The Abandoned Husband Dominates Chapter 471-480

Chapter 471

“Is it okay?” Cayden repeated.

Lauren had given complete authority to Felicia to deal with Cayden. Although Felicia hated Cayden, she couldn’t just patronize him. Since Cayden said it was okay for her to stay silent and let him hear her breathe, Felicia finally replied, “Okay.”

Seeing the reply, Cayden was overjoyed and immediately called her.

There was nothing but silence.

From the second the call was connected, the two parties had been extremely quiet. Cayden asked softly, “Lauren, is Jordan sleeping next to you?”

Felicia assented.

Cayden was overjoyed and proud. “Hahaha, Jordan Steele, how is it? I’m still better than you, aren’t I!?! Your wife waited for you to fall asleep and secretly called me, just like when Hailey Camden came to the hospital for a rendezvous with me!

“So what if you broke my finger and caused me to become infertile!?! You’ll never be as good as me when it comes to toying with women! I’ve taken every wife you’ve ever had away from you. Hahahaha!”

Cayden was overjoyed because he thought that Lauren was answering the call beside Jordan.

If that was the case, Lauren being willing to answer the phone so late at night meant that she had a good feeling about Cayden!

Cayden continued, “Lauren, you are so gorgeous. You’re one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever met in my life. To be honest, I’ve never had an inferiority complex all my life but when I met you, I suddenly feel that my self-esteem has dropped somewhat…”

However, faced with Cayden’s confession, Felicia didn’t respond, for fear that she would let the cat out of the bag.

Cayden said softly, “Lauren, I know you still like Jordan now but he’s a really arrogant person and he has gone blind now. How can he bear to implicate you? Ah, Jordan has already said that he would divorce you and hand you over to me.

“How can Cayden Huxley be worthy of you? I don’t even dare to fantasize about cuddling with you in my dreams because I don’t think I’m worthy at all! However, Jordan is my close friend who’s in the same boat as me. Since he already gave me those instructions, how can I let him down!?! Lauren, if you

give me a chance, I promise to only love you in this lifetime. I will make you the happiest woman in the world!”

All the while, Cayden kept confessing to her but she didn’t respond. However, although Lauren did not say yes, she didn’t say that she wasn’t willing either.

So Cayden took her silence as consent!

Cayden was elated. “Lauren, I know Jordan is right next to you now so you’re too shy to talk about this. Besides, you’re not divorced yet. But I’m already grateful enough for the fact that you’re willing to quietly listen to my confession and not reject me! We’ll get to see each other tomorrow. It’s getting late,

go get some rest.”

At this moment, Felicia assented again.

Hearing Felicia’s voice, Cayden mistook it for Lauren’s. He covered his phone and closed his eyes to reminisce. “What a gentle voice… Lauren must have conceded with silence! I’ve long heard that

Lauren is a fussy and ill-tempered woman who behaves like a princess. If she doesn’t like a man, she will turn

him down directly without mercy even if he has a noble status. Yet, she didn’t reject my confession just now! Hahahaha Lauren Howard will soon become my woman!”

Late at night, Cayden brought two people over to Lauren’s home.

Jordan, Lauren and Tim were all sitting in the house and had been waiting for a long time.

Cayden entered with Tyler and a young woman.

“Jordan Steele! Lauren…”

Cayden greeted Jordan and Lauren excitedly, completely unaware that today would be the day of his death!

Lauren happened to be wearing a very grand and beautiful low-cut dress that she had worn to a party that she accompanied her father to attend this afternoon.

From the moment Cayden saw her, his imagination ran wild and he could hardly contain his desire. ‘Is Lauren wearing this dress because of me? She really does value me as her future husband, haha!”

Cayden was completely unaware that when one was closer to success, they also tended to be closer to danger!

“Cayden, did you bring Tyler Collins?” Jordan asked.

With a brusque chuckle, Cayden said flippantly, “Yeah, this woman is Tyler. Oh, right, I forgot that you can’t see anything, Jordan, you know what? After Tyler was castrated by you, this kid went for a gender reassignment surgery and has now become a woman.”

“Who’s that woman beside Tyler?” Jordan asked.

Cayden hurriedly replied, “This woman is the person Tyler sent to drug you! Speak up!” Cayden barked at the young woman.

The young woman hurriedly got on her knees to beg Jordan for mercy. “Mr. Jordan, I’m sorry! It was me who drugged you to harm you that night under Tyler’s instigation. Please spare my life.”

The young woman had long been bribed by Cayden. Even if she was asked to die here, she was willing to do so because Cayden had paid her enough.

“What kind of drug did you use to harm me?” Jordan asked.

The young woman took out a bottle of medicine and handed it to Jordan.

Jordan asked in bewilderment, “My doctor said that he has never seen the drug that was used to drug me. Cayden Huxley, who made this bottle of drugs?”

Cayden said, “It’s from an amazing doctor Tyler found in Thailand. I tried to find him for you but to no avail. Jordan, I’ll help you find a doctor later. It’s up to you to deal with Tyler and this woman, regardless of whether you want to kill them or hit them!”

After saying that, Cayden took the initiative to walk toward Lauren and he even fantasized about reaching out to touch her hand. “Lauren, something bloody might happen next. I’ll take you outside first.”

Cayden felt that with Jordan’s personality, he would give Tyler and the young woman a harsh beating. He might even break their limbs. So he wanted to bring Lauren away as a gentlemanly gesture.

However, to his surprise

smack!

Lauren slapped Cayden on his face and snapped, “I’m Jordan’s wife. Who are you to touch me!?! Also, who are you to call me by my name?”

At this moment, Lauren already knew that Cayden was the piece of trash who harmed Jordan so she stopped being polite.

Covering his face, Cayden was bewildered by the apparent ire she held toward him. “Lauren, we were having a good chat last night. How did you…”

Lauren said, “Cayden, listen carefully, I’ve never even said a single word to you at all. It was my maid who texted you!”

“What?”

Cayden was astonished. At this moment, he looked at Jordan again, only to see that Jordan was slowly getting up from his seat with fury in his eyes.

Cayden suddenly got goosebumps all over! Then a prickling feeling of dread washed over him as he recalled something that Jordan said earlier.

“No, this isn’t right! How did you know that the person beside Tyler was a woman? Jordan, you… You’re not blind!”

Chapter 472

Only then did Cayden realize that Jordan could see!

Jordan’s gaze was like a blazing torch as his eyes were emitting endless light and fury. He obviously wasn’t blind! He recalled Cayden drugging him and then pretending to be innocent and addressing him with respect before trying to snatch Lauren away.

Previously, Jordan had given Cayden a chance to live but today, he would no longer have that opportunity!

Bang!

Jordan punched Cayden in one of his eyes!

“Arghhhh!”

Cayden immediately shrieked in pain and covered his eyes with both hands. Jordan had not held back and he was certain that his eye would swell up in no time. novelbin

“Cayden Huxley, of course you want me to go blind! You want to take revenge on me and snatch my wife away again. But I’m telling you, Lauren is not Hailey. Not to mention that I’m not blind, even if I was, you would never be able to snatch her away from me!”

Lauren looked at Jordan gratefully, feeling heartened about what he said about her and Hailey. That also showed that Jordan didn’t think that Lauren was as heartless and disloyal as Hailey who would abandon her husband for another man, as long as they treated her well and were rich.

Horrified, Cayden hurriedly jumped in to explain, “Jordan, you misunderstood. The person who harmed you is Tyler Collins, not me!”

Tyler spoke up too. “Bullshit! Last night in Bangkok, you admitted that you were the one who drugged Jordan and you’re the one who brought this woman and this bottle of medicine here. I don’t know her at all!”

Covering his face with one hand, Cayden pointed at Tyler with the other in exasperation. “Tyler Collins! How dare you betray me!? Are you crazy? We’re like brothers. We’re relatives! How dare you speak for him and not stand on my side? Have you forgotten what he did to you in the first place? He’s the

reason you’ve lost your manhood!”

Tyler wrapped his arms around his chest and humphed coldly. “Stop trying to make it look like we’re close. When did you ever treat me as a brother? When my family went bankrupt, none of the Huxleys were willing to help! If you hadn’t fallen in love with Hailey and wanted to shag her, would you have

been willing to cooperate with me? You’re the reason I’m in this plight today!”

“You…” Cayden was furious.

At this point, Cayden knew that the evidence against him was all in place. Besides, Jordan had long set him up for the trap and any further explanation from him would be pointless!

Cayden cowered in the corner and trembled while looking at Jordan’s murderous eyes.

“Mr… Mr. Jordan, my brother and friends all know that I’m here today. Don’t mess around or get up to anything nonsensical. If you suspect me, you can go through the legal route to sue me. If you dare to deal with me, the… the Huxleys are definitely not going to let you off!”

Cayden was afraid that Jordan would castrate him like how he had castrated Tyler!

Jordan said, “You won’t face the treatment that Tyler had because Salvatore isn’t here today.”

Salvatore had not returned since Jordan sent him to find Victoria more than ten hours ago.

“Cayden, I gave you a chance, but you didn’t cherish it. Tyler can at least still stand here in good health, but you? You will never get this chance again.”

Hearing Jordan’s words, Cayden turned pale with fear. “What are you going to do!? Are you going to kill me!? Don’t try to mess around! The Huxleys are also a famous family. If something happens to me now in the Howards’ home, the Howards can’t get away either!”

At this moment, Lauren said to Jordan, “Honey, why don’t we leave it to my grandfather to deal with him?”

Jordan certainly had a hundred ways to dispose of Cayden, such as directly killing him, or throwing him into the sea or ano man’s land.

However, Jordan wanted to know the Steeles’ attitude!

The Howards would soon find out that Jordan wasn’t blind and then continue to rely on Jordan to find the Steeles’ secrets. Since the Howards were counting on the Steeles for benefits, Jordan wanted to know what the Howards would do to their enemy!

“Okay, call your grandfather.”

“Okay.”

Lauren immediately informed Martin that the culprit who harmed Jordan had been found.

Half an hour later, several cars arrived outside the gate, each protected by special personnel.

Martin, Stefan, Marissa, and Brad, had all arrived!

“Grandpa! Dad, Mom.”

Lauren quickly stepped forward to receive them.

Martin nodded with a serious expression. “Well, where is the culprit who harmed Jordan?”

Martin appeared to be furious. Someone actually had the guts to frame his grandson-in-law and ruin his plan to uncover the Steeles’ secrets. He simply deserved to die!

Lauren pointed at Cayden who was cowering in the corner and said, “It’s him.”

The crowd was shocked, and Marissa was in greater disbelief. “It was Cayden who harmed Jordan? No way, could there be some kind of misunderstanding?”

To Marissa, Cayden was the next best candidate for a son-in-law. Since the last time she exchanged numbers with him at the birthday bash, he had been showing her kindness and trying his best to get into her good books.

Cayden hurriedly got on his knees in front of Martin. “Mr. Howard Sr., I didn’t do it. Jordan Steele is just jealous that Lauren and I are getting along well, and so he framed me!”

Marissa believed Cayden’s words and accused Jordan, “Jordan, you were the one who allowed Cayden to exchange numbers with Lauren. Yet, now that they’re getting along well, you’re jealous. As a man, can’t you be more magnanimous?”

Lauren hurriedly said, “Mom, don’t listen to Cayden’s nonsense. He’s the culprit behind this and these two people can testify against him.”

Martin looked at Tyler and the waitress who drugged Jordan.

It was at this moment that Tim walked over with a laptop and showed it to Martin. “Mr. Howard Sr., this is the surveillance footage of that night. Look, the woman who was the closest to Mr. Jordan’s glass in

the video is the woman in front of you.”

Putting on his glasses, Martin carefully compared the two women, only to see that it was indeed that woman who had drugged Jordan. In fact, Martin had long checked the information of all the waiters that night. It would be easy to find him but not that easy to find the culprit.

One must have been bribed to do that.

Martin looked at the waitress and said, “Young lady, tell me, who is the person who instructed you to drug Jordan? If you dare to lie to me, I guarantee that your family will suffer the same misery as you.”

Although the waitress didn’t know Martin’s true status and ability, she could sense that he was much more powerful than Cayden!

‘The waitress instantly got on her knees and exclaimed, “Cayden Huxley was the one who instructed me to drug this man!”

Oh shit! Cayden’s head was about to explode. Knowing that there was no point in explaining, he stopped kneeling to Martin and instead, knelt to Marissa and hugged her thigh.

“Ma’am, you have to save me. I treat you like my mother-in-law or rather, my own mother.. You must save me!”

Chapter 473

Seeing that Cayden was crying and pleading, Marissa felt rather sympathetic towards him. It was true that she liked him very much but she didn’t expect him to be the culprit who harmed Jordan.

Marissa was well aware of Martin’s temper and she wouldn’t let the matter slip so easily.

Seeing this, Stefan kicked Cayden away and rebuked furiously, “How dare you harm my son-in-law? I bet you don’t take the Howards seriously at all!”

Martin glowered at Cayden. Given his status and identity, he didn’t have to say anything to this junior at all.

Instead, he looked at Jordan and said, “Jordan, I know you must want to kill him to relieve the hatred in your heart but the matter will be very troublesome if you do it yourself. How about you leave it to me?”

Jordan nodded. He got Lauren to ask Martin to come over, precisely because he wanted to see how Martin would handle it.

If Martin was still benevolent and merciful to the person who had harmed him, like Marissa who even wanted to make Cayden her son-in-law, Jordan would ignore the rest of the Howards from this point onwards.

Apart from Lauren, he would not acknowledge any of them as his family!

Allof you, scram!

Seeing that Martin was coming over personally to handle this matter and that Cayden was kneeling to plead to him.

“Dad, Cayden harmed Jordan because of Hailey Camden. He’s just a kid, don’t punish him too severely.”

However, Martin hollered at Marissa, “Shut up! Since Jordan has married the Howards, he is one of us! I don’t care what feud there may be between Cayden Huxley and Jordan. Since Cayden has the guts to ignore the Howards and harm my grandson-in-law, it is a clear provocation to me!”

Cayden frantically interjected, “No! I definitely wouldn’t dare to! Mr. Howard Sr.! I didn’t mean to provoke the Howards at all!”

Martin said to Stefan, “Inform Mr. Craig who’s in charge of the Insight Project to send someone over with a copy of the human experiment volunteer agreement.”

“Yes!”

Hearing this, Cayden immediately trembled on the spot in fright. “Human experiment? No, no! I don’t want to participate in human experiments. I don’t want to be a lab rat! I still want to live a healthy life. Mr. Howard Sr., please send me to prison. I’m begging you. I’m willing to go to jail for 20 years. No,

Iwant to be in prison for a lifetime!”

Martin ignored him.

Jordan nodded gratefully. This old man’s approach was very much to Jordan’s liking. Cayden almost caused Jordan to lose his eyesight this time so he definitely had to get rid of this significant threat to his life. He couldn’t let him stay at all!

Hence, Jordan hoped that the bottom line of the Howards was to leave Cayden with no ability to frame him any longer.

As such, Martin’s approach was very appropriate.

Soon, two mysterious people came and forced Cayden to press his fingerprint on the agreement to sign it, after which Cayden was taken away.

“No! Martin Howard, you motherf**ker! Screw you! The Howards are all dogs! Lauren Howard, you’re just a wanton woman that anyone can sleep with, you shameless bitch! And you, Jordan Steele, I won’t let you off even if I become a ghost! I’ll cut off your limbs and castrate you! I’m going to snatch all

the women you like away from you!”

After Cayden was taken away by the two of them, he said lots of callous things. Perhaps, it was also the last words Jordan would hear from the man.

Martin said to Jordan, “I will personally inform the Huxleys. It doesn’t matter even if they’re angry. Given my understanding of Arthur Huxley, he won’t dare to go against us. Does Cayden have an elder brother? Don’t worry, I will also get someone to keep an eye on that kid so that he won’t get another

chance to harm you.”

Martin had made a thorough consideration. Likewise, Jordan was very pleased with the outcome.

“Thanks,” Jordan said. novelbin

However, at this moment, Marissa rolled her eyes and glared at Jordan.

Sensing his mother-in-law’s eye roll, Jordan felt extremely uncomfortable. He asked, “What are you glaring at me for?”

Marissa was furious and she didn’t think about why Jordan could see her.

Instead, she snapped back at him immediately, “Because I want to! You’re a good-for-nothing who only knows to create trouble for us and cause us to become enemies with the Huxleys! Although the Huxleys won’t dare to deal with us, they’re worth billions after all. If they choose to deal with us

privately, it’d be impossible for us to guard against them since there are so many of us.

“aren’t you very capable yourself? Don’t you have a lot of subordinates? Deal with your enemies on your own. What are you calling us here for!?!”

Marissa felt that Jordan was just a son-in-law whom she was about to get rid of soon and thus, it wasn’t worth offending such a powerful family for his sake.

However, as she said that, Marissa’s expression suddenly changed.

“Wait a minute. Jordan… You… How do you know that I’m glaring at you?”

Marissa’s words made Martin, Stefan, and the rest greatly astonished as they realized the problem!

Jordan smiled and looked at Marissa. “I not only know that you are glaring at me. I also know that you’re wearing bright-colored clothes today with a pair of tight-fitting pants. Hmph, you’re already in your forties and you’re still dressed like a 20-year-old. Do you think you have a superb figure?”

Jordan actually mocked his mother-in-law in front of his father-in-law and grandfather-in-law. Yet, none of them got angry at all.

On the contrary, Martin and Stefan were overjoyed and ecstatic!

Pushing Marissa away, Martin moved toward Jordan excitedly. “Jordan, are your eyes okay? Can you see now?”

Brad pursed his lips and scoffed, “I think he was never blind at all. Who can do a slam dunk when he’s blind!? I already knew it was fake!”

Two days before the birthday bash, Jordan performed a dunk while he was blind, which gave Brad a great shock. If it was true, Brad would really worship Jordan as a hero!

Jordan also said truthfully, “I did lose my eyesight in Houston but I took some medicine on the way here and recovered. To be able to find the culprit, I continued to pretend to be blind.”

Marissa was exasperated. “Great, Jordan Steele, not only did you cheat others, you even deceived your wife and in-laws! Do you still treat me as your mother-in-law!?!”

Jordan replied very directly, “No.”

Marissa froze, feeling extremely embarrassed. He never thought that Jordan would be so honest!

Seeing that the two of them were arguing again, Lauren hugged Marissa smilingly and comforted her, “Mom, Jordan didn’t deceive me. He told me about it immediately.”

After hearing this, Marissa got even angrier. She even twisted Lauren’s ear and said, “Great, so much for you being my daughter. You actually colluded with Jordan to deceive me. You caused me to embarrass myself while trying to choose another husband for you.”

Although he knew that Marissa wasn’t applying any strength, Stefan reached out and smacked Marissa’s hand away. “Enough, stop this nonsense. How can you still be in the mood to bother about these insignificant things at this time!?!”

Martin nodded with satisfaction. Stefan still understood him best.

Stefan looked at Jordan and asked, “Jordan, since your eyes are fine, does that mean that you can go to England?”

Chapter 474

Stefan and Martin were most concerned about Jordan going to England as soon as possible to inherit the Steele family business and learn the family secret!

Jordan nodded. “Yes, I’m preparing to go to England with Lauren tomorrow to see Grandpa.”

As he spoke, Jordan held Lauren’s hand tightly. Lauren looked blissful at the mention of going to England.

When Marissa heard that, she grumbled. “Young man, you’re leaving tomorrow? Why didn’t you tell us in advance? How will I have enough time? I have to pack my luggage, my clothes and everything else. Stefan, let’s

go home now. There’s no time. If I don’t go back now, I’ll have to spend the entire night packing!”

Marissa was even more excited than the rest of the Howard family when she heard that they were going to England.

Stefan also seemed to be looking forward to going to England. He quickly said, “Oh, okay, okay!”

However, Jordan cut in. “Sorry, I’m only going to bring Lauren and Chloe along. I don’t intend to bring you there. Therefore, you don’t have to be so flustered!”

With Marissa’s efficiency rate, she would be scrambling all night if she had to leave the country tomorrow.

Marissa was taken aback. “What? Only Lauren?”

Martin was also a little stunned. “Well… Jordan, I haven’t been overseas for a long time. I was just thinking of taking this opportunity to travel and relax. I want to meet your grandfather and have a drink with him.”

But Jordan remained resolute. “Grandpa, you haven’t been feeling well lately. It’s not good for you to go on a long trip. You should rest for a while first. I’ll arrange a meeting at a later date.”

It was nothing new that Martin wanted to know the Steeles’ secret. Jordan did not want him to be too close to the Steele family.

Marissa chided. “Jordan! I’m your mother-in-law! You married my daughter, and as Lauren’s mother, it’s only right for me to meet your parents! What right do you have to not let me come along?! My daughter is now

also part of the Steele family. I haven’t even met your grandfather and parents. As her mother, how can I be at ease? How will I know if they are good or bad people?!”

Marissa was also curious about the Steeles. Therefore, she wanted to go to England to meet Jordan’s parents. Most importantly, she wanted to see if Jordan’s family was as powerful as the rumors claimed.

“I believe Lauren knows how to judge people better than you. Moreover, Lauren married me, not my parents. My parents’ character has nothing to do with our marriage,” returned Jordan.

“You… do you even treat me as your mother-in-law?!” Marissa was furious.

Jordan retorted immediately, “Do you treat me as your son-in-law?! If I were really blind now, I’m afraid your son-in-law would be Cayden!”

He was still angry at Marissa for trying to get a new husband for Lauren.

Martin could tell that Marissa’s rotten idea had truly angered Jordan. That was why Jordan refused to let the Howard family go to England.

“Tsk, what’s so great about England?”

Brad snorted and left first. Immediately after, Marissa, Stefan and Marissa left as well.

Walking out of the courtyard and standing in front of their car, Marissa was still indignant. “I knew that having a son-in-law like Jordan wouldn’t bring any good to our family! What an ingrate. He’s not even letting me

meet his parents in England. How can there be such an insensible child? In my opinion, he’s not as good as Cayden!”

Martin placed his hands behind his back, feeling both happy and worried. He was happy that Jordan did not lose his sight. But he was worried that the Howard family had offended him and made him upset.

Martin reprimanded Marissa, “Enough! If it weren’t for your insistence on choosing a new husband for Lauren at my birthday banquet, would Jordan be doing this? How many times have I told you? Jordan is very

important to the Howard family. Don’t be so insensible just because of Brad’s matter. It’s just a small matter! Are you happy now? None of us are allowed to go to England with Jordan now!”

Stefan’s head was lowered ever since he walked out of the house. It was as if something was on his mind.

After Martin got into the car, Stefan suddenly said, “Dad, I want to go back and beg Jordan to see if I can go to England with him and Lauren.”

Martin was a little surprised. He didn’t expect his son to be so stubborn about going to England. Could it be because…

Marissa said, “Why do you need to beg him?! You’re his father-in-law! If he doesn’t want you to go, so be it. Who cares!”

Martin waved his hand. “Go on, discuss it with him.”

“Yes, Dad.”

With that, Stefan happily jogged back to Lauren’s house.

Jordan was surprised to see him return. “Dad, why are you back?”

Stefan said with a smile, “Jordan, I came specially to apologize to you. It was Marissa who insisted on inviting those young masters and making them perform during your grandfather’s birthday banquet. I was firmly

against it, but you know that Marissa doesn’t listen to me at all.”

Actually, Stefan and Marissa were already divorced. They had no control over each other, but Marissa was still considered a member of the Howard family. In fact, her status and assets were higher than Stefan’s new

wife.

Stefan said, “Do you think you can let me go to England with you both? Please, let me meet your grandfather and parents. After all, you’re married to my daughter. Let me meet your parents and get to know each other.

I can also help you take care of Chloe.”

Lauren rarely saw her father behaving in such a humble manner. As his daughter, she could not bear to see him like this. She held Jordan’s arm and said, “Hubby, let Daddy come with us.”

Jordan knew that Stefan was so insistent, probably because Martin had instructed him to go to England and investigate the Steele family secret. However, since even Jordan himself did not know the Steele family

secret, he did not have to worry about Stefan finding out anything.

Moreover, although Stefan remained very cold and aloof to him even after he married his daughter, at least he was not as sarcastic as Marissa. He was already considered not bad.

“Alright, come with us then,” Jordan agreed.

Stefan was overjoyed. “Alright! I’ll go back and pack my luggage now. By the way, did you book a flight? Have it refunded. We’ll take our family’s private jet tomorrow.”

“Yes, Daddy. See you tomorrow.”

Lauren waved at her father and he left happily.

Seeing how happy Stefan was, Jordan asked, “Honey, does your father have any acquaintances in England?”

“Acquaintances? Why do you ask?” Lauren was puzzled.

Jordan said, “Seeing how happy your father is, I feel like there must be some old flame waiting for him in England.”

Lauren gave Jordan a light punch. “Don’t talk about my father like that.”

It was getting late, and Jordan and Lauren still had to pack their luggage for the trip.

It was 2 am when the two of them finally finished packing their bags. Chloe naturally tagged along. She was still reluctant to sleep even though her eyelids were drooping.

After finally getting Chloe to return to her room to sleep, Lauren suddenly asked, “Hubby, why haven’t I seen Salvatore over the past two days? Will he be going to England with us?”.

Chapter 475

Jordan had sent Salvatore to find Victoria and had followed her out of the capital. However, after leaving the capital, Salvatore stopped contacting him. Jordan was worried that something had happened to him.

Victoria wouldn’t have returned alone. Jamie might have returned as well.

As a descendant of the Steeles, Jamie was an expert at avoiding detection. If Jamie realized that Salvatore was following her, he would most likely kill him!

Jordan did not want Lauren to know about Victoria for the time being, so he said, “Salvatore has something on and he is not in the capital now. He’ll come to England to look for us later.”

“Okay.”

Looking at the packed luggage, Lauren was filled with excitement and happiness. She couldn’t help taking out her phone and posting on her social media.

Honeymoon Begins. #Happy.

Lauren rarely posted on social media. The moment she did, her friends immediately flooded her post with “likes”.

Jordan was surprised. “Honey, shouldn’t your friends be sleeping? It’s already two in the morning, yet you still managed to get so many likes.”

Lauren smiled in embarrassment. She was the top goddess in the country. Anyone lucky enough to be her friend on social media would pay special attention to her account.

Lauren showed Jordan her phone. “Hubby, don’t be jealous. Most of the people who liked my post are women. The few men are all…”

Jordan did not let her finish explaining. “Alright, I believe you. You don’t have to explain yourself to me.” novelbin

He had married such a beautiful goddess after all. It was impossible to expect her not to have any men following her social media account. Coupled with the Howard family’s high status, even if those men weren’t

attracted by Lauren’s beauty, they would still hanker after her.

Just then, Lauren’s phone rang.

Jordan and Lauren were surprised. Who was calling at two in the morning?

Lauren glanced at her phone and realized that it was Fanny.

Fanny was Lauren’s university schoolmate and roommate. They were quite close during their university days. Fanny was also from the capital and went to England to get married. It was said that she married well.

Fanny had just commented on Lauren’s post, asking where she was going for her honeymoon.

Lauren had just replied that she was going to England when Fanny unexpectedly called.

“Hello.” Lauren picked up the call.

“You’re coming to England for your honeymoon!” Fanny asked excitedly.

“Yes, you’re in London, right? Maybe we can have coffee or something.”

Lauren knew that Fanny had gone to England after getting married and was living in London. They had not seen each other for a couple of years. It would be a good chance to catch up.

Fanny said, “Oh my god, just a coffee? Are you kidding me? You are coming to England. This is my territory. I will definitely bring you around and take good care of you!”

The response made Lauren smile. “There’s no need. My husband’s grandfather is also in England. There’s no need to trouble you.”

Fanny said, “Oh, the mysterious young master from the Steele family, right? I heard from Zara and the others. Oh yes, Zara and Beatrice happen to have some free time too and they have been wanting to come to

England to visit. Since you’re here for your honeymoon, I’ll get them to book a flight and come with you. The four of us can have a gathering.”

Lauren, Fanny, Zara and Beatrice were all roommates at their prestigious university. They got along very well and were all very beautiful. Going by looks alone, Zara and Beatrice could be considered Grade A. Fanny was

Grade A+, while Lauren was Grade A+++.

As such, they were all considered great beauties.

“Huh? Zara and Beatrice?” asked Lauren.

Fanny continued. “Yes, they’ve been going on and on about coming to England to visit me. They can travel with you guys tomorrow. What time is your flight?”

Lauren replied, “We’ll be taking a private jet.”

Fanny wasn’t surprised. She knew about Lauren’s family situation. “That’s good. I’ll get them to pack their luggage immediately. See you tomorrow, old girl!”

“Erm…”

Lauren wanted to say something, but Fanny had already hung up. She couldn’t wait to inform their other two friends.

Lauren sighed. But on second thought, it would be quite nice to have a couple of close friends accompanying her. It would be a great opportunity to meet up.

“Hubby, I have a university schoolmate called Fanny. She went to England after getting married and is living in London now. There are two others called Zara and Beatrice. They might be coming to England with us

tomorrow, okay?”

Since the private plane belonged to the Howard family. How could Jordan say no?

Jordan said, “Of course. It will be a university reunion for you. I can treat them to dinner, drinks and sightseeing when we get there. However, | have to arrange for them to stay at a hotel. I can’t let them follow us to my

family’s residence. As you know, the Steeles are a very private family. We can’t let outsiders know where we live.”

Lauren nodded with a smile. “Yes, of course!”

The next morning, Jordan, Lauren, Stefan and Chloe arrived at the airport. Chloe was very excited and peppered them with questions.

“Daddy, how should I address your grandfather?”

“How old is your youngest sister? Can she play with me?”

“Is there a Disneyland in England?”

Jordan carried Chloe onto the plane and patiently answered all of her questions. As soon as they boarded the plane, they heard two bright female voices.

“Lauren!”

It was Lauren’s university schoolmates, Zara and Beatrice. Zara was very cute. She was petite and only about 1.5 m in height, but she was pretty. Beatrice had a good figure, but she didn’t seem to have maintained her

face. She looked at least five years older than Lauren. They didn’t look like they were from the same cohort in university.

“Zara, Beatrice,” Lauren greeted her schoolmates happily.

“Hello. How are you?” Jordan greeted them with a smile.

Zara returned his smile. “Hello, Jordan. We meet again. You guys are going to England for your honeymoon and it looks like we’ll be there as third wheels. You don’t mind, right?”

Before Jordan could answer, Chloe interrupted, “It’s alright. I’m a third wheel too!”

“Hahaha…”

Chloe’s cute answer made everyone laugh.

Jordan pinched Chloe’s little face and said, “Little third wheel, I’ll throw you to your great-grandfather when we get to England. I won’t let you bother me and your mother.”

Beatrice said, “Don’t worry, Jordan. We won’t be third wheels for long. Fanny said that she’ll personally pick us up and bring us to the bar for a drink. After that little get-together, you can bring Lauren away to

have

some private time!”

“You are going to a bar?”

Jordan thought that it would be inappropriate for Chloe to go to a bar.

Stefan did not want to go to a bar either. He said, “Jordan, why don’t we let Lauren hang out with her schoolmates first when we arrive in England? In the meantime, you can bring me and Chloe to see your

grandfather.”.

Chapter 476

Looking at Stefan’s expression, he seemed uncharacteristically eager to go to Jordan’s house and meet his family.

Jordan nodded. “Alright, I’ll bring you and Chloe to my family’s place when we get there. I’ll pick Lauren up later.”

Soon, the plane took off and rose to a high altitude. The Howard family’s private jet was very luxurious. In order not to disturb the Howard family, Zara and Beatrice went

to another part of the plane. They did not sit with Jordan and the rest.

After settling themselves with a coffee, Zara and Beatrice started to chat.

Zara said, “Beatrice, why do you think Fanny insisted on getting us to England for a gathering? I have a job. Many things are going on at the company now and I had to

postpone several things at the last minute.”

Beatrice replied, “Hasn’t she always been pestering us to go over and see how well she is living now? Fanny is a vain person. She married into a rich family in England and

she loves to show off.”

“But I think that this time, she asked us to go to England together, mainly to see if Lauren’s husband is rich, right?”

Zara nodded. “Yes, yes, | agree! Fanny always said that Lauren’s husband is a liar. She also said that she and her husband have investigated. There is no famous Steele

family in England at all.”

“Fanny was planning to fly back on the 1st of April to attend Lauren and Chris’ wedding, but she didn’t come when she heard that Jordan was the groom.”

ropping her chin on her hand, Beatrice looked at the clouds outside the window. “I also don’t believe that Jordan is rich. He has been living in the Howard family

residence since he got married. Lauren bought everything herself. As her husband, he has brought nothing to the table.”

Zara took a sip of coffee. “Everything will be made clear when we get to England. On their wedding day, didn’t Jordan’s big brother say that he would give Lauren all their

bar properties in England?”

“When we arrive at the bar, we’ll know if Lauren is really the queen of the English bar scene!”

Beatrice smiled. “No wonder Fanny wanted to bring us to a bar for our welcome party. It looks like she wants to find out more about Jordan. Hehe, there’s going to be a

good show later.”

The two of them chatted for a while before putting on their eye masks and falling asleep.

tt took 10 hours for their flight to reach London. When they reached their destination, it was already six in the evening. novelbin

“Oh, I’m going to Daddy’s house!”

Chloe jumped around happily.

“Walk slowly.”

Jordan held Chloe’s hand and carefully led her down the stairs. The others also slowly descended the stairs with their luggage.

The moment they alighted, they immediately saw more than 10 Rolls-Royces waiting for them! They were all limited edition white Rolls-Royces, each worth more than a

million dollars!

Zara and Beatrice were completely stunned by the sight.

“Oh my god, so many white Rolls-Royces? Don’t tell me all the white Rolls-Royces in the world have gathered here?”

“How magnificent. The Steeles are indeed generous!”

Stefan said to Jordan happily, “Jordan, your grandfather is too kind. He sent so many luxury cars to pick us up!”

However, Jordan was frowning a little. His grandfather was a low-profile person and it was impossible for him to have arranged something so flashy. There were so many

Rolls-Royces, and they were all white.

Lauren smiled happily as well. She felt that she was being valued. She even complained to Jordan, “You lied to me yesterday when you said that your grandfather would

give us a modest welcome.”

At this moment, a tall woman alighted from one of the white cars. The woman looked very imposing. She was wearing sunglasses, a short skirt and pink high heels.

“Hey, isn’t that Fanny?”

As the woman came into view, Zara and the rest immediately recognized her. She was their university schoolmate, Fanny!

“Damn, so the Steeles didn’t arrange these Rolls-Royces. It was Fanny.”

Only then did everyone know that Jordan had nothing to do with this magnificent scene.

“Hi girls.”

Fanny walked over in her high heels. She took off her sunglasses and waved at them.

She hugged Lauren first and praised her. “My dear, you’ve lost weight again. How have you managed to maintain such a good figure?”

Lauren smiled. “You clearly have a better figure than me. After I got married, my husband kept feeding me and I gained several pounds.”

Fanny laughed and then hugged Zara and Beatrice.

“Fanny, did you hire these Rolls-Royces?” asked Zara.

Fanny said proudly, “Yes, I asked my husband to arrange for them. I said I was coming to pick you up.”

Thereafter, Fanny smiled and waved at Stefan and Chloe. “Hello, Uncle. Little Chloe, do you remember this pretty auntie?”

Surveying the group of people who had alighted, Fanny asked in surprise, “Lauren, why are there so few of you? Where are your mother and grandfather? What about Brad

and Alex?”

Lauren shook her head. “No, they didn’t come. Sorry, I should have told you earlier. It must have been very expensive for you to have hired so many cars.”

Fanny smiled. “What are you talking about? You make it sound like these are just rentals. My husband owns all these cars! It’s alright. I’ll instruct them to leave just two

cars. They can drive the rest back.”

Lauren smiled. She felt that Fanny was being very kind. She quickly pulled Jordan’s arm and introduced him to Fanny, “Fanny, this is my husband, Jordan.”

Since Fanny did not attend Lauren’s wedding, she had yet to meet Jordan.

Jordan took the initiative to greet Fanny. “Hello.”

Fanny replied in a flirtatious tone, “Hi, dear husband.”

Jordan was speechless, and he felt rather awkward. “What did you call me?”

Fanny smiled and explained, “Lauren is my dear, and you’re her husband. Of course I should call you my dear husband, right?”

“Uh…”

Jordan was speechless. This woman was quite interesting.

Fanny continued, “By the way, Lauren, I’ve made a reservation at the Churchill Bar. Let uncle and your husband come with us.”

Stefan spoke up. “No need. You girls have fun. Jordan and | are going to his place first to meet his parents.”

Actually, Lauren wanted to go to Jordan’s place with him as well. She had asked to have the girls’ get- together the next day, but Fanny insisted on tonight.

Fanny did not persist. “Oh, alright. Jordan, where do you live? Take one of my Rolls-Royce. I’ll get the driver to take you to your place.”

Jordan replied, “Thank you, but there’s no need. My grandfather knows that I’m here. He’ll probably pick us up soon.”

“Is that so?”

Fanny was in no hurry to leave. She also wanted to see how the so-called Steele family would pick up Jordan and Stefan.

Chapter 477

`

It was a Bentley. Although it was also a luxury car, it was old and not very clean. This was especially the case when compared to Fanny’s white Rolls-Royces, where each of them was as shiny as the brand new ones on

the showroom display.

After the Bentley stopped, an old man alighted.

It was Butler Frank.

“Butler Frank!”

Jordan and Lauren immediately went over when they saw Butler Frank. Stefan also walked over with Chloe.

“Mr. Jordan, welcome home!”

Butler Frank smiled happily as wrinkles appeared on his old face.

Lauren had heard a lot about Butler Frank. Although he was only a butler and Lauren was Jordan’s wife, she did not put on any airs like Hailey did and greeted Butler Frank very respectfully.

“Hello Butler Frank. I’m Jordan’s wife, Lauren.”

Butler Frank hurriedly bowed. “Hello, Mrs. Jordan. Welcome!”

Lauren was thrilled to hear Butler Frank call her Mrs. Jordan and his warm welcome. She had finally come to her husband’s place and could meet his family!

Stefan quickly shook Butler Frank’s hand. “Hello, Mr. Frank. I’m Stefan Howard, Jordan’s father-in-law.”

Butler Frank quickly returned his greeting. “Hello, Mr. Howard.”

Chloe also called out happily, “Hello, Uncle Frank!”

“Hello, little miss Chloe. Mr. Steele Senior will be very happy to see you. Everyone, please get in the car,” Butler Frank said.

While the Howard family was chatting with Butler Frank, Fanny and the other two were chatting in the distance.

Fanny said disdainfully, “Did Lauren’s husband’s family send that car? Why did they send such a car? Isn’t it too shabby?”

Zara smiled. “It’s not bad. It’s a Bentley after all.”

Fanny smiled. “Oh my god, that’s an old Bentley, okay? Do you know how cheap a second-hand Bentley is in England? I suspect that Lauren married a fraud!”

Beatrice quickly reminded her, “Fanny, lower your voice. Don’t say such things in front of Lauren. She likes Jordan a lot.”

“Hmph.” Fanny snorted.

Jordan got Stefan and Chloe into the car first before walking back with Lauren. He planned to bid farewell to her three schoolmates before leaving.

Seeing that Jordan had returned, Fanny plastered on a fake smile. “Yo, Young Master Jordan, so you’re from a rich family. A Bentley was sent to pick you all up. That car is very rare in London.”

Jordan could tell that Fanny was mocking him.

Fanny had brought over a dozen Rolls-Royce cars worth over a million dollars each. Meanwhile, Jordan only had one old Bentley. How could he compare to her?

Jordan explained, “That car is indeed a little old. However, Butler Frank is old himself so he prefers old cars. He cherishes old things so he hasn’t changed his ride.”

Fanny immediately pretended to be surprised. “Ah, the Steeles are indeed amazing. You even have a butler. If the butler is already driving such a good car, won’t your parents’ cars be even better? Oh, right. Young novelbin

Master Jordan, where do you live? My husband and I live in South Kensington. We might even be neighbors!”

Of course, Jordan would never tell anyone the location of his grandfather’s residence.

Jordan smiled. “My family doesn’t live in South Kensington.”

“Heh.” Fanny sneered. She finally made Jordan admit that he was not a rich second-generation heir!

Jordan could not be bothered to explain. He asked, “Are you guys drinking at the Churchill Bar at One Whitehall Place? Lauren, I’ll leave with your father first. I’ll pick you up later.”

“Yes, the Churchill Bar at One Whitehall Place,” Fanny confirmed. “I heard that Lauren is the Queen of English bars? Does that mean I don’t have to treat you today?”

Although Fanny appeared friendly to Jordan on the surface and did not say anything too overboard, her words were full of hidden jibes. Moreover, everything she said seemed to be a test, trying to expose Jordan.

Jordan said, “Yes, all the bars in England belong to Lauren. Order whatever you want at the Churchill Bar tonight. You don’t have to pay.”

Fanny and the other two were overjoyed. “Is that true? We will take it that you are serious!”

Lauren was also very happy and excited! Ever since she got married, she had another title: The Queen of English Bars! Her friends called her that in private. Over time, Lauren had gotten used to this title. Moreover, it

was given to her by Jordan, the man she loved the most. She liked it very much!

Tugging at the corner of Jordan’s shirt in embarrassment, she asked softly, “Is that true? Would the people at the bar really recognize me?”

Jordan said with a smile, “Honey, do you think I’m lying to you? Don’t worry, all the bars belong to the same company. The boss of that company is you and me. All the bar owners know your name. When the time

comes, all you have to do is show him your identification. I promise, he’ll serve you like a queen.”

Asmile appeared on Lauren’s face.

Fanny felt very annoyed, but she smiled and said, “Let’s hurry to Lauren’s bar then. I can’t wait to leech off of her.”

Zara smiled as well. “Me too. I want the most expensive bottle of wine!”

Beatrice said, “How can one bottle be enough? At least three, haha.”

Lauren was also very generous. “Girls, order whatever you want. It’s my treat!”

Jordan felt content as he watched Lauren and her schoolmates chattering happily.

“Honey, bring your friends to enjoy yourselves. You’re the queen of bars here, so all the bars are your property!”

Jordan did not buy a house for Lauren or give her a car. He hated giving things that most women hankered after. However, what Jordan had given Lauren was more than just a house or car!

The four beautiful women rode the white Rolls-Royce to the Churchill Bar at One Whitehall Place. Entering the bar, they realized that there were not many people inside.

The four of them sat at the bar. These four beauties instantly attracted the attention of many men.

Zara rapped on the countertop and said to the waiter, “Give us a bottle of your most expensive wine!”

Beatrice smiled. “We want four bottles!”

The waiter was cleaning a wine glass as he reminded them. “Ladies, our most expensive wine here costs several thousand pounds.”

Zara smiled. “What’s a few thousand pounds? We don’t have to pay anyway. Your lady boss is here. Don’t you recognize her?”

“Lady boss?” The waiter was confused.

Lauren introduced herself nervously to the waiter. “Um… hello, I’m Lauren Howard from Greene King Bar Group.”

But the waiter just replied, “So? What makes you think that you don’t need to pay for your drinks?”.

Chapter 478

Lauren panicked when she heard the waiter’s words. She didn’t expect the waiter to be so indifferent to her identity.

So she quickly tried to explain. “It’s not that we don’t want to pay for our drinks. What I mean is, doesn’t this Churchill Bar belong to the Greene King Bar Group? I’m the biggest shareholder of the Greene King Bar

Group. As the boss, I have the right to have a few bottles of wine from the bar, right?”

Lauren spoke in a very soft and gentle voice.

Seeing this, Fanny commented. “Lauren, you’re the boss. Why are you being so humble to a waiter?”

She then shouted at the waiter, “Hey! This is your boss! This bar belongs to her! We can order whatever we want!”

The waiter laughed out loud. “Are the four of you trying to run a scam? You wish to drink for free? If you want to drink for free, please look for one of the customers in the bar. Some of them might be willing to treat

you to drinks, but you girls will have to spend the night with them.

“However, don’t even think about having a fine wine worth thousands of pounds. Women like you are cheap. A night with you is probably only worth a few dozen pounds.”

The waiter’s sarcastic insults incensed Fanny and the group!

Fanny and Zara slammed the table in anger. “What did you say?! Who do you think you are talking to? Apologize to us immediately!”

The waiter continued to wipe the glass as he pointed at Lauren with a smile. “This lady was the one who lied first. The Churchill Bar has nothing to do with the Greene King Bar Group.

“The owner of our bar is Michael McDonald.”

Lauren clenched her fists. She was very upset. If it weren’t for her, she and her friends wouldn’t have been humiliated like this. However, Lauren was puzzled by the waiter’s words. Didn’t this bar belong to the company

under her control?

Jordan clearly said that all the bars in England were under the Greene King Bar Group.

Fanny suddenly said, “Michael McDonald? Isn’t he the president of Enco Corporation?”

The waiter confirmed. “That’s right. Do you know him? He’s the most outstanding young tycoon in England! He’s not even 30 yet, but he’s already worth billions of pounds!”

Zara suddenly said, “Why does this name sound a little familiar?”

Fanny said, “Michael McDonald is my husband!”

Realization dawned upon Beatrice. “Oh, right. Your husband’s name is McDonald! So this bar belongs to your husband!”

Lauren was stunned as well. She had been touted as the Queen of English bars and promised to bring her schoolmates here for a drink. But now, it turned out that Fanny was the bar owner instead.

Taking out her cell phone, Fanny immediately made a call.

“Hey, honey, let me ask you. Did you buy the Churchill Bar? What? You really bought it? Why didn’t you tell me? I’m at the Churchill Bar now, and the waiter here insulted me and my friends. I want you to fire

him

immediately!”

After hanging up, Fanny smiled at the three girls. “Oh my god, this bar really belongs to my family. Sigh, it’s all my husband’s fault for being too rich. He likes to buy bars and wineries for no reason. | didn’t even know.”

Lauren and the other two looked at Fanny’s expression. Was she putting on an act on purpose?

What a coincidence. She was the one who chose the bar for tonight and it just happened to have been bought by her husband? And she was claiming that she didn’t know?

Beatrice spoke up. “Fanny, are you deliberately trying to embarrass your old schoolmate?”

Beatrice could tell at a glance that Fanny was putting on an act. She was trying to humiliate Lauren and expose her husband.

Beatrice and Zara had no qualms seeing Jordan exposed for fraud. However, they did not wish to see Lauren humiliated like this.

Apart from their sisterly friendship, Beatrice and Zara lived in the same state as the powerful Howard family. It would be unwise for them to mock Lauren. Therefore, Beatrice decided to speak up for Lauren.

Fanny hurriedly defended herself. “How can you say that? I am not! Lauren, don’t misunderstand. I really didn’t know that this bar belonged to my family. Really!”

Lauren smiled awkwardly. “Alright, there’s no need to explain. I believe you.”

Lauren knew that Fanny had been very jealous of her since their university days. Even back then, Fanny was jealous that Lauren was prettier and had a better family background.

At this moment, the waiter suddenly received a call. He immediately apologized to Fanny.

“I’m sorry, Mrs. McDonald. I apologize for what I said earlier! 1 hope you can be magnanimous and forgive me this time. Don’t fire me!”

Fanny snorted. “You insulted my dearest friends and you still wish to work in my place? What are you thinking! Get lost now!”

Fanny was merciless.

The waiter bowed respectfully and apologized to the four of them. “I am very sorry. Ladies, I’ve disrupted your night out. I’ll take my leave now.”

With that, the waiter left.

Zara praised happily, “Fanny, you’re so domineering! Whoever insulted us should be gotten rid of!”

Beatrice added. “It’s a good thing that you turned out to be the boss. Otherwise, we would have been helpless against the waiter’s insults.”

Lauren also thanked Fanny. “Thank you, Fanny.”

She had to struggle to say those words.

She should have been the boss here. If anything happened, she should have been the one solving the problem for her friends. But now, Fanny had snatched away all her glory.

Fanny was very happy and gestured to another waitress. “Open four bottles of the most expensive red wine here immediately!”

“Yes, Boss.”

The waitress was very obedient and prepared red wine glasses for the four of them.

However, Lauren rejected it. “Sorry, I won’t be drinking. Give me something non-alcoholic.”

“Huh? Why aren’t you drinking?” asked Fanny.

Lauren explained. “I still have to meet Jordan’s family later. It’s really rude to smell of alcohol on our first meeting.”

Fanny said helplessly, “Lauren, why do you still take that liar husband of yours seriously? You still want to see his parents? He’s a liar. What’s the point of meeting his parents?”

Zara added, “That’s right, Lauren. Didn’t your husband say that the Churchill Bar belongs to the Steeles? He also said that all the bars in England belong to their family. On your wedding day, he generously gave them all

to you. But now, we realized that it’s not true!”

Beatrice also piped in. “I also don’t think Jordan is rich. An old Bentley was sent to pick him up. I wonder if it’s secondhand or rented. It can’t compare to your new car.”

Lauren felt very uncomfortable being doubted and mocked by her good friends!

Was Jordan… really a liar?.

Chapter 479

Fanny sat at the bar with her legs crossed and took out a pack of cigarettes. Knowing that Lauren and the other two didn’t smoke, she just lit a cigarette for herself.

She was beautiful and looked even more charming when she smoked. She also had the aura of a boss.

Fanny blew out a smoke ring. “Lauren, don’t blame us for saying this. Have you been blinded by love? Logically speaking, how could a sensible and worldly girl like you

believe Jordan’s nonsense?

“All the bars in England belong to his family? Pfft! Luckily, I didn’t attend your wedding. If I did, I would have slapped him when he said that! My husband is from a

distinguished family in England. He has close ties with all the top families, the royal family and even political figures. Even we don’t dare to claim that we have the ability to

buy all the bars in England.”

Lauren was not a soft, weak woman. She was very angry that someone was talking like that about the man she loved!

Lauren retorted, “Fanny, you don’t know my husband, so please don’t spout nonsense. My husband has no reason to lie to me, because I’m not a woman who is greedy for

power and money. Even if he doesn’t have money, I would still like him!”

Fanny raised her glass and said, “My dear, you don’t understand. You don’t value family background and status, but your parents do. He might not have lied because of you,

but he lied to deceive your parents.”

Zara and Beatrice were on Fanny’s side for this. They supported her crusade against Jordan.

“That’s right, Lauren. Aunty never liked Jordan, right? Maybe he’s just trying to deceive your parents.”

“In my opinion, Jordan is definitely a poor man! He didn’t even buy a house when he married Lauren. How can a man who can’t even buy a house be called a man?”

“Also, Lauren’s red jeep was destroyed by one of Jordan’s subordinates.”

“He didn’t buy a house after getting married and even destroyed your car. He should have compensated you, but Lauren, you ended up paying for a new Bentley Continental

yourself.”

Zara and Beatrice knew more about Jordan and Lauren, so once they started talking, they couldn’t stop.

On the side, Fanny took a sip of wine. She was shocked. “Oh my god, did that happen? Living in his wife’s house, destroying her car, not compensating a single cent, and

getting his wife to buy another car? Isn’t Jordan too shameless?”

Lauren got very anxious. “It’s not what you think… hey, sorry, I’m not drinking.”

Lauren had planned to explain to Fanny that Jordan did not pay for a car and house because his bank account had been frozen. Therefore, he could not take out a single

cent.

But before she could explain, the waitress was pouring wine for her.

Lauren didn’t want to drink and hurriedly pulled her wine glass over. But the wine had already started to flow out of the bottle and it splattered on Lauren’s sleeve.

“Sorry, sorry!”

The waitress quickly apologized.

Lauren waved her hand. “Forget it. I’ll go to the washroom to clean up.”

Lauren got up and walked toward the washroom.

After Lauren left, Fanny and the other two spoke with even more impudence.

As Fanny smoked, she said in disdain, “Lauren’s taste in men is getting worse. Why did she choose a fraud for a husband? Do you know that I recommended a man to

Lauren? He’s my husband’s good friend, a bachelor and also has a well-regarded status in England. That English man saw Lauren’s photo and liked her very much, but

Lauren didn’t even want to meet him.

“Sigh, it’s said that pregnancy muddles one’s brains. Ever since Lauren gave birth, she has become more stupid than before. She actually believed that she was the Queen of

English Bars? Haha, what a joke. Is she worthy?”

Zara raised her glass and toasted Fanny. “Haha, she’s not the Queen of English Bars. Our sister Fanny is the real Queen of English Bars. You have to treat us well these few

days.”

Beatrice added. “That’s right, Fanny. I had wanted to count on that mysterious husband of Lauren’s, but it looks like you’re the more reliable one.”

Fanny toasted the two of them. “No problem. I guarantee that you’ll be enjoying yourselves in England! Haha, cheers, sisters!”

The three of them thought that Lauren was still in the washroom, so they chatted without restraint. However, they didn’t know that Lauren had already returned and heard

all their comments!

Lauren had just walked to the washroom door when she realized that she didn’t have enough tissues. She had returned to ask Beatrice for more. However, just as she walked

over, she overheard Fanny’s comment that Lauren was not worthy to be the Queen of the English Bars.

Lauren quickly retreated to the washroom in silence. Recalling Fanny’s callous comment, a sob escaped her lips.

The Queen of English Bars!

Ever since Jordan gave her this title, Lauren had always regarded it as an honor! It was not because Lauren was vain, but because she liked Jordan.

n addition, her other friends had always called her that. Over time, she really felt that she was the Queen of English Bars. However, she did not expect to be insulted and

mocked like this at a bar in England!

Lauren was from a powerful family, and she had never heard anyone talk about her like that!

Tears glistened in her eyes. She felt aggrieved and wanted to figure out what was going on.

She called Jordan.

“Hubby…”

“Honey, what’s the matter?”

Jordan was still in the car. They had yet to reach his grandfather’s house.

Lauren said, “I… want to ask you something.”

Jordan could immediately tell that something was wrong. “Honey, what’s wrong? Are you crying? What happened?”

Lauren did not want Jordan to worry and denied it immediately, “No, I’m not crying. I’m fine. I just wanted to ask you… Does the Churchill Bar not belong to our company?”

Jordan was confused. “Why are you asking that?”

Lauren said, “Oh, I think it’s possible that our company bought the other bars, but not this one.”

At that moment, Lauren still did not believe that Jordan had lied to her. Perhaps he just happened to miss out on this bar.

But Jordan replied, “Impossible! The Churchill Bar is one of the top ten famous bars in England. It’s impossible for us to miss this one. Moreover, my grandfather has always

been particular when monopolizing an industry. No matter how big the bar is, if he wants it, he will buy it at all costs.

“Lauren, I can tell you clearly that all the bars in England belong to you. You are the one and only Queen of the English Bars!”.

Chapter 480

Jordan was a sensitive person. He sensed that something might have happened to Lauren at the Churchill Bar.

“Lauren, did you encounter any trouble at the bar? Tell me honestly, it’s alright. I’m also a major shareholder of the bar group. I have the right to know.”

Lauren also felt that if the Steeles really owned the Churchill Bar, she would have to report the incident to Jordan.

Lauren said, “I revealed my identity to the staff here. I also said that I’m the boss of Greene King Bar Group, but they don’t know me or our company.”

Jordan was confused. “What? That happened? Wait a minute.”

Jordan put down his phone and covered the receiver with his hand. He asked Butler Frank, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, “Butler Frank, does the Churchill Bar belong to the Steeles?”

Butler Frank nodded. “Of course, Mr. Jordan.”

Jordan picked up his phone again and said to Lauren, “I’ll handle this.

Wait for me at the bar. I’ll come to find you now.”

Stefan saw that Jordan looked troubled after hanging up the phone. He immediately asked with concern, “What’s wrong, Jordan? Did something happen to Lauren at the bar?”

Jordan smiled. He knew that Stefan was concerned about his daughter. After all, she was a young lady and it might be unsafe for her to visit bars in a foreign land.

Jordan said, “It’s alright, Dad. The waiter over there doesn’t know

Lauren. I’ll go over personally. Driver, stop the car. I’ll alight here.”

Butler Frank asked, “Mr. Jordan, do you want me to help you settle this?”

Jordan said, “No need. Send my father-in-law and daughter to see novelbin

Grandpa. I’ll just look for Dragon.”

Butler Frank smiled at the mention of Dragon. “That’s right. You’re back in England. You can ask Dragon to assist you.”

Dragon was a formidable right-hand man that the Steeles had assigned to Jordan! He was just one person, but even so, he could be considered a mighty force of nature!

To help Jesse, Jamie and Jordan succeed the Steele family, Charleston had assigned three fearsome right-hand men to each of his grandchildren!

They were Dragon, Chimera and Phoenix!

Dragon was under Jordan, Chimera was under Jesse, and Phoenix was under Jamie.

Not only did the Steele family let Jesse, Jordan and Jamie undergo all sorts of training as children, but they also made Dragon, Chimera and Phoenix endure all kinds of harsh training from a young age!

To fill the roles of Dragon, Chimera and Phoenix, Charleston had started with a hundred candidates, carefully training them, weeding out the weak and promoting the best.

After more than 10 years of training and selection, he finally determined who was worthy of the roles of Dragon, Chimera and Phoenix.

While Jordan and his brothers had experienced battles before. But these three right-hand men had endured even more!

Jordan and his brothers had undergone trials in the business world. But Dragon, Chimera and Phoenix had already been immersed in commerce for years!

In reality, going by their abilities and business connections, the Steele brothers were not as outstanding as their three right-hand men! However, no matter how outstanding the three of them were, they were still the servants of Jordan and his brothers.

Jordan smiled at the thought of Dragon. This fellow was really outstanding. He was the most powerful among the three. He was even more powerful than Chimera and Phoenix!

“If Grandpa allowed me to have Dragon help me in the US, I wouldn’t have had to suffer so much frustration!”

Charleston had a rule that Jordan was not allowed to get Dragon to help him during his time in the US.

This was because Dragon was too powerful.

Basically, he could resolve every single issue that Jordan had encountered within minutes! Now that Jordan was in England, he could contact Dragon again, Jordan called Dragon.

“Dragon, how are you?”

Jordan was happy to be able to talk to this old friend. Actually, Dragon was only 32 years old.

“My lord”‘

A deep and powerful male voice came from the other end of the line. It was Dragon!

Jordan insisted. “Call me brother!”

Dragon replied, “Master!”

Jordan was exasperated. “F*ck, you still refuse to call me brother!”

Jordan had wanted Dragon to call him “Brother” for many years, but to this day he never succeeded.

Dragon asked, “Master, you’re back?”

Jordan smiled. “That’s right. I can’t contact you even if I don’t come back.”

Dragon asked, “What instructions do you have for me?”

“It’s not a big deal. Find the person in charge of the Churchill Bar and get him to meet me at the bar immediately.” Dragon replied, “Got it! Any other instructions?” Jordan said, “Not for now. Just be on standby!”

“Got it”‘

Jordan hung up and called a taxi to go to the Churchill Bar.

Arriving at the bar, Jordan immediately saw Lauren and the other three sitting at the bar drinking.

Fanny immediately put on a fake smile when she saw Jordan walking over. “Wow, the dear husband is here. Please take a seat. Handsome Jordan, you have to drink with us. We ordered the most expensive bottles here. Don’t waste them.”

From the enthusiastic way Fanny welcomed Jordan, it was as if she was the host entertaining a guest. Meanwhile, Zara and Beatrice looked at Jordan in disdain. They refused to talk to him.

After Fanny invited Jordan to sit, she took the initiative to pour him a glass of wine. She smiled as she smoked.

“President Jordan, your bar is really nice. It’s all thanks to you that we can have free drinks today. Come, let’s toast to President Jordan, okay?”

Zara and Beatrice sneered. They had no intention of raising their glasses.

Jordan was a sharp man and could tell that although Fanny seemed to be very nice to him on the surface, she was actually being a hypocrite.

She didn’t mean what she said. She liked to mock and ridicule others. Although she called him President Jordan, it was meant as a sarcastic insult.

This was because these drinks were not courtesy of Jordan at all. They were courtesy of Fanny.

However, Fanny didn’t expose him. She tried to appear magnanimous and noble in front of her friends. Lauren was speechless and felt especially aggrieved.

Jordan was no fool. There was no way he would accept the wine.

He said in a serious tone, “Ms. Fanny, you don’t have to say such things. I’ve already heard that Lauren encountered a problem here. The waiter here doesn’t know her.”

Seeing that no one was drinking with her, Fanny took a sip on her own and muttered to herself, “If you want to be recognized, you have to be capable first.”

Jordan felt that Fanny was a vicious person. Every word she said seemed to be filled with thorns. It was very likely that it was Fanny who made Lauren cry earlier!

‘Damned woman, you dare to make my wife cry!’ A wave of annoyance washed over Jordan. .
