself. Even if Victoria appeared again, it was unlikely that she would disguise herself as a Thai masseuse.

A young woman like Emily might have surprised Jordan in such a manner but Victoria was already 30 years old and he was certain that she wouldn’t do such a thing.

Hence, Jordan got up immediately and snapped at the woman furiously, “It’s you again, you plastic face! Are you still trying to pretend to be Victoria and take advantage of me?”

During the day, Victoria’s impostor kissed Jordan in the contestants’ dance studio. Upon returning to the hotel, the first thing Jordan did was brush his teeth! Victoria’s impostor used to be a hostess who had served countless men!

The thought of it made Jordan feel disgusted because he didn’t know how Russell could bring himself to sleep with him.

Victoria’s impostor got up from the ground and immediately knelt in front of Jordan to plead.

“Mr. Steele, please don’t end my means ofa livelihood. Let me be a celebrity. I don’t want to be a hostess anymore. I want to turn over a new leaf and become a woman who makes money with her own ability.”

Jordan looked at Victoria’s impostor and suddenly remembered the first time Victoria kneeled to him.

‘The last time Victoria kneeled was because she had cut off all means of making a livelihood for Jordan but subsequently discovered his true identity.

After recalling it carefully, he felt like it happened a lifetime ago. It had indeed occurred a long time ago…

Looking at Victoria’s impostor, Jordan thought to himself that she looked rather similar to Victoria even if she hadn’t gotten any plastic surgery done on her face.

Since the two of them resembled each other, it was considered an affinity.

Jordan said, “You’ve got the right mindset. Your appearance has become identical to Victoria’s and I will never allow you to do those dirty things like you did before. I can help you and guarantee that you have a decent and stable income in the future. But you have to promise me that you’re not allowed to sleep

with any man in the future. Can you do it?”

Men were all selfish. Since she had already turned into Victoria’s appearance, Jordan didn’t want her to sleep with another man even though she was just an impostor.

Victoria’s impostor nodded and said, “I can do that. I’m tired of men! As long as I can make decent money and make my family proud of me, I will never fall in love and never get married in my life!”

Jordan said, “Okay, I’ll give you a number. Go to Chelsea Adams and get signed to Dreams Entertainment. I will get her to arrange jobs for you but they won’t require you to show your face. For example, leg and hand modeling jobs or being a celebrity manager’s assistant.

“Since you have the same face as Victoria, I can’t let you become a celebrity. Once you rise to fame, it’ll have a great impact on Victoria’s life. You also need to change the name on your ID.”

Victoria’s impostor nodded and exclaimed, “Thank you, Mr. Steele!”

Jordan wrote down Chelsea’s phone number on a piece of paper and handed it to her but she didn’t leave right away.

Instead, she gently asked, “Mr. Steele, do you need me to stay with you tonight…’ I know you like Victoria Clarke and she seems to be missing now, right? You must miss her a lot, huh?”

Victoria’s impostor guessed right. Jordan had been missing Victoria every day and night since she went missing!

Victoria’s impostor continued, “I’ve slept with Mr. Decker and Mr. Miller. They both spoke very highly of me, and they all said that I’m just like the real Victoria! Why don’t you let me sleep with you tonight so that you can relieve the misery of missing her?”

Jordan carefully sized up Victoria’s impostor, only to find that her demeanor had become the same as Victoria’s, which he thought must have been the result of Russell’s training.

However, Jordan had no interest in this woman.

Jordan said to Victoria’s impostor, “Listen, no matter how much you look like Victoria after getting plastic surgery, you will never, ever be able to compare to her! Get out!”

Not daring to speak again, Victoria’s impostor frantically scurried out.

Along sigh left Jordan’s lips.

“Victoria, where on earth are you? I will soon finish my business trial and find out my family’s secrets. I will then be able to see you!”

At this moment, in a hospital in New York.

Cayden was having a physical examination here, after which an elderly doctor explained the results to him.

“Mr. Cayden Huxley, congratulations, you have now regained your fertility!”

Both Cayden and Shane were incredibly excited!

“Really? My brother is okay?” Shane asked, grabbing the doctor’s white coat.

The doctor smiled and said, “There is absolutely no mistake. After medication and treatment, I am 100% sure that Mr. Cayden’s fertility issue has completely recovered. Previously, he was injected with drugs that inhibited his fertility, and now we have completely cleared it up.”

Ever since Cayden and Hailey got divorced, Cayden had been searching for famous doctors around the world and begging them to restore his fertility.

The doctor, Dr. Brown, was a top doctor in the United States. He used a variety of methods to expel the toxins from Cayden’s body.

During this period, Cayden suffered a lot because of that and he had lost a significant amount of weight. He was now as thin as a stick. However, he didn’t care that he had become gaunt. He was glad to become a man again now that he had regained his fertility!

At this moment, Cayden’s phone rang. It was a call from one of his current girlfriends.

After divorcing Hailey, Cayden had reverted to his old playboy ways and now had three girlfriends.

“Hey, what did you say? You said you’re pregnant? Is the baby mine? I want you to swear! Honey, don’t lie to me, if you’ve slept with someone else during this time too, come clean and tell me. I won’t blame you for it. I just want to know now if I’m fertile again!”

“Am I really the only one you slept with? Ah! I succeeded! I’ve regained my fertility!”

Cayden hung up the phone and hugged Shane with excitement.

Dr. Brown smiled and clapped. “Congratulations, Mr. Huxley, it seems that you regained your fertility some time ago.”

Cayden, too, clasped his hands tightly around Dr. Brown. “Thank you, Dr. Brown, you made me a real man again!”

Seconds later, Cayden then seemed furious again.

“Jordan Steele, did you see that? I’ve regained my fertility! You caused me to almost lose my ability to become a father! I won’t let you off!”

Seeing this, Shane hurriedly said to Cayden solemnly, “Cayden, since you’ve regained your fertility, forget about it. You’d better not mess with him again!”

What did he say? Cayden clenched his fist.. He obviously wasn’t going to let it go just like that!

Chapter 444

Shane knew that Cayden couldn’t take it lying down so he advised, “Although Jordan’s assets are now frozen and he’s being targeted by the government, he is now the son-in-law of the Howards. The Huxleys have gradually returned to the position of the top of the courier express industry during this period,

and our assets are once again close to 15 billion dollars. But the Howards are still an existence we cant afford to mess with!”

Since Jordan stopped being in charge of Perry Express, Perry Express had declined greatly and had once again been overtaken by Breezy Express.

It must be said that the Huxleys had strong business acumen.

Cayden said, “Shane, don’t worry, this time, I won’t be as stupid as I used to be, and fight Jordan head- on. I’m going to do it secretly. I’m going to take revenge on him without him realizing it was me!”

Shane nodded, finding that his brother had finally become mature. ‘What do you plan to do?”

Cayden looked at Dr. Brown and said, “I had Dr. Brown develop a colorless and tasteless drug. After one drinks it, the nerves of their eyes will be stimulated. The drug will slowly damage the nerves and eventually lead to blindness!”

“Blindness!?!* Shane got a great shock. “You want Jordan to become blind?!”

Cayden said viciously, “That’s right! My initial plan was to pay him back in his own coin by making him lose his fertility just like I did. But he already has two children now and it doesn’t matter whether he has any more children in the future. That’d be too light of a punishment for him!

“Instead I’ll make him blind for the rest of his life, so that will never be able to see his wife’s charming face! Hahaha!”

With a solemn and stern look on his face, Shane grabbed Cayden’s hand and said, ‘Cayden, don’t do that. If you insist on doing so, you must never let Jordan find out that you’re the culprit.”

Cayden nodded and said, “Well, I got the news that in three days, Jordan is going to set up a celebration in the Houston International Convention and Exhibition Center. I also know that he has invited all the companies in the entire local entertainment industry!

‘On that day, I reckon that there will be at least hundreds or thousands of people attending! When the time comes, I will drug his drink. With so many people around, he definitely won’t be able to find out who the culprit is!

“Hehe, then I’ll screw his wife once she’s not in his sight, just like how I hooked up with Hailey Camden to make him a cuckold back then. This time, we’ll see how he catches us in bed, Hahahaha!”

Shane hurriedly said, *Cayden, taking revenge on Jordan is enough. You can’t provoke the Howards!”

Cayden knew that Shane was worried about him so he compromised. “Okay then. Let’s not bother about Lauren for now. But after Jordan goes blind, I reckon the Howards might make Lauren divorce him! In short, it’s over for Jordan Steele!”

Three days later, in the Houston International Convention and Exhibition Center.

The 20th-amniversary celebration of J Films started at only seven in the evening but the convention center was already crowded at two in the afternoon. The reason being many big shots were coming to attend the celebration today!

At 6 pm, the red carpet ceremony began officially and the celebrity guests had also made their appearance one after another. The red carpet was surrounded by fans, cameramen and reporters. Jordan had also invited local and foreign media reporters.

“Look, it’s Leo, the male lead of Titanic!”

The Hollywood star, Leonardo DiCaprio, walked onto the red carpet and waved to the audience before walking to the autograph area where they accepted the reporters’ interview.

The reporter asked, “Mr. Leonardo, may I ask why you’re here to attend the celebration? Is there any relationship between you and J Films?”

Leonardo DiCaprio answered, ‘Oh we’re very close. The reason that I shot to fame and got the chance to take on so many great roles is all thanks to the help of J Films. J Films is the best entertainment company in the world and it’s definitely dominating. Jordan, the boss of J Films, is one of the best

businessmen in the world.”

After Leonardo DiCaprio, directors Christopher Nolan and James Cameron arrived one after another too. Apart from these big names of the film industry, there were also big shots of the sports industry.

Even Michael Jordan, the god of basketball, had turned up!

“Oh my! They even invited Michael Jordan! J Films is impressive!”

“How much money must that have cost? A celebration like that must have cost dozens of millions, huh?”

“It seems that J Films is indeed the number one entertainment company in the country. How ignorant of us to have not heard about it before!”

‘The media reporters and the audience were gradually convinced of Jordan’s fictional J Films!

By seven o’clock in the evening, Jordan walked onto the stage on time. There were over a hundred big bosses, celebrities, bigwigs, and reporters.

Dressed in a black suit, Jordan held onto the microphone in a rather CEO-like manner as he spoke to the crowd.

‘It’s the 20th-anniversary celebration of my company, J Films, today. I’d like to thank all of you for your participation. There is no doubt that J Films has been the top entertainment company in all of the US and even in the world. Next, I hope that J Films will go through its second lap of two decades with all

of you.

“Everyone, let’s toast!”

Jordan lifted his glass and the crowd followed suit.

Subsequently, Jordan came to a long table at which 58 people were seated. They happened to be the representatives of the 58 entertainment companies to which the contestants of “Idol Creation Camp” belonged.

It could be said that these 58 people represented the power of the entire local entertainment industry!

Surprisingly, a young man spoke up as soon as Jordan sat down.

“Jordan, you’re such a braggart. What 2oth anniversary of J Films? Your assets have now been frozen and you don’t have a single cent at all. Even this banquet was held using Russell Miller’s money. How can you possibly afford to set up a company?” novelbin

Jordan took a look at the man who spoke, only to find that he was Alex! He didn’t expect that Alex had also established an entertainment company.

Alex was right. Jordan’s current situation was indeed miserable and far from being as glorious as he claimed to be on stage. It was true that his assets were frozen and he had no choice but to ask Russell

Miller for his money.

On the other hand, the A-listers didn’t need to be paid at all. All it took was a phone call from Jordan to invite them over.

Another man also chimed in, “What? The money for the celebration was taken from others? Hah, and he wants all 58 entertainment companies here to bow down to him?”

“This is hilarious. To think that he called himself the emperor of the entertainment industry. He’s just an outright liar.”

Seeing that everyone was questioning Jordan, Keith, who was present, suddenly spoke up too.

“Since everyone is here, it means that they approve of Mr. Steele. In that case, we’d better let Mr. Steele speak.”

After Keith finished speaking, everyone kept quiet.

Facing the bosses of the 58 entertainment companies, Jordan said, ‘I invited you all here today because I want you to rise to glory together with J Films so that you can become our subsidiary… I want you all to announce in front of the media reporters that your companies will become affiliated with J Films,

and add the name of J Films in front of your company names!”

Chapter 445

“You want all of us to join you and become your subsidiary company?”

“You also want us to change the name of our companies to include J Films before our company name?”

“How arrogant of you. You don’t know any better! Jordan Steele, you belittle us too much. Not to mention that your previous company is gone and your assets are frozen, even if you’re still the president of a corporation worth billions, do you think you can acquire these 58 companies of ours?!”

Jordan’s words made these 58 bosses present furious as they all felt incredibly insulted. In particular, the last person who spoke was full of a domineering aura and completely dauntless in the face of Jordan.

Keith took the initiative to introduce to Jordan, “This is Mr. Benson, president of Hoffer Corporation, which owns several businesses in various industries like entertainment, watches and jewelry as well as securities. Their entertainment company is worth billions of dollars, and it’s currently the largest in

the country.”

Jordan looked at Mr. Benson, only to realize why Mr. Benson was indignant. It tuned out that he was a senior executive at a company that was worth billions of dollars, which makes him far more competent than the bosses of companies that were worth only a few millions.

However, Jordan managed to even defeat the Huxleys who were worth dozens of billions. Hence, he really didn’t take Mr. Benson seriously.

Purely from the perspective of a businessman, these bosses of the entertainment industry did not own very profitable businesses. However, they were definitely the most arrogant ones. Although they prioritized money, they often felt that they were different from other businessmen. In fact, they even felt

superior.

Therefore, it was not an easy task for Jordan to make them bow down to him.

Jordan sat at the head of the long table. Except for Keith who was next to him, the bosses at the other seats were all staring at Jordan with great disdain with cigarettes in their mouths.

Seeing this, Keith immediately got up and walked onto the stage. Since he was Jordan’s subordinate, he had to be the first to stand forth and answer his call.

Tapping the microphone, Keith said, “Hello everyone, I am Keith Adams of Dreams Entertainment. Although I founded Dreams Entertainment, it’s thanks to Mr. Steele of J Corporation that we got to where we are.”

“So, I’m here to announce to all my friends of the media that Dreams Entertainment will be renamed as J-Dreams Entertainment and officially become a subsidiary company of J Films!”

Many reporters and fans on the scene exclaimed in awe.

“Oh my God, Dreams Entertainment has become a subsidiary of J Films. Does that mean that Maggie Stone is also signed to J Films now?”

“With such a powerful backer, Maggie will definitely soar to popularity!”

After Keith walked down from the stage, another man walked up to the stage. It was the boss of Watermelon Entertainment.

“Hello everyone, I’m also here to announce that Watermelon Entertainment will now be renamed as J- Watermelon Entertainment and become a subsidiary of J Films.”

Everyone was shocked to hear that.

“What? Watermelon Entertainment is also a subsidiary of J Films? I heard that they have signed many potential celebrities this year!”

“Yes, the girl named Raquelle or whatever, and that girl who came in first in all the tests at Julliard, have all been signed by Watermelon Entertainment!”

“Isn’t Watermelon Entertainment owned by Russell Miller, the richest man in Houston? Watermelon Entertainment is a powerful backer. Why should he become a subsidiary of J Films?”

“Does this mean that even Russell, the richest man in Houston, is under this Mr. Steele? Wow, this Mr. Steele is too powerful!”

At this moment, Salvatore, who was wearing a suit and holding a toothpick, said to Tim beside him.

“Tim, since that old dog Russell is so compliant to Mr. Steele, should I get Russell to give us the position of President of Watermelon Entertainment?”

Salvatore really liked Watermelon Entertainment.

Two of the 58 companies had officially announced to join J Corporation as subsidiaries, though it was only an empty shell and a company that did not exist at all.

However, their reputation had already been built.

Besides, Jordan’s ultimate motive was not to build a big empire in the entertainment industry but to complete the mission given by his grandfather. However, after the leaders of those two companies did so, the remaining 56 company representatives sat still without getting up.

That was normal too. Keith announced to join because of Jamie. On the other hand, it was Russell’s intention to join Watermelon Entertainment because he didn’t dare to disobey Jordan now.

The others wouldn’t rashly give their companies away but this bunch of people were already discussing incessantly.

Jordan lit a cigar in a domineering manner, which made people shudder. novelbin

Last night, he had a chat with Michael Jordan, the “God of Basketball” for an entire night. He learned nothing from him except his domineering demeanor. His gaze was so terrifying that it seemed that he could kill with his eyes.

While smoking the cigar, Jordan leaned back and sat down. He said, “As they say, having a backer makes everything easier. As long as you’re willing to join me, I’ll definitely take good care of you.”

“Have you seen the group of Hollywood stars and directors who came today? Join me, and your artistes and your company’s movies will be able to make it to the International stage!”

The 56 bosses began discussing with great enthusiasm.

However, although they all began to hesitate, no one took the initiative to step forward.

Jordan took a puff of his cigar and continued, “What I want is to unify the local entertainment industry. I’m not asking you for your opinion. I’m ordering you! If you don’t do it, I will impose sanctions on you!”

Those domineering words made Mr. Benson slam the table angrily. “Domineering junior! When I was in the entertainment industry, you weren’t even born yet! How dare you speak to me like that!?! Sure, I won’t join you today. I shall take a look at how you can sanction us!”

Alex also smoked a cigarette and laughed. “Jordan Steele, for Lauren’s sake, I won’t expose you. In everyone’s eyes, you’re just a fool. I’ll quietly watch you pretend to be impressive and see how you lose the only pair of pants.”

‘The others quickly chimed in.

“Come on, come and sanction us. I shall see what means you have!”

Jordan humphed coldly and said, “Okay, all 58 bosses here have artistes who are signed to their companies participating in this year’s ‘Idol Creation Camp’. If you don’t join me, I’ll make sure that this show can’t go on so that you will make ducks and drakes of your efforts!”

Although “Idol Creation Camp” was just a talent show, the profits that it could bring to the company were massive once they were aired and the artistes shot to fame!

Fora large entertainment company like Mr. Benson’s, such profits were considered nothing. However, those small entertainment companies were all counting on these one or two artistes to keep their companies running!

Hence, except for Keith and the boss of Watermelon Entertainment, the remaining six bosses began to panic!

Chapter 446

After the tension, the crowd started to guffaw.

“Haha, Jordan, you’re such a braggart. You’re going to make sure Idol Creation Camp can’t go on? Do you know how much money has been invested in this program? Do you really think you can decide if it gets to be run or not?”

“That’s right, it’s just a far-fetched dream of yours! All the artistes from these 58 companies have already taken part and it’s safe to say that we represent the power of the entire local industry. Who would dare to go against us and who has the power to do that?”

“Jordan, even if you are a billionaire, you can’t possibly do that. Besides, you’re now a penniless man whose mobile payment accounts have been frozen too. Hahaha…”

“Haha, restore your bank account before you talk big, punk!”

Seeing that the crowd did not believe him, Jordan picked up his phone and dialed a phone number.

“Hey, the program ‘Idol Creation Camp ‘is a really unhealthy program that has many practices that violate the rules. Cancel this program.”

After saying that, Jordan hung up the phone and continued smoking his cigar. However, after Jordan pretended and bragged, those people didn’t buy it and simply burst into laughter!

“Hahahahaha… I’m laughing my ass off. Jordan, how dare you still pretend in front of us!?!”

“Hahaha!”

“This young man is such a braggart. I almost got convinced by him.”

Jordan laughed at everyone but he remained calm. “Oh, is that so? I’ve only met him once but I can’t remember clearly.”

Jordan was still behaving like a big boss as if the person he was speaking to was just a small fry whose name he shouldn’t have to remember.

Alex couldn’t help but say, “If you can command them, I’ll call you Daddy today! You’re just a braggart!”

Among all the people present, Alex was the one who knew Jordan the best. He knew that although the Steeles were wealthy, most of their assets and power were abroad. Locally, their strength in all aspects was simply inferior to the Howards.

Alex was certain that Jordan definitely didn’t have any power in the country!

Jordan took a sip of wine and shot Alex a contemptuous glance. “Since you’re going to call me Daddy, don’t forget to call Lauren ‘Mommy’ when you see her.”

“You…” Alex was infuriated. “What if you can’t do it? Are you going to let us just sit here and wait?”

Jordan calmly held his glass of wine and said, “Just wait a little. The news will be announced soon.”

Indeed, after twenty minutes, a piece of news made it to the list of trending topics on Twitter.

“Idol Creation Camp” was taken down for rectification due to a violation of rules!

Since it was a coincidence that Jordan invited Jenny and the contestants of “Idol Creation Camp’, the girls got the news and scurried over.

Each of them grabbed their respective bosses’ arms and said to them sobbingly, “Boss, bad news. The show has been canceled. What do we do? Ah… Am I never going to get famous?”

Mr. Benson, the president of Hoffer Entertainment, got a great shock and immediately took out his phone to check, only to see the news that had just been released.

“To improve the quality of the content of online variety shows, curb the spread of false and fake content, and create a clean cyberspace, we’ve decided to cancel several online variety shows, including ‘Idol Creation Camp’. Multiple violations of rules have occurred during the filming of Idol Creation

Camp…”

‘Mr. Benson’s jaw dropped. In just twenty short minutes, Jordan managed to cancel the variety program, “Idol Creation Camp”, which had garnered countless investments!

Mr. Benson looked at Jordan with a combination of incredulity and surprise. “How… how did you manage to do it!?!”

Alex was shocked to see the contents displayed on his phone screen too. “Impossible! You don’t make sense at all! Only the Howards…”

At this moment, Lauren happened to receive a call from his grandfather, Martin.

“Hello, Grandpa.”

“Alex, where are you?”

“Tm in… Houston.”

“Are you attending the banquet hosted by your brother-in-law?”

“Yes, I’m with Jordan.”

“Give Woody Media to Jordan. That crappy company of yours isn’t worth much anyway.”

“Grandpa…”

Alex was indignant and reluctant but he couldn’t disobey his grandfather either.

At this moment, Alex came to a sudden realization. “I know, Jordan must have just called my grandfather! It’s my grandfather who is secretly helping him!”

Alex’s conjecture was right, as Jordan had indeed called Martin just now. Given Martin’s strength and status, all it would take for him to get an online variety program canceled was a simple request.

“Ugh, Jordan Steele actually had the guts to use the Howards’ power to blow his trumpet here!”

Alex gritted his teeth forcefully. He couldn’t understand why his grandfather would help Jordan out!

Jordan watched Alex get up and he asked, “Why? Are you going to call me Daddy now?”

Alex humphed coldly. He wasn’t even willing to call Jordan his brother-in-law, let alone Daddy!

Deliberately ignoring Jordan, Alex got up and walked straight on stage.

Facing the crowd, Alex said, “Everyone, I’m Alex Howard, president of Woody Entertainment. I declare that Woody Entertainment is officially joining J Films as a subsidiary.”

Seeing that Alex had also compromised, the other 55 company owners lost their composure too.

“Even the Howards’ grandson has bowed down to Jordan, what should we do? Should I join them or not?”

“Mr. Steele didn’t ask for any shares or money from us anyway. We just have to change our company name. Once we do, we can even cooperate with Hollywood. Of course we should join!”

“Yes, yes, Mr. Steele, I’m going to work with you from now on!”

“Me too! I’m coming too!”

The bosses of these small companies got up, walked to the stage, and announced their companies to be subsidiaries of J Films.

In the end, everyone got up except Mr. Benson of Hoffer Entertainment.

Mr. Benson was worth tens of billions of dollars, and also the richest one. As the leader of the local entertainment agencies, he wasn’t willing to just sell himself to others.

When Keith saw that Mr. Benson was the only one who didn’t join, he spoke up for Jordan and persuaded him, “Mr. Benson, now that the entertainment industry belongs to Mr. Steele, you should be aware of Mr. Steele’s strength. Why don’t you join us?”

Mr. Benson looked at Jordan and said, “Mr. Steele has money and connections. I’m indeed inferior in terms of that but this can only prove that you come from a good family background. I may be rich but I hate money the most. I won’t bow down for money.

“If you want to convince me, you must earn my respect in other aspects!”

Chapter 447

Jordan had now taken in 57 entertainment companies, which was already considered very successful. However, he still wanted to conquer the entertainment giant, Hoffer Entertainment. It was only then that he would truly unify the entertainment industry.

“Other aspects? I wonder in which aspects I have to conquer before you will be convinced of my abilities?” Jordan asked.

Mr. Benson laughed and said, “Since we are dealing in the entertainment industry, of course it’s in this aspect. There’s a popular A-list actress named Zoey who debuted only a few years ago but she’s already one of the most popular actresses.”

“If you can make Zoey join J Films, I’ll take my hat off to you!”

Hearing Mr. Benson’s request, the other bosses shook their heads one after another.

“Miss Zoey is the noblest actress in the entertainment industry. She has never accepted any endorsement deals, and some businessmen have been rejected by her even after offering deals worth millions of dollars!”

“Miss Zoey has her own studio so she definitely won’t join other companies.”

“That’s right, Mr. Steele, it doesn’t matter how rich and powerful you may be. There are countless wealthy and powerful men who have tried to court Zoey but they can’t even get to have a meal with her.”

As Jordan rarely paid attention to the local entertainment industry so he didn’t know much about Zoey.

Jordan looked at Keith and asked, “Is it very difficult to get Zoey signed to your company?”

However, Keith whispered something into Jordan’s ear with a mysterious smile on his face. Jordan smiled immediately after hearing his words.

Turning to Mr. Benson, Jordan said, “Mr. Benson, I can not only get Zoey to join J Films, but I can also get her to sleep with me too. Do you believe it or not?”

Mr. Benson immediately said excitedly, “Impossible! I’ve tried to court Zoey dozens of times but I eventually only managed to have tea with her, let alone flirt with her! Mr. Steele, I guess you don’t know Zoey at all. That’s why you’re saying that. She’s not like most actresses who adore rich and powerful

men. Even if you’re rich, she can’t be bothered.”

“Is that so?”

Jordan smiled and said to Keith, “Mr. Adams, you have Miss Zoey’s phone number, don’t you? Please give her a call on my behalf and tell her to come here immediately to accompany me tonight.”

“Yes!”

Soon, Keith ended the call and returned. “Miss Zoey will be here within an hour.”

Jordan picked up his wine glass and continued to drink. “Let’s wait an hour for her then.”

One hour later.

An elegant woman, who was dressed in white, walked over and caused a huge commotion as soon as she appeared.

“Ah, Zoey is here! She’s so thin and beautiful!”

“Llove you, Zoey!”

Zoey walked straight onto the stage and said into the microphone, “Good evening everyone, I am Zoey, and I hereby announce that my studio and my personal media company has officially joined J Films and we’ll be part of Mr. Steele’s empire.”

Everyone was stunned.

Mr. Benson was dumbfounded. “How… how is that possible!?!”

After Zoey finished speaking, she walked over. Her tall and slender figure, as well as her superstar aura, were very much to the pleasure of the bosses present.

This was the celebrity whom all the big bosses wanted to sleep with but to no avail! It could be said that all the male bosses had once tried to pursue Zoey, only to be rejected by her.

“Mr. Steele…”

“Mr. Steele…” Zoey walked towards Jordan and called out respectfully.

Jordan looked at Zoey’s long locks, which were flowing with the wind. The charming curls at the tips of her hair, her delicate and plain makeup, and even her pink nails were gorgeous, so much that men couldn’t resist her at all!

Jordan could not help but secretly think, ‘Jamie has great taste! Why are all the women he picks so beautiful!?!”

Indeed, the aloof Zoey, who ignored almost everyone, was promoted to fame during his own business trial. Moreover, he promoted Zoey without sleeping with her. At this moment, she was still a virgin!

Zoey was the only A-list actress who was still a virgin!

Everyone was clear about how filthy the entertainment industry was. Hence, these bosses including Mr. Benson, were all mesmerized and infatuated with her! Zoey was a rare gem in the entertainment industry!

“No one can get her, no one!”

Mr. Benson looked at Zoey without blinking, his heart beating non-stop.

Jordan glanced at Zoey and smiled. “Zoey, you’re not here for anything tonight, right? Come accompany me at the hotel tonight.”

Zoey nodded and said, “Okay.”

All the 57 bosses except Keith were shocked!

“This can’t be! Zoey has never been the type of woman who would sleep with men!” novelbin

“Mr. Steele… is so powerful that he can even conquer Zoey!”

Zoey looked at Jordan affectionately and said, “Mr. Steele, I’ve been waiting for you to appear all these years and my wish has finally come true today.”

Jordan looked at Zoey and deliberately held her slender hand. “It’s been hard on you the past few years. Get a nice hotel room and wait for me there.”

“alright.”

Jordan naturally wasn’t really going to get a room with Zoey. He was just doing it for show, so as to convince Mr. Benson!

Mr. Benson finally got up and said, “I’m convinced! Mr. Steele, you really are powerful. Not only are you rich, you have great connections too. From today onwards, I’m pleased to collaborate with Mr. Steele!”

Jordan smiled and patted Mr. Benson on his shoulder. He said, “Don’t worry, join me and I won’t mistreat you.”

After Mr. Benson announced that his company name would be changed to J-Hoffer, there was a huge uproar in the entertainment industry, which took the nation by storm!

Jordan and J Films had already gone viral on the Internet.

Overnight, all the citizens of the nation had already known about J Films and the boss was Jordan Steele!

Ina mysterious mansion in England.

It happened to be noontime and Charleston was watering flowers in the courtyard when Butler Frank walked over smilingly.

“Mr, Steele Senior, Mr. Jordan has established an entertainment company called ‘J Films’, and has acquired all 58 of the most influential entertainment companies in the nation as subsidiaries!”

Charleston suddenly froze and said, “Oh? Jordan’s assets have been frozen and he should be having a hard time there now. He doesn’t have any money to set up a company. J Films was set up by the Howards, right?”

Charleston continued to calmly water the flowers.

However, Butler Frank said smilingly, “Mr. Steele Senior, you guessed wrongly this time. I’ve checked and J Films doesn’t exist at all!”

“Mrr, Jordan is using a non-existent company to deceive everyone in all of the US! Now everyone thinks that J Films is the most powerful company in the world!”

Charleston finally stopped moving and burst into laughter. “Hahaha, well done! Well done! Jordan deserves to be the person I have the highest hopes for! He has already fully comprehended the essence of business. How impressive! Impressive!”

Butler Frank smiled and said, “In that case, Mr. Jordan’s business trial…”

Butler Frank also smiled and asked, “In that case, Mr.. Jordan’s business trial has come to a satisfactory end!”

Chapter 448

Putting down the watering can, Charleston returned to the study. Butler Frank took out a delicate, thick, hard-cover book and handed it to Charleston.

Charleston slowly opened it, only to see a page that seemed like an excel sheet, with Jesse’s, Jamie’s and Jordan’s names written on it.

In the column on the left were the names of the missions that the three of them had been on.

Picking up a Dupont pen, Charleston wrote the alphabet “SS” on the evaluation column of Jordan’s business trial!

“Double Ss!”

Butler Frank was stunned, not expecting Charleston to give Jordan such a high rating and evaluation for his business trial performance!

Jesse and Jamie, too, had both completed their business trials and their ratings were S and A+ respectively.

That meant Jordan had received the best rating!

Even Jordan didn’t know that Charleston would also evaluate the performance of other family members after they had completed their respective missions.

S was naturally the highest rating, followed by A. SS had clearly exceeded Charleston’s expectations. However, although the rating of Jordan’s business trial was SS, Jordan’s emotional training was only A.

The emotional and character trial was his three-year marriage to Hailey Camden as her live-in husband.

Since Jamie did not participate in the battlefield training, Jesse and Jordan were the only ones who had an evaluation.

Jesse’s rating was S, while Jordan’s was $+!

Jordan was still more outstanding than Jesse!

Butler Frank looked at the notebook and smiled. “Mr. Jordan is definitely the best when it comes to missions that don’t involve women.”

Charleston nodded and said, “The only problem with Jordan is that he falls in love too deeply. He always lets his emotions affect his decisions, especially when it comes to women.”

Butler Frank asked, “Mr. Steele Senior, are you planning to continue to let Mr. Jordan experience the emotional and character development trial? Mr. Jesse suggested that Mr. Jordan be separated from Miss Howard and then marry Hailey Camden. Only then will he get rid of his desire for love and become a

more mature person.”

Charleston was stunned. “You want Jordan to marry Hailey Camden again? No, that’s too cruel. Hailey has hurt Jordan too many times and if he gets back together with that woman, he will indeed become less emotional, but he will also never love anyone again. I don’t want him to become that kind of

person.”

Butler Frank nodded too. “Yes, Mr. Steele Senior, I don’t agree with that suggestion either. Oh right, since Mr. Jordan has finished his business trial, do we continue assigning more missions for him?”

Charleston thought about it and said, “Ask him to come back and see me together with his new wife. I have something very important to say to him!”

“Understood!”

With that, Butler Frank left the study and immediately dialed Jordan’s number.

At this moment, Jordan was in the banquet hall of Houston International Convention and Exhibition Center, drinking some wine happily.

Seeing that Butler Frank had called, Jordan immediately made a gesture to the EDM DJ crew that was performing on the stage for them to turn down the music a little.

Jordan then picked up the phone.

“Hello, Butler Frank.”

“Mr. Jordan, congratulations, you have completed the business trial that the family arranged for you!”

Jordan was shocked to hear that. ‘I… finished it just like that?

It had only been a few days since he decided to take on this mission, which he initially planned to use a year to complete.

After “acquiring” the 58 entertainment companies today, Jordan would go on to immediately start filming some online variety shows and films. Jordan did not expect to succeed before even commencing!

It had been too long since Jordan had been notified of his successful completion of a trial. The last time he did was when he was a takeout deliveryman in Orlando.

At that time, Jordan went to the Roxy Hotel in Orlando to deliver takeout to Tyler and happened to bump into Hailey who was in the same room as him. After he came out, he received a call from Butler Frank.

Jordan was surprised and overjoyed. “Butler Frank, does Grandpa have a new mission for me next? Or… am I already qualified to know the family secrets!?!”

Jordan was so eager to complete the mission because he wanted to know what the family’s secret was! He wasn’t trying to snatch anything from his brothers. He just wanted to learn about the secrets for Victoria’s sake! novelbin

Butler Frank said, “Mr. Steele Senior said that he wants you and the Howards to make a trip to England. He will inform you personally.”

Hearing this, Jordan was extremely excited. “Okay, I’ll meet up with Lauren tomorrow and we’ll leave as soon as possible!”

After hanging up, Jordan was practically bouncing in his seat as he exclaimed “yes” thrice in a row.

Michael Jordan, who was sipping whiskey at the side, couldn’t help but look over.

The last time he heard someone shout “yes” thrice in a row with such excitement was decades ago when he was playing in the NBA. At that time, he had completed an aerial dodge from three people and scored. The commentator then excitedly yelled ‘yes’ three times.

Seeing how excited Jordan was, even Salvatore couldn’t help but go up to him and ask what the good news was. Jordan said, “We’re going to go back to England soon.”

Salvatore was just as excited as he wondered, ‘Am I finally going to get to see the Steeles’ secret base!?!”

Jordan hurriedly dialed Lauren’s phone number to share the good news with her immediately.

“Hello, Queen of British bars, when are you free to go and inspect your properties?” Jordan asked with a smile.

Dumbfounded, Lauren asked, “Huh? Have you had too much to drink? What are you talking about?”

Jordan said, “I have completed the business trial. Grandpa asked us to go to England to meet him. Lauren, pack your bags and we can embark on our honeymoon trip to England soon. I’ll let you experience a perfect honeymoon that no one has!”

Hearing this, Lauren also got excited. “Really? Grandpa really invited us? That’s great! Chloe would jump for joy if she knew.”

Jordan laughed and said, “Inform your grandfather too. He’s rather concerned about this matter and I managed to complete this mission thanks to his help.”

After informing Lauren, Jordan said to Salvatore in high spirits, “Tell Russell to prepare another 1000 bottles of Champagne Veuve Clicquot, I want everyone to celebrate this moment with me!”

“On it!”

Salvatore immediately dialed Russell’s number. “Old Russell… we’re running out of champagne. Mr. Jordan wants you to send a thousand bottles of Champagne Veuve Clicquot over.”

On the other end of the line, Russell snapped, “A thousand bottles?! Do you think you’re talking about mineral water here!?! A bottle of champagne costs over a thousand bucks and there are only over 3,000 bottles in this world!”

Salvatore said, “Stop nagging. Mr. Jordan is in a good mood today. Hurry up and send the champagne over, or I will take Norman to you!”

Russell, “You… Fine!”

Soon, the 1000 bottles of Champagne Veuve Clicquot were distributed and served to every table. Everyone was happily drinking champagne, listening to music and dancing.

The celebration finally ended at half-past ten at night. The person in charge of cleaning was a female college student from a university in Houston who was working part-time here. She walked to the head of the long table and picked up the wine glass that Jordan used, her heart filled with excitement.

“This is the cup that Mr. Steele used! Let me get some of his good luck. I hope I can be as successful as him in the future!”

It just so happened that there was a lot of wine left, so she poured a glass into Jordan’s used glass and chugged it.

More than an hour later, they finally started cleaning up at midnight. However, the female college student suddenly went dizzy and fell to the ground as her vision became blurry!

Chapter 449

“Gwen, what happened to you?”

‘When her colleagues saw her fall to the ground, they immediately went over to help her up.

The girl kept shaking her head and slapping herself. I-I feel like my vision is starting to get blurry.”

“Are you too tired? Go home and rest.”

“Maybe…”

At this moment, Jordan had long dozed off in the hotel room.

‘The next morning, Salvatore knocked a few times on the hotel room door before entering upon realizing that Jordan wasn’t answering.

“Mr. Jordan, Mr. Jordan, wake up, it’s time for us to set off and head back to DC,” Salvatore called out to Jordan a few times before he woke up slowly, only to feel like he was in darkness.

“What time is it?”

Jordan asked.

Salvatore said, “It’s already eight in the morning.”

Jordan said, “Open the curtains. Why is it so dark in here?”

Stunned, Salvatore’s brows wrinkled somewhat after hearing those words. He turned his head and looked at the window. He had just opened the curtains! At this moment, the sunlight had already shone in. It was bright enough even without the lights on.

Salvatore suddenly had a hunch that something was wrong. “Mr. Jordan… do you find the room… a little dark?”

Jordan said, “It’s not just dark, I can’t see anything at all. Are the hotel curtains the kind that are so thick that they block out all light? If it’s eight in the morning, there’s no reason for it to be so dark even if the curtains are closed. Is it still nighttime?”

Salvatore was stunned. He swallowed some saliva and frantically scurried over to switch on the lights in the hotel room!

“Mr… Mr. Jordan, how about now?” Salvatore asked fearfully.

‘There were instantly goosebumps all over Jordan’s body! He had just heard the sound of Salvatore turning on the lights, but after the lights were turned on, Jordan still felt that everything in front of him was pitch dark!

“Oh shit!”

Jordan instantly realized that there was nothing wrong with the lighting but rather, it was his vision that had gone wrong!

Salvatore too walked over in fear and asked, “Mr. Jordan, don’t scare me. I’ve already turned on all the lights. Surely you can still see something, right?”

By now, Salvatore was on the verge of tears but Jordan was extremely serious as he constantly recalled the events of the past 24 hours. novelbin

The greater the crisis he was in, the more he was able to stay calm.

Salvatore’s voice trembled as he asked, “Mr. Jordan, I’ve been by your side to protect you since the celebration started and I haven’t seen anyone do anything to you. When I look at your eyes now, there

are no signs of injury. They look just like normal, so why can’t you see anything? Could it be transient

blindness that’s triggered by excessive emotions?”

Jordan was still trying to recall what happened last night. Although he had drunk a lot of wine, he had long gotten used to drinking with willpower. Hence, most people would forget what they did while they were drunk, upon waking up the second day.

However, such a thing did not exist for Jordan.

Due to his strong and tenacious willpower that forced him to stay awake to a certain extent at all times, Jordan could also recall what happened last night.

“Last night… I remember that on the way back, my eyes started hurting so I dozed off as soon as I returned. Before the celebration began, there wasn’t such an issue with my eyes. That means that someone made a move against me during the celebration!”

Salvatore listened to Jordan’s analysis and said, “Tim and I have been on guard at the scene. No one has been in contact. Unless… they drugged your drink!”

Jordan thought the same. He, too, believed that someone had drugged his drink!

“Someone wants to harm me!”

Jordan couldn’t help but be frightened and horrified. Who exactly would dare to be so harsh to him to use such underhanded methods!?!

Jordan immediately thought of a few people!

“Jamie, Russell, Cayden, Brad, Alex, Tyler…”

Each of these people had a reason to do so!

Jordan was exasperated and felt a rising sense of terror grow from inside him. If he didn’t find out who the culprit was, he wouldn’t be able to sleep soundly for the rest of his life!

“Go retrieve the surveillance camera footage of last night’s celebration, and thoroughly investigate every person who came to the celebration. The waiters are included!” He ordered Salvatore.

Salvatore said, “Yes! But Mr. Jordan, the wine was prepared by this old dog Russell, could he have been the culprit?”

Jordan thought about it and said, “He has a motive but I have a strong feeling it isn’t him, though we should run a thorough check on him too. In addition to Russell, I want you to send someone to New York City to check on Cayden Huxley’s movements in the past two days, as well as Tyler Collins, Brad

Howard, and Alex Howard!”

Given that Jordan had way too many enemies, it was difficult for him to easily deduce who the culprit was.

Salvatore hastily agreed, “Mr. Jordan, I’ll take you to the hospital and get your eyes before finding that bastard. I promise I’ll stand up for you!”

Within moments, Salvatore took Jordan to the hospital in Houston and did a careful examination. He thought that if Jordan had only been drugged and his eyes weren’t damaged, the matter should be resolved easily.

However, the doctor said, “Mr. Steele’s eyes have not been damaged and they look just like a normal person’s but there is a serious problem with the nerves in his eyes, especially the optic nerve that is responsible for visual transmission.”

“We are currently unable to know what kind of drug ingredients have caused damage to you, Mr. Steele. Can you find the glass of wine he drank yesterday and give it to us?”

Salvatore said with an anxious face, “The wine glasses that he drank from yesterday have all been washed.”

The doctor sighed and said, “That will be quite a hassle then. Mr. Steele’s condition isn’t suitable for surgery and we’ll have to treat him with medicine. This is all we can do.”

Salvatore was furious and grabbed the doctor. “What do you mean you can’t do anything about it!? If you can’t cure Mr. Steele, you can forget…”

“Salvatore!”

Salvatore frantically walked over.

Jordan said, “Don’t make things difficult for the doctor. The Howards are already aware that something has happened to me. Martin told me to go back to DC immediately and that he has already hired the best ophthalmologist to treat me.”

Salvatore quickly nodded. “Well, the competency of the crappy doctors here is terrible! Mr. Jordan, ignore that doctor’s nonsense, you will definitely be fine!”

‘The two were about to leave when they saw a middle-aged man in a suit hurrying over.

It was Russell.

The moment he saw the man, Salvatore moved aggressively towards Russell with every intention to beat him into pulp. “Russell Miller, how dare you harm Mr. Jordan!

Russell hastily waved his hand to fend him off. “It wasn’t me, it wasn’t me!”

Salvatore said angrily, “You provided all the champagne for the celebration. Who else could it have been if it weren’t you!?”

Russell said aggrievedly, “There was nothing wrong with the champagne. Look, so many people drank it and they’re all fine, aren’t they? Someone deliberately spik Jordan’s glass of champagne! I swear this has absolutely nothing to do with me!”

Chapter 450

Russell was equally flustered.

For fear that Jordan would misunderstand that he had done the dirty work, he hurriedly explained, “Jordan, although there’s a conflict between us, it’s entirely because of Victoria Clarke. In fact, I admire you very much purely from the perspective of a man. I even take my hat off to you! The words you said

on Bill Gates’ luxury yacht shocked me.

“Indeed, I don’t deny that I was jealous of you but I never tried to harm you! While I admit I may have done so if you were still dating Victoria, now that you two are already separated, why should I continue to harm you?”

Russell had specially come to the hospital to explain things to Jordan because he was afraid of facing Jordan’s retaliation and getting attacked by Arthur.

Jordan also felt that Houston was Russell’s territory while the money and wine for the celebration were all paid for by him too. Since Russell was a smart person, he wouldn’t have tried to harm Jordan so brazenly even if he wanted to.

After hearing the man’s confession, Jordan chose to believe Russell!

“Russell Miller, I will trust you for now.”

Immediately after that, he asked, “Let me ask you, could this matter have been done by the Huxleys?”

Russell froze when he heard Jordan’s question.

“The Huxleys?”

“Yes, Cayden, Shane, and Arthur Huxley all have reasons to do such a thing to me.”

Given that Russell and Arthur were sworn brothers, Jordan wanted to ask Russell what he thought.

Russell thought for a moment before responding. “Nah, they wouldn’t. Ever since your assets were frozen and you stepped down from your duties as the president of Perry Express, the Huxleys have been focusing on Breezy Express.

“As far as I know, their family has been focusing on their business 24 hours a day to recoup their losses in the last two months. They don’t have the time to think about anything else now, and they already know the consequences of messing with you. I doubt they would repeat the same mistake.”

Jordan was also pondering that question. If neither the Huxleys nor Russell was the culprit, who could it be?

Russell said, “Jordan, you’re going back to DC for treatment, right? I have a private jet that you can use.”

Salvatore hurriedly said, “Would you be so kind as to let us use your private jet? Could you have planted a bomb on the plane and tried to make us crash and die?”

Russell said helplessly, “What are you talking about? I’ll be boarding the same jet back to DC with you! Something has happened to Jordan on my territory and I’m afraid Mr. Howard Sr. will suspect that I was the culprit so I have to go explain it to him personally.”

With that, Jordan extended his hand and gestured to Salvatore. He said, “Let’s go.”

Jordan knew that Russell didn’t have the guts to harm him.

After boarding Russell’s private jet, Russell originally wanted to sit with Jordan and the others but Salvatore shooed him elsewhere.

Salvatore and Tim were crying incessantly. “Mr. Steele, your eyes must be cured. Otherwise, Mr. Dalton will gouge my eyes out if he finds out that I failed to protect you well when he’s released from prison. Arghhh!”

Tim glanced at Jordan, who was seated quietly in front of him and said softly, “Salvatore, look at Mr. Jordan. His mood seems to have been rather stable even after losing his eyesight.”

Salvatore replied, “It’s more than just stable. He’s so composed. I’ve already cried eight times but it doesn’t seem like a big deal to Mr. Jordan.”

Tim said, “I feel that Mr. Jordan is so calm because he’s very confident in restoring his vision. The Steeles are such a mysterious family. It’s impossible that they can’t find a cure for his eyes.”

Salvatore sighed and lamented, “I hope so.”

At this moment, Jordan called out to Salvatore.

“Coming.”

Salvatore walked over and asked, “Mr. Jordan, what is it?”

Jordan took out a box from his pocket and handed it to Salvatore. He instructed, “There’s a pink pill in here, take it out and give it to me.”

“Okay.” novelbin

Salvatore handed the pink pill to Jordan from Jordan’s pillbox.

Popping it into his mouth, Jordan then downed it with a mouthful of water. He then closed his eyes to rest.

More than half an hour later.

Salvatore, who was lying on the luxurious sofa in the rest area, placed his dirty shoes on the white sofa before laying down to look at his cell phone.

‘There was a picture of Emily on his cell phone.

In the picture, Emily had long hair with cute bangs and was seated on the lawn smilingly, clad in a white dress.

“Ah, Miss Emily is really beautiful! She definitely beats Lauren and Victoria! Mr. Jordan, what are you thinking? How can tou not attracted to Miss Emily at all!”

Salvatore was lying on his back and staring at the picture of Emily. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her and he couldn’t help but want to kiss her!

Smack!

Asmack suddenly landed on Salvatore’s head.

It was Jordan!

Jordan rebuked furiously, “You beast. Emily? You’re just a slave and you want to kiss your master? Is she someone you can kiss?”

Salvatore panicked immediately and quickly got on his knees to apologize. “I’m sorry, Mr. Jordan, I was wrong. I… I definitely don’t harbor designs on Miss Emily! I was just…”

Salvatore was about to explain but he suddenly realized something even more amazing!

‘How does Jordan know that I want to kiss Emily!?!”

“ah!”

Salvatore exclaimed in surprise, “Mr. Jordan, you can see!”

Jordan hastily covered Salvatore’s mouth and gestured for him to hush. “shh, don’t yell!”

At this moment, Jordan’s eyes were obviously more energetic and vibrant than before. He had already regained his vision!

Slamming his mouth closed, Salvatore hurriedly quieted down, knowing that Jordan did not want him to alarm Russell.

Salvatore asked softly, “Mr. Jordan, how did your eyes heal? Weren’t the doctors at Houston Hospital completely helpless? Oh, I know, is it the pink pill I gave you just now?”

Jordan nodded. “Yes.”

The larger man was shocked. “Mr. Jordan, where did you get that medicine box from anyway? I noticed that you’d bring it everywhere even if you don’t take your phone with you.”

Jordan said, “This was given to me by my grandfather. Do you believe that the value of my pillbox is even higher than this private jet of Russell Miller’s?”

Salvatore laughed and said, “Yes! I believe whatever Mr. Jordan says! The Steeles are the most powerful family! Nothing will go wrong with being your subordinate! Haha!”

He was happy that Jordan’s eyes had gotten better and that he wouldn’t be punished by Pablo.

Jordan said, “My vision is still a little blurry and my eyes haven’t healed yet. I will continue to pretend to be blind. Just cooperate with me and remember not to tell anyone.”

“Continue to pretend to be blind? Why?” Salvatore did not understand.

Jordan said, “The person who harmed me this time is in hiding. I have to come up with a way to find him. Forget it. I’s not like you’d understand. Just do as I say. I’m going to get some rest now. Delete the photos of Emily from your phone. If I catch you being rude to Emily again, I’ll beat you up.. Watch it!”
