The Abandoned Husband Dominates Chapter 461-470


Chapter 461

Martin did not inform any outsiders about Jordan going blind, so only a small number of people present knew about it. Hearing Matthew exposing Jordan in public, everyone was astounded.

“Lauren’s husband is actually blind? That’s not right. I remember that he was clearly a normal person when they got married some time ago. He even toasted me!”

“He should have gone blind only recently. No wonder he has been wearing sunglasses. It turns out it’s to hide his blindness!”

“Ah, he’s so young and he’s already gone blind. I feel really bad for Lauren for being married to a blind man. How is she supposed to live from now on?”

“Even if the Steeles are powerful, she must divorce him!”

Seeing that the crowd was discussing incessantly, Martin got up and said, “Everyone, my grandson-in- law, Jordan, got into an accident some time ago and he was drugged, which resulted in his blindness. I hadn’t had the chance to inform you all about it.”

Hearing Martin’s words, everyone got up one after another.

“Whoever had the guts to lay a hand on Mr. Howard Sr’s grandson must have a death wish! Mr. Howard Sr, I will help you investigate this matter thoroughly!”

“That’s right, if you dare to touch the Howards, you’ll be going against us. We will definitely support Mr. Howard Sr.! We will punish the scoundrel!”

It could be seen that these bigwigs were still very supportive of Martin.

Hearing those people’s words, Cayden could not help but feel a chill in his spine but he knew that the identity of the guests were extraordinary because they were all not any weaker than the Huxleys. If

others were to know that he was the one who drugged Jordan, he would definitely be killed.

However, he felt that he had good acting skills. After all, he had slept with many A-list actresses.

Cayden was overjoyed to see that someone had exposed Jordan for being blind in public!

“Hah, it seems that someone has humiliated Jordan Steele for me. I don’t have to do anything myself. Great!”

Cayden remained seated quietly and drank some soup. Since Jordan chose to wear sunglasses, it was to hide his “flaw”, but Matthew actually exposed him in public mercilessly.

The viciousness of his heart was revealed.

However, Jordan sneered. “Master Matthew, it seems like you’re not that impressive.”

Jordan was worried that in case Matthew was powerful and smart enough to tell that he was pretending to be blind, it would ruin Jordan’s plans. He didn’t expect Matthew to fail to realize that he had been pretending!

Jordan continued, “I asked you to look at my face. So, can you tell if I’m blind or not?”

Matthew humphed coldly and said, “Don’t panic, let me see your face clearly! Your face…”

Matthew secretly exclaimed in amazement while sizing up Jordan’s face.

“This guy has a high and straight nose bridge. He’s very lucky in his career, wealth, and love. Except for some ups and downs in his relationships, everything else is simply perfect! Damn, this guy is handsome too!”

Matthew actually knew a little bit about face-reading, though it was only the tip of the iceberg. Besides, he could tell that Jordan’s face really was flawless.

Jordan was certainly not a perfect person but Matthew wasn’t capable enough to tell what Jordan’s true flaws were.

“What’s wrong, Master Matthew? How exactly is my face? Why aren’t you saying anything?”

Jordan was actually staring at Matthew too. He could already tell that Matthew was surprised by the results of his face-reading.

Any competent master of face-reading would definitely praise Jordan’s face if they see him.

In fact, Jordan had once gone on a vacation with Hailey to climb Mount Tai two years ago where an elderly lady insisted on reading Jordan’s face. He couldn’t refute so he eventually gave in.

In the end, she knelt to Jordan immediately after reading it! She even said that Jordan was a big shot who could dominate the world!

That statement made Hailey’s belly ache as she burst into laughter. When she returned home, she even told Sylvie about it as though it was the biggest joke.

Matthew swallowed his saliva and said, “Your life is tough! Your face is dark and so are your lips! You’re not blessed at all and you’re destined to be alone and miserable! Jordan, don’t think that you’ll live a happy life with security just because you married Lauren. Based on your face, I’ll boldly deduce that

you’ll surely suffer a failed marriage in this lifetime!”

“Your first marriage will definitely fail. The woman who is truly suitable for you and accompany you through your life is your second wife!”

After listening to this, Jordan smiled and said, “Honey, did you hear that? Master Matthew said that you are the woman who will accompany me through my life.”

Lauren said with a faint smile, “Well, it seems that Master Matthew is quite good at face-reading. To think that he even predicted that you’ve been divorced once.”

Matthew’s expression suddenly changed and he was entirely confused. “You… You’ve been divorced before?”

Matthew simply did not know that Jordan had been married once before, and thought that Lauren was Jordan’s first wife! After all, based on common sense alone, Lauren was a woman from a wealthy family who couldn’t possibly marry a divorced man!

Jordan said, “Yeah, I was married once, and that marriage like you said, ended in failure. Thank you for your blessings for Lauren and me to be together forever. After I lost my sight, I was worried that the two of us would be separated because of it. Master Matthew, you’ve given me a lot of

encouragement!”

At this moment, Cayden couldn’t help but curse softly under his breath, “That idiot, Matthew. How dare he come here and make a fool of himself without even getting a clear idea of Jordan’s situation!?”

Matthew originally wanted to say that Jordan and Lauren couldnt stay together forever but he ended up giving them his blessings instead. How could that work!?!

Matthew immediately changed his tone and exclaimed, “I… I read your face wrongly! You’re destined to end up alone without any woman to accompany you in this lifetime. Your second marriage is bound to fail too!”

At this moment, Brad interjected furiously before Jordan even retorted, “What nonsense are you f***ing saying? Are you trying to jinx my sister’s marriage?”

Marissa rebuked Brad, “Mind your language! Don’t be so uncultured.”

Jordan smiled indifferently. The fact that Matthew went back on his words was enough to prove that his face-reading abilities were nothing but a sham.

“What else do you see?” Jordan asked.

Matthew said, “I’ve learned traditional Chinese medicine too. I can find out about your health by taking your pulse!”

Holding out his arm, Jordan took the initiative and said, “Come on, take my pulse.”

Matthew took Jordan’s pulse while everyone watched. While taking his pulse, Matthew thought to himself in amazement, ‘Damn it, this guy is in great health. It seems like he doesn’t have any problems at all! No, it seems like the kidneys are a bit weak!”

Actually, it was because Jordan and Lauren had been suffering from insomnia last night and thus, started getting it on. Hence, he was rather fatigued now.

Matthew laughed and said, “Jordan Steele, you may seem to be strong and fit but your kidneys are ailing! To put it in layman’s terms, you have kidney deficiency! Hmph, as a man, I’m afraid you can’t even carry out your duties as a husband right now! You can’t give Lauren happiness at all.. You’re not

qualified to be her husband!”

Chapter 462

Not only did Matthew expose Jordan’s blindness, he even publicly accused him of being impotent. How despicable! For a man, being humiliated like this was even worse than being called a blind man!

Clarice Howard and many girls from the major families covered their mouths and laughed. Others believed Matthew’s claims and started discussing amongst themselves.

“Is Jordan really impotent? I didn’t expect this man to be so useless!”

“L feel so sad for Lauren. As a woman, she can’t find happiness in her married life. Sigh.”

“What a waste! What a waste! A woman with goddess-like looks and a figure like Lauren is married to an impotent man! Ah! Why didn’t she marry me?! I’ll definitely be able to make her a hundred times happier!”

Jordan was furious when he heard the scornful comments from the other guests! No one reacted much when Jordan’s blindness was revealed. They all just pitied him.

However, no one showed sympathy for his alleged impotency. Instead, they were full of endless mockery and jealous hatred!

He had such a beautiful wife, but he couldn’t satisfy her? What right did a man like him have to be Lauren’s husband?!

Jordan was livid. That b*stard Matthew dared to embarrass him in public! Since Jordan was pretending to be blind, he could not beat up Matthew just like that. He was not even supposed to know where Matthew was standing.

Therefore, Jordan waved at Matthew and said, “Mr. Manning, come here.”

“What’s the matter?”

Matthew walked forward.

Smack!

Jordan slapped Matthew!

Matthew’s glasses flew to the ground. Matthew was quite weak and skinny, and he almost fell to the floor.

“Mr. Manning, did you feel the strength of a real man?”

This b*stard dared to insult Jordan by saying that he was not a man. He was just asking for a beating!

Marissa immediately stood up and shouted at Jordan, “Jordan! Who allowed you to hit him?! This is your grandfather’s birthday banquet. Matthew is a guest of the Howard family. Don’t you know the proper way to behave?! Apologize to him now!”

Jordan was very angry and retorted. “Mother, you’re my mother-in-law and I’m your son-in-law. You heard what Matthew said earlier. He was slandering your own son-in-law. Instead of helping me, you’re defending him? Are you still fit to be my mother-in-law?!” Jordan questioned Marissa, accusing

her of not doing her duty as a mother-in-law!

The guests at present were all from upper-class society and knew what was right and wrong. They would not blindly stand on the Howard family’s side.

Unexpectedly, Marissa snorted. “Slander? Hehe, how would I know if Matthew is slandering you? Maybe he’s telling the truth. Iam indeed your mother-in-law, but don’t expect me to speak up for you in such matters. I can’t prove what you say is true or not!”

“You…”

Jordan was speechless at Marissa’s words. If he had known that night

Clarice said with a smile, “That’s right, Jordan. Mom can’t stand up for you on such matters. Lauren is the only one who can prove your claims. It’s useless to blame Mom.”

At this moment, Lauren finally stood up. She looked a little shy, but she still mustered her courage and said to Matthew.

“Matthew, you have no idea what you are saying. Let me tell you, my husband is… he’s… extremely formidable!”

“Uh”

Jordan was a little embarrassed by the word “extremely”.

Hearing Lauren’s praise, the women who were mocking Jordan looked at him again. However, their gazes were no longer mocking and disdainful. Instead, they were filled with envy. Some women even drooled!

Cayden was very unhappy when he heard this. He downed his drink in one gulp!

“Damn it! Why is it that every woman I like has been used by Jordan before! Hailey was like that, and now Lauren is the same!”

Cayden hated that Lauren was already Jordan’s woman. He always ended up picking up Jordan’s leftovers.

Matthew was young and had never been in a relationship before. Therefore, his viewpoint on love was more naive and stubborn. He couldn’t help grabbing Lauren’s hand and saying with agitation. “Lauren, don’t be with this blind man. I’ve liked you since the first time I saw you. I won’t marry anyone but

you!”

Lauren hurriedly tried to reject him. “Matthew, let go. Don’t be like this.”

Even Marissa felt that something was wrong when she saw Matthew holding Lauren’s hand. “Child, we can understand that you like Lauren, but you can’t do this.”

At this moment, Marissa was also mentally striking Matthew off her list of potential sons-in-law. He was too young and immature.

Jordan was very anxious. He clearly saw Matthew holding Lauren’s hand, but he could not reach out to separate them. As he was “blind, he should not be able to see what was happening.

Even if he knew, it was impossible for him to accurately figure out where their hands were.

“Atrocious!”

Jordan did not want another man’s disgusting hands in contact with his wife!

At that moment, Jordan suddenly felt a white thing spinning towards him!

Jordan panicked a little. He thought that the thing was aimed at him. He was still hesitating if he should pretend not to see it or dodge it in time. Unexpectedly, the object hit the back of Matthew’s hand!

“Ouch!”

Matthew cried out in pain. It was a spoon. It smashed into Matthew’s hand, forcing him to let go of Lauren.

At this moment, a young man’s voice came from the northwest direction. “You overestimate yourself. Stand up. The top of your head doesn’t even reach Ms. Lauren’s nose. Are you worthy of liking Ms.

Lauren?”

Matthew’s hand had swelled up. He shouted angrily, “Who? Who threw this spoon at me?!”

At this moment, a man with a recent figure stood up. “Me!”

“Who are you?” Matthew asked.

“Henry Zeller from Orlando!”

Jordan could not help glancing at him. This guy was the candidate from Orlando, the one who was known as the all-around genius. From the fact that he could accurately throw a spoon right at Matthew’s hand from so far away, this fellow seemed to be quite capable.

Marissa was afraid that Matthew and Henry would get into a fight and hurriedly said, “Henry, it’s time for your performance. Come here. Matthew, go back to your seat and rest.”

‘With those words, Henry walked over confidently and bowed respectfully to Martin.

Martin smiled and nodded at him. “Henry Zeller, what are you good at?”

Henry smiled. “Mr. Howard Sr., you should be asking what it is I am not good at.. There is nothing I cannot do!”

Chapter 463

There was nothing he couldn’t do!

What an arrogant brat!

Marissa smiled at Henry. “I’ve long heard that Henry is an all-around genius, the rare kind who only appears once in a hundred years. No matter the subject or skill, he can learn it in an instant. I also heard that he is well-versed in all kinds of martial arts.”

Henry pretended to be humble and said, “Aunty, you’re flattering me. I can’t say that I know everything, but I do know how to play the piano, guitar, drum, violin and cello. I also know football, table tennis, swimming, golf, wrestling and boxing.”

Everyone gasped. Henry was only in his early twenties. Was he really as good as he claimed?

“all-round genius?”

Jordan was also curious about this person. To be honest, the term “all-around genius” was also frequently used to describe Jordan. He had undergone all kinds of training from a young age. Basically, he knew everything Henry had listed earlier. Could it be that Henry had undergone the same kind of

demonic training?

Henry glanced at the piano in the courtyard and looked at Lauren.

“Ms, Lauren, let me play something on the piano for you? You can choose any piece you want. I can play it!”

Lauren was also shocked by this seemingly omnipotent person. She replied politely, “Today is my grandfather’s birthday. You should let him choose.”

“Idon’t know much about music. Henry, just play any song,” said Martin.

Henry nodded and said, “Alright, then I’l just play “The Well-Tempered Clavier” by Bach!”

Heading over to the piano, Henry sat on the black stool. He placed his hands on the keys and his fingers started dancing.

It was the Prelude and Fugue in C minor. It was a piece for a Grade 10 piano exam, and it was quite challenging.

Many people were praising him.

“This kid’s piano skills are not bad. He is at the Grade 10 level!”

“He is playing pretty fast, but it just sounds like a buzzing noise. Like a bunch of bees in the yard. Not very soothing to the ears.”

“That’s right. I think he just knows how to play the piano very fast. He has zero emotion! He can’t move me!”

“That’s enough. He’s an all-rounder and knows everything. The piano is not his main skill. He’s already very outstanding to be able to reach Grade 10!”

The song ended a few minutes later. Everyone applauded him.

However, as the saying went, there was a difference between being good and being great. He had chosen a classical tune by Bach and he couldn’t move all the guests with such a classical piece.

Although these guests were from the upper class, not everyone knew how to appreciate the arts. Some upper-class folks knew how to listen to classical music, admire artwork and savor red wine. However, not everyone from the upper class had reached those levels of sophistication. Therefore, some only

felt that the piano piece was boring.

“These fellows are so cold to my piano music. A bunch of tasteless fools! I might as well have played some trashy pop song!”

After performing the piano piece, Henry turned to Martin. “Mr. Howard Sr., I like basketball too. Shall I perform a slam dunk for you?”

“Slam dunk? Great! Someone, prepare a basketball hoop for Mr. Zeller,” Martin instructed.

Everyone was also curious. Henry was only about 1.8 meters in height and not considered very tall. Few people could play basketball well at that height. Many of them couldn’t even touch the hoop.

“This fellow has chosen skills that I’m good at.”

Jordan found it interesting. He did not expect himself to be so similar to Henry Zeller.

Soon enough, the staff had erected a standard basketball frame for Henry in the courtyard.

Holding a Spalding basketball, Henry approached Lauren with a smile.

“Ms. Lauren, I need a partner for this slam dunk performance. Can you help me?”

Lauren was taken aback. “Help you? Do you need me to pass you the ball?”

Henry replied, “More or less, but you don’t have to do much. You just have to raise the basketball high above your head. I’ll sprint over and take it from your hands for the slam dunk!”

It was not a rude or outrageous request. Besides, this was a performance for her grandfather. As his granddaughter, it was only right for her to participate.

“alright,” Lauren agreed.

“No!”

Just as Lauren was about to get up, Jordan immediately objected.

Basketball was very sacred to someone like Jordan who loved the sport!

‘When he was younger, he often fantasized that one day, he would be able to practice basketball with the woman he loved, and perform slam dunks together!

Just like Sakuragi Hanamichi and Haruko Akagi, and Chi Muging in the Slam Dunk comics… Jordan and Lauren had never played basketball together before. They had never performed a slam dunk together.

How could this sacred first time be snatched away by Henry! In Jordan’s opinion, Lauren’s first time on the basketball court was as important as her virginity! Therefore, Jordan objected to Lauren and Henry performing a slam dunk together.

Henry looked at Jordan furiously.

Clarice piped up. “Jordan, you’re too petty. They are just acting as partners for the slam dunk performance. We’re not asking your wife to dance with him hand in hand. Why are you objecting? Aren’t you being too petty?”

“Henry, let me help you.”

With that, Clarice stood up to help Henry out of his predicament.

“Thank you, Ms. Clarice.”

Henry thanked her. He boldly rolled his eyes at Jordan because he thought Jordan could not see.

With that, Clarice raised the basketball high in the air. Henry leaped up and grabbed the basketball. He then did a windmill action and slammed the ball into the basket!

Bang!

“Oh my god! A slam dunk! He can actually do such a thing!”

“His physique is amazing! Women should marry such a healthy man!”

“There are only a handful of people who can do a slam dunk at that height. Henry’s physical condition is superb!”

Even Lauren couldn’t help covering her mouth in surprise. “Impressive!”

“Impressive my ass! What’s so great about that? I can do it too!”

Jordan was extremely jealous when he heard his wife praising another man.

However, Henry was a tenth-grade pianist and could perform a slam dunk. In addition, he had accurately hit Matthew’s hand with a spoon.

This fellow was indeed a formidable all-around genius.

At the very least, Jordan had never met such an outstanding opponent among his peers.

‘When Jordan saw Lauren’s interested expression, jealousy surged in his heart. “It’s a pity that Lauren wasn’t there during the Olympics in Tokyo and didn’t see my Carolina-style slam dunk. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be amazed by a mere windmill slam dunk!”

Jordan clenched his fists. Henry had played the piano and performed the slam dunk for Lauren’s benefit!

“You dare to snatch my woman? You’re courting death!”

Chapter 464

This was not just a birthday celebration!

After all, Henry, Matthew and Cayden had been informed by Marissa that they were candidates to be Lauren’s next husband. So this performance was a competition for the Howard family’s new son-in-law!

Henry kept showing off his many skills and manly charm. All of this was for the benefit of Jordan’s wife, Lauren! As Lauren’s husband, how could Jordan tolerate other men acting so boldly in front of him?!

As he flashed a smile at everyone who had been praising him, Henry said, “Thank you, everyone. Actually, this isn’t my most impressive slam dunk. My most impressive move is a slam dunk while leaping over someone’s head!”

“slam dunk while leaping over someone’s head? Oh my god, you can do something so difficult?”

The guests were all shocked. Many of them expressed their desire to witness this feat.

A sudden idea seemed to have popped into Henry’s head and he walked toward Jordan. He asked, “Jordan, can you do me a favor? How about you stand under the basket and don’t move? I’ll leap over your head and complete the slam dunk.”

Jordan was already unhappy with Henry showing off in front of his wife. Now, this fellow dared to make such an insulting request! He wanted to leap over Jordan’s head for a slam dunk!

Bam! Jordan slammed the table angrily. “Henry, say that again if you have the guts!”

Henry was not scared at all when he saw that Jordan was angry. “Don’t worry, Jordan. I’m very good at jumping. I’ll clear your head and complete the slam dunk. I won’t end up riding on your neck. Haha.”

Jordan stood up angrily. “How dare you provoke me? You’re from Orlando. Don’t you know who I am?”

Jordan could be considered the King of Orlando!

After he became the President of Ace Corporation in Orlando, he monopolized almost all industries to take revenge on those who wanted to kill him. He had destroyed at least dozens of companies!

Up until now, the faces of many families and companies in Orlando would turn pale at the mention of Jordan Steele!

Henry laughed. “Does everyone from Orlando need to know who you are? Hehe, you think too highly of yourself. You were only the President of Ace Corporation for a while and dealt with a few small minions. After I returned to the state, I did hear about you from my friends. They said that you were so

awesome and domineering, That you were the richest man in Orlando and even managed to win over our number one beauty, President Victoria Clarke.

“Haha, but I’m sorry. The wealthiest in Orlando has always been the Zeller family. You are no match for us. Moreover, I’m very familiar with Victoria. Before I went abroad, she often asked me out for coffee, movies and drinks at bars. She even confessed to me that she wanted to be my girlfriend, but I

rejected her.

“Indeed, she’s quite beautiful. It’s a pity that she’s already 30 years old and an orphan. How can she be worthy of me?”

Jordan was furious. “Bullsh*t! Would Victoria chase after you?”

Henry said, “Why not? My family is the biggest in Orlando. I’m handsome, young and an all-around genius. I have many women pursuing me. Victoria is just one of the many.”

“Handsome? You?”

Even with sunglasses on, Jordan could see Henry clearly. Admittedly, his figure was not bad as he exercised regularly. However, his facial features could not be described as handsome. At most, they were only passable.

This shameless fellow actually called himself handsome?

Henry said shamelessly, “That’s right. I’m much more handsome than you. It’s a pity that you’re blind and don’t have the chance to see my handsome face!”

Ha. To think that Henry dared to deceive Jordan just because he could not see him. He wanted Jordan to think that the person standing before him was a perfect man who could not be faulted in every aspect. He wanted Jordan to back off and give up on Lauren.

Unfortunately, Jordan could see his face.

Henry said proudly, “Jordan, I’m the perfect man with handsome looks, multiple abilities, great talent, good family background. Only a man like me is worthy of Ms. Lauren. Since ancient times, only heroes are worthy of beauties. I have also admired Ms. Lauren for a long time, that’s why I rejected many

outstanding women, including Victoria.

“The reason why I didn’t pursue Ms. Lauren right from the start was that I wanted to continue improving myself. I swore to come to find Ms. Lauren after I became a perfect man. Jordan, if you’re not blind, I can fight you fair and square. I’ll make you feel ashamed and give up Ms. Lauren.

“It’s a pity that you’re already disabled. There’s no need for me to bully you. Just give up on this marriage and stop dragging Ms. Lauren down!”

Henry was challenging Jordan in front of the Howard family and all the guests. He boldly stated that he wanted to snatch Jordan’s wife!

However, when the Howard family heard Henry’s outrageous words, they all remained silent! They were giving tacit agreement to Henry to snatch Lauren away!

“Looks like the Howard family is already prepared to change their son-in-law. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have let Henry talk to Jordan like that.”

“That’s right. No wonder there’s an additional performance at this year’s birthday banquet. It looks like those who are participating in the performance are all potential sons-in-law.”

“No wonder. After all, Jordan is already blind. It’s not unreasonable for them to abandon him.”

“It’s a pity. I heard that Jordan was also an all-around genius when he was healthy. He might not lose to Henry in a proper competition!”

Everyone’s eyes were focused on Jordan.

Jordan only had two choices now. He could either defeat Henry and make everyone realize that he was stronger than him.

Or give up Lauren.

Jordan said, “You want to compete with me? Alright, it’s rare for someone my age to be as formidable as me. I’ll give you this opportunity!”

Henry was shocked. “You want to compete with me? What? You can’t even see!”

Jordan smiled. “That’s right. I’m blind now, but it is still no problem for me to win against you.”

Cayden’s interest was piqued as Jordan continued, “You performed the piano and slam dunk earlier. I’ll perform those two skills too.”

“Honey, help me to the piano.”

“Yes!”

Inall honesty, Lauren had had enough of the narcissistic Henry. Initially, she thought that Henry was somewhat good-looking, but not considerably handsome. She did not expect him to say so many outrageous things to Jordan. He even lied that he was very handsome. It was too disgusting.

Everyone was shocked.

“What is Jordan doing? Is he going to play the piano too?”

“[heard that the world-famous pianist, Evan Cadence, is his junior. His piano attainments are definitely above Henry’s!”

“But he’s blind now. He can’t see. Is he going to perform blind?”

Lauren smiled. Only she knew that Jordan was actually not blind. She knew that her husband would not lose face. Instead, he would shock the entire audience!

‘When Henry saw Jordan sitting by the piano, he asked loudly, “Jordan, what tune are you going to play?!”

Jordan answered, “Prelude and Fugue in G minor.”

Henry raised his eyebrows haughtily.. “If you can play this song blind, I’ll kneel and bow to you, then acknowledge you as my teacher!”

Chapter 465

‘The “Prelude and Fugue in G minor” was another prelude from Bach’s “The Well-Tempered Clavier”, which Henry had played earlier.

Jordan enjoyed a fair challenge. Since Henry had played a prelude from Bach’s “The Well-Tempered Clavier”, he would play a prelude from the same piece too. And Jordan’s choice of this prelude would definitely move the guests more than Henry’s earlier performance.

This prelude had tens of millions of views on music platforms. Even those who didn’t play the piano or listen to classical music would usually recognize the familiar tune.

Henry had heard of this prelude before. He knew that the speed of this piece was around 100 beats per minute. To play the piano blind at such a fast speed was simply a fool’s dream! He had expected Jordan to play something simple like “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’.

But this piece! To play this piece blind at the proper speed, one had to be highly coordinated with his hands. Henry didn’t believe that anyone in this world could do it!

Jordan snorted coldly at Henry’s provocation. “You want to acknowledge me as your teacher? I’m sorry, but you are not worthy! I don’t accept arrogant students!”

“You…”

Henry was furious, but he did not continue to argue with him. Anyway, Jordan was boasting in front of so many people. Henry wanted to see how he would live up to his claims!

It would not be too late for Henry to reprimand Jordan after he had failed!

The arena fell silent. Jordan placed his hands on the piano keys. At that moment, Lauren was still holding Jordan’s fingers as she guided him, “Hubby, this is middle C.”

“Okay.”

Jordan pretended he could not see and that he only managed to find the piano keys with his wife’s guidance.

Then.

Once his fingers pressed down on the keys.

A soothing melody flowed out of the piano!

Jordan’s hands danced over the piano keys. His speed was the same as the original. He did not slow down at all because of his blindness. Moreover, his accuracy was 100 percent!

It was true that Henry had some talent. Not only was his jumping skills outstanding, but he also had a good ear. So he would be able to detect if Jordan played a single wrong note!

However, after Jordan had been playing for nearly half a minute, Henry was surprised to find that he did not play a single note wrong!

“How is this possible?!”

Henry looked at Jordan in shock.

“If one has a son, he should be like Jordan!”

Jordan’s father-in-law, Stefan, smiled in relief when he saw his son-in-law’s blind performance.

Martin was shocked. “What kind of training did the Steele family give him?! He can play blind! He’s too outstanding!”

Even Marissa was bewildered. “Is Jordan… that formidable?”

She hoped that her son-in-law would be trash so that Lauren could divorce him without any qualms. However, even she had to admire his outstanding performance!

Needless to say, the other guests were all stunned.

The only person who should not be surprised was Lauren. She knew that Jordan was pretending to be blind.

Even so, she was also covering her mouth in shock! She realized that Jordan was not looking at the piano keys at all. Instead, his face was pointed into the distance, his eyes closed.

“He… is really playing blind!”

It was just a classic Bach piece. There was no need for Jordan to win against Henry with deception. Play the piano blind? So what? Jordan could do it with ease!

“Hubby…”

Seeing how majestic Jordan was now, Lauren admired him even more.

It was a very lovely and touching tune. It could make people lose themselves in their imagination.

In the beginning, everyone was just shocked by how Jordan could play blind. But they soon forgot about that. They were all immersed in the musical world that Jordan had created.

Of course, it was impossible for Jordan to really play the piano completely blind. He would still glance down occasionally at the keys.

No one noticed that at this moment, a female service staff in the courtyard was looking at Jordan in a daze. She was dressed in the staff uniform which was a cheongsam with tears flowing down her face.

This female service staff had astonishing looks. She had a voluptuous figure and was very curvy. Wearing that cheongsam, she looked like an upper-class lady.

“His eyes are fine… he’s not blind…”

The woman smiled happily as tears flowed down her face.

The piano performance ended and deafening applause rang out! It was 10 times louder than the applause for Henry’s earlier performance!

“Amazing! I’ve never seen a blind person play so well in my life!”

“His piano attainments are probably already at their peak!”

“Mr. Howard Sr., your grandson-in-law is a genius!”

Martin laughed. “You’re too kind.”

Henry felt very embarrassed. He couldn’t even compare to a blind person?

Sauntering over to the piano, Henry questioned, “Jordan, are you pretending to be blind? Are you trying to fool everyone and make them think that you can play blind?”

Cayden looked carefully at Jordan when he heard that.

Jordan replied calmly, “You suspect that I’m faking it? That’s easy. I’ll take off my sunglasses and cover my eyes with something else. I’ll play the piece again. If I can still play it, you must bow to me 10 times and call me Grandpa. How about that?”

Henry did not dare to take this gamble because he had seen that Jordan did not look at the piano keys most of the time while playing.

“Hahaha…” Henry gave a loud laugh.” I will admit that you can play the piano better than me, but then again, I never considered myself to be exceptional at the piano. I’m an all-rounder, not a specialist! ”

Jordan said, “I will teach you a lesson today, you self-proclaimed all-rounder! You performed a slam dunk just now, right? I will perform a slam dunk also.”

Everyone was stunned.

“What? The son-in-law of the Howard family is going to do a slam dunk?”

“Did I hear wrongly? A blind person who can’t even walk properly, yet he wants to jump up and do a slam dunk?”

Henry was also shocked. “Blind Slam Dunk!”

Actually, for people who knew basketball, such a slam dunk had been carried out before!

In the 1991 All-Star Game Slam Dunk Competition, Dee Brown performed a slam dunk while covering his eyes with one arm! With that, Dee Brown defeated Shawn Kemp and won the title of champion!

“No… impossible… he’s definitely no Dee Brown. Even Dee Brown only started to cover his eyes while in mid-air. He was able to see the hoop right up until then. Jordan can’t see anything now. He doesn’t even know where the hoop is. How can he slam dunk?!”

‘The crowd erupted. Martin stood up and said to the Howard family.

“If Jordan can complete the slam dunk while blind, I don’t want to hear anyone calling him trash anymore!”

His words were clearly directed at Marissa. She had always believed that Jordan was blind and could not do anything.. If Jordan could perform a slam dunk now, it would be akin to a tight slap across his

mother-in-law’ face!

Chapter 466

Henry looked at Jordan and asked, “Jordan, how do you plan to do your slam dunk? Do you want to stand under the basket and jump? Hehe, if that’s the case, I don’t think you need to perform anymore! I can also do the same blindfolded! And I can even perform a windmill slam dunk!”

For people with good jumping ability, it was very easy for them, they didn’t even need to look at the basket.

Jordan said, “Of course not. I want you to stand under the basket. I want to leap over your head!”

“What did you say?!”

The words made Henry infuriated. Jordan wanted to leap over his head! After all, he had made the same request to Jordan earlier, so Jordan wanted to humiliate Henry in the same way!

Henry, who had always been very arrogant, was naturally unwilling to let anyone jump over his head. But on second thought

‘Jordan is blind. He would probably fall to his death if he tried something so difficult!”

Henry felt that this was a good way to get rid of Jordan!

If anything happened to Jordan during this stunt, if he fell to the ground and got a concussion from hitting his head, Jordan would definitely cease being Lauren’s husband.

‘Then Henry would have a chance.

“Alright, I’m willing to let you leap over my head for your slam dunk!” Henry agreed.

But Martin stopped them. “No, we cannot allow such a risky move. It’s too dangerous.”

Martin was afraid that Jordan would lose his life from this stunt.

However, Jordan insisted, “Grandpa, don’t worry. I’ll be fine. I’ll definitely complete this slam dunk!”

This was the first time Jordan had called him Grandpa. Martin felt a warmth in his heart. He treated Jordan like his own child. However, this child was so stubborn.

Henry went to stand in front of the basket and said to the Howard family, “Uncle, Aunty, Ms. Lauren, don’t worry. If Jordan jumps and falls, I’ll support him and not let him get hurt.”

Although he was saying that, he was having completely different thoughts in his mind. He didn’t care if Jordan lived or died!

Wasting no further time, Jordan grabbed the ball with one hand and stood a few meters away from Henry. He suddenly sped up and charged!

Since Jordan was supposed to be blind, he pretended to rely on Lauren’s prompts.

Lauren waited for the right timing and called out to Jordan. “Jump!”

Jordan leaped into the air with the ball in one hand!

“Damn, his timing is so accurate!”

Henry was shocked. He had no idea that Jordan was not relying on Lauren’s prompt. Instead, Jordan was relying on his own eyes.

Jordan leaped high into the air and flew over Henry’s head!

“What?”

Henry couldn’t believe his eyes.

Bang!

Jordan slammed the ball into the hoop with one hand!

Everyone at present was dumbstruck!

However, just as Jordan was about to land, Henry suddenly turned and said, “T’ll catch you.”

Henry was pretending to be kind, but he suddenly stumbled and fell where Jordan was going to land! If Jordan really could not see and landed like that, he would probably sprain his ankle!

“Be careful!”

Jordan suddenly heard two very familiar voices.

One was Lauren, and the other seemed to be… Victoria!

There was no way Jordan would let Henry succeed. He avoided Henry’s body perfectly and did not step on him.

“Victoria… that was Victoria’s voice just now!”

Jordan looked around and suddenly noticed that one of the hotel staff standing in the distance looked like Victoria!

“Victoria!”

Jordan felt that this must be the real Victoria because he had already warned the fake one. She would never dare to pretend to be Victoria again! Moreover, Jordan recognized that voice. It was Victoria!

Jordan wanted to rush over but he could not do that! After all, he was blind right now and couldn’t see Victoria! If he rushed over to Victoria now, his blind act would be exposed.

If Cayden was really the culprit behind his attack, he would probably become even more cautious. Jordan would never be able to find anyone who harmed him!

After Victoria was spotted by Jordan, she disappeared into the sea of people. Lauren also turned to look but she could no longer see anyone.

“Hubby, are you alright?” Lauren asked with concern.

Clenching his fists, Jordan took a deep breath before lowering them to the ground. He shouted as he pumped his fists, “Why?! Why?!”

He was resentful!

He was feeling very aggrieved!

He had always dreamed of seeing Victoria again. But today, now that he finally saw her, he couldn’t chase after her!

“She must have heard that I was blind and specially came to see me.”

Jordan immediately guessed why Victoria was here. At the very least, this meant that she was free. She did not appear before him not because she could not, but because she did not want to.

“Has she given up on me? Does she really not want to be with me anymore?”

Jordan could not accept Victoria’s decision. He had to clear things up with her!

Cayden saw Jordan go into a frenzy and even accidentally punched Henry’s manhood. Cayden thought to himself.

“Why? Hehe, why are you blind? Because you antagonized me! Not only will I make you blind for the rest of your life, but I will also snatch your woman away! Soon, your beautiful wife will be under me! Just like your ex, haha!”

He had the confidence and the substance to back it up. He had managed to snatch Hailey away before. Therefore, he believed that he could steal Lauren too. novelbin

Salvatore hurried over when he saw Jordan in a frenzy. This was also one of Jordan’s goals. He wanted to lure Salvatore over.

Hugging Salvatore, Jordan whispered in his ear, “Victoria is here. Go after her.”

Salvatore was startled. Victoria was here, so perhaps Emily was also here. He immediately went to find her.

Meanwhile, Jordan gradually calmed down. Henry was beaten up by Jordan and was sent to the hospital for a checkup. The all-around genius had been turned into trash by the disabled Jordan.

The guests were full of praise.

“Mr. Howard Sr., although Jordan is blind now, he can still move freely. He can play the piano, walk and even jump. He’s not much different from a normal person.”

“Not bad. Moreover, technology is so advanced now. Blindness is no longer an obstacle. I heard that someone overseas has created a camera for blind people using AR technology. Blind people can also sense this world now.”

‘Martin was overjoyed as well.. He thought to himself: ‘If Jordan can live like a normal person, he might still be qualified to inherit the Howard family’s secret!”

Chapter 467

Stefan walked towards Martin as well and said softly, “Dad, it’s a little too early to give up on Jordan now. I think we should wait a little longer. Maybe he will turn for the better.”

As Jordan’s parents-in-law, Stefan and Marissa had completely different attitudes towards him.

It was apparent that Stefan was more tolerant of Jordan. Of course, he also hated Jordan for hurting his son. On the other hand, Stefan had some kind of history with Jordan’s aunt.

Martin had always wanted the Steele and Howard families to be connected by marriage. When Stefan reached the appropriate age for marriage, Martin wanted to matchmake his son and Jordan’s aunt, who was the younger sister of Jordan’s father.

They had met once before. Stefan was attracted by the other party’s carefree, beautiful and otherworldly aura. He instantly fell in love with her.

Unfortunately, their dalliance did not lead anywhere in the end.

Martin nodded. “That’s right. We can’t give up on Jordan so easily.”

Lauren helped Jordan back to his seat. Marissa felt guilty when she saw Jordan howling in anger and sorrow earlier. She felt that she had let him down. He was already blind and Lauren was all he had now, but Marissa still tried to snatch her away from him.

“Sigh.”

In the end, Marissa was still a woman after all. She felt pity for Jordan and she poured him a cup of tea, then took the initiative to bring it to him. “Jordan, have some tea. “Don’t be sad.”

Normally, Jordan would have felt honored and happy if his arrogant mother-in-law served him tea. However, Jordan was in no mood to talk to her now.

‘The only thing on his mind at this moment was Victoria!

‘Salvatore, you must catch up to Victoria!”

At this moment, Clarice suddenly cleared her throat. “Ahem, Aunt Marissa, the performance isn’t over yet. You invited all these young masters. Don’t keep everyone in anticipation. Let them perform.”

Marissa was taken aback. She thought that the performances were all done. Only then did she remember that Cayden, the most outstanding one in the group, had yet to perform!

“Yes, Cayden from the Huxley family!”

Cayden had given them a meteorite worth tens of millions. He was a VIP.

Hurrying over to Cayden, Marissa invited him over.

Cayden stood in front of Martin and said, “Mr. Howard Sr., I’m not that knowledgeable or cultured, and I don’t have much talent, so I won’t perform. I’ll only embarrass myself.”

Although Cayden had prepared some talents, he no longer planned to perform. Jordan had just played the piano and carried out a slam dunk blind. Any subsequent performance by Cayden would be nothing after that!

“However, I studied architectural design at university. In my spare time, I designed a villa in the capital which garnered awards for interior, architectural and garden at the Architecture Master Prize.”

Marissa’s eyes lit up. “Wow, the Architecture Master Prize is a major global award. Your design must be very beautiful. Do you have any photos? Let me see them.”

“Yes, I do.”

Cayden returned to his seat and brought over a magazine. It had photos and detailed information about Cayden’s villa.

‘Taking the magazine, Marissa flipped through it. She saw a beautiful and modem photo of the villa.

“Lauren, come and take a look. Cayden’s villa is so beautiful,” Marissa said as she leaned toward Lauren.

Lauren also liked design very much. She didn’t expect Cayden to be so talented in design either.

She looked at the villa carefully and praised it. “Yes, it’s indeed beautiful. The materials used are simple. Just wood, stone and glass. I like this design.”

Cayden was delighted by Lauren’s praises. He took the initiative to describe further. “Yes, be it the overall structure or extensions, including the furnishings in the room, the main theme is classical elegance. Ms. Lauren, it looks like we have the same taste.”

Lauren could feel his deep and meaningful gaze. Although he was behaving politely on the surface, his eyes were another matter. They were full of amorous intent and it was obvious that he was trying to seduce Lauren.

The only reason he dared to flirt with Lauren like this was because he believed that Jordan could not see.

“Despicable Cayden, how dare you try to seduce my wife!”

Of course Jordan saw everything. At that moment, he finally dragged himself out of his reverie about Victoria.

Marissa was still looking at the magazine and suddenly said in surprise, “Wow, Lauren. Look, the name of the villa is ‘The Laurel’. That’s so close to your name. He named his villa after you!”

Lauren was also shocked. She took a closer look and saw that it was indeed called “The Laurel”!

The Laurel?

Jordan was stunned as well. Cayden actually named his villa after Lauren.

Jordan immediately thought of “Hailey Residences”, which had been named after Hailey. It seemed like Cayden wanted to copy him.

He could not help feeling jealous and asked, “Cayden, you used my wife’s name for your award- winning design. Are you planning to give this villa to my wife?”

Cayden looked at Jordan. However, he was not as brash as the earlier men. Instead, he explained politely.

“Jordan, yes, I plan to give this villa to you and Ms. Lauren. The two of you can stay together there.”

Jordan was shocked. Was this guy really so generous? He wanted to give him the villa?

“Are you sure you want to give it to me?” Jordan asked.

Cayden smiled. “You’re Ms. Lauren’s husband. Of course your name has to be included in the gift. I’ve brought the contract. Ms. Lauren, Jordan, you can sign it. The Laurel will be your new love nest.”

Jordan was very surprised by Cayden’s actions!

“Damn it, Cayden is such a hypocrite. He’s not easy to deal with!”

Jordan knew that Cayden would never be so generous as to give him the villa, especially since he had harmed him. He had even personally designed it as a love nest for Jordan and Lauren?

He probably specially designed it for Lauren alone! However, Cayden wanted to curry favor with Jordan and dispel his suspicions!

However, the more Cayden did that, the more Jordan suspected that he was guilty!

“Thave to find the culprit who harmed me as soon as possible and find Victoria!”

Jordan wanted to settle this as soon as possible. Therefore, he suddenly said to Cayden, “Cayden, can you help me to the hotel?”

“Oh, okay.”

Cayden did not understand Jordan’s motives but he pretended to be friendly. He helped Jordan to the hotel lobby and did not try to do anything strange.

After they sat down, Jordan asked, “Do you have a cigarette?”

Cayden handed one to Jordan and lit it for him.

After taking two puffs, Jordan sighed and said, “Cayden, we’ve known each other for a long time. I know your situation well.. If the Howard family wants to choose another husband for Lauren, I hope that the person will be you!”

Chapter 468

Cayden, who was sitting beside Jordan, jumped up in shock!

He couldn’t help but stammer, “J-Jordan, what are you talking about? You and Lauren are a match made in heaven. I… I have never thought of snatching your wife! Did you misunderstand me? Actually, it was your mother-in-law who invited me and specially instructed me to give your wife a gift to make

her happy. I don’t know anything aside from that.

“The original name of that villa was not ‘The Laurel. | changed it at the last minute. If you don’t believe me, you can check the official website.”

Jordan reached out a hand and said, “Cayden, don’t be so anxious. Sit down. Actually, the relationship between Lauren and I is beyond salvageable. We’re destined to divorce!”

Cayden sat down and asked, “How can that be?”

Jordan sighed and said, “You have no idea. I’ve always had a conflict with the Howard family. The Howard family tried to kill me once. I was the one who broke Brad’s legs. They made me their son-in- law because they wanted to use me to get the Steele family secret. novelbin

“Now that I am a cripple, I’m useless to them. Moreover, I don’t want to implicate Lauren. Therefore, our divorce is destined!”

Cayden was delighted. Jordan’s words made sense. He did not realize that Jordan was just trying to trick him!

Jordan continued to lie. “My mother-in-law shortlisted more than 10 men for Lauren. However, I have no idea what the rest look like apart from you. I don’t feel secure about any of them. But I know you very well. I know that you’re not bad in terms of family background, looks, physique or character.

“Hailey married you while carrying my child last year. During those 10 months, you cared for her and doted on her like a princess. If it were me and my wife was pregnant with another man’s child, I wouldn’t even smile at her, much less treat her well. Just based on this, I know you would definitely treat

Lauren and my daughter well if you marry her.”

Cayden slapped his thigh in excitement after being praised by Jordan. “Of course! I’m a man who loves my wife. I never flare up at women! If Lauren marries me, I’ll definitely treat her like a princess!”

“Jordan… Are you really willing to give your wife to me?”

Who would be willing to give such a beautiful wife to someone else?

Of course, there was no way Jordan would give his wife away. However, in order to lure Cayden into his trap, he had no choice but to bait him with this so that he would expose himself.

Although Jordan had the capability and the men, Cayden would never admit to his crime even if he was tortured to death.

Some people might think that it was better to kill the wrong person than risk letting the real culprit off. However, what if the culprit was not one of Jordan’s past enemies, such as Cayden, but someone else?

Once he confirmed that Cayden was the culprit, Jordan would be able to carry on his life in peace after killing him.

Jordan said, “Of course I can’t bear to! But so what if I can’t bear to?! I’m blind. Do I want Lauren to serve me forever?! You know my personality very well. A proud person like me will never drag Lauren down with me for the rest of her life!”

Cayden nodded. It was true that Jordan would never be such a selfish scoundrel.

At the thought of this, Cayden hugged Jordan excitedly. “Brother! You’re my blood brother from now on! Thank you! I’ll definitely treat Lauren and your daughter well. I swear!”

Pushing Cayden away, Jordan interjected, “Hey, wait. Don’t thank me yet. I can give Lauren to you, but I have one condition.”

Cayden said excitedly, “Tell me! I’ll agree to 10 conditions if need be!”

He thought that as long as he could marry a great beauty like Lauren and be connected to the famous Howard family through marriage, he would be willing to do anything.

“My condition is that you have to help me find the culprit who blinded me.”

Cayden was stunned for a moment. “Find the culprit?”

Jordan said, “I suspect that it was your cousin, Tyler, who caused me to lose my sight. I sent someone to castrate him because of Hailey. He disappeared after that and I can’t find him. He’s the person who’s most likely to take revenge on me!”

In reality, Tyler was in Thailand and had been under Jordan’s surveillance all along. After Jordan lost his sight, his men immediately interrogated and investigated Tyler. There were surveillance cameras and various other evidence that proved Tyler’s innocence.

Actually, Jordan had an ulterior motive for accusing Tyler.

Cayden was stunned. “You castrated him?”

Ever since Cayden and Tyler went their separate ways, they had not contacted each other at all. This was the first time Cayden had heard about what happened to Tyler.

Cayden thought for a moment and said, “It must be that b*stard, Tyler! That kid is vengeful. Back then, he knelt before me and begged me to help him take his revenge on you, for causing the Collin family to go bankrupt. If that b*stard hadn’t begged me to chase after Hailey, I wouldn’t have provoked

you, Brother Jordan!”

Jordan snorted coldly in his heart: “You’re the one who’s audacious enough to do whatever you want. You’re the one who saw Hailey and disregarded me. That’s why you so blatantly snatched my woman. How dare you pin all the blame on Tyler!

Outwardly, Jordan said, “Let’s not talk about the past. Anyway, I’ve divorced Hailey, and you’re Tyler’s cousin. If you can find him and the evidence that he harmed me, I’ll personally send Lauren to you!”

Cayden couldn’t help conjuring the image of Lauren lying on his bed. He swallowed hard.

Marrying Lauren would be a major boon for both himself and the Huxley family!

Almost immediately, Cayden agreed. “Alright! I’ll definitely capture that b*stard Tyler and hand him to you!”

“Okay, let’s go back.”

Jordan stood up slowly.

Cayden quickly helped Jordan. “Brother Jordan be careful. Come, I’ll hold you. Walk slowly. Be careful of the steps.”

Cayden served Jordan as though he was his grandfather. When he returned to his seat in the courtyard, Cayden immediately looked at the radiant Lauren and thought to himself.

“This woman will be my wife soon. Hailey and Lauren. Hahaha, I wonder which of these two women will be more unforgettable? Hehe.’

Even as Cayden continued his wicked fantasies, he asked Lauren politely, “Ms. Lauren, shall we exchange phone numbers?”

Lauren didn’t agree. She never messaged unfamiliar men.

However, Jordan said, “Honey, exchange numbers with Cayden. Since the two of you love design, you should be able to get along well.”

Chapter 469

What?!

Marissa, Clarice and the others were all shocked by Jordan’s words. They could not believe their ears.

To think that Jordan agreed to Lauren exchanging numbers with another man! Hadn’t Jordan taught those son-in-law candidates a lesson earlier? Why this sudden change when it came to Cayden?

Could it be because Jordan knew Cayden from before?

But their relationship wasn’t that good.

Lauren was a little surprised, but she was obedient to her husband. “Oh, alright.”

Taking out her cell phone, Lauren added Cayden’s number.

Clarice laughed when she saw that. “Jordan, you’ve finally come to your senses. You’re willing to give in. That’s right. If you love someone, you don’t have to cling to her forever. It’s enough to just see her being happy. Oh, I’m sorry. I forgot you can’t see. Haha.”

Marissa was very happy as well. Soon, she wouldn’t need to face Jordan every day!

Soon though, the birthday banquet came to an end.

Jordan and Lauren were in the same car. Lauren was driving the brand-new white Bentley Continental.

In the car, Lauren asked, “Hubby, why did you ask me to exchange numbers with Cayden? Also, I know that you and Cayden aren’t friends, but you seem to be on good terms today.”

“I suspect it was Cayden who sent someone to poison me.”

“What?” Lauren instantly slowed down. “Why did you want me to exchange numbers with him then? You want me to probe him?”

Jordan shook his head. “He’s very smart, and if anything, he’s even more hypocritical than before. It’ll be very difficult for you to find any evidence from him. I had a one-on-one chat with him today. I told him that you and I were about to get a divorce, and I was willing to entrust you to him.”

Lauren quickly turned on the signal lights and stopped the car by the side. “Hubby, are you giving me away?”

Jordan said with a smile, “Of course not. I’m not really blind. I asked him to help me find the culprit of my condition. If he was the one behind it, he would naturally give himself away!”

Taking Lauren’s hand, Jordan said, “Don’t worry, Honey. I won’t let him touch a single strand of your hair.”

“Okay.” Lauren was unwilling to have anything to do with Cayden. “T’ll have Felicia use my phone to exchange messages with Cayden. Let have her pretend to me.”

“alright.”

Meanwhile, in the hotel parking lot, Cayden had returned to the Mercedes-Benz G-wagon where Shane was waiting.

“Hahahaha…”

Cayden laughed euphorically the moment he opened the car door. He couldn’t believe how well the evening had turned out.

Shane was lying down and resting. When he saw Cayden’s happy expression, he immediately sat up and asked, “Cayden, what are you so happy about?”

Cayden said, “Brother, that brat, Jordan, has already agreed to let me have Lauren!”

“What? Jordan gave his wife to you?” Shane felt that something was wrong.

Cayden smiled. “Yes, that blind man said that he didn’t want to drag Lauren down for the rest of her life and he is planning to get a divorce. He’s unsure about the other candidates, but he knows me quite well and thinks I’m worthy of Lauren. However, he has one condition. He asked me to capture Tyler.”

“What for?” Shane asked curiously.

Cayden continued with a smile, “Jordan had Tyler castrated. So Jordan now suspects that Tyler is the one who caused his blindness. Haha, this idiot.”

However, Shane said cautiously, “Cayden, be careful of a trap! Jordan is not a simple person. Could he be setting you up?”

Cayden said, “No, he’s not. You have no idea. The Howard family doesn’t even like him. His mother-in- law held a public selection for a new son-in-law right in front of him. She doesn’t take Jordan seriously at all. It’s quite obvious that Jordan and Lauren will get a divorce. Moreover, Jordan suspects that

Tyler is the culprit. As long as I can convince Tyler to take the blame, Jordan will never suspect me. Isn’t that the best outcome?”

Shane thought for a moment and nodded. “It will be a good thing if that’s the case.”

Cayden patted Shane’s shoulder and said, “Haha, brother, don’t worry. There won’t be a problem this time. After I settle this matter, I’ll marry Lauren and bring honor to our family!”

Likewise, Shane also hoped that Lauren could become his sister-in-law!

“Alright, Tl take you to the airport now. Go to Orlando to find Aunt Rosie. She will know where Tyler is.”

With that, Shane stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the airport.

At night, Cayden came to an ordinary neighborhood.

“Cayden, come and have some tea.”

Rosie brought a cup of tea to Cayden with a smile on her face. Although she was no longer as gorgeous as before, she had a good figure and looked good in anything.

“Thank you, Aunt.”

Cayden thanked her politely.

Tyler’s father, Leonard, was also sitting on the sofa. However, he was staring at the television, ignoring Cayden.

That was because when he went to the Huxley residence previously, the Huxleys did not treat him as a guest.

Cayden said, “Aunt, Uncle, I came to invite Tyler to be the company’s vice president at Breezy Express.”

“What? Vice President of Breezy Express?”

Leonard and Rosie were shocked. They knew that Breezy Express had recently regained its former dominance in the logistics world.

Leonard asked in disbelief, “If my son becomes the vice president of Breezy Express, won’t his status be on par with you and Shane? Would the Huxleys be so kind?”

Even Rosie, who was from the Huxley family, didn’t believe that the Huxleys would do such a thing. She desperately hoped that her father would dote on Tyler, but even so

Cayden said, “Uncle, the Huxley family suffered a huge setback previously and suffered a lot before returning to our peak. My grandfather learned a lesson from that experience. The family must be united!

“Aunt was born into the Huxley family and we also consider Tyler to be a part of the Huxleys. Therefore, Grandpa hopes that Tyler can come to the company to help. With more people, we will be stronger. Only when our family is united will we not be afraid of being attacked!”

The words moved Rosie to tears as she held Leonard’s hand excitedly. “Dad has finally come to his senses. He has finally accepted us.”

Leonard was also very happy. He was bankrupt now. If he could have the Huxleys’ help, it would only be a matter of time before he regained his former wealth and status!

Seeing that his deception was working, Cayden immediately asked, “Aunt, Uncle, where is Tyler now? I want to see him.”

Rosie said, “He went to Thailand and didn’t tell us his address as he said that he didn’t want us to find him. I’ll send you his current number. Go over there and persuade him to return to the country. Tell him that his two children are waiting for hit

Cayden was shocked again. “Tyler has children?”

It seemed like his aunt was a rather far-sighted and capable person. She had planned ahead and had Tyler father children in advance.. Otherwise, the Collin family would have no descendants!

Chapter 470

The following night in ONYX nightclub in Bangkok, Thailand.

Under the DJ’s control of the music and the scene, all the patrons of the nightclub were getting high, shaking their heads to the rhythm of electronic dance music.

Cayden, however, was seated quietly and sipping on some whiskey. He wasn’t in the mood to party as he was waiting for Tyler.

After contacting Tyler last night, he asked him to meet him here.

Soon after, a charming woman with long hair came over, patted Cayden’s shoulder with her hand and pointed to the door. She seemed to be trying to get Cayden to go outside for a chat.

Cayden thought it was because he was handsome and that some girl in the nightclub had taken a liking to him so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, “Sorry, I’m waiting for someone.”

However, the woman stubbomly took Cayden’s hand in a bid to drag him away.

Cayden snapped in exasperation, “Woman, what’s wrong with you? I told you I’m waiting for someone. Don’t you understand English?”

Cayden continued to sit down and drink.

To his surprise, the woman was completely speechless and she leaned in before exclaiming loudly into his ear, “I’m Tyler Collins!”

Cayden snorted and almost spat out his wine after hearing those words. He looked at the woman in front of him in horror.

“This is f***ing Tyler Collins?

‘The music in the nightclub was way too loud and the lights were dim. The two of them walked out of the nightclub and Cayden began scrutinizing the woman in front of him.

“Damn it! Tyler Collins, you… you went for a gender reassignment surgery! No wonder you refused to come home. If your parents find out about this, they’re going to hit the roof!”

Cayden discovered that Tyler had really changed drastically. He had become thinner and fairer. Not only that, he had cosmetic surgery done on his face too!

From afar, he looked like a bona fide sexy bombshell!

Cayden said, “I’ve heard about what happened to you. That bastard Jordan Steele actually pulled such a ruthless move on you! Don’t worry, I’ll definitely avenge you!”

Tyler took out a box of lady’s cigarettes from his Chanel bag and smoked one. He said, “Don’t rake up the past again. We can’t afford to mess with Jordan Steele. Besides, I think it’s pretty good being a woman.”

Cayden was speechless.

It seemed that Tyler was very satisfied with the status quo!

“By the way, what did you come here to look for me for?” Tyler asked as he exhaled a smoke ring.

Cayden asked, “Do you know that Jordan Steele has gone blind?”

Pretending to be shocked, Tyler asked, “Blind? No, who’s the culprit?”

Cayden answered, “Jordan Steele suspects that you’re the one who drugged him.”

Tyler immediately seemed innocent. “Oh God, I didn’t harm him. I’m a woman now and I don’t have any abilities to deal with a scion like him.”

Patting Tyler on his shoulder, Cayden said, “I know you’re not the culprit but I hope that you’ll take the rap for it!”

Tyler pushed Cayden’s hand away with disdain. “Why should I own up for something I didn’t do?”

Cayden said, “I shall be honest with you. Jordan has a wife named Lauren Howard now and she’s the heiress of a famous family in DC. She’s really pretty too. After Jordan went blind, he decided that he would divorce Lauren. He promised to let me have her once I help him find the culprit.

“Tyler, if you’re willing to help me with that, I’ll let your father return to his heyday and I’ll even help him achieve greater glory than he did by making him the richest man in Orlando! And I’ll treat your child as my own too. I’ll even give them some shares of Breezy Express. What do you think?”

Behaving rather timidly, Tyler said, “But the problem is I didn’t do it. Even if I admit to it, Jordan wouldn’t believe me.”

Cayden smiled and said, “Rest assured, I’ll bring along the waitress who spiked Jordan’s drink that day. When the time comes, you just have to say that you instigated her to do it. I’ll plead for mercy on your behalf. At most, he’ll beat you up into a pulp and nothing more than that.”

Tyler was bewildered. “Why would you know the waitress who spiked Jordan’s drink? Are you the one behind it?”

Cayden thought to himself that there was no harm in letting Tyler know the truth since Tyler hated Jordan as much as he did.

“That’s right, I sent someone to drug him! That beast Jordan deprived you and me of the ability to be real men. Poisoning him to make him go blind is considered a light punishment!”

Tyler sighed regretfully. Despite wanting to take revenge on Jordan, he knew that nothing good would come out of messing with Jordan again.

He also knew that his cousin was dead meat!

The two agreed to go back to DC to see Jordan together early the next morning, and that night, Cayden returned to the Amana Hotel in Bangkok.

The thought of being able to officially court Lauren after finishing the task Jordan had given him tomorrow made him really excited.

Cayden once again opened the text message chat box with Lauren. He had deliberately set Lauren’s photo as the chat background and every time he saw her gorgeous face in the photo, his heart would surge with excitement and joy.

He honestly felt that Hailey and Lauren were on par in terms of beauty but Hailey had never given him such a huge impact before!

‘The reason was that Lauren’s family was much wealthier than Hailey’s and a tier superior to the Huxleys. Just on this point alone, Lauren’s beauty was superior to Hailey’s!

Just like how most women love rich people, men too, love rich girls who are unattainable and have superior family backgrounds.

Cayden slowly typed out a text message and sent it to Lauren.

“Lauren, I’ve found the culprit who poisoned your husband. It’s that bastard Tyler! I’ve caught him and I’ll take him to DC tomorrow so that Jordan can deal with him!

Lauren quickly replied, “Amazing, thank you!”

In fact, the one who replied to the text wasn’t Lauren herself but her maid, Felicia. Since the two of them had exchanged numbers, Felicia had been the one responding and chatting with Cayden via text message.

Because she was younger, her speaking style was really cute and she would send some emoticons and stickers from time to time, causing Cayden to mistakenly believe that this was a sign of Lauren becoming very fond of him.

Cayden was just as excited to receive a reply. He continued to ask, “Is Jordan asleep?”

“Yes!”

Cayden said, “Lauren, can I chat with you via voice message?”

Cayden had drunk some alcohol so he was quite tipsy at the moment. Besides, after chatting with her for over a day, Cayden felt that it was time to take things a step further because he realized how enthusiastic she seemed to be in her replies!

For example, he wanted to whisper some raunchy sweet nothings.

Felicia, who was in the maid chamber in Lauren’s home, felt like she was getting a headache. She replied, “My throat hurts, I don’t wish to speak…”

Cayden replied, “It’s okay, you can stay silent. I’ll be satisfied even with just hearing you breathe… Lauren, you’re just like a goddess from Heaven to me. Your breathing and smile are enough to make one feel really satisfied…”

Felicia immediately felt that his words were really mushy and she couldn’t help but mutter, “Cayden Huxley is lusting over someone who’s out of his league.. How dare he try to court Lauren!?”
