Jordan barged into the Howards' courtyard alone!
His courage and bravery were far beyond what ordinary people could compare to!
When Martin saw Jordan entering, he first reprimanded Brad for being rude.
He then said to Jordan with a smile, "You're here. Brad is young and insensible, don't stoop to his level."
Jordan looked at Martin, straightened his back and said without being condescending at all, "Greetings, Mr.
Howard Sr. I heard that you and my grandfather are old friends and you've even helped him before."
"My girlfriend and I have prepared a little gift for you, Mr. Howard Sr., please accept it."
Martin nodded with a smile and said, "That's very thoughtful of you, Jordan. Have a seat."
A servant took the box of cigars from Jordan, who then sat beside Lauren near the door.
As soon as he sat down, another servant served him a cup of tea. "Sir, please have some tea."
Hearing the Howard's servant call him 'Sir', Jordan froze awkwardly and couldn't help but glance at Lauren.
The servants of the Howards would usually call the spouses of the female descendants 'Sir' so Jordan reckoned that they had probably perceived him as Lauren's husband.
After Jordan sat down, Martin laughed and said,
"Speaking of your grandfather, it's true that we knew each other decades ago. We were both running a business in New York City back then. I could tell since then that your grandfather has impeccable judgment and that he would have a promising future!"
"Speaking of which, at that time, I thought our descendants could get married so that he and I could become in-laws."
"Unfortunately, your grandfather didn't take a liking to my kids."
At this moment, Brad's father suddenly said, "Dad, why bring up the past!?!"
In the living room, a middle-aged woman who was donning expensive jewelry from head to toe, and whom Jordan had never met before, said with a look of displeasure, "Yeah, who wants to marry into the Steeles!? We didn't take a liking to them either!"
Jordan smiled coldly. He could easily tell that they were still holding grudges because they had been rejected by Jordan's grandfather back then.
It was no wonder that they'd be spiteful. Many people in the US wanted to marry the Howards.
'But you people aren't worthy of marrying the Steeles!'
Martin continued, "Haha, I didn't expect that even though my son couldn't marry someone from your family, my granddaughter amazingly got the chance to marry you."
"I have heard about you and Lauren, Jordan. You raped my granddaughter, and she gave birth to your daughter, but for the last four years, you have shown no concern
to my granddaughter and your daughter." "But I'm being nice enough to still be courteous to you today, right?"
Everyone knew the Howards were not to be trifled with, and even the esteemed Russell would have to be
deferential to Martin.
If Jordan wasn't a descendant of the Steeles and just a penniless man with nothing to his name, he definitely could not be sitting here and enjoying tea after raping Lauren.
He would have long been killed and had his corpse thrown into the sea!
Jordan said, "I'm indeed to blame for that incident and I've already sincerely apologized to Miss Howard for it."
"The Howards have also hurt me and your grandson, Brad, also raped my ex-wife, Hailey, when we were still married. Hailey also gave birth to Brad's daughter."
Jordan's words sparked a huge commotion.
Many of the elders, as well as Clarice, Lauren, all looked at Brad.
