Chapter 499 - Stefan’s Affair!
The Abandoned Husband Dominates
Over one night, Marissa had gone from extreme joy to extreme fear. Now that she was finally saved, she was so emotional that she couldnât stop crying.
After getting rid of the gangsters, Chimera walked to Marissa and asked, âYouâre Mr. Jordanâs mother-in-law, right?â Marissaâs hands and feet were tied, so she could not wipe her tears. She nodded repeatedly. âYes, Iâm Jordanâs mother-in-law, Marissa. Thank you for saving us.â
Chimera smiled and took out a dagger. He cut the ropes on Marissaâs body and handed her a packet of tissue to wipe her tears. He then untied the other ladies.
They all thanked Chimera profusely.
These middle-aged women rarely met a man as tall as Chimera. They were also very impressed by his skills just now.
Marissa asked Chimera, âMister, what is your name?â
Chimera answered respectfully, âI am called Chimera. Iâm Mr. Jesseâs subordinate. Iâm here on his orders to save you.â
âJesse?â
Marissa was stunned. Why was it Jordanâs brother, Jesse? Why wasnât it Jordan who saved her?
âDamn you, Jordan. How dare you not send someone to save me? I thought this tall and mighty man was Jordanâs subordinate!â Marissa had been very grateful to Jordan earlier. But now, her gratitude had vanished in an instant.
âIâll take you all out of here,â Chimera continued.
Chimera drove them back to downtown London.
Marissaâs friends were all frightened. They didnât dare to stay in England anymore. They hurriedly bought plane tickets and went straight to the airport.
Meanwhile, Chimera drove Marissa to Steele Castle.
Jordan, Lauren and Jesse were waiting in the living room. It was six in the morning when Marissa finally arrived at Steele Castle.
âSir, I have completed the rescue mission!â
Chimera walked over and reported to Jesse.
âMom!â
When Lauren saw Marissa following behind Chimera, she immediately ran over excitedly. Mother and daughter were so emotional that tears flowed freely. It was clear they both had a great fright.
Jordan walked over and asked in concern, âMom, are you alright?â
When she saw Jordan, Marissa rolled her eyes in contempt!
âHmph!â
Ignoring him, she walked towards Jesse first and smiled at him. âHello, Jesse. We meet again. Do you still remember me?â
Jesse smiled. âOf course. Youâre Jordanâs mother-in-law. We met at Jordanâs wedding previously. Youâre so beautiful, how could I forget?â Marissa returned his smile. âJesse, is Chimera your subordinate? Thank you so much for sending your man to such a dangerous place to save us. When I saw Chimera barging in alone to deal with so many people, I was really worried for him.â
Jesse laughed. âAunty, donât worry. This is just a small matter. Dealing with those criminals is nothing to Chimera. When I gave this mission to him, I especially instructed him not to let Aunty get hurt at all. I wonder if he managed it successfully? Were you injured at all?â
Marissa hurriedly waved her hands. âNo, no! Those kidnappers didnât even have the time to make a move on us. Chimera finished them off in just a few seconds! Heâs too amazing!
âItâs all thanks to you that I was saved. Lauren, come over quickly and thank your brother-in-law!â
Jesseâs subordinate had saved them, so the credit naturally had to be given to him.
As a result, Jordan had become completely invisible. If Jordan had sent Dragon, he would have also been able to save Marissa!
Lauren walked over and thanked Jesse. âThank you, Jesse. Thank you, Chimera.â
Jesse hurriedly said, âMrs. Howard, Lauren, youâre treating me like an outsider. Jordan and I are brothers. His family is my family. As his elder brother, I wonât shirk my duty. By the way, Mrs. Howard, you had a major scare earlier. Iâve already asked the servants to prepare a rose bath for you. You can take a bath first to relax.â
Marissa was delighted. âLook at how considerate Jesse is. He even prepared a rose bath for me. Thank you so much. But I want to see Laurenâs father first. Isnât he here too? Where is he now?â
Jesse said, âOh, heâs probably still asleep. We didnât want him to worry, so we didnât wake him to tell him about your kidnapping. Iâll bring you to him.â
âThank you.â
Marissa followed Jesse and arrived at Stefanâs room. After knocking several times on the door, there was no response from the inside.
âIs Dad not in the room?â Lauren asked curiously.
Jesse called the servants over and asked, âIs Mr. Howard in the room?â
âHe went to Ms. Steeleâs room,â the maid answered.
âMs. Steele?â
Everyone was stunned.
Jordanâs sisters were not home. There were no Ms. Steeles in Steele Castle now.
âHe probably went to Auntâs room.â Jordan thought in his mind. He could tell that Stefan liked his aunt. In fact, he specially came to England for Jordanâs aunt! Jesse was also puzzled. âCould he have gone to Auntâs room?â
Marissa immediately became very agitated. She grabbed Jesseâs arm and said, âJesse, bring me to your auntâs room. That b*stard, Stefan, must be there! I was curious as to why he insisted on coming to England? Itâs because of a woman! He hasnât given up on Ms. Steele!â
Marissa knew about Stefan and Jordanâs auntâs story. She knew that the woman whom Stefan liked the most back then was Jordanâs aunt, not Marissa.
âUhâ¦â
Jesse was in a dilemma.
Marissa grabbed Jesseâs hand. She said in an agitated manner, âPlease, bring me over. I promise I wonât cause trouble. I just want to see if that b*stard, Stefan, really did such a shameless thing!â Lauren quickly defended her father. âMom, itâs not like that. Dad might have gone looking for Aunt for some innocent reason.â
âAlright, letâs go take a look then.â
Jesse led the way and arrived at his auntâs floor. Just as he approached, he saw his aunt and Stefan walking out of the room.
They were holding hands like a couple, their faces brimming with happiness. When Marissa saw her husband holding hands with another woman, she broke down on the spot!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Stefan was so startled when he saw Marissa that he quickly let go of the auntâs hand. âMa⦠Marissa, why are you here?â.
