Chapter 497 - 7 Mother-in-law In Trouble!
The Abandoned Husband Dominates
Two of the most beautiful women in the entire US were standing inside this servantâs room. One was wearing a maidâs uniform, while the other was wearing an elegant red dress.
This was the first time these two beauties were interacting so closely. Beautiful people had their pride and rarely took the initiative to approach others.
âI can only accept Victoria as Jordanâs mistress. I wonât agree for it to be you! You betrayed Jordan when you were with him, and not only once. If you get together with him again, Iâm afraid youâll do the same thing and hurt him again.â
Hailey retorted, âIf it wasnât for your brother, who came to threaten me and slept with me to avenge you, would I have cheated on Jordan?! Youâre responsible for what I did to Jordan! I suspect that you asked your brother to do it so that I would end up having another manâs child. That was what made Jordan abandon me. Only then did you have a chance to take my place!â
Hearing Haileyâs accusations, Lauren hurriedly defended herself, âI didnât ask Brad to do that! Also, even without Brad, you cheated with Tyler and Cayden.â
Hailey argued, âI was just impulsive with Tyler! Moreover, Jordan forgave me when he found out. After we remarried, I didnât betray him! I didnât do anything with Cayden during our marriage!â
Lauren said, âYou know very well whether you did or not. Anyway, I wonât agree with you being Jordanâs mistress. When we find Victoria, you can discuss with her and see if sheâll let you be the second mistress.â
With that, Lauren turned to leave. She just wanted to establish a good relationship with Jordanâs son. She did not expect Hailey to make such an outrageous request. Hailey cried pitifully. âYou want me to be the second mistress? Why are you and Victoria treating me like this?! I was Jordanâs first wife! I should be the boss. You guys should be the mistresses!
âLauren, donât think that youâre very beautiful. Donât think that youâre very outstanding. Let me tell you, if I didnât cheat on Jordan, he wouldnât even give you a second look! You wouldnât have stood a chance!!â Hailey screamed hysterically at Laurenâs departing figure.
As Lauren was well brought up, she chose to leave and completely ignored Hailey.
Only a loser would create such a scene.
Four oâclock in the morning, at the casino. Marissa and her friends were still playing Punto Banco in high spirits. Many onlookers had gathered around them.
âWow, Marissa, you won again! Your luck today is too good!â
âMarissa, weâve been playing all night. Youâve won enough. Why donât we go back to our room to rest?â
Marissa had gambled from the afternoon until four in the morning. She had used a million pounds to win five million!
Five million pounds!
Marissa couldnât stop smiling. âHahahaha, I won five million pounds tonight. Iâm going to call my husband and tell him the good news.â
Marissa called Stefan, but he did not answer.
âCome on, itâs already four in the morning. Your husband is already asleep.â
Marissa snorted and happily went to exchange her chips for money.
After that, they left the casino happily.
However, the moment they stepped out, a few young men immediately rushed forward and pointed their guns at Marissa. âDonât move! Get in the car!â
Marissa immediately had a bad feeling. It was all her fault for being too ostentatious and refusing to leave after winning so much. Everyone in the casino knew that she had won a lot of money in one night.
This must have attracted the attention of some bad guys. They had come to rob her!
Marissa hurriedly said, âDonât shoot. If you want my money, I can give it to you.â The armed man said fiercely, âCut the crap. If you donât want to die, get in the car obediently!â âNo, no!â
The ladies were so frightened that they screamed and wailed. Marissa was terrified and exclaimed, âLet me tell you, weâre not ordinary tourists. Weâre very influential in England. Donât mess with us!â
The robber was amused. âOh? Are you connected to the mafia?â
Marissa said, âIâm connected to the Steele family! My son-in-law is Jordan Steele! Heâs the person who rode in the golden carriage yesterday!â
The robber was stunned for a moment. âSteele family? A golden carriage? It sounds like theyâre very rich. Very good. I can take you hostage and extort money from them!â
âHahaha, I love robbing tourists the most, haha.â
âBring them into the car!â
Half an hour later, Lauren, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly woken up by her phone.
Opening her eyes, she saw that it was her mother. In a daze, she picked up the call.
âMom, itâs already so late. Whatâs the matter? Donât tell me how much youâve won. Iâm not interested,â Lauren muttered groggily.
Meanwhile, Marissa was crying. âLauren, Iâve been kidnapped! Get Jordan to save me!â
âWhat?â
Lauren was jolted awake and immediately sat up. Likewise, Jordan was woken up by her movements.
Jordan patted her shoulder and asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
âMy mother has been kidnapped.â Laurenâs face was pale.
âPut your phone on speaker!â Jordan instructed.
It was no longer Marissaâs voice on the other end of the line, but a man. âHello?â Jordan replied, âWho are you?â The man continued. âYouâre Steele, right? I heard youâre the son-in-law of this lady? Haha, your silly mother-in-law threatened us, saying that youâre very influential here and asked us to let her go. Otherwise, youâll make us wish we were dead. She sure knows how to brag.â The Steele family was very private and preferred to stay under the radar. Even in England, few people knew about them. âWhat do you want?â Jordan asked calmly.
The most important thing now was to ensure his mother-in-lawâs safety. As long as he could bring her back safely, it would be easy to deal with these small-time criminals after.
The man replied, âI heard youâre very rich. Bring 10 million pounds here to redeem your mother-in-law!â
Jordan agreed immediately. âAlright, 10 million pounds is no problem. Whatâs the address?â
After learning the address, Jordan immediately got off the bed to change.
Lauren kept crying. What if something happened to her mother?
Seeing his wife so distressed, Jordan pulled her into his arms and comforted her, âLauren, donât be afraid. They must have targeted Mom because sheâs rich. As long as we give them the money, they will let her go. Iâll get Butler Frank to prepare the money now.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Lauren was a little ashamed. âIâm sorry, Hubby. You have to fork out so much money because of me.â
10 million pounds was not a small sum of money. A smile was on his face. âThey may get the money, but they wonât be alive to spend it.â
