Chapter 195: Russell You Beast!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Victoria had indeed told Jordan before that her younger sister had a livelier personality than her.
In fact, Victoria was quite bubbly at first. Still, the sudden crisis faced by her family led her to drop out of school to become a businesswoman at a young age. Coupled with the fact that she had become the mistress of her father’s friend, her personality gradually began to change.
However, Emily was different. She was still young, and the moment Victoria decided to become Russell’s mistress, Emily was destined to live a carefree life.
!!
Victoria used her body in exchange for her sister’s carefree life of luxury.
Since their parents pa.s.sed, Emily became particularly dependent on Victoria, and the two shared a close-knit relations.h.i.+p.
Victoria said, “Emily, that’s not how you should be speaking to your future brother-in-law.”
“Jordan, ignore her. She’s just that straightforward and rude with her words.”
Jordan, of course, wasn’t offended at all. The fact that Emily was willing to joke with him meant that she liked the idea of him being her future brother-in-law.
Victoria pointed the camera at herself and said, “We’re having dinner now. Talk to you again at night.”
Emily hurriedly said, “Don’t hang up. I can tell that you’re eating at a nice place. Are you on a yacht? Stop eating now and walk around the yacht to show me what there is.”
“Uh…”
Victoria was feeling a little conflicted because she knew that her sister adored such luxurious things, and she also wanted to show her what the world’s most luxurious yacht was like
However, if she were to leave Russell, her ex, alone with her current boyfriend, Jordan, she was worried they might get into an argument.
Jordan could tell that Victoria was stuck in a dilemma, so he said, “Show her around the yacht while I chat with Mr. Miller. It’ll be fine.”
Russell grinned, thinking that his opportunity had arrived. He said, “Yeah, this is such a beautiful yacht. She’ll definitely love it.”
Victoria had just gotten onto the yacht and was relatively unfamiliar with it, so Jordan called a waiter over to act as a guide. The waiter brought Victoria to the 4D movie theater on the floor below.
After Victoria left, only Jordan and Russell were left at the dining table. Thus, they were straightforward and honest with their words as they saw no need to pretend now that they were alone.
Russell was not in a hurry. He first took a sip of wine, felt the cool breeze, and then looked at the beautiful view of the Hudson River.
He remarked in awe, “It’s great to be rich. I can do whatever I want whenever I please. I can go to any place I want to too.”
“Jordan, I actually have no prejudice against you. Please don’t be mistaken. I actually had the chance to try for another baby boy. If he had been conceived and delivered successfully, he’d probably be as old as you now.”
“I know you come from a good background, but you have to look forward in life and yearn for more instead of remaining status quo. You’re giving up on yourself by being a courier delivery man now!”
“How about this? Since you don’t want to further your education, come work for me at my company. I’ll arrange for you to take on a mid-level management job with an annual salary of $80,000, excluding other benefits. How does that sound to you?”
Russell didn’t know how Jordan got this yacht. Still, he guessed from Victoria’s expression that Jordan probably wasn’t very affluent now.
If Victoria knew that Jordan had money, she would definitely tell Russell to drop the idea of marrying her.
Jordan said with a faint smile, “Annual salary of $80,000? Haha, no thanks, but I think being a freeloader suits me more.”
Bang!
Russell flew into a rage and smacked his hand against the table.
If Jordan was an ordinary young man with low self-esteem and was obsessed with money and power, he would have long been attacked by Russell to the point of bursting into tears.
However, Jordan was different. Regardless of what Russell said, Jordan wouldn’t take his words seriously, and he even made freeloading seem like a glorious thing.
Russell barked angrily, “Jordan! Don’t you feel ashamed to be sponging off a woman and making her provide for you?”
“I will definitely not let Victoria marry such an incompetent man like you!”
Jordan was just as enraged, and he had long disliked Russell!
Jordan smacked his hand against the table and hollered, “Victoria can marry anyone she wants. Who are you to care!?!”
Russell said, “She has come this far because of my training! Her father and I are close friends, and her father entrusted me to take care of her before he pa.s.sed, so of course, I’m qualified to take care of her!”
Jordan was so angry that he lost his temper right on the spot. “Screw you, b.a.s.t.a.r.d. How dare you mention her father, you beast?!”
“Her father asked you to take care of her before he died, and you got into her pants! Are you worthy of the word “friend”? Do you even respect your friends.h.i.+p with him!?!”
Jordan was utterly enraged. He initially didn’t plan to fall out with Russell so terribly. After all, the exchange of snide remarks and secret scheming throughout dinner was enough for him to get back at Russell.
However, Russell mentioned Victoria’s father and also said that he cared about her as an elder, which Jordan was absolutely disgusted by!
Russell was wealthy enough to make any woman his mistress, but he just had to pick his friend’s daughter.
While Victoria was pretty, there were also other beautiful girls in Houston.
After being scolded by Jordan, Russell also felt very ashamed.
In fact, he also felt rather sorry towards Victoria’s father because the latter had helped Russell a lot during his lifetime. Even if Victoria wasn’t his woman, he should still help her family.
Both men stood still and looked at each other.
The food and wine gla.s.ses on the table had already fallen onto the ground because of how hard they had slammed their hands onto the table.
Russell looked at the young Jordan. He was jealous of Jordan’s youth and his ability to freeload so righteously.
He could never do that because he could only ever rely on money to subdue women.
Just as the two were staring at each other, the sounds of hurried footsteps came from afar.
Jordan immediately felt that something was wrong. There was no way the crew would walk so quickly, and the sound of the footsteps suggested that they belonged to someone who was barefooted.
“Someone is coming.”
Jordan suddenly said.
“What?” Russell immediately stood back in fear.
His life was worth a lot of money, and the richer a person was, the more afraid he would be of death.
Indeed, a stranger appeared and charged towards them in less than ten seconds, soaking wet and barefooted.
Meanwhile, Jordan was already ready to fight!
However, to their surprise, the young man fell to his knees with a thud when he saw Jordan.
Jordan was curious.
The young man not only knelt down in front of Jordan but also kowtowed to Russell.
“Buddy, Uncle, please, please give me some money. I just need $20,000, and I promise I’ll return the money to you!”
While Jordan and Russell were both baffled, the crew on the yacht had already discovered that something was amiss and scurried over.
“Sorry, Mr. Steele, this man jumped into the Hudson River and climbed onto our yacht. Since he’s disturbing you, I’ll throw him into the river right now.”
The tall and burly crewman lifted the young man up with one hand.
“Wait a minute,” Russell called out to the crewman to stop him.
