A second ago, Old Mrs. Camden had just instigated Orlando's influential figures to ensure that Jordan will have no means of living in the future.
In the next second, she asked him to stay for lunch.
That made many people confused about her behavior.
However, Victoria could tell how intelligent Old Mrs. Camden's move was, and there was some admiration in her eyes.
Was it the carrot and stick?
It was obviously not that simple.
Old Mrs. Camden was just establishing her dominance, and she was cutting off Jordan's future path because he had beaten up her grandson.
She allowed Jordan to attend the birthday banquet because he was still the Camdens' son-in-law.
Since he was still her granddaughter's husband, he had to abide by the rules and stay at the banquet.
Jordan did not refute and simply sat together at the same table as Hailey, Drew, and the other grandchildren of Old Mrs. Camden.
There were definitely many luxurious private rooms in the hotel. Still, Old Mrs. Camden preferred the banquet to be lively and arranged for it to be in the grand hall.
Drew looked at Jordan, who was seated beside him and was incredibly furious.
"Jordan, this meal is the last meal you can have in Orlando. You'd better eat more while you can because you might not even be able to afford steamed buns in the future. Hahaha!"
Drew's younger sister, Elie, also chimed in, "Brother, you're exaggerating. How can he not even afford steamed buns? He can just become a beggar."
Drew guffawed loudly. "My sister is right. You can become a beggar. We'll allow you to become a beggar, hahaha."
Jordan had long gotten used to Drew's mockery and hence, didn't feel much at this moment.
However, Elie's sudden interjection made Jordan glance at her.
Elie was Jordan's cousin-in-law. Although she was not as pretty as Hailey, she was known for her fantastic figure in Orlando.
Due to the animosity between Hailey and Elie, Jordan seldom interacted with Elie.
Seeing that Jordan was silent after he mocked him, Drew picked up a glass of wine and walked towards Ryan seated beside him.
"Mr. Dunn, thank you so much for what you've done today. The scene of you making Jordan undress out there is too classic. It was as if you were disciplining a dog!"
Ryan smiled and clinked glasses with Drew. "Mr.
Camden, you're too polite. If I had known earlier, I would have asked you to take a video in advance. When you're bored, you can watch it and unwind a little."
"Hahaha, Mr. Dunn, you're right. We really should have recorded that scene."
Drew said while laughing loudly as if he was scared that Jordan would not hear him.
Jordan glanced at Ryan, who noticed him and then immediately snapped.
"What are you looking at!?! If you dare to apply for a job in my delivery company in the future, I'll break your legs!"
Jordan's eyes were full of murderous intent. He felt he had to get rid of Ryan immediately.
Jordan picked up the phone and called the butler of the Steele family, Butler Frank.
