The Abandoned Husband Dominates
There was no one Fanny hated more than Jordan for saying that he was very influential in England. If Jordan was just an ordinary rich second-generation heir from any other country apart from England, Fanny would not have targeted him like this!
Fanny had always been jealous of Lauren. The only thing Fanny could feel superior to Lauren about was that she found a rich husband from England!
Therefore, whenever the girls had any issue regarding England, they would look for Fanny because she was the most powerful here and could help them. Therefore, she didnât want to believe that Laurenâs husband was also powerful in England!
However, reality had proven that she should not have doubted or provoked Jordan!
Zara nudged Fanny and whispered, âFanny, donât be so shameless. Apologize to Jordan. Weâre all Laurenâs close friends, and weâve always had a good friendship. Letâs not fall out.â
Having no other choice, Fanny bit her tongue and walked over to Jordan. She lowered her head and said, âJordan, Iâm sorry. I shouldnât have doubted you. I apologize.â
Jordan had previously asked Fanny to slap herself.
Raising her hand, Fanny slapped her own exquisite face.
Jordan scoffed and asked, âDo you believe that Lauren is the Queen of English Bars now?â
Fanny nodded. âYes, I believe you. I believe that all the bars in England belong to you guys. You are too amazing. I was ignorant.â But Jordan insisted. âNo, you still donât believe me! Weâve only seen two bars. How can you believe me like this? How much can it cost to buy just two bars? Isnât that right? Come, letâs continue this trip!â
Jordanâs domineering tone shocked the girls.
Hmph, Fanny had such deep doubts about him earlier, and now, she was so readily claiming that she believed him? There was no turning back now, he would make her believe him all the way!
Since he made so many bars put the letters âLHâ on their front signs within an hour, he wanted her to witness them all!
âHoney, get in the carriage.â
Jordan held Laurenâs hand and led her back to the carriage.
When Lauren saw Fannyâs embarrassed expression, she said to Jordan, âHubby, Fanny is just a little vain. Actually, sheâs not a bad person. Besides, she should believe you now.â
âYou donât have to plead for her. She wonât change unless you teach her a good lesson. Besides, this is your first day in England. I want you to tour your businesses and inspect them.â
Just like that, Jordan brought Lauren to the third, fourth⦠and tenth bar. Every bar had the letters âLHâ on its front signs. This meant that the owner of the bar was Lauren!
At the entrance of the tenth bar, Jordan asked Fanny and the rest again, âNow, do you believe that I was not making empty claims? Do you still think Iâm some pushover? Yes, Iâm not like your typical husband. I didnât buy a house or a car for Lauren, and I didnât pay a single cent for the betrothal gift when we got married. You must think Iâm a useless man because in your eyes, only a lowly man wouldnât buy a house and a car for his wife, or prepare a betrothal gift.
âIâm telling you, there is a whole world out there with many sophisticated and cultured people. Your trashy values and standards only apply to your own low-class circles. There are some people in this world whom you will never even begin to comprehend, much less have the right to judge!â
Jordan had already brought Lauren to ten bars. By now, he was a little tired and did not want to continue the trip just to prove to these three women. Therefore, he lectured them.
Fanny, Zara and Beatrice stood there in a docile manner.
âIâm sorry, Jordan. We were wrong. We wonât behave like this again.â
âThank you for the lesson, Jordan. We will definitely remember what you said.â
âJordan, youâre right. Weâre not on the same level as you. Youâre much more sophisticated than us.â
The three of them listened to Jordanâs reprimand obediently. However, he did not feel appeased at all! He knew that if he was poor, if he had not prepared this golden carriage today⦠Those three women would never agree with him!
Jordan did not wish to continue talking to them. âLauren and I are going back. Donât follow us.â
At that moment, Zara said, âJordan, Lauren, weâll be staying in England for a few days. If you have time, can you have a meal with us?â
Lauren didnât want to cut off their friendship because of what happened today. She said, âIâll check my schedule. Iâll come out to find you girls if I have time.â
âOkay, okay. See you, Lauren.â
âBye, Jordan. Bye Lauren!â
It was one in the morning in the US.
Inside the Howard family mansion.
Hailey had just finished satisfying Brad when she heard movement downstairs. It was the middle of the night but a few rich socialites close to Marissa had suddenly come to visit her.
Hailey changed into a more stylish outfit and put on some makeup. Brad looked at her as she bent over to apply her lipstick, and he said with a satisfied smile, âYouâre really a top-notch woman. No wonder Jordan loved you so much in the past. To be honest, Iâm a little in love with you now!â
Hailey was very happy. âReally? Then marry me, okay?â
Hailey put down her lipstick and sashayed over to Brad. She shook his arm and acted coquettishly.
Brad laughed. âMarry you? Hailey, what are you thinking? How can you be my wife? Your bankrupt family is not compatible with our Howard family. However, youâre fine as a mistress.â
The words made Hailey very unhappy. She was not willing to be a mistress!
âBy the way, you put on makeup and changed your clothes. Where are you going?â Brad asked.
Hailey replied, âA few of your motherâs friends have come. Iâm going to make soup for them.â
Brad knew that Hailey had been trying to curry favor with his mother so that she could accept her as her daughter-in-law. However, Brad was a little puzzled. âItâs already one in the morning. Are these old women crazy? Visiting my mother in the middle of the night?â
Hailey also found it strange. She didnât know why they were here in the middle of the night.
She went to the kitchen and made a simple vegetable soup, which she personally brought to the living room on the first floor.
As Hailey walked toward Marissa, she said, âAunty, I saw that you have some friends over and specially made a nourishing soup for you all. Aunty, ladies, please have some.â
The three middle-aged women beside Marissa looked at her and they all praised her.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMarissa, this girl is so beautiful and virtuous. Is she Bradâs girlfriend?â
âNot bad. Will we be attending your wedding
soon?â
Hailey felt shy at their praises. âAunties, you are too kind. I donât know if I have the honor to be Aunty Marissaâs daughter-in-law. Oh, right. Aunties, it is already so late at night. Is there a special occasion tonight?â
One of the middle-aged women was holding her phone and asked, âYoung lady, donât you check social media? You donât know what happened?â
âSocial media?â
Hailey was confused. She immediately picked up her phone and opened her social media account.
