My Wasted Husband Is in Power, Now! novel Chapter 346

Martin said, "As far as I know, Jamie and Jordan are only half-brothers who share the same father. Their relationship is like that of Brad and Alex."

"As you know, Brad and Alex get into conflicts all the time. So, Jordan and Jamie Steele probably don't get along well either."

The young man nodded. He may not be clear about the situation in the Steele family, but he was well aware of the relationship between Brad and Alex.

Not only did Brad and Alex often get into conflicts, even Lauren and Clarice were often arguing with each other.

The young man said, "Is it for the sake of the inheritance? He shouldn't have to go to the extent of killing Jordan, right?"

Martin shook his head and said, "I guess it's not as simple as vying for the inheritance. For families like ours and the Steeles, kids don't entirely have to kill each other for the sake of getting a larger share of the inheritance at all. Well because, the money families like ours have, is enough for the descendants to live a carefree life for the rest of their lives."

"Even if they take all the assets, it will be pointless."

"It might be because of the Steeles' secret. I'm guessing that Jamie has already found out about their family secret, so he decided to take action sooner and get rid of Jordan."

The young man thought about it carefully and said, "Jamie and Jordan seem to have an elder brother, right?"

At the mention of their elder brother, Martin frowned and said, "Their elder brother is too mysterious. I can't even find out what he looks like now. I'm guessing that he's an upright and reliable kid who doesn't like causing trouble."

"Louis, continue sending more people to search all over DC. You must find Jamie Steele!"

"Yes!"

"Also, I've had enough of that little beast's threats with his UFO-shaped aircraft. Send the most professional reconnaissance team to find his UFO-shaped aircraft and destroy it! Arrest the person controlling the UFO-shaped aircraft, too!"

"Yes!"

"Okay, go ahead with your matters."

The young man came out of the study and saw Lauren, who looked rather crestfallen. "Miss Howard."

Lauren nodded quietly and entered the study.

"Grandpa..."

Lauren walked in and Martin saw the tear stains on her face. He asked, "What's wrong?"

Lauren said, "Grandpa, I'm willing to accept the marriage you've arranged for me."

Instantly surprised to hear that, Martin asked, "What did you say?"

In the past few years, Lauren had been stubbornly opposing against her family and refusing to accept the marriages that they arranged for her.

'Did the sun rise from the West today? She's actually willing to accept the arranged marriage?'

With a sorrowful expression, Lauren said morosely, "I'm willing to marry whoever you want me to marry."

Martin asked in puzzlement, "What has gotten into you? Didn't you accompany Jordan to search for Victoria today? Is it because of Jordan?"

Lauren lowered her head, still feeling aggrieved when she recalled what Jordan said to her just now.

"I don't want him to think that I'd resort to unscrupulous means to marry him. Please, marry me off!" Lauren said aggrievedly.

Martin said in great surprise, "You refused to get married the past few years, no matter how we tried to convince you. Yet, you've now decided to marry someone else so that Jordan wouldn't misunderstand you?"

"Lauren, it seems that you really like that punk!"

Martin initially thought that Lauren wouldn't develop any feelings for Jordan and at would at most think that he was a scion of a mysterious family.

However, at this moment, Martin realized that his granddaughter had developed real feelings for Jordan, a man who had hurt her before.

"The damned Steele family! How are the Howards inferior to you in any way? Lauren is such a rare gem, and she deserves the world and more!"

"Yet, you don't even like her, huh, Jordan Steele?!"

Martin felt extremely unjust to Lauren.

On the other hand, Lauren felt extremely aggrieved, as she couldn't help but tear up again. "Grandpa, please don't go on."
