Chapter 518 - 8 Jamie Is A Good Person?
The Abandoned Husband Dominates
As Emily was very close to Jordan, she did not intend to avoid him. This made Jordan feel awkward because he would recall the scenes in the car from time to time.
A young lady like Emily, who had just become a woman, was actually more open-minded than Jordan, who had been married twice.
Emily said, âJordan, donât make it seem like youâre going to war with Jamie. He treats me and my sister very well. Heâs a good person! There must be some misunderstanding between you two. Sit down and have a good chat with him. Iâm sure things will definitely be resolved!â
Jordan guessed that Emily must know something after being with Jamie for so long. He asked, âHe treated you girls very well? But he took Victoria away from me without a single word.â
âYes, Jamie really treats us very well. He saved my father, and I was with my father during that period of time. I never thought that I would be able to spend time with him again in this life. Iâm really grateful to Jamie!â Emily reiterated.
Jordan was stunned. âWhat? Youâre saying that your father, Norman, is on the island too?â
âYes, yes.â Emily nodded vigorously. âNo wonder he was able to lure Victoria away without any resistance.â
On the day Victoria went missing, there were no signs of any scuffle. With Victoriaâs skills, even if she was no match for Jamie, she would have put up a decent fight.
Jordan did not understand. âWhy didnât he tell me that he saved Norman? I would definitely support him. Victoria is my girlfriend, so I wouldnât tell the family about this. Also, why hasnât Victoria contacted me?â
Jamie had always been a rebel. Now that he had secretly brought Norman out, he had violated the familyâs rules again. Although Jordan was obedient to his grandfather, he would definitely be selfish when it came to his girlfriend. He would not expose Jamie.
Emily replied, âBecause they want you to marry the eldest daughter of the Howard family.â
Jordan was stunned. âThey wanted me to marry Lauren? Why?â
Emily shook her head. âI donât know the exact reason. When we reach the island, you can ask your brother yourself.â
Jordan thought about it carefully. He had no idea what Jamie was up to. He had arranged for Lauren to be with him four years ago, and now, he was bent on breaking up Jordan and Victoria, and marrying her himself.
Why did he have to marry Lauren?
At the mention of Lauren, Jordan found that he did miss her a little, especially when he recalled what happened at the amusement park in the suburbs of Houston. Those killers who were sent there.
If those killers were really his brotherâs menâ¦
Jordan felt worried for Lauren!
âExcuse me.â
Jordan walked to a private room and called Lauren.
Perhaps there were still some civilian planes today that didnât allow people to make phone calls during flight, but such a backward concept didnât exist on Zephyr Three.
âHello, Honey.â
Lauren immediately picked up the call. Her voice was still as pleasant as ever.
âHoney, are you alright?â Jordan asked.
Lauren replied, âYes, I was playing with Chloe and just returned to my room. How are you? Have you found Victoria?â
Jordan said, âIâm on my way to find her now. Iâll probably see her soon.â
There was a pause before Lauren continued, âI wish you success, Hubby.â
Jordan asked, âHoney, are you used to living in the castle? Did anything unpleasant happen? How is Jesse treating you?â
Lauren reassured Jordan. âJesse treats me very well. He asked me to choose another 10 of his businesses and introduced me to many people. He told me a lot about your family. Hubby, your big brother is really good! Iâve never seen such a good elder brother.â
Jordan said, âThatâs good. Stay in the castle. If you want to go back, get Butler Frank to send you back.â
Lauren agreed. âOkay.â Jordan added. âOh yes, is Hailey still in the castle?â
Lauren replied, âYes, sheâs still a maid here. However, she has hired many foreign language teachers and is learning English, French, Korean, and Italian every day. Hubby, I think sheâs still fantasizing about being your wife.â
Jordan snorted. âSheâs gotta be dreaming. Let her be. I need to leave now, call me if thereâs anything.â
In England.
Just as Lauren hung up the phone, Hailey knocked on the door and walked in.
âMrs. Jordan.â Hailey walked in respectfully.
Lauren glanced at her and asked, âWhat is it?â
Hailey reported, âThere are guests at the castle. Mr. Jesse wants you to go down and meet them.â
âOh, okay. Tell Jesse that Iâll go down after I change,â Lauren said. Hailey wasnât in a hurry to leave. Instead, she asked, âUm⦠has Jordan called recently?â
Lauren didnât try to hide it. âYes, he just called and said that heâs about to see Victoria.â
Hailey asked curiously, âArenât you worried? What if he sees Victoria and gets together with her and doesnât want you anymore? Or what if Victoria asks him to divorce you? Arenât you worried?â
Lauren smiled. âI only know that if Victoria wanted to snatch Jordan from me, I would never have gotten the chance to marry Jordan. Iâve always felt that Victoria played a part in helping me marry Jordan.â
Hailey was shocked. âWhat? She helped you? I think youâre mistaken. Victoria is a slutty fox. She was a âCEO-killerâ back in Orlando. She flirted with many CEOs and made their wives grit their teeth in hatred. Do you know what sheâs best at? Destroying other peopleâs families. How could she have wanted to help you?!â
Lauren shook her head in exasperation. It looked like Hailey did not know Victoria at all. If Victoria was really that kind of woman, why would Jordan spend so much effort to find her?
âYou can leave,â Lauren said in a cold voice.
Hailey snorted and turned to leave.
Lauren changed into a more appropriate outfit and went to the living room to meet the guests.
At that moment, Jesse was chatting with a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was sitting on the sofa, smoking a cigar. He looked very imposing
Beside him was a young woman in her 30s.
Lauren approached them and Jesse quickly introduced her, âUncle Hutton, this is Jordanâs new wife. Lauren, this Hutton James, he has been a good friend of the Steele family for decades.â
Lauren walked over politely and greeted, âHello, Mr. James.â
Hutton remained in his seat. He did not get up. He glanced at Lauren. âJust call me Uncle Hutton. Jordan has good taste. You are very beautiful.â
Hutton puffed without restraint in the living room, and his sitting posture was very domineering.
Most of the previous guests whom Lauren had seen were very respectful and careful. No one behaved in such a casual manner like Hutton.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
It looked like Hutton was also an important figure on the same level as the Steeles!
