It was completely silent in the living room and even Brad and Clarice, who were extremely talkative, kept their mouths shut and looked at Jordan with cold expressions.
In the face of the frosty reception, Jordan felt no need to make small talk with the Howards. He feigned composure and sipped on tea or rested his chin in his hand while tapping his fingers against his ear in a rhythmic fashion.
At this moment, Jordan was wearing Airpods and tapping his face regularly with his fingertips. Although he seemed to be fidgeting out of boredom, his taps were Morse codes!
He had just sent a message to Tim by tapping with his fingers, a Morse code that translated to: Prepare the UFO!
Judging from how the Howards were gathered together, Martin might make things difficult for him. Although Jordan thought he sent a message discreetly, Clyde walked up to Martin slowly and whispered something into his ear.
"Master, he just sent a message through Morse code, and asked his underlings to prepare the UFO."
Martin waved his hand in acknowledgment.
Jordan couldn't hear what Clyde said to Martin but he felt that Clyde wasn't a simple person.
Soon after, Lauren came down from upstairs in a new set of clothes. Since it was relatively warm indoors, she changed into a very elegant long winter dress. She did not wash her hair because it was too long and it would take her at least half an hour to blow dry her hair. But she couldn't make Jordan and the rest of her family wait for such a long time.
Her hair was still damp so it seemed she had used a moisturizing and hydrating styling spray.
Lauren was absolutely beautiful.
"Grandpa..."
Lauren glanced at Martin.
"Alright, take a seat," Martin said to Lauren.
Lauren sat next to Jordan, and he immediately felt a refreshing scent wafting up to his nose.
At this moment, Martin asked Jordan, "Jordan, can you tell us what you've done to Chris?"
What should happen has happened. Jordan had long been impatient so he answered truthfully, "Chris Hank is no longer a complete man!"
"Haha, good! You've got some nerve!" Brad burst into laughter.
However, Brad's mother, Marissa, flew into a rage and slapped the table furiously.
"Chris is our son-in-law and Lauren's newlywed husband. How dare you... even treat him like this! How can my daughter have a normal married life in the future!?"
Jordan was simply speechless. Was this woman delusional? Judging from the state of Lauren's clothes when she arrived and her unkempt hair, she had obviously been beaten up.
Despite being Lauren's mother, Marissa didn't show any concern about what she had suffered in the Hanks' home. Instead, she was more concerned about Chris's well-being and fantasized about letting Lauren and Chris live as husband and wife.
"What about Chris's father, Lawrence?"
Martin continued to ask with a calm expression.
Jordan said, "I didn't harm his father but my men found out the evidence of his violation of the law and his crimes have been exposed on the internet."
Martin said, "The Hanks will soon be our in-laws after all. What exactly do you mean by doing that to them?"
"When I first asked you to marry Lauren, you refused but now that Lauren is marrying someone else, you even caused their family to end up like this. Do you want my granddaughter to live her whole life with unrequited love for you and end up alone for the rest of her life’?"
