The Abandoned Husband Dominates Chapter 491-500

Chapter 491

When Jesse went to the US to attend Jordan’s wedding, he had investigated Lauren and said that she was a bad woman who had an affair with another man.

That incident alone almost caused Jordan and Lauren to split up! After experiencing Hailey’s betrayal, Jordan was very sensitive to such things!

Jordan smiled. “Don’t worry Jesse. You did what you did for my own good.”

Jordan knew that like him, Jesse had been deceived by Jamie.

Raising his glass, Jesse clinked glasses with Jordan. He pointed at Lauren, who was singing, and commented to Jordan.

“Lauren is a good girl. She’s beautiful and her singing is lovely. On top of that, she loves you so wholeheartedly, you have to cherish her, understand?”

Jordan nodded. “I will.”

Lauren sang two songs in a row. However, she soon felt a little ill and like she was about to vomit. Jordan brought her to the washroom and carried her back to their room to rest.

In the dining hall, Charleston also took his leave. Jesse and Yumi also returned to their rooms for the night. Jordan’s aunt stood up, but before she left, Stefan took the initiative to chase after her. His face was slightly flushed and he looked as nervous as a little boy. novelbin

“Ms. Steele…”

“Mr. Howard, what’s the matter?”

“Ms. Steele, it’s been more than 20 years since we last met, but you’re still so beautiful. Can I… talk to you in private?”

Meanwhile, in Charleston’s room.

Jordan went to his grandfather’s room after Lauren fell asleep.

“Grandpa…”

As if he had expected Jordan to look for him, Charleston had not gone to bed yet.

“Grandpa, what do you think of Lauren?”

Charleston was beaming. “She’s a very good girl. However, I know that the woman you love the most isn’t her. It’s Victoria, right?”

Jordan sighed. “Yes, Grandpa. I want to complete the family’s training mission as soon as possible and figure out why our family wanted to capture Victoria’s father then. I want to see Victoria as soon as possible. I can’t live without her. I married Lauren to find out about Victoria’s whereabouts!” He admitted that he had since fallen in love with Lauren, but the person who left the deepest impression on him was still Victoria!

After all, Victoria was the one who stood by him during his most difficult days!

“Grandpa, I’ve completed my business trial now. Are there any other missions?’

Charleston said in response, “Jordan, you just came home. I’ll tell you about the mission in a few days. Spend these few days showing Lauren around, and also spend some time with your mother. I am afraid that you would leave tomorrow if I give you the mission now.”

Jordan nodded. “Alright, Grandpa, rest early. I’ll go back to my room now.”

The next morning, Lauren woke up in a daze.

Jordan had woken up long ago. He looked at Lauren with a smile and said, “Diva, you’re finally awake?”

Lauren rubbed her eyes in confusion. “Huh? Who’s the diva?”

Jordan replied, “You, of course. I didn’t know you could sing so well.”

Lauren was shocked. “Did I sing last night?”

And had clearly drunk too much and had no idea what happened last night.

A smile was on his face. “Yes, you did. You sang ‘Cold Heart’ by Dua Lipa and Elton John, as well as Adele’s ‘Easy On Me’. You sang and danced. You danced with my grandfather too, and you even did a striptease dance. I couldn’t stop you at all. Honey, I didn’t expect you to have such a passionate and unrestrained side!”

Lauren was completely stunned. She did not know if Jordan was joking or not.

Leaping to snatch the duvet, she hurriedly crawled under the covers, not daring to show her face. “Ahhhh! I’m so embarrassed that I want to commit suicide. I don’t want to live anymore. How can I face your family!”

Lauren had always been the dignified and proper daughter of an influential family. This was her first time at her husband’s house, but she actually did such a thing. She felt like dying! Jordan comforted her with a smile, “Silly, I was joking. You only sang two songs and didn’t dance. In fact, you sang very well. I even recorded it for you. Do you want to watch it?”

AS

“No, no, no!” Lauren shouted from under the covers.

Jordan shook his head. He knew that Lauren would not dare to come out and meet anyone for the time being. Only when it was time for lunch did Lauren finally emerge. She was completely lady-like and did not touch any alcohol.

During the afternoon, Jordan brought Lauren around the castle. Just as the two of them arrived outside the castle and were admiring the unique fruit groves, Jordan’s phone rang. “Hailey?”

Jordan looked at the screen and saw that it was Hailey calling. As he did not want to let Hailey ruin his good mood, he didn’t answer.

However, Hailey kept calling. Jordan had no choice but to answer the call.

“What?” Jordan asked coldly.

“Jordan, where’s your house?”

Jordan said, “Why are you asking this?”

Hailey answered. “I’ve arrived in England and I’m at Trafalgar Square now. I want to go to your house. Can you pick me up?” The words left Jordan speechless. He did not expect Hailey to follow him to England! She was not Jordan’s wife anymore. Why was she even here?!

Jordan replied very directly, “What is going through in that mind of yours? Why would I bring you to my house? Get this straight. You’re not my wife anymore! We’re divorced!”

Yes, Jordan had indeed promised Hailey that he would bring her to the castle to meet his grandfather. However, that was when Jordan still loved Hailey. Now that he had met Victoria and Lauren, the love he once harbored for Hailey had long since disappeared!

Hailey said, “I don’t care, I’m coming anyway! If you don’t come to pick me up, I’ll keep waiting for you at the square! I’m not going anywhere!” Jordan chuckled. “Up to you. Stay as long as you want!”

“I didn’t come alone! I brought our child here. Our son is right beside me. Even if you don’t care about me, you should care about your own flesh and blood, right?”

What?! Jordan was furious. “Hailey, the child is still so young. Why aren’t you staying at home to take good care of him? Why did you bring him here?!”

Hailey was insistent. “Anyway, I have already brought the child here. I want to see your grandfather. Come and pick me up quickly.”

Lauren, who was wearing a floral dress, noticed that Jordan was very angry. She asked in a soft voice, “Hubby, what’s wrong?”

Jordan covered the receiver and said to Lauren, “It’s Hailey. She brought the child to England.”

“Huh?” Lauren was surprised.

Jordan said, “Just as well. My family had plans to bring the child over here anyway. Don’t worry, I won’t let Hailey disturb us.”

After speaking with Lauren, Jordan returned to the call. “Alright, wait at the square. I’ll send someone over now.”

Hailey was overjoyed. “Jordan, I want you to send the golden carriage that you and Lauren rode. I want to take the golden carriage!”

Chapter 492

During the long flight to England, Hailey had been fantasizing about riding the golden carriage and being admired by the passers-by. Vain women like her loved to fantasize about such scenes. She felt that with her beauty, she would definitely also be a top trending topic on social media.

Let the netizens know that the number one beauty in the US was not Lauren, but Hailey!

Jordan retorted angrily, “Hailey, are you crazy?! You cheated on me three times when you were with me! You still have the cheek to demand to see my grandfather? Not only that, you dare to demand to sit in our family’s golden carriage? Are you worthy?!”

He did not expect Hailey to be this crazy. Any man and his family would treat a woman who had behaved like Hailey as their top enemy! But now, Hailey actually dared to demand to meet Jordan’s family. Wasn’t she afraid of being beaten to death by the Steeles?

“Since I’m here to see your family, I’m naturally prepared. Don’t worry about it. Come and pick me up. The longer you delay, the longer your son will have to stand here. That’s all!” Hailey retorted easily.

With that, Hailey hung up the phone.

“F*ck! This b*tch!”

Jordan was furious. He had been admiring the flowers and fruits in the garden and grove when he was disturbed by Hailey’s sudden call.

“Hubby, what did Hailey say?” Lauren asked with concern.

Jordan said angrily, “That woman wants to ride the golden carriage we took last night. I really admire her guts. She came all the way to England just to ride in our family’s golden carriage?”

Lauren also knew that Hailey was a conceited and shallow woman. “Hailey is very vain and impulsive. She doesn’t consider the consequences of her actions. She must have seen our photos yesterday and felt very envious. She must also regret divorcing you. After all, if you two weren’t divorced, she would be the one sitting in the carriage yesterday.” A sneer was on Jordan’s face. “I have to thank her for her extramarital affair. Otherwise, you and I wouldn’t have been able to be together.”

At this moment, Jesse and Yumi walked over holding hands.

“Jordan, what’s wrong? I heard you swearing from afar.” Jesse asked as he walked over.

“Hello Jesse, Yumi,” Jordan and Lauren greeted the approaching couple.

Jordan said, “My ex-wife, Hailey, has just arrived in England with our child. She demanded to come to our place and asked me to pick her up in the golden carriage.”

Jesse was speechless. “What? That b*tch betrayed you and humiliated our family. How dare she come to our house?”

“She actually dared to request to sit in our family’s golden carriage? What a joke!”

“Other than the Steele family, there are less than 10 people in the world who are qualified to ride that golden carriage!”

“She’s just a loose woman from a third-rate family. What right does she have to sit in it?!”

Yumi also disliked Hailey. “That’s right, Jordan. Ignore her.”

Jordan said, “Yes, I definitely won’t let her into our house. However, since she brought our child here, I’m going to get Dragon to bring the child over to Grandpa.”

Jesse’s expression shifted subtly when he heard the name “Dragon”.

Jesse was the eldest son, while Dragon was the strongest among the talents trained by the Steeles.

By right, Dragon should have been assigned to Jesse. But Charleston chose to assign Dragon to Jordan.

Jesse said, “Jordan, there’s no need to trouble Dragon. I’ll get Butler Frank to make the trip. Just let that b*tch come along.”

“Previously in the US, I didn’t want to stir up trouble, so I didn’t stand up for you.”

“Now that she has taken the initiative to come to our territory, I will definitely seek justice for you and teach her a lesson!”

Jordan felt a small pang of sympathy when he heard that.

To be honest, although Jordan hated Hailey, they were once in love after all. In addition, he had already had his revenge on her.

He had never thought of beating up Hailey or teaching her a lesson.

Since it was all in the past, Jordan did not want to waste his energy on this woman anymore.

ser

“Jesse…” Jordan was about to speak when Jesse reached out his hand. “Jordan, I know you’re soft- hearted. Leave this to Grandpa and me. Don’t worry about it.”

With that, Jesse called Butler Frank over and asked him to go pick up Hailey in his old Bentley.

Half an hour later, in Trafalgar Square.

Hailey was holding onto a pram in one hand and her phone in the other, taking photos of the crowd in the square.

At that moment, she was taking photos of a middle-aged couple feeding pigeons. novelbin

She recognized the couple as they were relatively famous actors back in the US.

“This place is great. I can spot celebrities even just by standing in some public area. I love this place!”

At this moment, Butler Frank walked over.

“Butler Frank! You’re here!”

Hailey was delighted to see Butler Frank.

“Ms. Camden, we meet again.”

Previously, Jordan had arranged for Hailey to go on a blind date with Butler Frank’s grandson, but she had just stomped off angrily.

Hailey said politely, “Butler Frank, you look good. How’s your grandson? Is his leg better?”

Butler Frank responded. “Thank you for your concern. He’s fine. Please follow me.”

“Alright.” Hailey followed Butler Frank to the car.

Seeing that it was an old Bentley and not the luxurious golden carriage, Hailey immediately became unhappy.

“Why is it a car? I want to sit in the golden carriage! The same one Lauren rode in yesterday!”

Hailey demanded.

Butler Frank smiled. “Ms. Camden, I advise you not to be picky. If not for Mr. Jordan’s instructions, I’m afraid no matter what kind of vehicle you ride in, you wouldn’t have the right to enter the Steeles’ residence.”

Hailey was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Butler Frank would say that.

But then again, she hadn’t come all the way here just to show off in the golden carriage. She had more important things to do.

Therefore, she didn’t argue and got into the car.

They arrived at Steele Castle.

“Oh my god! What a beautiful castle! Jordan’s family lives in a castle! He never told me before!”

“Baby, open your eyes and look. This is your father’s house. This is our home. We’re home!”

After alighting, Hailey carried the child into the castle.

At this moment, everyone from the Steele family was waiting for her in one of the halls. “Mr. Steele Senior, Mr. Jesse, Mr. Jordan, Ms Camden and her boy have arrived.” Butler Frank announced as he walked over.

Hailey was carrying the child. When she saw Charleston, she hurriedly knelt on the ground. “Grandpa, I’m Hailey, the daughter-in-law chosen by you and my grandfather!”

Chapter 493

Hailey cried out as she knelt on the ground pitifully. “Grandpa, you personally selected me to be your granddaughter-in-law. You must like me very much, that’s why you chose me from so many candidates.”

“I’m sorry, Grandpa. I’ve disappointed you! Please give me another chance. I’ll be loyal to Jordan. I swear!”

Hailey wasn’t a fool. She had thought about it carefully. The Steeles were such a powerful family, so they must have conducted a major selection process to decide who would marry into their family.

In fact, it was true that a lot of effort had gone into selecting a wife for Jordan then.

Charleston looked at her. This was the first time he had seen her in person. Previously, he had only seen photos and realized that she was much more beautiful in real life! Even though Hailey had given birth before, her figure was still impeccable. Charleston said, “Girl, you’ve misunderstood. I wasn’t the one who chose you to be Jordan’s wife back then. It was his brother Jamie.”

Hailey was taken aback. She thought she was chosen by Charleston.

Hailey hurriedly said, “Jamie has good taste. I heard that he selected Lauren as well. Lauren and I are both outstanding. Jamie’s judgment will definitely not be wrong!”

Lauren was speechless.

She didn’t expect Hailey to praise her.

At this moment, Jesse snorted. “Hailey, you’re just an ordinary girl from a third-rate family. You might be pretty, but you’re not worthy of our Steele family at all!”

“It was your greatest fortune that Jordan decided to marry you!”

“But you didn’t know how to cherish him. Not only did you make him suffer for those past three years, you even betrayed him! You cheated on my brother!”

“You hurt my brother and humiliated our family. How dare you come here today!”

“Grandpa, we have to avenge Jordan and punish this bad woman!”

Jesse looked very indignant, but Charleston was frowning. Although he hated women like Hailey, he had let Jordan marry her as part of his character training.

Charleston had expected the eventual outcome.

However, he did not expect Jordan to love Hailey so deeply that he had his heart broken.

Charleston looked at Jordan and asked, “Jordan, tell us how you want us to punish Hailey so that you can vent your anger.”

Jordan glanced at Hailey, who was kneeling on the ground. They had been husband and wife for three years after all. He did not want to be too ruthless.

If he really wanted to punish her, he would have already done so after hearing the recording of her tryst with Tyler.

In reality, there were many men who killed their wives because of such things. Jordan did not want to become a ruthless murderer like those men.

If there was no longer any love, they could just split up.

Jordan looked at Charleston. “I’ll follow along with whatever Grandpa says.”

Charleston could tell that Jordan had already washed his hands off Hailey. There was no real need for revenge.

Charleston said, “You betrayed my grandson because he didn’t have any money. The best punishment for you now is regret. You will live in regret for the rest of your life and never be happy again.” “Hailey, leave the kid behind. You can go.”

Hailey cried out hysterically, “No, no! Grandpa, don’t chase me away. You can punish me however you want. Don’t chase me away, and don’t let me separate from my child. Please.” As Hailey wailed, she secretly dug her nails into the child’s body. The kid immediately cried in pain.

Hailey hurriedly coaxed the child. As she patted the child, she said, “Baby, don’t cry. Grandpa said that he was just playing around. Grandpa won’t separate us. Mommy won’t leave. Mommy will raise you together with Daddy.”

No matter how bad a woman was, the sight of a mother with her child would win the sympathy of onlookers.

Jesse insisted. “Grandpa, we can’t let her leave just like that. That would be letting her off too easily!”

“Since she wants to stay here, why don’t we let her be a maid in Steele Castle? She can water the plants, sweep and clean the toilets.”

Hailey was a vain woman who always felt that she was of the upper classes. If she were asked to do such things, she would definitely feel very humiliated. “What? Be a maid to the Steele family?” Hailey was stunned. Her dream was to be a daughter-in-law of the Steele family!

Back then, asking her to go on a blind date with Butler Frank’s grandson was already an insult to her. Now, they wanted her to clean the house? novelbin

Jesse smiled. “What? You’re not willing? If you’re unwilling, leave the child behind and get lost. We won’t stop you.”

Hailey bit her lips. She felt extremely humiliated. She had a high status during those three years when she was married to Jordan. She had been served like she was a young, rich scion.

But now, they wanted her to serve Jordan and Lauren!

“For how long?” Hailey asked.

“At least a month,” Jesse said.

“Alright, I’m willing!”

Hailey had actually agreed to Jesse’s request!

Jordan walked over and said to Hailey, “Hailey, leave. You’ve been so proud your entire life. You don’t even know how to cook or wash clothes. You can’t do the work of a maid.”

Hailey hugged the child tightly, afraid that Jordan would snatch him away. “No, I’m not leaving. This is my punishment for doing something wrong. I’ll reflect on myself this month and make up for the hurt I’ve caused you.”

“Jordan, I hope you’ll give me a chance to make it up to you. I hope you can see that I really want to change…”

Jordan shook his head. “Hailey, it doesn’t matter if you change or not. It’s finished between us. It’s impossible.”

Hailey was indulging in a fantasy. Jordan did not even know how to split himself between Lauren and Victoria now. And she thought she could join in?

Jordan would rather choose Victoria’s younger sister, Emily, than choose Hailey!

Butler Frank brought Hailey around to familiarize herself with the place and her duties.

Charleston called Jesse to his room.

Jesse walked behind him and asked with a smile, “Grandpa, is there something you want me to do?”

Charleston asked with a stern expression, “Jesse, why did you deliberately keep Hailey in our house?”

Jesse immediately dropped his smile. Indeed, Charleston could see through him.

He asked Hailey to be a servant to the Steeles not just to punish her or avenge Jordan. His true motive was to keep Hailey at Steele Castle.

Jesse said seriously, “I don’t know if Butler Frank has mentioned it to you before. I feel that Jordan has done very poorly in the emotional and character trial. A mere woman like Hailey managed to make him lose his rationality and do so many impulsive things!”

“How can I trust Jordan with the huge responsibility of bearing our family’s secret?”

“That’s why I chose to let Hailey stay on. I want her to be around Jordan again, to continue honing his character!”

Chapter 494

“Let Hailey be around Jordan again?”.

Charleston frowned. “Hailey is indeed the most suitable candidate to hone Jordan’s character. Jordan’s emotional and character trial wasn’t too successful.”

“However, Hailey hurt Jordan so badly. Wouldn’t it be too cruel to let him see her around all the time?” Jesse said, “Grandpa, only by enduring this kind of unbearable experience can one cultivate a resilience beyond most ordinary people.”

“Ever since we were young, you’ve always taught us to bravely face things that ordinary people don’t dare to face.”

“Jamie and Jordan have undergone all sorts of training since we were young. After we grew up, we went to various parts of the world to train. We didn’t have a deep relationship with our parents.” “Initially, I was very envious of ordinary children. I was envious that they could be with their parents every day.”

“However, later on, after I learned about our family secret, I understood Grandpa’s good intentions.”

“Grandpa, in order to make Jordan an even more outstanding and more emotionally-mature successor, we have to be ruthless to him. Only then can he take on the great responsibility in the future!”

Charleston sighed. He seemed unable to refute Jesse. “Let’s put this matter aside for now. Let me think about it.” “Yes, Grandpa.”

At that moment, Jordan and Lauren were holding hands as they returned to the fruit grove outside the castle to admire the exotic fruits.

Jordan asked, “Honey, Hailey will be living in the castle too. Are you upset by that?”

Lauren shook her head. “No, I know you don’t love her anymore. I’m not worried that you’ll secretly meet her behind my back, hehe.”

Jordan smiled. “I wouldn’t do such a thing with her. Honey, if you have any dirty clothes or anything you need in the future, just tell her to do it.”

“She has always felt superior to you and thinks she’s prettier than you. From what I know of her, if you can deliberately anger her, she will stomp off on her own in a rage.”

Lauren held her hair and lowered her head to dodge a drooping branch. She smiled. “I’m not that kind of woman. Besides, I think she still loves you very much. When she was pursuing Brad, my mother liked her very much.”

“I believe that it won’t be long before she gets our family’s approval and becomes Brad’s wife.”

“To be honest, the Howard family’s wealth and status are good enough for her. If she’s only pursuing material things, there’s no need for her to abandon Brad and risk everything just to come here to find you.”

“She still likes you.”

Jordan recalled what Hailey had said when she caught up with him at the song concert.

Jordan commented. “She does love money and she does still like me. But she came to England only because she was supposed to have what you have now. She feels cheated.”

Lauren nodded. Just then, her phone rang.

Taking out her phone, she saw that it was her mother, Marissa.

“Hello, Mom.”

Marissa asked, “Daughter, where are you? Are you with Jordan?”

Lauren answered, “Yes, Jordan and I are taking a walk in his fruit grove.”

Marissa said, “Oh, okay, okay. Um, tell Jordan to send his family’s golden carriage to pick me and some friends up at the airport.”

Lauren was stunned. “Mom, you’re in England? Didn’t Jordan tell you not to come? Why did you suddenly…”

Marissa said angrily, “Unfilial child! Do you think you are not my daughter anymore just because you married Jordan?! How dare you speak up for him?” “I can’t come just because he doesn’t allow me to? As your mother, what’s wrong with me coming to see the in-laws?!”

Jordan asked Lauren, “Your mother?”

Lauren nodded awkwardly. “Sorry, she has come to England.”

Jordan smiled. “It’s alright. After all, she’s your mother and my mother-in-law. I didn’t let her come previously because I was angry at her for choosing a new husband for you. Since she’s here, let her come. Come, give me the phone.” Jordan was quite polite. Although he was not on good terms with his mother-in-law, he could not be too heartless.

Jordan took the phone. “Mom.”

Marissa was surprised. “Ah, Jordan. I have come to England to visit you. I’m at the airport now. Can you send someone to pick me up?”

Jordan said, “Alright, I’ll personally drive to the airport to pick you up.”

Marissa said, “Jordan, don’t drive. I want to ride in your family’s golden carriage. Is that okay?” Jordan was in a dilemma. “Sure, but the carriage is slow. It’s very far from the airport. You will have to wait for a long time.” Marissa smiled and said, “It’s alright. We can easily entertain ourselves in the meantime. It doesn’t matter if we have to wait another hour or two. Haha.”

“We”?” Jordan was confused. Didn’t Marissa come alone?

Or was Brad here too?

Marissa said, “Oh, it’s just some of my friends. They’re all rather plump. How many people can fit in that golden carriage of yours? I don’t think one is enough. Why don’t you find the Queen of England and borrow another one? We’ll take two golden carriages. It will definitely be more majestic!”

Jordan started to get angry. “Mom, apart from the royal family, only the leaders of major countries are qualified to sit in the Queen of England’s golden carriage. I myself am not qualified to sit in that carriage.”

“The same goes for the Steele family’s golden carriage. If push comes to shove, I can consider you as sort of part of the Steele family, that’s why I agreed to let you ride it.” novelbin

“As for your friends, they have no right to sit in our family’s golden carriage!”

The two golden carriages were produced by the same craftsmen and almost identical.

Only the most powerful people in the world had the right to sit inside.

However, Marissa did not understand. She felt that since it belonged to the Steele family, she could request for anyone to sit inside. She felt that Jordan was being petty.

“Jordan, isn’t it just a carriage belonging to your family? My friends are all rich and powerful socialites. How are they not qualified to sit in it?!”

Jordan said, “Mom, you don’t understand the meaning behind the golden carriage at all. Do you know how large a police force will be deployed to protect the golden carriage? Even the military is involved.”

“Your friends are just ordinary civilians. If I mobilize the English police and military forces just for some friends of yours, how do you expect me to explain this to the Prime Minister and the royal family?”

“Anyway, the golden carriage is a no-go. If you want, I’ll come pick you up in a Bentley.”

Marissa retorted angrily, “Who cares about your Bentley! My family also has a Bentley! You useless son-in-law. Back home, you eat and drink my family’s food, stay in my daughter’s house, and drive my daughter’s car. I didn’t even complain about all that.”

“Now that we’re in your territory, I can’t even use your lousy carriage? How am I going to explain this to my friends?!”

“Scoundrel, I’m not going to your house anymore. You don’t have to pick me up!”

Chapter 495

Marissa hung up angrily.

Exasperated, Jordan returned the phone to Lauren and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Honey. I’m not trying to be difficult with your mother. It’s not that I don’t want to let her sit in the carriage. It’s just that…”

Lauren cut in, “I understand, Hubby. Mom’s request is too overboard. Once the golden carriage is mobilized, it will definitely cause a commotion on many levels. I know your family has always been very low-profile. Yesterday, when we rode the golden carriage, they had to seal the roads and get the royal guards to protect me. I was quite embarrassed.”

Jordan nodded. He was very happy that his wife was a reasonable person. If it was another woman, she might have argued with her husband and said nasty things.

“Actually, yesterday was the first time our family’s golden carriage was driven through the London city area. My grandfather and others in the family have never done that before.”

Lauren covered her mouth in surprise. “Even Brother Jesse and Sister Yumi have never ridden it in the city before?”.

Jordan shook his head.

Lauren couldn’t believe it. “Will Sister Yumi blame me for being frivolous? Will she hate me because of this?”

They were both daughters-in-law of the Steele family. Lauren had come here for the first time and already used the family’s golden carriage on her first day.

Yumi was the wife of the eldest son and she had never used it even though she had been married into the Steele family for several years. Lauren felt that Yumi might be upset with her because of this, and

was becoming increasingly anxious. She cared a lot about her relationship with the Steele family members.

Jordan smiled. “No, she won’t. My brother and sister-in-law treat me very well. They won’t be upset because of that. Don’t worry.”

At Heathrow Airport, London. “That useless son-in-law! I’m so angry! How did I end up with such a stingy son-in-law?!” Marissa was still scolding Jordan after hanging up. Her friend asked, “Marissa, what’s going on? Is it inconvenient for Jordan to pick us up? We can take a taxi there ourselves.”

Marissa smiled awkwardly. “I’m really sorry to have made a fool of myself. My son-in-law is too outrageous! I’ll take you to the hotel. We can go to the casino!”

With that said, Marissa brought her four socialite friends to a 192-year-old casino in England where they played Punto Banco.

“Useless son-in-law, stingy son-in-law! Jordan, I’m going to spend 10 million pounds here tonight! And you will compensate me for every single cent I spend!”

Marissa assumed that since Jordan’s family was very powerful in England, she could lose as much money as she wanted here. There was no need to worry. As a result, Marissa played carelessly, intending to lose money.

However, she kept winning time and time again!

“Aiyo, Marissa, you’re so lucky today. How much have you won? You must have won a million pounds by now, right?”

Marissa laughed. “I’ve already won two million pounds!”

“Oh my god, that’s crazy!”

Coincidentally, Lauren happened to call at this moment.

“Hello, Mom, where are you? Jordan and I have come to pick you up. Jordan’s mother knows that you’re here and wants to see you very much. She’s waiting for you to come to dinner tonight,” Lauren said.

Marissa snorted. “I have to go meet the Steeles just because they want to? If they wanted to see me so much, why didn’t they come to your wedding? I’m not free. I’m having fun at the casino. I won’t be going over tonight. We’ll see how it goes tomorrow!”

Lauren knew that her mother was a bit of a gambling addict. She cautioned her. “Mom, just play a little for entertainment. Don’t lose too much.”

Marissa retorted. “What are you talking about? Do you know how much money I’ve earned in just a couple of hours? Two million pounds! Your mother will be rich tonight. Hahahaha…”

It was rare for Lauren to hear Marissa so happy. She knew that her mother was enjoying her gambling so much that even the golden carriage wouldn’t be able to lure her over.

“Alright, then. Since you are winning, enjoy yourself. I’ll look for you tomorrow morning.”

After hanging up, Lauren said to Jordan, “Mom won’t be coming for dinner tonight. She’s gambling in the casino.”

Jordan nodded. “Which casino? I’ll pay for whatever losses she incurs.”

Lauren smiled. “No need. She was lucky today and won two million pounds.”

The look on Jordan’s face was one of shock. Was his mother-in-law the Queen of Gambling?

Soon enough, it was time for dinner.

The Steeles did not have high requirements for breakfast and lunch. Dinner was the most important and sumptuous meal, and everyone in the family was expected to join for dinner.

It was another magnificent feast on the dining table with a variety of cuisines. Today, Hailey was part of the servants.

Hailey was wearing a maid’s outfit, the same one worn by all the servants of the Steele family. As the Steeles had a good relationship with Chanel, the maids’ uniforms were personally designed by the famous designer.

It was an ordinary servant’s garb. However, on Hailey, the effect was astounding. Both Jesse and Jordan were stunned by the sight.

Oh my god, was the Steele family’s maid uniform always so alluring?!

Hailey was wearing a white apron cinched at the waist. The white ribbon was just begging for a man to untie it. She was wearing a black dress that was neither long nor short, and it perfectly displayed her long, fair legs. In normal circumstances, Hailey already had a pure and charming aura. Wearing this maid outfit, she looked absolutely lethal! “Gulp…”

Jesse couldn’t help swallowing hard.

Jordan didn’t do that. Instead, he recalled some amorous memories between him and his ex-wife. When they were husband and wife, Hailey had once worn something similar… Hailey would flutter her eyelashes and pout, glancing at Jordan from time to time as if she wanted to remind him of those beautiful memories.

“This woman is so annoying…”

Watching Hailey, this woman who had cheated on him, all sorts of emotions surged in Jordan’s heart. He originally thought that he would vomit whenever he encountered Hailey after their divorce. He didn’t expect this woman’s charm to reach such a level! novelbin

‘Hailey is so beautiful. Jamie, you bastard!!’

Feeling that he still couldn’t forget Hailey or hate her, Jordan once again blamed Jamie, who had stirred up all that trouble.

“Mr. Jordan, this is a grilled fish dish which the kitchen prepared specially for you.”

In her maid costume, Hailey deliberately brought the dish to Jordan. Once again, Jordan got a whiff of that familiar perfume!

“Alright.” Jordan nodded.

But Hailey remained standing there, and she asked Jordan in a flirtatious tone, “Master, are you satisfied with my service?”

Chapter 496

Hailey’s question made Jordan tremble. He felt especially sensitive!

‘Damn Hailey, this b*tch. She actually said such ambiguous words to arouse me and even did it in front of my wife!’

In reality, Hailey had addressed Jordan as “master” before. It was when they were role-playing as master and servant in their Orlando villa after their reconciliation. It was obvious that Hailey had purposely called Jordan “master” to remind him of those wonderful times.

Although Lauren was beautiful beyond words, she was not as sexy as Hailey.

A good woman was more worthy of love than a bad woman. However, bad women were much better than good women in certain things. They knew how to make a man happy.

Jordan felt very awkward. He could not blame Hailey for trying to tempt him because there was nothing wrong with what she said.

Since Hailey was a servant to the Steeles, Jordan was indeed her master. Many servants addressed him as “Master”, so there was technically nothing wrong with what she had said. novelbin

Moreover, even Lauren and the rest did not notice anything amiss with how Lauren addressed him. So in the end, Jordan had no choice but to reply awkwardly, “Hmm… not bad.”

Hailey bent over respectfully in front of Jordan. She continued to ask in a demure manner, “Master, is there anything else I can do for

you?”

Jordan could not stand Hailey calling him Master. It was too tempting. It was not that Jordan lacked self-control or that he had forgiven her. It was just that the memories from the past were too vivid.

“Nothing else. Hailey, you don’t need to be here anymore. Go back to your room and look after the child.”

Hailey replied respectfully, “Thank you, Master.”

Watching Hailey leave, Lauren asked softly, “Hubby, did you let your ex-wife leave because your heart ached for her when you saw her serving us?”

It seemed like Lauren was really bad at recognizing the tricks of a bad woman. There was no way Jordan would feel sorry for Hailey!

If anything, Jordan felt rather smug when he saw the arrogant Hailey serving food like a maid! But he could not tell Lauren the truth in case she was jealous. Therefore, he said, “Yes, we were once husband and wife after all.” Lauren soon finished her meal. She hadn’t taken a single drop of alcohol. As she had gotten drunk during her first dinner here and even sang in public for the first time, this alone was sufficient to make her quit drinking from then on!

Nevertheless, Jordan and the rest of the family drank throughout the meal.

Lauren stood up and left after finishing her food. She wanted to meet the son of Jordan and Hailey.

Since this child was that of Jordan, Lauren had to take on the responsibility of being his stepmother. She came to the servants’ quarters where Hailey was staying. The room was small, but it was nicely decorated.

Knock-knock

Lauren came to the doorway. The door was open, but she still knocked twice.

When Hailey saw Lauren, she immediately said, “Mrs. Jor… Jordan…”

Hailey didn’t want to call Lauren that. She wanted to be on the same level as her, but now, she was just a maid. Lauren was above her in status.

Lauren hurriedly said, “Ms. Camden, you can just call me by my name.”

“Lauren, why are you here?” Hailey asked.

In response, Lauren pointed at the child lying on the bed. “I wanted to see your child with Jordan.”

With that, she walked over and looked at the baby with a smile. She wasn’t hostile towards him just because he was her husband’s child with another woman. She treated him with genuine warmth.

Hailey watched Lauren playing with her child and thought to herself: ‘I didn’t expect this woman to be so magnanimous and kind. I shouldn’t have treated her as an enemy…’

Ever since she met Lauren, Hailey had always treated her as her love rival and competed with her in every way. However, Lauren and Jordan’s marriage was very stable now. It was almost impossible for Hailey to steal Jordan away from Lauren.

Hailey suddenly looked at her pleadingly. “Dear Lauren, can I ask you for a favor?”

Lauren was a little surprised. “What favor?”

Hailey said, “Lauren, you know that I was married to Jordan for three years. I married him while I was still in university. He’s the man I love the most in my life! I cannot live without him! I don’t dare to beg you to let me have Jordan. I’m like a fallen angel and I’m not worthy of having Jordan all to myself anymore.

“But I hope you can agree to let me be Jordan’s mistress!”

Lauren was stunned. The proud and arrogant Hailey was actually willing to be a mistress! Hailey wouldn’t even consider being the mistress of Brad, whose family was also very powerful

With Hailey’s qualities, it was very easy for her to find a rich and handsome man to marry her.

It was obvious that she was willing to sacrifice a lot to have Jordan again!

However, Lauren rejected her. “I’m sorry, Ms. Camden. I can’t agree to it!”

“What?”

Hailey didn’t expect Lauren to reject her so quickly!

Hailey said angrily, “Why, Lauren? Do you intend to keep Jordan all for yourself? With his family background and his qualities, it’s impossible for him to only have one woman in his life!

“Look at Jordan’s father, he had several women. Isn’t your father the same? Why can’t you accept me as Jordan’s mistress? I promise you that I’ll definitely respect you as the rightful wife and treat you as my sister.

“During the week, he can stay with you for four days, and spend three days with me. Is that okay? If not, you can have five days with him, and I will just take two!”

Goodness, Hailey had already thought about how to allocate Jordan’s time for a week!

However, Lauren said, “I want to be with Jordan forever, with no other woman disturbing us. In this life, I will only love Jordan.”

Holding back a hiss, Hailey stood up angrily. “You’re too selfish! How can you monopolize such an outstanding man like Jordan? If I were still Jordan’s wife, I would agree to accept you as a mistress! As long as he was happy!”

Lauren paused for a moment and continued, “But I also know that it’s impossible for Jordan to only love me, the way I love him. So, I can accept it if he gets a mistress.” Hearing this, Hailey was instantly delighted. She immediately grabbed Lauren’s hand and kissed her cheek happily. Two beauties with their cheeks pressed together. A charming sight!

“Thank you, Lauren!” Hailey was very happy. She thought that Lauren had agreed to let her be Jordan’s mistress.

However, Lauren clarified. “Ms. Camden, you’ve misunderstood. I agreed to Jordan having a mistress but I didn’t agree for the mistress to be you.”

“Then who?” Hailey asked in surprise.

“Victoria Clarke!”

Chapter 497

Two of the most beautiful women in the entire US were standing inside this servant’s room. One was wearing a maid’s uniform, while the other was wearing an elegant red dress.

This was the first time these two beauties were interacting so closely. Beautiful people had their pride and rarely took the initiative to approach others.

“I can only accept Victoria as Jordan’s mistress. I won’t agree for it to be you! You betrayed Jordan when you were with him, and not only once. If you get together with him again, I’m afraid you’ll do the same thing and hurt him again.”

Hailey retorted, “If it wasn’t for your brother, who came to threaten me and slept with me to avenge you, would I have cheated on Jordan?! You’re responsible for what I did to Jordan! I suspect that you asked your brother to do it so that I would end up having another man’s child. That was what made Jordan abandon me. Only then did you have a chance to take my place!”

Hearing Hailey’s accusations, Lauren hurriedly defended herself, “I didn’t ask Brad to do that! Also, even without Brad, you cheated with Tyler and Cayden.”

Hailey argued, “I was just impulsive with Tyler! Moreover, Jordan forgave me when he found out. After we remarried, I didn’t betray him! I didn’t do anything with Cayden during our marriage!”

Lauren said, “You know very well whether you did or not. Anyway, I won’t agree with you being Jordan’s mistress. When we find Victoria, you can discuss with her and see if she’ll let you be the second mistress.”

With that, Lauren turned to leave. She just wanted to establish a good relationship with Jordan’s son. She did not expect Hailey to make such an outrageous request. Hailey cried pitifully. “You want me to be the second mistress? Why are you and Victoria treating me like this?! I was Jordan’s first wife! I should be the boss. You guys should be the mistresses!

“Lauren, don’t think that you’re very beautiful. Don’t think that you’re very outstanding. Let me tell you, if I didn’t cheat on Jordan, he wouldn’t even give you a second look! You wouldn’t have stood a chance!!” Hailey screamed hysterically at Lauren’s departing figure.

As Lauren was well brought up, she chose to leave and completely ignored Hailey.

Only a loser would create such a scene.

Four o’clock in the morning, at the casino. Marissa and her friends were still playing Punto Banco in high spirits. Many onlookers had gathered around them.

“Wow, Marissa, you won again! Your luck today is too good!”

“Marissa, we’ve been playing all night. You’ve won enough. Why don’t we go back to our room to rest?”

Marissa had gambled from the afternoon until four in the morning. She had used a million pounds to win five million!

Five million pounds!

Marissa couldn’t stop smiling. “Hahahaha, I won five million pounds tonight. I’m going to call my husband and tell him the good news.”

Marissa called Stefan, but he did not answer.

“Come on, it’s already four in the morning. Your husband is already asleep.”

Marissa snorted and happily went to exchange her chips for money.

After that, they left the casino happily.

However, the moment they stepped out, a few young men immediately rushed forward and pointed their guns at Marissa. “Don’t move! Get in the car!”

Marissa immediately had a bad feeling. It was all her fault for being too ostentatious and refusing to leave after winning so much. Everyone in the casino knew that she had won a lot of money in one night.

This must have attracted the attention of some bad guys. They had come to rob her!

Marissa hurriedly said, “Don’t shoot. If you want my money, I can give it to you.” The armed man said fiercely, “Cut the crap. If you don’t want to die, get in the car obediently!” “No, no!”

The ladies were so frightened that they screamed and wailed. Marissa was terrified and exclaimed, “Let me tell you, we’re not ordinary tourists. We’re very influential in England. Don’t mess with us!”

The robber was amused. “Oh? Are you connected to the mafia?”

Marissa said, “I’m connected to the Steele family! My son-in-law is Jordan Steele! He’s the person who rode in the golden carriage yesterday!” novelbin

The robber was stunned for a moment. “Steele family? A golden carriage? It sounds like they’re very rich. Very good. I can take you hostage and extort money from them!”

“Hahaha, I love robbing tourists the most, haha.”

“Bring them into the car!”

Half an hour later, Lauren, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly woken up by her phone.

Opening her eyes, she saw that it was her mother. In a daze, she picked up the call.

“Mom, it’s already so late. What’s the matter? Don’t tell me how much you’ve won. I’m not interested,” Lauren muttered groggily.

Meanwhile, Marissa was crying. “Lauren, I’ve been kidnapped! Get Jordan to save me!”

“What?”

Lauren was jolted awake and immediately sat up. Likewise, Jordan was woken up by her movements.

Jordan patted her shoulder and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“My mother has been kidnapped.” Lauren’s face was pale.

“Put your phone on speaker!” Jordan instructed.

It was no longer Marissa’s voice on the other end of the line, but a man. “Hello?” Jordan replied, “Who are you?” The man continued. “You’re Steele, right? I heard you’re the son-in-law of this lady? Haha, your silly mother-in-law threatened us, saying that you’re very influential here and asked us to let her go. Otherwise, you’ll make us wish we were dead. She sure knows how to brag.” The Steele family was very private and preferred to stay under the radar. Even in England, few people knew about them. “What do you want?” Jordan asked calmly.

The most important thing now was to ensure his mother-in-law’s safety. As long as he could bring her back safely, it would be easy to deal with these small-time criminals after.

The man replied, “I heard you’re very rich. Bring 10 million pounds here to redeem your mother-in-law!”

Jordan agreed immediately. “Alright, 10 million pounds is no problem. What’s the address?”

After learning the address, Jordan immediately got off the bed to change.

Lauren kept crying. What if something happened to her mother?

Seeing his wife so distressed, Jordan pulled her into his arms and comforted her, “Lauren, don’t be afraid. They must have targeted Mom because she’s rich. As long as we give them the money, they will let her go. I’ll get Butler Frank to prepare the money now.”

Lauren was a little ashamed. “I’m sorry, Hubby. You have to fork out so much money because of me.”

10 million pounds was not a small sum of money. A smile was on his face. “They may get the money, but they won’t be alive to spend it.”

Chapter 498

England was Jordan’s territory. How dare someone kidnap his mother-in-law? They must be courting death!

Jordan brought Lauren to the living room and called Butler Frank to prepare 10 million pounds in cash.

Many wealthy people were only asset-rich. They might not be able to fork out so much cash on such short notice. But to the Steeles, 10 million pounds in cash was no big deal. This castle was not only filled with cash, but also gold, silver and jewelry.

Right at that moment, Jesse walked down the stairs in his pajamas. “Jordan, Lauren, it’s already so late. What are you doing?” Jesse walked over curiously.

Jordan looked at his brother. “Jesse, did we disturb your sleep?”

Jesse shook his head. “Oh, no. I was just getting up to go to the washroom when I heard something. I came over to take a look… Huh? What are you planning to do with so much money?”

Jordan answered truthfully, “Lauren’s mother won money at the casino. She was kidnapped the moment she came out. The kidnapper asked us for 10 million pounds.”

“What? Kidnapped? Who’s so bold to kidnap our in-laws?!”

Jesse immediately became very agitated.

Picking up his phone immediately, he instructed, “Jordan, you don’t have to prepare the ransom. There’s nothing our family can’t settle in England! Tell me the address. I’ll get Chimera to save your mother-in-law.”

Marissa was Jordan’s mother-in-law. She looked down on Jordan and kept saying bad things about him.

But she was still his wife’s mother.

Now that Marissa had gotten into such a mess, Jordan, as her son-in-law, wanted to save her personally. Jordan replied, “No need. I’ll get Dragon to save Mom.”

At this moment, an unfathomable smile appeared on Jesse’s face. “Why, Jordan? You don’t believe that I can save your mother-in-law, right? That’s right. Dragon is indeed stronger than Chimera. Alright, let Dragon go then.”

The conversation made Jordan feel very uncomfortable! Based on seniority, Dragon should have been assigned to Jesse, Chimera to Jamie, and Phoenix to Jordan.

However, Charleston had assigned Dragon, who was the most powerful, to Jordan, the youngest brother.

Although Jesse had never said anything, Jordan knew that his brother was unhappy about it. He would definitely feel that it was unfair!

Jordan did not want to hurt his brother’s feelings, so he immediately replied, “How can that be? Jesse, what are you thinking? I didn’t mean it like that. We all know that Chimera has been stationed in the underworld for longer than Dragon. He is more familiar with the criminals here.

“I’ll have to trouble you to let Chimera save my mother-in-law.”

Jesse smiled when he heard Jordan’s agreement. He nodded. “Don’t worry, I’ll bring Aunty back safe and sound.”

With that, he walked away and made a call. Jordan patted Lauren’s shoulder and comforted her, “Honey, don’t worry. Jesse’s subordinate, Chimera, is very powerful. He’s very experienced in handling

such matters. Since these kidnappers dared to extort money from the Steeles, it means that they’re not some major syndicate. Otherwise, they would have heard of our family.

“It should be easy for Chimera to deal with such small-time gangsters.”

After Jordan analyzed the situation, he truly believed that Chimera would be able to resolve this matter perfectly. There was no need to send Dragon.

It would be like a simple basketball maneuver during a game. If a primary school student could do it, why get an NBA player? Of course, the difference between Chimera and Dragon was not wide. If it was a one-on-one fight, Dragon would have an approximately 60 percent chance of winning over Chimera.

What made Dragon more formidable than Chimera was his intelligence, ability to see the big picture, personality and superior ability to react in a chaotic battle.

Half an hour later, at an abandoned factory in the suburbs of London. Before dawn, a man nearly two meters tall walked in with a heavy bag.

It was Chimera, one of the three fierce right-hand men of the Steele family!

He was 1.98 meters tall and weighed 103kg. With tattoos all over his arms and back, he gave off a very foreboding aura. There were guards at the door. When they say Chimera, they were a little afraid. However, they were armed and so they stood their ground.

“You’re from the Steeles? Did you bring the money?” One of the guards asked.

A wicked smile spread across Chimera’s face. It was the kind of sinister smile that would only appear when one was about to kill.

He didn’t say anything and just lifted the bag in his hand.novelbin

“Search him!” One of the guards said to the other.

The guard searched Chimera but did not find any weapons on him.

“Go in!”

Since Chimera was not armed, they would let him enter.

Although Chimera was tall and appeared to have extraordinary combat strength, the people inside were all holding guns. They were not afraid of him at all.

Chimera walked in with his bag and spotted Marissa and her friends tied to chairs.

The other ladies were nothing special. They were all fat, middle-aged women. However, Marissa had maintained her figure very well. The ropes wound around her only accentuated her good figure.

When one of the kidnappers noticed this, he couldn’t resist. He wanted to molest Marissa, but she quickly told him that she was already in her 60s. The kidnapper immediately drew back his hand.

With her well-maintained looks, the kidnapper did not realize that Marissa was that old.

When the leader of the gang saw Chimera, he asked, “You brought 10 million pounds? Can such a small, lousy bag hold all that money?”

Chimera smiled. “If you don’t believe me, you can check.” The leader snorted. “I’ll kill you if I don’t see 10 million pounds in there!”

The leader walked over with a gun in his hand. He unzipped the bag and saw that it was filled with scrap paper!

The leader was furious. “F*ck! You’re courting death! How dare you fool me!”

The leader immediately raised his gun, wanting to shoot Chimera, but Chimera reacted with lightning speed and punched his chest. In the next second, Chimera snatched the gun and killed the leader!

There were more than a dozen gangsters at present. They all took out their guns and pointed them at Chimera!

However, Chimera was not afraid at all. He fired a couple of shots before rolling across the ground to snatch another gun. Using one of the dead bodies as a shield, Chimera soon killed all the gangsters in the room!

The two guards at the door were also shot to death by Chimera’s men, who were hidden outside!

The kidnappers never stood a chance!

Seeing the bloodbath ensue in a matter of seconds, Marissa and her friends were overjoyed. “We’re saved! We’re saved! It must be Marissa’s good son-in-law who sent someone to save us!”

“Wow, this man’s skills and marksmanship are outstanding! Marissa, your son-in-law is impressive to have such a subordinate!”

Marissa cried excitedly as well. “That b*stard, Jordan, he didn’t disappoint me after all!”

Chapter 499

Over one night, Marissa had gone from extreme joy to extreme fear. Now that she was finally saved, she was so emotional that she couldn’t stop crying.

After getting rid of the gangsters, Chimera walked to Marissa and asked, “You’re Mr. Jordan’s mother- in-law, right?” Marissa’s hands and feet were tied, so she could not wipe her tears. She nodded repeatedly. “Yes, I’m Jordan’s mother-in-law, Marissa. Thank you for saving us.”

Chimera smiled and took out a dagger. He cut the ropes on Marissa’s body and handed her a packet of tissue to wipe her tears. He then untied the other ladies.

They all thanked Chimera profusely.

These middle-aged women rarely met a man as tall as Chimera. They were also very impressed by his skills just now. novelbin

Marissa asked Chimera, “Mister, what is your name?”

Chimera answered respectfully, “I am called Chimera. I’m Mr. Jesse’s subordinate. I’m here on his orders to save you.”

“Jesse?”

Marissa was stunned. Why was it Jordan’s brother, Jesse? Why wasn’t it Jordan who saved her?

“Damn you, Jordan. How dare you not send someone to save me? I thought this tall and mighty man was Jordan’s subordinate!” Marissa had been very grateful to Jordan earlier. But now, her gratitude had vanished in an instant.

“I’ll take you all out of here,” Chimera continued.

Chimera drove them back to downtown London.

Marissa’s friends were all frightened. They didn’t dare to stay in England anymore. They hurriedly bought plane tickets and went straight to the airport.

Meanwhile, Chimera drove Marissa to Steele Castle.

Jordan, Lauren and Jesse were waiting in the living room. It was six in the morning when Marissa finally arrived at Steele Castle.

“Sir, I have completed the rescue mission!”

Chimera walked over and reported to Jesse.

“Mom!”

When Lauren saw Marissa following behind Chimera, she immediately ran over excitedly. Mother and daughter were so emotional that tears flowed freely. It was clear they both had a great fright.

Jordan walked over and asked in concern, “Mom, are you alright?”

When she saw Jordan, Marissa rolled her eyes in contempt!

“Hmph!”

Ignoring him, she walked towards Jesse first and smiled at him. “Hello, Jesse. We meet again. Do you still remember me?”

Jesse smiled. “Of course. You’re Jordan’s mother-in-law. We met at Jordan’s wedding previously. You’re so beautiful, how could I forget?” Marissa returned his smile. “Jesse, is Chimera your subordinate? Thank you so much for sending your man to such a dangerous place to save us. When I saw Chimera barging in alone to deal with so many people, I was really worried for him.”

Jesse laughed. “Aunty, don’t worry. This is just a small matter. Dealing with those criminals is nothing to Chimera. When I gave this mission to him, I especially instructed him not to let Aunty get hurt at all. I wonder if he managed it successfully? Were you injured at all?”

Marissa hurriedly waved her hands. “No, no! Those kidnappers didn’t even have the time to make a move on us. Chimera finished them off in just a few seconds! He’s too amazing!

“It’s all thanks to you that I was saved. Lauren, come over quickly and thank your brother-in-law!”

Jesse’s subordinate had saved them, so the credit naturally had to be given to him.

As a result, Jordan had become completely invisible. If Jordan had sent Dragon, he would have also been able to save Marissa!

Lauren walked over and thanked Jesse. “Thank you, Jesse. Thank you, Chimera.”

Jesse hurriedly said, “Mrs. Howard, Lauren, you’re treating me like an outsider. Jordan and I are brothers. His family is my family. As his elder brother, I won’t shirk my duty. By the way, Mrs. Howard, you had a major scare earlier. I’ve already asked the servants to prepare a rose bath for you. You can take a bath first to relax.”

Marissa was delighted. “Look at how considerate Jesse is. He even prepared a rose bath for me. Thank you so much. But I want to see Lauren’s father first. Isn’t he here too? Where is he now?”

Jesse said, “Oh, he’s probably still asleep. We didn’t want him to worry, so we didn’t wake him to tell him about your kidnapping. I’ll bring you to him.”

“Thank you.”

Marissa followed Jesse and arrived at Stefan’s room. After knocking several times on the door, there was no response from the inside.

“Is Dad not in the room?” Lauren asked curiously.

Jesse called the servants over and asked, “Is Mr. Howard in the room?”

“He went to Ms. Steele’s room,” the maid answered.

“Ms. Steele?”

Everyone was stunned.

Jordan’s sisters were not home. There were no Ms. Steeles in Steele Castle now.

‘He probably went to Aunt’s room.’ Jordan thought in his mind. He could tell that Stefan liked his aunt. In fact, he specially came to England for Jordan’s aunt! Jesse was also puzzled. “Could he have gone to Aunt’s room?”

Marissa immediately became very agitated. She grabbed Jesse’s arm and said, “Jesse, bring me to your aunt’s room. That b*stard, Stefan, must be there! I was curious as to why he insisted on coming to England? It’s because of a woman! He hasn’t given up on Ms. Steele!”

Marissa knew about Stefan and Jordan’s aunt’s story. She knew that the woman whom Stefan liked the most back then was Jordan’s aunt, not Marissa.

“Uh…”

Jesse was in a dilemma.

Marissa grabbed Jesse’s hand. She said in an agitated manner, “Please, bring me over. I promise I won’t cause trouble. I just want to see if that b*stard, Stefan, really did such a shameless thing!” Lauren quickly defended her father. “Mom, it’s not like that. Dad might have gone looking for Aunt for some innocent reason.”

“Alright, let’s go take a look then.”

Jesse led the way and arrived at his aunt’s floor. Just as he approached, he saw his aunt and Stefan walking out of the room.

They were holding hands like a couple, their faces brimming with happiness. When Marissa saw her husband holding hands with another woman, she broke down on the spot!

Stefan was so startled when he saw Marissa that he quickly let go of the aunt’s hand. “Ma… Marissa, why are you here?”.

Chapter 500

Stefan had always admired Jordan’s aunt. To a man, the one who got away would always be a regret. This was especially true for a man like Stefan, who had a good family background and was successful.

After all, Stefan could get almost any woman he wanted.

Jordan’s aunt happened to be divorced at the moment, which was why Stefan had a chance now.

When Marissa saw their clasped hands, she broke down. She had just experienced a near-death experience, being robbed and kidnapped.

Meanwhile, her man was with another woman!

She couldn’t slap that woman because she was from the Steele family and it was also Charleston’s daughter. In the end, Marissa was just a new guest here. This was Jordan’s aunt’s territory.

Hence, Marissa could only curse at Stefan. “Stefan! To think that I was still thinking about you when I was kidnapped and about to die! But here you are with another woman! I have loved the wrong man in this life!”

With that, Marissa turned around and ran away with tears in her eyes.

“Mom!”

Lauren wanted to run after Marissa. She was afraid that her mother would take things too hard.

Jesse stopped her. “I’m more familiar with this place. I’ll go comfort your mother. Talk to your father first and let him understand the situation.”

Seeing that Marissa had already run out of sight, Lauren nodded.

Marissa had run away without any destination in mind. This castle was enormous and as it was her first time here, she would definitely get lost.

After a short search, Jesse found Marissa in an unoccupied room. She was sitting on the bed and crying.

Walking in, Jesse closed the door behind him. He took out a tissue and handed it to Marissa before sitting down beside her.

“Mrs. Howard, I’m sorry that you encountered such a scene on the very first day at our place. I apologize on behalf of my aunt.”

Taking the tissue, Marissa wiped her tears with the air of a noblewoman. “It has nothing to do with your aunt. Stefan is an ugly toad who hankers after a beautiful swan. He has always been obsessed with your aunt!

“Since the day he married me, I knew that he had another woman in his heart. But I didn’t expect him to still be thinking about that woman after more than 20 years. And after I bore him children! I’ve fallen in love with the wrong man! Even if I fall in love with a dog, it’s better than falling in love with a b*stard like him!

Marissa started to sob again.

Rich or poor, everyone was susceptible to the pain of love. In fact, for a woman like Marissa who did not have to worry about food or shelter, her desire for love was even stronger.

Jesse suddenly said, “Mrs. Howard, if you need a shoulder to cry on, you can lean on me.” What? Marissa was so stunned that she stopped sobbing.

Jesse actually offered her his shoulder…

It would be fine if Jordan was the one who offered. After all, Jordan was Marissa’s son-in-law. A son-in- law was like half a son. There would be no problem even if she hugged him.

However, Jesse was barely related to Marissa. “Jesse…”

The way Marissa looked at Jesse also changed.

She had always had a good impression of Jesse. The first time they met, she felt that he was steady, domineering, and more sensible than Jordan.

And last night, it was Jesse who had sent someone to save her. So it was no surprise that she treated Jesse like her savior.

Jesse smiled. “Why, Mrs. Howard? Is my shoulder not broad enough?”

Marissa said with a gentle expression, “How could that be? Jesse… countless women would kill to lean on your shoulder. It’s just that… I’m an old woman. I don’t have the right…”

The two of them were no longer children. The ambiguous tension in the room surged. They were both adults. It was impossible they didn’t feel it.

Jesse smiled gently. “Actually, there’s not much difference in our ages. I’m older than Jordan. You’re also a young mother, right?”

As Jesse spoke, he reached out to caress Marissa’s hair.

This ambiguous action broke down Marissa’s resistance. Her heart burned with the urge to take revenge on Stefan.

Leaning forward, she let her lips touch Jesse’s in a searing kiss!

In the castle. The living room on the first floor.

Lauren and the others were waiting in the living room.

Lauren asked anxiously, “Why isn’t Mom back yet? Could it be that Brother Jesse couldn’t find her? Did something happen to her?”

Patting Lauren’s back, Jordan comforted her soothingly, “Not possible. Jesse lives in the castle all year round. He’s very familiar with every nook and cranny. It’s impossible that he can’t find her.”

However, Lauren was still worried about her mother. Ever since she found out that her mother had been kidnapped, she had been very antsy.

“But it’s already been more than half an hour. If Brother Jesse found Mom, he should have brought her here by now,” Lauren said.

Jordan looked at the time and also felt that something was wrong. He stood up and said, “Let’s go. I’ll accompany you to take a look.”

Just as the two of them stood up, they saw Jesse and Marissa walking down the stairs.

Jesse walked in front in his usual manner. But Marissa looked somewhat different.

Although she had just experienced her husband’s betrayal, she did not look heartbroken or angry. Instead, she looked like she had been reborn. Moreover, she kept playing with her hair, paying more attention to her image than when she first arrived. How could a person who just had a mental breakdown care about whether she looked good?

“Mom!”

Lauren hurried over. “Mom, where did you go? You scared me just now. Did you do anything stupid?”

Marissa nodded calmly. “Silly girl, I knew what kind of person your father was. I wouldn’t do anything stupid for him!”

At that moment, Stefan and Jordan’s aunt walked over.

Stefan said, “Marissa, you’ve misunderstood. I went over early in the morning to learn how to grow flowers from Ms. Steele. There’s nothing between us.”

Jordan’s aunt apologized to Marissa as well. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Howard. I should have been more careful.”

It was clear that Marissa was still a little angry. She snorted coldly but did not rebuke them.

Jesse said, “Alright, alright. We’re family. Let’s not be angry anymore. Lauren’s mother has come to our place, so we have to treat her well. I’ll wake Grandpa up now. Let’s have breakfast together.”

Marissa suddenly reached out to pull Jesse back, but then she quickly withdrew her hand as if to avoid arousing suspicion. “Um, Jesse, I want to take a shower first. Can you call your grandfather in another half an hour?”
