The Abandoned Husband Dominates Chapter 931-940

Chapter 931

Salvatore was a firm supporter of Emily. Young, cute, innocent and beautiful girls with good figures like Emily were his favorite.

Jordan said, “I’ve already divined what kind of woman you like. I’ll show you a photo soon. She is your favorite type. If I’m right, you don’t have to bow to me. Just pour a cup of wine for Ms. Clarke respectfully.”

Salvatore slapped his thigh. “Alright! I don’t believe you can even divine my type!”

All men loved beautiful women, but there were different types of beautiful women. Mature and nurturing, sweet and demure, domineering and bossy.

Salvatore favored pure and innocent women like Emily. He was not interested in other types.

Therefore, it was rather difficult to guess correctly at random.

This was because there were different types of pure and innocent. For example, just by looking at the photos, Hailey also looked like the pure type. Moreover, she had a good figure and was even more beautiful than Emily.

However, Hailey was not Salvatore’s type. She was too perfect and too unattainable for him. He preferred girls who appeared more down-to-earth and who gave off a more homely feeling.

Jordan waved at Victoria, gesturing for her to come over.

“Find a photo of your sister. No need to show her face. Just one of those full-body selfies from neck down.”

“My sister?”

Victoria was momentarily taken aback. She didn’t expect “Daddy” to choose to take out Emily’s photo.

Was he so sure that Salvatore liked girls like Emily?

Victoria was very obedient. She took out her phone and opened Emily’s social media page. She found a selfie that Emily had just taken two days ago.

This was a photo taken during work, so Emily was wearing a flight attendant uniform. The flight attendant uniform showed off Emily’s sexy figure.

Any man who saw Emily’s photo would feel a certain urge.

As she was taking a selfie with her phone, only half of Emily’s face was revealed. This was also a form of protection for Emily, in case Salvatore remembered her face and used improper methods to get her.

Victoria showed Emily’s photo to Salvatore.

“Mr. Salvatore, look at this girl. Is she your type?”

Salvatore glanced casually. But he was immediately dumbstruck. Soon, he was drooling.

“Oh my god… these long legs, that pure and fair face. I love it, I love it! I love this type of beautiful air stewardess!”

Salvatore was convinced this time.

Previously, Jordan had guessed right about Pablo. But it was possible that he had heard of Salvatore and Pablo’s relationship.

But it was truly amazing that he could divine what kind of girl Salvatore liked.

Only his two trusted subordinates knew. Even Pablo did not know what kind of girl Salvatore liked!

Salvatore wanted to see a few more photos of Emily. He wanted to know who the girl was.

But Victoria rejected him.

Salvatore wasn’t angry. His expression completely changed as he smiled at Victoria and Jordan.

“Ms. Clarke, Master, please sit down. I’ll pour you some wine!”

Salvatore personally picked up the bottle of wine and poured a glass each for Victoria and Jordan. Bending over, Salvatore respectfully poured wine for them.

“It’s my honor to meet big shots like Ms. Clarke and Master today! Dale, go to my room. Take out my treasure chest. I want to give Ms. Clarke and Master a gift!”

However, Dale did not move at all.

Dale stared at Salvatore with a sinister expression. “Salvatore, as our boss, you actually poured wine for two uninvited guests and are even behaving like a servant! A useless person like you isn’t worthy to be our boss!”

Salvatore was furious. “How dare you! Dale, what’s with your attitude?! How dare you speak to your boss like that! You don’t want to stay in Orlando anymore?!”

Dale snorted. “That’s right. I don’t want to stay here anymore!”

After Dale finished speaking, the people behind him stood up and said to Salvatore,

“We also don’t want to work for you anymore!”

Salvatore turned pale with fright. “Don’t… don’t forget, before Pablo left, he instructed that if anyone wants to leave, they have to leave a finger behind!”

Dale gave a wicked smile. “Brothers, Salvatore wants to cut off our fingers. What do you say?”

A blonde man shouted, “Let’s cut some fingers then!”

With that, seven to eight men picked up a knife each.

However, they had no intention of cutting off their fingers. Instead, they charged toward Salvatore!

“Sh*t!”

Jordan knew that something was wrong. Dale and the rest were trying to rebel!

He had never expected to encounter Salvatore’s subordinates turning against him today, and all because of Victoria’s mistake in driving here.

Salvatore also knew it was a rebellion. He shouted, “Dale, Danny, what are you doing?! Are you trying to rebel?! Fabian! Alvin! Come in and deal with these traitors!”

Holding a knife, Dale smiled fearlessly. “Salvatore, stop shouting. Fabian and Alvin went to the KTV to enjoy themselves. Do you think I would dare to attack you if they were here? Hehe, we need to leave our fingers behind to leave this place, but we all cherish our fingers too much. You’ve been our boss for so long. It’s not too much to ask you to share our burden, right?”

Salvatore took a step back in fear. “What… what do you want!”

He could tell that Dale wanted to cut off his finger! Not only that, Dale might also take this opportunity to kill Salvatore and replace him as the new underground boss of Orlando!

A civil war in the criminal underworld was about to happen.

Victoria was smart and knew that if she stayed here and saw Dale kill Salvatore. Dale would never let Victoria go. He would definitely kill her and the old man after killing Salvatore!

Therefore, Victoria hurriedly pulled Jordan to his feet. “We have overstayed our welcome. We’ll take our leave first.”

Victoria was about to leave when Dale stopped her. “Don’t go, beautiful CEO. The women I play with are all cheap goods that cost less than $100. I’ve never enjoyed a CEO with such a high status like you. Let us have a good time today before you go, okay?”

Danny also laughed. “Hahaha, Victoria, it’s your fault for being so unlucky. You strayed into our territory on the very day we decided to rebel. It’s impossible for you to get out alive. Today, we will rape you first before killing you!”

Chapter 932

One of the hooligans walked toward Victoria with a wicked smile and surrounded her.

Beside Victoria, there was only an old, blind fortune-teller. Anyone would think that there was no hope for Victoria.

Those hooligans all believed that today, they could have this beautiful businesswoman that many other big bosses could not!

Lust appeared on the faces of Dale and the others.

Even Salvatore couldn’t endure this scene.

“Dale, are you crazy?! Victoria has powerful connections in Orlando. She knows so many rich people. If you dare to touch her, those multi-millionaires will not let you off!”

Dale spat at Salvatore and said angrily, “F*ck, you coward. You’re about to die, yet you still have the mood to plead for mercy for Victoria? I’m not as cowardly as you, not daring to provoke anyone with a little background. She’s just a social butterfly. What’s the big deal?! Today, I’ll show you how we can sleep with this number one beautiful CEO of Orlando!”

Dale and the others slowly approached Victoria!

Victoria panicked. These people were all professional fighters armed with knives. Although Victoria had learned some Taekwondo, it was impossible for her to deal with so many hooligans at the same time.

Victoria bit her lip sadly, her heart thumping wildly.

“Am I really going to fall into the hands of these scoundrels today? Why are the heavens doing this to me? I didn’t really love my first man. Then I waited seven years just to find one whom I truly loved! To

think that after waiting for seven years, this is the outcome! And it will be in front of my father… Daddy will be so distressed to see me being ravaged…”

Victoria had mixed feelings and was extremely sad.

At this moment, Jordan stood up.

He walked up to Victoria and stood in front of her.

“Daddy…” Victoria cried out.

Jordan was furious. Not only did these hooligans betray Salvatore, but they also dared to be disrespectful to Victoria! After what they just said to Victoria, it was impossible for Jordan to let them live!

Seeing Jordan step forward, Dale smiled disdainfully. “Yo, old fortune-teller, what? Do you want to be a hero and protect Victoria? Haha, even a blind man dares to play the hero. Old man, get lost. I’ll let you live another two years on account that you’re blind!”

But Jordan did not move. His expression gradually changed.

Seeing Jordan’s change in expression, Dale carefully sized him up again.

“Strange, I didn’t notice earlier. Why is this old man so muscular?!”

After Dale pointed this out, everyone sized up Jordan’s physique.

No one else had realized it but after Dale pointed it out, they realized that none of them, who were all trained fighters, looked as muscular as Jordan!

“Damn, why does this old man still have muscles? This doesn’t make sense! My grandfather isn’t as old as him and he is already skinny with saggy skin! He’s definitely not that old! Dale, be careful. He

might be pretending to be weak. From his voice, I think he’s at most 50 years old.”

Dale smiled. “Alright. Victoria, in the seven years you’ve been in Orlando, you haven’t had a single boyfriend. So many big shots have wooed you, but none of them have gotten you. I was puzzled at that time. You’re a woman in her 30s. How can you endure not dating for seven years?

“So the truth is that all along, you’ve always had a muscular man by your side. He disguised himself as an old man to fool people! This old fortune-teller should be your lover, right?”

The blonde man agreed with a smile. “Dale is right. They must have that kind of relationship. I’m guessing that he is Victoria’s toy boy. Tsk, tsk, tsk. I knew this woman couldn’t stand the loneliness, haha.”

Victoria was furious at being insulted like this. “B*stards! How dare you slander me like this? I’ll never let you off!”

“You won’t let us off? Hehe, what a coincidence. We don’t plan to let you off tonight either! Brothers, attack!”

The hooligans immediately attacked Jordan and Victoria.

Jordan was not afraid at all. He punched the hooligan in the front, causing him to vomit blood.

However, Dale circled behind Jordan and slashed at his back.

“Be careful!”

Victoria immediately lifted her leg and kicked the knife out of Dale’s hand, afraid that it would hurt Jordan.

Actually, Jordan had noticed Dale and knew that he would slash him. In fact, he did not intend to dodge at all because he planned to subdue all of them in the shortest time possible.

If he dodged everyone who came at him, he would waste a few seconds.

These people were not worthy of even a few seconds of Jordan’s time.

Moreover, Jordan’s body had been injected with the Mirakuru serum. He would withstand a bullet, let alone a knife.

Dale’s blade could not hurt Jordan at all.

Jordan knew that Victoria had no idea about any of this. She was just worried about him. In addition, she knew a little Taekwondo herself, so she threw a kick to help him.

However, Victoria’s actions put herself in danger. If Victoria hadn’t attacked, Jordan would have knocked everyone unconscious within a second or two. They would die without a chance to even approach Victoria.

But now, Victoria’s attack had closed the distance between her and Dale.

Dale’s knife had been kicked away, but he grabbed Victoria’s fair arm and smiled wickedly.

“Wow, Ms. Clarke, your legs are really good. Your skin is really smooth and tender.”

“You’re asking for it!”

When Jordan saw Dale grabbing Victoria, he immediately wanted to finish him off.

However, before Jordan could do anything, Victoria attacked again.

Victoria lifted her leg again, and the tip of her high heels poked Dale’s eye.

“Argh!”

Dale covered his eye and cried out in pain.

“Don’t bother about me. I can handle myself!”

Victoria shouted at Jordan because she saw that someone was already preparing to slash at him.

Bang!

Dale, who was covering his eyes, suddenly hit the back of Victoria’s head.

Victoria fainted and fell to the ground.

“Victoria!”

Jordan’s anger reached its peak!

Someone dared to hit Victoria in front of him!

He hit the woman he loved the most!

Still covering his injured eye, Dale looked at the fallen Victoria with a sinister expression.

“B*tch, how dare you kick my eye. I’ll teach you a lesson later!”

When the others saw Victoria lying on the ground, the way her long legs were displayed, lustful expressions crossed their faces.

Holding knives, they surrounded Jordan.

“Blind man, it’s your turn now!”

Chapter 933

Jordan had on special makeup which made him look old. There were many wrinkles on his face, neck and hands.

When he saw that Victoria had been knocked unconscious, Jordan’s veins bulged. With his enhanced wrinkles, his angry expression made one shudder!

Jordan clenched his fists. This group of hooligans dared to attack the woman he loved and have designs on her.

He wanted every single one of them dead! Moreover, they would not be ordinary deaths. He wanted every single one of them to die miserably!

These lowly hooligans were about to suffer the wrath of a Deity!

“Boys, cut the crap. Let’s kill this old man now so that we can play with Victoria!”

Dale gave the order and was about to slash Jordan.

Salvatore was trembling in fear. He knew that it would be his turn after Jordan was killed.

Jordan suddenly took off his sunglasses and threw them at Salvatore’s eyes.

“Ouch! Master, did you hit the wrong person?! Why did you throw your sunglasses at me?!”

Salvatore immediately covered his eyes as tears streamed down his face. The sunglasses had hit him quite hard.

Of course, Jordan did this on purpose.

He struck Salvatore before he attacked Dale and his gang because Jordan’s next move was very cruel and involved a weapon by one of the secret families.

This top-notch secret weapon was not something that Salvatore from 2020 could see yet. Therefore, Jordan injured Salvatore’s eyes first, preventing him from seeing the rest of the fight.

“Haha, this idiot!”

Dale laughed when he saw Jordan’s sunglasses land on Salvatore’s face.

He then slashed at Jordan.

Jordan caught Dale’s knife with his bare hands. However, Jordan’s hand remained completely fine. Not a single drop of blood flowed out!

“That’s impossible!”

At this, Dale looked horrified at the unexpected outcome. The others were likewise terrified.

“He’s just a strong man that this b*tch Victoria spent money to keep. I don’t believe you’re invulnerable!”

Boom!

Boom!

The blonde man slashed at Jordan’s back, but it was as if he was cutting stone. He could not hurt him at all!

Everyone went pale with fright.

“It’s over, it’s over. We’ve met a powerful opponent. Run!”

The blonde man and the others finally realized how terrifying Jordan was!

Invulnerable!

Their blades could not cause any damage to Jordan! How could they fight an opponent with such formidable defense?

However, they had provoked Victoria. How could Jordan let them leave with their lives?

Jordan took out a QR code from his pocket and pasted it on Dale. novelbin

“A QR code?”

Dale was dumbstruck. He didn’t understand why the other party had pasted a QR code on him.

Was he going to transfer money to him?

Or should he transfer the money to the old man?

Seeing how powerful the old man was, Dale immediately admitted defeat. “Sir, is this your bank account QR code? I understand. I’ll transfer you the money when we go back!”

With that, Dale wanted to leave with his men as quickly as possible.

However, Jordan broke his knee with a kick.

With kicks and punches, Jordan also rounded up the others.

They had touched the woman of a Deity and they still hoped to escape?

Jordan had traveled back in time just to save Victoria!

Jordan tied them together with a rope and placed Dale, who had the QR code on him, at the front.

Then Jordan used all his strength to kick them away.

Boom!

They flew toward the window and smashed through the glass.

This was the third floor. Falling off this height, one would be injured, but they would not die.

“We’re not dead, we’re not dead!”

Dale and the others were still feeling relieved. They believed that they would be able to escape since they were still alive after landing outside the building.

This was much better than being beaten to death by Jordan.

But they were too naive.

Jordan took out a QR code scanner.

This was the invention of the Miyamoto family from Japan.

Jordan had modified the size of the QR code scanner and it was now just the size of a ping pong ball and could be easily carried around.

Jordan scanned the QR code attached to Dale.

Boom!

There was a loud boom!

Dale and the others exploded and instantly turned to ashes.

This was the only outcome for people who offended the woman of a Deity!

“What’s that sound?!”

Salvatore had no idea what had happened. He rubbed his injured eyes and forced them open, walking towards the broken window.

Salvatore was shocked to see black ashes floating in the air. When he glanced around the room and saw that Dale and the other traitors were no longer there. He recalled the voice earlier.

Salvatore knelt down in shock. “Sir, please spare my life! It definitely wasn’t my intention for Dale and those traitors to harm Ms. Clarke! I have no ill intentions towards you and Ms. Clarke!”

Jordan bent over and picked up his sunglasses. He put them back on and said to Salvatore,

“Salvatore, I can let you off, but remember, you have to pretend that you don’t know anything about what happened just now. Also, Victoria and I weren’t here today. You never saw us, understand?”

Salvatore was from the criminal underworld, so he naturally understood these principles.

Moreover, he had often said such words to others.

Salvatore quickly said, “I understand, I understand! I’ve never seen you and Ms. Clarke before. The next time I meet you, I’ll definitely treat it as our first meeting!”

Jordan continued to remind him. “You can’t mention this to Pablo or your future benefactor either. Otherwise, you will suffer the same consequences as Dale and the rest.”

Salvatore immediately promised. “Yes, yes, yes. I won’t tell anyone. I swear that if I leak what happened today to anyone else, I will die a horrible death!”

Jordan knew that Salvatore was a smart person. Without saying anything else, he carried the unconscious Victoria down the stairs and left.

Soon after, Salvatore also went downstairs and arrived at the place where Dale and the others had been reduced to ashes. He exclaimed. “What kind of grenade is this? It exploded so cleanly. This old man is definitely from the military!”

…

An hour later, Jordan had driven Victoria back home. He took off her shoes and laid her on the bed. Then he moved a stool over and sat by her bed.

“Daddy… Daddy…”

Victoria, who had been unconscious for a long time, gradually woke up. When she regained consciousness, the first person she called out for was her father.

She suddenly sat up. When she saw Jordan, she threw herself into his arms excitedly and cried.

“Daddy! You’re fine. That’s great. Hic… I’m so afraid that I’ll lose you again, Daddy…”

Jordan was at a loss.

‘Daddy? When did I become your father?’

Chapter 934

Jordan patted Victoria’s back to comfort her as he said gently, “Ms. Clarke, are you in shock? Why are you calling me Daddy? Everything’s fine now. The matter with Salvatore has already been resolved. Just pretend that nothing happened today, okay?”

Victoria cried even harder and hugged Jordan even tighter.

“Daddy, I knew you didn’t leave. You’re still protecting me. Sobs… Daddy, do you know how much I’ve missed you all these years? Do you know how Emily and I lived without you? Why are you so heartless as to abandon us for so long? And even now, you still refuse to acknowledge me?

“I can’t endure it anymore. I don’t want to pretend anymore. From the moment you kissed me last night, I knew that you were my father. You are the man who loves me the most in this life!”

Victoria was sobbing heavily.

Jordan realized that something was wrong.

‘Oh my god, I secretly kissed Victoria last night but she knew! Damn it, no wonder she mistook me for her father!’

Jordan felt very helpless.

It was his fault for setting his voice to sound like Norman’s. It was now impossible to clear things up.

“Ms. Clarke, you’ve misunderstood. I’m really not your father… I…I’m just a hooligan. I was attracted by your beauty. That’s why I took advantage of you last night while you were sleeping…” Jordan quickly explained.

He couldn’t let Victoria think that he was her father. He couldn’t let her think that her father was still alive.

In the original timeline, Russell would find out the truth behind Victoria’s father’s death, and she would go to Houston to marry him.

Jordan could not change these facts.

Therefore, he didn’t hesitate to describe himself as a lecherous hooligan.

Victoria naturally didn’t believe Jordan. He was too similar to her father and he had risked his life to save her in such a dangerous situation.

Who else but a father would do this?

Victoria let go of Jordan’s and wiped her tears.

“Alright, you said that you’re not my father. Take off your sunglasses and let me see your true appearance.”

Jordan could make the skin on his face look very old and wrinkled, like a 70-year-old man.

But he could not change his eyes.

The eyes of a 10-year-old, a 20-year-old, a 40-year-old eyes and a 70-year-old person were all completely different.

Moreover, everyone’s gazes were different. novelbin

Jordan had only put on makeup, but his eyes were the same. He didn’t dare to take off his sunglasses because he was afraid that Victoria would notice that he had the same eyes as her current superior, President Jordan Steele.

Jordan shook his head. “No.”

Victoria smiled through her tears. “You don’t dare to take off your sunglasses because you’re afraid that I’ll recognize you, right? You’re my father, the bad father who abandoned me 10 years ago. I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!”

With that, Victoria kept hitting Jordan. She seemed to want to vent all the grievances she had suffered over the past 10 years.

If Norman hadn’t suddenly disappeared, Victoria wouldn’t have gone with Russell for Emily’s sake.

Perhaps her mother wouldn’t have died so early on. Perhaps she would already be married and have children now, living happily as a full-time housewife.

Instead of working hard alone in Orlando.

Jordan let Victoria hit him. He knew the grievance and pain in her heart and hoped that she could vent it all out. After Victoria hit Jordan for a while, her attitude suddenly changed.

“Daddy, I love you, I love you, I love you!”

Victoria recalled the kiss her “father” secretly gave her yesterday and returned it to Jordan. She took the initiative to kiss him.

Jordan: “…”

Jordan was at a loss. He had kissed Victoria countless times, but this was the first time he had been kissed by her in this way.

“Daddy, don’t leave today. I want you to hold me to sleep, just like when I was young, okay?”

Victoria lay in Jordan’s arms and looked up at him.

Jordan nodded. “Okay.”

So Jordan held Victoria and slept the entire night. The next morning, Jordan took advantage of the fact that Victoria was still asleep and left early. He returned to his rented apartment in the New City residential estate.

“Welcome home, Deity Jordan!”

Shaun’s research team all shouted respectfully when they saw Jordan return.

Shaun was still sleeping. When he heard the commotion, he hurried out of the bedroom and smiled happily.

“I knew you missed me! It’s not even 5 am but you are already here to help me develop the antidote. I will definitely remember your love for me!”

Jordan was speechless: ‘I’m not here because of you, right?’

Seeing that Jordan didn’t look too good, Shaun immediately asked, “Deity Jordan, what’s wrong? What happened?”

Jordan took a big gulp of water and replied, “Victoria called me Daddy the entire night!”

Shaun stood rooted to the ground for a full five seconds before prompting the other researchers.

“What are you all waiting for? Hurry up and applaud him!”

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Shaun applauded as he flattered Jordan. “As expected of Deity Jordan! He actually took down Orlando’s number one beautiful CEO, Victoria, in such a short period of time!”

“From the looks of it, you didn’t reveal to her your true identity. But you still managed to get Victoria as an old, blind fortune-teller! I’m impressed. You cheated on yourself. There’s no room for others at all. Deity Jordan has already reached a supreme realm that even I can’t break through!”

Jordan poured another cup of water and splashed it on Shaun’s face. He said angrily, “F*ck you, what nonsense are you spouting? Stop your dirty thoughts. I’m saying that Victoria really believes I am her father! It’s not what you think!”

Shaun wiped his face with a tissue and said in surprise, “What? Victoria thinks you’re Norman? No wonder. Your voice is too similar to Norman’s. I already warned you not to do that.”

Jordan sighed. “We can’t let her mistake me for Norman. Otherwise, it will affect the future. Now, get your men to disguise me again. This time, focus on changing my eyes. I want her to see my face and confirm that I’m not Norman or Jordan.”

At this moment, a doctor walked over and said, “Deity Jordan, we have a way to turn your eyes, hair and skin a different color. Is that alright?”

A different color?

Jordan nodded. “Sure. This will make me look very different from myself and Norman. Transform the color of my eyes, hair and skin!”

Chapter 935

After modifying Jordan’s appearance, Jordan now had red hair, green eyes and pale freckled skin. He also looked like he was in his 30s.

These modifications were very advanced. It was not like basic makeup that could be seen through or easily rubbed off.

Meanwhile, Victoria woke up and realized that her “Daddy” had disappeared.

“Daddy!”

Victoria called out a few times, but there was no response.

“Why did Daddy leave without saying anything?”

Victoria cried for a long time last night and her eyes were a little swollen. However, she felt very happy. To be able to lie in her father’s arms and cry, to be protected by her father for a night, it was really too blissful!

Especially since Victoria had lost her father for 10 years!

She finally felt the love of a father last night and wanted to tell her sister the good news as soon as possible.

Victoria made a video call to Emily.

“Hey Sis, why are you calling me so early?”

In the video, the innocent and cute Emily rubbed her eyes. She was still nestled under a blanket.

Victoria said happily, “Emily, let me tell you a piece of great news. Our father isn’t dead! Yesterday, I fell asleep in his arms!”

Emily was not excited at all. “What are you talking about? Even if our father isn’t dead, he won’t hug you to sleep, right? Did one of your lovers hug you instead?”

Victoria was a little angry. “Don’t spout nonsense! I’m not such a casual woman! I’m not lying to you. It’s our father’s voice! And he knows what you look like.”

Emily turned over with half-closed eyes. “Where’s Daddy? Let me take a look.”

Victoria said, “He disappeared early in the morning.” novelbin

Emily smiled. “Sis, you must have dreamed of Daddy. Sigh, how nice. To be able to dream of Daddy hugging you from time to time. I don’t even have any memories of him to have such dreams. Alright, I won’t talk to you anymore. I’m going to sleep. I have to fly in the afternoon.”

Emily hung up.

“Hey… Emily!”

Victoria was frustrated. She decided that when her “father” came again, she would definitely video call Emily and let her know that their father was not dead!

She called her “father”, but he didn’t answer.

Victoria sent a message: ‘Daddy, I’m going to work. Remember to come to my place tonight. I’ll cook for you!’

After that, Victoria went to the office. Today happened to be the day that Jordan had decided to cooperate with the Camdens to develop “Hailey Residences”.

And early in the morning, Salvatore would go to Old Mrs. Camden’s house and accuse Jordan of stealing the Camden’s watch and selling it to him. After being beaten up by Jordan, Salvatore would go

to Thailand to find Pablo.

At night, Jordan came to Victoria’s house dressed as a 70-year-old man. Under this 70-year-old man’s attire was another layer of disguise. It was that of a green-eyed, red-haired man in his 30s.

Knock knock!

Jordan knocked on the door.

“He’s here!”

Victoria was already home. She had specially bought a lot of vegetables and meat from the supermarket and returned early to cook for her father. Opening the door, Victoria smiled when she saw Jordan in his fortune-teller outfit again.

“Daddy, you’re so naughty. You went out so early in the morning and stayed out the entire day. I wonder what you’re doing outside all day. Do you really have a fortune-telling stall? I thought it was just a fake identity you created to get close to me. By the way, I didn’t have the chance to ask you how you brought me back from Salvatore’s place yesterday.

“Ah, I can’t talk to you anymore. My pot is boiling!”

Victoria was wearing an apron and cooking. As she spoke, she ran towards the kitchen.

Seeing that Victoria was busy, Jordan was in no hurry to speak either. Also, Jordan wanted to taste Victoria’s cooking.

Soon after, Victoria prepared a table full of dishes. She even brought Jordan his cutlery.

Victoria said, “I video-called Emily this morning and told her about you, but she refused to believe that you were still alive. I’m so angry. I want to video call her later and let her see you with her own eyes.

Daddy, when the time comes, can you take off those sunglasses?”

Jordan paused for a moment before quickly taking a sip of Victoria’s chicken soup.

He was afraid that after Victoria saw his second layer of disguise, she would kick him out of the house and not give him anything to eat.

Jordan said very seriously, “Ms. Clarke, I told you yesterday that I’m not your father. Last night, when I saw how certain you were and how much you wanted me to be your father, I couldn’t bear to continue arguing with you. But I can’t lie to you like this. I will feel very uneasy!”

Victoria ladled some more food for Jordan.

“Stop pretending, Daddy. I can’t be mistaken. If you’re not my father, take off your sunglasses.”

“Alright.”

This time, Jordan was fully prepared and did not hesitate. Jordan took off his sunglasses, revealing his new eyes!

Thud!

Victoria’s fork fell to the ground!

Looking at Jordan’s disguised eyes, Victoria was certain that the man in front of her could not be her father.

Her father did not have green eyes.

Victoria was very angry. She stood up and shouted, “Who are you?! I want to see your true self! You’re not as old as you claim!”

Jordan took off the fake white hair wig on his head, revealing red hair. He then washed away the wrinkles and age spots on his face.

In the end, what was on display was a handsome man in his 30s who looked completely different from Jordan.

Jordan said, “My name is William. My parents were from Ireland…”

Smack!

Before Jordan could finish speaking, Victoria slapped him angrily.

Tears welled up in the corners of Victoria’s eyes. “Why? Why did you deliberately get close to me? Why did you say those words to me when I was asleep?! Why does your voice sound so similar to my father’s?!”

Jordan explained. “Actually, I’ve always had a crush on you, so I deliberately approached you and kissed you when you were asleep. I’m sorry.”

“Sob sob…”

Victoria crouched on the ground and cried.

Actually, she wasn’t really upset with William. She was just devastated about the fact that her father might be really dead.

“Emily is right. I was dreaming. Daddy is really dead. I will never see Daddy again…

Chapter 936

When Jordan saw Victoria’s pitiful expression, he bent down and handed her a tissue.

Victoria paused for a moment before taking the tissue and hurriedly wiping her face. She was a headstrong woman. As the top executive of a listed company, she always gave off the impression of being capable, aloof and mature.

She had never appeared so weak before.

After knowing that the person in front of her was not her father, Victoria no longer cried like an aggrieved daughter. She quickly composed herself.

Victoria looked at Jordan and said, “I’m sorry for hitting you just now.”

Jordan smiled. Why would he care about this?

Jordan had clearly predicted that Victoria would be shot, but he could not protect her, causing her to fall into a coma in 2022. The entire affair left Jordan feeling very guilty about it. So he was actually very happy to be slapped by a Victoria who was alive and kicking. novelbin

Victoria said, “I shouldn’t have hit you. If it weren’t for you yesterday, I might have been ruined by Salvatore’s subordinates. I might even be dead now. You saved me. You’re my benefactor.”

Jordan said hastily, “Don’t say that. I took advantage of you by kissing you. I don’t dare to be called your benefactor.”

Victoria smiled. “Actually, I can tell that you’re a gentleman. Last night, you held me and slept the entire night. You kept your hands to yourself and didn’t take advantage of me. This is enough to prove your character.”

Actually, Jordan did want to take advantage of her, but she kept calling him “Daddy”. How could he bear to do it?!

“Sir, please sit. I spent so much effort making dinner. Don’t let it go to waste. By the way, how did you save me yesterday?”

Victoria no longer acted like a little girl. She returned to her usual cold and aloof CEO attitude and sat down.

Jordan returned to his seat. “Ms. Clarke, you can just call me William. Yesterday, after that hooligan knocked you out, Salvatore’s other loyal subordinates rushed in and dealt with the traitors. Salvatore wants us to pretend that this never happened. After all, there were people killed. If word gets out, it will be troublesome for everyone. Next time you see Salvatore, treat it as your first meeting. Don’t mention this incident again.”

Victoria nodded cautiously. She was a top executive of a listed company. If she got implicated in a murder case, it would definitely affect the company’s share price.

Victoria continued. “Then, how did you know the name of Salvatore’s benefactor? Also, how did you know that Salvatore would like someone like Emily? Have you seen Emily before? You know what she looks like?”

Jordan smiled and nodded. He had already thought of an answer to these questions.

“I have a crush on you and came up with this plan to get close to you. So of course I did my research on you and know that you have a younger sister who’s a flight attendant. Your younger sister regularly posts on social media and I’ve been following her. As for how I know the name of Salvatore’s benefactor and what type of girl he likes, I can only say that I really divined it.

“My father taught me divination when I was a young boy and I’ve practiced it for 30 years. I can’t say that I’ve reached perfection, but I’ve at least made some progress.”

Victoria no longer dared to doubt Jordan’s divination skills. She asked, “Then, do you think that I am truly fated with Jordan Steele?”

Jordan nodded. “Yes, I’ve done the calculations. You and Mr. Steele are indeed fated. There’s a high chance you’ll be together in the future. However, your signs don’t match perfectly. Although you met at the right time, you will likely be separated because of something in the future. And you’ll be the one who will break up with him.”

Victoria sighed. “Sigh, my personality is too strong-headed. Even if he’s a billionaire businessman, I will still leave him if I feel that he’s not suitable.”

Jordan advised. “This is why I advised you to go to the capital to find Dr. Gale and have that procedure.”

Victoria smiled and poured Jordan a glass of wine. “Let’s not talk about this first. Jordan Steele hasn’t walked out of his ex-wife’s shadow yet. I think it will be a long time before I have a chance. William, let’s have a toast. It’s a pleasure to meet you!

“Cheers!”

Like this, Jordan officially became friends with Victoria as William.

After experiencing the near-death incident at Salvatore’s place last night, Victoria trusted Jordan even more.

Two hours later, Jordan took the initiative to get up and say goodbye. “I’ve enjoyed your hospitality for the past two nights. I should make a move now. Goodbye, Ms. Clarke.”

Looking at Jordan, a charming man in his 30s with Irish blood, the slightly tipsy Victoria was a little reluctant to part with him. After all, this man had brought her so much comfort the past two nights.

However, now that she knew that he was not her father, Victoria had no reason to keep him.

Victoria sent Jordan to the door. Just as she was about to open it, she said, “Thank you for last night.”

“Mmm?”

Jordan was a little confused.

Shouldn’t she be angry after being held by a strange man for the entire night?

Victoria explained. “Thank you for not exposing your identity last night. You let me cry and lie in your arms for the entire night. It made me think that I slept in Daddy’s arms. Last night was the best sleep I’ve had in 10 years.”

Jordan smiled. “It is my honor.”

Victoria continued. “However, William, you know that I have a good reputation in Orlando. But if word gets out that I was in bed with someone for an entire night, no one will believe that nothing happened between us. By then, my image will probably…”

Jordan knew that Victoria cared a lot about her image. He quickly said, “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone about what happened last night. I hope Ms. Clarke will completely forget what happened yesterday. Also, don’t mention me to anyone, including Mr. Steele.”

“Okay.”

Victoria agreed.

With that said, Jordan left. The two of them did not see each other for the next two days. They only chatted via messages. Jordan spent the next few days developing an antidote for Shaun. His progress was very fast.

Finally, on the third day, an antidote was developed that could temporarily neutralize the poison in Shaun’s body. This antidote was similar to the one that Rong Huangde gave Shaun once a week. It could only temporarily delay the poison’s effects and not completely cure it.

However, with Jordan’s ability, it was only a matter of time before he could completely rid Shaun of the poison.

Shaun was very happy that day. He produced two concert tickets and handed them to Jordan.

“Jordan, to thank you for developing this antidote for me, enough for me to come out from Rong Huangde’s control, I specially bought two concert tickets. Let’s go to a concert tonight to relax?”

Jordan looked down and saw that it was the concert of that superstar!

Chapter 937

Unknowingly, it was time for the superstar’s concert in Orlando.

Jordan would never forget this day two years ago. Tyler had proposed to Hailey at this concert, and she had accepted. In the few seconds before she agreed, Jordan had wanted to step forward to stop her. He was extremely upset.

At that time, he was still immersed in his relationship with Hailey.

After that, Jordan went on stage and sang the song “A Thousand Reasons to Be Sad”.

Now that he thought about it, he felt that he had been very foolish back then. A woman like Hailey wasn’t worth it.

However, love was sometimes blind and stubborn. People who were deeply in love and those observing the love from the outside had completely different mental states.

One always hankered after the woman he couldn’t have, not the one he was already with.

Even if that woman wasn’t that good, that beautiful, or that perfect. But because he couldn’t have her, she would always be in your heart, setting her apart from others.

Jordan had been with Hailey for three years. How could he let go just like that?

Shaking his head, Jordan only said, “I’m not going. Go and watch yourself.”

Seeing that Jordan was deep in thought, Shaun realized that something was amiss. “Looks like there’s a story about you at this concert.”

Jordan didn’t continue on this topic. “We’ve been here for almost a week, right? In five days, you’ll have to travel back and ask Rong Huangde for the antidote. Although I made the antidote for you, we can’t

let Rong Huangde know that we’ve joined forces for the time being. We can’t let him know that I’ve developed an antidote for you.”

Shaun smiled. “Yes, that’s what I intend to do. When it comes to playing mind games, Rong Huangde is definitely inferior to us. Don’t worry, I’ll go back two days in advance. If you have nothing to do during this period, we might as well go back.”

Jordan objected. “I don’t want to go back so early. Victoria hasn’t gotten together with me yet, so I can’t implant the idea for now. I plan to make a trip to New York to visit my other wife, Lauren. It’s been hard on Lauren to take care of Chloe alone. I want to go over and see what I can do for her and Chloe.”

Although Jordan had traveled back in time for Victoria, she had not gotten together with him yet. As a result, she was unwilling to have that idea implanted. Compared to Victoria, Jordan’s other wife, Lauren, was the more pitiful one.

At this moment, Lauren was alone with Chloe. She knew that Jordan was Chloe’s biological father, but she couldn’t take the initiative to look for him.

The elders of the Howard family had also been urging Lauren to get married, while Chloe lacked fatherly love. The mother-daughter duo was very pitiful, all alone in New York.

Shaun was delighted. “You finally have some conscience. You still remember my disciple, Lauren! Forgive me for being blunt, but Victoria only suffered from that one incident. If we traveled back to that time, we could have killed or drugged that 18-year-old young boy. It will be a very simple task for us. But apart from that, most of Victoria’s time with you has been blissful.

“But my beloved disciple, Lauren, is different. She waited for you for several years and suffered alone with her child for several years! Although she didn’t have any major crime committed against her and wasn’t bullied, I think she’s more worthy of your care! You’re the only man in her life!”

Just like Salvatore was Emily’s ardent supporter, Shaun was now Lauren’s supporter.

Previously, when Shaun imprisoned Lauren, he taught her how to control people remotely. He considered her as his disciple. Shaun didn’t even dare to touch Lauren and taint her purity. He was extremely respectful to her.

Jordan said coldly, “You don’t have to worry about how I treat my wives!” novelbin

That ended the conversation.

Jordan stayed on for a little longer before setting off for New York.

“Lauren and Chloe should be at Café Nostalgia at this time, right?”

Jordan had driven to New York. He didn’t remember the exact location of Café Nostalgia, so he used his phone’s GPS to search. However, when he opened the online map and searched for Café Nostalgia, there was no information!

“Strange? Hasn’t Lauren set up Café Nostalgia yet?”

This was possible because Jordan first visited Café Nostalgia only after he got together with Victoria. And it would be a few months later. Moreover, Jordan remembered that the first time he visited the cafe, he noticed that the decor was very new.

Jordan used the ability of a Deity. As he had extraordinary mental strength, not only could he predict the future, but he could also search for stored memories in his mind.

Closing his eyes, Jordan found the answer: 2553 Claymore Avenue.

Jordan drove to the place. When he arrived, he realized that Café Nostalgia already existed, but it looked like it was still being set up.

There were some renovation tools at the entrance.

It seemed like Café Nostalgia was not open for business yet so Jordan could not pretend to be a customer to get close to Lauren. He could only park the car by the roadside and watch from afar.

Soon, it was five in the afternoon. The renovation workers had all left.

Lauren and Chloe were nowhere to be seen.

“That’s strange. This is Lauren’s shop which is being renovated. Why didn’t she come to supervise?”

Suddenly, a red Lamborghini sports car worth more than $5 million sped over from afar. The roar of the sports car, coupled with the heavy bass music blasting from the speakers, made for a very flashy entrance.

The driver even drifted and spun the car around before coming to a stop at the roadside. He could have just quietly parked by the roadside but he had to purposely perform a drifting maneuver to act cool.

“Which rich second-generation heir from New York is this? Could he be one of Cayden’s idiot friends? How unclassy!”

Jordan couldn’t help cursing in the car.

He hated such arrogant behavior. ‘You think you’re awesome just because you are driving a sports car worth more than $5 million? These rich second-generation heirs didn’t know about the existence of the secret families at all!

Compared to the descendants of the secret families, they were nothing!

What made Jordan even angrier was that this would be where Lauren and Chloe would stay in the future.

Jordan was annoyed that there were these kinds of fools who drove very fast and drifted around in this area. They would disturb his wife and daughter.

He looked at the person getting out of the car through the rearview mirror. If necessary, Jordan would warn them not to come to this street again!

A handsome man wearing sunglasses alighted from the driver’s seat of the red Lamborghini.

A beautiful woman with a great figure and also wearing sunglasses alighted from the front passenger seat. She looked slightly mature and had the aura of a queen!

This woman was not a young beauty in her 20s, but a very charming woman in her 30s. She was dressed in designer clothes and looked very rich, like a socialite who had married into a wealthy family.

“Strange, why does this woman look so familiar? I think I’ve seen her somewhere before.”

The woman got out of the car and took off her sunglasses with a smile.

Jordan instantly recognized the woman.

“Ms. Monroe?”

Chapter 938

At first glance, Jordan felt a sense of familiarity with this beautiful woman with the aura of a queen. It was just that she was wearing sunglasses at first, so he didn’t immediately recognize her.

The moment she took off her sunglasses, Jordan immediately recognized that this woman was Ms. Monroe from the luxury toy shop FAO Schwarz in the capital.

At that time, Chris Hank, who was wooing Lauren, had bragged in front of Jordan to gain her favor. After that, Ms. Monroe especially rushed over to help Jordan and even gave him a Super Diamond membership card.

“Wait, if this woman is Ms. Monroe, then this man…”

Jordan thought that this man was just some random arrogant rich second-generation heir from New York, but on second thought, this man was probably Jamie!

As Jordan could no longer see the man’s face in the rearview mirror, he got out of the car and looked over.

It was indeed Jamie!

“Damn! I was wondering who it was. So it’s Jamie and his girlfriend.”

Jordan was speechless. He didn’t expect Jamie to be so arrogant and not keep a low profile at all when he was in New York. He had slept with one beautiful woman after another. His life was too carefree.

Jamie held Ms. Monroe’s hand and walked towards Café Nostalgia. He had helped Lauren set up Café Nostalgia, and was also the one who had come up with the name of the cafe.

Although Jordan had already known about this, what he didn’t expect was for Ms. Monroe to have been here before.

Jamie pushed the door open and walked in.

Jordan was very curious as to why the two of them went into the shop. Hence, he took out an “insect” from his pocket. This was a fake bug that could be controlled remotely. When it flew, it looked like an ordinary bug.

But it was a fake. Its main purpose was to secretly monitor people.

The “insect” was equipped with cameras and listening devices that could help Jordan monitor their every move. Like this, Jordan controlled the bug and made it fly through the door gap.

Meanwhile, Jamie was checking out the inside of the cafe and he nodded in satisfaction.

“Baby, I knew it was right to leave the renovation work to you. The decor is beautiful and artistic. I believe Lauren will like it,” Jamie complimented Ms. Monroe.

Ms. Monroe hugged Jamie’s arm like a submissive girl and looked at him with admiration.

“Of course. Don’t you know what I do? I’ve already done up more than 10 shops. A cafe is nothing.”

Jamie hooked Ms. Monroe’s nose and said, “Baby, give me a Super Diamond membership card to your FAO Schwarz store in the capital.”

Ms. Monroe said coquettishly, “If you marry me, the entire shop will be yours. Why do you still need a membership card? That’s for outsiders. I’m already yours, let alone a shop.”

From her words and expression, it was obvious that Ms. Monroe was completely infatuated with Jamie. Not only was Jamie handsome, but he was also very rich. He had just accepted a business training mission from his family in the US.

It was said that when he was doing business, he was very extravagant and unrestrained. Ms. Monroe could probably tell that Jamie’s had an extraordinary background.

Ms. Monroe continued to wheedle. “I’m going to get a divorce because of you. You won’t just sleep with me and not take responsibility, right?”

Jordan was listening in on their conversation via the “insect”. He couldn’t help smiling as he lit a cigarette.

“The last time we saw her, she behaved like a queen in front of us. I didn’t expect her to be so clingy with Jamie.”

Jordan sighed happily.

Actually, any woman who looked cold or noble would become very different when she met a man who could subdue her. And she would be even more clingy and coquettish than the average person.

Jamie said, “I am not the one who wants the membership card. I’m planning to give it to my third brother. He might be going to the capital in two years and would need it then.”

It was undeniable that Jamie was very considerate toward Jordan. Jamie was a few years older than Jordan, so he had started the family missions earlier than him. He knew very well what Jordan was going to experience next.

Since Jordan married Hailey, Jamie already started choosing Jordan’s next partner.

This was why he helped to set up Café Nostalgia. Jamie knew that Jordan would come to New York sooner or later, so he specially arranged it. He had arranged all of this so that Jordan and Lauren could meet and continue their relationship.

Ms. Monroe said jealously, “You treat your third brother better than you treat me!”

Jamie laughed. “Of course. How dare you compare yourself to my third brother?”

“You…”

Ms. Monroe, who had always been fawned over by countless men, felt that she was being disrespected and was very angry.

“Alright, go find your third brother! I’m leaving!”

Jamie didn’t apologize and smiled wickedly. “You’re leaving just like that? Aren’t we going to have some fun here?”

If it was a normal man, he would definitely coax and apologize when he saw that the woman was angry. She would only be appeased after he coaxed her for a long time.

However, someone like Jamie, whose background was far more powerful than the other party, would never lower himself to that level.

He knew that he had this woman in his pocket. novelbin

Ms. Monroe was also a smart person. She would not leave in anger over such a small matter.

She had to capture this powerful princeling.

So Ms. Monroe smiled and patted Jamie gently.

“You’re so annoying. Jamie, if you want me to give your third brother a Super Diamond membership card, you have to make me happy today.”

Jamie hugged Ms. Monroe and smiled. “Come on, baby. When have I ever disappointed you?”

As he said this, Jamie secretly took a pill when Ms. Monroe’s back was turned.

“Damn, Jamie is so useless. He has to take medicine! How embarrassing.”

Jordan was dumbstruck when he saw that.

However, seeing that the two of them were really going to have sex here, Jordan felt very awkward.

“You two cheapskates, why don’t you go to a hotel to have fun? It’s not like you don’t have the money to get a room! Why must you do it in my wife’s shop?! My wife’s shop hasn’t even opened yet. I can’t let you dirty it!”

In Jordan’s heart, Lauren was a perfect and pure woman. He would not allow anyone to do such a thing in her shop.

Not even his second brother.

Moreover, Jordan had always disdained Jamie’s playboy behavior. He should teach him a lesson!

Therefore, he controlled the “insect” to “sting” Jamie and Ms. Monroe.

The “sting” was actually a tiny electric shock.

“F*ck!”

Jamie cried out loud.

Ms. Monroe was holding onto the table and she turned around. “What’s wrong?”

Jamie looked around. “There’s a bug!”

Ms. Monroe was speechless. “It’s just a bug. What’s the big deal? You’re a man, yet you’re afraid of bugs?”

As Ms. Monroe spoke, Jordan controlled the “insect” and sent it into her mouth!

Chapter 939

Ms. Monroe had once helped Jordan in the capital. In addition, Jordan had always been more lenient toward the fairer sex and did not want to lay his hands on her.

Therefore, Jordan controlled the bug to only electrocute Jamie as a lesson to this playboy.

Unexpectedly, after he managed to stop Jamie, Ms. Monroe urged him on again.

Jordan did not like Ms. Monroe being so shameless in someone else’s shop, so he decided to tease her.

Ms. Monroe felt a bug fly into her mouth and immediately retched.

“Urgh…”

Jamie quickly asked, “What’s wrong?”

Ms. Monroe kept rubbing her mouth. “The bug flew into my mouth! Ugh… no, I have to go to the hospital. How disgusting!”

With the unexpected turn of events, Jamie had lost all interest in sex. “Alright, I’ll take you to the hospital.”

The two of them quickly walked out of the coffee shop. They didn’t even lock the door.

After the two of them left, Jordan entered this familiar cafe. Upon walking in, Jordan immediately recalled the first time he came here.

It was a sunny afternoon.

After he pushed the door open, the first thing he saw was a stunning woman in a French pink dress.

Jordan was stunned when he first saw Lauren. He walked to the bar and looked at the items on display. There was a coffee machine, a cold brew machine, a bean grinder and a fridge. He recalled that Lauren had once brewed coffee for him.

With this thought in mind, Jordan couldn’t resist making a cup of black coffee for himself.

Jordan held his cup and sat by the window. He looked at the traffic outside and thought to himself. novelbin

‘Lauren must have spent a lot of time sitting in front of the window like this, having a cup of coffee and waiting for me to arrive?’

Jordan felt a lump in his throat. His heart ached for her.

‘She has been waiting for me for the past few years. Fortunately, I didn’t let her down in the end and got together with her.’

However, when he thought about how he had been watching over Victoria for the past month and neglecting Lauren, Jordan felt a little guilty. Over this time, Jordan only cared about Victoria whom he had lost. He did not cherish Lauren, who was still there.

“Lauren, I’m sorry. I’ll make it up to you after I travel back to the present.”

As Jordan mused over this, the sky gradually darkened. After an unknown period of time, footsteps suddenly came from outside.

‘Someone’s coming!’

Realizing that someone was coming, Jordan immediately got up from his seat with a cup and hid in the store.

Jordan heard the voices of Jamie and a woman.

‘Damn it, did Jamie come back here after bringing that woman to a doctor? I’m speechless. Can’t you guys go to a hotel?! Why must you do it at my wife’s place?!’

Jordan thought that it was Jamie and Ms. Monroe.

However, he suddenly heard Lauren’s voice.

“Chloe, don’t run around.”

Chloe?

It was Lauren and Chloe!

Jordan immediately stuck his head out and looked outside. It was indeed Jamie, Lauren and Chloe!

At this time, Chloe was only three years old. She looked much younger than when Jordan first met her. The young girl’s face was a rosy pink. When she arrived at the cafe, she kept running around excitedly.

Jamie jogged forward. “It’s alright. I’ll play with her for a while.”

He picked Chloe up and played on the sofa for a while. It was obvious that their relationship was not bad. After playing for a while, Chloe was a little tired and fell asleep on the sofa.

Jamie and Lauren went to the bar counter. Lauren personally brewed coffee for them.

Jamie smiled. “Lauren, Chloe has such heaven-defying looks. As her mother, you should be very proud, right?”

Lauren nodded gently. “Yes, Chloe is indeed very beautiful. Everyone who sees her will praise her. I hope this won’t become a burden for her in the future.”

Similar to her daughter, Lauren had also been beautiful since she was a young girl. She knew very well the pressures of being a beauty.

Jamie smiled. “I’ve done some research on inherited looks. Most girls inherit their looks from their fathers. Chloe is so good-looking because of my younger brother’s genes! Hehe, how about that? The man I found for you isn’t bad, right?”

Although Jordan was hiding in the dark, he felt extremely embarrassed and ashamed.

That day in Syria, Jordan and Lauren did not have sex willingly. To think that Jamie, the culprit behind the incident, actually had the cheek to tease her about it.

As expected, Lauren’s expression changed. “Please don’t mention that matter again. If you hadn’t helped Chloe and I so much, I would have hated you for the rest of my life.”

Jamie still looked unapologetic as he smiled. “Ms. Lauren, you are not far-sighted enough, that’s why you blame me. I expended a lot of effort to find you a good husband. My third brother is the most outstanding among us. He has the highest chance of inheriting the family business. If you become my third brother’s woman, you’ll be the envy of countless other women.”

Jamie had arranged for Jordan and Lauren to be together because Jamie already knew that their eldest brother, Jesse, was not a good person. One day, Jesse might deal with Jordan or even Jamie.

If Jordan had the Howard family’s protection, he would have one more trump card in his hands.

“Forget it, let’s not talk about this anymore.”

As Jamie spoke, he took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to her.

“What’s this?” Lauren asked.

Jamie replied, “This is the key to a villa in the Great Mountain Villas.”

“I don’t want it.” Lauren immediately declined. She thought that it was a gift from Jamie to make it up to her.

Jamie smiled. “I know that your family is rich and this villa is nothing to you. But this isn’t for you, it’s for my third brother. I reckon he’ll be coming to New York soon. When he comes, I’ll get Butler Frank to tell him that there’s a set of keys to a villa in Great Mountain Villas here. Help me give him the key when the time comes.”

Hearing this, Lauren carefully put the box away and said, “Oh okay.”

Jamie smiled. “Ms. Lauren, it looks like you really want to see my third brother too. That’s right. After all, we’ve waited for three years. Don’t worry, to be able to become the daughter-in-law of the Steele family, waiting three years is worth it!”

Soon after saying this, Jamie left. Lauren cleaned and tidied up for more than an hour before leaving with Chloe.

The next morning, when Lauren came back, the soft launch of Café Nostalgia commenced.

Lauren had opened this cafe purely to wait for Jordan. Therefore, the drinks here were two to three times more expensive than the other places on this street.

After the customers found out that this cafe was very expensive, they all stopped coming. Many customers came to take a look at the price before leaving on the spot.

The cafe was very quiet, but this was also what Lauren wanted. She didn’t like noise and commotion. The Howard family was so rich that she didn’t need the cafe to make money.

Lauren only wanted to live quietly with her daughter far away from the capital.

Suddenly, the glass door was pushed open. A very elegant woman about the same age as Lauren walked in with a boy and a girl.

“Lauren, long time no see.”

Chapter 940

Lauren had been daydreaming by the window. So she was startled by the woman.

“Faye Fanning?”

Lauren knew this woman. She was Lauren’s classmate from junior high school and a senior one year older than her. As they were all in the upper-class circles in the capital, even if they were not in the same cohort, it was easy for them to know each other.

They knew each other’s identity and their family backgrounds.

When she was in junior high school, Faye’s family was not inferior to Lauren’s. However, the Fanning family caused some trouble and suffered heavy losses. After the Fanning family fell, they came to New York to seek refuge with their relatives. Faye transferred from the capital to New York then.

Faye was an influential figure in school at that time and was once regarded as the school belle. When she was in her teens, it was already clear that she was a beauty and very exquisite. Her facial features were like that of those gorgeous celebrities and she had a very powerful aura.

Although Faye stayed in occasional contact with Lauren over the years, they were never particularly close.

Lauren only treated Faye as an old classmate. novelbin

Faye smiled and walked forward with the two children. “Lauren, congratulations on opening a cafe. I especially brought my two children to come and support you. Why isn’t there anyone in the shop today? Do you want me to call some friends over?”

Lauren went forward and said, “No need, thank you. I specially raised the prices so that there wouldn’t be too many people. By the way, how did you know that I opened a cafe here?”

Faye patted the heads of the two children. The boy was about five years old and the girl was about four years old. They greeted Lauren obediently.

“Hello.”

Lauren smiled and nodded at them.

Faye smiled. “This is New York after all, and I’ve lived here for more than 10 years. Moreover, you seem to have forgotten what my husband does.”

Lauren smiled back. “I just came to New York to open an ordinary coffee shop. I didn’t expect to be targeted by the FBI. Isn’t this a waste of the country’s resources? Or are you deliberately targeting the Howard family?”

FBI was the abbreviation of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the US. They were mainly responsible for domestic security matters and investigating various individuals and organizations, especially foreign personnel. There were a lot of foreigners in New York so there was a major FBI office located here.

Faye’s husband held a very important position in the FBI and could not be underestimated. However, due to the special nature of the FBI, they did not publicize its list of officers.

Most people did not know about Faye’s husband’s profession. If not for the Howard family’s background, Lauren wouldn’t have known either.

Faye smiled. “How could that be? You’re making a mountain out of a molehill. Darling, my husband isn’t targeting you. He’s just investigating a handsome man who drives a Lamborghini with the surname of Steele. You saw him yesterday.”

Lauren said seriously, “I’m sorry, I’m not familiar with him. If you ask me about him, I’m afraid I can’t help you.”

Lauren really didn’t know much about Jamie’s identity and background. Moreover, their relationship was very complicated, and she didn’t want outsiders to know.

Faye said, “You’ve misunderstood. I’m not here for him. I’m here to look for you. I was afraid that you and Chloe would be bored, so I specially brought my two children over to play with Chloe.

“Go on, you two, play with Chloe.”

“Okay.”

The two children approached Chloe. Chloe was rather shy and didn’t know how to interact with them. Fortunately, the five-year-old boy was more proactive. He took out an Iron Man toy figure from his bag and asked, “Do you know Marvel? Have you watched Iron Man?”

Chloe immediately replied, “I’ve watched them! My mother brought me to the cinema to watch the movies. I’ve finished watching the first, second and third Iron Man movies!”

The boy handed the Iron Man toy to Chloe. “I’ll give this Iron Man to you then.”

Chloe said, “I have one too. My mother and uncle bought me a lot of Iron Man toys!”

“Really? Can we take a look?”

The little girl, who was about the same age as Chloe, also spoke up.

“Sure,” Chloe said.

Lauren when she saw the three children getting along so well. Although Lauren preferred to be alone, she hoped that her daughter would have more friends. After all, Lauren’s adult nature was different

from a little girl’s. The two of them were not on the same page.

No matter how hard Lauren tried, she could not replace the role of a playmate for Chloe.

What they didn’t know was that outside the coffee shop, Jordan was watching everything from a car parked by the roadside.

The three children took out all their Iron Man toys.

The boy suggested that they play on the lawn outside the cafe. Chloe approached her mother with her toy.

“Mom, we want to go out and play.”

The cafe was located at the start of the street. There was an empty lawn to the north. It was far away from the road and not dangerous.

But Lauren said, “No, you have to play in the shop.”

Faye said, “Let them go out and play for a while. We’ll watch by the window. It’ll be fine.”

The boy and girl quickly walked out with Chloe.

So Lauren and Faye sat by the window and looked out from time to time at Chloe and the other children.

Jordan controlled his “insect” to fly out of the cafe. At this moment, Jordan was more worried about Chloe.

“Ding.”

Faye’s phone beeped with a message. She opened it and read the content:

‘Faye, have you met up with Lauren? Don’t forget to introduce me to her. After this is done, I will definitely thank you and your husband.’

After reading the message, Faye turned off her phone without replying.

Actually, she was here as a favor to someone. Her husband’s colleague at the FBI. His family background was not bad and he was infatuated with Lauren. He wanted to marry her.

However, Lauren was stubborn and had no intention of finding a man.

Faye was not that close to Lauren so it was impossible for her to directly introduce someone to her. So before coming, Faye had already thought of how to broach this topic.

As Faye drank her coffee, she looked out of the window with a wicked smile at the three children playing together. The three children liked Iron Man very much. They were all showing off their many Iron Man toys.

Suddenly, the boy asked Chloe, “Why are all your Iron Man toys given to you by your mother and uncle? Didn’t your father give you any toys?”

The girl also asked very directly, “Don’t tell me you don’t have a Daddy?”
