Chapter 891
After being electrocuted, Shaun felt dizzy. What was worse was that it was very difficult for him to breathe. He felt like he was about to die at any moment.
The electric shock from the Rong family was clearly different from ordinary electric shocks.
Rong Huangde glared at Shaun. “You b*stard, you only know how to hide in the dark. Die in pain. You’re not worthy of taking the antidote.”
Shaun hurriedly asked Jordan for help. “Deity Jordan, you have the Mirakuru serum to protect you. You’ll be fine after resting for a while. Can you give me the antidote?”
Jordan hesitated for a moment with the antidote in hand. Although he felt unwell and weak all over, he was still able to endure it. But Jordan could not be sure if the pill was really an antidote.
Now that Rong Huangde knew that Jordan was a Deity, would he give him a drug to control him?
Therefore, Jordan tossed the pill to Shaun. He wanted to use Shaun as a test subject.
Shaun immediately swallowed it. Soon, his breathing and complexion improved.
Rong Huangde smiled. “Hehe, so the Deity doesn’t dare to take my pill. Are you worried that I’ll give you poison?”
In return, Jordan said, “I don’t need it. As long as I can get out, with my predictive ability, I can develop an antidote myself.”
Rong Huangde nodded. “Good, you have a backbone. You have the style of a Deity! Ah, I didn’t expect to meet two Deities in my life! You must have helped Shaun with his mind-transplant procedure, right?”
Jordan didn’t deny it. “That b*stard Shaun kidnapped my wife and threatened me. I had no choice.”
After taking the antidote, Shaun felt a lot better. He immediately crawled to Rong Huangde and knelt down to grab his leg.
……
“Master Rong, please let me live! If you want, I can be your son and be filial to you on behalf of Rong Bailun. If you’re unwilling, I can scram as far as possible. I promise I won’t appear in front of you again!”
“Sigh.”
Rong Huangde was no longer angry. Instead, he sighed.
“It’s heaven’s will. It’s all heaven’s will. I killed your father and uncles. Now, you killed my son. It’s really karma!”
Rong Huangde sighed heavily.
Shaun and Jordan were stunned.
Shaun asked in disbelief, “What? You killed my father and uncle 30 years ago?”
When Shaun was about 10 years old, something happened to his family. His father and some uncles all died. His mother fled the village with him and his wife-to-be.
Shaun had no idea that it was Rong Huangde who killed them!
“Why did you kill them?” Jordan asked.
Rong Huangde replied, “I didn’t intend to kill them. I just wanted to know how the Handley family obtained their methods.”
“I kept going back in time to find them. I used all sorts of methods, but unfortunately, I didn’t get any results. Deity Jordan, in this world, there are two things that confuse me. One is the prediction ability of a Deity, and the other is the Handley family’s techniques.
“These two abilities are beyond science. They can’t be explained by science at all. I’ve been tracing the origins of the world. I believe that as long as we figure out these two things, we might know the true meaning of the entire world!”
Jordan recalled that the books in the basement of the Rong family residence were all related to prophecy and the Handley family’s hometown of Cocodrie.
Rong Huangde said to Jordan, “Deity Jordan, I sincerely invite you to join me. Go back to the past and figure out the origin of the Handley family’s methods, as well as the origin of the Deity. I’m just an ordinary old man. Even if I return to the past, the things I can do are limited.
“But you’re different. You’re a Deity. You can predict the future. I believe that as long as you’re willing to do it, you will definitely succeed in discovering the secrets!”
No wonder Rong Huangde suddenly became so polite to Jordan. He wanted Jordan to help him.
But Jordan shook his head. “No, I won’t return to the past. I have two wives now. No, three. If Lauren and Victoria agree to accept Lota, I will have three wives. I have three beautiful wives, a son and a daughter. I want to stay here with them. I won’t take any risks heading back to the past.”
Although Jordan did not know much about time travel, he knew that it must be a very risky thing to do.
What if he traveled back in time and couldn’t return?
What would happen to his three wives and two children?
Rong Huangde became very angry. “How can you give up on such a great thing because of some mortal relations? We’re exploring the ultimate mystery of the world! Don’t you want to know how your power came about? Don’t you want to know who taught the Handley family their spells?
“Don’t you want to live past 80?”
Jordan was a little curious. “Mr. Rong, you seem to be the same age as my grandfather. Why aren’t you affected by the curse?”
Rong Huangde smiled. “When I was 70 years old, I returned to the past and seldom came back. I haven’t spent more than 71 years in this present world.”
Jordan was shocked. He didn’t expect Rong Huangde to use such a method.
Rong Huangde continued to persuade him. “Think about it. If you return to the past and help me find out these secrets, you might be able to remove the curse of the eight great families. Then you and your children can live a long life!”
But Jordan still shook his head and refused. “It’s enough for me to live to 80 years old. I don’t even want to live that long. I won’t have any regrets even if I only live for 60 years. The most important thing for a person is to live an exciting and enriching life. Sorry, I won’t travel back in time. I want to be with the people I love in this world and this time.”
Rong Huangde looked disappointed. He sighed. “Alright, since you don’t want to, I won’t force you. However, I believe that you will agree one day. Because as long as people are alive, they will have regrets. No one can endure the temptation of returning to the past to make amendments.”
Jordan had regained some strength and slowly stood up. “Mr. Rong, can I leave?”
Rong Huangde stretched out his hand. “Deity, do as you please. All of our eight great families’ achievements are thanks to you. I will never dare to be disrespectful to you.”
Jordan nodded. “Alright, sorry to disturb you. We’ll meet again if fate allows.”
Seeing that Jordan was about to leave, Shaun struggled to his feet. “Mr. Rong, take care. We’ll meet again if fate allows!”
Swish.
Rong Huangde grabbed Shaun like an eagle catching a chick.
“Good son, you cannot leave.”
Chapter 892
Shaun had switched minds with Rong Bailun and even killed him. How could he still dare to stay by Rong Huangde’s side?
Even if Rong Huangde did kill Shaun, he would torture him to the end of time!
Not only that, Shaun’s demonic techniques were completely useless against Rong Huangde.
Although Shaun was younger than Rong Huangde, the old man was covered in high-tech weapons. He could blast Shaun to pieces with a single chip bomb.
Moreover, the AI system Dr. T, and the subordinates outside would probably only listen to Rong Huangde’s commands.
Although Shaun had transformed into Rong Bailun, he had no chance of winning against his father.
As a result, Shaun pleaded with Jordan for help.
“Deity Jordan, don’t leave. Save me. We came together. We have to leave together! Jordan, you can’t be so heartless! You were the one who insisted on coming over in the middle of the night. If it was up to me, I would come at another time and be fine! Jordan, you b*stard, don’t leave me here!”
Shaun kept pleading with Jordan for help. He even chided him. Jordan ignored him and walked out.
Rong Huangde smiled as he looked at Jordan’s back view.
“Jordan, you will definitely come looking for me again.”
…
After leaving the fort, Jordan took a plane back to Chaoyang Park.
……
Jordan had just suffered the effects of the explosive chip and electric shock. His entire body was extremely weak and he kept vomiting blood. However, compared to the damage to his body, the mental shock he suffered was even greater.
Jordan sat on the soft seat of the plane and looked out the window at the starry night sky. He sighed.
“The Rong family is indeed the head of the eight great families. I thought that after dealing with Rong Bailun, I would be able to control the Rong family. I didn’t expect the real master to be Rong Huangde. To think that the technology level of the Rong family has already reached an unfathomable level. They can actually create a space-time revolving door that can travel to the past!
“If I am only 20 years old and had no wife or children, perhaps I wouldn’t be able to resist giving it a try. But now, I have three women I love, as well as a daughter and son. I can’t take this risk. I want to stay in this world and live a happy life.”
Jordan had already decided that after returning to Chaoyang Park, he would bring Lota back to the US and live a happy life with Lauren and Victoria.
“Rong Huangde, you can continue being the number one person in the world. I just want to live a simple and happy life!”
Soon, the plane arrived at Chaoyang Park.
Before Lota and the others woke up, Jordan and the researchers developed a drug that could treat electric shocks.
Jordan felt much better after taking the drug.
When it was time for breakfast, everyone gathered again.
Ming La asked Jordan, “Mr. Jordan, why isn’t my husband here? Did he go out with you?”
Jordan replied, “Mr. Rong went to Fort Rong. You can call him.”
Now that Shaun was in Rong Huangde’s hands, he wondered if the old man would let him live. If Rong Huangde killed Shaun, then Ming La and her children would lose a husband and father.
If it were Jordan, he would have kept Shaun alive.
At the very least, Ming La and her children would not suffer the loss of a husband and father.
Ming La smiled. “No need. He always does this.”
Jordan said, “Mrs. Rong, we’ve already taken up so much of your time and hospitality. We should leave.”
Lota said coquettishly, “Jordan, let’s not leave so early. Let’s enjoy ourselves in Beijing for two days. Besides, the food at Mrs. Rong’s place is quite delicious. It suits my taste.”
Jordan smiled. “Why? You don’t want to return to the US with me and be my wife?”
Lota’s mouth opened in surprise, then she jumped up in excitement.
“Ahhh, really? You’re bringing me back to the US?”
Jordan nodded. “Yes, I want to bring you to the US so that you can meet Lauren and Victoria.” novelbin
A sense of happiness surged in Lota’s heart.
“Yes, yes. I have to prepare two big gifts. I must make Lauren and Victoria accept me!”
Geng Anli smiled and congratulated the couple.
“Congratulations. You must invite me to your wedding. I must be there to congratulate you.”
Ming La also said, “Congratulations, Mr. Jordan, Ms. Schmid. You two are really a match made in heaven. This is a joyous occasion for the eight great families. Bailun and I will also attend your wedding with our children, to offer you our blessings.”
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Rong Bingshao came down the stairs and glared at Jordan.
“I won’t go! This person killed Uncle Ban. He doesn’t deserve happiness!”
“Shut up!”
Ming La hurriedly reprimanded him before turning to Jordan. “Deity Jordan, my son had a good relationship with Ban Luming and is overly upset at his death. Please don’t hold it against him.”
Jordan stared into Rong Bingshao’s eyes. As a child from the world’s top family, Rong Bingshao had a lot of pride.
However, his mother usually disciplined him well. In addition, he was still young and did not cause too much trouble like the second-generation heirs of other families.
Rong Bingshao’s eyes were filled with hatred as he glared at Jordan.
Jordan knew that this little fellow must hate him very much.
However, Jordan could not discipline him.
His grandfather was too powerful!
“He’s just a child. I won’t hold it against him,” said Jordan with a smile.
Jordan and the others did not linger on. They boarded their plane and left.
From there, Jordan and Lota took the same plane to the US capital. Lauren and Victoria were staying in a villa in the capital. He had called them in advance and told them that he was coming back.
Jordan’s plane landed at the villa in the afternoon.
Lauren, Victoria, Dragon, Salvatore and even Hailey were waiting at the door to welcome them.
“Hubby!”
Victoria was the first to run over and hug Jordan.
Victoria’s eyes were red from crying.
“Hubby, I saw the news and the photos sent over from China. They said that you guys fought very hard. I was so afraid that something would happen to you.”
Jordan wiped Victoria’s tears and said gently, “Silly wife, I’m a Deity. How could anything happen to me?”
Victoria said, “It’s not as if Deities can’t die. They can die if they are hit by a cannonball. Why didn’t you let Dragon help you? Instead, you let him stay with me. I would have felt better if Dragon was by your side to protect you.”
Jordan said, “Victoria, I was more worried about you. Only by ensuring that you’re fine can I kill enemies on the battlefield in peace. Otherwise, no matter how well protected I am, I would still be worried.”
Hearing this, Victoria was extremely touched. She stood on tiptoes and kissed Jordan…
Chapter 893
Victoria was dressed very beautifully today. She still had the flair of a CEO.
Dressed in a simple shirt, an ordinary-looking, short and fat woman would look vulgar in it. But with Victoria’s tall figure, she looked especially elegant in it. She was also wearing a flesh-colored short skirt, revealing her fair legs.
Although Victoria was already over 30 years old, her legs looked like those of a teenage girl. She was too beautiful!
Jordan had experienced so much. He felt very happy to be kissing Victoria again. Even after knowing Victoria for so long, Jordan still found it very enjoyable to kiss her.
This was the charm of a woman like Victoria!
At this moment, Lauren stepped forward jealously.
“Hubby, it looks like you still like Victoria the most. However, Victoria is indeed worthy of your love. I won’t be jealous, haha.”
Jordan walked toward Lauren and hugged her. “Lauren, I’m also worried about your safety. I love you too.” novelbin
Everyone felt that Jordan loved Victoria more because he had sent Dragon to guard her 24/7. But it was because Jordan had predicted that Victoria’s life would be in danger.
Of course, if Jordan had to choose the one he loved the most among his women, it would indeed be Victoria. She was more important to him than Lauren.
Seeing Jordan being intimate with his two wives, Lota felt a little awkward. She was already prepared to be the third wife and did not mind Jordan’s intimate relationship with the others.
Lota walked forward with two exquisite gifts.
“Lauren, Victoria, I brought some of our Schmid family’s inventions for you. They’re all excellent skincare products and health supplements. See if you like them.”
……
Lauren and Victoria both felt a little pressured when they saw Lota. They knew that this sweet girl who looked like a Barbie doll was the head of the secret Schmid family!
Her status was much higher than theirs.
Victoria and Lauren felt too embarrassed to accept the gifts.
Victoria said, “Ms. Schmid, you are our esteemed guest in the US. We can’t accept your gifts.”
Lauren added. “That’s right, Ms. Schmid. I heard from my husband that you’ve been helping him with the eight great families. We should be the ones thanking you and giving you gifts.”
The two of them thought that Jordan still only treated Lota as his younger sister.
Lota pressed the gifts into their hands. “Please don’t stand on ceremony. We’ll be interacting often in the future. Just accept it.”
With that said, Lauren and Victoria did not refuse anymore.
“Ms. Schmid, please come in,” Victoria invited Lota to come in.
Jordan and Lota entered.
At this moment, Jordan noticed that Hailey was also in the villa. He asked curiously, “Why are you here?”
Hailey was impeccably decked out today. Of everyone at present, she was the one who cared the most about appearances.
But so what if she was the most beautiful among these beauties? No matter how good-looking a woman was, she would not attract a man like Jordan without a good character.
Hailey replied, “Didn’t you say that the Rong family would assassinate us? Dragon and Salvatore gathered us in one place to protect us. I heard that you were coming back to the US, so I came along.”
Jordan nodded. “Oh, it’s alright now. The Rong family won’t attack us anymore. You can leave now and go wherever you please. No one will kill you and the child. Don’t worry.”
Hailey lowered her head and rubbed her hands.
She also knew that this villa in the capital was where Jordan, Lauren and Victoria lived.
She had no right to live here.
Hailey whispered. “I haven’t eaten yet…”
Jordan was speechless. It seemed like Hailey wanted to stay here a little longer.
Whatever. Jordan had long learned to ignore this woman. Ignoring her, Jordan walked straight into the living room of the villa.
The moment they entered, they smelled the delicious fragrance of food. The greedy little Lota immediately swallowed her saliva and became excited.
“Wow, it smells so good. Have you guys prepared a meal?”
Victoria smiled. “I prepared a few dishes myself. I hope Ms. Schmid likes my cooking.”
Lota grinned. “Victoria, you’re amazing. You can even cook. I’m sure I’ll love it!”
Jordan was very happy to see Lota and Victoria getting along very well. He was going to officially announce the news regarding Lota to them today.
Inwardly, Jordan was a little uneasy. He didn’t know if they would agree. Lota had almost died outside the fort because of him. Jordan couldn’t bear to abandon her again.
Soon enough, they all sat at the dining table and started eating.
Lota ate happily, while Hailey only drank water. She only picked up a couple of spoonfuls and ate very little.
It seemed like she wasn’t that hungry after all.
Hailey suddenly asked, “Jordan…, why did you bring Lota home this time? Moreover, you two… seem to be very close.”
Victoria and Lauren both thought that Jordan and Lota were just ordinary “siblings”. But Hailey had sharp eyes. She could tell at a glance that the two of them looked especially intimate.
After all, Hailey and Jordan had been husband and wife for three years. They had interacted with each other for a longer time, so she could detect more about Jordan.
Jordan stopped eating and officially introduced Lota to Victoria and Lauren.
Holding Lota’s hand tightly, Jordan faced Victoria and Lauren.
“Victoria, Lauren, I want to tell you something. I’ve already promised Lota that I’ll be with her. Lota is a very innocent and kind girl, and she has always liked me. Initially, I only treated her as my younger
sister. However, during this period of time, she almost died from poisonous gas because of me. I have feelings for her and want to protect her, just like I want to protect you.
“Victoria, Lauren, can you accept her?”
At this, Victoria and Lauren instantly stopped eating too. They really did not expect their husband to bring a third wife home.
Lauren looked at Lota with jealousy in her eyes. Before Lota appeared, Lauren was the noblest woman Jordan had ever met. She was from the capital, and her father and grandfather were powerful men who could be of great help to Jordan in the US.
Lauren appreciated everything the Howard family could offer. This gave her the confidence of playing the role of Jordan’s wife. However, after knowing about the secret families, Lauren realized that the Howard family was nothing compared to the eight secret families. With all this in mind, Lauren and the Howard family could not really help Jordan at all.
“Lota is young, beautiful and kind. And like Hubby, she’s a noble descendant from a secret family. In the future, she will definitely be able to help you in many ways. She can help you in things I can’t do for you. I’m willing to accept Lota.”
Jordan and Lota were overjoyed. Lauren had agreed!
She had accepted Lota!
Jordan and Lota turned toward Victoria, waiting for her answer!
Chapter 894
Lota held Jordan’s hand, her palms sweating nervously.
One of Jordan’s two wives had agreed.
‘Since Lauren has agreed, Victoria would agree too, right?’
That was what Lota thought. She had heard from Jordan that Lauren and Victoria were very good women. Hailey was the only exception.
If Hailey was still Jordan’s wife, Lota guessed that she would definitely not agree.
Victoria looked very grim. A second ago, she was still very happy. However, Victoria’s expression immediately changed when she heard about Jordan and Lota.
Victoria was silent for a long time before she finally spoke.
“I can’t accept this!”
Jordan and Lota felt as if they had been dealt a heavy blow.
Victoria continued, “Hubby, I can’t accept you marrying another wife. Since I was a young girl, I’ve always dreamed of being together with a man for life. We only have each other. That’s the love I pursue and dream of. Lauren gave birth to your daughter a long time ago, so I couldn’t object to the fact that you married her.
“But this is the limit to my acceptance. I can’t accept more. You have so many women. I don’t like sharing you with many women! Hubby, I know you come from a secret family. Your status is higher than ours, and you’re a Deity. Logically speaking, it will be reasonable even if you have a harem of 3,000 beauties. But I can’t accept it. I just can’t accept the man I love having so many women!”
Jordan gradually let go of Lota’s hand.
Before coming, Jordan had told Lota that he would only marry her and be with her if both Victoria and Lauren agreed.
……
If they didn’t agree, Jordan wouldn’t go against their wishes.
Lota lowered her head, feeling very sad.
As a woman, how could she not understand Victoria’s feelings?
If Jordan had met Lota first and married her first, she would not have agreed to let him marry another woman. She might allow her man to have other women and mistresses outside.
However, she would not allow him to marry them.
This was a direct challenge to her status as a wife.
Silence descended.
Lota felt very embarrassed. She felt as if she had been humiliated.
However, she was still a very gracious woman. She did not use her noble status to belittle Victoria.
Lota said gently, “I’m sorry, Victoria, Lauren. I’ve upset you. I… I’ll leave now.”
Lota got up and was about to leave.
Jordan did not move.
According to their agreement, if either Victoria or Lauren objected, Jordan would not keep Lota by his side.
He was also very helpless!
However, at this moment, Hailey suddenly stood up. She got up and walked towards Lota. She grabbed her arm and stopped her.
Hailey said, “Lota, don’t leave. You’re so beautiful and cute. You’re also from a secret family. In the past year, you’ve helped Jordan countless times. The rest of us can’t compare to you!”
“I agree to you being with Jordan!”
Jordan was rendered momentarily speechless, before saying angrily, “Hailey, are you crazy? What’s the use of you agreeing? Did I ask for your opinion?”
Hailey felt very aggrieved and wanted to argue with Jordan like before. However, given Jordan’s current status, Hailey could only swallow her words.
Victoria saw Hailey purposely stepping forward to go against her.
These two women, who had been enemies since Orlando, were like firecrackers.
Victoria also scolded Hailey. “Hailey, what right do you have to accept Lota? You’re not Jordan’s wife at all!”
Hailey replied proudly, “How am I not? We even held a beach wedding in the Maldives! We exchanged kisses at the wedding! Lauren has also held a wedding with Jordan. You’re the only one here who hasn’t held a wedding with him, right? Hmph, I wonder who is the one who isn’t qualified.”
Almost immediately, Jordan stood up for Victoria.
“Hailey, did you not hear me clearly? I was forced to attend that beach wedding. It doesn’t count. You and I were completely finished the moment you cheated with Cayden!”
Victoria couldn’t help chiding Hailey.
“Hailey, you’re really the most shameless and narcissistic woman I’ve ever seen in this world! What’s in your brain? Are you that arrogant? You believe that you can disregard anything just because you’re beautiful? You betrayed Jordan twice! Oh, no, including Lauren’s brother, it was three times!
“You cheated on him three times during your marriage. You slept with other men while married to Jordan. How can you have the cheek to appear in front of Jordan after doing such shameless things? This is my home. Please get lost immediately! I don’t want to see a b*tch who hurt my husband!”
Being scolded and humiliated by Victoria, Hailey’s face turned red with anger.
Hailey said angrily, “Victoria, what right do you have to scold me?! You’re no better than me!”
Victoria stood up angrily. “I don’t dare to boast about how outstanding I am as a wife and how much I can help Jordan. But at the very least, I’m not like you, who cheated on your husband!” novelbin
Unexpectedly, Hailey didn’t feel chastised. Instead, she laughed loudly.
Hailey smiled smugly. “Haha, you believe that you’ve never betrayed Jordan?”
Victoria grew even angrier. “Of course not! I am not as despicable as you!”
Hailey said, “Victoria, don’t make yourself sound so innocent! You slept with an 18-year-old boy!”
Victoria was furious. “You… you’re spouting nonsense! How dare you slander me?”
Jordan was also furious. He slammed the table angrily.
“Hailey, if you continue to spout nonsense here, I’ll slap you until your face is disfigured!”
Jordan was very angry. Hailey was too detestable. Over the past few weeks, Jordan felt that Hailey’s personality had improved. But she had returned to her former self today. In fact, she was even worse than before, slandering Victoria!
She knew that Jordan would never stand for this.
Hailey was not afraid at all. “Jordan, I’m not spouting nonsense! I’m not slandering your good wife! If you don’t believe me, you can ask Lauren.”
At those words, Jordan and Victoria looked at Lauren.
To their surprise, Lauren lowered her head and avoided eye contact, not daring to respond!
Chapter 895
When Jordan saw Lauren’s fearful expression, he instantly panicked.
Whether it was the psychology books he had read or his intuition as a Deity, Jordan could sense from Lauren’s expression that she was hiding something!
Lauren’s guilty conscience and Hailey’s certainty…
Could it be that Hailey was right?
Had Victoria betrayed Jordan?
Victoria was very angry at Hailey’s slander. She had a clear conscience ever since she had gotten together with Jordan. She knew that she never had any ambiguous relationship with a man other than Jordan.
Not only that, she didn’t know any 18-year-old boys!
Victoria asked Lauren, “Lauren, do you think I slept with an 18-year-old boy? Am I that kind of promiscuous and shameless woman?!”
However, as Victoria’s good friend, Lauren lowered her head and did not respond.
The response left Victoria shocked. “Lauren, do you really think I’m the kind of woman who would betray our husband? So you think of me that way too!”
Seeing how agitated Victoria was, Lauren hurriedly stood up and explained, “Victoria, of course I know you’re a good woman and a good wife. I’ve always treated you as a role model. Why would I view you as the same kind of woman as Hailey?”
Victoria said aggrievedly, “Then why aren’t you willing to stand up for me? How can you let that vicious woman slander me and say I slept with a young boy!”
Lauren lowered her head guiltily again, not knowing how to respond.
……
Hailey said smugly, “Hmph, Lauren, are you still unwilling to tell the truth? How long are you going to lie to Jordan?! You’re such a good wife. Victoria cheated on Jordan, and as Jordan’s most trusted wife, you helped her hide it. Are you still worthy to be his wife?!”
Hailey insisted that Victoria had betrayed Jordan. It seemed like she had concrete evidence. Otherwise, she would never dare slander Victoria like this in front of Jordan.
Jordan was now a Deity. Insulting and spreading rumors about the wife of a Deity… even if Hailey had borne Jordan a son, he would never let her off!
Lauren was also filled with self-hatred. She realized that Jordan had already sensed something amiss, but he was just keeping quiet about it.
Lauren asked Hailey, “How did you know?!”
Hailey smiled. “Your good brother told me.”
Victoria’s expression immediately changed.
“Lauren, what do you mean? Why is Hailey so determined to say that I cheated on Jordan? I never cheated on him! Do you know something that even I don’t know? Tell me what happened!”
Victoria was originally very confident because she knew that her love for Jordan was absolute. She had a clear conscience and had never done anything with another man.
However, Victoria gradually realized that something was wrong.
Hailey, Lauren and even Lauren’s younger brother seemed to know something about her that Victoria herself did not know.
With a furtive glance at Victoria, Lauren then shot a look at Jordan. She knew that it was useless to hide it any longer.
Lauren took a deep breath and said, “I’m sorry for hiding this from you guys for so long. Hailey is speaking the truth.”
Boom!
Jordan and Victoria felt an explosion go off in their heads!
Hailey spoke the truth?
Did Victoria really sleep with an 18-year-old boy?
Did Victoria betray Jordan?
Victoria was completely stunned. Her face turned pale and her body stiffened. She kept shaking her head.
“No… no… I didn’t. I didn’t. I don’t know any 18-year-old boys at all. Lauren, why would you say something like this? What happened? Why don’t I… I know anything about it?”
Victoria knew that Lauren would never collude with Hailey to slander her. She was not that kind of woman. On the contrary, Lauren was a good woman who would rather sacrifice herself to make Victoria happy.
Therefore, she believed Lauren’s words without a doubt.
However, Victoria really didn’t remember anything.
Lauren asked, “Victoria, do you still remember how Shaun’s wife controlled your body more than half a year ago?”
Realization dawned upon Victoria. “I remember, I remember… I was controlled by that woman. That woman knocked me out. I don’t remember anything after that… Don’t tell me…?”
Lauren nodded. “Shaun’s wife controlled your body. Not only did she use your body to kill people, but she also… Slept with an 18-year-old boy in a hotel.”
Boom!
Victoria and Jordan nearly fell over when they heard this.
To this loving couple, it was like a lightning bolt from nowhere! In an instant, Jordan suddenly recalled the scene of him killing Shaun’s wife, Clara.
At that time, Jordan had sneaked into Clara’s room while wearing the invisibility cloak.
He then stabbed Clara in the heart!
However, before Clara died, she revealed a strange expression when she saw Jordan’s face. This strange expression had always puzzled Jordan. All along, he did not understand why she had that expression.
When Clara saw Jordan, she smiled and said, “Darling, did you not eat today? Go harder.”
At that time, Jordan was furious and stabbed her a few more times. However, Clara was still not afraid and allowed Jordan to stab her with increasing force.
Now, Jordan finally understood that Clara’s words were not directed at him!
Clara had been controlling Victoria’s body to be with the 18-year-old boy at the hotel!
She was saying those words to that boy!
Jordan clenched his fists. Thinking of Victoria’s situation back then, he felt like he was about to go crazy!
“Damn that Clara!!”
Meanwhile, Victoria looked like she had lost her soul. She had been so confident that she would never betray Jordan. She had felt so righteous! novelbin
But now, she was like a deflated balloon.
At that time, she had been controlled by Clara then so she really didn’t know what happened. Clara had even dared to commit murder, what would this be to her? Lauren was not lying!
Victoria started crying.
“I… I actually… betrayed my husband?”
Hailey was very smug. “Hmph, Victoria, you finally know what you did, right? We’ve both cheated on our husband. You have no right to look down on me anymore! Didn’t you say previously that I am not qualified to be Jordan’s wife because I cheated? So now, you’re not qualified to be his wife either!”
Chapter 896
At Hailey’s provocative words, Victoria kept crying. Her tears fell like sparkling raindrops.
She had always been a domineering CEO.
She was high and mighty and confident.
She had a clear conscience, so she felt very righteous.
However, now that she knew that something like that had happened to her, she no longer had the confidence to speak dominantly.
She had become a dirty woman like Hailey. The kind of woman she had once despised the most.
Jordan was also feeling very distressed. Victoria didn’t remember what happened at all, but Jordan now knew!
Recalling Clara’s words, Jordan felt extremely upset!
Jordan loved Victoria the most. She was beautiful and elegant, but she was ruined by Clara, that despicable woman! However, Jordan was not in the mood to be angry about this. His heart ached on seeing Victoria cry!
Hurrying forward, he took Victoria’s hand. “Victoria, don’t cry. I don’t care about any of that. You’re still my wife! I’ll love you like before. Nothing has changed between us!”
Jordan did not choose to complain or make a fuss. He just wanted to comfort Victoria as soon as possible! He wanted to tell Victoria that he would never abandon her because of this!
Hailey was stunned.
She thought that Jordan would be very angry and despise Victoria because she knew that Jordan couldn’t stand being cheated on.
……
Back then, when Jordan found out that Hailey had an affair, he had almost gone crazy.
Hearing Jordan’s words, Hailey shouted, “Jordan, aren’t you too unfair to me? We both cheated on you. But you hit and scolded me, saying that I’m unclean and that I’m a b*tch and a dirty woman. That the thought of me with another man disgusted you, and that you didn’t want to touch me or be intimate with me anymore!
“Why is it different for Victoria?! Why can you forgive her? Why can’t you forgive me?!”
Hailey felt extremely aggrieved. Why did Jordan treat her and Victoria so differently?
Hailey had been with Jordan longer than Victoria. She had even given birth to a son for him!
Lauren said, “Hailey, please don’t confuse Victoria with yourself. You knowingly cheated on Jordan. Victoria didn’t even know what happened at all. It was Shaun’s wife who did that to take revenge on Jordan. At that time, Brad found Victoria at the hotel and told me about this. I feel that Victoria is completely innocent and so we shouldn’t let her suffer for it. So, I asked Brad to lie for me and say that he found Victoria in the cinema.
“I’m sorry, Hubby, Victoria, I lied to you both.”
Actually, Lauren had good intentions. She didn’t want Jordan and Victoria’s relationship to break down because of this. She had even especially given Victoria a birth control pill before she woke up, afraid that she would get pregnant with that boy’s child.
If Lauren was a selfish woman, she could have told the truth. In that way, she might be able to have Jordan all to herself.
Victoria didn’t blame Lauren. She didn’t even have the strength to blame Clara. She only blamed herself. She kept crying as she said to Jordan, “I’m sorry, Hubby. I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”
Over and over Victoria kept crying and apologizing, which made Jordan’s heart ache.
“Victoria, you don’t have to apologize. That incident has nothing to do with you. You’re also a victim. If anything, it’s all my fault. I provoked Shaun and his wife, causing you to be implicated. It’s my fault.”
However, Victoria still blamed herself. She felt that she was too ashamed to face Jordan.
“Hailey is right. No matter what, I’ve wronged you. I’m no longer a clean woman. I’m not worthy of being your wife anymore. I’m not worthy of being a member of the secret family. I’m not worthy of being the wife of a Deity.”
Jordan hugged Victoria tightly in his arms.
He wanted to use a warm and firm hug to convey his love for Victoria.
Jordan said, “You’re absolutely worthy. No woman in the world is more qualified to be my wife than you. Victoria, promise me not to let your imagination run wild, okay? You don’t remember the incident anyway. Just pretend that it never happened, okay?”
However, Victoria pushed Jordan away and cried. “How can I pretend that nothing happened?! I did something wrong to you! I no longer have the right to stay by your side!”
With that, Victoria rushed towards the door.
Worried, Jordan grabbed Victoria’s arm. “Victoria, where are you going? I won’t let you leave!”novelbin
Jordan held onto Victoria tightly, not allowing her to escape.
Seeing this, Lota couldn’t help persuading Victoria. “Victoria, since Jordan has forgiven you, don’t be so sad. The one who did bad things is that demoness, Clara. You don’t have to blame yourself for what she did.”
Hailey thought for a moment. If Victoria really left Jordan, then it would be impossible for her to reconcile with Jordan in the future. On the contrary, if Jordan and Victoria could continue to live happily together, Hailey would have a chance to get back together with Jordan.
At the very least, Hailey would have another point in her favor. They both made mistakes during their marriage. Since Jordan forgave Victoria, he should forgive Hailey too.
Therefore, Hailey said, “Victoria, although you’re older than me, I got married earlier than you. I can still teach you about marriage! Marriage is a long journey. It’s inevitable that you’ll encounter some bumps or commit mistakes! However, as long as two people truly love each other, they will forgive each other. Don’t leave, either. Be like me, repent and don’t make any more mistakes!”
Lota didn’t know what Hailey was thinking and thought that she was really trying to help Victoria. So she agreed with Hailey. “Yes, yes.”
“All of you, shut up!”
Jordan shouted at Hailey and Lota.
This was the first time Jordan had spoken to Lota in such a tone. She was so frightened that she did not dare to speak.
Jordan was extremely frustrated. He didn’t want to hear what anyone else had to say and didn’t need anyone to interfere!
Jordan held Victoria’s hand and said, “Victoria, this is your home. If anyone has to leave, it should be someone else. You’re the mistress of this home. You can’t leave.”
However, Victoria tried her best to break free from Jordan. She cried and said, “I beg you, let me be alone. I really can’t face you now!”
Jordan could stop Victoria if he used brute force.
However, he couldn’t bear to do so.
Victoria wanted to flee now as she needed to be alone for the time being.
And so Jordan let go of her. Victoria ran to the courtyard with tears streaming down her face. She quickly drove her Porsche Palmera away.
Chapter 897
“Victoria!”
Worried, Jordan walked out and summoned Dragon.
“Dragon, take a car and follow Victoria. Also, arrange for drones to follow Victoria’s car at all times!”
“Yes!”
Jumping into action, Dragon drove a futuristic car made by one of the secret families. With Jordan in the passenger seat, they followed Victoria. In order not to let Victoria notice them, they didn’t follow too closely.
There were also drones tracking her in the air, so they were not afraid of losing sight of her.
After Jordan left, Lota said dejectedly,
“Lauren, I… I’ll head back now.”
Lauren was a little surprised. “Ms. Schmid, are you leaving the US?”
Lota nodded.
She came to the US because she hoped to be Jordan’s wife. Unexpectedly, Victoria objected.
Moreover, such a ridiculous scene had occurred.
Earlier on, Jordan had been so angry that he even shouted at her. Lota was a sensitive and innocent girl. She was worried that Jordan hated her now.
……
After all, if Lota hadn’t come to the US and asked to be Jordan’s wife, Victoria’s matter wouldn’t have been exposed today.
It would be bad if Jordan blamed all of this on Lota.
Lota did not want Jordan to hate her.
Therefore, she decided to leave immediately. She didn’t want to linger around and further annoy Jordan.
Lota said, “Jordan is occupied with Victoria now. If I stay here, I’ll only make him angry.”
Lauren nodded. She also felt that Jordan currently did not have the time to care about Lota’s feelings.
Lauren said, “Ms. Schmid, I know you’re a good girl. Since Jordan likes you too, I’m happy to accept you. As for Victoria, she didn’t agree earlier. But now that she knows about her previous situation, perhaps she will change her mind and accept you.”
Lota was delighted. “Huh? Really? Is that possible?”
Lauren smiled. “It’s okay. If Victoria changes her mind, I’ll let you know. You can come to the US to find Jordan again then.”
Lota shook Lauren’s hand happily. “Thank you, Lauren. You’re the best.”
Lauren was a woman who could see the big picture. She knew that as a member of the secret family, Lota would definitely be able to help Jordan in the future.
It was something that neither Lauren nor Victoria could do.
…
On the highway out of the capital.
Victoria sped out of the capital.
Meanwhile, Jordan had been following behind and taking care of the cars in front of Victoria. Victoria was in a distraught mood. It was very easy for something to happen if she drove fast.
Therefore, Jordan predicted the route she would take in advance and diverted all the cars in front of her.
At this moment, Dragon had already switched their car to automatic driving mode. It kept a safe distance from Victoria’s car.
Dragon asked, “Master, should we…”
Dragon wanted to say that the 18-year-old boy had violated the woman of a Deity and he was guilty of a capital crime. Just like Tyler and Cayden, he should suffer the consequences.
But Jordan roared angrily. “Shut up! No one is allowed to mention this again!”
Jordan was a Deity now. Killing an ordinary child was as easy as stepping on an ant. However, at this moment, Jordan was not thinking about revenge. He did not want to think about that incident anymore. He was only worried about Victoria!
Finally, when it was almost dark, Victoria’s car was nearly out of gas.
Victoria parked at a small hotel in the suburbs and entered the building. novelbin
The wife of the richest man in the world chose to stay in such a lousy hotel. Jordan’s heart ached for her. However, it was not appropriate for him to do anything for Victoria now.
Dragon could tell what Jordan was thinking and said, “I’ll give the hotel owner some money and get him to prepare the best food and daily necessities for Ms. Victoria.”
Jordan nodded.
Dragon asked again, “Master, do you want to stay in this hotel, or somewhere nearby?”
Jordan shook his head. “I’ll just wait in the car for Victoria to come out.”
Looking at the hotel, Jordan thought to himself, ‘Victoria, I’ll give you time to calm down. I hope that after you calm down, you can understand that I won’t despise you because of such a thing. I hope you can understand my love for you!’
Late at night, Jordan sent Victoria a very long message. He wrote many things to Victoria and told her his viewpoint.
He even used Hailey as an example.
When Hailey first cheated on Jordan, Victoria was in Orlando as Jordan’s deputy president. She had witnessed the incident.
Back then, even after he saw Hailey and Tyler checking into a hotel, Jordan finally chose to forgive Hailey.
As for Victoria, her situation was completely different from Hailey’s. Hailey had knowingly committed her mistake. Victoria had no idea what happened as it was Clara who did it.
Jordan told her that he would never leave her because of this.
However, Victoria did not reply. Moreover, she stayed in the hotel for three days.
Meanwhile, Jordan had been monitoring Victoria’s condition through high-tech methods to ensure her welfare. For the past three days, Jordan stayed in the car and guarded the entrance of the hotel.
Finally, on this morning, he saw Victoria emerge from the hotel!
Victoria drove to the gas station first. After refueling, she drove towards the capital.
Dragon followed her with Jordan.
Dragon said, “Master, looks like Ms. Victoria is returning to the capital.”
Jordan had not slept for the past three days and was in a very bad state. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to sleep. Firstly, he was worried about Victoria. Secondly, he would have nightmares the moment he fell asleep.
He dreamed of what Clara said to him before she died.
In his nightmare, Clara’s face would then morph into Victoria’s. He had taken a lot of drugs these past few days to stop himself from thinking about this.
Jordan nodded. “Yes, I hope Victoria has finally come to her senses.”
Jordan still did not disturb her, giving her space.
Soon after, Jordan realized that Victoria was really driving back to their villa in the capital!
“Victoria is going home! This is the way home! Victoria has finally come to her senses!”
Jordan was overjoyed.
Dragon also smiled. “Congratulations, Master. The incident had nothing to do with Ms. Victoria in the first place. She brooded for three whole days and should have figured things out by now.”
The two of them believed that Victoria was returning to the villa because she had finally resolved her internal conflict.
Victoria’s car stopped in the courtyard of the villa. Jordan’s car quickly followed.
Getting out of the car, Jordan ran forward to hug Victoria.
“Honey, you’re finally home! I miss you so much! You want children, right? Let’s have them now!”
However, Victoria pushed him away.
“I’m here to pack my luggage.”
Chapter 898
When talking to Jordan, Victoria’s eyes and words were extremely cold.
She looked at Jordan as if he was a stranger.
Jordan was reminded of the time when Victoria found out that it was Jordan’s father who had killed her father. She deliberately distanced herself from Jordan and went to Houston and got married to Russell.
Jordan asked, “Pack your luggage? You’re leaving?”
He didn’t expect Victoria to return to the villa just to pack her stuff and leave him!
Victoria said coldly, “Jordan, I’ve thought through everything for the past three days. I’ve also tried to persuade myself countless times to forget about that matter and pretend that it never happened. If you were just the CEO of a small company like Ace Corporation, if you only had me as your wife, perhaps I would kneel down and beg you to forgive me. Then, we would live happily together like before.”
Jordan hurriedly grabbed Victoria’s hand. “That’s how it should be! I’ve already forgiven a b*tch like Hailey once. You’re even more worthy of forgiveness! You didn’t even do anything wrong!”
However, Victoria pushed his hand away and said, “But you’re not. You’re not an ordinary CEO. You’re from a secret family. You’re the one and only Deity in the world with the most noble status! If I stay by your side, I will only become a stain on your reputation. I will only make the people of the eight great families laugh at you!
“I’m no longer worthy to be the wife of a Deity. Only pure women like Lauren and Lota are worthy. We met at the best time. I’m already very happy and satisfied to have you for the past two years. I’m sorry that I can’t accompany you for the rest of my life.”
Victoria’s words became increasingly resolute. She was about to break up with Jordan again.
This was the second time Victoria was breaking up with Jordan. The previous time, Victoria inexplicably said that she wanted to marry Russell.
This made Jordan very upset. He had finally snatched Victoria back from that old dog Russell. How could he let her leave again?!
Jordan didn’t know what to say. He knew that Victoria had thought about it for the past three days and was determined. It was useless no matter what he said.
……
Therefore, Jordan hugged Victoria’s slender waist and forcefully kissed her!
He wanted to use this intense kiss to show Victoria that he loved her!
No matter what happened in the past or what will happen in the future, Jordan would always be with her!
But Victoria still pushed Jordan away resolutely.
“Don’t be like this. I’ve already thought it through. Don’t try to persuade me anymore. Let me leave with dignity.”
With that, Victoria went upstairs to her room.
Jordan chased her to her room. When he saw her packing her luggage, he couldn’t help feeling extremely angry. He kicked her luggage into pieces, and the clothes inside were all torn!
Bang!
Jordan was furious. “Victoria! I won’t let you leave! I’m a Deity. I can’t change that. But for you, I’m willing to be an ordinary person in the future! What bullsh*t eight families? What ultimate secret of the
Rong family? I don’t care about any of that! I’ll kill whoever dares to laugh at me! No matter what, I definitely can’t let you suffer because of a crime committed by Clara!”
Jordan then shouted downstairs, “Salvatore!”
Salvatore was outside and he immediately ran in. novelbin
“Master, what can I do for you?”
Salvatore waited for his orders.
Jordan said to Salvatore, “Keep an eye on Victoria. Other than eating and going to the toilet, she’s not allowed to go anywhere else, much less leave this house! Also, get Emily to accompany her.”
After giving his instructions, Jordan turned to look at Victoria. “Victoria, I’ll hold a wedding with you in the capital in a week. I want everyone in the world to come and congratulate us. I want you to become a bride that all the women in the world will envy!”
With that, Jordan walked downstairs and immediately called his former colleagues, subordinates and friends, telling them that he was going to marry Victoria.
Soon, Ashley Rose, Stella Weston and the rest sent messages to Victoria.
Ashley said, “Ms. Clarke, you’re getting married. Congratulations. You’re finally getting married to Mr. Jordan! I watched you two from the day you two fell in love until today. Leave the wedding arrangements to me. I wish Mr. Jordan and Ms. Clarke a happy marriage and to have children soon!”
Stella said, “Victoria, your husband personally called me! When I first saw you two in New York, I knew you would definitely end up together! At that time, your husband was pretending to be poor. He was clearly a billionaire, but he dressed so simply. When I made things difficult for him and saw how your heart ached for him, I knew that you would definitely end up being Mrs. Jordan. Haha.
“Thank you for inviting me. I will definitely be there to give my blessings. Love you! Be happy!”
Even Victoria’s father, Norman, sent her a message. “Victoria, Jordan called me just now. He said that he wants to hold the most amazing wedding for you! Seeing you marry a man who loves you so much, your late mother and I are very happy.”
Even Russell received the news and sent Victoria a message:
‘Victoria, you’re finally getting married to Jordan! I will never forget the scene of you and Jordan kissing passionately on our wedding day. At that time, all I felt was anger. I believed that you just wanted to humiliate me. But now that I think about it, I could sense the undeniable love between the two of you. You were willing to do anything for each other. You should be together!
‘Although Jordan invited me, I won’t be attending the wedding. However, I want to tell you that I wish you and Jordan eternal happiness!’
Seeing the well-wishes of so many family and friends, Victoria’s determined heart softened again.
“Sobs…”
Victoria squatted on the ground and cried again.
“Why? Why are you so good to me? I’m clearly not worthy. I’m not worthy of you being so good to me, Jordan.”
Victoria cried as she muttered to herself.
When Salvatore saw this, he walked over and handed Victoria a stack of tissues.
“Ms. Victoria, don’t go against Mr. Jordan. He loves you so much. Why do you want to leave him? There are so many women who want to be his wife but he doesn’t even look at them.”
Victoria cried. She was powerless to change the truth, nor could she convince herself to pretend that this had never happened.
She suddenly saw the gun in Salvatore’s pocket.
Overwhelmed by her emotions, Victoria snatched the gun away.
“Ms. Victoria, what are you doing?!”
Salvatore was shocked. Victoria was skilled and even Salvatore couldn’t react in time.
Victoria pointed the gun at herself.
Bang!
Bang!
Victoria fired two shots at herself!
Chapter 899
At this moment, Jordan was still downstairs calling Victoria’s colleagues and friends. Suddenly, he heard two gunshots.
Slam!
Jordan’s phone instantly fell to the ground.
Almost immediately, Jordan realized that something bad must have happened!
He did not even bother to take the stairs. He jumped up to the second floor and rushed to Victoria’s room.
But it was too late.
The image of Victoria lying in a pool of blood filled his vision.
Jordan had dreamed of this scene before.
He was a Deity. No matter how ridiculous the dream was, it would eventually become reality.
Just like Jordan and Hailey’s beach wedding. Jordan had tried to stop it, but he could not escape fate.
He knew that this would happen one day.
Therefore, he placed his most capable subordinate, the world’s strongest Dragon, by Victoria’s side 24/7.
Not long ago, he was in a war between the eight great families and was caught in the most difficult fight he ever had and almost died. He didn’t call Dragon over to help him then. Instead, he let him stay by Victoria’s side.
……
Because he was worried that Victoria would be killed!
But now, Jordan knew that Victoria had not been murdered. She had committed suicide!
She had shot herself! novelbin
Salvatore was trembling in fear as he knelt on the ground. “I’m… I’m sorry. Ms. Victoria snatched my gun…”
Jordan rushed over and held Victoria.
At this moment, Victoria was still alive.
Victoria looked at Jordan and said weakly, “Hubby, I’m sorry. I can’t… accompany you anymore.”
Jordan cried. “Why are you so foolish?”
A smile was on her face. “In my next life, I don’t want to only meet you when I am 30. I want to meet you when we are still teenagers. I want to go to school with you and date you. I want to be your first woman. I want you to be my only man. Hubby, in your next life… remember… to… find… me… earlier.”
With that, Victoria closed her eyes.
“Victoria!”
Jordan roared in pain!
However, he did not let his sadness disturb his rationality. As a member of the eight secret families, he knew very well their medical standards. They could resolve ordinary gunshot wounds that modern medicine could not.
To the people of the eight secret families, being shot did not mean death at all!
Previously, Park Chan-young had also been shot by Jordan. It was like a small injury that healed soon.
Jordan quickly picked Victoria up and said, “Victoria, you won’t die. I’ll save you. We don’t have to wait for our next life. We can be together forever in this life!”
Jordan decided that as long as he could save Victoria, he wouldn’t even want Lauren anymore. He only wanted Victoria!
Since Victoria hoped for a monogamous relationship with him, Jordan would give her all of himself!
Carrying Victoria, Jordan immediately went downstairs and transported her to the Steele family’s secret medical laboratory as quickly as possible.
The Steele family’s most elite doctor treated Victoria as quickly as possible.
Jordan and Lauren waited outside the operating theater. Lauren was very anxious, not knowing if Victoria would survive.
However, Jordan was confident in the Steele family’s medical skills. He knew that Victoria wouldn’t die!
A few hours later, Dr. Tanner, who was in charge of this surgery, walked out.
“How is it, Dr. Tanner?”
Dr. Tanner took off his mask, his expression grim. “Master, we removed the bullets from Ms. Victoria’s body. Her wound is also being treated and is healing quickly.”
Jordan was overjoyed. “I knew it. A mere gunshot wound is not a problem for our eight great families! Has Victoria woken up? I want to go in and talk to her!”
Jordan was about to walk in when Dr. Tanner stopped him.
Dr. Tanner sighed. “Master, the situation isn’t that optimistic. A gunshot wound is indeed a small matter for our eight great families. It’s like a headache and a cold. It’s not an incurable illness. But Ms. Victoria did not only suffer a gunshot. She was technically dead for a short period of time.”
Jordan grabbed Dr. Tanner’s collar. “So what if she was technically dead?! Didn’t you save her? You just said that her wound is healing quickly!”
Dr. Tanner said, “We did save Ms. Victoria’s body but she is suffering from a form of depression. It is the unprecedented ‘death depression’.”
Jordan was shocked. “Depression? What depression? My wife never had depression! Did she develop depression during the past two hours?”
Dr. Tanner replied, “Yes!”
Jordan was furious. “Nonsense! How can anyone develop depression during surgery?!”
Dr. Tanner said, “We wouldn’t dare to lie to you. Although Ms. Victoria was saved, she is determined to die. Even though her body has returned to normal, she refuses to wake up. We’ve never heard of such a situation before. We don’t know how to resolve it. Master, you’re a Deity. I’m afraid we’ll have to trouble you to help us.”
Jordan was a Deity and could predict the future. He had previously helped Shaun develop a mind- transplant procedure.
Now, he could also help Dr. Tanner and his team develop a way to treat Victoria’s “death depression”!
Jordan hurriedly said, “What are you waiting for? Let’s start immediately!”
Jordan immediately conducted a series of experiments with the Steele family’s medical team.
Just like that, a month passed. Victoria’s wounds had long disappeared and her body was as smooth as before. It was impossible to tell that she had been shot. However, she remained lying on the bed and could not regain consciousness.
For the past month, other than thinking of a solution with his team, Jordan spent the rest of his time by Victoria’s bed talking to her.
However, he couldn’t wake Victoria up.
Dr. Tanner said, “Master, Ms. Victoria has become a vegetable who is determined to die. There’s only one thought in her mind, and that is death. We’ve used all the methods we can think of in the past month, but they have no effect at all. I’m afraid…”
Jordan grabbed Dr. Tanner’s collar and shouted, “I won’t allow you to give up! I will never give up on treating Victoria!”
“Yes, yes, yes…”
Dr. Tanner knew how Jordan felt about Victoria. Even if there was no hope for Victoria, he didn’t dare to continue persuading Jordan to give up.
“Maybe it’s because our abilities are limited. Why don’t we contact the Geng and Rong families? Their medical team is of a higher level. They might be able to find a way to treat Ms. Victoria’s ‘death depression’!”
Chapter 900
“The Geng and Rong families?”
Jordan lifted his head, and his dull eyes lit up for the first time in a long while.
‘The Rong family can even develop something as heaven-defying as a space-time revolving door. They might have a way to save Victoria from a simple mental illness!’ Jordan thought to himself.
It was true that he admired Rong Huangde’s abilities very much. He knew that this old fellow was unfathomable. In terms of medicine, the Rong family’s medical team was definitely much stronger than Jordan’s!
The previous Deity had helped the Rong family for decades, helping them develop their technology!
Although Jordan was a Deity, this was not something that he could surpass in a short period of time. Therefore, Jordan hurriedly said to Dr. Tanner, “Alright, contact them and ask them to help.”
“Yes!”
10 hours later, private jets from the Geng and Rong families flew directly to the secret base where Jordan and Victoria were.
At this moment, Jordan was still watching over Victoria in the ward. He held her hand and spoke to her from time to time.
“Oh my god, you’re Madam Geng, right? Thank you for coming!”
Lauren was outside the ward. When she saw Geng Anli, she hurriedly stood up and greeted her respectfully.
Geng Anli naturally knew everything about this beauty in front of her.
With Geng Anli’s arrogance, she usually disdained interacting with common women. However, Lauren was Jordan’s official wife, and Jordan was a Deity. On top of that, Geng Anli had a past relationship with Jordan. As a result, Geng Anli was very friendly and humble toward Lauren.
……
Taking the initiative, Geng Anli extended her hand and smiled. “You must be Jordan’s wife, Lauren from the Howard family. I’m very happy to see you, the number one beauty in the US.”
Lauren was a little embarrassed. “Thank you for your praise, Madam Geng. I don’t deserve the title of the number one beauty in the US.”
Geng Anli smiled. “You’re indeed the number one beauty in the US. Your husband and I have discussed this matter before. However, to be honest, you’re not in your best condition now. I know that you were imprisoned by Shaun for half a year and lost a lot of weight. Why haven’t you recovered yet? You don’t look too well either.” novelbin
Lauren lowered her head. Actually, she had been gradually recovering.
However, Victoria suddenly committed suicide.
For the past month, Jordan had not been able to eat or drink. He only cared about Victoria and stayed by her side. As Victoria’s good friend and Jordan’s wife, how could Lauren be in the mood to take care of herself and eat properly?
Lauren said, “With Victoria and my husband like this, I don’t have much appetite these days.”
However, Geng Anli shook her head. “Ms. Lauren, I know that you have a good relationship with Victoria and you’re very worried about your husband. However, Jordan has been injected with the
Mirakuru serum after all. His physique far exceeds that of ordinary people. Even if he doesn’t eat or drink for a few days, nothing will happen to his body.”
“But you’re just an ordinary person. Jordan mentioned to me more than once that when he first met you at the cafe, he was instantly attracted to your beauty. His heart palpitated like crazy. Since your beauty is a big factor in attracting your husband, what reason do you have to not preserve it?”
Hearing this, Lauren was enlightened. “Thank you for your advice, Madam Geng!”
Geng Anli didn’t say anything further and just pushed open the door and walked in.
“Deity Jordan.”
Geng Anli greeted Jordan.
Jordan got up and walked over. “Madam Geng, thank you for bringing your team over.”
Geng Anli said, “Of course. However, in terms of medical skills, our Geng family can’t compare to the Rong family. I think it will depend on the Rong family whether we can save Ms. Victoria this time.”
Jordan asked with some uncertainty, “Has the Rong family… also sent a team?”
“Hahaha, of course we did!”
A familiar voice rang out. “Rong Bailun” strode forward with a group of doctors in white coats.
“Chairman Rong! Welcome to the US!”
Lauren bowed respectfully when she saw “Rong Bailun”.
Lauren didn’t know that Shaun had swapped minds with Rong Bailun as Jordan hadn’t told her.
‘Shaun Handley!’
Jordan was the only one who knew that this fellow was Shaun!
‘So he managed to stay alive.’
When Jordan and Shaun parted ways previously, Rong Huangde had made Shaun stay at Fort Rong.
Shaun had killed Rong Huangde’s son and occupied his body. Jordan thought that Rong Huangde would kill Shaun in a fit of anger.
Walking forward, Shaun said, “Deity Jordan, long time no see. I didn’t expect such a thing to happen after our last meeting. Sigh, what bad luck! But don’t worry, I’ve already brought our family’s most elite medical team over. We’ll do our best to treat your wife!”
Jordan didn’t expose Shaun’s identity. He cupped his fists in respect and said, “Thank you, Chairman Rong and Madam Geng.”
Everyone didn’t waste any more time and started to work on the “death depression”.
During this period, Shaun kept wanting to talk to Jordan in private, but he was rejected.
Jordan’s mind was only filled with Victoria. He didn’t want to talk about anything else. Even if it was about that mysterious space-time revolving door that few people on Earth knew about.
Just like that, the Rong and Geng families’ medical teams, along with the Steele family’s medical team, observed and researched for half a month.
But in the end, they still failed to find a solution for the “death depression”.
One day, on a sunny afternoon.
Jordan was still sitting on the chair, holding Victoria’s hand and watching over her.
Victoria wasn’t dead. Her hands and body temperature were normal, but she just couldn’t wake up.
Knock knock!
Geng Anli and Shaun knocked on the door and entered.
Seeing that Jordan was still looking at Victoria both affectionately combined with a miserable aura, Geng Anli couldn’t help sighing.
“Sigh, Jordan, you’re really a good husband who values relationships. Unfortunately, our medical teams can’t help you. If it’s just a physical wound, no matter how serious it is, we have the confidence to treat it. However, I’m afraid no surgery or medicine can treat this kind of suicidal state of mind.
“Jordan, since I can’t help you, I won’t linger here anymore. I hope you can pull yourself together as soon as possible. I still have to rely on you to improve this world.”
With that, Geng Anli bid farewell to Jordan and Shaun and left.
After Geng Anli left, only Shaun, Jordan, and the unconscious Victoria were left in the room.
“You should leave too.”
Shaun was about to approach Jordan when he asked him to leave.
Shaun didn’t do so. “Jordan, don’t chase me away. I’ve been wanting to talk to you in private for the past few days. Now that I finally have the chance, I have something very important to discuss with you!”
