Butler Frank was overjoyed. “When? Are you getting married to Miss Victoria?”
Jordan sighed and said, “The day after tomorrow. I’m getting married to Miss Lauren Howard, not Victoria.”
Butler Frank asked with bewilderment, “Mr. Jordan, how could this possibly happen?”
“Victoria has gone missing and I suspect it’s the Howards who did it. I must marry Lauren to find out where Victoria is.”
Butler Frank sighed. “Mr. Jordan, have you ever thought about how you’d be marrying the wrong person in case the Howards aren’t the culprits? You can’t just marry or divorce a Howard as you please.”
“I’ve thought about it but I have a hunch that even if the Howards aren’t the culprits, I still have to marry Lauren to find Victoria. It seems like everything is forcing me to go down this path.”
Frank exclaimed in surprise, “Mr. Steele Sr. has said a long time ago that your intuition and prediction are very accurate, Mr. Jordan. Mr. Steele Senior is resting at the moment. I’ll tell him the news when he wakes up later. But I’m afraid that Mr. Steele Senior won’t be able to attend your wedding in person, Mr. Jordan.”
Jordan said, “Well, I hadn’t planned to invite Grandpa. I just want to tell him that I’m doing well and that he doesn’t have to worry about me.”
After chatting with Butler Frank for a few minutes, Jordan hung up the phone. He then called Jesse but the latter didn’t answer.
Ten minutes later, Jesse returned the call with an unknown number.
“Jordan!”
“Jesse.”
“I was busy just now. What’s the matter? Is there any news from Jamie?”
“No, Jesse, I’m calling you to tell you that I’m getting married.”
Jesse was overjoyed. “You’re getting married? When? Looking forward to attending yours and Victoria’s wedding.”
When he was at the French bar, Jesse had told Jordan that he was waiting to attend his and Victoria’s wedding.
After a moment of silence, Jordan said, “1st April. But the person I’m marrying is Martin Howard’s granddaughter, Lauren, not Victoria.”
“What? You’re getting married to one of the Howards?”
Jesse was immediately agitated and astounded. “How can you marry a Howard? Don’t you love Victoria the most? I sent you the photo of Victoria’s father at the risk of being scolded by Grandpa, precisely because I wanted to help you and Victoria be together. Yet, you’re marrying another woman. Jordan, don’t become a womanizer like Jamie. You have to be responsible and loyal to your woman!”
Jesse was clearly dead set against the idea of Jordan marrying Lauren.
A sigh came out from Jordan. “Jesse, you don’t understand what’s going on. Of course I love Victoria and I really want to marry her. But, Victoria has suddenly gone missing and there’s no news about her at all. I suspect it was the Howards who abducted her and I have no choice but to marry Lauren.”
“Gone missing?” Jesse was bewildered.
Instead, Jordan asked, “Will you be attending my wedding on the 1st of April? The Howards want to meet my family.”
“Yes, your sister-in-law and I will be attending your wedding together. By the way, have Mom and Dad been informed about this? Are they going to turn up?” said Jesse.
“No, Dad refused to tell me anything about Victoria’s father and I don’t want to speak to him. I didn’t call Mom either.”
“My silly brother, don’t be emotional. Dad refused to tell you about it because the family rules prohibit him from doing so. I’ll call Mom later and ask her about it. Get some rest, I’ll see you on the 1st of April.”
“Okay, Jesse, I’ll be waiting for you two.”

The decorative wedding banners on the gates of the houses in DC were all removed and replaced by wedding banners with the Howards’ name printed on them.
That wasn’t all. The matter regarding the trouble faced by the Hanks, and Lauren getting married to a man who would become her live-in husband, also spread like wildfire throughout the upper-class circle of DC.
“Hey, have you heard? The Howards’ heiress has called off her wedding but she’s getting married on the same day with another man!”
“I heard that the groom is a penniless man from another city who doesn’t even have a house in DC and is going to marry Lauren Howard as a live-in husband!”
“Ahhh, I heard that Miss Howard is as beautiful as a goddess. How come I’m not as lucky as that man to be able to become her live-in husband!?”
...
In New City residential estate in Orlando.
“The wheels on the bus go round and round…”
Hailey played some children’s songs and sang along while coaxing her twins smilingly.
Although Hailey was not a good wife, she was definitely a good mother. But then again, which mother would dislike her own children?
Many celebrities cheated on their spouses, who liked to portray themselves as good mothers as if being good to their children would negate their immoral behavior.
At this moment, Hailey’s mother, Sylvie, entered looking incredibly flustered.
“My dear daughter, I heard a shocking piece of news when I was at a former classmate’s place just now. Guess who it was about?
Now that she had about 300 million dollars, Hailey was getting ready to set up a new company and had been living rather well lately. She would use the most expensive skincare products and hit the gym every single day.
With superb looks and a hot figure, she was an absolute beauty who would make all men unable to resist the urge to gawk at her.
“Who is it about? Why are you so excited?” Hailey asked nonchalantly.
Sylvie said, “It’s about Jordan! He’s getting married to Lauren Howard!”
What?” Hailey was shocked, “Lauren? As in Brad’s sister?”
She suddenly remembered that she had met Lauren the last time she went to Houston for Victoria and Russell’s wedding. Lauren was so beautiful that she made Hailey feel like she had met her match for the first time,
Hailey flew into a rage immediately. “Fine, Jordan Steele, you made me stay at home to look after the kids and yet, you’re getting married to Lauren Howard after toying with Victoria Clarke!”
“How infuriating. Since he’s no longer dating Victoria Clarke, why didn’t he choose me!?”
Sylvie chimed in, “Yeah, you and Jordan have a son together and it’d be great if you reconciled. But haven’t Jordan’s assets been frozen? Don’t you mind the fact that he’s poor?”
Hailey humphed coldly. “I would never believe that Jordan is poor again. I’ve already suffered losses twice because of this and got duped by him twice in a row! Now I finally know that Jordan Steele would never be penniless in this lifetime!
“Hmph, Jordan is so heartless. Back when I got married to Tyler and Cayden, he ruined it for me.. When Victoria got married, he ruined her wedding too and disrupted our peace. This time, I must crash Jordan’s wedding and wreak havoc too! I’m going to ruin his wedding!”
