My Wasted Husband Is in Power, Now! novel Chapter 345

Lauren's body stiffened, and she looked at Jordan with a dumbfounded expression. "An act? What do you mean by that?"

Jordan humphed coldly and asked, "What do I mean? Trust you to have the cheek to ask me what I mean."

"You knew since a long time ago that Victoria got abducted by the Howards and her current whereabouts. Otherwise, how can you be certain that she's completely fine and how do you know so much about her?"

"Victoria was abducted by the Howards!"

Lauren looked at Jordan with an innocent expression on her face. "Jordan, trust me, I really don't know where Victoria is, and I don't know if she was abducted by my family or not, but I believe m grandfather and brother won't lie to me."

"Believe you? Why should I believe you when you're a Howard?" Jordan snapped hostilely.

Lauren's beauty was way too perfect, and she was completely flawless, just like Hailey.

Most of the gorgeous women whom Jordan knew were liars, so he somewhat assumed that Lauren was one too.

He thought Lauren was just better at hiding it.

Lauren defended herself and in a moment of panic, she grabbed Jordan's sleeve and said, "Jordan, I know you're very worried about Victoria but I really don't know where she is now. Why would I lie to you?"

Jordan shook Lauren off and said, "Why? Well, because you want to marry me and be the daughter-in-law of the Steeles! The Howards have always coveted our family's international connections, and once you marry me, the Howards will be invincible locally and abroad!"

Lauren was feeling really awkward, and of course, she wouldn't admit to it. "I don't want to marry you..."

Jordan said coldly, "You should know best whether you want to or not! Lauren Howard, I can tell you clearly today that Victoria Clarke is the only person I will marry, so don't even think about becoming my woman! I won't consider letting you be my mistress either!"

Lauren immediately looked ashamed when she heard those words, which were the most humiliating thing she had ever heard in her life!

She was the most beautiful woman in DC who had countless suitors. Yet, Jordan was lashing out at her and telling her he wouldn't even consider making her his mistress!

Lauren was really hurt by Jordan.

However, she was still very prideful, so she continued to deny, "Jordan Steele, I don't fancy you either. You hurt me four years ago. Why would I fall in love with a man who raped me?"

Jordan might have been fooled by her words a month ago.

However, some time ago, he had clearly heard Lauren telling Victoria that she was in love with him.

Hence, Jordan was even more certain that Lauren was now lying!

Jordan was even more certain that Lauren was the one who abducted Victoria.

Jordan said, "How would I know? Many women like being submissive in bed. Maybe you're one of them."

In a moment of anxiousness and eagerness to find Victoria, Jordan began to be unrestrained with his words.

Smack!

Upon hearing his words, Lauren could no longer hold herself back. She raised her arm and gave Jordan a tight slap on his face!

At the same time, Lauren immediately burst into tears aggrievedly.

When the tears appeared on Lauren's delicate face, they seemed to glisten like diamonds.

The teary-eyed Lauren looked really pitiful, and her eyes seemed to be able to talk. Jordan had never seen such a pretty pair of eyes before!

Lauren cried and said, "Jordan, you can't insult me like that! After I came out of that tiny dark room and returned to the US four years ago, I slipped into depression for several months and lost a lot of weight. I weighed only about 40 kilograms then. I'm not as cheap as you made me out to be!"

"Jordan, you've really hurt me with those words! I hate you!"
