Chapter 821
When Xavier saw that even his father couldn’t protect him, he hurriedly admitted defeat to Jordan.
“Brother-in-law! We’re connected! We’re family! I heard about your heroic deeds from Jenny, so I admired you and audaciously barged in to see you. I’m your fan!”
Jordan saw that Xavier was just a child who liked to flaunt his father’s reputation. He did not have any truly sinister intentions. Also, his father, John, was currently in the Black Ops Team and was Jordan’s subordinate.
He was very grateful to the members of the Black Ops Team. Previously when they were pursuing Shaun’s wife, she had killed many members of the team.
Jordan was very touched that they would risk their lives for him. Therefore, on account of his father, he didn’t take Xavier’s offense to heart.
Jordan said, “Get out of this place immediately and don’t come near again. If you do this again, I’ll get your father to personally come over and throw you into the sea to feed the sharks!”
Xavier hurriedly nodded. “Yes, yes, yes. I’ll get lost now!”
Xavier didn’t dare to say anything else. He made a “call me” gesture to Jenny, indicating that she should call him later. He quickly got into the car and urged the driver to drive away quickly.
Jenny was a little disappointed to see Xavier behave in such a cowardly fashion in front of Jordan. After all, Xavier was her current boyfriend, but he could not compare to Jordan at all.
Women liked powerful men. If anything, Jenny’s liking for Jordan intensified. However, she knew that even if she became the most popular female celebrity in the whole world…
Even if she had captured the hearts of billions of men, Jordan would probably still not fancy her.
Xavier left in a Bentley. Unexpectedly, just as he left the villa area, a black Chevy hit the back of his vehicle.
Xavier was furious. He got out of the car and saw that it was a cheap Chevy. He immediately scolded the owner of the car. “Are you blind?! The road is so wide, how did you manage to hit my car? Do you know how to drive?! This is a Bentley worth over a million dollars. You will need to pay me at least $100,000 to compensate for the damage. Pay up!”
……
Unexpectedly, the car owner was very calm. He did not come out of the car at all. Instead, a man wearing sunglasses emerged from the front passenger seat and grabbed Xavier.
“Hey, what are you doing? Men!”
Xavier was just about to call for help when he saw his driver and subordinates knocked unconscious. In a matter of seconds, Xavier was obediently stuffed into the backseat of the Chevy.
A middle-aged man sat in the backseat. He looked wretched and terrifying.
It was Shaun!
Desperate for Jordan to return, Shaun could no longer sit still in his small town. He personally came to Hawaii to see what Jordan was up to. He did not dare to look for Jordan directly because he knew that Jordan did not want to see him. He was afraid of causing more trouble if he made Jordan angry.
As he was only one step away from successfully developing the mind-transplant procedure, he had to be extremely cautious!
Xavier was a little afraid when he saw Shaun. However, he was the kind of guy who loved to act tough, so he shouted.
“B*stard! You dare to kidnap me? Do you know who I am? My brother-in-law is the war hero Jordan! If you dare to provoke me, my brother-in-law will throw all of you into the ocean to feed the sharks!”
Shaun laughed.
Xavier said fearfully, “What are you laughing at? I’m not bragging. My brother-in-law is powerful. He’s a war hero! The very awesome and ruthless kind!”
Shaun lit a cigarette and stretched out his hand. “Alright, you don’t have to say anymore. I know that Jordan is very powerful. I don’t doubt that.”
Shaun thought to himself: ‘Jordan is not just a war hero. In fact, calling him a war hero is an insult! Jordan is the one and only Deity! He is above everyone in the world!’
Shaun was in no hurry. He gestured to his driver to start the car. After the car started, Shaun took a puff of his cigarette and asked, “I saw you coming out of Jordan’s house, so I brought you here to ask. You said you’re Jordan’s brother-in-law?”
Xavier said, “Are you spying on Jordan? B*stard! My war hero brother-in-law is someone who has made a huge contribution to the country. Why are you spying on him? Tell me the truth!”
Shaun slapped Xavier and warned him. “Kid, if you don’t want to suffer, don’t talk so much nonsense. Just answer my questions.”
Surprisingly, Xavier was not afraid at all. “I am the son of John Show! My father is… is a big shot! How can I embarrass my father! Kill or torture me, it’s up to you. I won’t even frown!”
Shaun was stunned. He stared at Xavier as if he was looking at a fool.
Sitting in the front passenger seat, Shaun’s subordinates couldn’t help laughing.
Xavier had always dreamed of being a hero since he was a young boy. He wanted to serve his country, but unfortunately, he never had the chance. Now that an opportunity had finally presented itself, he was very fearless.
Unfortunately, he had no idea that the person in front of him was not an ordinary criminal. He was one of the most terrifying demons in the world.
Shaun knew a lot of different ways to torture Xavier if he wanted to. However, he just gave him a thumbs up in admiration. “You have guts. As expected of the son of a loyal military general.”
“You know my father’s position?” Xavier was pleasantly surprised.
Shaun smiled. “Of course. Jordan didn’t beat you up after you caused such a scene in front of his house. It must be because of your father.”
“Haha.” Xavier chuckled. “You seem to know Jordan quite well. Are you his friend?”
Shaun nodded. “Yes, we’re very good friends and partners. You said that you’re his brother-in-law, which means that you’re the boyfriend of the big star, Jenny?”
Seeing that Shaun knew the relationship between Jenny and Jordan, Xavier was convinced that he was not an enemy but a friend.
Xavier nodded repeatedly. “That’s right. Jenny is my girlfriend. I single-handedly made her famous. She cost me a lot of money! I wanted to go and meet her brother-in-law Jordan, but he didn’t let me in. Can you introduce me to Jordan?”
Shaun sized up Xavier and muttered. “Jenny’s boyfriend… Give me your phone.”
“Huh?”
Without waiting for Xavier to agree, Shaun took his phone out of his pocket and unlocked it.
“Hey, don’t touch my phone!”
Xavier was about to reach out to stop Shaun, but he realized that no matter how hard he tried, he could not move his hands!
Shaun opened Xavier’s photo album and started looking through it.
Shaun gave a satisfied smirk when he saw a set of erotic photos and videos.
Chapter 822
In the photos and videos, Jenny was the female lead while the male lead was naturally the owner of this phone, Xavier.
After learning that Xavier’s girlfriend was the celebrity Jenny, Shaun was certain that this young man would definitely take some private photos of themselves.
Any man who pursued a female celebrity would want to do this. The only difference was whether someone else would film it for them.
Men who pursued female celebrities all felt that these ladies were liked by tens of thousands of fans and had high and unattainable status. Once a guy successfully got a female celebrity, he would definitely want to take photos or videos as a trophy or to show off.
As for Jenny, Xavier had single-handedly made her popular. It was less likely that Jenny would refuse his request to take photos or videos of their intimate moments.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Jenny really has a devilish figure. You’re really lucky.”
Shaun chuckled.
Xavier said angrily, “What are you trying to do?! You can’t post it. Jenny is a celebrity in the entertainment industry. If this gets out, her career will be over!”
It could be seen that Xavier still cared about Jenny. He had never thought of sharing these photos with others and only kept them as souvenirs. On the other hand, Shaun was a demon who killed without batting an eyelid. He only did things for his own benefit. Why would he care about Jenny?
Shaun admired the photos again before saying, “You’re quite cautious. You didn’t show your face and only showed Jenny’s face.”
Xavier said, “I can’t embarrass my father!”
Shaun snorted. “Your actions have made things easier for me. I’ll get someone to post this video and say that the male lead is Jenny’s brother-in-law. Then, I’ll expose the address of Jordan’s current villa. By then, with Jenny’s popularity and influence, reporters and fans from all over the country will definitely swarm all over this place. Hehe, Jordan, you’ll have no choice but to leave then!”
For the past month, it was as if Jordan’s feet were stuck there. He refused to leave no matter what. He did not go out during the day or at night.
……
Shaun didn’t know what Jordan was thinking. Why was he so persistent in staying in this villa all day, as if he was a full-time nanny?
Shaun needed to find a way to make Jordan leave this place and return with him to continue his research.
…
Half an hour later in the villa where Hailey lived.
Jenny and Jordan were playing with the child.
Suddenly, Jenny’s phone rang. It was her manager.
“Hello Sally, what’s the matter?” Jenny asked.
The manager shouted crazily, “Jenny! Did you take private intimate photos and videos with Xavier?!”
The manager knew that Jenny and Xavier were in a relationship. After all, Xavier had invested so much money in Jenny. It was impossible for her manager not to know.
Jenny’s face turned pale. She realized that something might have happened. “Sally, don’t scare me. It’s impossible for Xavier to post them online. He has no reason to do so. His family background is so prominent, and his father is a big shot. It won’t be good for him if they are leaked!” novelbin
The manager said, “You silly girl, you’ve been deceived by him! After the video was released, there was another revelation. The male lead in the video is your brother-in-law!”
“What?!”
The manager continued, “Your sister and brother-in-law’s villa address have been leaked online too. A large number of reporters and fans are currently on the way over!”
Jenny’s phone fell to the ground.
Jordan was beside her. Seeing Jenny lose her composure, he knew that something big had happened.
“What’s wrong? Is it your grandmother…”
Old Mrs. Camden was already very old and her health was deteriorating year by year. Had she passed away?
Jenny cried. “Bad news Jordan, something seems to have happened. We…”
“We?”
Jordan was stunned.
Jenny didn’t know what to say. “Um… I…I’ll look at my phone first.”
Jenny hurriedly picked up her phone and went online. With such a major thing happening, Jenny would definitely be in the headlines.
As expected, Jenny was at the top of the list of trending topics. The internet was going crazy because of her. She clicked on a link and saw netizens reposting the photos and videos of Jenny.
Although the platform moderators kept deleting such inappropriate content, there were still many users spreading it. It was very easy to find them.
Jordan snatched the phone and casually opened a video. After watching for more than 10 seconds, he immediately closed it.
“I’m so disappointed in you!”
Jordan couldn’t help chiding Jenny in disdain.
As a celebrity, why didn’t she focus on improving her acting skills and singing skills? What was she doing all day?!
However, Jenny was not Jordan’s girlfriend. There was no need for Jordan to care about her private life. Jenny was very ashamed. She had always loved to show off her figure. Now, the entire world could see it in all its full glory.
“Jordan, I’m sorry…”
Jenny apologized to Jordan.
Jordan said, “You don’t have to apologize to me. This is to your own detriment. It has nothing to do with me.”
“It has something to do with you.” Jenny pointed at her phone and said, “Look, you’re the male lead in the news. Your current residence has been leaked too.”
“What?”
Jordan was dumbstruck. After reading the text accompanying the video, he realized that it was indeed so!
Jenny’s brother-in-law had also become a trending topic!
“Damn it!”
Jordan was from a secret family and had always kept a low profile. Now, he was actually a trending topic online. Fortunately, no photos were released. Otherwise, he would have to trouble Lionel to shut down the internet.
But the problem now was that his current residence had been exposed.
Jordan was furious. “Call your boyfriend and ask him how he wants to die!”
Jenny’s boyfriend was clearly the perpetrator of this incident. Jordan was already very unhappy that Jenny had found such a vulgar boyfriend who liked to show off.
After all, Jenny had been Jordan’s sister-in-law for three years. He had always treated her as his younger sister. When they were in South Korea, Jenny had even become Jordan’s woman.
Jordan did not object to Jenny having a boyfriend, but she had chosen someone so low-class and despicable. This greatly annoyed Jordan!
Jenny quickly called Xavier.
“Jordan, I can’t get through to him.”
“Damn it!”
Jordan was about to pick up his phone to call Xavier’s father when a subordinate ran in.
“Mr. Jordan!”
“What’s the matter? Why are you so flustered?”
Jordan found it a little strange. His subordinates were all elite professionals. Even if there were intruders, they wouldn’t be so flustered.
The subordinate said, “Bad news. There are many reporters and agitated youths outside. They seem to be Ms. Jenny’s fans!”
Chapter 823
Jordan was surprised. “What? Reporters and fans found my residence so quickly? Did they come by rocket? Also, isn’t the security of this villa district quite good? How did they get in?”
He was speechless. Jenny’s photos and videos had just been leaked, and now, reporters and fans were already at his door. Shaun had naturally informed the reporters and fans in advance. He had also killed the guards at the villa district.
At this moment, the district was currently unguarded and anyone could enter.
Jordan’s subordinate replied, “We don’t know how they entered the villa district either. Master, should we… kill these reporters and fans? They’re very agitated and won’t listen to us. I’m afraid it’s useless even if we just verbally warn them.”
If the people who came were criminals, it would be easy to deal with them. They could just directly kill them off.
However, these were just ordinary folks. They were media reporters and a group of youths. It was a dilemma for Jordan’s subordinates. They didn’t know how to deal with it, so they came up to seek guidance from Jordan.
Jordan hurriedly instructed, “Don’t do anything! If something happens to this group of reporters, the matter will only blow up. Jenny has millions of fans, and too many people know about this place now. We can’t shut everyone up. And we must not make things worse.”
Bang!
Smack!
They suddenly heard a loud sound. It was as if something had smashed into the glass window on the second floor of their villa. Jordan hurried to the window and took a closer look. He realized that it was
eggs and tomatoes!
“Damn it! These brainless fans actually brought eggs and vegetables!”
Jordan was speechless.
When the youths saw Jordan, they shouted at him, “You shameless man! You slept with your sister-in- law and even posted the photos online. You’ve killed our beloved Jenny! Go to hell!”
……
Bang!
Another egg was thrown at Jordan, hitting the glass pane in front of him.
Jordan was furious. However, he could not refute this fanatical fan because he had indeed slept with Jenny!
“Waa waa…”
Jordan’s son was frightened and started crying.
Hailey picked up her son and comforted him. “Don’t cry, don’t cry. Baby, don’t cry.”
Hailey turned to Jordan. “Hubby, our address has been exposed. Jenny has so many fans. There will definitely be even more fans here later. Let’s leave this place quickly.”
The presence of these reporters and fans would disrupt the normal lives of Jordan and the rest, especially his child. Even so, Jordan could not be ruthless to them.
However, Jordan had to stay here and do something very important. His secret laboratory was in the villa next door!
He could not leave!
Jordan said, “Hailey, take the child and leave first. I’ll get someone to escort you to another safe place. I want to stay here.”
“What? You still want to stay here? Why? These fans think that you slept with Jenny. They will be very nasty to you, but you can’t retaliate as they are just a bunch of youths.”
Hailey did not understand.
Seeing that Jordan insisted on staying here, Jenny spoke up. “Jordan, if you don’t leave, I won’t leave either! I’ll stay here with you. I definitely won’t let my fans hurt you!”
Jordan rolled his eyes at Jenny. ‘Your fans are just a bunch of little kids armed with rotten eggs and tomatoes. They can’t hurt me at all. I have a body that has been injected with the Mirakuru serum!
But Jordan did not bother to explain anything to her. He just instructed Hailey. “Hailey, quickly take the child away. Jenny, whether you want to stay or not, it’s up to you.”
Hailey didn’t dare to probe further. She packed her luggage and quickly left with her child.
After Hailey and the child left, only Jenny and Jordan were left in the villa. Jenny drew all the curtains in the villa. She even turned on the speaker and played music to prevent Jordan from being affected by the noise outside.
As for Jordan, he was actually not too affected. He sat on the sofa in the living room and surfed the internet on his phone.
Coincidentally, Jordan saw a beautiful woman with a good figure doing a very seductive dance. As her figure was extremely provocative, the number of likes had already exceeded a million.
It was just a featured post pushed out by the social media platform. Jordan usually didn’t like to watch such videos. He preferred posts on NBA, film, technology and lifestyle.
When Jenny saw this, she immediately stepped forward. “Jordan! I know how to perform this dance too. Don’t look at her. Her figure and dance moves are inferior to mine. If you don’t believe me, look!” novelbin
The video was still playing on Jordan’s phone. As it was in automatic replay mode, the short video started again after it ended.
Following the background music of the video playing on Jordan’s phone, Jenny started to dance passionately in front of him.
Jenny was indeed a female celebrity who had become popular in a short period of time. In the entertainment industry, no one could match her figure. She did the same dance in front of Jordan. Watching her, Jordan couldn’t resist sighing in his heart: ‘This little vixen!’
After Jenny entered the entertainment industry, she had become even more flirtatious than her cousin!
Jordan knew that she was sensuous. Many men dreamed of getting her, but Jordan was still the one she liked.
After Jenny finished dancing, she took the initiative to sit on Jordan’s lap. “Jordan, I’m really sorry this time. I’ve implicated you. Now that Hailey has left, let me make it up to you.”
But Jordan stood up and said coldly, “Jenny, you should think about your path in the entertainment industry. What should you do next? Now that you’ve encountered such a thing, I reckon your future will be the same as that female celebrity Paris Gildon. No producer will hire you in the future.”
Jenny was indignant and pounced into Jordan’s arms again. “My career is over. The only person who can save me now is you!”
Ignoring her pleas, Jordan mercilessly pushed Jenny onto the sofa. “I do have a hundred ways to save you, but you are not worthy of being saved by me. Don’t play these boring tricks anymore. That time in South Korea was a one-off. Don’t fantasize anymore!”
Jordan was a Deity. How could a materialistic woman from a third-rate family like Jenny, who had undergone plastic surgery, be worthy of being Jordan’s woman?!
“Sobs…”
Jenny lay on the sofa and cried.
Meanwhile, in the backseat of a Chevy near the villa.
Shaun frowned in confusion. “What? Only Hailey and the child left? Jordan and Jenny didn’t leave? Strange, why did Jordan insist on staying there? Is he secretly doing something behind my back?”
Chapter 824
Shaun began to suspect Jordan’s motives. Why did Jordan refuse to quickly finish up the mind- transplant procedure, and instead chose to come here to see his son at this critical time? And he stayed for a month?
Didn’t he want Lauren to leave that lonely, dark house as soon as possible?
“No, I have to know what Jordan is doing in the villa!”
Shaun felt very uneasy. He had to know Jordan’s movements in the villa!
Apart from Jordan, Jenny was also in the villa.
“If I can possess Jenny, I can come into contact with Jordan.”
Shaun wanted to control Jenny himself, but on second thought, she was not an important woman to Jordan. He did not like her at all.
In fact, Jenny was even worse than Hailey. At the very least, Hailey knew the secrets of the eight major families. Jenny didn’t know anything at all.
Therefore, even if Jordan had a secret plan, he would not tell Jenny.
In addition, Jordan had already seen Shaun’s ability to possess people many times. He would be able to instantly recognize the ancient accessories that were used to control someone.
Moreover, Jordan was a Deity. It was not easy to deceive him.
It was better to get Lauren to control Jenny. He could make use of Lauren to monitor Jordan’s movements!
Shaun immediately picked up the phone and called the subordinate guarding Lauren.
A small, remote town in the US.
Knock-knock.
“Ms. Lauren, is it convenient to come in?”
One of Shaun’s subordinates knocked on the wooden door. Shaun had instructed him to treat Lauren with extreme respect. It was necessary to knock before entering. What if she was changing her clothes and it was not a good time? If these subordinates offended Lauren, Jordan would definitely blame Shaun for it.
When Lauren heard the knock on the door, she excitedly ran to open it.
A ray of sunlight shone on Lauren’s face. She used to be the number one beauty in the capital. In the entire country, only Hailey could compare to her in terms of looks.
But now, under the sunlight, her narrowed eyes and messy hair made her look rather drab.
At this moment, she was probably not even as good-looking as Jenny.
Lauren had been locked up in this house for half a year. She had been able to tolerate it for the first month or two. She thought of Jordan every day and waited for him to save her.
Although she was alone in the house, she followed a consistent schedule. Waking up, washing up, eating and going to bed at regular times.
But as time passed, she couldn’t bear it anymore.
She gradually started to let her imagination run wild. She wondered if Jordan was unable to save her if he would stop loving her, and if he would forget about her.
Was she never going to get out of this place?
Therefore, she became increasingly passive. Sometimes, she didn’t wash her face for an entire day.
Shaun had prepared enough expensive cosmetics and facial masks to last her a few years, but she didn’t touch them at all.
No matter how beautiful she looked, what was the use? What was the use of washing herself and primping every day?
No one was looking at her at all!
Lauren opened the door and saw Shaun’s subordinate. She grabbed his arm and asked, “Has my husband saved me? Can I leave now?”
Shaun’s subordinate shook his head. “Ms. Lauren, it’s Master Shaun on the phone. Please answer it.” novelbin
His subordinate handed the phone to Lauren.
“Hello.”
“Ms. Lauren, how have you been?” Shaun gave a wicked smile.
Lauren begged on the phone, “Mr. Handley, please let me out. I really can’t take it anymore. If I stay any longer, I’ll really die!”
Shaun didn’t have an ounce of mercy in him. He just smiled and said, “Ms. Lauren, we agreed previously that I will let you go after your husband helps me develop the mind-transplant procedure. We have to abide by the agreement. Your husband had already completed 90% of the research. He could have finished up our little project a month ago and saved you.
“But for some reason, he suddenly wanted to go to Hawaii to accompany Hailey and their child. Oh, Jenny is also there now. Hehe, the Camden sisters have good figures and looks. Jordan must have
been enjoying himself with them so much that he seems to have completely forgotten about you. Otherwise, why didn’t he just finish up the research in one go and rescue you? Why did he insist on making you suffer for another month? Don’t you think so?”
When Lauren heard this, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. This strong girl from the capital had been tortured by Shaun until she had lost nearly all her willpower.
Hearing Lauren’s sobs, Shaun continued with a smile. “Actually, there’s only one last step to complete the mind-transplant procedure. Without Jordan, our research team will still be able to complete it in a few years. I’ve already waited for decades. It’s not like I need Jordan at this stage! However, if Jordan doesn’t help me finish this last step, I won’t let you go!
“Now, I’ll give you a chance. Control Jenny and use her body to talk to Jordan. Tell him what I think and ask him if he still wants to save you. If he doesn’t, I’ll go back immediately and rape you! I’ll make you my woman! Tell him that it’s just a few more years until completion. I’m not worried even if he doesn’t help me anymore!”
After hanging up, Shaun immediately ordered someone to make a move on Jenny.
Jenny was currently locked up in the villa. Moreover, Jordan’s subordinates were outside the villa, and Jordan himself was inside. It would not be easy to reach Jenny.
However, this was still not a problem for Shaun. He used a cat to solve this problem.
Half an hour later, Jenny, who had fallen asleep in the washroom, slowly woke up.
At this moment, she had already become Lauren.
Lauren slowly got up and looked around. This was not the first time she had controlled others. Previously, she had controlled Madam Park Anya and Hailey.
Right now, she didn’t feel as excited about this new skill as the previous two times. She just wanted to go out and breathe fresh air!
“Hubby…”
Lauren knew that Jordan was in this villa. She quickly ran out of the washroom to look for him.
“Hubby! Hubby! Hubby, where are you?”
Lauren finally found Jordan downstairs. She happily bounced over.
Jordan pushed her away. “Jenny, didn’t you hear what I said?! If you disturb me again, don’t blame me for being rude!”
Lauren said with teary eyes, “Hubby, I’m Lauren, not Jenny.”
Only then did Jordan notice the ancient accessories on Jenny. Lauren had done this a few times before, so Jordan did not doubt it.
“Honey, why are you here?” Jordan asked.
Lauren suddenly knelt down in front of Jordan!
Chapter 825
Lauren knelt down and begged Jordan. “Hubby, please save me. I don’t want to stay in that small dark place for another second. I’m going to go crazy! Please…”
Jordan’s heart ached when he heard that. He felt very guilty and ashamed!
His wife was actually begging him to save her. One could imagine the amount of agony she was in now! novelbin
Jordan hurriedly hugged “Lauren”, no longer rejecting Jenny’s body. Seeing Lauren like this, Jordan’s heart ached and he cried.
“Honey, why are you doing this? Of course I’ll save you. Why are you begging me?”
If it was Hailey or a stranger, Jordan would understand if they had to beg him like this. Lauren was the woman Jordan loved the most. Even if she didn’t say anything, Jordan would overturn the mountains and seas for her!
Lauren sobbed. “I thought you had forgotten about me. I thought you didn’t want me anymore.”
Hearing this, Jordan felt his heart wrench. “Lauren, how can you think that of me? We’ve been through so much. You’re the woman I love the most. How can I not want you?”
Lauren said, “Then why have you been in Hawaii for the past month? Why didn’t you help Shaun finish up the last part of his mind-transplant procedure? I heard from him that there’s only one final step left. You can easily complete it.”
Jordan was in a dilemma. He wanted to explain to Lauren, but he was afraid that Shaun would overhear their conversation.
If that happened, all his hard work for the past month would be in vain.
Jordan could only apologize profusely. “I’m sorry, Lauren. It’s my fault. It’s all my fault. I promise you, I’ll go back soon and save you. Believe me.”
Lauren threw herself into Jordan’s arms. “Hubby, Shaun said that he doesn’t intend to beg you anymore. He said that even without you, he would be able to complete the final step in a few years. He also said that he wants to rape me and force me to be his woman… sobs…”
……
As Jordan hugged Lauren, he clenched his fists, a killing intent surging in his heart.
‘Damn you, Shaun! If you dare to touch my wife, I’ll skin you alive!’
Jordan knew that Shaun had purposely gotten Lauren to send him this message, to lure him back. This was because Jordan had been refusing to pick up Shaun’s calls.
Jordan understood Shaun well. He knew that Shaun would definitely not want to wait for another few years. He would think of all sorts of ways to lure Jordan back.
Waiting another few years, there were too many variables. Now that the eight great families were in turmoil, the world could change at any time. The Rong family had also been targeting Shaun. He might not be able to survive the next few years.
Jordan patted “Lauren’s” shoulder gently and comforted her. “Don’t be afraid, honey. He won’t dare to touch you. He’s just scaring you. Don’t be afraid. With your husband around, no one will dare to touch you.”
Lauren said, “I haven’t seen or spoken to anyone in half a year. I want to return to my normal life. I want to visit so many places with you. I want to give birth to another child for you…”
Lauren was actually not that afraid of being touched anymore because she had not even been allowed to see anyone for months.
“Alright, alright. Let’s have another daughter. We’ll have her in a couple of days. Wait for me.”
Jordan comforted her and carried her to the bed. He chatted with her and finally coaxed her to sleep.
At this moment, it was 2 a.m.
After Lauren finally fell asleep, Jordan immediately put on his invisibility cloak and quietly jumped down from the window. He hurried to the villa next door.
The moment he entered, Dragon and the others immediately asked with concern.
“Master, are you alright? I saw that there are still some fans outside your villa. It is even more chaotic today. I’ve been awaiting your orders.”
Jordan looked at Dragon. “It’s just a bunch of die-hard fans of Jenny. It’s fine. Dragon, don’t stay here anymore. I must return to Shaun’s immediately to save Lauren. Go and protect Victoria now. I don’t want anything to happen to Victoria after I rescue Lauren.”
“Got it!” Dragon said.
Just as Dragon was about to leave, Jordan pulled him back and continued to instruct. “After you see Victoria, you must not leave her side for at least the next 24 hours. Also, be prepared for a gunfight at any time. I predict that a gunfight will happen near Victoria! The other party’s strength must not be underestimated!”
Jordan recalled the dream he had previously. It was the dream where Victoria was shot.
His dream of his beach wedding with Hailey had come true. So it was very likely that his dream of Victoria being shot and falling into a pool of blood would come true too!
Therefore, Jordan wanted Dragon to protect Victoria 24 hours a day.
Now that Dragon had also been injected with the Mirakuru serum, it could be said that he was already the most invincible existence in the world!
Initially, Jordan also wanted Victoria to be injected with the serum, but she rejected him. She said that she would become very muscular after being injected with this serum. She would not look like a woman and was afraid that Jordan would not like her.
This silly woman. How could Jordan not like her just because her figure had changed?
“Yes!”
With that, Dragon quickly left.
Jordan called Professor Liam over. “How are things progressing?”
Professor Liam smiled. “It has progressed very smoothly. We created an active factor that can perfectly fuse with the mind-transplant procedure stabilizer. It is a factor that can be controlled remotely. After adding it to the stabilizer, this factor will be gradually activated as the mind revives. By then, we can remotely control the factor and make the subject have headaches, dizziness and other symptoms.”
Jordan was overjoyed. “Isn’t this the same as the Monkey King’s golden headband curse? If Shaun undergoes the mind-transplant procedure, it will be like he’s wearing a headband around his head which I can tighten and loosen at any time! Well done! How long will it take? My wife can’t endure anymore!”
Professor Liam said, “It only takes an hour!”
“Very good. In an hour, I’ll return to Shaun’s place with this remote control factor!”
…
An hour and a half later, Jenny, whom everyone in the US was crazy about, was lying in Jordan’s arms. Of course, this was not the real Jenny. Otherwise, Jordan would not be hugging her so intimately.
Lauren slowly opened her eyes and saw Jordan. She called out softly, “Hubby.”
Jordan stroked her hair and said gently, “You’re awake?”
Lauren nodded. “Hubby, when… when are you going back to Shaun’s place? I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have pressured you. I know you must have your reasons for being here…”
Jordan smiled. “It’s alright. I’ll go back now. I’ll go back to help Shaun complete the final step. Then, I’ll take you to see the world!”
Chapter 826
Lauren was overjoyed. “Really?”
Jordan nodded.
Lauren happily kissed Jordan.
Jordan was momentarily taken aback. He still found it a little strange to be kissed by “Jenny”. He had once sworn that he would never touch Hailey and Jenny again. In the end, because of Lauren, he got intimate with them again.
It was really difficult to go against fate!
Looking at Jenny’s voluptuous figure, it was impossible for Jordan to remain indifferent. How many men in the entire country wanted to have this woman?
Celebrities were always held in higher esteem than ordinary women. They easily aroused a man’s desire to conquer them!
Jordan said, “Lauren, if you want…”
Lauren seemed to have guessed Jordan’s thoughts. She immediately said, “Of course I want to, but I don’t want to use Jenny’s body to be intimate with you. Previously, I used Park Anya and Hailey’s bodies. Now that I’m about to be freed. I want to be intimate with you using my own body!”
Jordan grinned. “Yes, very soon. Believe me. I’ll call Shaun now and ask him to pick me up. What are you going to do? Are you going to disconnect from Jenny now?”
…
Lauren said, “Although I want to stay with you for a while longer, Jenny doesn’t know anything about the eight great families, much less about you and Shaun. It’s better not to implicate her.”
Actually, Lauren could continue to control Jenny and accompany Jordan back to the small, remote town. However, Lauren was a kind-hearted woman. She was worried that Jenny would come to a bad end if she fell into Shaun’s hands.
“Okay.”
Jordan did not say anything else and immediately called Shaun.
Shaun had just fallen asleep. When he heard the phone ring, he was very frustrated. “Damn it, which b*stard is calling so late at night?!”
He definitely did not expect it to be Jordan. Jordan had always ignored his calls.
“Jordan?” novelbin
Seeing the caller ID, Shaun leaped up from the bed.
“Hello.”
“Shaun, come and pick me up now with a plane!”
Shaun was stunned. “You’re willing to come back? Hahaha, that’s great. Wait for me. I’ll come to Hawaii. I’ll pick you up personally!”
Shaun was extremely excited. He immediately got someone to fly the plane over to Jordan’s villa. His men also chased away those reporters and fans.
Hearing the sound of a plane outside, Jordan prepared to leave.
By now, Lauren had already disconnected from Jenny, who was sleeping soundly on the bed.
Looking at Jenny, Jordan couldn’t help but worry for this little girl. After all, all the men in the country had seen her explicit photos.
In the future, no matter where she went, she would be pointed at and scorned. Her career in the entertainment industry was practically ruined.
Jordan did not intend to use his power to save her. However, he left a note for Jenny.
“Work hard to improve your acting skills. Practice your singing and dancing. Once you produce something good, others will forget what happened today. If you don’t have anything, people will forever only associate you with those photos.”
Jenny’s situation was similar to that of several female celebrities in the entertainment industry. These female celebrities were just competing to see who was prettier, had a better figure and wore nicer clothes. No one wanted to improve their acting or singing skills, and no one cared if they produced any good work.
As long as one was trending, she could earn money and become an A-list celebrity. She could be famous for being famous.
Jordan had always been disgusted by this strange state of affairs.
If Jenny was willing to change in the future, to improve her acting and singing skills, instead of only focusing on her looks, she would have a chance. It would only be then that Jordan would arrange a suitable opportunity for her to make a comeback and regain her current popularity, or even surpass it!
After finishing up the note, Jordan emerged from the villa and went to the plane.
“Hahaha, Deity Jordan, I’ve been waiting for you. Please come in.”
Shaun was overjoyed and invited Jordan to board the plane.
The first thing Jordan did after boarding the plane was to punch Shaun!
Bang!
Shaun was completely caught off guard and took the punch head-on. His head hit the wall of the plane.
“How dare you be so rude to Master Shaun!”
When Shaun’s subordinates saw this, they took out their guns and aimed them at Jordan. Jordan did not care at all. He knew that these subordinates would not dare to attack without Shaun’s orders.
“Shaun, I heard that you want to rape my wife?!”
Even after being punched, Shaun didn’t dare to be angry. He smiled. “I was just joking. I just wanted Ms. Lauren to convince you to come back. Would I dare to touch the wife of a Deity?”
Jordan was still livid. “Shaun, it’s fine if you don’t let my wife use her phone for the past six months, but you didn’t even let her read a book. You caused her to suffer every day. Now that my wife’s mental state has been greatly damaged, I won’t let this matter rest!”
Shaun continued smiling. “Jordan, you can’t blame me for this. You could have saved your wife a month ago, but you insisted on coming to Hawaii to visit your cheating ex-wife and son. Lauren suffered for another month because of you. You can’t blame me for this!”
“You…”
Jordan was furious, but he could not tell the truth.
Now, everything was going according to Jordan’s plan. Not only could he help Shaun complete the mind-transplant procedure, but he could also control Shaun after he underwent the procedure!
Shaun said, “Alright now, let’s not dwell on the past. The most important thing now is to finish up the last step of the mind-transplant procedure. I know you’re very unwilling to help me, but you have no choice. Deity Jordan, I think we should be able to complete the final step within a week, right?”
Jordan snorted. “A week?”
Shaun looked a little unhappy. He forced a smile. “Well, I guess giving you a few more days is fine! Two weeks should be enough, right?”
Jordan knew that Shaun couldn’t wait to see the success of the mind-transplant procedure. He said directly, “I’ve already solved the remaining problems. If your subordinates are fast enough, we can complete the mind-transplant procedure within two hours.”
Shaun was stunned. “What? Two… two hours?”
Shaun was so excited that he didn’t know what to do! He waved his hands and shouted, “Everyone, kneel down and thank Deity Jordan!”
Thud!
Everyone on the plane, including Shaun, knelt down before Jordan!
They knew that the most amazing technology in the world was about to be born!
Chapter 827
The thing that Shaun had been looking forward to for decades had finally been realized. He was unprecedentedly excited!
Shaun shouted, and his subordinates followed suit.
“Deity Jordan is mighty!”
“Deity Jordan is mighty!” novelbin
“Deity Jordan is awesome!”
“Deity Jordan is awesome!”
“Deity Jordan’s name will last forever!”
“Deity Jordan’s name will last forever!”
Everyone shouted in unison. They were full of vigor as they praised Jordan.
Shaun stood up and laughed loudly. “I didn’t call you Daddy for nothing! Deity Jordan’s benevolence to me is really like that of a parent!”
…
Shaun was a demon. With such terrifying technology in his hands, the world would suffer!
Jordan said coldly, “I hope that after I help you complete it, you will release my wife as promised. I don’t want anything to happen again. Otherwise, be prepared to accept the wrath of the gods!”
He was very worried that once he helped Shaun, the man would no longer be useful to him and he would refuse to let Lauren go.
Shaun smiled. “Deity Jordan, you’re overthinking things. I’ll call my subordinates to move Ms. Lauren to the villa at the top of the mountain and let her take a shower, have a massage, drink red wine and listen to music. Then, I’ll invite the best makeup artist and stylist in the US to dress her up. I guarantee that when you two meet again, she will still be radiant, haha!”
Shaun called his subordinates and arranged everything.
The plane accelerated and soon arrived at the small town. After Jordan returned to the research lab, he immediately started the rest of the work and added the remote control factor to the stabilizer.
The ingredients needed for the stabilizer were extremely rare. Basically, the entire world’s supply was all here, and could not be found elsewhere.
As a result, Jordan could be sure that whichever stabilizer Shaun used during the mind-transplant procedure, would be one that he had already tampered with.
Soon, in less than two hours, all the problems regarding the mind-transplant procedure were resolved.
One of Shaun’s doctors said excitedly to him, “Master, theoretically speaking, there’s no problem with the mind-transplant procedure. We can test it on human subjects now!”
Shaun was delighted. “Do it immediately!”
Shaun had already prepared two test subjects to switch minds.
Jordan stood at the side and watched the procedure.
Before long, the doctor said excitedly to Shaun, “Master, it worked!”
Shaun and Jordan also saw that the test subject had successfully woken up and could stand, walk and talk. He was just a little dazed as his mind had yet to completely adapt to his new body. However, as
time passed and he slowly adapted, his mind would be perfectly compatible with his new body.
“Hahahaha, it worked. The procedure that I’ve been developing for half my life has finally been accomplished! Rong Bailun, I’m going to replace you and dominate the world!”
Shaun raised his arms excitedly and shouted.
All of Shaun’s subordinates, including the researchers, knelt on the ground and shouted as well.
“Congratulations, Master! Congratulations, Master! Master will dominate the world!”
How ambitious and terrifying!
Jordan could clearly feel that Shaun was a more terrifying and sinister existence than Rong Bailun. Once Shaun replaced Rong Bailun and obtained the status and capabilities of the Rong family, this world would probably suffer!
Although Rong Bailun was not a good person and was not friendly to Jordan, he did not interfere much with the current world order even though he had the power to control everything.
But if it were Shaun, he would change the world according to his own preference.
Jordan did not say much. Anyway, he could control Shaun at any time.
“Shaun, the experiment is successful now. Let my wife go!”
Shaun turned slightly and looked at Jordan coldly and arrogantly. This gaze was completely different from the one begging Jordan previously. His eyes revealed killing intent!
‘Damn it, this b*stard is going back on his word after using me?’
Jordan was a little flustered, but he maintained his calm expression. “Shaun! Don’t forget that I’m the Deity. Put away your evil thoughts and let my wife go. Don’t forget that I’m the Deity. I’ve already predicted that you would do this!”
Jordan was using a very advanced conversation technique to manipulate Shaun’s thinking.
Shaun had indeed wanted to make things difficult for Jordan, but when he thought about his identity as a Deity, he decided to let it go for the time being.
However, Shaun’s attitude was still arrogant. He began to address Jordan by his first name. “Jordan, you’ve done well in the past six months, but don’t think that’s all. If anything happens in the future, I’ll still look for you.”
Jordan said, “Don’t worry. There is a two-year guarantee. If there are any problems, I’ll deal with them.”
Shaun snorted coldly and gestured to his subordinates, ignoring Jordan.
‘Ungrateful fellow. He is now so rude and cold after using me! He didn’t even thank me!’
Shaun was indeed a despicable person. He had been so friendly to Jordan the past six months, that Jordan had nearly forgotten his true nature.
Fortunately, Shaun kept his word and agreed to let Lauren go.
Led by Shaun’s subordinates, Jordan arrived at the mansion where Lauren was currently at.
Previously, Shaun said that he wanted to hire the best makeup artist and stylist for Lauren. He allowed her to bathe and listen to music in the mansion.
Lauren’s living situation should be much better now.
At the door, Shaun’s subordinate said coldly, “She’s inside. Go in and find her yourself.”
The subordinate also instructed the guards to go back with him. It seemed like they were not planning to stop Jordan from bringing Lauren away.
“At least he kept his word!”
Jordan quickly walked into the mansion.
“Honey, I’m here! Honey, where are you? I’m here to pick you up. We can leave now!”
The mansion was huge. Jordan called out as he walked around.
When he reached the living room, Jordan suddenly heard Lauren’s voice.
“Ah! Go away! Help! Don’t come over!”
Lauren’s voice came from the bathroom. Jordan immediately rushed over!
He saw Lauren taking a bath in the bathtub, and there was a wretched middle-aged man in the bathroom!
The middle-aged man faced Lauren with a wicked smile, completely unaware that Jordan had already arrived at the mansion.
“Hehe, beauty, Master Shaun sent me to give you a full-body massage. I’m the best masseuse in the country. I flew all the way from Houston. Come on, baby, don’t be shy. Your husband will take at least half a day to arrive. I’ll help stimulate your blood flow. I guarantee that you’ll be beautiful when you finally meet your husband!”
Chapter 828
The middle-aged man looked at Lauren and drooled. As he spoke, he looked like he was about to throw himself into the bathtub.
Lauren was really afraid. She couldn’t do anything now. If she got up from the bathtub, wouldn’t this strange man see her naked body?
“Don’t!”
Lauren closed her eyes and kept splashing water on the middle-aged man.
At this critical moment, Jordan rushed over at lightning speed. He grabbed the man with both hands and threw him out of the house towards the window.
Crash!
Jordan was so strong that he threw him out of the house.
The man died on the spot.
“You’re courting death! How dare you touch my wife!”
Jordan was furious. Not only did he hate this man, but he also despised Shaun for sending such an unscrupulous masseuse to harass Lauren!
“Hubby!”
When Lauren saw Jordan, she climbed out of the bathtub and pounced on him, her tears flowing non- stop.
“Hubby, is it you? Is it really you? Am I dreaming? Am I looking at you through someone else’s body?”
……
The two of them had not seen each other in person for more than half a year. Although Lauren had “met” with Jordan before, she had only done so through the bodies of others. Therefore, at this moment, Lauren couldn’t tell if this was real or a dream.
Jordan hugged Lauren tightly. “It’s me. It’s really me. I’ve finally seen you. You’re the real you!”
“Mmm!”
At long last, Lauren beamed happily.
“You’ve lost weight and… you look haggard. But you’re still so beautiful.”
Jordan looked at Lauren. She did look much worse than half a year ago, making Jordan’s heart ache. What had befallen her? Lauren had been born in an elite family in the capital and had never suffered before. But she had just spent six months in suffering.
“Take me out. I want to leave this place. I want to go home.”
“Okay.” Jordan pulled Lauren out of the tub. After she dressed, Jordan immediately boarded a plane with Lauren and flew to the capital.
On the plane, Jordan looked at Lauren’s thin figure and her fragile side profile. His heart ached and he blamed himself. Although he had already said it countless times, Jordan apologized again.
“I’m sorry, honey. I’ve caused you so much suffering. Tell me, how can I make it up to you? I will hold myself to the highest standards when making up to you. I want you to be happy. I have to make up for the grievances you’ve suffered in the past six months!”
Jordan promised as he held Lauren’s hand.
Lauren smiled and gradually returned to her previous elegant self. “I’ve been cooped up in the dark house for the past six months. I’ve been alone every day. I just want to see people now. Many people. I want to go to a crowded and lively place. Hubby, will you accompany me?”
Jordan nodded. “Of course. Since you want it to be lively, how about I organize a party for you?”
“Alright, call Mom, Dad, Victoria and my friends over. I want to see people now. I want to feel a noisy and lively atmosphere!”
Lauren immediately agreed.
Jordan smiled. Since he was going to hold a homecoming party, how could it be as simple as just calling over a few relatives and friends?
Since Lauren wanted it to be lively and grand, Jordan would organize the liveliest and grandest party of all!
Jordan was going to hold the party of the century!
He wanted to invite all the most famous people in the world to celebrate Lauren’s return!
Jordan kissed Lauren. “Honey, go home and rest for the day. From tomorrow onwards, I will hold a week-long homecoming party for you!”
The next day, a trending topic suddenly appeared online: Capital Airport! When many people saw the trending topic, they thought that something had happened at the capital airport. Otherwise, why would it be trending?
Actually, that wasn’t the case. The capital airport was trending because countless celebrities had appeared there today!
The most famous actors, actresses and musicians in the US all appeared one after another. Not only that, but international superstars from all over the world also turned up. For example, Coldplay from the UK and BTS from South Korea.
Everyone went crazy on the internet.
“What the hell! Why are so many big-name celebrities going to the capital today? Is there an awards ceremony?” novelbin
“Please tell me which awards ceremony or event it is. Damn, there are so many big-name celebrities. The ticket must be worth $10,000!”
“Who is able to invite so many celebrities at the same time? Impossible!”
No one knew that these big-name singers were all invited by Jordan to perform for Lauren!
Lauren’s homecoming party would be held today. All the singers she liked had been invited, and they would be singing her favorite songs.
At 7 PM, 80,000 people gathered at a major stadium. They were all holding tickets to Ms. Lauren’s homecoming concert and looked extremely thrilled.
“This Ms. Lauren is too awesome. She’s holding such a magnificent party. She even invited the most popular musicians in the world!”
“The awesome one is her husband, Mr. Steele, right? Such a doting husband… I am so envious!”
Jordan could have restricted access to the party and only invited Lauren’s family and friends. However, Lauren wanted the event to be lively. She also felt that since it was not easy to gather so many big-
name celebrities from all over the world, they might as well offer people a chance to come and watch them.
[And I wonder if I ever cross your mind…]
On the stage, the song “Need You Now” could be heard. Lauren held Jordan’s hand happily and said to him, “Hubby, I used to listen to this song often and think of you!”
[For me it happens all the time.]
Lauren said to Jordan happily, “Hubby, do you remember? The first time I went to your house, I sang this song!”
Jordan smiled and said, “I remember. You drank too much that day and I carried you back to your room.”
“Annoying.”
Lauren hit Jordan with a blissful smile.
However, at this moment, Hailey, who had been arranged to stay in Houston, found out that Jordan had organized a grand homecoming party for Lauren. She was so jealous that she couldn’t bear it!
“Ah, I’m so angry! I’m so angry! She was the one who took the golden carriage in England. She was the one who received the most assets from the Steele family. Now, the most sensational party in the world is being held in her honor! Why should she have these things? She gave birth to a daughter, but I gave birth to a son!
“No, I have to go to the capital too. Otherwise, Jordan will give everything to Lauren and her daughter in the future and not care about us anymore!”
With that, Hailey picked up her son and prepared to leave. However, Jordan’s subordinate, who was in charge of guarding, stopped her. “Without Master’s orders, you can’t bring Master’s child anywhere.”
Hailey put the child down angrily. “Then I’ll go out by myself, alright?”
The subordinate said coldly, “Up to you.”
Chapter 829
Hailey stomped her feet in anger. novelbin
Although she found out she could leave this place on her own, this knowledge made her feel even worse.
She could leave on her own, but not with her son.
This meant that Jordan only cared about his son. He didn’t care about Hailey at all. She could stay if she wanted, leave if she wanted. In the end, after another year, she would not be allowed to continue caring for their child.
“Damn it, Jordan only cares about his son and not me! But he organized such a grand homecoming party for Lauren and invited so many celebrities. He lets Lauren enjoy such unprecedented treatment!” Lauren and Victoria are clearly frauds! They teamed up to lie to you. Jordan, they’re the bad women!”
Hailey now believed that she had a trump card in her hands. She had not used it all this time because she wanted to wait for the right time to make a move.
Hailey snorted coldly. Thinking of Lauren and Victoria, she was filled with disdain. She immediately left the house and took a plane to the capital.
That night, the biggest stadium in the capital welcomed the most explosive night of cheers since it opened. Superstars appeared one after another. In the end, amidst the cheers, Lauren appeared on stage as the host.
All 80,000 concert-goers were forbidden from bringing their phones and any recording equipment into the venue. Therefore, everyone could only watch the performance and not record it. Lauren did not tell them her full name. Jordan would also restrict the internet to prevent Lauren from becoming a trending topic.
After all, Jordan was from a secret family. He had to keep a low profile even when doing such high- profile things.
…
Amid the cheers of 80,000 people, Lauren sang “Endless Love” by Diana Ross and Lionel Richie. Below the stage, Jordan was extremely touched as he listened to Lauren’s gentle singing.
That night, Lauren drank a lot and Jordan also got drunk with her.
When he woke up the next day, it was almost afternoon. Today, Jordan had arranged another grand performance for Lauren.
It was the seventh game of the NBA Finals!
It happened to be the NBA finals season. The Golden State Warriors and the Brooklyn Nets were already on their seventh and final match.
This was an extremely important and grand match. To those who liked basketball, this match was more important than anything else.
Jordan also knew that Lauren liked Stephen Curry from the Warriors, so he called the NBA president, Adam Silver, and asked him to arrange for the seventh match to be played at the Capital One Arena stadium in the capital.
The match time was 7 PM, but by 6 PM, the venue was already packed.
“Thank you, Ms. Lauren! The NBA finals were supposed to be held in another state this year! But you managed to bring it to the capital!”
“F*ck, he is too awesome. He managed to bring the NBA finals to the capital on such short notice. Ms. Lauren’s husband is definitely one of the most powerful people in the world!”
“I heard that with one phone call from him, Adam Silver obediently agreed to his request. All the players will receive an extra million each. Also, he was the one who invited so many big-name celebrities for that massive concert yesterday. He is simply a wife-doting maniac!”
The grand events these two days made Jordan the center of discussion. Some smart people had already sensed that there was a group of elites in this world whose status was above everyone else but kept a very low profile.
Jordan and Lauren sat in the first row.
Dressed in a pink athleisure outfit, Lauren looked like a young university student. She asked, “Hubby, Victoria can’t make it today?”
Jordan said, “Yes, Victoria is still learning ice hockey from her teacher in the south. She can’t come for the time being.”
Lauren said, “Sigh, I know Victoria. It’s actually nothing important. She just doesn’t want to compete with me for time with you. She wants me to have your full attention, so she purposely stayed away.”
Lauren was very smart. That was indeed the case.
Victoria knew that Lauren had not seen Jordan for half a year and must have missed him very much. She found an excuse to be away to give Jordan and Lauren more time alone.
“Victoria is so good.” Lauren was very touched.
Jordan smiled. “Both of you are very good.”
As they spoke, a pair of beautiful figures walked past them.
Jordan looked up and saw that it was Jenny and the superstar, Liza Shelby.
“Jenny?”
Jordan was a little surprised. Why was she here?
The appearance of Jenny and Liza Shelby instantly caused a commotion among the audience.
“Look, isn’t that Jenny? Haha, this is her first time appearing after the photo scandal, right? Tsk tsk tsk, I still can’t forget her figure in the video, haha.”
“Hehe, I have to watch it once every night before I sleep.”
Jenny came to Jordan and said, “Jordan, I saw the note you left for me. I’ve decided to improve my acting skills and work hard. I will definitely make it!”
Jenny looked very motivated.
Jordan smiled and nodded without saying anything.
“Let me introduce you to Liza Shelby. After Liza found out about my incident, she took the initiative to come and comfort me. She even said that she wanted to teach me how to act.”
Jenny introduced Liza Shelby to Jordan.
Jordan suddenly remembered that when he first married Hailey, Jenny had said that Liza Shelby was her idol.
Unexpectedly, Jenny became friends with her idol after joining the entertainment industry.
“Hello.”
Jordan and Lauren greeted Liza Shelby politely.
Not only did Liza Shelby have an extraordinary appearance, but she also had exquisite acting skills and produced a lot of good films. She was also one of the few actresses whom Lauren admired in the country.
At this moment, another familiar voice suddenly sounded.
“Hehe, what a coincidence. Everyone is here.”
Jordan glanced at the voice. It was Shaun!
Beside him was his woman, Paris Gildon.
‘Why is Shaun here?! Damn it, he imprisoned Lauren for half a year. I haven’t settled the score with him yet!’
Lauren panicked when she saw Shaun.
“What are you doing here!”
Jordan said angrily to Shaun.
The game tickets were sold online and Jordan did not place any restrictions. As long as one had money, they could buy tickets to watch the game.
Shaun smiled at Jordan and Lauren. “Don’t worry, I’m not here for you. You can enjoy this match.”
After saying that, Shaun glanced at the celebrity, Liza Shelby. Jordan noticed that Paris Gildon was also looking at Liza Shelby with an unfathomable expression.
Chapter 830
Having served by Shaun’s side every day, Paris Gildon now had the same evil smile on her face, making one shudder!
Jordan suddenly remembered Shaun previously saying that after the mind-transplant procedure was successful, he would let Paris Gildon swap minds with the big star Liza Shelby.
“Could it be…?”
Jordan suddenly had a bad premonition. Shaun and Paris Gildon were not here for Jordan and Lauren, but Liza Shelby? novelbin
Liza Shelby and Paris Gildon greeted each other. The two of them had been celebrities in the entertainment industry for many years, so they naturally knew each other. However, their conversation was filled with tension.
“Paris, I haven’t seen you in a long time. I thought you weren’t in this industry anymore. How have you been recently? If you want to act, I can recommend you a role.”
Liza Shelby said to her very kindly.
However, Paris Gildon’s response was very harsh. “Liza, I’ve already said that I will definitely be more popular than you. This is not the end for me.”
With that, she walked past arrogantly, still holding Shaun’s arm.
Liza Shelby looked awkward. She did have some past conflicts with Paris Gildon.
“Mr. Jordan, Ms. Lauren, nice to meet you. We’ll return to our seats first.”
Liza Shelby did not continue to stand there. She politely bid farewell to Jordan and Lauren.
The couple smiled and nodded at Liza Shelby.
……
After Liza Shelby and Jenny left, Lauren said to Jordan, “Liza Shelby is really not bad. She doesn’t put on any airs as a celebrity. She’s very amiable and isn’t pretentious.”
Jordan nodded. “She’s a rare outstanding artiste in the US entertainment industry.”
After Liza Shelby made her debut, she didn’t hype herself up with meaningless promotional activities. She had always relied on her work to gain recognition. She only had one boyfriend and didn’t have any scandals. Her social media account only had sporadic posts about her cats or some photos of herself without makeup.
Unlike other celebrities, whose social media posts were professionally taken and filled with promotional plugs.
She never bothered to do such things.
Jordan also admired her very much. He really did not want such an outstanding artiste to be replaced by a woman like Paris Gildon.
Soon, the players from both sides came out to warm up, and the scene became very lively. The fans were happy about having the NBA finals held here in the capital, and so were the players.
They were getting paid an extra million each!
And the fans here were all very enthusiastic, as this game was an unexpected treat.
The Capital One Arena stadium in the capital was also a grand venue.
“Ah, the cheers, the crowd, hahaha, what a great atmosphere!”
Stephen Curry, the star player of the Warriors, jumped up happily.
Kevin Durant, the basketball star of the Nets, stretched out his long arms. “It feels great to be here!”
Two star players worth hundreds of millions walked toward Jordan to express their gratitude.
“Dude, this is too cool. This is so cool! The fans here are amazing!”
“Long time no see, Jordan. I didn’t expect you to change wives in just a year.”
“Hey, Kevin, you’re terrible with words.”
Previously, Jordan had met Curry and Durant when he brought Victoria to Japan to watch the Olympics.
After Jordan greeted the two of them, he said to Curry, “My wife wants to play a three-pointer game with you.”
Curry smiled. “No problem!”
Lauren walked to the center of the court and played a three-pointer game with Curry.
Lauren’s three-pointer had always been rather accurate in the past. Unfortunately, she had lost too much weight over the last six months and could not shoot as accurately.
But Curry was very nice about it. He encouraged her to continue trying and taught her how to exert her strength.
The audience was extremely envious.
“I want to be a rich and beautiful woman in my next life so I can get Curry to teach me how to shoot. Boohoo, I’m so envious!”
“After becoming a rich and beautiful woman, you have to know how to choose the right husband. You will never receive such treatment if you don’t have a good husband.”
At this moment, another familiar figure appeared.
Hailey was also here!
When Hailey saw the two superstars teaching Lauren how to shoot under the gazes of tens of thousands of fans, she was bursting with jealousy.
“Previously, it was Victoria. Now, it’s Lauren. When will it be my turn?!”
Hailey walked toward Jordan and said with jealousy, “Jordan, Lauren isn’t worth you doing this for her! She’s a liar. She lied to you!”
Boom!
On the court, Lauren hurriedly put down the ball and walked over when she heard Hailey’s voice.
Jordan was very annoyed when he saw Hailey. He knew that she was very jealous of Lauren. He said, “Hailey, please know your place. Lauren is my wife. Who else would be worth it? You?”
When Hailey saw Lauren walking over, she immediately accused her. “Lauren, tell me, did you lie to Jordan?! Did you hide something from him?!”
Lauren’s expression changed drastically!
Seeing this, Jordan was taken aback by Lauren’s reaction. After all, Jordan knew how to read people’s expressions very well.
Lauren’s reaction clearly indicated that Hailey was correct!
‘How can that be… does Hailey really know something?”
Over the past year, Hailey had become smarter and sharper. She was no longer as ignorant as before and did not dare to provoke Jordan casually. If she didn’t know something, she would never dare to anger Jordan like this.
Hailey snorted. “What? You don’t dare to admit it? Hmph, to think that Jordan loves you so much. He invited all the celebrities in the world to celebrate your return, but you kept a secret from him. Are you worthy of his love? Are you worthy of such treatment?!”
Jordan immediately grabbed Hailey’s wrist and exerted some force. “Hailey, if you don’t want to lose face in front of so many people, leave this place immediately. Otherwise, I might not be able to resist hitting you!”
Hailey’s slender body was in pain from Jordan’s grip. He threw her aside and shot his subordinates a look, indicating them to bring Hailey out.
As Hailey was dragged out, she was still calling out to Jordan. “Jordan, I came to tell you out of goodwill. Lauren is the liar. She’s the bad woman. She and Victoria are inferior to me!”
Hailey’s words made Jordan feel uneasy.
What exactly was Hailey referring to?!
What was Lauren hiding from him?
Could it be that… Lauren had something going on with another man?
Could it be that… Lauren had an affair?!
Chapter 831
Could it be that Lauren had cheated before?
Otherwise, why would Hailey be so arrogant as to criticize Lauren?
Hailey dared to speak to her so confidently, it must be because Lauren had made the same mistake as her. Moreover, Lauren did not dare to refute her!
Jordan looked at Lauren’s face. She indeed looked guilty!
‘Damn it! Is that really the case? Has Lauren… really wronged me?’
Jordan couldn’t believe it, but all his deductions seemed to be leaning in that direction!
‘If Lauren cheated, when was it?’
Jordan surmised that the past six months when she was imprisoned by Shaun, was the most likely time for Lauren to have an affair.
On one hand, Lauren was controlled by Shaun and had no choice. She might not be able to resist if Shaun wanted to do anything to her. On the other hand, Lauren had not seen anyone during that period. She was at her loneliest and most vulnerable.
However, Jordan quickly rejected this possibility.
…
It was impossible for Hailey to know if Lauren had cheated on him in the past six months!
There was no direct connection between Shaun and Hailey!
In other words, Lauren’s affair must have happened before she was caught by Shaun!
“Before that…”
Jordan really couldn’t understand how Lauren could have cheated before she was caught by Shaun.
Lauren looked at Jordan guiltily and said, “Hubby, I…”
It was obvious that she wanted to explain something to Jordan, but she couldn’t bring herself to do so.
Now, the NBA finals were about to begin. It was going to be the most exhilarating match of the year and everyone was extremely excited about it.
Jordan did not want to ruin everyone’s mood because of this. He did all these things for Lauren to make her happy. Even if she might have had an affair, he still hoped that she would be happy!
Jordan suddenly realized that he had double standards for Lauren and Hailey.
Hailey’s adultery was unforgivable. It was unforgivable. She was a b*tch.
However, when it came to Lauren, Jordan could not bring himself to hate her.
Especially when he saw that the once beautiful Lauren now looked a little haggard and gloomy. Jordan felt only pity and heartache for her.
Therefore, Jordan chose not to pursue the matter and instead changed the topic. “Honey, who do you think will win today? Who will win the championship?”
Lauren’s nervous expression disappeared because of Jordan’s kindness. A blissful flush appeared on her slightly haggard face.
Lauren smiled and said, “I choose the Golden State Warriors. Stephen Curry has never won an FMVP. I hope he can win one.”
Jordan nodded and put his arm around Lauren’s shoulder. He smiled. “I’m the same as you, darling. I also think the Warriors will win. When Curry takes the FMVP later, I’ll let you go on stage to give him this award.”

Lauren covered her face excitedly. “Really? Is that appropriate? I married you. Shouldn’t we keep a low profile?”
There were hundreds of millions of fans paying attention to this match. If Lauren were to present the award to Curry, she would probably be famous all over the world. novelbin
As a secret family, the Steeles had always kept a low profile and avoided appearing in public like this.
Jordan said, “I won’t let the media broadcast that scene, and there won’t be any news reports. Don’t worry.”
Meanwhile, Shaun and Paris Gildon also talked about this competition. The two of them had come today to kidnap Liza Shelby and watch the competition live.
Shaun was also a basketball fan, but his favorite star was Magic Johnson. Paris Gildon was very happy today because she knew that she would soon become Liza Shelby, the most dazzling female celebrity in the US entertainment industry.
Paris Gildon held Shaun’s arm and asked, “Master Shaun, which team do you support?”
Shaun smiled and looked at the players on the field. On the Warriors’ side were Curry and Thompson. On the Nets’ side were Durant, Owen and Harden.
Shaun smiled. “Thompson suffered an Achilles tendon rupture and was supposed to be out this season. But Jordan secretly sent a doctor from the Steele family to treat him. No matter what, Jordan is
the Deity. He will definitely support the Warriors and whoever e supports will win. There’s no suspense.”
“Besides, although the three giants of the Nets seem to be powerful, Durant is old and Owen always loses the ball. Harden is also nothing special. He isn’t really a top-notch talent. On the contrary, Curry has been quite explosive recently. I support the Warriors!”
With these two elite personnel supporting the Warriors, the match indeed ended as they expected.
In the end, Stephen Curry annihilated his opponent with a slam dunk from the penalty line and led the team to be the champions.
At that moment, all the fans in the world were in an uproar.
“F*ck! Curry can actually dunk from the penalty line!”
“He’s really the top Golden State Warriors player now!”
In reality, Curry’s jumping skills were just average and he was also already in his 30s. It was impossible for him to do a slam dunk from the penalty line.
He was currently so explosive because of Jordan’s help.
In the end, Lauren went on stage and presented the FMVP trophy to her favorite star player.
After the match ended, Jordan and Lauren returned to the villa to rest. They showered separately. Jordan suddenly felt uneasy when Lauren walked over in her lace nightie.
Looking at his wife’s graceful figure, Jordan felt terrible when he thought about how she might have cheated on him!
Apart from Jordan, no man in this world was qualified to have her!
If it were an ordinary couple, the husband would definitely question his wife. However, Jordan did not. He still chose not to mention this.
He trusted Lauren. From the day he married her, he trusted this woman 100%.
Lauren had suffered too much for him. Jordan had no right to interrogate her!
When Lauren got into bed, Jordan smiled at her. “You must be tired today. Go to sleep.”
After saying this, Jordan turned off the bedside lamp and lay down to sleep.
Click.
Unexpectedly, after Jordan turned off the lights, Lauren turned on the lights on her side. She turned to Jordan with a serious expression.
“Hubby, I know you suspect that I had an affair!”
