In the luxurious presidential suite on the top floor of the Intercontinental Hotel in Houston, Jordan, who had been eavesdropping with his AKG headphones, could not hear the loud sounds of a downpour outside the window.
However, at this moment, he felt like there was a thunderstorm roaring in his heart!
At this moment, Jordan finally knew the truth of this matter!
It turned out that Victoria decided to break up with Jordan after finding out who her fatherâs murderer was!
âWho killed Victoriaâs father?â
At this moment, in the Mercedes Benz on the expressway.
Russell let Victoria hit him and took the initiative to take the blame. âYouâre right, Victoria, itâs all my fault. I shouldnât have told you about these, and I shouldnât have disrupted your stable life.â
âSince you love Jordan so much, you can pretend that you didnât hear what I said and that you never came to Houston!â
âYour father is my best friend. Iâll avenge him on my own. Stay out of this and take it that nothing has happened before. Go look for Jordan!â
Russell sounded loyal and righteous, but Jordan knew he must have deliberately said that only because he knew Victoriaâs character well.
Jordan understood Victoria well enough and knew that she wasnât the type of person who would choose to avoid reality for a peaceful life, and put aside the matter of her fatherâs murder.
âAll this shrewd old man, Russell, does is coax and deceive women!â
Indeed, Victoria stopped hitting Russell and cried, âNo, I wonât go back to Jordan. Itâs over between us. Iâll take revenge on my father myself. Iâll kill that bastard on my own, even if it might cost my life!â
Hearing this, Jordan was astonished.
Victoria was actually ready to die with that murderer!
âSilly honey, why do you want to risk your own life? The Steeles have forces all over the world. Why donât you just tell me who it is and Iâll help you deal with him?â
âVictoria must be worried about implicating me. Maybe that person has an impressive status, maybe heâs very difficult to deal withâŚâ
Jordan continued to listen for a while and discovered that Victoriaâs crying had gradually ceased and she stopped speaking too.
At this moment, Jordan had already removed his earphones. He was now aware of the reason that Victoria left him.
Now, he just needed to find out who the murderer is!
âPablo, Salvatore!â
Jordan called the two of them over and exclaimed, âBring Russell here to me immediately!â
âYes!â
While the two went to nab Russell, Jordan called Emily.
âEmily.â
âWhatâs the matter, Jordan?â
âDid your sister ever mention to you who the murderer of your father was?â
âNo, my sister and Uncle Russell have been investigating for years, but they havenât found out who the murderer is. Why are you suddenly asking about this?â
Jordan didnât answer and instead continued to ask, âIn that case, do you know the specific time and specific location where your father was murdered?â
After some thought, Emily answered, âMy father passed away 11 years ago in France, but I canât remember the specific place and time. Why are you asking? Did my sister tell you something?â
Jordan realized that both Victoria and Russell had not told Emily about the fact that they had found out who the murderer was.
Reason being Victoria always wanted Emily to grow up happily and lead a simple life without any troubles.
Emily had long treated Jordan as his brother-in-law and family member. Jordan didnât want Victoriaâs efforts to go down the drain either.
Hence, Jordan said, âOh, no, I just suddenly recalled it and decided to ask you about it. Okay, thereâs nothing else. Iâm hanging up now.â
âWait a minute.â
Emily suddenly called Jordan and exclaimed in bewilderment, âThat doesnât seem right. Did you specifically call to ask about this matter because you want to go to France to find the person who murdered my father!?â
âIt must be so! Now that Victoriaâs getting married, you must be thinking of finding the real murderer of my father, and then take revenge for us so that you can use that in exchange for Victoriaâs hand in marriage, right?â
Jordan didnât know what to say for a while. He didnât expect Emily to have imagined such a plot.
Before Jordan replied, Vicky frantically said, âI want to go too, I want to go too! Iâve always wanted to know more about my father, but Victoria has never told me much. Iâm his daughter too and I also have the right to do something for him, so why has she been keeping it from me?â
âJordan, how about I accompany you to France?â
Of course, Jordan could not agree. âIâm not thinking of going to France. Besides, the rain is too heavy for the plane to take off and I canât go to France either. Youâre thinking too much.â
Emily humphed coldly and said, âJordan, Iâm a flight attendant and I go on flights every day. The rain doesnât affect flights, okay? Besides, you have a private jet!â
Jordan still did not agree. âIâm really not going to France. Iâm hanging up now.â
Despite saying that he wasnât going to France, Jordan had already prepared his luggage and made a call to arrange for some people to receive him in France.
Soon, Pablo returned and reported, âIâm sorry, Mr. Jordan, weâre too incompetent. Russell and Miss Victoria have returned to Houston Bay 1, and we canât get in at all!â
âIt must be Russellâs doing again. Non-owners are prohibited from entering, huh?â Jordan humphed coldly and continued, âIâm going to buy a house there and see if theyâll let me in!â
Seemingly put in a tough spot, Pablo said, âIâve already asked. Theyâre not going to sell it.â
âHouston Bay 1 is the best residential estate in the city, and I heard that many of the top real estate magnates in the country have decided to move to Houston Bay 1.â
âThe eligibility criteria for the purchase of a house there is that you have to be the president of a listed company.â
âBut they declined even after we mentioned your name!â
Needless to say, this must have been arranged long ago by Russell too, all for the sake of preventing Jordan from getting close to him.
As the place where the countryâs top tycoons gathered, the security measures must also be the tightest in Houston Bay 1.
If Russell refuses to come out, Jordan probably wouldnât be able to nab him at all. Even if he comes out, heâd definitely bring lots of bodyguards with him, given how conscientious he was.
Even if he was caught, Russell may not tell Jordan who murdered Victoriaâs father.
âPablo, keep an eye on things in Houston.Iâll have Salvatore accompany me on a trip to France.â
âFrance? Miss Victoria is getting married in a couple of days, donât be late for her wedding.â
âYes, I know what to do.â
A trip to France would take at least ten hours, and it would take a day of traveling for a round trip.
Jordan must find out the truth of the matter within a day!â
So, Jordan rushed to the airport without stopping and walked into his private jet with an umbrella.
Salvatore and others trailed behind.
Just as Salvatore was holding the umbrella and walking up the gangway, suddenly, a long-legged beauty clad in a flight attendant uniform walked over.
âSir, Sir, are you going to France? Do you need a flight attendant to serve you? Iâm heading to France too. Give me a lift and I can serve you for free!â
