Chapter 473: Cayden No Longer Exists In This World!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Seeing that Cayden was crying and pleading, Marissa felt rather sympathetic towards him. It was true that she liked him very much but she didn’t expect him to be the culprit who harmed Jordan.
Marissa was well aware of Martin’s temper and she wouldn’t let the matter slip so easily.
Seeing this, Stefan kicked Cayden away and rebuked furiously, “How dare you harm my son-in-law? I bet you don’t take the Howards seriously at all!”
Martin glowered at Cayden. Given his status and ident.i.ty, he didn’t have to say anything to this junior at all.
!!
Instead, he looked at Jordan and said, “Jordan, I know you must want to kill him to relieve the hatred in your heart but the matter will be very troublesome if you do it yourself. How about you leave it to me?”
Jordan nodded. He got Lauren to ask Martin to come over, precisely because he wanted to see how Martin would handle it.
If Martin was still benevolent and merciful to the person who had harmed him, like Marissa who even wanted to make Cayden her son-in-law, Jordan would ignore the rest of the Howards from this point onwards.
Apart from Lauren, he would not acknowledge any of them as his family!
Allof you, scram!
Seeing that Martin was coming over personally to handle this matter and that Cayden was kneeling to plead to him.
“Dad, Cayden harmed Jordan because of Hailey Camden. He’s just a kid, don’t punish him too severely.”
However, Martin hollered at Marissa, “Shut up! Since Jordan has married the Howards, he is one of us! I don’t care what feud there may be between Cayden Huxley and Jordan. Since Cayden has the guts to ignore the Howards and harm my grandson-in-law, it is a clear provocation to me!”
Cayden frantically interjected, “No! I definitely wouldn’t dare to! Mr. Howard Sr.! I didn’t mean to provoke the Howards at all!”
Martin said to Stefan, “Inform Mr. Craig who’s in charge of the Insight Project to send someone over with a copy of the human experiment volunteer agreement.”
“Yes!”
Hearing this, Cayden immediately trembled on the spot in fright. “Human experiment? No, no! I don’t want to partic.i.p.ate in human experiments. I don’t want to be a lab rat! I still want to live a healthy life. Mr. Howard Sr., please send me to prison. I’m begging you. I’m willing to go to jail for 20 years. No,
Iwant to be in prison for a lifetime!”
Martin ignored him.
Jordan nodded gratefully. This old man’s approach was very much to Jordan’s liking. Cayden almost caused Jordan to lose his eyesight this time so he definitely had to get rid of this significant threat to his life. He couldn’t let him stay at all!
Hence, Jordan hoped that the bottom line of the Howards was to leave Cayden with no ability to frame him any longer.
As such, Martin’s approach was very appropriate.
Soon, two mysterious people came and forced Cayden to press his fingerprint on the agreement to sign it, after which Cayden was taken away.
“No! Martin Howard, you motherf**ker! Screw you! The Howards are all dogs! Lauren Howard, you’re just a wanton woman that anyone can sleep with, you shameless b.i.t.c.h! And you, Jordan Steele, I won’t let you off even if I become a ghost! I’ll cut off your limbs and castrate you! I’m going to s.n.a.t.c.h all
the women you like away from you!”
After Cayden was taken away by the two of them, he said lots of callous things. Perhaps, it was also the last words Jordan would hear from the man.
Martin said to Jordan, “I will personally inform the Huxleys. It doesn’t matter even if they’re angry. Given my understanding of Arthur Huxley, he won’t dare to go against us. Does Cayden have an elder brother? Don’t worry, I will also get someone to keep an eye on that kid so that he won’t get another
chance to harm you.”
Martin had made a thorough consideration. Likewise, Jordan was very pleased with the outcome.
“Thanks,” Jordan said.
However, at this moment, Marissa rolled her eyes and glared at Jordan.
Sensing his mother-in-law’s eye roll, Jordan felt extremely uncomfortable. He asked, “What are you glaring at me for?”
Marissa was furious and she didn’t think about why Jordan could see her.
Instead, she snapped back at him immediately, “Because I want to! You’re a good-for-nothing who only knows to create trouble for us and cause us to become enemies with the Huxleys! Although the Huxleys won’t dare to deal with us, they’re worth billions after all. If they choose to deal with us
privately, it’d be impossible for us to guard against them since there are so many of us.
“aren’t you very capable yourself? Don’t you have a lot of subordinates? Deal with your enemies on your own. What are you calling us here for!?!”
Marissa felt that Jordan was just a son-in-law whom she was about to get rid of soon and thus, it wasn’t worth offending such a powerful family for his sake.
However, as she said that, Marissa’s expression suddenly changed.
“Wait a minute. Jordan… You… How do you know that I’m glaring at you?”
Marissa’s words made Martin, Stefan, and the rest greatly astonished as they realized the problem!
Jordan smiled and looked at Marissa. “I not only know that you are glaring at me. I also know that you’re wearing bright-colored clothes today with a pair of tight-fitting pants. Hmph, you’re already in your forties and you’re still dressed like a 20-year-old. Do you think you have a superb figure?”
Jordan actually mocked his mother-in-law in front of his father-in-law and grandfather-in-law. Yet, none of them got angry at all.
On the contrary, Martin and Stefan were overjoyed and ecstatic!
Pus.h.i.+ng Marissa away, Martin moved toward Jordan excitedly. “Jordan, are your eyes okay? Can you see now?”
Brad pursed his lips and scoffed, “I think he was never blind at all. Who can do a slam dunk when he’s blind!? I already knew it was fake!”
Two days before the birthday bash, Jordan performed a dunk while he was blind, which gave Brad a great shock. If it was true, Brad would really wors.h.i.+p Jordan as a hero!
Jordan also said truthfully, “I did lose my eyesight in Houston but I took some medicine on the way here and recovered. To be able to find the culprit, I continued to pretend to be blind.”
Marissa was exasperated. “Great, Jordan Steele, not only did you cheat others, you even deceived your wife and in-laws! Do you still treat me as your mother-in-law!?!”
Jordan replied very directly, “No.”
Marissa froze, feeling extremely embarra.s.sed. He never thought that Jordan would be so honest!
Seeing that the two of them were arguing again, Lauren hugged Marissa smilingly and comforted her, “Mom, Jordan didn’t deceive me. He told me about it immediately.”
After hearing this, Marissa got even angrier. She even twisted Lauren’s ear and said, “Great, so much for you being my daughter. You actually colluded with Jordan to deceive me. You caused me to embarra.s.s myself while trying to choose another husband for you.”
Although he knew that Marissa wasn’t applying any strength, Stefan reached out and smacked Marissa’s hand away. “Enough, stop this nonsense. How can you still be in the mood to bother about these insignificant things at this time!?!”
Martin nodded with satisfaction. Stefan still understood him best.
Stefan looked at Jordan and asked, “Jordan, since your eyes are fine, does that mean that you can go to England?”
