Chapter 417 - Questioning Lauren!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Jordan walked out of the room with those photos in hand.

The moment he saw Jordan come out of Matt’s house, Salvatore, who was lurking in the shadows, immediately came forth.

“Mr. Jordan, did you find anything?”

Jordan was obviously much angrier than he was when he went in. Salvatore had long been able to tell.

Furious, Jordan snapped, “Take that bastard Matt Gale from the hospital immediately and drag him to me!”

As soon as Salvatore heard that, he immediately realized what happened and answered, “Yes!”

Afterward, Jordan drove back home.

“Aunt, are you back so early?”

Felicia opened the door for Jordan smilingly.

On the other hand, Jordan had a sullen look on his face as he ignored her and walked straight into the room.

Felicia could tell that there was something wrong with Jordan and he seemed to be upset.

Tagging along, she piped up and asked, “Mr. Jordan, are you looking for Miss Howard? Miss Howard has gone to look for Mr. Steele Senior with Chloe.”

Jordan was puzzled. “Is Lauren not home?”

Felicia nodded and said, “Yes, Mr. Steele Senior seems to have found a new painting teacher for Miss Howard. She brought Chloe as well to look for him.”

Without saying another word, Jordan left her home and drove to Lauren’s parents’ home.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

It was extremely lively in the living room of Lauren’s parents’ home. Apart from Lauren’s mother, Marissa, Lauren, Chloe, Hailey, Brad, Alex, and Clarice were all around.

“Mr. Jordan is here!”

The maids of the Howards’ place announced and only then did they realize that Jordan had come over.

Lauren was surprised because she hadn’t expected Jordan to have come here.

Early in the morning, Jordan had gone out bright and early, so Lauren had brought Chloe to see the painting teacher as she thought that Jordan would be home late.

Lauren knew that Jordan didn’t like to come here since Hailey was now living at her parents’ house. The last time Jordan and Hailey met, they had a heated conflict that didn’t end well.

Lauren hurriedly walked up and said, “Honey, what brings you here? You don’t have to come here personally. You could have just given me a call and I would have brought Chloe home.”

Clarice was upset to hear those words.

“Lauren, look at what you’re saying. Why can’t he come here? He’s my son-in-law, he can come over to see you and Chloe if he wants to. Besides, even if he’s not your live-in husband but a normal one, isn’t it normal for him to come over? Why? Is it because I’m here? Am I so annoying to you guys?”

Clarice knew that Jordan detested her so she thought that Lauren was directing that remark at her because she happened to be there.

Of course, Lauren didn’t bother to explain. However, Hailey was the one who took the initiative to speak.

“Clarice, don’t take it personally. You’re not the one they hate, it’s me. Lauren probably didn’t want her husband to come because she knows I’m here.”

Clarice and Hailey had only spent a few hours together briefly, but they had hit it off well.

Perhaps because Hailey had once betrayed Jordan, Clarice was pleased so she treated Hailey as a friend.

Clarice immediately said sarcastically, “Hey, Hailey, you’re so pretty. Why wouldn’t anyone like you? I can seek justice for you.”

Brad was drinking tea at the side when he suddenly realized that the ambiance was rather tense. He was a man and he liked to stir the pot when women took jabs at each other and made sarcastic remarks about each other.

They were unlike men who would scold each other and fight at the slightest conflict.

Besides, Jordan simply ignored Hailey’s and Lauren’s conversation.

If anything, he even ignored his wife, Lauren, and walked straight up to grab Chloe’s hand.

Without saying a word, he grabbed Chloe and left.

The crowd was shocked by the scene. ‘What was Jordan trying to do?’

Marissa also could not help but speak up. “Jordan Steele! You rude and uncultured son-in-law! You didn’t even greet me when you saw me! Do you still take me as your mother-in-law!?!”

Marissa was annoyed to have been ignored. She felt that Jordan must still hate her for slapping him the last time. Likewise, Clarice had also heard about it just now and sneered.

“They all say that there is no feud that lasts overnight between couples. Jordan, surely you don’t hate me until now because I slapped you? You’re so petty.”

Lauren was the only person present who could tell that there was something wrong with Jordan!

Jordan was in no way deliberately treating Lauren’s family harshly because of what happened previously.

Jordan was magnanimous enough to not do such a childish thing!

Lauren chased Jordan all the way to the courtyard where she scurried up to him and asked, “Honey, where are you taking Chloe?”

Jordan didn’t hide it from Lauren. He merely said, “To the paternity test center!”

Lauren was instantly shocked. “To the… paternity test center? You want to take Chloe to get another paternity test done? Why?”

The Howards were dumbfounded.

Clarice was puzzled. “Wasn’t one done already?”

Hailey was stunned and she immediately smiled with joy.

‘I know! It must be that Jordan has already found out about Lauren’s affair with another man so he suspects that the previous paternity test report was falsified! It turns out that Lauren is not a good woman either! I have a chance again!’

When Chloe heard that they were going to go to the paternity test center again, she frantically let go of Jordan’s hand.

“No, Daddy, I don’t like going to that place. I don’t want to go.”

Lauren asked, “Honey, what happened? Can you tell me?”

Jordan didn’t want to question Lauren to her face. “I don’t want to embarrass you in front of your family. Let’s talk when we get home!”

As he said that, he walked out of the villa while Lauren carried Chloe.

In the living room, the rest of the Howards were all confused.

Clarice asked, “What’s going on here? Should we follow and take a look?”

Jordan quickly drove home with Lauren.

Upon arriving home, Lauren handed Chloe to Felicia before returning to the bedroom with Jordan. She could tell that Jordan was furious so she took the initiative to hold his hand.

She asked softly, “Honey, what exactly happened?”

Jordan shook off Lauren’s hand and asked, “Lauren, tell me honestly, is Chloe my child or not?”

His question made Lauren dumbfounded.

Lauren said, “Of course Chloe is your child, you’re the only man I’ve slept with in this lifetime…”

“That’s enough!” Jordan suddenly thundered. “Stop saying that I am your only man and that I’m the only person you’re in love with. I don’t want to hear these lies from you anymore!”

Lauren was dumbfounded. Only then did she realize that Jordan was doubting her loyalty!
