The Abandoned Husband Dominates Chapter 691-695

Chapter 691

Ever since they found out that the Schmid family was being controlled, the eight great families had been in a panic and regarded Shaun and his wife as the most terrifying threat. They had barely been able to sleep well after returning home.

As long as Shaun and his wife were not eliminated, the secret families would not be able to live in peace. They had even temporarily suspended their research and development. They did not want their research to end up in Shaun’s hands.

The most important thing for the eight great families now was to get rid of Shaun and his wife.

The Rongs were shocked to hear Charleston’s report. “Are you serious? Jordan killed Mrs. Handley? Oh my god, how did he do it?”

Madam Geng also praised him. “I can tell that Jordan is not a simple child. Till now, we couldn’t even find a single trace of Shaun and his wife, but he already managed to kill one of them. Tsk tsk, Jordan is really capable. Most importantly, he’s also handsome. Haha.”

Park Sang-jun was in disbelief. “Impossible! Mrs. Handley is good at all kinds of strange demonic techniques. She’s not an ordinary person. How could a mere boy like Jordan kill her?! Is Mr. Steele trying to fool us?!”

Charleston said, “How could I lie about such an important matter? I’ll share the photo of Clara’s corpse to the group very soon.”

Miyamoto Chujiro supported Charleston. “I believe that Mr. Steele is not lying! Mr. Jordan has been injected with the great Mirakuru serum. Why can’t he kill Mrs. Handley?! The Steeles have made a great contribution again. I sincerely thank the Steele family!”

To obtain their so-called “Mirakuru serum” technology from the Steeles, the Miyamoto family blindly sided with the Steeles.

For this video conference, the Schmid family had sent Lota instead of Tom Schmid. Although Lota was young, she was already the head of the Schmid family.

When Lota heard this news, tears welled up in her eyes. “Thank you. My parents will cry tears of joy when they hear this news! Please thank Jordan for everything he has done for us!”

The other families also thanked the Steele family and praised Jordan’s ability.

Chairman Rong was in a very good mood now. “Now, we just have to deal with Shaun. Our families must unite and set up an inescapable net all over the world. We must capture Shaun Handley!”

“Yes, Chairman!”

The video conference soon ended.

At Park Sang-jun’s house in South Korea, Park Sang-jun slammed the table in anger.

“Damn it! The Steeles have stolen the limelight again! Why? The Steeles should have been expelled from the eight great families by now, but Jordan has boosted his family’s status. They are even more respected than the Rongs now!”

Park Sang-jun was furious. He never liked the Steeles to begin with. In addition, the Steeles had pretended that the Park family’s medicine was theirs and even gifted the medicine to Chairman Rong and Madam Geng. No one believed Park Sang-jun’s explanation.

Picking up the phone, Park Sang-jun immediately punched in the numbers.

“Hello.”

A gloomy voice sounded from the other end of the line.

It was Shaun!

The Park family and Shaun had secretly colluded. All along, the Park family knew about Shaun’s whereabouts and deliberately kept it a secret!

Park Sang-jun said, “Mr. Handley, I have some very unfortunate news for you. Jordan killed your wife!”

Shaun was incensed. “What did you say? Jordan killed Clara? Impossible!”

Park Sang-jun said, “Just now, the Steele family… hello…?”

Park Sang-jun wanted to continue, but he realized that Shaun had already hung up.

Park Sang-jun wasn’t upset, instead, he chuckled. “He must have gone to verify my news, right?”

Since Shaun and his wife could control others remotely, Shaun might have placed something on Clara so that they could keep in contact.

In less than five minutes, Shaun called back.

He was in a manic rage!

“Ah!! My wife is dead! Clara is dead! Clara is really dead! Jordan, was it Jordan? The murderer! Was it Jordan?!” Shaun shouted crazily.

Park Sang-jun said, “Mr. Handley, Charleston just held a video conference with the eight great families and personally reported that Jordan killed your wife!”

Shaun was furious. “Damn you, Jordan! How dare you kill my wife? I’ll tear you into pieces!”

Park Sang-jun hurriedly said, “Mr. Handley, the Steeles are too despicable. They killed your wife and slandered our Park family. We should destroy them! How about this? You have the ability to control people. I’m willing to help you get close to Charleston. Control Charleston like how you controlled Tom Schmid and his wife!

“As Charleston, the Steeles will be under your control. You can kill Jordan with just a command! However, let’s make things clear first. After this is done, we will each get half of the Steele family’s assets!”

This was also the reason why Park Sang-jun had called Shaun. He knew that Shaun had abilities that none of the other secret families had, so he wanted to use him to get rid of the Steeles.

What he didn’t know was that Shaun would not really kill Jordan. If Shaun wanted to kill Jordan, he would have done so long ago.

Park Sang-jun did not know Jordan’s value to Shaun.

Calming his rage, Shaun simply replied, “No.”

Park Sang-jun frowned. “You are rejecting me? Mr. Handley, all the secret families are all looking for you. With our technology, no matter how well you hide, we will find you sooner or later! Now, among the eight great families, only I can help you. I advise you to reconsider!”

There was already a hint of threat in Park Sang-jun’s words. His determination to get rid of the Steele family was very strong!

Shaun replied calmly, “Charleston is a dying man. What’s there to control? What if he dies soon after we spend so much effort controlling him? Will it be worth it?”

Park Sang-jun gasped. “Are you referring to the curse of the eight great families? That’s indeed true. None of the members of the eight great families can live past 80 years old. When my father was 79 years old, his health was very good, but he suddenly died a few days before he turned 80.”

Shaun said, “Even your father couldn’t avoid it, how can Charleston survive? However, he still has six months before turning 80. Letting him live for another half a year is going too easy on him. I want to speed up the curse!”

“Speed up the curse? How?” Park Sang-jun asked in surprise.

Shaun said, “When I was in control of the Schmid family, I had a secret laboratory in Iceland researching human cryonics. The research on this technology has been very successful. For now, the human lifespan is still limited, but we can safely freeze human bodies for many years until we can revive them. I want you to lure Charleston to that place so that we can freeze his body.”

Park Sang-jun interrupted. “Will he die?”

Shaun smiled. “If the curse exists, he will definitely die!”

Chapter 692

Although Shaun was born in a small, rural town, he had occupied the Schmid family for many years and had studied a lot.

As such, he would plan carefully to kill Charleston. He did not want to take any personal risks to kill the man.

This was because he firmly believed that everyone from the eight great families had been cursed by the Deity. No one could live past 80 years old.

But if Charleston could be successfully frozen, he would be able to escape this curse.

Shaun was certain that Charleston would choose to be frozen, and in doing so, he would trigger the curse in advance and die earlier!

…

Early next morning, Charleston was wearing thin clothes as he strolled in the garden of Steele Castle.

Butler Frank chased after him with a coat and put it on him. “Master, why are you up so early?”

Charleston smiled and looked at the distant sky. “I don’t have many mornings left. I want to enjoy as many sunrises as I can.”

“Master, you’re worrying too much. You are in very good health. You’ll be fine.”

A sigh left Charleston’s wrinkled lips. “Butler Frank, do you think I should prepare my will now? After I die, who do you think I should hand the Steele family over to? Jesse or Jordan?”

Butler Frank replied very frankly, “Mr. Jordan is smart and capable. He’s the best candidate.”

Charleston nodded. “Jordan is indeed more outstanding than his other brothers. But if I hand the family over to Jordan, Jesse will definitely be indignant. I’m really afraid that he will do something extreme.”

Butler Frank asked, “Are you worried that Mr. Jesse and Mr. Jordan will become enemies?”

Charleston nodded. novelbin

At this moment, Charleston’s phone rang. It was Park Sang-jun.

“Mr. Park, why are you calling so early in the morning?” Charleston immediately answered the call.

Park Sang-jun said anxiously, “Mr. Steele, my men have found signs of Shaun in Iceland!”

“What? Shaun went to Iceland? Thank you for informing me Mr. Park, I’ll immediately send my men to join up with the rest of the eight great families. Together, we’ll exterminate Shaun!” Charleston said.

However, Park Sang-jun said, “Mr. Steele, you’ve misunderstood. I didn’t tell the other families about this. I just want our families to complete this matter.”

Charleston was a little surprised. Park Sang-Jun didn’t want to tell the other families? But on second thought, Charleston realized that this was indeed in line with the Park family’s style. They always wanted to claim sole credit for things.

But then why did the Park family choose to tell only the Steele family? After all, to say that the relationship between the Park and Steele families was strained would be an understatement.

Charleston smiled. “Mr. Park, please forgive me for being blunt. When your father was alive, the relationship between our families was quite good. But now, I am sure you know what it is like between us. May I ask why you chose to join forces with the Steeles for such an important matter?”

Park Sang-jun replied with a smile, “Mr. Steele is indeed straightforward. I will be direct too, then. Indeed, I don’t like the Steeles! Your family is a big threat to us! That’s why I wanted to get rid of you previously! However, my family doesn’t have the confidence to settle this matter alone. Shaun is different from ordinary people. He can control people. We won’t be able to defeat him unless we just blow up the entire Iceland.

“We are not confident in successfully sending people in to capture him! But the Steeles and Shaun are both from the US, so you might be more familiar with his habits. In addition, Jordan already killed Shaun’s wife, so your family has some experience. Of course, more importantly, your family has the Schmid family’s quantum invisibility cloak now. That’s why I want to cooperate with you and have shared this information with you!”

Charleston chuckled. “It’s really not easy for the Steeles to obtain Mr. Park’s recognition. Thank you for the information. Alright, I’ll tell my grandson Jordan to go to Iceland with your people to capture Shaun!”

But Park Sang-jun said, “No, you can’t send Jordan!”

“Why?” Charleston asked.

Park Sang-jun said angrily, “You know very well what your grandson did at the great meeting! He stole my family’s medicine and lied that the Steeles invented it. Not only that, he was disrespectful to our family. I don’t want to see that person! Mr. Steele, I hope that you and I can personally go to Iceland to capture Shaun!”

Charleston hesitated.

He could understand why Park Sang-jun did not want to see Jordan. After all, Jordan had humiliated the Park family at the great meeting. It was impossible for the Parks to forgive him so easily.

However, if Charleston had to do it himself…

“Why? Is Mr. Steele afraid? Are you afraid of being controlled by Shaun?” Park Sang-jun smiled.

How could Charleston admit defeat?

Charleston chuckled. “If Mr. Park isn’t afraid of being controlled by Shaun, what do I have to be afraid of? I am already an old man just waiting to be buried. If Shaun had to choose between us, he would definitely not choose me. Alright, I’ll bring my other grandson Jesse to Iceland.”

Park Sang-jun snorted. “I’ve already set off. See you in Iceland!”

After hanging up, Charleston’s face was filled with worry. His intuition told him that Park Sang-jun had ulterior motives for asking him along to Iceland.

When Butler Frank heard about this, he hurriedly advised, “Master, you can’t go. What if Shaun takes control of your body? I think the Park family is up to no good!”

Charleston waved his concerns aside. “Is there anything in this world that isn’t risky? With Jesse protecting me, Shaun can’t get close to me. Immediately inform Jesse that we are setting off for Iceland!”

Butler Frank replied, “Yes!”

…

Not long after, the Steele family’s Zephyr arrived in Iceland and met up with the Park family at a pre- arranged meeting point.

Park Sang-jun teased Charleston. “Mr. Steele, your plane flies too slowly. I’ve already had a seafood feast while waiting for you!”

Jesse stepped forward and said respectfully, “Hello, Uncle Park. My grandfather’s health isn’t very good, so we didn’t fly too fast. I’m sorry to have kept you waiting.”

Park Sang-jun glanced at Jesse. “Jesse, you’re a good boy. You’re more sensible than Jordan. I like you!”

Jesse was delighted. “Thank you for your praise, Uncle Park. I heard you found Shaun. Where is he now?”

Park Sang-jun waved at him. “Follow me. He’s hiding in a remote location now. You have the quantum invisibility cloak provided by the Schmid family, so I’ll leave the actual infiltration to you! However, the credit for killing Shaun must be split equally between our families when we report to Chairman Rong!”

Chapter 693

Jesse smiled. “Of course. After all, you were the one who provided the information!”

The Park family was going to stand by and watch as the Steeles charged in. If the Steeles succeeded, they would split the credit equally. If the Steeles failed, the Parks could easily escape.

If Jordan were present, he wouldn’t have agreed to such a request, but Jesse was eager to please and willing to be at a disadvantage.

Of course, the Park family was just putting up an act. They knew that there would be no intense battle or danger later. The Park family and Shaun had already discussed everything. novelbin

The Park family brought the Steeles to a very remote place. From afar, it looked like an “ice factory”.

Park Sang-jun said, “Shaun is inside now. Thank you for taking the risk. I hope you can come back alive!”

Worried that Park Sang-jun and Shaun might have set a trap inside, Charleston instructed Jesse, “Put on your invisibility cloak. Be careful!”

Jesse nodded. “Don’t worry, Grandpa. I know what I’m doing. I will personally kill Shaun!”

Jordan had already made so many contributions. It was inevitable that Jesse was very jealous! He couldn’t wait to gain recognition among the eight great families for killing Shaun.

With that in mind, Jesse led Chimera and a hundred other elites into the factory!

Putting on his invisibility cloak, Jesse entered the factory, realizing that it was no ordinary factory. The “workers” here all wore special uniforms and looked very knowledgeable. They did not look like factory workers, but more like scientific researchers.

“What are they doing?”

Jesse couldn’t figure out what they were researching. But he didn’t have the time to ponder over this now. He slowly went upstairs with Chimera to find Shaun.

Chimera suddenly spotted a middle-aged man. He looked gloomy and gave off a creepy vibe.

“Shaun Handley!”

Jesse had seen the photo of Shaun and his wife that Lota had given to the eight great families. Jesse immediately recognized him. That man was Shaun!

“Meow!”

A cat suddenly flew towards Chimera. Jesse knew that the Handleys were very good at using cats to kill people, and he was afraid that his best subordinate would be killed, so he immediately picked up his gun and aimed at Shaun.

Bang!

Shaun seemed to have been prepared. The shot missed him.

“What?”

Jesse was surprised. He was invisible, so Shaun couldn’t have seen him. He was just too lucky.

Shaun seemed to have realized a bullet had appeared from nowhere. He was very wary and jumped out of the window from the third floor.

“Chase after him!”

Chimera and the others tried their best to chase after Shaun, but they couldn’t find him even after searching a radius of more than 10 kilometers.

By now, Jesse’s men had taken control of the whole factory.

After asking around, Jesse was surprised to find that this was a “human cryonics” laboratory set up by Shaun. He had come here to hide from the eight great families! ‘Fortunately, the Park family discovered this in time. We will never be able to find him after he is successfully frozen!’

Jesse silently rejoiced.

Jesse immediately called his grandfather to report.

“Grandpa…”

“Jesse, how are you? Are you alright?!”

“I’m fine, Grandpa. I saw Shaun. It’s a pity that he ran away. However, we have control over his human cryonics laboratory.”

“Human cryonics laboratory?”

“Yes, Grandpa. It turns out that Shaun has been developing human cryonics technology for the past 10 years. His technology in this area has probably surpassed the Rong and Geng families. I’m wondering if we should take over this laboratory and not tell the Park family.”

Charleston said, “I’ll handle this matter. Stay here for the time being.”

After hanging up, Charleston walked over to Park Sang-jun.

Seeing Charleston’s relaxed expression, Park Sang-jun smiled. “Looks like nothing happened to your grandson. How was it? Is Shaun dead?”

Charleston said, “Sorry to disappoint you, Mr. Park. Shaun escaped.”

Park Sang-jun snorted. “What trash! It wasn’t easy for me to find out his location. I sacrificed more than a dozen of my subordinates for this, but you guys let him escape!”

Charleston apologized. “It’s Jesse’s fault. I’m sorry, but Jesse discovered Shaun’s secret human cryonics laboratory. Should we go over and take a look?”

Park Sang-jun was shocked. “Human cryonics? Our family has always wanted to research this area! Quick, let’s go take a look!”

The two of them went to the laboratory together. After interrogating the researchers in the laboratory, the Steele and Park families both concluded that the progress made here was far superior to that of the other families.

Park Sang-jun laughed. “Looks like I did gain something after all. With this human cryonics technology, I can live more than a hundred years! Mr. Steele, Jesse, I’ve troubled you to come all the way here. You can leave now. If there’s any news of Shaun next time, I’ll definitely inform you. Don’t let him slip away again.”

Charleston and Jesse looked at each other. Park Sang-jun clearly wanted to monopolize this laboratory!

Jesse said, “Uncle Park, I was the one who discovered this laboratory. It’s not right for you to monopolize it, right?”

Park Sang-jun snorted. “If I hadn’t given you the information, would you have discovered this place?”

Charleston said, “If I hadn’t told you about what Jesse found and just secretly occupied this place, you would never have known that the factory was actually a human cryonics laboratory, right?”

“That’s right, Mr. Park,” Jesse said. “We could have easily kept this laboratory a secret and taken it for ourselves. But since we’re all working together, we should split the benefits equally, don’t you think?”

Park Sang-jun had been putting up an act. Of course, he didn’t plan to monopolize this place.

Park Sang-jun pretended to be deep in thought. “Alright, since you have been playing fair, I’ll agree to split this place equally with you!”

“Thank you, Uncle Park!”

Park Sang-jun said, “Our two families will each leave 100 men here to guard this place. Apart from us, no one else can enter, not even the Rong family! Agreed?”

Charleston nodded.

“Alright, in that case, I’ll take my leave first!”

Jesse politely asked, “Uncle Park, don’t you want to know more about human cryonics?”

Park Sang-jun replied bluntly, “I’m only in my 50s, I am not nearing 80 years old and about to die. Why should I bother to learn about it now?”

Chapter 694

Park Sang-jun’s words were intentional, and Charleston’s expression stiffened imperceptibly. novelbin

If Jordan was here, he would definitely slap Park Sang-jun!

Park Sang-jun quickly added. “Mr. Steele, I’m not talking about you. Don’t take it to heart. Um, I’ll leave first. You guys take your time to understand the research!”

With that, Park Sang-jun left, leaving behind a hundred subordinates to guard this place.

Jesse comforted Charleston. “Grandpa, don’t take Park Sang-jun’s words to heart. But he’s right. Haven’t you always been worried about the curse? Now, you can freeze your body! We can revive you after you pass the age of 80. Won’t the curse be broken then?”

Charleston nodded. “Yes, that’s indeed a solution.”

Instead of having to live in fear every day, it was better to “hibernate”. That way, he could go to “sleep” and then be revived. In this way, the curse would be broken.

Over the next three days, Charleston got all the top scientists under the Steele family to work with the Handley family’s researchers to see if the technology was genuine and effective.

The Steele family scientists finally confirmed that the Handley family researchers were not bluffing. The technology was real and the cryo-chamber was working.

After another three days of consideration, Charleston decided to enter the cryo-chamber and hibernate for a year!

After making this decision, Charleston immediately informed Jordan, who rushed over.

…

On Zephyr Three.

Jordan, Victoria and Lauren sat together on the luxurious and comfortable seats, drinking champagne as they headed to Iceland.

Victoria was in a good mood. After the past few days, she had finally relaxed.

The woman who underwent plastic surgery took Victoria’s place in the murder case. In the end, the woman did not go to jail either. Instead, the Black Ops Team provided her with a cover story that she had been on an undercover mission to investigate the group of drug dealers. They claimed that she had killed the biker as part of the mission.

In addition, the internet was no longer discussing this incident.

Victoria was in a very nice outfit and had on youthful makeup. She looked even younger than Lauren. She took the matter of meeting Jordan’s family very seriously.

Victoria said nervously, “Hubby, is my outfit suitable? Will your grandfather not like me? Ah, I’m so nervous. This is my first time meeting your grandfather. I’m so nervous that my hands are sweating.”

Jordan looked at Victoria’s short skirt which revealed her snow-white long legs. He smiled. “Wife, are you trying to seduce my grandfather by wearing such a short skirt?”

Victoria immediately hit him. “Annoying, what nonsense are you spouting? Does your grandfather not like women to wear short skirts? I’ll change into pants then!”

Jordan grabbed Victoria. “Victoria, don’t be so nervous. My grandfather is very easy-going. Your outfit is perfect. When my grandfather sees you, he will definitely like you very much! Besides, your father worked for the Steeles. We’re already family. How can he not like you?”

Lauren piped in. “That’s right, Victoria. Jordan’s grandfather is a very nice person.”

“Alright.” Victoria smiled and held Jordan’s arm happily.

Ever since Jordan returned to the country and saved Victoria, the two of them chatted every night and grew even closer than before.

Seeing how intimate the two of them were, Lauren didn’t get jealous. Instead, she was all smiles.

“Hubby, is your grandfather really going to undergo cryonics?” Lauren asked.

Jordan nodded. “Yes, he said that he wants to be frozen for a year, but I am worried that there will be a problem with the cryo-chamber.”

Lauren held Jordan’s hand. “Didn’t your family’s scientists check it out already? Don’t worry too much.”

A few hours later, Zephyr Three arrived in Iceland.

Jordan brought his two wives to the secret laboratory that was now occupied by the Steele and Park families.

“Hello, Grandpa.”

“Hello, Grandpa. I’m Victoria. Nice to meet you!”

Lauren and Victoria greeted Charleston politely.

Charleston smiled at Victoria. “You’re Norman’s daughter?”

Victoria nodded nervously.

Charleston walked over and kindly patted Victoria’s shoulder. “Child, we took your father away back then, causing you to become an orphan. I want to apologize to you.”

Victoria said, “I already know the ins and outs of this matter. I don’t blame you, Grandpa.”

Charleston nodded in relief. “You’re my granddaughter-in-law now. Not bad. You and Lauren are both beautiful and generous. With you two by Jordan’s side, I feel very relieved.”

“Hello, Jesse.”

“Hello, Jesse.”

Lauren and Victoria born greeted Jesse.

Jesse nodded in response.

“I’ve already decided to enter the cryo-chamber and hibernate for a year. During this period, I’ll leave all the matters of the Steele family to Jesse and Jordan. You must work together and protect our family. Don’t let outsiders do anything to us, understand?” said Charleston.

As Charleston was only going into hibernation, he was not dead yet, so he didn’t choose between Jesse and Jordan. Instead, he let the two of them work together.

Jesse and Jordan had no objections.

Jordan said, “Grandpa, is there any danger? Why don’t we wait a little longer before deciding?”

Jesse retorted, “Grandpa will be 80 soon. What if something happens?”

Charleston smiled. “Jordan, don’t worry. Our research team has already carefully checked the cryo- chamber many times. There’s no problem. Alright, stop arguing about me. I’ll enter the cryo-chamber now. I’ll leave the Steele family to you brothers!”

As everyone watched, Charleston changed out of his clothes and put on a special “cryonics suit”. He stepped into the cryo-chamber.

For some reason, the corners of Jordan’s eyes suddenly twitched. He felt that something bad would happen.

Charleston had just stepped into the cryo-chamber when he suddenly staggered and fell to the ground!

“Grandpa!”

Jordan immediately rushed over and helped his grandfather up. “Grandpa, are you alright?”

Charleston waved his hand. “It’s nothing. I just slipped… Pfft!”

Charleston suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood!

“Grandpa!”

Jesse, Lauren, Victoria and the others rushed over anxiously.

“Perform a physical checkup on my grandfather now!” Jesse roared.

The doctor quickly rushed over and did a simple examination. He said anxiously, “Mr. Steele’s heart rate suddenly increased. He can’t be frozen anymore. He needs immediate treatment! Otherwise, his life will be in danger!”

Chapter 695

The atmosphere instantly turned extremely tense!

A second ago, Charleston was still full of energy and preparing to enter the cryo-chamber to hibernate. However, at this moment, he couldn’t even breathe and looked like he was in danger!

All of this happened so suddenly. It was too strange!

Everyone at present was from the Steele family. No other family was here, not even the Park family subordinates. Moreover, all the equipment had been tested countless times and there were no problems.

The Steeles’ top medical equipment and doctors were all back at Steele Castle in England. Therefore, they had to send Charleston back to England for immediate treatment. novelbin

Jordan and the others carried their grandfather to Zephyr Three.

There was a doctor on Zephyr Three, who was trying to stabilize Charleston.

“Curse… curse… curse…”

Charleston kept muttering this word as he lay there.

Jordan went to the washroom to vent his uneasiness and anger.

Victoria and Lauren went to him. Lauren pulled Jordan’s hand and said, “Hubby, don’t worry. Grandpa will definitely be fine.”

Victoria asked, “Hubby, why does Grandpa keep saying the word ‘curse’? What does he mean?”

Jordan let out a long sigh. “No one from the eight secret families has ever lived past 80 years old. Grandpa wanted to escape the curse by undergoing cryonics. Now, he must be thinking that he had

triggered the curse by doing so.”

Victoria seemed to understand. “Grandpa believes he collapsed not because he’s sick, but because he’s cursed?”

Jordan nodded.

Lauren continued to pat Jordan’s back to comfort him. “I think the curse is too fantastical. Since Grandpa isn’t injured or ill, he will be fine.”

Jordan held Lauren’s hand and forced a smile. “Thank you. I hope so.”

Zephyr Three flew at high speed and soon arrived at Steele Castle.

By now, Steele Castle had already received the news. Everyone, including the doctors, nurses and even the gardeners and servants of the castle, had been mobilized. They stood at the entrance to greet them.

After the plane landed, the doctors immediately rushed over and pushed Charleston into the castle.

Jordan, Jesse and the other family members followed closely behind.

As they passed by a group of servants, a beautiful and voluptuous woman in a servant’s uniform approached Jordan. She asked anxiously, “Jordan, what’s wrong with Grandpa?”

It was none other than Jordan’s ex-wife, Hailey!

Jordan was already very upset. When he saw Hailey, who had betrayed him several times, he became even angrier. “Why are you still here? Get lost!”

With that, he ignored Hailey and continued to follow his grandfather.

It was Victoria’s first time at Steele Castle, so she was surprised to see Hailey. “Hailey? Why are you here?”

When Hailey saw Victoria, she greeted her politely. “Hello Victoria, we haven’t seen each other for a long time. What happened to Jordan’s grandfather?”

Victoria didn’t like Hailey either. She knew how much Hailey had hurt Jordan in the past!

Charleston was in a critical condition and Jordan was already very upset by that. Yet, this b*tch was still here aggravating him.

Victoria replied coldly, “Why are you here? You cheated on Jordan and slept with another man. What right do you have to be here?”

At this moment, Lauren explained, “Victoria, Jesse asked Hailey to be a servant here to punish her for what she did to Jordan. That is why Hailey is staying here.”

Victoria nodded before saying to Hailey, “Hailey, perhaps you have repented, but unfortunately, I believe that it’s very difficult to change a person’s nature. The moment you have an affair, no matter how regretful you are, you will still be tempted in the future and make the same mistakes again. I advise you to leave this place!”

With that, she walked into the castle with Lauren.

Hailey was wearing a servant’s uniform and she looked very sweet and innocent. She also had a very good figure, not at all inferior to Victoria or Lauren. But she still lowered her head and humbly listened to Victoria’s admonitions.

Only after the two of them had walked far away did Hailey dare to raise her head. She cursed Victoria in her heart: ‘Victoria, what right do you have to say that about me?! I was unfaithful, but at least I was

a virgin when I married Jordan! What about you? You had already slept with countless men by the time you met Jordan! You’re just an old, used woman! Only Lauren has the right to scold me for being impure!’

…

After entering the surgical theater in Steele Castle, the top doctors under the Steele family gathered around to treat Charleston. They thought he would soon be out of danger, but even after eight whole hours in the operating theater, Charleston remained in critical condition!

This meant that Charleston might die at any moment!

“How did this happen?! Why hasn’t my grandfather been cured?! It’s been so many hours! What are you doing?! My grandfather just slipped and fell. He didn’t suffer any injuries. He didn’t get shot nor is he sick! Why can’t he be cured?” Jordan shouted at one of the doctors outside the operating theater.

He was burning with anxiety. He could not accept losing his closest family member.

Ever since he was young, he had been the closest to his grandfather. His relationship with his grandfather was even closer than his relationship with his parents.

Jesse also stood at the door. “Jordan, what’s the use of scolding the doctor? He also wants to cure Grandpa, right?”

Jordan looked at Jesse. He always tried to avoid arguing with his brother, but now that his grandfather was critically ill, he couldn’t care less!

Jordan said angrily, “If you hadn’t brought Grandpa to Iceland and discovered that stupid laboratory, nothing would have happened to him! Also, the Park family aren’t good people. Perhaps this is a trap set by the Park family. Why did you let your guard down against them?!”

Jesse was also angry. “You’re saying that I’m to blame for Grandpa’s accident? It was Grandpa’s idea to go to Iceland! What kind of trap did the Park family set for us? The human cryonics technology is authentic. We managed to get this advanced technology because of this mission! This is all to my credit! So whatever technology you brought back is good, while whatever I bring back has harmed Grandpa? I know you want to monopolize the Steele family’s business, but you don’t have to stoop to such a low level!”

Victoria hurriedly stood between the two of them and said, “Jesse, that’s not what Jordan meant. Both of you, please calm down and stop arguing. If Grandpa finds out that you two are quarreling, he will be very upset.”

Lauren also walked over and held Jordan’s hand. “That’s right, Hubby. Don’t be angry.”

Jordan shook off Lauren’s hand and left.

“Hubby, where are you going?” Lauren asked worriedly.

“I’m going to take a nap!” Jordan said.

“Hmph.” Jesse snorted. “What an unfilial grandson! Grandpa’s life is in danger and he might die at any moment, but Jordan still has the mood to take a nap!”
