Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Damn it Russell! How dare you kiss Victoria? I’m going to smash all your teeth!”

Jordan, who was on the top floor of the Intercontinental Hotel, had gotten so furious that he sprung up immediately.

Fortunately, he had installed a listening device. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have known that something like that had happened at a certain time!

However, on second thought, Jordan realized that even though Russell and Victoria had already agreed to get married and even settled on a date, Russell still had to ask for permission to kiss Victoria.

That just goes to show that Russell had never kissed Victoria before.

Jordan felt much better when he thought about it.

Jordan’s heart was racing and while he looked forward to hearing Victoria’s answer, he was afraid of hearing it too!

Jordan knew how to read micro-expressions, through which he could tell what others were thinking.

However, Jordan could now only hear their voices, and he couldn’t see Victoria’s expression at all. Hence, he was really anxious!

Victoria said slowly, “I’m sorry, Russell, I… I can’t do it.”

Jordan’s tensed up nerves suddenly relaxed.

Indeed, Victoria was still the same Victoria that he knew, who wouldn’t behave intimately with other men easily.

Russell was gentlemanly enough not to force Victoria, so he heaved a long sigh of relief.

“I know you don’t love me anymore and you’re marrying me only because you want to force Jordan to leave you.”

Hearing this, Jordan was completely stunned.

“Victoria is getting married to Russell to force me to leave her? But… why? Why did he do that?”

The listening device was indeed very useful, for it allowed him to find out the true thoughts of Victoria and Russell so soon!

Victoria did not like Russell at all and didn’t actually want to marry him.

She married Russell only for the sake of breaking up with Jordan!

Breaking up with Jordan was her true agenda!

“What exactly did I do that was so heinous that she insisted on breaking up with me?”

Jordan couldn’t figure it out at all.

Russell’s voice came out of the earphones again and said, “But Victoria, since you chose to marry me, it’d be a great insult and torment to me if you refuse to be mine. This is very unfair to me.”

Russell pretended to be aggrieved.

Jordan had experienced the same thing before.

He had been married to Hailey for three years, and Hailey had never let him get intimate with her. Life had been frustrating and quite the torment for him.

However, Jordan couldn’t sympathize with Russell at the moment.

To his surprise, Victoria said slowly, “Russell, I’m very grateful to you for having helped me so much. After our wedding and I really become your wife, I… won’t turn you down again.”

Russell was overjoyed and surprised. “Really? Great, I’ll wait another three days. Once our wedding is over, I’ll be able to have you again!”

Victoria bit her lips and stayed silent.

“Victoria, I won’t disturb your rest, then. I’ll take my leave now.”

Russell got up and left.

At this moment, Jordan was filled with agony after hearing Victoria’s answer.

Although Victoria had rejected Russell, she would stop rejecting him once they got married.

Victoria used to love having that signature pudding for breakfast when she was a child and she hadn’t eaten it for a long time.

“Thank you.”

Victoria tasted it and said, “It still tastes the same.”

Russell smiled and said, “Apart from bringing you breakfast, there is another reason I’m here. I mentioned to you that the Howards have helped me a lot in the past few years and they’re also a powerful family in the country.”

“I’ve sent an invitation to the Howards, and I just received a call from them. Lauren and Brad Howard are here in Houston today and they want to invite us to a meal.”

Lauren Howard!

Jordan and Victoria both froze in shock when they heard Lauren’s name.

Jordan had told Victoria that the mother of his three-year-old daughter, whom he had just reunited with, was Lauren Howard!

“What’s wrong? Victoria, do you know them?” Russell could tell that Victoria was surprised.

Victoria shook her head and said, “I don’t know them, but I heard Jordan mention before that Lauren Howard is the mother of his three-year-old daughter. Some time ago, Jordan has also been accompanying Lauren and his daughter.”

Russell came to a sudden realization and said, “I was wondering why these two young ones have come to Houston two days in advance. He even specifically said that he wants to invite me and you two to a meal.”

“The Howards are really powerful, so I thought that they’d just send a third-generation descendant of theirs to patronize me, but I never thought they would arrive in advance.”

“Victoria, it seems that their intention is to treat you to a meal and not me. It’s you they’ve come for. So, are you willing to meet Lauren?”

Victoria suddenly recalled that when Jordan apologized to her previously, he did say, “Lauren may be very outstanding but…”

Victoria immediately agreed, “Yes, I’ll go meet her!”
