The Abandoned Husband Dominates Chapter 696-700

Chapter 696

Many people did not understand why Jordan was taking a nap at a time like this.

Anyone could tell that Jordan cared about his grandfather. It was impossible that he did not care about his grandfather’s condition! The reason Jordan chose to take a nap now was not because he was heartless, but because he wanted to save his grandfather!

“If I were a Deity…”

Jordan thought as he walked towards his bedroom.

“If I were a Deity, I would be able to predict the future in my dreams. Those doctors are helpless against my grandfather’s condition, but I can predict the outcome of the treatment from my dreams!”

Jordan wanted to sleep because he wanted to dream of a solution to save his grandfather!

After all, Jordan was not a professional doctor. This was the only thing he could do now to save his grandfather. In his current mood, it was impossible for him to fall asleep naturally. Hence, he took a few sleeping pills and forced himself to sleep.

…

In his dreams.

Jordan saw his grandfather, Charleston, lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed. His left hand was dangling out of the bed.

Jordan, Jesse, Jamie, their father Rowan, and their mother and sisters were all beside Charleston.

Everyone from the Steele family was present.

Everyone was crying!

Charleston was dead!

“No, no, no! Grandpa! Grandpa!”

Jordan shouted in his sleep.

At this moment, Hailey happened to pass by Jordan’s bedroom with a bowl of soup. She was shocked to hear Jordan shouting. She immediately pushed open the door and found him lying on the bed, talking in his sleep.

“Ah, what’s wrong with Jordan?”

Hailey hurriedly put down the soup bowl and walked over. She sat by the bed and gently patted Jordan. “Jordan, how are you? Are you having a nightmare?”

Hailey realized that not only was Jordan shouting, tears were already flowing from his eyes. novelbin

“Jordan, wake up!”

Hailey shook Jordan harder, wanting to wake him up. She finally managed to wake Jordan up. He sat up, but his eyes were still filled with tears.

“Jordan, what’s wrong? What did you dream of? I’ve never seen you like this before. Don’t scare me. I’m so worried about you…”

At this moment, Jordan was extremely fragile. He desperately needed someone to care for him and embrace him. He did not see clearly who the woman comforting him was. He instinctively hugged her.

“I dreamed that Grandpa died. Grandpa died…”

Jordan hugged Hailey and started sobbing.

Hailey was stunned. She was not surprised by what Jordan had dreamed of, but… that he was hugging her! It had been a long time since Jordan had hugged her!

‘What a nostalgic feeling! Jordan, I love you!’

Hailey hugged Jordan back tightly, enjoying this moment. She comforted him, “It’s alright, darling. That was just a dream. Your grandfather is still fine!”

Jordan thought that he was hugging Lauren or Victoria, and he said desperately, “Honey, will my grandfather really be fine?”

Hailey nodded. “Yes, Hubby. Your grandfather will definitely be fine!”

Hailey smiled as she hugged Jordan.

At this moment, Victoria and Lauren had come over because they were worried about Jordan.

The moment they entered the room, they saw Jordan and Hailey hugging each other!

The two of them were stunned!

“Hubby, why are you…”

Lauren did not understand why Jordan was hugging Hailey.

Jordan was shocked when he saw Victoria and Lauren at the door.

Why were his two wives outside?

Then who was he hugging now?

Jordan immediately drew back. When he saw that he was carrying Hailey, he immediately pushed her away. “Why is it you?! Why are you here?!”

Seeing that Jordan did not know that he was hugging Hailey, Victoria immediately became angry. She walked over and slapped Hailey!

Smack!

“Ah!”

Hailey cried out in pain.

Victoria said in an extremely dignified manner, “Hailey, you took advantage of Jordan while he was in such a vulnerable state. Lauren and I are his current wives. We won’t allow a woman like you to go near our husband again!”

Hailey was very indignant. “How did I take advantage of him? I was passing by just now and heard Jordan shouting, so I came in to take a look. When I saw him having a nightmare, I woke him up. How would I know that he would immediately hug me the moment he woke up? He thought that I was Lauren. I look very similar to her. We’re both so beautiful. Is it my fault?”

Victoria said disdainfully, “You? You dare to compare yourself with Lauren?”

Hailey stood up. Her figure was on par with Victoria’s. “Why can’t I compare myself to Lauren? Lauren and I were virgins when we married Jordan! Unlike you!”

Victoria was furious. How dare Hailey try to slut-shame her over such a matter!

Victoria paused for a moment before saying, “Yes, I did have other men before I was with Jordan, so what? Jordan is not that kind of person. He doesn’t care about my past! So what if you were a virgin

when you married Jordan? Did you give your first time to him?!”

“I had a partner before marriage. This is not something I can change because I didn’t know that I would meet Jordan in the future. But if I had other men after our marriage, that would be an unforgivable sin!”

Hailey was indignant. “Victoria, don’t be too full of yourself. Just because you haven’t done it yet doesn’t mean you won’t do it in the future!”

Victoria immediately stretched out her right hand and swore. “I can swear to the heavens that if I have an affair after getting together with Jordan, I will get struck by lightning…”

“Victoria!”

Lauren cried out at Victoria.

“What’s wrong?” Victoria was startled by Lauren.

Lauren said, “Victoria, look at our husband. He’s crying. Don’t argue with Hailey anymore.”

Only then did Victoria notice the tears on Jordan’s face.

Her heart ached for him!

Victoria glared at Hailey before putting down her hand. She sat beside Jordan and comforted him with Lauren.

At this moment, Butler Frank suddenly walked over.

“Mr. Jordan.”

When Jordan saw Butler Frank appear, he knew that he must have something important to announce!

Jordan immediately stood up. “Butler Frank, how’s my grandfather?”

Butler Frank looked extremely grave. He shook his head and said, “Mr. Jordan, I’m afraid Mr. Steele won’t be able to make it. He has returned to his room and wants me to call you over. I think he wants to… tell you his last words!”

Jordan’s tears gushed out again.

“No!”

Jordan’s dream was coming true!

Chapter 697

Jordan had wanted to predict a way to treat his grandfather in his sleep. Unfortunately, he ended up dreaming of his grandfather’s death.

If Jordan was really a Deity, he would have the ability to predict the future in his dreams.

Since he dreamed of this scene, it would definitely happen in the future.

Butler Frank said, “Mr. Steele also asked Ms. Lauren, Ms. Victoria and Ms. Hailey to go over together.”

“What?”

It was not strange for Charleston to ask for Victoria and Lauren too. After all, they were Jordan’s wives, so they were family. So it was only natural that they should be present for Charleston’s last words.

What shocked everyone was that he had also asked for Jordan’s ex-wife, Hailey!

“Ah!”

Hailey covered her mouth in surprise. She never expected that Charleston would want to see her before he died!

Hailey was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. She shouted excitedly, “Grandpa! Grandpa is the best! He even considered me when making his will. I love Grandpa! Grandpa, don’t die. I’m coming now!”

With that, Hailey rushed out the door.

Oops!

As she was too excited, Hailey tripped as she ran out of the door. However, she was not affected at all. She immediately got up and ran towards Charleston’s room.

“This woman!”

Jordan was exasperated. Hailey loved money. The moment she heard that Charleston was going to announce his will, she rushed off faster than anyone else. But no matter how rich the Steele family was, how could Jordan stand to give Hailey anything after she cheated on him?! novelbin

If Hailey became a billionaire after receiving part of the Steele family assets, she would be able to live a carefree life! Did she deserve this after cheating on him with Tyler, Brad and Cayden?! How was this retribution?!

However, now that his grandfather was in danger, Jordan was not in the mood to think about Hailey.

“Grandpa…”

Jordan recalled the scene in his dream and quickly ran out.

Victoria and Lauren looked at each other. Victoria felt very helpless. “Will that woman get a share of the Steele family assets?”

Lauren shook her head. “Sigh, it might be because she gave birth to Jordan’s son. Let’s hurry over.”

Victoria also sighed. The two of them were a little jealous that Hailey had given birth to Jordan’s son.

Soon enough, they all arrived at Charleston’s room. The room was filled with Steele family members. Jordan also saw his second brother Jamie, who had rushed back from the battlefield.

“Jordan.”

Jamie had specially waited for Jordan at the door.

“Mm.”

Jordan held Jamie’s arm and walked in together.

Hailey wanted to step into the room, but Jordan dragged her back. Victoria and Lauren hadn’t arrived yet. What right did she have to go in first?

After that, Jordan brought his two wives to Charleston’s bedside.

Charleston was already on his last breath.

Jordan knelt in front of the bed with tears in his eyes. “How could this be… Grandpa, you were fine in Iceland just now. Why did you suddenly…”

Charleston forced a smile on his pale and lifeless face. “No one… can escape… the Deity’s… curse. I… am already… mentally prepared.”

Victoria and Lauren also knelt in front of the bed, tears streaming down their faces. Charleston looked at his two granddaughters-in-law and stretched out his hand, indicating for them to come closer.

Victoria was the first to move forward. Charleston looked at her and said, “Victoria, you’re such a pitiful child… I hope Jordan can make up for… all the harm we’ve caused you.”

Victoria shook her head. “Grandpa, don’t say that. The Steele family has been very kind to the Clarke family. Dad and I have never blamed you.”

Charleston nodded. He then looked at Lauren, who hurriedly moved forward.

“Lauren, help me apologize to your grandfather… we can only meet up again in my next life…”

Tears streamed down Lauren’s face. “Grandpa, you’ll be fine.”

After talking to the two of them, Charleston looked at Jordan. “Jordan…”

“Grandpa!”

Just as Charleston was about to speak to Jordan, Hailey rushed in and knelt on the ground. “Grandpa, what about me? What about me?”

Hailey had also been kneeling the entire time. She kept inching forward, trying to angle herself in front of Lauren. She was very worried that Charleston would miss out on speaking with her.

Charleston only glanced at her and did not say anything. He continued to look at Jordan. “Jordan…”

“Eh…”

Hailey looked puzzled. Just as she was about to interrupt, Victoria shot her a sharp look!

Hailey immediately shut her mouth in fear, not daring to speak again. If not for the fact that Charleston was in danger and the other elders of the Steele family were present, Victoria would have slapped Hailey for being so rude!

Charleston continued, “Jordan… you’re here. I have two important announcements to make.”

The atmosphere in the entire house instantly became even more solemn.

It was clear that Charleston was about to announce his will!

The Steeles were one of the eight secret families. Their wealth was enough to share among everyone at present, such that each person could spend without limits. No one cared about how much money they would get.

What everyone cared about was who would be the new head of the family after Charleston died!

Everyone knew that although Charleston had a son, Rowan, he had always been very disappointed in him. Moreover, he had long decided to bypass Rowan and hand the Steele family over to the third generation.

Although there were many third-generation descendants, including many outstanding females, their excellence was only on par with other normal wealthy families.

Compared to Jesse, Jamie and Jordan, they were inferior in every aspect. Jamie was a frivolous person. He had yet to complete his battlefield training, so the possibility of him taking over was very low.

Therefore, everyone knew that the head of the Steele family would go to either Jordan or Jesse.

Jesse knelt by the bed as well. Although he was saddened by his grandfather’s death, his mind was also filled with the thought of becoming the next head of the family!

Unlike Jordan, although he knew what his grandfather was going to announce next, his mind was still completely occupied by the sadness of his grandfather’s impending death. He did not think about those things at all.

Charleston said, “I want to announce that the next head of the Steele family will be…”

The entire place fell silent!

Charleston continued. “He’s from the third generation of the Steele family…”

Charleston turned to Jesse. “Jesse!”

“What?” Jamie exclaimed in surprise. He was the only one who spoke out loud, but almost everyone was as shocked as he was.

Everyone knew that although Jordan was the youngest brother, ever since he knew about the family secret, his achievements and talents had far surpassed Jesse’s!

Why would Charleston choose to pass the position of head of the Steele family to Jesse?!

Chapter 698

“Grandpa!”

Jesse cried out in excitement. Even he was surprised that his grandfather had chosen him as his successor.

Deep inside, Jesse knew that his grandfather had always doted on Jordan the most. Recently, it was only because of Jordan’s efforts that the Steeles had been saved from being kicked out by the other secret families.

If not for Jordan, the Steeles would no longer be a member of the eight great families!

It came as no surprise that Jesse thought he had lost to Jordan.

Jesse burst out in excitement. “Grandpa, don’t worry. I swear, I will take good care of Jamie, Jordan and our sisters. I will take good care of everyone in the Steele family! I will definitely bring the Steele family back to our former glory! I will not lose to any other family!”

Victoria and Lauren continued kneeling on the ground. Although they felt indignant for their husband, they remained well-mannered and dignified. Charleston was already on his final breath. How could you argue with an old man who was about to die?

Jordan lowered his head. He did not show any reaction to this outcome. But it was impossible that he wouldn’t feel a little upset by it!

After all, Grandpa should have seen Jordan’s ability. Jordan had also completed all his training missions very well. It was only because of Jordan’s abilities that the Steeles were able to survive! Otherwise, they would have been kicked out by the other secret families!

More importantly, Jordan’s grandfather knew that Jordan might be a Deity! As a Deity, Jordan would definitely be able to lead the Steele family to glory and trample the other seven families under his feet!

So why did Charleston choose to hand over the position of family head to Jesse even though he knew Jordan’s special identity?

Jordan did not refute or question his grandfather.

He knew that his grandfather must have his reasons for doing this. He chose to respect and accept any arrangements his grandfather made!

No one dared to raise any objections, except for Hailey, the only outsider in the room.

“That’s not right, Grandpa. Among your grandchildren, isn’t my ex-husband, Jordan, the most outstanding? You should pass the position of the family head to him!” novelbin

Hailey spoke up for Jordan not because he was her ex-husband, but for her benefit. She knew that the relationship between Jesse and Jordan was now strained. If Jesse controlled the Steele family, he might expel Jordan from the family. Jordan might be left with nothing.

If Jordan was left with nothing, his son with Hailey would also be left with nothing!

Although Victoria and Lauren hated Hailey, she had voiced out what they wanted to say but didn’t dare to. This made them look at her in a different light.

But Jesse flew into a rage!

Jesse glared at Hailey, a murderous intent flashing across his face. “B*tch! How dare you question my grandfather’s decision! What right do you have?! You cheated on Jordan when you were married to him! Jordan is so innocent and kind-hearted. He’s the most capable and good-natured among us brothers! When I found out that you hurt Jordan, I couldn’t wait to kill you! If he hadn’t pleaded for mercy on your behalf, you would have already died! Men, quickly drag this b*tch out!”

“No.”

Jesse was about to speak when someone stopped him.

It was Charleston!

“Grandpa…”

Jesse turned to his grandfather in surprise.

Charleston had called Hailey over. It was obvious that he had something for her.

‘Is Jordan’s grandfather going to give me money? Oh my god, I’m so excited… will he give me a few million? That’s the least he could do, right? After all, I gave birth to a son for the Steele family! Hahaha, fortunately, I only had a daughter with that good-for-nothing Brad. Otherwise, I might not have the right to kneel here today!’

Hailey was extremely excited. She was already calculating how much money she would get! Even a person as shameless as Hailey only thought about getting a share of the Steeles’ wealth.

She would never even dare to dream about what Charleston said next!

Charleston looked at Jordan and Hailey. “The second thing I want to announce… Is that…

“Jordan, I want you to marry… Hailey again.”

Boom!

“Oh my God…”

“What?”

“Uh…”

The originally silent room was now in an uproar. Everyone couldn’t help exclaiming in shock!

Charleston’s request was too shocking. It was even more shocking than the announcement of who the head of the family was!

He wanted Jordan to marry Hailey again?

But Hailey had cheated on Jordan before!

Didn’t that mean he had to forgive her?

Even if Jordan chose to forgive her, this was a matter between Jordan and Hailey. Why was Charleston interfering with the two of them?

Jordan already had two beautiful wives. He was not lacking in this area at all!

“Why would…”

Victoria was dumbfounded. She looked down on Hailey ever since she was in Orlando. She never expected Jordan’s grandfather to ask Jordan to marry Hailey again. In that case, wouldn’t Victoria, Lauren and Hailey be one family?

Lauren also bit her lip and looked at Hailey. Actually, the two of them did look somewhat similar. Lauren felt that Hailey was quite beautiful.

But among everyone at present, Hailey was the most shocked! Her mouth was wide open, forming an O shape. She was completely dumbfounded!

“Marry… Jordan… again?”

Hailey thought that Charleston had called her over to give her some inheritance. After all, she had given birth to a son for the Steele family and was qualified to inherit something. She never expected such an unbelievable outcome!

Of everything in her life, Hailey’s biggest regret was divorcing Jordan and missing the opportunity to become the daughter-in-law of a wealthy and powerful family. She tried all means to win Jordan back, but he did not give her a chance at all. Eventually, she had to give up.

Never had she expected Jordan’s grandfather to fulfill her wish and give her another chance!

“Grandpa…”

Jordan looked at Charleston with a distressed expression. He had been upset when Charleston announced that Jesse would be the new head of the family. Even so, Jordan did not display any reaction.

However, Jordan could not remain silent about this!

How could that b*tch Hailey be worthy of being Jordan’s wife?

It was true that Jordan had once loved her deeply. The two of them also had a son together. However, during their marriage, Hailey betrayed Jordan several times and hurt him.

If Jordan chose to forgive her, wouldn’t it imply that it was fine for a woman to have an affair?

In the future, all the women in the world could cheat if they wanted to!

“Grandpa, you know what Hailey did to me in the past. How can you ask me to marry her again?”

Chapter 699

Jordan had already witnessed the scene of his grandfather’s death in his dream. His grandfather was about to die, and as his filial grandson, no matter what instructions his grandfather had, he should follow them. novelbin

He had no objections to the family head’s succession. However, for the matter of marrying Hailey again, he had no choice but to voice his anguish, even though his grandfather was about to die.

It had to be said that although Jordan had two wives who were both beautiful and talented, Hailey was the one who really agitated Jordan!

Charleston did not explain to Jordan. Instead, he continued. “I want you to… marry Hailey again. Moreover, you have to… hold the wedding on the beach.”

Hailey was very touched by Charleston’s words. “Oh my god, Grandpa is so good to me. He even thought of where we would hold our wedding!”

Meanwhile, Jordan fell into deep thought when he heard Charleston’s words.

‘A beach wedding…’

Didn’t Jordan keep having a recurring dream about his and Hailey’s beach wedding?

Jordan’s grandfather knew about this as Jordan had told him. It wasn’t long ago that Jordan had discussed this with his grandfather. If Jordan was a Deity, his dreams would become reality.

Jordan’s grandfather was trying to make his dream come true. If Jordan and Hailey got married, this would mean that Jordan’s dream came true and he was really a Deity!

He began to understand why his grandfather was doing this!

It was because his grandfather wanted Jordan to become a Deity!

“Grandpa…”

For a moment, Jordan didn’t know what to say. Apart from him and his grandfather, no one else knew that he might be a Deity.

This included Jesse, Jamie and even Jordan’s two wives.

Charleston’s breathing aura became weaker and weaker. “Jordan, promise me…”

Jordan was in a dilemma.

Seeing that Charleston was about to die, Rowan didn’t want to see his father leave this world with regret. He walked forward and pressed Jordan’s shoulder. “Jordan, promise Grandpa.”

After winning the position of the family head, Jesse became more cordial toward Jordan. He whispered in his ear, “Agree for now.”

Jordan let out a long sigh and nodded. “Alright, Grandpa. I agree to all your requests.”

A calm smile appeared on Charleston’s face. His eyes were fixed on Jordan, not the next head of the Steele family, Jesse. He seemed to be still placing the future of the Steele family on Jordan alone.

Gradually, he could no longer hold on. Charleston slowly closed his eyes and his hand fell over the edge of the bed.

“Grandpa!”

Like that, Charleston passed away as Jordan and his brothers cried out.

The curse of the Deity still existed, and no one in the Steele family could escape it.

Everyone started crying. Jordan looked at everything with teary eyes. It was exactly the same as the scene he had seen in his dream!

‘I’m definitely a Deity! I definitely have the ability to predict the future! I will be the ruler of this world! No one can bully me! Absolutely nobody!’

Jordan once again firmly believed that he had extraordinary abilities!

He cried for a long time. After an unknown period of time, he went to the washroom to wash his face. When he came out of the washroom, his father, Rowan, happened to walk over.

“Dad.”

Rowan looked at him. “Jordan, come with me. Let’s have a chat.”

Rowan brought Jordan to a nearby room. He closed the door, took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, and smoked one.

After about two minutes, Rowan asked, “Jordan, you must be very unhappy with what your grandfather told you before he died. Are you upset with him?”

Jordan did not reply.

Although Jordan was unwilling to accept both of Charleston’s announcements, he was his grandfather after all. Now that he had just passed away, how could Jordan be upset with him?

Rowan continued. “Actually, before your grandfather went into the cryo-chamber, he was afraid that he would die during the process. So he discussed with me in advance about the candidate for the family head position. At that time, he already chose your brother, Jesse.”

Jordan took a sip of water with a calm expression. His grandfather always planned for the long-term. He was about to be frozen for a year so it was natural that he would make some arrangements in advance.

Rowan said, “I asked him why he didn’t choose you. You saved our family, and you’re more capable than your brother. Also, you’re very close to Lota from the Schmid family, and that little girl likes you very much. She’s the head of the Schmid family now, and the only child. If the two of you were to get together, the Schmid family would be yours.

“So I asked your grandfather if it was because of Lota. Once you marry Lota, you can become the head of Schmid, while Jesse can be the head of the Steeles. This way, the two of you can each be the heads of a secret family. Not only will you not compete with each other, but you can also work together to improve the Steele family.”

Rowan’s thoughts had some logic to them.

Lota was very innocent and liked Jordan very much. In addition, Jordan had saved the Schmid family. He believed that when the time came, Jordan could definitely take charge of the Schmid family. Tom and his wife would not have any objections!

Rowan continued. “Your grandfather replied that not only would you take charge of the Schmid family, but you would also be able to lead all the eight great families. With your ability, it doesn’t matter if you become the head of the Steele family or not. It’s not the same for Jesse. He has been pursuing the Steele family head position his entire life. If he hadn’t been chosen, he might fall into depression or become your enemy!”

Jordan snorted coldly. Was he saying that Jordan had become too powerful to inherit the Steele family?

In the end, Grandpa still doted on Jesse more!

Rowan asked curiously, “Jordan, why does your grandfather think that you can lead all the secret families?”

It was apparent that Charleston had not told Rowan that Jordan might be a Deity. This matter was very important to Jordan so he also did not intend to tell his father. He only shook his head and did not respond.

Rowan just nodded, with no intention to probe further. He said, “As for marrying Hailey again…”

Jordan immediately cut in. “Dad, I have no objections to letting Jesse be the head of the family, but I’m absolutely unwilling to marry Hailey again. You saw what happened just now. I was forced to agree. Please forgive me for being unfilial. I don’t intend to follow Grandpa’s last wish. I don’t intend to marry Hailey again!”

Chapter 700

Jordan and Hailey were from two different worlds. If not for the training mission arranged by his family, the two of them would never have been together.

Rowan understood Jordan’s feelings. “Alright, I agree. I’ll tell Jesse later.”

“Thank you, Dad,” Jordan said.

A moment later, Jordan asked suddenly, “Dad, can I ask you a question?”

Rowan nodded. “Go ahead.”

Jordan continued. “Logically speaking, the Steele family head position should be passed down from one generation to the next. Grandpa should have passed it to you first, and then you can pass it on to me or Jesse. Why did Grandpa skip you? I can see that your relationship with Grandpa is quite good. Moreover, you’ve always been quite obedient to Grandpa. You’ve also done quite well under Grandpa’s arrangements. You are not estranged from him at all.

“Besides, in terms of ability, I don’t think you are inferior to us.”

Rowan was not a fool. Anyone could tell he was a capable man so Jordan could not understand why Charleston did not favor him.

At Rowan’s current age, he was the most suitable candidate to be the head of the Steele family. He would have more gravitas when dealing with other families.

Rowan smiled. “Thank you for your recognition, child. However, I’m not interested in being the head of the Steele family. I mentioned this to Grandpa many years ago. I told him that the head of the family should be directly passed onto your generation.”

“Huh? Why? Dad, why don’t you have the fighting spirit? Did something happen to you?” Jordan asked curiously.

Rowan sighed. “Many years ago, when your uncle Randall was still alive, the two of us fought fiercely over who would be the successor. Our battles were a hundred times more intense than those between you and your brothers. However, later on, he died because of me. I’ve always felt guilty and believed that I had let him down. Therefore, I swore not to fight for power anymore and gave up the position of the head of the Steele family.

“Don’t think that I’m old and boring now. When I was young, I was even more popular than Jamie. I was also a playboy. I still remember that I once asked the Deity to teach me a trick to pick up girls. It’s the ‘voodoo’ technique that you recently learned. Sigh, now that I think about it, I’ve let down many good girls!”

Jordan was shocked by Rowan’s confession. His father, who appeared to have no worldly desires and was steady and calm, was actually a playboy who was even wilder than Jamie when he was young?

Not only that, he was even more obsessed with power and winning the position of the family head than Jesse?

Jordan had always prided himself on being a good judge of people. No one could escape his eyes. But now, it seemed that he was still too inexperienced. He didn’t even understand his father.

Jordan asked in confusion, “How did Uncle die because of you? It was Shaun Handley who killed him!”

“Shaun Handley? What do you mean?” Rowan frowned.

Jordan quickly explained, “Looks like Grandpa didn’t tell you about this. After we saved Tom Schmid and his wife, Tom said that when Shaun Handley first came to them, he was with Uncle Randall.

Moreover, he also said that Uncle Randall was being controlled by Shaun with evil techniques then. Uncle Randall was not himself at all at that time!”

Boom!

There was an explosion in Rowan’s head like thunder!

Rowan, who had always been calm and steady, suddenly became very agitated. He grabbed Jordan’s clothes and asked hysterically, “What did you say? Randall was being controlled? He was controlled by Shaun Handley? He was not himself at that time?”

Jordan nodded affirmatively. “Yes!”

Rowan sighed. “Ah! I should have seen it back then! Why would Randall be so vicious toward me?! Why would he fight with me so ferociously?! So it was all Shaun Handley’s doing all along! Ah!! Shaun Handley! You killed my brother and made me feel guilty for so many years. Demon! Demon!”

At this moment, Jordan finally knew the truth behind his father.

Previously, Jordan thought that he had triggered a grudge between the Steele and Handley families by killing Shaun’s mother.

But he then found out that many years ago, Shaun had caused his uncle’s death!

Now, he realized that the incident also caused his father to think that he was the murderer. Rowan felt guilty and sank into oblivion, causing the Steele family to have no successor in the second generation. That was why his performance had been inferior to the other seven families over the past decades!

“Damn you, Shaun! I’ll definitely tear you into pieces!”

Jordan clenched his fists and said to Rowan, “Dad, don’t worry. I will definitely kill that demon with my own hands!”

Rowan was also furious. “Good, my good son! You can do it! You can definitely do it! You must avenge your uncle!”

Jordan nodded. “Yes!”

…

Meanwhile, Victoria, Lauren and Hailey were in the female washroom.

Hailey handed a couple of black veils to the other two. “Victoria, Lauren, here are your veils.”

Although she should be in mourning, Hailey was smiling happily. “Victoria, Lauren, from now on, we’re family! I’m the youngest, so I’ll be the third wife. Don’t worry. I won’t keep hogging our husband. Just give me one day a week, hehe.” novelbin

Victoria and Lauren were speechless from disdain. They never expected that they would become a family with a woman like Hailey!

Victoria asked, “Hailey, what did you do to Jordan’s grandfather during your stay in the castle? Why did he ask you to marry Jordan before he died?”

In response, Hailey quickly said, “Victoria, what do you mean by that? Do you think I gave Grandpa some bewitching drug? I just did my job as a servant in the castle. Grandpa must have seen my good attitude and forgiven me.

“Besides, why can’t I marry Jordan again? I gave birth to a son for him. Did you two give him any sons? My son will inherit the Steele family business in the future. Grandpa must have wanted my son to grow

up in a complete family. That’s why he wanted us to get back together!”

Victoria snorted. “Grandpa won’t even give the current family head position to Jordan. The position will never be passed down to your son. That’s definitely not the reason. It must be you. I don’t know what despicable methods you used again!”

Hailey was infuriated. “What despicable means can I use? Jordan’s grandfather is already 80 years old. I can’t possibly have used my body to seduce him, right?”

Seeing the argument become more heated, Lauren tried to smooth over the situation. “Alright, alright, stop arguing. Since Grandpa has decided, Hailey, please behave yourself in the future. Don’t be like before.”

Hailey was still annoyed. “Lauren, what do you mean by that? What do you mean “behave myself”? What kind of behavior are you referring to?!”
