Chapter 681
Brad took out his phone and showed Jordan a picture. In the picture, Victoria was standing in front of a man who had collapsed on the road. A fallen bike lay nearby.
“After Victoria left the villa, she crashed into a motorcyclist and killed him.”
“What? Victoria killed someone?!”
Jordan was feeling a little flustered. It would be very difficult to cover up something like that in the capital.
“The Handleys turned Victoria into a murderer!”
Jordan clenched his fists in anger. Those evil demons were indeed despicable!
“Where is Victoria now? The police station?” Jordan asked.
Brad said, “No, after she killed the motorcyclist, she got into a Mercedes-Benz sedan. I’ve already asked my men to check the license plate of that car. They reported that the car belongs to Russell Miller.”
Russell Miller!
Jordan did not expect Russell to be dragged into this matter.
Brad said, “I received news that Russell is using his connections to help Victoria settle this matter. I guess with his ability, he should be able to suppress this matter for the time being. However, it’s hard to say if he can completely cover it up. After all, there were too many witnesses.”
Lauren chimed in. “Luckily Victoria encountered Russell at the crime scene and he helped to suppress the matter in time. Otherwise, things would become very troublesome.”
However, Jordan’s mind was now full of troubling thoughts!
It was naturally a good thing that Victoria encountered Russell at that time! However, the person with Russell now was not Victoria!
“Hubby, what are you thinking about?” Lauren could tell that something was wrong with Jordan.
Jordan was troubled by a nagging question.
Who was the one controlling Victoria’s body?
Was it Shaun or his wife?
‘It’s fine if it’s Shaun. He’s a man and wouldn’t do anything with Russell. However, if it’s Shaun’s wife who’s controlling Victoria and this woman doesn’t reject Russell, the consequences would be…’
Jordan did not dare to imagine the consequences!
Jordan hurriedly asked Lauren, “Did you manage to speak with Victoria just now?”
Lauren nodded. “We exchanged a few words.”
Jordan asked, “Did she behave more like a man or more like a woman?”
A woman’s intuition was very accurate, especially for a smart woman like Lauren.
Lauren recalled the scene just now and said, “I think she behaved more like a woman. The way she looked at me and spoke to me was quite feminine. Her gestures were not like a man’s at all.”
Brad added, “I also think that the person possessing Victoria is a woman. She was wearing high heels at that time but she could still run very quickly. It’s obvious that she is a woman who is used to wearing high heels.”
“Oh no!”
Hearing their deductions, Jordan fell into a deeper panic!
It would be fine if it was Shaun. Shaun was a straight man and it would be impossible for him to kiss an old man like Russell. Even if it was via Victoria’s body, he would still find it disgusting.
However, if it was Shaun’s wife, something very bad might happen!
From what Jordan understood about Shaun and his wife, he realized that they were not the kind of couple who would be satisfied spending their entire lives together. Otherwise, Shaun’s wife would not have allowed him to “groom” Lota.
Therefore, it was not impossible for Shaun’s wife to have an affair with another man. Furthermore, she was using Victoria’s body so it would not be considered an actual affair.
“No, no, I can’t let this happen!”
Jordan absolutely could not accept Victoria having sex with Russell!
Victoria was Jordan’s wife now! Although they had not held an official wedding, the two of them were already husband and wife. Victoria and Lauren were both Jordan’s wives!
“Russell, you old dog. If you dare to touch Victoria, I’ll castrate you!”
Jordan hurriedly took out his phone and opened his contact list. He found Russell’s number and called him!
…
Meanwhile, in Russell’s private villa in the capital.
Russell looked at “Victoria” in surprise. “Victoria, are… are you… you… sure?”
Clara smiled charmingly. “Of course.”
However, Russell still didn’t dare to make any rash moves. “What… what happened between you and Jordan?”
It was no secret that Russell wanted Victoria. When they were together, Russell would have immediately pounced on Victoria by now.
But now, Russell didn’t dare to act recklessly!
Clara was a little impatient. “Jordan and I are finished. He’s a b*stard. I don’t love him anymore. Now, I just want to be with you… come, let me make it up to you.”
Clara extended Victoria’s slender hand toward Russell. However, Russell took a step back and dodged her hand.
“No, we can’t!”
Russell sighed as he retreated.
Clara was very annoyed. “Why not?”
Russell said, “You’re Jordan’s wife together with Lauren, who is the daughter of Mr. Howard. Unless there is an official public announcement that you and Jordan are through, I don’t dare to touch you!”
Clara scolded, “Russell, you good-for-nothing. You don’t even dare to kiss the woman you like. You have to bow down to Jordan and the Howard family? How could I have fallen in love with a piece of trash like you!”
What on earth was wrong with the man? Clara was very annoyed. She felt that Russell was just an old man and he should be honored that she wanted him now. How dare he reject her?
Clara had the face and figure of a goddess now. It was just a matter of time before she found herself a young and handsome hunk! If not for the fact that sleeping with Russell would thoroughly infuriate Jordan, Clara wouldn’t bother about an old man like Russell.
Russell didn’t say anything. “I’ll call and ask how your matter is progressing.”
With that, Russell went to the washroom to wash his face and calm down.
“What happened to Victoria? I thought she doesn’t love me anymore? Why is she suddenly…”
Ring ring ring.
Russell’s phone rang.
“Hello.”
“I’m Jordan! Russell, did you touch Victoria?!”
The first thing Jordan asked was whether Russell and Victoria had physical contact.
Russell was stunned. How did Jordan guess that something might happen between him and Victoria?
Russell quickly denied it. “I didn’t! She’s your wife. Why would I touch her?!”
Jordan persisted. “Do you swear?” novelbin
Russell confirmed. “I swear! But Victoria is behaving very strangely. She just killed someone in a car accident and isn’t nervous at all. She’s in my villa now. Come over. My location is…”
“Say no more. I’ll be there soon!”
Chapter 682
Jordan hung up the phone, leaving Russell dumbfounded.
How would he know that Jordan had very advanced tracking technology, such that he already knew Russell’s location the moment he picked up his call?
Soon enough, Jordan arrived at Russell’s villa. Russell was also very smart. He specially unlocked the doors so that Jordan could enter.
Bang!
Jordan charged in with Salvatore and the others.
“Jordan?”
When Clara saw that it was Jordan, she immediately threw herself into Russell’s arms to provoke him.
She even said sweetly, “Hubby, why are you only here now? I already did it with Russell just now. You know that we’re old lovers. I’m sorry for cheating on you. Will you forgive me?”
Although he knew that Shaun’s wife was controlling Victoria’s body, Jordan was still very upset by the sight of Victoria acting this way and saying those words!
It was as if Victoria had said those things herself!
Jordan clenched his fists and his face turned red. He wanted to kill someone!
Salvatore and the others were dumbstruck. “Victoria” cheated on their master?
Did she want to become the second Hailey?
“Russell!” Jordan roared as he stared at him.
Russell trembled in fear. “Jordan! Don’t listen to Victoria’s nonsense. We didn’t do anything at all! I swear, I didn’t even touch her hand!”
“Victoria” held Russell’s arm flirtatiously. “Russell, why don’t you dare to admit it? You even praised my beauty and figure just now.”
“Enough!” Jordan shouted as he glared at Victoria. “Who are you?! Are you Shaun’s wife?”
Russell was bewildered as he looked at Victoria. Jordan spoke as if this person wasn’t the real Victoria? Was this person someone else?
Clara snorted and smiled. “You’re quite smart. Jordan, you’re right. I’m Shaun’s wife, Clara!”
Russell looked at Victoria in a daze. He didn’t know why Victoria was claiming that her name was Clara.
“Jordan, Victoria, what… what’s going on?” Russell couldn’t help asking.
Jordan glanced at him. Russell was the richest man in Houston. But even if he was the richest man in the entire US, he was not qualified to know about the matters of the eight great families.
Jordan instructed Salvatore. “Bring Russell out and give him this medicine. Then, ask him if he took advantage of Victoria. If he did, kill him!”
“Yes!”
Salvatore immediately went up to take Russell away.
Russell shouted, “I didn’t! I swear, I didn’t even touch Victoria’s hand!”
After Russell was brought out, only Jordan and Clara were left in the villa.
Clara teased, “Why do you have to kill him? Russell treats Victoria quite well. Why? Are you jealous? Can’t stand the thought of your wife cheating on you? I heard that your ex-wife, Hailey, cheated on you before. You should be very experienced in this aspect, haha.”
Jordan was furious. “Clara, come at me if you dare. Why target my wife!”
Clara snorted. “Jordan, you forced us to leave Switzerland which had been our home for ten years. We worked so hard to bring the Schmid family under our control, but you ruined that for us! You deserve to die! If you weren’t still useful to us, I would have killed you long ago!”
Jordan said, “Pfft! How shameless! You still have the cheek to say such things. Is Switzerland really your home? You occupied someone else’s home and controlled the Schmid family. You have no shame. You should have been kicked out of Switzerland long ago! Now, I order you to let Victoria go. If you do so, I can spare your life. Otherwise, I guarantee that you won’t be able to leave the capital alive!”
Jordan saw that Victoria had many ancient accessories on her. Clara must have personally come over to the capital to place them on her.
Clara was definitely in the capital now!
“Hahaha…” Clara laughed loudly. “Rascal, I have complete control over your wife, yet you still dare to bargain with me! I’ve already made Victoria a murderer. Even if I let her off now, she’s destined to be jailed for the rest of her life!”
Jordan clenched his fists in anger.
This woman was too hateful! novelbin
Rushing over, Jordan tried to take off Victoria’s accessories forcefully.
However, Clara suddenly took out a gun!
It was not aimed at Jordan, but herself. To be precise, it was aimed at Victoria’s body!
“Don’t come over! If you dare to come over, I’ll kill Victoria!” Clara pointed the gun at herself and threatened Jordan.
Jordan stopped in his tracks, not daring to take another step forward.
He suddenly remembered his recurring dream. Victoria had been shot and was covered in blood, on the verge of death.
If Jordan was a Deity, then this dream would become reality!
Jordan hurriedly said, “I won’t go near you. I won’t move! Don’t hurt Victoria! Please! If you want revenge, you can hit me! Don’t hurt her!”
Seeing that Jordan had become so nervous, Clara smiled and said, “Hehe, I didn’t expect a mere mortal woman like Victoria to mean so much to a future Deity. You will be very sad if Victoria dies, right?”
“Today, I want to see you lose the woman you love!”
With that, Clara pointed the gun at herself to shoot Victoria.
“No!” Jordan was extremely terrified. He had never been so terrified in his life! “Mrs. Handley! I can help you! I’m a Deity! I can help you do anything you want!”
Since Clara had said that Jordan was useful to her and Shaun, Jordan could guess what they were plotting.
As expected, Clara stopped. “You? Hmph, even if you’re a Deity, your abilities haven’t been fully activated yet. How can you help us?”
Jordan said, “I can. I’ve researched a method that can predict the development of various industries. Tell me what you want to do. I’ll definitely be able to predict their future development and help you achieve your goals!”
Of course, Jordan was lying.
Clara was from a poor town and didn’t study much. She said happily, “Really? Can you really help us have a technological breakthrough?”
Jordan nodded. “Yes. As long as you don’t hurt Victoria, I can help you do anything!”
Clara was overjoyed. “Shaun has been thinking about the mind-exchange surgery. He would be very pleased if we could have a breakthrough for this technology!”
Mind-exchange surgery!
Jordan shuddered when he heard this!
To think that Shaun had been developing such a terrifying procedure!
Chapter 683
Mind-transplant!
By swapping minds, one could completely take over the other person!
It was similar to “possession”!
Shaun and his wife definitely needed this technology. All along, they had only been able to control Tom and his wife remotely. They were unable to completely replace them. Like this, Shaun and Clara could only hide in a dark corner and were unable to personally attend the great meetings. They were like rats who couldn’t appear in broad daylight.
However, if the mind-transplant procedure was successful, they could exchange their minds with the Schmids and completely replace them!
Jordan couldn’t help but think of the movie “Get Out”.
It was about a white man taking a fancy to a black man’s body. Using this kind of technology, he possessed the black man’s body and started a new life.
Shaun was going to turn the premise of this fictional film into reality!
Clara believed Jordan. She took out her phone and said to him, “Turn on your Bluetooth. I’ll send you our current progress of the mind-transplant procedure.”
Taking out his phone, Jordan soon received a large number of medical documents.
Clara asked, “How long will it take for a breakthrough?”
Jordan looked at the various documents and panicked. He could not understand all those medical terms at all!
Collecting himself, he said, “I think it will take three days. Although I have the ability to predict, I am no expert in the medical field. I will need to do this with my family’s medical team.”
Although Jordan did not understand the medical terms, he was delighted! These medical documents on the mind-transplant procedure were the result of decades of research by Shaun. They were priceless!
These documents would definitely be very useful to the Steeles’ medical department!
Clara said, “Sure, do it as soon as possible. I don’t care even if your family also obtains this technology. I only care that our goals can be achieved.”
“Okay.”
Jordan did not say anything else and immediately started to work on it.
Clara went upstairs. novelbin
Soon, several hours passed and the sky gradually darkened. It was already 10 PM. After Clara finished her dinner, she changed her clothes and came down.
Jordan was stunned when he saw her.
Clara had changed into a short mink velvet dress, revealing her legs and shoulders. It was a very sexy outfit, completely revealing Victoria’s good figure.
‘F*ck, why is Clara dressed so provocatively? Is she trying to seduce me? Damn it! Although it’s Victoria’s body, when I think about how the person controlling her body is a vicious woman, I completely lose interest!’
Jordan was having those thoughts.
However, Jordan was not Clara’s target. She sashayed to the door in her sexy get-up.
Jordan immediately stopped her. “It’s so late. Where are you going?”
Clara turned around with an annoyed expression, “Just do your job. Do I have to report to you where I go? Who do you think you are? You’re just my tool!”
Jordan did not back down. “I’m your husband! I have the responsibility to ask my wife where she’s going and what she’s doing!”
Clara laughed. “Take a guess? I’m dressed so sexily and it’s late at night. Where do you think I’m going? Hehe.”
Jordan could tell that Clara was up to no good. “Clara! What are you planning to do?! Don’t forget that you have a husband! If you betray Shaun, I will definitely tell him! He will kill you!”
Clara smiled. “Jordan, I don’t think you know much about my relationship with Shaun. We are indeed husband and wife, but we grew up in the same village and our families are interlinked. We got married for practical reasons, not for love. I can accept Shaun with Lota, and he also accepts me going out to bars to have fun.”
Jordan was shocked. “You’re going to a bar?”
Clara played with Victoria’s beautiful long hair. “That’s right. Unlike Victoria, I’ve never been pursued by men. I also want to know what it’s like to be a goddess. Tonight, there will definitely be many men wooing me. I will choose one I like and spend the night with him.”
“How dare you! Clara, you’re courting death!”
Jordan was furious and immediately rushed over.
However, Clara instantly took out her gun and aimed it at Victoria. “If you take another step forward, I’ll shoot Victoria!”
What choice did he have? Jordan had to retreat.
Clara said sternly, “Jordan, don’t keep challenging me like this! If you don’t want Victoria to die, behave yourself! As long as you give me a breakthrough in the mind-transplant procedure, I guarantee that Victoria will be safe and sound. I can give her a good time too! Hahaha, Jordan, I wonder if you’ll still be with her after I use her body to sleep with other men?”
Jordan clenched his fists. He wanted to kill Clara. He wanted to tear off all the accessories on Victoria’s body and smash them!
However, he didn’t dare to take the risk. The scene of Victoria being shot kept appearing in his mind.
“Also, tell your subordinates not to follow me. If I find anyone following me, I’ll cut off one of Victoria’s fingers! She’s your wife after all. If you can bear to see her fingers cut off, go ahead!”
With that, Clara opened the door and walked out.
Jordan was furious. “Clara, you vicious woman, I will definitely kill you!!”
For Victoria’s safety, Jordan did not let anyone follow Clara. He had no way to interfere with her actions. And Jordan knew very well what Clara planned to do. She wanted to use Victoria’s body to go to a bar and have sex!
Actually, bars and nightclubs were just a place for most people to have fun. People didn’t necessarily go to such places for one-night-stands. However, for a good-looking woman like Victoria, things were different! With her looks, she would definitely be harassed by countless men at the bar!
“Victoria…”
Triggered by Clara’s earlier words, Jordan couldn’t help wondering what he would do if Victoria ended up having sex with other men.
Would Jordan still want to be with Victoria?
Of course Jordan wouldn’t abandon Victoria just because of this!
However, Jordan was worried that Victoria would feel that she was already tainted after she woke up, and take the initiative to leave him!
“No, I can’t let that happen!”
Chapter 685
Clara was dumbstruck. When she first arrived on this street, all the bars were brightly lit, and there were clusters of handsome men and beautiful women!
Why were all the bars closed now?
Many young men and women were streaming out onto the street, discussing the situation.
“I’ve been in the capital for so many years, but this is the first time I’ve encountered something like this. Why did all the bars close?”
“It must be a big shot. I heard from my uncle in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that a big shot from overseas is here.”
“Is that so? Which country is he from? Did he come here to play? Why did they seal off the nightclubs?”
“What? Don’t listen to his nonsense. He’s not from overseas. He’s a big shot in the country.”
“Hey, do you know or not?”
“…”
The commoners were all very curious about this kind of thing. Although they didn’t know which big shot had come, they were very sure that only a big shot could make all the nightclubs in the capital close at the same time.
Clara sighed. “How unlucky. The capital is so troublesome! But I don’t have to go to a nightclub to find a man.”
It was getting late and Clara had not eaten anything yet. She planned to have some supper and find a man. Luckily, there was no lack of 24-hour diners in the capital. Popular ones included IHOP, DC Diner
and Duplex Diner.
Hailing down a cab, Clara took a taxi to a few nearby places. However, after walking around, all the eateries were closed, just like the bars!
The taxi driver said, “Beauty, if you want to find a place to eat tonight, it will be very difficult. Didn’t you hear? A big shot has come to the capital. He ordered all the night entertainment venues to be closed. Nightclubs, bars and restaurants! I am not even going to bother driving around tonight. After I send you off, I’ll go home and sleep.”
Clara narrowed her eyes in displeasure.
“What big shot? It must be Jordan!”
Previously, Clara was not too sure if Jordan had passed down the order to do this. But now, she was very sure! This brat really knows how to play games with me!”
Just now, Clara had warned Jordan that if he dared to send someone to follow her, she would cut off Victoria’s finger.
Therefore, Jordan did not send anyone to follow her. Instead, he closed all the entertainment venues in the capital. ‘You want to have a fling? Hehe, sorry. All the night entertainment venues are closed. Everyone has gone home to sleep. Let’s see how you manage to find a guy to have a fling!
‘Damn it, he’s from a secret family and should be very low-profile. How did he get so much power in the capital? I’ve underestimated him! But the more you don’t want Victoria to cheat on you, the more I want to make her do it!”
Clara looked at the taxi driver in front!
Ever since she got into the taxi, the driver had been peeping at her through the rearview mirror. Clara was certain that she would definitely be successful if she tried to hook up with him.
“No, he’s too ugly!”
Clara shook her head. This taxi driver was a middle-aged, greasy-looking man. He was old, fat and ugly. Even an ugly woman like Clara didn’t fancy him!
“I’m such a beautiful woman now. I have to find someone good-looking!”
Although Clara was ugly, she valued good looks.
“Driver, bring me to the nearest five-star hotel!” Clara instructed.
The driver soon brought Clara to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. This hotel was located in a very prosperous area. The main building was made of copper and was very eye-catching.
One could imagine that the guests staying here were either rich or nobility.
Clara was now a fair, rich and beautiful woman. Naturally, she had to find a tall, rich and handsome man to match her. She was not here to rest but to find a man.
“Hmph, Jordan, since you’ve closed all the night entertainment venues, I’ll go straight to the hotel to find a man!”
Clara was targeting the guests staying in this hotel. In this world, Clara was probably the first person to look for a one-night stand in the lobby of a five-star hotel.
Perched on the sofa in the hotel lobby, she looked at the guests. There were single men, but none of them caught Clara’s eye. Meanwhile, those she liked all had female companions.
Nevertheless, Clara did not care about that. As long as she liked someone, she did not care if that man had a partner.
A middle-aged man who looked like a celebrity led a middle-aged woman to the hotel counter.
Clara felt that this man was not bad. He had a good aura. Although there was already a little white hair at his temples, he gave off a mature and masculine aura. He behaved in a very gentlemanly manner. When he looked at the woman beside him, his eyes were filled with love.
After deciding that he was the one, Clara approached the man. “Hey, do you want to sleep with me tonight?” novelbin
The man was momentarily stunned. He sized up Victoria’s figure and gulped. But then he said vehemently, “What are you talking about! This is my wife! I have a wife! What kind of person are you? Are you crazy? Darling, ignore her. Let’s go!”
The man immediately rejected Clara. He then grabbed his wife’s hand and went into the elevator.
But 10 minutes later, this man returned to the first floor of the hotel and found Clara again. He leaned down and smiled awkwardly. “Beauty, I’m sorry. My wife was present just now, so I had no choice but to reject you. How about this? I’ll get you a room here. Wait for me in the room. I can go over and find you at about… two in the morning. How about that?”
Clara snorted in disdain. She thought that he rejected her just now because he was a good man who loved his wife. But he was just acting in front of his wife!
Smack!
Clara slapped the middle-aged man’s face. “You disgust me. Get lost!”
Clara hated this kind of hypocritical man. Although his appearance met her requirements, his character was really disgusting.
The middle-aged man held his face and said, “You were the one who approached me even though there was clearly a woman with me. But you slapped me? Seriously, what’s wrong with you?!”
In order not to make a scene and attract the attention of other people, the middle-aged man turned and left after rebuking her.
Clara narrowed her eyes. If it weren’t for the fact that she didn’t want to kill anyone and cause a scene, this man would already be dead!
“Damn it, is it so difficult to find a man? Jordan destroyed my family. I must take my revenge!”
At this moment, a very young couple arrived at the hotel lobby holding hands.
“Oh.”
Clara was very interested in the tall, thin boy. She found him very young and refreshing.
“Hehe, oh la la… Fresh meat.”
A wicked smile was on her face.
