The Abandoned Husband Dominates

While containing his laughter, Jordan recalled what happened that night and said, âNo, Stefan, Marissa treats me very wellâ¦â
Jordan was thrilled at the thought of the slap that he had given Marissa! As Marissaâs son-in-law, he ought not to hit her regardless of how overboard she was. Moreover, she was a woman.
Hence, he was still glad to be able to secretly take revenge against her.
Turning to face Lauren, Jordan said, âLauren, sit down. Why miss a performance? Iâd like to know how much better other men of my age are than I am!â
Martin nodded gratefully, not expecting Jordan to be so generous and gracious.
How confident must he be to sit here and enjoy the performance of his love rivals?
First of all, the performance was put up by the scions of DC and the content was rather mediocre. It was impossible for them to attract the heiress of a top family like Lauren at all. Aside from personal charm and based on family status alone, they would be even less attractive to the Howards.
Who in DC could be compared to the Howards?
After that, there were a few other scions of other cities that showcased their talents but they barely passed.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Finally, there are only three left, namely Matthew from Houston, Henry from Orlando, and Cayden from New York!
Since this talent competition was essentially for the sake of selecting a husband for Lauren, they still had to act like it was to cheer Martin up. Hence, when it was Matthewâs turn, Matthew took the initiative to walk toward Martin and said respectfully, âMr. Howard Sr., talent shows and the like are not my
forte. I donât like such noisy stuff. Due to my fatherâs involvement in the government sector, I was influenced by my father and some of my teachers. Since I was a child, Iâve been more interested in things like face-reading.â
Many people knew that Matthew had an incredible family background too so they started currying favor with him.
âMr. Harmon, youâre so young but you already know feng shui and face-reading. How impressive.â
âThatâs right, no wonder your father has been doing so well in politics.â
Martin smiled and said, âMatthew, since you know how to read fortunes, why donât you help me read mine?â
Matthew hastily lowered his head and exclaimed, âI wouldnât dare to! Mr. Howard Sr., I can tell from your face alone that you will reach the ripe old age of a hundred years old. Your family will continue to prosper.â
Matthew obviously wouldnât dare to read Martinâs fortune because that was just akin to courting death. It was just like how people in history wouldnât dare to read the emperorâs fortune.
In ancient times, there was a metaphysician in China who had read the face and fortune of Emperor Taizong of Tang who then asked him how much longer he could live.
Despite having the answer, the metaphysician nevertheless got on his knees and said, âLong live, Your Majesty!â
Emperor Taizong of Tang then asked, âHow long can I reign over Tang?â
The metaphysician said, âUntil pigs can fly!â
Emperor Taizong of Tang was elated because it was impossible for a pig to go up a tree, which meant that the Tang Dynasty could continue for generations. However, what he didnât know was that the metaphysician was referring to an emperor named Zhu Wen who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and
was valued greatly.
Later, when he reached the peak of his power, he overthrew the Tang Dynasty and became the emperor himself.
Although Matthew was young, he knew that he couldnât just read the fortune of a bigwig like Martin.
Even if he did, he couldnât tell him the truth so whatâs the point in that?
Marissa found the bespectacled Matthew to be rather cute and decent-looking. He wasnât tall so he looked like a middle school kid. Although he wasnât very compatible with Lauren, he came from a good family and was easy to control. Hence, Marissa felt that he seemed to be a good candidate for a
son-in-law.
Marissa smiled and said, âMatthew, why donât you read Laurenâs face?â
Matthew looked at Lauren and immediately blushed the moment he saw her gorgeous face. âHelloâ¦â
Matthew walked over and first called out to Lauren. âHello⦠Hello, Miss Laurenâ¦â
Marissa laughed and said, âAh, why are you being so formal? Lauren may be a few years older than you but you are still considered to be of the same age group. You can just call her by her name.â
Matthew looked at Lauren and swallowed his saliva. âLauren⦠Laurenâ¦â
He didnât dare to call Lauren by her name in front of her.
Everyone was surprised by how shy and meek this esteemed scion was in front of a girl. He even seemed to have an inferiority complex.
Seeing that he was stammering, Jordan suddenly interjected, âYou should be addressing her as Mrs. Steele.â
Matthew suddenly stopped being nervous and looked at Jordan with some anger in his eyes. He was nervous to speak when facing a ravishing beauty like Lauren but he had no issue when facing a man.
Matthew said, âSorry, I donât know any Mrs. Steele! I only know that sheâs Miss Howard!â
Jordan glanced at the man, who was only about 1.66 meters tall, not expecting him to be so brazen as to snap back at Jordan!
âMatthew, I heard that youâre a guru of face-reading and metaphysics, huh?â
Matthew raised his head arrogantly and exclaimed, âIâm not a guru but you may call me Master!â
Chuckling at the younger male, Jordan said, âMaster Matthew, itâs such a coincidence that Iâve done a little research on face-reading, psychology, micro-expressions and whatnot.â
Matthew exclaimed in shock and seemed to be in disbelief. âHuh? Is that so?â
Jordan nodded and asked, âSince you know so much about face-reading, why donât you help me take a look?â
Marissa chimed in from the side, âHeâs here to read Laurenâs face. Whatâs there to read about yours!?!â
The reason that Marissa asked Matthew to read Laurenâs face was so that she could use it as a pretext to make them forge a deeper communication in a bid to make Lauren fall in love with him.
However, Jordan was right there so how could he allow another man to get close to his wife!?!
However, Matthew said, âMaâam, itâs alright, Iâll just read his face once!â
Matthew looked at Jordan and said, âMr. Howard Sr. as well as many elders are here. How impolite of you to still be wearing sunglasses! Take your sunglasses off so that I can read your face!â
Jordan was not afraid that Matthew could see through his pretense because he knew that there was no way this little punk was experienced enough.
Hence, Jordan took off his sunglasses and kept his eyes fixed on a certain spot.
Matthew stared at Jordan while secretly rejoicing. âIdiot. I knew it. Youâre blind!â
After a careful look, Matthew said, âMr. Steele, your eyes may seem to be damaged and similar to that of a normal humanâs but they lack focus and your visual perception of your surroundings is very weak. If Iâm not wrong, you should be blind, Mr.. Steele! You cannot see anything!â
