Chapter 1140: Lionel’s Intention!
Lionel was a little frightened by Jordan’s words. His expression instantly changed.
However, after confirming it in his heart, Lionel smiled. “Mr. Jordan, don’t scare me. You can’t joke around. If Victoria really comes to the capital, I’m afraid it will really be a life and death situation.”
Jordan snorted and drank another gla.s.s of wine. He asked, “What exactly do you mean by bringing this counterfeit to the bar to sing? Are you trying to anger Victoria or me?”
Lionel said, “Actually, coming to the bar to sing is what this woman with plastic surgery wants. However, I don’t dare to lie in front of Mr. Steele. Indeed, I agreed to let her sing at the capital bar because I wanted her to attract you, Mr. Jordan.”
!!
Jordan took a sip of wine and asked, “What for?”
Lionel said, “To be honest, although we’ve temporarily reconciled with Victoria, she’s really a ticking time bomb. It’s impossible for us to be completely at ease with her. What if she becomes emotionally unstable one day or is bewitched by others? The only person we trust is you, Mr. Steele. Only when Victoria returns to your arms and is watched over by you will we be willing to completely trust her.”
“That’s why I asked this woman to sing here. I hope to attract you to come over and sit down. I want you to recall your beautiful moments with Victoria and make you court her!”
Jordan knew that Lionel had ulterior motives.
Ever since he knew that Lionel was hiding something from him, Jordan’s att.i.tude towards him was no longer as good as before.
Jordan said coldly, “Victoria and I have already broken up. It’s impossible for me to be with her again.”
Seeing how determined Jordan was, Lionel decided to change his approach. “Jordan, I’ve always thought that you’re the most charming and powerful man in the world. There’s nothing in this world that you can’t do. I didn’t expect you to be unable to get your ex-girlfriend back!
“Aren’t you a Deity? Aren’t you omnipotent? Why can’t you make Victoria fall in love with you again? Why are you inferior to your uncle?”
Smack!
Jordan flew into a rage and slammed the table.
Jordan said angrily, “Lionel, don’t try to goad me. Do you think I’ll be used by you? I’ve already done enough for you and the US! Back then, in order to save the people in the capital, I could only sacrifice Victoria and be humiliated. You owe me and Victoria this!”
Lionel only found out about this later.
Lionel lowered his head in respect. “Mr. Jordan, I’m sorry. I have high respect for you. I had no choice but to let you resolve this matter. Sigh, if Victoria is still your woman, all the problems will be solved. If she can’t return to your side, we can only kill her. But once we kill her, you will target us. We are in a dilemma now!”
Jordan lit a cigarette and shook his head. “Lionel, you’re wrong. Even if Victoria returns to my side now and even if she’s my wife now, the problem can’t be resolved. In the past, Victoria listened to me because I was far better than her in terms of family background and ability. However, she’s too powerful now. She’s even more powerful than me. Even if we get together again, with her personality, I can’t stop her from doing whatever she wants.”
Lionel couldn’t help taking a sip of wine. “Mr. Steele, your a.n.a.lysis is right. I didn’t think of that. However, you two have a deep relations.h.i.+p. With you by her side and Victoria being a good woman, our worries will be minimized.
“Mr. Steele, you should still give it a try and get Victoria back.”
At this point, Lionel snapped his fingers and instructed someone to call down the counterfeit Victoria, who had just finished singing.
“Mr. Lionel.”
Victoria’s impostor called out to Lionel respectfully.
Lionel instructed the woman, “Sit near Mr. Steele.”
“Yes!”
Victoria’s impostor sat beside Jordan and said with a smile, “Mr. Jordan, long time no see.”
The two of them had interacted several times.
However, Lionel continued, “Sit on Mr. Steele’s lap.”
Victoria’s impostor was a little afraid. “I… I don’t dare to.”
Victoria’s impostor was still very afraid of Jordan. Moreover, she knew that Jordan did not like her.
Lionel said forcefully, “What are you afraid of? Mr. Steele won’t hit you. Do as I say.”
Jordan was very unhappy. “Why do you insist on letting her sit on my lap?”
Just as Jordan was about to argue with Lionel, the woman who had undergone plastic surgery had already sat down.
As it was a nightclub performance, the dress the woman had undergone plastic surgery had a short skirt, revealing her fair and long legs.
Not only did she have the same face as Victoria, her figure was also extremely similar. When she sat on Jordan’s lap, he smelled the perfume that was similar to Victoria’s and looked at her side profile.
At this moment, in a daze, Jordan really had the illusion that the person sitting on his lap was Victoria!
Seeing this scene, Lionel smiled. He wanted Jordan to feel nostalgic for Victoria. Only then would he be determined to win her back.
To them, only when Jordan got Victoria back would the world be peaceful.
Victoria’s impostor used to work as a karaoke hostess. As such, she was very good at coaxing people and observing their expressions.
“Mr. Jordan, I haven’t seen you for a while. Why do you look so haggard? My heart aches for you. What’s there to be unhappy about? Tell me and I’ll cheer you up.”
Although Jordan enjoyed this moment, he would not be immersed in falsehoods.
Even if Jordan wanted to hug someone, it would be the real Victoria. What was the point of having a counterfeit?!
In particular, this counterfeit could imitate Victoria’s aura. However, ever since Victoria became a purple-level mutant, her domineering aura was completely different from before.
This woman had never seen the current Victoria before. She couldn’t imitate her cold, arrogant and domineering aura at all.
Jordan did not push her away immediately. Instead, he looked at Lionel and asked, “You have really put in a lot of effort. In order to let her charm me, you even changed her voice. Her current voice quality is top-notch even among professional singers.”
As soon as Jordan entered the bar to listen to the girl’s singing, he could tell that her voice had changed. It was more recognizable and advanced than before.
Ordinary people’s voices would not change so easily. Jordan guessed that Lionel must have given her some medicine.
Lionel was stunned. “What? Change her voice? I didn’t. Didn’t she always sing like this?”
Victoria’s impostor was so shocked that she swallowed hard and avoided eye contact.
At this moment, they did not notice that in the crowded and lively bar crowd, there was a muscular man drinking wine and staring at Jordan’s booth from time to time.
It was Rong Bingshao’s subordinate, Nick.
