Chapter 355: Slander Me?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Previously, Jordan had called Mandy to ask about Victoria’s whereabouts, and he even told her to notify him once she had news about Victoria.
“h.e.l.lo.”
Jordan answered quickly.
On the other hand, Mandy asked eagerly, “Mr. Steele, I just received a call from my neighbor in DC who told me that someone splashed paint on the door of my house and I’m very worried about your safety. Are you alright?”
!!
“What? Someone splashed paint onto the door?”
Jordan was stunned, and he immediately understood what was going on as he glared furiously at Chris, who was in front of him.
He had torn up the decorations for Chris’s wedding just now, so he reckoned that the middle-aged man must have gone to complain to Chris.
He reckoned that Chris’s underlings must have been the one who splashed paint on the door.
Jordan was in a foul mood and he said, “Mandy, I’m alright. This matter does have something to do with me, and I know the culprit behind it. I’ll give you an explanation.”
After all, he was living in someone else’s house, so he felt bad that Mandy’s door was getting splashed with paint because of the trouble caused by Jordan.
Since Mandy was groomed and promoted by Victoria, she naturally wouldn’t bother about those things with Jordan.
She said magnanimously, “Hey, Mr. Steele, you don’t need to give me any explanation. Good, that you’re fine. The rest are all trivial matters.”
However, Jordan said, “Mandy, I don’t know where Victoria has gone now. I can’t keep staying in your house. How about this? I’ll send the keys of your house back to you via courier.”
However, Mandy said, “There’s really no need. Mr. Steele, just keep staying there. You don’t have to be so formal with me.”
Jordan was now in a different situation than before, and he could no longer give Mandy anything. Thus, he insisted, “It’s settled. I’ll hang up now.”
After hanging up the phone, Jordan rushed to Chris menacingly and questioned, “Are you the culprit behind the paint-splas.h.i.+ng?”
Chris was still secretly tasting the sea ba.s.s made by Jordan, which he actually thoroughly enjoyed. He was stunned for a moment after hearing Jordan’s question. He then put down his cutlery and stood up furiously.
“Oh, so the one who tore my wedding decorations was you, punk! I was wondering who was so obnoxious as to tear up the decorations for mine and Lauren’s wedding!”
“Yes, I was the one who sent my men to splash paint at that house, but I remember the owner is a lady. Are you living at someone else’s pace?”
Jordan said, “Good that you are willing to admit it.”
Jordan immediately picked up the phone to call the police.
“Police? I’d like to report a crime. Someone splashed paint at the door of the house I’m staying in.”
“My name is Jordan and I live at…”
After reporting the crime, Chris laughed unrestrainedly and asked, “Jordan Steele, you really don’t seem like a descendant of a prestigious family. How are you so simple-minded?”
“You think you can put me behind bars just like that? What are you thinking!? Do you know how many henchmen I have?”
Chris humphed arrogantly and then called Robb in.
“Robb, get the kid who splashed paint in the morning to go to the police station and turn himself in. He’ll at most be detained for 10 days and issued a fine of a few hundred dollars. Tell him he’ll get $1500 for each day he stays there!”
Robb chuckled and said, “Hey, that’s a really good deal. You’re making me tempted to go to jail in his place. Okay, I’ll call him now.”
Chris proudly crossed one leg over the other. Jordan once had numerous underlings, so he knew underlings would usually vie with each other to take the rap for their boss and would never expose their boss’s crimes.
Jordan secretly swore that he would find the opportunity to land Chris in jail!
He ignored Chris again and instead placed a Perry Express order with his cell phone.
In less than ten minutes, a long-legged Ukrainian girl arrived at the courtyard on a bicycle.
“h.e.l.lo, I’m from Perry Express. May I ask which gentleman placed the order?”
The Ukrainian beauty asked in fluent English.
Jordan walked to the courtyard and said, “It’s me.”
As soon as he came out, the Ukrainian beauty immediately jumped up in surprise. “Oh my G.o.d, it’s you, Supervisor Steele!”
Jordan also recognized that the Ukrainian beauty courier in front of him was among the batch that he had trained when he was the head of the training department in New York City!
“Your name is Lisa, right?”
Jordan asked with a smile.
“Alright.”
The Ukrainian beauty named Lisa happily hugged Jordan, “Supervisor Steele, I really didn’t expect to meet you in DC!”
Jordan asked, “How is it going here?”
The Ukrainian beauty nodded and said, “It’s wonderful here. I really like DC and I even got a boyfriend here!”
“However, so many of my friends who came with me are ready to jump s.h.i.+p to Breezy Express.”
“Oh.”
Jordan was slightly surprised to hear that.
“Could it be that the Huxleys are taking advantage of the fact that my a.s.sets are frozen and Victoria’s whereabouts are unknown, to make a comeback and rise back to power?”
Previously, the Huxleys’ Breezy Express had been suppressed by Jordan to the point that they turned from the top courier company in the country to a second-tier family that had had their a.s.sets reduced by half.
However, the business industry is like a battlefield. As long as a business was still surviving, they would desperately fight for the opportunity to retaliate.
Jordan had been busy with his personal matters during this period and had completely neglected the company’s affairs. He reckoned that Breezy Express was probably going to make a move now.
Jordan sighed and thought that perhaps the Huxleys were destined not to perish yet. However, his feud with the Huxleys was over and he no longer cared about their actions anymore.
Jordan took out the key and said, “I want to send this to the Perry Express office in New York City.”
The Ukrainian girl replied, “Okay, please show me the address.”
Jordan opened a picture and the Ukrainian girl scanned it, after which the address was filled in automatically. She then wrapped the key.
Jordan said, “Uh, I… I would like to opt for cash-on-delivery.”
Jordan was rather embarra.s.sed when he said that, but he really couldn’t afford to pay the delivery fee now.
Chris, who was standing at the door, had also long been attracted to the Ukrainian beauty’s long legs. Upon hearing his words, he couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Hahahaha, this is hilarious. The owner behind Perry Express has to opt for cash on delivery when he’s using his company’s services. This is really the most ridiculous thing I have seen in my life!”
At this juncture, the Ukrainian beauty said, “Mr. Steele, you’re the one who selected me and brought me here. Without you, I wouldn’t be here today, nor would I have met a man who loves me so much. Let me pay the delivery fee for you!”
“Lisa…”
The Ukrainian beauty stowed the express parcel away and then got on her bike. She waved at Jordan and said, “Goodbye, my handsome Mr. Steele!”
After Lisa left, Chris asked again uncouthly, “Jordan, this woman is actually willing to pay for the express service on your behalf. Seems like your relations.h.i.+p with her isn’t ordinary. Did you sleep with her when you trained her in the past?”
After getting mocked by Chris several times, Jordan could no longer tolerate it!
“Do you want to know?”
Jordan asked.
“Yes.” Chris nodded.
“Come here.”
Jordan beckoned to Chris.
As soon as Chris leaned in, Jordan punched him!
