Victoria looked at Jordan and asked, âJordan, where is my father?â
Jordan shook his head because he only knew that Norman was dead, but he was clueless about his exact whereabouts.
Commissioner Louis, who also knew Norman Clarke, asked in puzzlement, âWhy is everyone so sure that Norman Clarke is still alive?â
Russell pointed to Jordan and said, âHe has a photo of Norman that was taken recently.â
Commissioner Louis looked at Jordan and asked, âCan you show me the photo?â
Jordan nodded and showed Commissioner Louis the photo, after which Commissioner Louis nodded.
âIndeed, itâs Mr. Norman Clarke. He was in his forties 11 years ago, so he must be in his fifties now.â
âMr. Steele, how did you get this photo?â
Of course, Jordan couldnât expose his brother Jesse, so he said, âI went to France to investigate on the murderer of Victoriaâs father and offered a reward of 5 million francs to collect some clues so someone gave this to me.â
His explanation was reasonable, too. Besides, they just had to do a slight check to know that Jordan had indeed offered a reward of 5 million francs in Paris to get some clues.
At this moment, Russell said, âCommissioner Louis, Iâve also been investigating the matter of the death of Norman Clarke. I happen to also have a photo of Norman with the suspected murderer on the day of his death, and that suspect is Jordanâs father, Rowan Steele!â
âWhereâs the photo?â Commissioner Louis asked.
Russell said, âAt home. Iâll send someone to retrieve it immediately.â
Commissioner Louis looked at Victoria and said, âMr. Dalton, Mr. Steele, please make a trip back to the police station with me and assist us in the investigation of the case of Mr. Norman Clarke.â
Afterwards, Commissioner Louis looked at Victoria and asked, âYou must be Mr. Norman Clarkeâs daughter, right? Come with us too.
âSure.â
The three of them didnât refute.
âIâm Normanâs daughter too. Iâll come with you!â
Emily, who was at the side, also walked over.
Commissioner Louis nodded and said, âPlease come with us then.â
After saying that, Commissioner Louis turned around and left while instructing the other police officers, âTake these troublemakers away!â
âYes!â
After Jordan, Russell, Victoria and other main characters left, the lively wedding officially ended too.
The guests also left the table and returned to their respective seats.
Brad said, âGrandpa, Jordan didnât do anything, and he doesnât have a criminal record either. He hasnât committed any crimes in the US.â
âHeâll probably pretend not to know anything about Norman, and I reckon heâll be released soon.â
âThis punk really doesnât know any better. Heâs gotten back together with Victoria Clarke, completely disregarding Lauren. I have to teach him a lesson!â
Martin said indifferently with a sullen expression, âDonât worry, Jordan canât get away with it so easily this time. Even if he leaves the police station unscathed, Iâll make sure he loses a layer of skin!â
âHe wants to leave irresponsibly after bullying my granddaughter. Hmph, he must be dreaming!â
After saying that, Martin strode and left, too.
When the Howards reached the door, they saw Hailey had long since arrived.
Hailey stood in place, looking like an inexperienced young lady.
She thought she would be pretty enough to attract Martinâs attention.
However, the Howards simply walked away without even looking at her at all.
âAh.â
When Hailey brushed shoulders with Brad as they walked past, Hailey reached out her slender finger to hook Bradâs hand.
Brad stopped in his tracks and looked at Hailey, who was looking at him devotedly. I have something to say to you.â
Brad looked rather annoyed, and he immediately said to Martin, âGrandpa, you guys head home first. Iâll make a trip to the washroom.â
After his family left, Brad said in annoyance, âWhatâs going on?â
Hailey asked with a smile, âWas that your grandfather?â
When Brad went to Jordanâs villa to hook up with Hailey previously, he showed her some photos of his grandfather with many big shots, which left Hailey in awe and admiration.
âYeah, whatâs the matter?â Brad questioned coldly.
Hailey said with a sweet smile, âWhy donât you introduce me to your grandfather?â
Brad said nonchalantly, âIntroduce you to him? Are you even worthy?â
The Camdens were now in decline. Even during their peak some time ago, they were still inferior to the Howards.
Hailey bit her lips, feeling displeased about being chastised by him. âYou said you would give me 150 million dollars, so you should fulfill your promise and give me the money now.â
At the end of the day, Hailey was just trying to ask Brad for money.
It wasnât like Hailey to not ask for money.
Brad laughed and said, âI said that Iâd give you 150 million dollars if you gave birth to a boy, but I now know that you gave me a daughter, and Jordan a son.â
âI donât like girls, so I donât want that daughter of mine. You can keep her yourself!â
Brad was about to leave as he said that, but Hailey quickly grabbed her and asked, âHow can you be so cruel? Sheâs your flesh and blood. Having a daughter is so nice, sheâll always be Daddyâs girl.â
âDo you know how much Jordan wants that daughter to be his? Yet, you donât even cherish her!â
âI donât care. I gave you a daughter, so even if you wonât give me 150 million dollars, you have to give me 75 million dollars!â
âAs long as you give me 75 million dollars, you can stay out of all matters regarding our daughter. Iâll raise her on my own.â
Brad gave it some thought and felt that 75 million dollars wasnât considered much to him.
Looking at Haileyâs beautiful face, Brad couldnât help but reach his hand out and place it on her delicate face.
âYouâre so beautiful. Our daughterâs definitely going to be as pretty as you. Fine, Iâll give you.ââ
Hailey was surprised and overjoyed. âTransfer the money to me immediately, then!â
Brad sized Hailey up with a sinister smile and said, âHailey, youâve really shed the pregnancy weight and you look just like a young woman who hasnât had a baby yet. Tsk, tsk, tskâŚâ
âHow about this? You accompany me to the hotel, serve me well and Iâll transfer the money to you. How does that sound?â
Hailey began to hesitate. She had come over this time with the main purpose of making Jordan stay.
However, now that Jordan and Victoria were together again, she no longer stood a chance.
Hence, Hailey nodded and said, âOkay, Iâll accompany you.â
Brad immediately kissed Hailey and said, âLetâs go then, baby!â
Hailey turned around and shot Drew a glance. âDrew, keep this a secret for me and make sure not to tell Jordan. Donât forget that Iâm the richest person in the family now!â
Drew gritted his teeth indignantly and had no choice but to agree.
However, Brad seemed to intentionally want Jordan to find out, so he deliberately checked into a room in the Intercontinental Hotel where Jordan was staying.
In the luxurious suite, the svelte Hailey was laying in Bradâs arms and asking, âHoney, I heard your grandfather mention at the wedding that Jordanâs father imprisoned someone or something. Does your grandfather loathe Jordan? Is your family going to go against the Steeles?â
Brad laughed and said, âYes, Jordan has completely angered my grandfather by choosing to reconcile with Victoria Clarke. Itâs over for him!â
