The Abandoned Husband Dominates Chapter 661-665

Chapter 661

‘He’s from New Orleans, Louisiana!’

Tom’s American accent became even more apparent and Charleston immediately recognized it. It was a New Orleans accent! And “kass twa” was a swear word usually heard in that region!

Charleston had done business all over the US so he could recognize all the unique accents. He did not expect Jordan’s swearing would end up exposing Shaun Handley’s origins!

New Orleans was a place known for the occult. Charleston was always a little wary when he visited that region.

Charleston said with a serious expression, “Enough. Jordan, bring Lota back to her room to rest.”

Seeing how upset Lota was, Charleston couldn’t deal with her “father” properly if she was present.

Jordan hugged Lota and glared at Tom. He warned him, “You better behave yourself here. Otherwise, my Zephyr Three will instantly destroy your place!”

The Handley family had all kinds of bizarre methods. Jordan was still a little worried.

After Jordan brought Lota out of the room, Charleston smiled politely. “My grandson is young and impetuous. He’s insensible and offended you. Please don’t mind him. Kindly have a seat.”

“Thank you.”

After Tom sat down, Charleston asked, “Mr. Handley is from New Orleans?”

Tom looked surprised. On one hand, it was because Charleston called him Mr. Handley. That meant Charleston already knew that Tom Schmid was actually Shaun Handley.

On the other hand, he was surprised that Charleston managed to correctly deduce his origins.

Tom laughed. “Mr. Steele is indeed impressive. That’s right, I’m from New Orleans.”

Charleston was a little surprised that Shaun would admit it so quickly. “Mr. Handley, aren’t you afraid that I’ll record your admission?”

If Charleston was recording their current conversation and handed the recording to the Rong and Geng families, the Handley family would be in deep trouble.

Shaun smiled. “Mr. Steele has always been open and aboveboard. You wouldn’t do such a sneaky thing. On the other hand, your descendants are unscrupulous, especially your grandson, Jordan. He cursed me the moment he saw me. He’s detestable!”

Charleston said, “Mr. Handley, you seem to know the Steele family very well? Did you also consider controlling my family back then and making us your puppets?”

Ever since Charleston knew that Shaun was controlling the Schmid family, he had thought of this question.

Like the Steeles, the Handley family was from the US. The Steeles should be their first choice if they wanted to take over one of the eight great families! As both families were Americans, it would be easier to copy their ways.

As a result, Charleston concluded that Shaun had definitely considered targeting the Steeles in the past.

Shaun smiled but did not answer.

Of course, the Handley family had designs on the Steeles!

However, Charleston was no ordinary person. The Handley family’s sorcery abilities were not as developed back then. They would not have been able to fool Charleston at all.

Charleston suddenly asked, “Are you responsible for my third son’s death?”

Shaun’s expression immediately changed. He hurriedly said, “Oh, oh, oh, Mr. Steele, your imagination is too much. I only admitted that I am from New Orleans, and you are suddenly pinning your son’s death on me? Cut the crap. I believe you know very well why I’m here today. The great meeting can’t be held in my castle. The secret families can’t come to Switzerland. Mr. Steele, you and the Park family already know of the Handleys and the secret of the Schmid family. You should be like the Park family and remain silent. This will be beneficial to everyone!”

Charleston snorted. “Are you threatening me? Hmph, do you think the Steeles will be afraid of a rat like you, who scurries in the dark?!”

The words “scurries in the dark” were a huge blow to Shaun. It was even more provocative than Jordan’s colorful vulgarities. After all, Shaun was controlling Tom and using his body to talk to Charleston.

Meanwhile, the real Shaun was currently hiding in a dark corner. He was truly hiding in the dark and could not face the Steele family directly.

Currently, Shaun was researching a technique similar to “possession”. He could directly move his mind to a new body. Once the research was successful, Shaun would no longer need to hide in the dark.

However, this technique was too heaven-defying. Without the help of a D, it was very difficult to have a breakthrough.

This was why Shaun did not kill Jordan. Jordan might be a new Deity who could help him advance his technique.

After Shaun’s anger subsided, he chuckled. “Mr. Steele is a smart person. You are so much wiser and more experienced than me in the ways of the world. I wouldn’t dare to offer you advice on how to

protect yourself. I know why you’re doing this. Actually, you’re not doing it for Lota at all. You’re doing it for your grandson, aren’t you!”

Charleston narrowed his eyes. He was nearly 80 years old and was a sly old fox.

On the surface, he appeared very noble, daring to go against the Handley family for the sake of an outsider like Lota.

In reality, Charleston was doing this for his grandson, Jordan.

Shaun said, “You believe that your precious grandson killed someone from my family so I definitely won’t let him off. Therefore, you are striking first. Since our two families will never reconcile, you want to join forces with the other families to get rid of me first?”

Charleston didn’t answer. He was silent for a moment before saying, “Mr. Handley is indeed impressive. No wonder you could climb to your current position from a place like New Orleans. I’m impressed!”

In Shaun’s opinion, Charleston was even more impressive. He could actually guess that Shaun came from New Orleans.

Shaun said, “Your grandson killed my mother. However, I have no intention of killing Jordan.”

Charleston did not believe him. “The murder of a parent is a major grudge. Do you think I’m a fool who can be easily deceived?!”

Shaun smiled. “I admire Mr. Steele so much, would I dare to underestimate you? Would I dare to lie? With your cunning and experience, which lie can escape your eyes? Didn’t Jordan tell you how my mother died?”

Charleston was indeed a veteran when it came to judging people. He was the one who had taught Jordan everything he knew.

Looking at Shaun’s expression, he didn’t seem to be lying.

Charleston said, “Jordan only told me that he killed an old woman in your castle. He didn’t elaborate on how she died.”

Shaun smiled. “Hehe, is that so? It seems that Jordan doesn’t even trust his own grandfather!”

Chapter 662

Charleston immediately became angry. “B*stard! What do you mean by that? Are you trying to sow discord between us?”

Shaun smiled. “Mr. Steele, don’t be angry. I’m just saying what I think! That day, when I returned home and checked the surveillance cameras, I realized that although Jordan caused my mother’s death, he didn’t do it on purpose.

“My mother wanted to control his mind, but she suffered a backlash. Her body was already quite weak, so she died. For this reason, I can forgive Jordan and not make a fuss about him causing my mother’s death. But in return, you have to stop your plan to use the other families to deal with me. Tomorrow, you have to take back what you said at today’s meeting! Deal?”

Charleston considered this proposal very carefully.

Jordan did not purposely murder Shaun’s mother. She was killed by the backlash from trying to take over Jordan’s mind. As such, Jordan could not be held responsible.

As long as Charleston turned a blind eye to the matter between the Handley and Schmid families, the Steeles and Handleys would stay out of each other’s way. It was a good thing for everyone.

Charleston thought for a moment. “Alright then, tomorrow, I will take back my suggestion to hold next year’s meeting in your castle!”

Shaun smiled. “Very good. I knew you were a smart person. It’s getting late. I should go.”

Having achieved his goal, Shaun stood up to leave.

Charleston suddenly felt a little guilty. He quickly said, “Mr. Handley! There’s one more thing. I hope you can let Lota off! Don’t hurt her!”

Shaun turned and gave a strange smile. “Hehe, I watched Lota grow up. I love her more than anyone else. You should take care of your own family. You don’t have to worry about mine! Goodbye!”

With that, Shaun turned and left.

Charleston couldn’t help clenching his fists. Shaun was really arrogant to dare to speak to him like this! From his words, it was clear that it was only a matter of time before Shaun snatched this girl away.

After Shaun left, Jordan returned with Lota, holding her cold hand.

Jordan asked, “Grandpa, how was it?”

Charleston said slowly, “He admitted that he is Shaun Handley! But how did he manage to control Tom Schmid? If he can ‘possess’ us, then everyone from the secret families would have already become his puppets. He shouldn’t have reached that level yet.”

Jordan nodded. “I believe it has something to do with the accessories that Tom is wearing. Grandpa, did you notice that Tom and his wife have a lot of accessories on them, especially on their necks, ears and hands? Moreover, they look like ancient tribal accessories. They’re made of stones, beads and so on. They’re not Chanel or diamonds.”

Charleston nodded. “That’s right. The Handleys are from New Orleans and that place is well-known for the occult. Looks like the Handleys gave those accessories to Tom and his wife. Jordan, you have to be careful when you go out in the future. Don’t let strangers get close to you. Otherwise, if the Handleys managed to place those accessories on you, you might be controlled by them!” novelbin

Jordan said, “I will, Grandpa.”

Charleston sighed and looked at the pallid-looking Lota.

“Lota, I have to apologize to you. I promised you that I would get the other families to go to Switzerland together next year to help save your parents. However, I have to go back on my word now. I have to rescind my proposal at tomorrow’s meeting.”

Lota immediately felt despair. “You don’t plan to help me?”

Jordan was also very agitated. “Grandpa, why do you have to rescind it? Why did you agree to that b*stard’s demands? Did he threaten you?”

Charleston sighed and did not answer. How to tell them that he had done so in exchange for Jordan’s safety?

However, moments after her question, Lota was very sensible. She said softly, “I understand. Mr. Handley is so powerful. You don’t have to offend them for an outsider like me. You have already done a lot for me, I’m very grateful. I’m very tired. I’m sorry. I’ll go back to my room and rest first.”

Jordan had never seen Lota in such despair before. He couldn’t bear it!

Jordan followed Lota to her room.

He took Lota’s hand and explained, “Lota, trust me. We’re not going to leave you in the lurch. We’re not the kind of people who would only protect ourselves and not care about others.”

Lota no longer had the strength to talk to Jordan about this. She took off her coat and shoes and climbed onto the bed to sleep.

But Jordan hugged her from behind!

Although Jordan was used to jostling around with her in a brotherly manner, he had never dared to hug her so intimately. He knew that if he hugged her like this, he would definitely be tempted. After all, he was a normal man and Lota’s figure was just too good.

Jordan didn’t want to take advantage of her. He just wanted to hug her to show how much he cared about her!

He cared about her as a family member!

He was not afraid of getting into trouble!

Jordan pressed his left cheek against Lota’s right cheek. “Lota, believe me. I promised you that I would save your parents from Shaun and let you reunite with them. I will keep my word! I don’t care what my grandfather thinks. I will never disappoint you!”

Lota’s tears flowed again.

“Thank you, Jordan…”

Lota threw herself into Jordan’s arms.

Jordan gently coaxed her to sleep before he went to find his grandfather.

Jordan was a little unhappy. “Grandpa, why did you agree to Shaun’s request? We already promised to help Lota!”

Charleston took a sip of his tea. “First, tell me how Shaun’s mother died.”

“Huh?”

Jordan was momentarily stunned. He had indeed hidden the truth about Shaun’s mother’s death when he reported the incident to his grandfather. As it involved the Deity, something that could affect the entire world, Jordan did not dare to casually reveal everything.

Charleston said, “Just now, Shaun told me that his mother died due to a backlash. You didn’t purposely kill her. Why did you hide this from me? Don’t you trust me?”

Jordan hurriedly lowered his head and said respectfully, “I wouldn’t dare! This matter… is too… strange. I don’t know if it’s true or not. I was afraid of making you worry, so I didn’t say anything.”

Charleston said anxiously, “Don’t worry about that. Tell me what happened between you and Shaun’s mother in the castle that day!”

Chapter 663

Jordan told his grandfather everything that happened that night.

Charleston was shocked. “What did you say? Shaun’s mother said that you’re a Deity?!”

The reason why the eight great families could stand above the world was because of the Deity’s help. Ever since the death of the Deity, the eight great families had been wondering if a second Deity would appear.

A second person who could predict the future!

And now, Charleston found out that his grandson could be that person!

Charleston was so agitated that he couldn’t speak and he started coughing.

“Grandpa, don’t get so excited. That old woman is an evil witch. You can’t believe what she says.”

Jordan hurriedly supported Charleston and patted his back.

But Charleston couldn’t help feeling excited!

Because the truth of this matter concerned the future of the Steele family!

Charleston knew that he did not have much time left. He was worried that after he passed on, the other families would target his descendants! novelbin

If Jordan was a Deity, the Steeles would become the head of the secret families and the ultimate ruler of the entire world!

Charleston shook his head. “No, although that old woman practices evil techniques, I believe her judgment of you is true! You said you saw images of her death in your mind before she died. That means you have powers of prediction! Moreover, she tried to control you with her evil techniques, but

she just ended up suffering a backlash. This also means that your body is not ordinary! I remember that the first Deity dreamed of the future in her sleep. Child, tell me. Have you ever dreamed of things that eventually came true?”

Jordan shook his head. “No.”

Charleston probed. “Are you sure? You have to think about it carefully! This concerns your life! And the fate of the Steele family!”

Jordan paused for a moment before continuing. “I don’t have any at the moment. However, I’ve been having two recurring dreams in the past year.”

“Oh? What dreams? Tell me now.” Charleston was very impatient.

Jordan told him. “The first is of Hailey and I having our wedding on a beach. As you know, when I married Hailey back then, I didn’t have money to hold a wedding. The Camdens felt the marriage was an embarrassment so they didn’t offer to hold one for us either. So the dream is not a memory, we never had a wedding. The second dream is of Victoria getting shot and bleeding a lot. She was about to die.”

Charleston frowned as he thought about those two dreams. “Those are not good dreams for you.”

Of these two dreams, one was of him marrying his ex-wife again. Hailey, that bad woman who betrayed Jordan three times in the past. No one would marry such a woman again.

Moreover, Jordan had two beautiful and virtuous wives now.

The other dream was an utter nightmare for Jordan. Victoria was one of the two women he loved the most!

Jordan sighed. “That’s right. That’s why I’ve been very conflicted recently. I hope that these two dreams will come true to prove that I’m a Deity and have the ability to predict the future. But at the same time, I don’t want them to become reality. I can’t bear either outcome.”

Charleston understood Jordan’s dilemma. He patted Jordan’s shoulder. “Child, don’t think too much about it. Sometimes, fate will decide everything. If the heavens really arranged for you to be the new Deity, you won’t be able to escape even if you wanted to.”

Jordan nodded. “I’m not thinking too much about this now. What I want to do now is to rescue Lota’s parents. Grandpa, I respect your choice. However, even if I have to do it alone, I will continue fighting the Handley family. I can’t just stand by and watch that b*stard Shaun control Lota’s parents!”

Charleston was gratified to see how loyal Jordan was. He knew that this child was even kinder and more righteous than him.

“Jordan, I support you. Shaun’s methods are too sinister. I originally wanted to keep a respectful distance from such a person and not provoke him. However, now that he knows that you might be a Deity, even if his mother’s death has nothing to do with you, he will not let you off!”

Overjoyed, Jordan hurriedly asked, “So Grandpa, you won’t rescind your proposal tomorrow?”

Charleston shook his head. “Since I’ve promised Shaun, I’ll do as he says. We can think of another way. Didn’t you speculate that they are controlling the Schmids through those accessories? We just have to think of a way to remove these accessories from their bodies!”

Jordan was in full agreement!

As long as he could remove those accessories that could control the human brain, Tom would return to his normal self! By then, he would tell the truth to the other secret families. Together, they would

definitely be able to defeat the Handleys!

With the current technology level of the eight great families, no matter how powerful the Handleys were, they would be able to overcome them!

However, Charleston was worried. “Shaun is a very cunning person. Moreover, they are pretty powerful and their techniques are bizarre. Just like what you saw previously, they can kill someone just by using a cat. Even for you and Dragon, it will probably be very difficult for you two to get close to them and take off those accessories!”

Jordan nodded. Although he hated Shaun, he had to admit that this fellow’s strength was unfathomable!

At the very least, Jordan was no match for him!

As Jordan started to think of a solution, he paced back and forth in the room.

His mind raced. For Lota’s sake, Jordan had to think of a way to remove the accessories on Tom!

After thinking for a long time, Jordan said slowly, “Shaun is sinister and cunning. I’m afraid we have not yet seen everything he’s capable of. We have no chance of winning against him. Besides, we only have one chance to retrieve the accessories. If we don’t succeed the first time and they realize what we want to do, he will flee immediately.”

Charleston sighed. “Yes, you are right. I’ve thought about it for a long time, but I can’t think of a solution. Poor Lota. It looks like she won’t be able to reunite with her parents.”

Jordan suddenly said, “No, Grandpa, I have an idea.”

Charleston was puzzled. “Didn’t you just say that we have no chance of winning?”

Jordan smiled. “We have no chance of winning if we try to remove the accessories while Tom is still alive. But we can kill them first!”

Chapter 664

Charleston was speechless.

Had he heard wrongly?

Kill the Schmids?

Their ultimate goal was to save the Schmids!

Of course, they could easily remove their accessories after they were dead. But wasn’t this putting the cart before the horse?

“Child, don’t be too hasty. The Schmids might become your in-laws in the future. Don’t mess around…” Charleston said.

Jordan smiled. “Grandpa, I know what I’m talking about. The last time I went to the capital, I found Doctor Zielinski from our family’s traditional medicine team. I asked him if the Steeles have any powerful traditional medicine. He told me about one. It’s called the Life-Severing Soup.”

Charleston immediately understood. “Life-Severing Soup. I know this. This soup looks sweet and delicious, but less than a minute after drinking it, it will stop the person’s heart and have him enter a state of suspended animation. If the person takes the antidote within half an hour, he will return to normal without any side effects. But if he isn’t rescued within half an hour, he will die.”

Jordan nodded. “That’s right. We can trick Tom and his wife into drinking this soup. After they enter a state of suspended animation, Shaun won’t be able to control them anymore. We can take this opportunity to take away their accessories before giving them the antidote. In this way, we can successfully save Lota’s parents!”

A smile appeared on Charleston’s face. “Yes, not bad, child. As expected of someone with the aptitude to become a Deity! Even as a child, I could tell you are a clever one. Only you can think of such a

solution! But Shaun is a cautious person. He will definitely be suspicious if we suddenly offer him some soup.”

Jordan nodded. “Grandpa, aren’t you going to be 80 soon? Why don’t we hold a party here as sort of an early celebration for your 80th birthday? We can make it a grand affair and invite the other seven families to attend. When the time comes, I’ll find a chance to drug the Schmids at the party!”

Charleston was taken aback. “Celebrate my 80th birthday here? I wonder if the other families will attend.”

In all honesty, Charleston was not confident that the other families would respect him enough to attend. Previously, the other families consistently refused Charleston’s offers to meet up for tea and the like.

Jordan snorted. “Would they dare to refuse? Apart from the Parks, the other families now view the Steeles in a different light. Grandpa, don’t worry. I’ll mention this at the meeting tomorrow. They’ll definitely be willing to attend!”

…

The next day at the great meeting, the family representatives discussed the environment and banking industry. novelbin

After the meeting ended, Tom Schmid gave Charleston a look.

Charleston said, “Everyone, yesterday, I suggested that next year’s meeting be held at the Schmid castle. I said that Tom took the initiative to propose it. I went back and thought about it. I think I recalled things wrongly. Tom never said he wanted to hold the meeting at his place. We’re all secret families. Every family has the right to their privacy. It’s indeed inappropriate to hold our meeting at his place of residence. Therefore, I suggest we choose another venue.”

Tom Schmid smiled smugly. “Mr. Steele finally remembered correctly. Thank you for your understanding. I hope everyone else can understand too.”

Park Sang-jun said, “Yesterday, I already thought that this suggestion was extremely ridiculous. I agree to another venue!”

Chairman Rong guessed that the two families must have had a private discussion about this. He said, “Alright, we’ll choose another avenue. We will let Mr. Steele decide the location.”

Jordan suddenly spoke up. “Why don’t we go to the US next year? Orlando is a wonderful city and we can play host.”

Now that the Steeles were on his side, Tom Schmid agreed. “Mr. Jordan’s suggestion is very good! Orlando is indeed a great city. I agree with Orlando!”

Park Sang-jun quickly echoed, “That’s right. I’ve been there before. I agree.”

The other families also agreed.

Chairman Rong said, “Alright, then we’ll go to Orlando next year. Jordan, since you chose the venue, you have to prepare good wine and food for us next year.”

Jordan smiled. “There’s no need to wait until next year. Tomorrow night, I will prepare the best food and wine to entertain everyone.”

Tomorrow night?

Everyone was confused.

Jordan said, “Everyone knows that my grandfather will be 80 years old soon. We must hold a grand celebration for this. Since everyone is gathered here now, I want to hold a party to celebrate my

grandfather’s 80th birthday in advance. I hope that everyone can attend!”

Geng Anli was the first to express her opinion. “I love parties. I’ll definitely dress up for it.”

Miyamoto Chujiro, who was now a loyal follower of the Steeles, hurriedly said, “The Miyamoto family will definitely attend and prepare the best gift for Mr. Steele!”

Even Tom Schmid smiled. “80 years old. Hehe, it’s indeed a milestone. We should celebrate this. My wife and I will be there.”

The other families also agreed to attend.

Only the Park family remained silent.

Charleston smiled at Park Sang-jun. “Mr. Park, you must be very busy every day. I won’t mind if you don’t come tomorrow night.”

Park Sang-jun said, “Mr. Steele, you make it sound like the Park family is heartless! No matter what, you had a good relationship with my father and you were kind to me when I was young. Don’t worry, the Park family will also attend and prepare a wonderful gift for you!”

Park Anya looked very relieved after hearing Park Sang-jun agree to attend Charleston’s birthday party.

Charleston stood up and smiled. “In that case, thank you for agreeing to attend. I’ve already booked the Kasbah Tamadot Hotel. I’ll be waiting for your arrival at 7 pm tomorrow!”

…

7 pm, at the Kasbah Tamadot Hotel.

The hotel was situated in the beautiful Atlas mountains, exuding an irresistible sense of luxury that was present throughout the entire hotel.

The seven major families arrived at the entrance of the hotel in luxury cars.

Dressed in a suit and leather shoes, Tom Schmid held his wife’s hand as they approached the entrance of the luxurious hotel.

Tom snorted in disdain. “Damn old man, you only have a few days left to live, yet you still have the mood to hold a birthday party!”

Chapter 665

The Schmids had arrived late and they were clearly not that interested in celebrating Charleston’s birthday!

The Park family also arrived late.

The Park family alighted from a luxurious Rolls-Royce. When Park Sang-jun saw the Schmids, he smiled and greeted them. “Tom, wait for me. We’ll go in together.”

Shaun turned around and saw the Park family, including Park Sang-jun, his two sons and his daughter. Shaun had already seen the Park family before, but this time, he finally noticed Park Anya and was dumbstruck by her.

Park Sang-jun and his two sons were dressed in suits and leather shoes. They looked very handsome and dashing. Meanwhile, Park Anya was also dressed to the nines. She was wearing a black gown with a plunging neckline!

This dress was very revealing. It was similar to the one Jennifer Lopez wore to the 42nd Grammy Awards ceremony.

For the great meeting, Park Anya wore a white suit that covered her entire body. No one could believe that Park Anya, a woman who was almost 40 years old, had such a devilish figure! She was not at all inferior to any sexy female celebrity!

Shaun was also stunned!

Shaun hurriedly walked forward and shook hands with Park Sang-jun. “Mr. Park, what a coincidence. We should have driven over together.”

Park Sang-jun smiled. “Looks like our families are in sync. We arrived at the same time, hahaha.”

Park Chan-young and his siblings also bowed politely. “Hello, Uncle.”

Shaun couldn’t help but size up Park Anya’s graceful figure. He didn’t try to be discreet at all. He walked up to her and said, “Miss Park Anya’s outfit today can drive any man crazy. I wonder if I can have your first dance later?”

There would be eating, drinking and dancing at Charleston’s birthday party today.

Park Anya glanced at the blonde woman beside Shaun. “If Mrs. Schmid doesn’t mind, it will be my honor.”

Mrs. Schmid smiled. “Of course I wouldn’t mind Tom dancing with such a beautiful woman.”

The Park family knew very well that the Schmids were currently being controlled by the Handley family. At first, they found it a little scary and kept their distance. However, after getting used to it, they felt that it was necessary to get closer to them and possibly learn their skills.

If the two families managed to gain control over the Rong and Geng families, wouldn’t the entire world be completely within their grasp?

Therefore, Park Sang-jun was very happy to see that “Tom Schmid” was interested in his daughter.

Soon, the two families arrived at the hotel lobby.

The moment they entered, they realized that everyone from the other families was already present. The venue was full of music and laughter.

Jesse and Jordan stood near the door to welcome the guests.

“Mr. and Mrs. Schmid, both of you are dressed so elegantly tonight. Please come in!”

Jesse invited the Schmids in.

At the same time, Jordan approached the Park family. Although Jordan hated the Park family, today was his grandfather’s birthday party. Since they deigned to show up, Jordan was well-mannered enough to welcome them with a smile.

Jordan said, “Welcome, Park family, please come in and have something to eat.”

The three Park men nodded at Jordan and walked in without saying anything.

Jordan then stopped Park Anya, who was trailing behind.

At this moment, the romantic English song “Promises Don’t Come Easy” started to play.

Jordan and Park Anya’s eyes met the moment this classic love song came on.

One was a handsome young man, while the other was an outstanding woman with an elegant aura. The two of them stood facing each other. With their stunning looks and regal aura, they were a match made in heaven.

“Hi.”

Jordan greeted Park Anya with a smile. His voice was gentle, low and magnetic.

“Hi.”

Park Anya responded softly.

Jordan couldn’t resist sizing up her gown. He was shocked. He didn’t expect Park Anya to wear this to his grandfather’s birthday banquet!

This was too… resplendent… and revealing!

Just like how a peacock spread its wings to court a mate, Park Anya must have dressed like this to attract the opposite sex!

Who was she trying to attract?

Miyamoto Masaki was now the lackey of the Steele family!

Of course she was trying to attract Jordan!

‘She must have put on this dress for me! Hehe, Madam is almost 40 years old. Why does she still look like a young girl in love? She’s really cute!’ novelbin

Jordan was overjoyed!

It was still the same for him. He didn’t really want to marry or bed Park Anya now, but he still wanted her to fall in love with him!

The last time they met, Jordan already sensed that Park Anya now recognized him as worthy of being her man.

Jordan smiled happily. “Sweetheart, your dress is so revealing. If you were my wife, I would never let you go out dressed like this. How could I bear to let other men admire my woman’s good figure?”

Park Anya flipped her long beautiful hair and said nonchalantly, “I’m not your wife, so you don’t have the right to dictate my outfits.”

Jordan was momentarily taken aback. Why was Park Anya speaking to him in such a remote manner? It was as if she was deliberately distancing herself from him!

“Anya…”

Jordan wanted to say something else.

However, Park Anya, who was carrying an exclusive LV bag, cut in, “Excuse me.”

With that, she walked in.

Miyamoto Chujiro saw the Park family coming over and immediately said, “Park Sang-jun, you’re so late. We’ve already finished a round of drinks! You said you would bring a wonderful gift for Mr. Steele. I wonder what it is?”

At this moment, there were already a lot of gift boxes in front of Charleston. Every gift box was probably worth millions!

Park Sang-jun knew that their gifts to Charleston would be a display of the family’s strength. The other families would also look down on you if your gift was too lousy.

The gifts given by the eight great families were completely different from those given by other wealthy families.

Usually, one would be able to tell at a glance how valuable a gift was.

For example, those famous branded luxury goods.

However, each of the eight great families had limitless assets. Branded luxury goods were nothing to them and it would be considered vulgar to give them as gifts.

Park Sang-jun shot Park Chan-young a look. Park Chan-young immediately walked up to Charleston with a gift box. He opened it in front of Charleston.

There were four golden dragons inside the gift box!

Park Sang-jun said, “In ancient mythology, there were four dragon kings who ruled the seas. Our gift to you is the Four Sea Dragon Kings!”
