Chapter 555 Lauren Is Cured!
In the courtyard of Lauren’s house in the capital.
Lauren and Victoria held hands as they watered the flowers in the courtyard. The two beauties had blissful smiles on their faces and seemed to have a good relations.h.i.+p. In the middle of the courtyard was a red suitcase belonging to Victoria.
A smile was on Lauren’s face. “Victoria, Jordan will be returning to the capital today. Don’t stay in a hotel. Stay here with us.”
Ever since Victoria came to the capital, she had been staying in a hotel.
!!
Victoria was a little embarra.s.sed. “It won’t be… too appropriate, right?”
The two of them had reached a consensus and established a good relations.h.i.+p over the past two days. However, Victoria felt a little embarra.s.sed to stay with them. She had always been a proud and domineering female president. She could accept it if this was Jordan’s house.
But staying in the house of her man’s wife was a little embarra.s.sing.
Lauren held her hand and said sincerely, “You don’t have to worry as I’m the only one living here. Moreover, my brother’s people are protecting us near the courtyard. It’s very safe.”
Seeing how sincere Lauren was, Victoria nodded in agreement. However, at this moment, Marissa appeared at the door.
“Mom, why are you here?”
Lauren was a little surprised.
Victoria quickly greeted Marissa respectfully. “h.e.l.lo, Auntie Marissa.”
However, Marissa just rolled her eyes at Victoria and ignored her greeting.
Marissa walked straight to Lauren and grabbed her slender wrist. “Why is this woman here?”
“I invited Victoria to stay here,” Lauren explained.
Marissa said angrily, “Are you crazy? When other women meet their husband’s mistress, they can’t wait to chase her away. But you took the initiative to invite her home? Is your brain fried? How did I give birth to a spineless daughter like you?”
Lauren was upset. “Victoria isn’t a mistress. She was with Jordan before we got married. If anyone is a mistress, I am the one, not Victoria.”
Exasperated, Marissa slapped Lauren!
Smack!
Marissa scolded. “Why are you so useless?! What drug did that b*stard Jordan give you? What bewitching potion did he give you to make you think that you’re the mistress? Jordan is so despicable! He’s a manipulative b*stard who deceives women!”
After slapping Lauren, Marissa pointed at Victoria and her luggage. “You are a shameless woman who ruined someone else’s family. If your parents had brought you up well, you wouldn’t have appeared in this house! Take your luggage and get out of our house immediately!”
Tears were flowing down Lauren’s face. As for Victoria, she would never lower her head to anyone in her life. Even in the capital, even if the Howard family had power, she would never be humiliated like this.
Victoria took her luggage and left! However, she had only taken two steps when she halted.
“Jordan…”
Jordan appeared at the door dressed in black casual wear!
On the way back, Jordan had been in a good mood and could not wait to go home to see his two women. He did not expect to see his mother-in-law slapping Lauren and humiliating Victoria the moment he got home!
Jordan was exasperated. What right did Marissa have to treat his women like this?!’
Jordan had once been somewhat intimidated by the Howard family. After all, the Howard family was very rich and powerful.
The Steeles respected the Howard family.
But now, Jordan knew of the existence of the eight great families and how they were the true masters of the world. They were the ones leading the way and who could change the world!
Compared to the Steeles, the Howard family was like an ant! They were inferior!
Therefore, Jordan walked into the courtyard and stood in front of Marissa.
Immediately, his nose was a.s.saulted by a strong perfume that only middle-aged women wore.
Jordan raised his hand and slapped her!
Smack!
Marissa was stunned. “You… you dare to hit me? You dare to hit your mother-in-law?”
Marissa had slapped Jordan a few times before, but he had not dared to retaliate. Just now, the person Marissa had slapped was not Jordan or even Victoria, she had slapped her daughter.
But he immediately returned that slap without hesitation?
To think that Jordan had become so bold after coming back from England?
After learning the Steele family secret, Jordan only respected people from the eight major families in the world. He had no regard for any of the other families! He would slap her as and when he wished to!
“Marissa, you slapped my wife. Of course, I’ll slap you!”
Marissa was furious. “You still have the cheek to stand up for Lauren? Do you really love her? You’ve only been married for less than a year, but you’re already taking on a new woman! Is there anyone who bullies others like you? The Howard family will be humiliated! Since you’re here, explain yourself!”
Indeed, with the Howard family’s status, if the other families in the capital knew that the husband of the eldest Howard daughter was going to take in a new woman so soon after their wedding, they would laugh their heads off at the Howards.
It was an utter loss of face.
“I don’t owe any explanation to your family. The only person I need to give an explanation to is Lauren! I’ve already obtained Lauren’s approval. As long as she agrees, I don’t care if the rest of the Howard family agrees or not!”
Marissa was furious. “Alright, Jordan. You are going to take full advantage of Lauren, right?! You are bullying Lauren just because she can only love you and sleep with you. You are marrying Victoria this year, and then another one next year, right? Let me tell you, our daughter is not restricted to you only!”
Marissa looked at Lauren. “Lauren, you are cured now. Divorce Jordan and have him go with Victoria! We’ll find another one. He’ll definitely be a thousand times better than Jordan!”
“Cured? What do you mean?”
Jordan was stunned.
Marissa laughed. “Why? Are you panicking? You know that my daughter has recovered and can be with other men now, so you’re worried? Hmph, let me tell you. Before we returned from England, your family hired a doctor called Helen who treated Lauren’s illness! She’s already a normal woman now. She won’t be so infatuated with you anymore. Do you understand? Lauren can fall in love with other men and have s.e.x with them when and if she wants now!”
