Chapter 921
Although her father had been gone for many years, Victoria still remembered his warm and loving voice as he held her and coaxed her to sleep. She felt that this old fortune-teller’s voice was too similar to her deceased father’s. It was deep and vibrant.
As she admired and respected her father, when she was 17 or 18 years old, Victoria always looked for men who had such voices.
She found such men extremely charming.
Victoria immediately had a good impression of this old man.
“Sir, we think we hit your leg just now. Let me take a look. Are you injured?”
Victoria wanted to lift the hem of Jordan’s pants to look at his leg, but he immediately stopped her.
Jordan’s skin on the exposed parts of his body looked old, but he did not have the makeup done on his legs. If Victoria saw Jordan’s leg, she would be able to tell that it was definitely not the leg of a 70-year- old man. It was clearly a young man’s!
Jordan hurriedly said, “I’m fine, I’m fine. Thank you for your concern. I dodged just now and wasn’t hit.” novelbin
Ashley was instantly relieved. “Really? Are you really alright? That’s great!”
Victoria glared at Ashley. “What’s so great about that? You almost hit someone. You even said that you would go to get $1,000 from my purse to compensate this mister. Also, turn on the stoplights of the car. Otherwise, we might get rear-ended.”
“Oh, yes, yes.”
Ashley quickly went to turn on the headlights and then retrieved $1,000 from Victoria’s purse.
Ashley placed the money in Jordan’s hand. “Sir, I’m really sorry. I wasn’t careful when driving just now. I didn’t expect you to suddenly appear. Please accept this money.”
At the same time, Ashley saw that Jordan was wearing sunglasses and a walking stick was on the ground. She said, “Grandpa, can you see? This is $1,000 in cash. You have to keep it well.”
Jordan shook his head. “No, I won’t accept your money.”
Victoria said, “Sir, please accept the money. If you don’t, we’ll feel very guilty.”
Victoria was now the deputy president of a listed company. Her personal matters would affect the company. She didn’t want any scandal because of this. It would be best if she could resolve it with money.
But Jordan said, “I will only accept the money under one condition.”
“What do you mean?”
Victoria and Ashley looked at Jordan in confusion.
Jordan pretended to search the floor for something. “Where’s my sign?”
Ashley was very alert this time. She immediately picked up the “Fortune-telling Services” sign.
Jordan held the sign and dusted it off. “I only accept money for reading someone’s fortune. And only if I managed to read the person’s fortune accurately. If you want me to accept your money, you have to let me read your fortunes.”
Victoria felt that this old man was a little strange, but she wanted to compensate him for this matter to prevent any potential trouble.
She said to Ashley, “Ashley, I don’t believe in such things. Let this mister read your fortune.”
“Okay.”
Ashley didn’t believe it either. What era was it now? Who would believe a fortune-teller by the roadside?
And a blind one at that!
Ashley looked at Jordan’s blind disguise and did not think much of his abilities.
“Sir, you can’t see. How are you going to read my fortune?”
Jordan smiled. “Give me your hand.”
Ashley reached out her hand and Jordan held it, caressing it gently.
Ashley was dumbfounded. She whispered to Victoria, “He can’t even see the lines on my hand clearly. How can he tell my fortune just by touching my hand?”
Victoria shot Ashley a look, indicating for her to just humor the man. She didn’t believe in the old man’s divination ability at all.
Jordan soon put down Ashley’s hand and said, “You are the only daughter in the family. No, you’re the only child in your family, right?”
As Jordan had been the President of Ace Corporation for some time, he naturally knew a little about Ashley’s family situation.
Ashley and Victoria looked at each other in surprise. However, Ashley refused to believe that Jordan had deduced this from her palm.
“It’s normal for people my age to be an only child. Unless you can guess what I do and my relationship status, I won’t believe that you’re an expert.”
Jordan smiled. “From your palm lines, I can tell your life is calm. There are no twists and turns. You are comfortable with the work you’re doing and it is not too tiring. You must be something like an office assistant or secretary, right?”
Ashley covered her mouth in surprise. “Ms. Clarke, he’s right!”
Victoria was also surprised. It seemed like this blind old man was indeed something.
Through his sunglasses, Jordan noticed the change in their expressions and continued, “As for your relationship situation, I don’t need to even read your palm to guess. Since you’re a secretary, you must be well-groomed. However, the way you speak is quite flighty and you panic whenever something happens. You often aim for guys who are higher in status than you.
“Young lady, I advise you to be more realistic. Don’t waste your youth.”
When Jordan was the President of Ace Corporation, he noticed that Ashley kept trying to get close to him.
A small secretary dared to dream of becoming the wife of the President of a listed corporation.
Ashley was a little annoyed at being called out by a blind person.
“You… you’re spouting nonsense! I’m not that kind of woman! You don’t know how to read fortunes at all!”
But Victoria just smiled. Ashley had been under her for so long. How could she not know what kind of girl she was? The old man’s description completely summed up Ashley in a nutshell.
Therefore, Victoria, who originally didn’t want her fortune told, extended her hand.
“Sir, please read my fortune too.”
Jordan had been waiting for this moment!
If he wanted to get closer to Victoria and have a chance to implant the idea in her mind, he had to find an opportunity to gain her trust.
Taking hold of Victoria’s hand, Jordan said, “Your career line is very strong. It means that your work ability and wealth far exceed ordinary people. However, your relationship line isn’t too good. You must already be in your 30s, but you’re still unmarried.”
Victoria and Ashley were shocked. This old man was too accurate!
Victoria believed in the old man’s ability even more now. “What else?”
Jordan shook his head and sighed. “Sigh, poor child. I felt a knot at the front of your life thread. This means that you met with misfortune at a young age. If I’m not wrong, your parents should be long gone!”
Chapter 922
Victoria was stunned. This old fortune-teller managed to accurately divine Victoria’s background!
Although Victoria was the famous number one beautiful CEO in Orlando, no one knew about her background. Even Ashley, who was the closest to her, did not know that Victoria’s parents had died.
Ashley noticed Victoria’s shocked expression. She asked in surprise, “Ms. Clarke, are your parents really gone? Oh my god… you’re still so young… how could it be?”
Given that Victoria was only in her 30s, that meant thqt her parents should only be in their 60s.
Victoria didn’t deny it. She said to Jordan, “Sir, you’re really an expert. That’s right, my parents left us very early on.”
“Us? Let me see… you have a younger sister, right?”
Jordan continued to pretend to be a psychic.
Victoria was even more impressed now. “Sir, you’re amazing. Yes, I have a younger sister. Sigh, my parents doted on me, but they died soon after my sister was born. She didn’t get to spend much time with my parents…”
At this point, Victoria’s expression darkened.
Yes, Victoria had raised Emily. Emily had never gotten the chance to be doted on by her parents like other girls.
Thinking of Emily, Jordan couldn’t help thinking of Lota. Their situations were similar. He realized that this kind of girl, who lacked her parents’ love, was exceptionally innocent.
Lota was an innocent and silly girl. Emily was more mischievous, but she was also very innocent.
Jordan couldn’t bear to see Victoria’s worried expression. His heart ached for her.
Over the past month or so, Jordan had had enough of seeing Victoria lying on the hospital bed. He hoped that she would be happy. In order to make Victoria happy, he was willing to go against the entire world!
Jordan quickly said, “You don’t have to be too sad. There might be a chance in the future.”
“A chance?”
Victoria sensed some implicit meaning behind Jordan’s words.
“Sir, what do you mean by a chance? Do you mean there’s a chance my parents might return to life?”
“My mother, I saw her leave us. But I didn’t personally witness my father’s… could it be that my father…”
Jordan didn’t want to tell her too much about Norman at this moment. According to the timeline, Victoria had to be convinced that Norman was dead at this point, otherwise, she wouldn’t have been tricked by Russell into getting married.
Reaching out again, Jordan said, “The secrets of the heavens cannot be revealed.”
But Victoria was eager to know the secret!
Ever since her father suddenly passed away, her life had changed drastically.
If her father hadn’t died, she would be a blissful, rich and beautiful woman in Houston. She wouldn’t have to work so hard, coming to Orlando alone to face these shrewd big bosses and enduring the complicated business world.
Victoria could tell that the old man in front of her was really an expert. She had heard from her father and Russell that there were really some old experts in this world.
After all, the world of divination was broad and profound. Not all fortune-tellers were liars and cheaters.
Therefore, Victoria helped Jordan up and said, “Sir, are you free? I would like to invite you to my place.”
This was exactly what Jordan wanted. He nodded. “Alright.”
Ashley drove the two of them to Victoria’s villa before leaving.
Returning to Victoria’s house in Orlando, Jordan was filled with emotions. He remembered that the first time he came here, he had eaten hotpot with Victoria and Cory.
Victoria confessed her feelings to Jordan in this house, and he agreed to be with her.
The house was comfortable and modern. Arriving in the living room, Jordan saw the $60,000 Sony Z9G TV. He still remembered that the first time he came, they watched “The Great Gatsby” together.
After arriving home, Victoria changed into slippers and brewed a pot of tea for Jordan.
“Sir, please have some tea.”
Victoria placed the teacup in Jordan’s hand, afraid that he wouldn’t see it.
“Okay.”
Jordan drank his tea and looked at the beautiful Victoria as she sat opposite him.
Victoria was wearing a red short skirt and looked very beautiful.
Even though he was already married to Victoria for some time, Jordan was still very attracted to her.
As the two of them drank their tea, Victoria suddenly asked, “Sir, you just said that there’s a chance in my parents’ matter. What do you mean by that? Did you divine something? Can you tell me?”
Jordan still shook his head and replied, “The secrets of the heavens cannot be revealed. Child, your parents left you so long ago, you should look forward. The most important thing now is your personal life. I would like to talk to you more about your relationships.”
Victoria crossed her legs and picked up a cigarette box. She took out a lady’s cigarette and held it in her mouth.
“I don’t have any relationships. I only have a career.”
Just as she was about to take out a lighter and light her cigarette, Victoria suddenly stopped.
“Oh, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t smoke in front of you.”
Victoria had an assertive manner. Her status was very high in Orlando and she was always surrounded by her subordinates.
Even when meeting other top management, Victoria’s high status allowed her to remain self-assured and domineering. She could smoke if she wanted to and do whatever she wanted. She didn’t have to care about anyone.
However, Victoria was worried that this old fortune-teller might not like the smell of smoke, so she stopped and placed the lighter on the table.
To her surprise, Jordan grabbed the lighter. He slowly reached the lighter toward the slender cigarette in Victoria’s mouth.
Click.
Jordan lit the lighter!
Victoria was momentarily stunned. She finally puffed on the cigarette to light it.
“I don’t mind.”
Jordan put down the lighter and smiled.
He didn’t have to light the cigarette for Victoria. In fact, he didn’t like her to smoke unless she was drinking.
After being with Jordan, Victoria rarely smoked.
But Jordan chose to light this cigarette for Victoria because he refused to do so back in 2020!
Just now, at the Camden’s birthday banquet, Victoria had given Jordan an opportunity. She had deliberately walked up to him and asked him to light a cigarette for her.
However, the proud and arrogant Jordan rejected her on the spot. novelbin
So this time, he lit a cigarette to make up for it!
“Thank you.”
Victoria thanked Jordan.
She was not surprised that Jordan could pick up the lighter and light the cigarette for her.
She had interacted with some blind people before. Their hearing far exceeded that of ordinary people. They could perform many everyday tasks by relying on their other senses.
After a pause, Jordan asked, “When… When was the last time you fell in love?”
Chapter 923
Jordan knew everything about Victoria’s love life.
She only had one man, Russell, before Jordan.
However, now that he was asking in the identity of an otherworldly expert, would she give a different answer?
Victoria was not a woman who was good at lying, and her answer did not disappoint Jordan.
Taking in a puff of her cigarette, she smiled. “If I said that I’ve never fallen in love before, would you believe me?”
Jordan stroked his fake beard thoughtfully.
Victoria said, “I’m already 30 years old this year, but I don’t think I’ve ever been in a proper relationship in my life. I admit that I had a man when I was 20 years old. I was with him for three years and left him at 23. For seven whole years, I didn’t even hold hands with anyone of the opposite sex.”
Jordan knew that the man Victoria was talking about was Russell. When Victoria first confessed her feelings to Jordan, she had told him everything.
In the end, Victoria was a frank and direct woman. She didn’t like to hide things. It was better to make things clear before they got together. This way was much better than waiting for Jordan to find out only after they got together, and end up breaking up because he couldn’t accept it.
Victoria was also a smart woman. She knew that no secret could remain hidden forever. Moreover, Russell was a big shot.
It was better that she made things clear right from the start so that if Jordan did mind, they should not begin a relationship.
It was better than finding out only after they had truly fallen in love. Hearts would be broken and lead to more suffering.
Jordan said, “Yes, when I touched your palm previously, I could already tell that you haven’t had any recent romantic liaisons. However, good fortune can follow after a period of low luck. You’ve been single for a full seven years. Your destined one is about to appear.”
Victoria was delighted. “Really? What does that person look like? What does he do?”
Jordan asked, “Perhaps that person may have already appeared in your life recently. Have you met anyone you like in recent times?”
Victoria shook her head. “I only see fat bosses all day, or employees who don’t even dare to raise their heads when they see me. I don’t like them… Ah, I did meet a young man at a birthday banquet just now. I quite like him…”
Jordan was very happy. He knew that Victoria was talking about him.
‘Hehe, I didn’t expect Victoria to fall in love with me at first sight!’
To be honest, Jordan didn’t fall in love with Victoria at first sight. Perhaps it was because he was still very affected by Hailey’s cheating at that time. When they first met, he only thought that Victoria was beautiful.
Jordan quickly said, “Tell me your date and time of birth!”
Victoria told him. Jordan pretended to divine and said happily, “This year, you will obtain the love you have been looking forward to for a long time. Moreover, your luck in romance begins today. The young man you mentioned will very likely be the man whom you will spend the rest of your life with!”
Victoria opened her mouth wide. “Huh? Is that true? But that young man rejected me today. Also, all the big business bosses in Orlando have blacklisted him. I think he will leave Orlando immediately and we’ll never have the chance to meet again.”
Jordan chuckled. “Since he’s the man you’re destined to be with, how can you not meet him? I predict that you’ll meet him soon. It might be tomorrow. And the next time you meet him, he might give you a big surprise!”
Tomorrow morning, when Victoria went to the office, she would meet Jordan and find out his true identity.
Jordan remembered that when she saw him in the President’s office, she was so shocked that she had knelt down on the spot.
After the two of them got together, Jordan asked Victoria if she felt embarrassed to have fallen to her knees before him.
Victoria replied, “No. Anyway, as your woman, I would have to kneel every night. It’s just a matter of time.”
Being able to conquer such a proud businesswoman made Jordan feel a sense of accomplishment!
“Really? Will I meet Jordan again? I’m really looking forward to it.”
Victoria and Jordan grew increasingly comfortable with each other. Victoria loved listening to Jordan talk. No matter what their conversation was about, she enjoyed it.
It was as if she was chatting with her father.
The two of them chatted until the sky turned dark. At night, Victoria still felt unsatisfied. She felt too comfortable talking to this old man. Not only did his voice sound very soothing, she felt that this old
man understood her very well. novelbin
Moreover, when the old man spoke to her, his tone was extremely gentle, as if he was protecting his child or lover.
Victoria asked him to stay. “Sir, where do you live? Is it far from here? Is it convenient for you to have dinner here? I can prepare a few dishes to thank you for your help today.”
It had been a long time since Jordan had eaten Victoria’s food. The last time he had a chance to eat her food, it had been ruined by that b*tch, Hailey.
Jordan responded. “I’m a blind man and don’t have a fixed place of residence. I might sleep under the bridge tonight and on the streets tomorrow. I do wish to try your cooking.”
Victoria said, “Oh my god, an otherworldly expert like you actually doesn’t have a place to stay? Why don’t you stay here with me for the time being?”
“Stay with you?”
Of course Jordan wanted to but he did not say that.
“You’re a single woman and I’m a man. It won’t be inappropriate for me to stay with you, right?”
Victoria said, “What’s so inappropriate about that? You can’t see anything even if I don’t close the door while taking a shower. Sir, please stay. I have many things I want to ask you.”
With that, Victoria went to the kitchen to cook.
It was still the same delicious dishes. The two of them even drank wine, just like in the past. As Jordan drank and ate Victoria’s food, his heart was filled with emotions.
“No wonder Rong Huangde traveled back in time whenever he could. I’m afraid it’s not just for exploring the secrets of the Handley family. Going back in time, I can meet people I can no longer see in the present, and do things I failed to do. This feeling is too addictive.”
Unwittingly, Victoria got a little drunk. Her face was red as she caressed her forehead with her fair hand and smiled.
“Sir, your alcohol tolerance is really good. I’m a little drunk…”
Jordan looked at the bottles of red wine in front of him and realized that they had already drunk a lot.
Jordan’s alcohol tolerance had always been good. Coupled with the fact that he had been injected with the Mirakuru serum, drinking red wine to him was like drinking water.
Victoria’s alcohol tolerance was already considered good among women. But she couldn’t take it anymore.
“Oh, I’m drunk too. I’m so happy today that I drank a little too much. It’s getting late. You still have to work tomorrow morning. Why don’t you rest early?” Jordan said.
“Okay, okay. I’ll sleep after taking a shower. Um, why don’t you shower first?” Victoria offered politely.
Still playing his character, Jordan said, “You know that I’m blind. Without anyone to help me, I can’t wash on my own.”
Chapter 924
“Uh…”
Victoria was not Jordan’s daughter or related to him in any way. Although she admired and respected him very much, it was impossible for her to bathe him.
Of course, Jordan didn’t really mean what he said. He just wanted to find an excuse not to shower as he had makeup on his face and arms. If he washed, he would turn from an old man to a young man in his 20s.
And he would look exactly like the Jordan whom Victoria saw during the day. Wouldn’t she be scared to death then?
Victoria didn’t say anything else. She went to take a shower and returned to her room to rest.
Victoria fell asleep, but Jordan couldn’t sleep no matter what.
Beep!
Jordan lay on the bed. As he tossed and turned, he received a message from Shaun.
Shaun asked: ‘Deity Jordan, what’s wrong? Why aren’t you back yet?’
Jordan typed a reply: ‘I’m sleeping at Victoria’s place tonight.’
Shaun said: ‘F*ck, aren’t you progressing too quickly? This is the first time you meet her and are disguised as an old fortune-teller, but you already slept with her? Victoria isn’t such a casual woman. Don’t tell me you revealed your identity?’
Jordan responded: ‘Don’t spout nonsense. We’re sleeping in separate rooms. We got on well and she thought I was blind, so she asked me to stay the night.’
Shaun said: ‘Since you’re not asleep, come back quickly. My medical team is waiting for you to help me develop the antidote!’
Shaun was very anxious to get the antidote.
Jordan ignored him: ‘Victoria will go to the office tomorrow morning. I’ll come back in the morning.’
A heartbroken emoji was received from Shaun in response.
It was 12:30 AM.
By 3 AM, Jordan was still awake.
He was afraid of sleeping because he was afraid of dreaming of something bad happening to Victoria. Like the last time he dreamed of her being shot.
He was a Deity. If he dreamed of something repeatedly, it would definitely come true. He was afraid of dreaming that something else would happen to Victoria, so he couldn’t sleep at all.
Finally, Jordan couldn’t hold back his longing for Victoria anymore. He walked out of the room and quietly pushed open the door to her bedroom.
Victoria had already been asleep for a few hours.
Jordan believed that Victoria must be sleeping soundly as she drank too much, so he walked over.
Victoria’s room was not completely dark. There was some blue light in the corner of her room. This light was very weak, an atmospheric light that did not affect sleep. With the help of this faint blue light, Jordan saw Victoria’s sleeping profile.
Recalling how he had watched her lie on the bed for the past month, his emotions surged.
Jordan walked to the bed and held her hand.
“Victoria, I can finally see you again. I’ve missed you so much…”
As he spoke, Jordan couldn’t help feeling a little teary-eyed. Looking at Victoria’s beautiful side profile, Jordan said softly, “Baby, I love you.”
With that, Jordan couldn’t resist kissing Victoria!
Jordan loved Victoria too much. He couldn’t kiss her when she was awake. And now that she was asleep, Jordan couldn’t resist doing so.
Of course, he only kissed her gently and didn’t dare to make any big moves, afraid that he would wake her up.
After a minute, Jordan reluctantly left Victoria’s room and returned to his bed.
After kissing Victoria, Jordan’s chaotic heart finally calmed down and he soon fell asleep.
But unexpectedly, in Victoria’s room…
After Jordan left and she could no longer hear him, Victoria suddenly sat up!
She wasn’t asleep at all!
The moment Jordan pushed the door open, Victoria was already awake!
Victoria had always been cautious. She had indeed drunk a lot today. However, she had been in the Orlando business world for seven years and had long learned how to act in a drinking situation.
Although Victoria admired Jordan, she did not fully trust him.
After all, it was too much of a coincidence to knock over someone who was a rare fortune-telling expert.
Especially since Victoria felt that Jordan was too similar to her deceased father!
Therefore, she did not fall into a deep sleep. She had already woken up when Jordan pushed the door open. However, she continued to pretend to be asleep. She even snored softly, making Jordan think that she was asleep.
Victoria wanted to know why Jordan entered her room so late at night!
If Jordan was planning to take advantage of her and rape her while she was asleep, Victoria would definitely resist and beat this old man up.
However, Jordan’s words surprised Victoria.
“How did he know my name is Victoria?”
Although the two of them had chatted for the entire afternoon, Victoria had never told him her name.
Ashley had only called her “Ms. Clarke” in the afternoon.
How did the other party know about her first name?
No matter how good he was at fortune-telling, it was impossible for him to divine her actual name, right?
She thought of what Jordan had whispered: ‘I finally see you again. I missed you so much, baby. I love you…’
Victoria’s tears suddenly fell.
“Dad!”
“Is it Daddy? Are you Daddy? Has Daddy come back to visit me?”
Somehow, Victoria mistook Jordan for her father!
After all, she hadn’t seen her father die with her own eyes. Perhaps her father wasn’t dead.
It had been a long time since they last met. It was completely reasonable for her father to say words like “I miss you” and “baby”!
The only thing that was difficult to explain was Jordan’s kiss.
It had been a kiss on the lips. Generally speaking, it was a kiss between lovers. But for some European and even American families, this was not unusual. As the saying went, daughters were their father’s lovers in their past lives.
There were many cases of fathers kissing their daughters on the lips, in a pure show of fatherly love.
For example, Beckham and his daughter.
In Victoria’s case, Norman doted on her a lot when she was young and would sometimes kiss her on the lips too.
“Daddy, it must be Daddy… Daddy’s voice. I will never forget it!”
Victoria’s eyes were misty.
“But why did he pretend to be an old fortune-teller? Why didn’t he acknowledge me?”
Today, Jordan and Victoria chatted a lot, especially about Victoria’s love life.
Jordan had even recommended that Victoria go to the capital to find a certain Dr. Gale to perform a “minor procedure” to implant the idea of growing old with her loved one into her mind.
Victoria even suspected that Dr. Gale must have hired this old man to source potential patients for him… novelbin
“Daddy must have his reasons. Since Daddy doesn’t want to acknowledge me now, I won’t say anything else… Daddy, I miss you too. I love you so much…”
Chapter 925
Victoria actually mistook Jordan, who was disguised as a fortune-teller, for her father Norman.
It was no wonder. Using the voice alteration device, Jordan’s voice was so similar to Norman’s. Coupled with Jordan’s baffling words earlier, who else in the world would treat Victoria like such a treasure?
Norman was the only one.
As for Russell, Victoria knew very well that as the richest man in Houston, he would never do such a thing.
Victoria was a smart woman. She realized that her father must have had his reasons, which was why he refused to acknowledge her. Therefore, she did not run to his room to expose him.
She had waited for 10 whole years. She didn’t mind waiting a little longer.
With tears of happiness in her eyes, Victoria lay on the bed and finally fell asleep.
Ring ring ring…
It was morning. Victoria had just fallen asleep when her phone rang.
Victoria answered the call sleepily. “Who is it?”
Tyler’s voice came from the other end of the line. “Ms. Clarke, this is Tyler Collins. I toasted you at Old Mrs. Camden’s birthday banquet yesterday!”
Victoria nodded. She knew Tyler’s father and had drunk with him a few times.
“Mr. Collins, why are you calling so early?”
Victoria asked.
Tyler said anxiously, “Ms. Clarke, do you still remember the Camdens’ live-in son-in-law, Jordan Steele? Yesterday, we joined forces with the Camdens to make sure he can no longer survive in this city. This kid ran to your building early this morning. I guess he wants to take revenge on you!”
Victoria opened her eyes in surprise and woke up completely. novelbin
Jordan?
The young man she met yesterday, the one she fell in love with at first sight?
Victoria recalled what her “Daddy” said yesterday and was amazed.
‘Oh my god, isn’t Daddy a programmer? Did he study fortune-telling for the past 10 years? How can he be so accurate?! Yesterday, Daddy said that Jordan and I would meet again. It is indeed coming true!’
Victoria was delighted. She smiled and replied, “Don’t worry. The building is locked and there are security guards. He won’t be able to come up.”
Tyler said anxiously, “That kid has an access card and might have already entered the building. He might be hiding in your office now. If you go to work, your life will be in danger!”
“What? How did he get our company’s access card?”
Victoria sat up in surprise. The blanket covering her body fell off, revealing her fair shoulders.
Tyler went on to tell Victoria that Jordan had stolen a watch worth $800,000 from the Camdens, and must have spent money to buy the access card so that he could take revenge on Victoria.
Hearing this, Victoria became worried. She called Ashley and asked her to go to the office immediately. Meanwhile, Victoria quickly washed up and changed her clothes.
Before leaving, she knocked on Jordan’s door.
Knock knock!
“Sir, are you awake?”
At this moment, Victoria really wanted to call him Daddy. She had not called anyone that in 10 years.
Jordan knew that Victoria would go to the office early in the morning, so he woke up early as well.
“Yes, I’m up. Please come in,” Jordan said.
Victoria pushed the door open and saw that Jordan was already dressed. He was still wearing his sunglasses and sitting by the bed.
‘You’re already wearing sunglasses so early in the morning. You must not want me to see your face. Daddy, you must be my Daddy!’
Victoria thought to herself. She had been in the business circle for so long and knew how to read people’s expressions. She could tell at a glance that this man was deliberately hiding his face from her.
As for his figure, Jordan and Norman were about the same build.
To be able to give birth to tall daughters like Victoria and Emily, Norman was himself a tall man.
However, after Jordan had been injected with the Mirakuru serum, not only was he taller, but his body was also more buff than ordinary men.
Jordan’s figure was that of a strong athlete.
Norman was a programmer. After he became a CEO, he was still a little thin and not that muscular.
‘Did Daddy work out regularly for the past 10 years?’
Victoria sized up Jordan’s body and wondered.
This was not impossible.
Victoria said, “Sir, you’re really a fortune-teller. I just received a call. The live-in son-in-law I liked yesterday, Jordan, is now in my company building.”
Jordan smiled and stroked his beard. “The art of divination is mysterious and unfathomable. You shouldn’t have doubted it in the first place! You have to remember every word I say to you!”
Victoria smiled. She no longer had the attitude of a domineering businesswoman. Instead, she looked like an obedient daughter.
“To be honest, yesterday, you kept recommending that doctor in the capital, Dr. Gale, to me for some idea implantation. I even suspected that you two were frauds working together.”
Jordan was speechless. “I’ve been indifferent to fame and fortune all my life, and I treat money as dirt. How can you think that of me?! Let me ask you, if you really get together with that young man Jordan, how long do you think you will be together for?”
Victoria shook her head. “I don’t know either. Love in modern society is very fragile. Very few people can hold hands for the rest of their lives. Although I yearn for such love, I can’t guarantee that I can do it.”
Jordan said, “That’s right. Love between young people nowadays is indeed very fragile. They break up easily. Over important matters and small matters alike. I think that since you’ve confirmed that the young man is the love of your life, you should implant the idea in your mind to grow old with him. This is why I recommended Dr. Gale to you. He’s the only person in the US who can do this.”
“Child, I hope you can seriously consider my suggestion! I promise you will be happy because of this!”
Dr. Gale had implanted an idea into Lauren, and it was very successful. Therefore, Jordan wanted him to implant an idea into Victoria so that she could grow old with him.
Once it was successfully implanted, no matter what happened, including what happened to Victoria and that 18-year-old boy, she would no longer be bent on seeking death and would wake up.
Victoria said, “Sir, I’m afraid I’ll disappoint you. Jordan isn’t here to seek refuge with me. I heard that he bought our company’s access card and is currently lurking in our company building. He seems to want to take revenge on me.”
Revenge?
Jordan thought for a moment. It must be that b*stard Tyler spouting nonsense.
Jordan smiled. “Whether it’s to take revenge on you or to establish a good relationship with you, you’ll know after you go to the office.”
Victoria said, “Alright, I’ll go to the office now. Wait for me at home. I’ll come back to accompany you as soon as I’m done. By the way, do you have a phone? What’s your phone number?”
Jordan touched the iPhone 12 and iPhone 18 in his pocket and shook his head. “I don’t have a phone.”
Chapter 926
The iPhone 12 was not on the market yet. Taking it out would shock Victoria.
Hearing this, Victoria returned to her room and took out her spare phone. She handed it to Jordan and said, “Sir, take this phone first. It’ll be easier for me to contact you. You need to charge it… you know how to, right?”
Victoria suspected that the old man in front of her was her father, so she was not worried about whether a blind man could charge a phone.
Jordan also hoped to use this identity to establish a private connection with Victoria, so he nodded.
“Yes, I do.”
Victoria didn’t say anything else and quickly drove to the office. After arriving at the office, Ashley said that the new President of Ace Corporation had arrived. Victoria was extremely excited.
She was thrilled at having reconnected with her long-lost “father”, and in her high spirits, she happily boasted that she would make the new President bow down to her.
However, when Victoria walked into the office and saw that the President was Jordan, she fell to her knees.
Victoria knelt not only because she was surprised by the change in Jordan’s identity, but also because she was amazed by her “father”.
‘Oh my god, Daddy divined correctly. I’m really going to be with Jordan!’
Victoria had fallen in love with Jordan at first sight. The only thing that didn’t match was their status.
Now that Jordan had transformed into the new President, he was Victoria’s superior. Every woman looked up to their superior.
It was inevitable that Victoria regarded Jordan as her perfect match.
While Victoria was in the company, Jordan returned to his new home in the New City residential estate. Together with Shaun’s medical team, they developed an antidote for him.
Rong Huangde’s poison was indeed different from ordinary poisons. It was very difficult to deal with.
However, Jordan was a Deity. He had already developed the heaven-defying mind-transplant procedure. It was only a matter of time before he could come up with the antidote.
At five in the afternoon, Victoria’s phone rang in Jordan’s pocket.
Jordan paused his work and asked the people around him to keep quiet before answering the call.
“Hello.”
“Sir, are you home? I just came out of the company. Let me pick you up for dinner,” said Victoria.
Jordan looked at the time and said, “Alright, I have set up a booth nearby. Come over.”
After hanging up, Jordan said to Shaun, “Victoria asked me out for dinner. Let’s end today’s research here for now. I’ll come back tomorrow morning.”
Jordan quickly got into the car and returned to Victoria’s residence.
Victoria brought Jordan to the Times restaurant for dinner. She had chosen this place because when Victoria was a young girl, her father brought her here to eat when they came to Orlando for a holiday.
It was a very elegant restaurant with exquisite private rooms.
Victoria personally poured a cup of tea for Jordan. “Sir, you’re brilliant. Yesterday, you said that Jordan and I are fated to be together. Today, we really met again. Moreover, he has become my superior. Jordan is the top man in Ace Corporation. His family must be very powerful and he must be worth billions!”
Jordan took a sip of tea and smiled. “You have underestimated his wealth.”
Victoria said in surprise, “Does Jordan’s family have tens of billions in assets? Oh my god, Sir, if he was just a live-in son-in-law, I would still have the confidence to woo him. However, his background is so good now. I’m afraid… I’m afraid I’m not worthy of him.”
Jordan said seriously, “Nonsense. Who said you’re not worthy of him? You’re the number one beautiful CEO of Orlando. Be it your beauty or abilities, no one in Orlando can compare to you! As for your family background, it isn’t bad either. If your father was still alive, your family would be the richest in Houston. You would be the noblest heiress in Houston!”
Jordan hated it when Victoria kept saying that she was not worthy of him, especially after she knew about Jordan’s family background and his identity as a Deity. He hoped that Victoria would maintain the pride of a formidable businesswoman, like when they first met.
If Victoria kept feeling inferior to him, she would be even more unable to forgive herself in the future when she found out about her betrayal.
Just like how Hailey had been so arrogant even after she betrayed Jordan. She did not attempt suicide or even squeezed out a word of apology. Instead, she scolded Jordan for being useless.
This was a result of their unequal status when they were husband and wife.
It was not good for either side to be too strong or too weak.
When Victoria heard Jordan’s encouraging words, she was even more certain that the person in front of her was her father!
Victoria was stunned for a moment. She looked at Jordan affectionately and asked, “If my father was still alive… would our family really be the richest in Houston? Would I… enjoy life like those other rich heiresses?”
Jordan knew that Victoria was thinking of her father and nodded.
“Definitely. You must believe that your father is the most outstanding man in the world. He will sacrifice everything to bring you a happy life.”
Victoria nearly cried when she heard this.
“Sir, let’s have some more wine. What do you want to drink?”
Victoria wanted to drink with her father like yesterday.
If anything, she wanted to get even more drunk than yesterday. Perhaps after she was drunk, she would have the courage to ask her father why he didn’t acknowledge her!
However, Jordan refused. “No, you’re a girl. It’s not good to drink too much. You drank a lot yesterday. It’s best not to drink for two consecutive days.”
Jordan was very concerned about Victoria’s health. He knew that Victoria had been working hard in Orlando for the past seven years. In order to deal with those big bosses in Orlando, she had to drink a lot.
It couldn’t be helped. In the business world, it was very common for top executives to drink while entertaining each other and discussing deals. Orlando was not like New York City but it still had a
relatively developed business scene.
“Yes, I’ll listen to you. I won’t if you don’t want me to.”
Victoria looked very obedient, just like the young girl who listened to her father 10 years ago.
The two of them enjoyed their meal until 10 PM before leaving the restaurant.
Victoria took the wheel. She opened the window a little and listened to music as they drove around.
[Please don’t forget our past relationship. I’m willing to silently cry. I really want to leave with you forever.]
[No matter how much the world has changed, we can only pursue it in the wind. We don’t want to stay alone.]
The car was going at 80 miles an hour, and a moving song played on the car stereo.
Victoria remembered that this was her father’s favorite song. She recalled listening to him playing this song in the car when she was young.
“Sir, you’ve heard this song before, right? Do you know how to sing it? I want to hear you sing it.”
Jordan said, “I often listen to this song. It’s an old song from decades ago, but my singing isn’t good enough.”
Victoria smiled. She knew that her father had a good singing voice.
And he loved to sing.
However, since he didn’t want to sing, Victoria didn’t force him to. Instead, she sang along with the music.
She sang for her father.
In this manner, Victoria drove around aimlessly with Jordan. Suddenly, the car came to a very quiet place without any street lamps.
Jordan suddenly had a bad feeling.
He glanced at the sign on the right. It read: 7th Street.
Chapter 927
“7th Street, Orlando? Why do I feel that this place is so familiar?”
Jordan felt like he knew this place, but he couldn’t remember why.
Buzz…
A Maserati sped past them.
The yellow Maserati attracted Jordan’s attention because Hailey’s brother, Drew, drove a yellow Maserati.
Jordan looked at the license plate number. It ended with 829. That was Drew’s birthday.
The car belonged to Drew!
‘Strange, why would Drew, a rich second-generation heir, come to such a remote place? I remember that Drew stole an $800,000 watch from his family today and was going to frame me for it. Tomorrow, Drew will accuse me of stealing the watch. He will also say that after I stole it, I sold it to the local tyrant of Orlando, Salvatore.’
At this thought, Jordan instantly understood why Drew was here!
“I remember now. 7th Street in Orlando is Salvatore’s territory! Drew must be here for Salvatore!”
Salvatore was one of Jordan’s most loyal and capable subordinates. Jordan should be very happy to meet him.
However, at this moment, Jordan was not happy at all. Instead, he was filled with worry!
Salvatore had contributed a lot to Jordan over the past two years. He had participated in many fierce battles for Jordan. But Jordan knew very well that Salvatore was very loyal and obedient to his boss.
But he was a terrible tyrant to outsiders!
Jordan was very worried that something would happen to him and Victoria here. He immediately instructed Victoria.
“Ms. Clarke, it’s getting late. Let’s go home now.” novelbin
[The tides retreat and rise, the moon’s cold wind and frost.]
[The night rain’s wild imagination, the faint fragrance of wildflowers.]
Victoria was still singing some old songs that her father loved. She was singing happily.
Victoria smiled brightly like an 18-year-old girl.
“I like this feeling. Driving and listening to music like this reminds me of my happy childhood. I don’t want to go back so early.”
Of course, Jordan liked this feeling too! He had been with Victoria for two years and thought that he had seen every side of her.
However, Jordan had never seen Victoria acting like a spoiled little girl before.
Victoria only behaved like this in front of her father.
Jordan said seriously, “I’m not feeling well. Turn around immediately. I want to go back.”
Victoria insisted on driving forward so Jordan had no choice but to use a commanding tone, disrupting their beautiful mood.
Victoria gave in.
“Alright then.”
Victoria gradually slowed down and prepared to turn around.
However, just as she turned the car around, a few young men with tattoos and sharp weapons were suddenly standing in front of the car, blocking their path!
“Oh no.”
Jordan already felt that something was wrong earlier on, but he was still a step too late. The two of them had already entered the depths of Salvatore’s territory and were discovered by his subordinates.
Honk honk.
Victoria honked twice, but they did not move.
Victoria was indeed the vice president of a listed company. Even in such a situation, she did not panic. She took out her phone and prepared to call the police.
However, she was surprised to find that she couldn’t make the call.
A hooligan with a cigarette in his mouth walked over and knocked on the car window on Victoria’s side.
“Stop calling. We just cut off the reception here. You can’t make any calls out of this area. Come down. Let’s talk. Don’t worry, our boss never lets anyone hurt the rich and beautiful. You have both qualities. As long as you’re willing to give us what we want, I guarantee that you can leave safely.”
Even now, Victoria didn’t look very flustered because she thought that her father was beside her. She was 30 years old now, and her father was already an elderly man. Her father had protected her when she was young, so now, it was her turn to protect her father.
Victoria suddenly held Jordan’s hand and said, “Sir, you don’t have to worry. I must have entered the territory of Orlando’s local tyrant, Salvatore. I have many friends who have some connection with him. I’ll take out some money to settle things. It’ll be fine.”
Jordan nodded. With his current identity, it was not appropriate for him to say anything.
Victoria opened the car door bravely and got out.
The moment Victoria alighted, the hooligans exclaimed.
“Wow.”
“Oh my god, she’s super fair, rich and beautiful. Goddamn, she’s driving a Porsche Palmera that costs more than $200,000, and she is so gorgeous!”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Damn, I know who to fantasize about tonight. With these legs and face, it’s fair to say that she’s the number one beauty in Orlando!”
“The number one beauty in Orlando is Hailey! The person in front of us is just an old auntie. It’s just that she took good care of herself!”
Hailey was indeed the number one beauty in Orlando, she was famous even among hooligans.
Jordan also alighted to prevent these hooligans from harming Victoria.
Victoria faced the foremost hooligan, who was smoking. She felt that this person’s aura was clearly stronger. He should be the leader of this group.
Victoria asked, “Mister, is this Salvatore’s territory?”
The other party nodded.
Victoria said, “Oh, I’ve heard of Salvatore’s great name. He has a major influence in Orlando. Actually, I have some good friends who are also very well-acquainted with Salvatore. They’ve worked very closely together before.”
The hooligan looked surprised. “Oh? Are you looking for Salvatore for business reasons? Come, come up.”
But Victoria didn’t dare to go meet Salvatore. She was a woman and only hung out in Orlando’s high- end business circles. She never wanted to get involved with matters of the criminal underworld.
Victoria said, “Oh, no, no. I just happened to pass by and disturbed everyone. How about this? Let me give you $5,000 as compensation.”
Victoria went to the car and took out $5,000 cash for the hooligan.
But the hooligan was not tempted by that cash at all.
He took a puff of his cigarette and arrogantly blew the smoke onto Victoria’s face!
“You’re asking for it!”
Jordan clenched his fists. He wished he could beat this hooligan to death!
Victoria was also very angry. She had learned Taekwondo before. She believed that she would win this hooligan in a one-on-one fight.
However, she had to endure it.
The arrogant hooligan said, “According to Salvatore’s rules, everyone who comes here is a guest. You have to go and meet him. Put the money down first. The two of you, come with me to see Salvatore!”
Chapter 928
Even after being caught up in this situation, Victoria remained calm and did not panic.
She had worked in Orlando for seven years and had many connections here. Moreover, she knew very well that although Salvatore was not a good person, this was the era of money.
These people would never dare to hurt anyone for no reason. They would only hurt them if someone else paid them to. As long as they had money, they could bribe even the King of Hell and his minions.
Victoria walked up to Jordan and held his arm.
“Sir, don’t be afraid. We’ll go and greet the boss here. Don’t worry, I’ve been in Orlando for seven years. I can handle this situation.”
Victoria said this to comfort her “father” and not let him worry about her.
Jordan nodded and did not say anything. They were led to a three-story building. After walking up the stairs, the hooligan pushed open the door. His tone was not very respectful as he said casually, “Boss, a rich woman is here. She drives a Porsche.”
A burly man with dreadlocks was in the room. He had copied the hairstyle of NBA star Carmelo Anthony. This man was Salvatore!
‘Salvatore looked so young two years ago.’
Looking at his subordinate Salvatore from 2020, Jordan instantly felt that he looked rather inexperienced.
After following Jordan, Salvatore shed his dreadlocks and looked much more mature and steady.
At this moment, Salvatore was sitting on the sofa watching television when he looked up at Victoria and Jordan.
Victoria took the initiative to walk forward and said respectfully, “Mr. Salvatore, I’m sorry to barge into your territory so late at night. I’m…”
Victoria was about to reveal her identity and tell him the names of a few Orlando big shots whom Salvatore knew.
But Salvatore stood up in surprise when he saw Victoria.
“Yo, isn’t this the number one beautiful CEO of Orlando, Ms. Clarke from Ace Corporation?”
Salvatore had clearly heard of Victoria.
Victoria smiled. “You’ve heard of me? That’s great.”
Victoria relaxed. Since they knew each other, nothing bad would happen today.
Salvatore smiled. “Not only have I heard of you, I almost sent someone to kidnap you and deliver you to a big bed in a villa in Orlando.”
The smile on Victoria’s face instantly disappeared.
“What?”
Salvatore quickly added. “Haha, don’t misunderstand. It’s not that I want to do anything to you. It’s just that a certain CEO in Orlando has always loved you but couldn’t get you. He’s been chasing you for more than half a year, but you won’t even let him hold your hand.
“So, one time, he drank too much and contacted me. He said that he wanted me to kidnap you. He wanted to use force to get you. However, before I could do it, two other CEOs, also from Orlando and
worth hundreds of millions, received the news and immediately came to find me. They offered me twice the original fee and told me not to find trouble with you.
“Hehe, Ms. Clarke is really something. All the rich CEOs in Orlando are infatuated with you! I’ve admired Ms. Clarke for a long time. What a coincidence for you to come to my territory today. I have to have a drink with you!”
“Dale, prepare some food and drinks. I want to entertain Ms. Clarke!”
The hooligan who brought Victoria and Jordan upstairs, reluctantly turned to go and prepare the food and drinks.
Victoria hurriedly said, “Mr. Salvatore, I’m really sorry. We just finished dinner and this old man isn’t feeling well. I have to send him back to rest. How about this? I’ll treat Mr. Zeller and you to a meal another day, okay?”
Smack!
Unexpectedly, Salvatore slammed the table angrily.
“Victoria, don’t try to use Mr. Zeller to pressure me! I know you know him! What? So you can wine and dine all those rich Orlando bosses, charming the socks off them, but you can’t eat with me? Do you look down on me because I’m a gangster? You find my place shabby and not as luxurious as a hotel’s private room? Is that it?”
Victoria knew that Salvatore was just feeling inferior. As the boss, he needed to maintain his dignity in front of his subordinates. Otherwise, they would not submit to him.
And so, Victoria quickly corrected herself. “How can that be? Mr. Salvatore, you have such a high status in Orlando. I often hear Mr. Zeller and the others talking about you. I was just too worried about
my friend’s health. You’re right. It isn’t every day I get to meet Mr. Salvatore. I should share a drink with you.”
Victoria knew that she couldn’t leave without at least having one drink with Salvatore.
These people had a lot of pride. As long as Victoria showed them enough respect, they could leave safely even without offering any money.
After all, they had big bosses like Mr. Zeller in common.
Salvatore nodded in satisfaction and sat down again.
“Dale, serve the wine!”
Dale brought over a bottle of wine and two glasses. He handed them to Victoria. Victoria took the wine bottle and walked towards Salvatore respectfully, preparing to pour wine for him.
“Wait a minute!”
Jordan stopped her.
What a joke!
Salvatore was a servant and Victoria was his master’s wife. How could she pour wine for a subordinate?!
“Ms. Clarke, put the wine down,” Jordan said to Victoria.
Only then did Salvatore notice Jordan. He said unhappily, “Who are you, old man? Why are you wearing sunglasses at night? Do you think you’re Neo from the Matrix?”
“What’s wrong?” Victoria asked.
Jordan said, “You can’t pour wine for him.”
Salvatore was annoyed. “Why can’t she pour wine for me?! She often serves those big bosses. Why can’t she serve me today?!”
Jordan said bluntly, “You’re a servant and she’s your master. How can a master pour wine for a servant?”
Given that Jordan was a noble Deity and Victoria was his wife, she was the extremely noble wife of a Deity.
He would never allow his wife to do such a lowly thing.
This person in front of him was his subordinate. This made things very complicated.
If it were Salvatore from 2022, he would definitely agree with Jordan’s actions today.
Salvatore from 2022 knew his place.
However, Salvatore from 2020 had no idea that Victoria would be his future master.
Salvatore said angrily, “B*stard! You damn old man, how dare you call me a servant? Are you tired of living?!”
Victoria thought that Jordan was her father and she knew very well that her father would not want to see his daughter being forced to serve others. Therefore, Victoria quickly intervened.
“Mr. Salvatore, don’t be angry. This old man is blind. He relies on his fortune-telling business to make a living and is homeless. You’re such a big shot. No need to fuss with a poor fortune-teller.”
Victoria was very smart. She deliberately praised Salvatore and emphasized his high status, so that he would not deign himself to attack a lowly fortune-teller.
As expected, Salvatore had wanted to beat Jordan up, but he held back after hearing Victoria’s words. However, what would his subordinates think of him if he didn’t retaliate after being called a servant by others? novelbin
Salvatore snorted. “Fortune-teller? Alright, I won’t bully you. Old man, you are very good at fortune- telling? I’ll give you a chance to read my fortune!”
Chapter 929
“Tell your fortune?”
Jordan stared at Salvatore, who had been his subordinate for the past two years.
Was there anyone more familiar with Salvatore than Jordan?
“Sure.”
Jordan was filled with confidence and gladly accepted.
Even if Jordan didn’t have the Deity ability to predict the future, it would be easy for him to read Salvatore’s fortune. He could tell his fortune even with his eyes closed.
Salvatore never believed in fortune-telling. In his opinion, a person’s social status was a reflection of his abilities.
If a person read fortunes under a bridge and lived a poor life, how could he be a master? If he really had the ability, wouldn’t he have bought a house long ago? Would he have come out to suffer like this?
Salvatore wanted to take revenge on Jordan. “I’m warning you. If you read my fortune wrongly, I’ll teach you a lesson!”
Victoria knew that Salvatore was not joking. She hurried forward and was about to say something to Jordan.
But Jordan just grabbed Victoria’s arm and shook his head at her.
It was child’s play for him to tell Salvatore’s fortune.
Jordan said calmly, “Let’s begin. Do you want me to focus on your career or your love life?”
When Salvatore saw how confident Jordan looked, he was worried that Jordan would divine correctly.
So Salvatore decided to make things difficult for him. “Let’s not talk about that. Since you’re the fortune- teller whom Ms. Clarke trusts so much, you must be very powerful. How about this? Tell me who has the greatest influence on me in this life!”
Victoria immediately objected. “Mr. Salvatore, you’re making things too difficult for the old man. It’s our first time meeting you. How would we know what you’ve experienced in the past? How would we know who has influenced you the most?”
Salvatore gave a wicked smile, “Hey, isn’t this old man quite awesome? It’s our first time meeting, but he called me a servant. Indeed, I’m a servant to a certain person. But you have to guess who that person is!”
Jordan smiled. It was too easy to guess. Salvatore’s achievements today were all thanks to Pablo.
Without Pablo, there would be no Salvatore.
Therefore, the person who influenced Salvatore the most must be Pablo.
Although Jordan knew the answer, he couldn’t immediately say it out loud. He had to put on an act. So he took out a coin and tossed it at Salvatore.
“I have a dime here. Toss it into the air and see if it’s heads or tails after it lands. If it’s heads, draw a circle on the paper. It is a masculine symbol. If it’s tails, draw a cross on the paper. It is a feminine symbol. Toss it six times in a row, and make a drawing for each toss.”
Salvatore held the coin and muttered softly, “You still want to play such tricks. I’ll play along with you for now. Let’s see how I’ll deal with you later if you guess wrongly!”
Salvatore did as Jordan said and flipped the coin six times.
“I’m done. Here!”
“Be careful!”
Salvatore tossed the coin back to Jordan.
Victoria, who was beside Jordan, was afraid that the coin would hit her “father”. She reached out and caught it with her slender fingers.
Salvatore couldn’t help exclaiming, “Ms. Clarke, you’re pretty skilled!”
Victoria glanced at Salvatore in disdain before returning the coin to Jordan.
Jordan asked, “Tell me the results.”
Salvatore glanced at the paper and said, “Circle, circle, cross, cross, cross, cross!”
Of course, Jordan witnessed the entire process and knew that Salvatore was reporting the truth. But Jordan still cautiously turned toward Victoria.
“Is that so? I can’t see. Don’t lie to me!”
Victoria smiled. “Yes, it is indeed as Mr. Salvatore said. He didn’t lie.”
Salvatore said disdainfully, “What a joke. I’m a big boss in Orlando. Would I lie to a blind old man like you? Hurry up and divine! I want to see what you can do!”
Jordan pretended to be seriously divining as he slowly said, “Circle, circle, cross, cross, cross, cross. This corresponds to the Wind Divination Rune. I can see the image of a pond filled with lotus flowers. When there is a drought, the water will dry up and the flowers will wither.
“Suddenly, there was torrential rain and the flowers flourished. Salvatore, you’re quite lucky to have gotten this divination. This means that you’ll receive help from a benefactor!”
Salvatore was confused. He could understand every single word spoken by Jordan, but somehow, he couldn’t understand the overall meaning.
Salvatore said, “Cut the crap. Of course I need the help of a benefactor. Without that, would I have my current achievements? What I’m asking is, who is this benefactor? What is their name? If you have the ability, divine it!”
Jordan shook his head. “No, I am talking about your future, not the past.”
Salvatore was surprised and he thought to himself: ‘Oh? Will I meet another benefactor after Mr. Dalton?’
Still, Salvatore didn’t fully believe him. He insisted, “Don’t talk about the future. I wouldn’t know even if you just gave me a random name. I want you to tell me about the person who had the deepest influence on me in the past!”
Jordan divined again and said, “According to my calculations, this person should be a man. He…”
Salvatore frowned and interrupted, “That’s not right. Didn’t you say that the circle is masculine and the cross is feminine? I drew two circles and four crosses. So it should be a woman, right?”
Jordan gave an awkward pause. He didn’t expect Salvatore to be so sharp. novelbin
Jordan coughed. “Salvatore, you don’t know anything about divination. I just told you that this corresponds to the Wind Divination Rune. This rune signifies a man.”
Salvatore didn’t know anything about divination but he believed that Jordan was trying to fool him. He continued to probe. “Why does the Wind Divination Rune signify a man?”
Jordan continued to lie. “The wind can travel the world. Isn’t this what a man is like?”
Salvatore thought for a moment and replied, “That makes sense! Alright, you’re right. It’s a man. What’s his name?”
Victoria cut in again. “It is too difficult to divine the actual name. Mr. Salvatore, you’re making things too difficult for him.”
Jordan reached out his hand, indicating that it was alright.
Jordan pointed at Salvatore’s lackey. “Salvatore, I heard you calling him Dale just now?”
Salvatore nodded. “Yes, why?”
Jordan said, “I divined that the closest subordinate to you is somehow linked to your benefactor. If I’m not wrong, your benefactor’s surname is Dalton, right?”
Hearing this, Salvatore was stunned!
Chapter 930
“F*ck! He really guessed it!”
Salvatore looked incredulous. He couldn’t believe that this fortune-teller managed to guess correctly.
Victoria was also very surprised. She didn’t know how her father had guessed it.
Did her father really learn how to read fortunes over the past 10 years?
Actually, Jordan already knew the answer.
All he needed to do was to find a proper way to reveal the answer to Salvatore, so as to trick him. Even if Salvatore’s lackey wasn’t called Dale but Sammy or something.
Jordan would use some other way to link to the word “Dalton”.
Speaking of Dale, Jordan found it a little strange because he had never seen him before.
As Salvatore had been with Jordan for two years, he had done many things for him. While Jordan had seen all of Salvatore’s closest subordinates, he had never seen Dale before.
Salvatore clapped in shock. “Not bad, old man. You guessed right. If you have the ability, guess his first and middle name!”
“Oh f*ck, I shouldn’t have told you that my benefactor has a middle name too.”
Jordan smiled. “I already knew before you said so. It’s written on the divination. Your benefactor has a first, middle and last name.”
Salvatore asked in a puzzled voice,
“Where is it written? Aren’t there two circles and four crosses? It’s either two names or four names. How does he have three names?”
Jordan didn’t know how to answer the question. He couldn’t think of any good excuse so he just said in an annoyed tone,
“Will you understand even if I tell you? Are you a divination master? Don’t interrupt me!”
This time, Salvatore backed off. “Alright, you’re awesome. You know your stuff. Guessing the surname isn’t that impressive. If you have the ability to guess his first and middle names, I’ll acknowledge you as my master!”
Jordan stroked his beard and pretended to look like an expert.
“You flipped the coin six times just now. It was a cross four times. In other words, it was heads four times. Therefore, the second word of your benefactor’s name is…”
Jordan was about to say that the middle name was “Headly”, which was indeed Pablo’s middle name.
Dale suddenly said, “That’s not right. Salvatore, when you referred to heads, did you mean the side with Roosevelt’s face? Or the side with the torch?”
Salvatore was confused. “The side with the torch, is there a problem? Isn’t that right?”
Dale said, “Of course not! The side with Roosevelt’s face is heads! If you don’t believe me, I’ll use my phone to check for you.”
Dale took out his phone and did an internet search. He showed Salvatore the results.
Salvatore smacked his forehead. “Oh my god, I’ve always thought the reverse was true.”
Jordan was also stunned. Strangely, he had the same misconception as Salvatore! This was partly because Jordan spent most of his growing-up years overseas, so he was not familiar with US coins.
Nevertheless, Jordan was not stumped by this little misunderstanding.
Jordan said calmly, “Fortunately, Dale reminded me. I almost forgot that this is 2020. 2020 is the year of the reverse. All the results have to be reversed. You threw out four tails but we have to reverse it. So your benefactor’s middle name is Headly, right?”
Salvatore was dumbfounded. He was equally amazed by Jordan’s accuracy and his ability to twist things around.
Circles, crosses, wind runes, lotus flowers, and now “year of the reverse”?
Why had he never heard of such a thing before?
Salvatore was a little speechless. “I say, Grandpa, the way you deduced the name Headly is a little too far-fetched, isn’t it?”
If Dale hadn’t said anything about the heads and tails of the coin, the old man probably wouldn’t have talked about the bullsh*t year of the reverse!
Jordan said, “Who cares if it’s far-fetched or not? Just tell me if my divination is correct!”
Salvatore was an honest person. He lowered his head and said indignantly, “Yes, you guessed it right. If you have the guts, guess the first name now!”
Jordan glanced around the room and suddenly heard the sound of a mosquito.
“Is that a mosquito?”
Jordan suddenly asked.
Smack!
Salvatore slapped the mosquito to death and said, “It’s normal to have mosquitoes in this area.”
Jordan smiled faintly and was about to speak.
Unexpectedly, Victoria seemed to have figured out Jordan’s plan and interrupted.
“Sir! I know! A mosquito appeared beside Mr. Salvatore. Is his first name Moses? Mr. Salvatore’s benefactor is called Moses Headly Dalton, right?!”
“Haha, you’re wrong!”
Salvatore was thrilled.
Jordan scolded Victoria. “Why did you make that guess? The art of divination is unfathomable. How can it be as simple as that?”
Victoria pouted like a spoiled daughter in front of her father. “I’m sorry, Sir. Then his first name is…”
Jordan said, “His first name is indeed related to this mosquito, but it’s not that simple. Let me ask you, is a mosquito considered big or small?”
Victoria was stunned for a moment before answering, “Small.”
Jordan nodded. “That’s right. Salvatore’s benefactor’s first name is Pablo, which means ‘little’ in Spanish.”
“Salvatore, your benefactor’s name is Pablo Headly Dalton! Am I right?!”
‘Oh my god!’
Salvatore was completely stunned!
‘This was too f*cking ridiculous!’
Jordan was clearly forcing the circumstances to fit the answer. He had even lectured Victoria that the art of divination was not that simple.
Everyone thought that Jordan would use some complicated reasoning to deduce the first name.
But it turned out to be just a random mosquito!
In fact, deducing the name to be Moses would be more reasonable than the name Pablo!
Salvatore gasped. “Impossible, it’s impossible for you to have guessed. Did you already know about our relationship?”
From Salvatore’s words, Victoria knew that Jordan had guessed correctly. She was overjoyed.
Victoria spoke up for Jordan. “Mr. Salvatore, this old man is a fortune-teller. How would he know about your world? Mr. Salvatore, a big man like you won’t be a sore loser, right?”
Salvatore felt very helpless. He thought for a moment and said, “Old man, you’re quite capable. But if you really did know about my relationship with Pablo, I’ll be a fool to let you off today! How about this? I’ll let you divine another one. If you can divine what kind of woman I like, I’ll admit that you’re really capable! I’ll bow to you and acknowledge you as my master!”
What kind of woman did Salvatore like?
This was too simple.
Salvatore was infatuated with Emily.
In his eyes, even Lauren, Victoria, Hailey, Lota, Park Anya and all the other peerless beauties could not compare to the “ordinary” Emily Clarke!
