Chapter 338: The Humiliation Inflicted By The Howards!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jordan barged into the Howards’ courtyard alone!
His courage and bravery were far beyond what ordinary people could compare to!
When Martin saw Jordan entering, he first reprimanded Brad for being rude.
He then said to Jordan with a smile, “You’re here. Brad is young and insensible, don’t stoop to his level.”
Jordan looked at Martin, straightened his back and said without being condescending at all, “Greetings, Mr. Howard Sr. I heard that you and my grandfather are old friends and you’ve even helped him before.”
“My girlfriend and I have prepared a little gift for you, Mr. Howard Sr., please accept it.”
Martin nodded with a smile and said, “That’s very thoughtful of you, Jordan. Have a seat.”
A servant took the box of cigars from Jordan, who then sat beside Lauren near the door.
As soon as he sat down, another servant served him a cup of tea. “Sir, please have some tea.”
Hearing the Howard’s servant call him ‘Sir’, Jordan froze awkwardly and couldn’t help but glance at Lauren.
The servants of the Howards would usually call the spouses of the female descendants ‘Sir’ so Jordan reckoned that they had probably perceived him as Lauren’s husband.
After Jordan sat down, Martin laughed and said, “Speaking of your grandfather, it’s true that we knew each other decades ago. We were both running a business in New York City back then. I could tell since then that your grandfather has impeccable judgment and that he would have a promising future!”
“Speaking of which, at that time, I thought our descendants could get married so that he and I could become in-laws.”
“Unfortunately, your grandfather didn’t take a liking to my kids.”
At this moment, Brad’s father suddenly said, “Dad, why bring up the past!?!”
In the living room, a middle-aged woman who was donning expensive jewelry from head to toe, and whom Jordan had never met before, said with a look of displeasure, “Yeah, who wants to marry into the Steeles!? We didn’t take a liking to them either!”
Jordan smiled coldly. He could easily tell that they were still holding grudges because they had been rejected by Jordan’s grandfather back then.
It was no wonder that they’d be spiteful. Many people in the US wanted to marry the Howards.
‘But you people aren’t worthy of marrying the Steeles!’
Martin continued, “Haha, I didn’t expect that even though my son couldn’t marry someone from your family, my granddaughter amazingly got the chance to marry you.”
“I have heard about you and Lauren, Jordan. You raped my granddaughter, and she gave birth to your daughter, but for the last four years, you have shown no concern to my granddaughter and your daughter.”
“But I’m being nice enough to still be courteous to you today, right?”
Everyone knew the Howards were not to be trifled with, and even the esteemed Russell would have to be deferential to Martin.
If Jordan wasn’t a descendant of the Steeles and just a penniless man with nothing to his name, he definitely could not be sitting here and enjoying tea after raping Lauren.
He would have long been killed and had his corpse thrown into the sea!
Jordan said, “I’m indeed to blame for that incident and I’ve already sincerely apologized to Miss Howard for it.”
“The Howards have also hurt me and your grandson, Brad, also raped my ex-wife, Hailey, when we were still married. Hailey also gave birth to Brad’s daughter.”
Jordan’s words sparked a huge commotion.
Many of the elders, as well as Clarice, Lauren, all looked at Brad.
“Brad, you have a daughter? Since when?”
“Where is your daughter? Why didn’t you bring her back home for us to take a look at her?”
Clearly, many of the Howards were still unaware of this matter.
However, Martin did not seem too surprised.
“I’ve heard about it from Brad. He didn’t rape your ex-wife. Your ex-wife is the one who’s so materialistic and vain that she took the initiative to sleep with Brad after accepting 150 million dollars from him.”
“Jordan, a woman like Hailey, who’s from a third-tier family and would betray you for money, isn’t worthy of you at all!”
“Brad may have done something wrong, but his actions have also allowed you to see her true colors and sever ties with her. That’s a good thing too.”
Hearing Martin’s words, Jordan gibed, “Mr. Howard Sr., does that mean I have to thank Brad for making me a cuckold?”
With one leg crossed over the other, Brad laughed and said, “Let’s talk things over calmly. You don’t have to thank me. It has always been a hobby of mine to help others.”
Hearing Brad’s words, his siblings, except Lauren, laughed.
Clarice mocked, “Jordan, Brad may have made you a cuckold, but he paid your ex-wife 150 million dollars, which isn’t a small sum at all. Aren’t you penniless now? Go ask your ex-wife for some money. Half of those 150 million dollars should rightfully belong to you.”
“Hahahaha…”
Apart from Lauren, the rest of the Howards burst into laughter.
The beady-eyed Alex said, “Brad actually gave 150 million dollars to his ex-wife for sleeping with her. How generous of Brad.”
“I think if that’s the case, Jordan should hope for his wife to sleep with Brad a few more times.”
“Hahahahaha… that’s right. This is a path to wealth. The husband earns money by letting his wife sleep with other men.”
Alex and Clarice insulted Jordan together!
Jordan retorted immediately, “Which two dogs are barking?”
Alex flew into a rage and slammed his hand against the table. “Who are you calling a dog!?!”
Clarice was furious, too. “Do you really consider yourself an important member of the family? Even if you’re really Lauren’s husband, you’re not qualified to speak to us like that!”
Another woman who was younger than Lauren’s mother also chimed in angrily.
“Lauren has chosen such a terrible man. He spoke to his brother-in-law and sister-in-law so rudely the first time he’s here. How ill-mannered!”
Clarice looked at the middle-aged woman and said, “Mom, he’s just a rapist. What do you expect from him?”
It seemed that this younger, middle-aged woman was Alex’s and Clarice’s mother, which meant that she was their father’s second wife.
Jordan had heard Brad mention his father had two wives, one of whom mothered him and Lauren, while the other was the mother of Alex and Clarice.
They were half-siblings, just like Jordan and Jamie.
Jordan was furious. When he first met Clarice, he disliked her and felt that she was a snob for treating him harshly just because she thought he was a chauffeur.
Now that Clarice knew Jordan was a descendant of the Steeles, and still dared to insult him, Jordan couldn’t tolerate it at all.
Jordan snapped at Clarice, “Who are you calling a rapist?”
Clarice smiled fearlessly and retorted, “You. What’s wrong?”
The Howards had long gathered their bodyguards, so they weren’t afraid that Jordan would get physical with them at all.
Jordan didn’t intend to hit them either. Instead, he said with a smile, “No wonder you’re always stealing glances at me. It seems that you’ve got a very special taste. Clarice Howard, stop secretly having a crush on me. You’re ugly and your figure isn’t great.. I won’t be bothered to touch you even if you cover your face.”
