Everyone was shocked!
Martin, who had always been calm and collected, even stood up from his seat slowly and asked, "What did you say?"
Jordan looked at Lauren with devotion. He then said loudly to the Howards, "I said that I want to marry Lauren!"
After investigating in secret during this period of time, Jordan had already thought it through clearly. If he wanted to know Victoria's whereabouts, he had to marry Lauren, and only then could he infiltrate the Howards and unravel the truth about Victoria's disappearance.
There was no way that Jordan was going to betray Victoria and on the contrary, he was marrying Lauren for Victoria's sake!
It may not be fair to Lauren but Jordan had no other choice now!
Besides, after going through so much with Lauren during this period, he had indeed gotten a better impression of her.
On the other hand, Lauren had long been looking forward to being in a relationship with Jordan!
A smile appeared on Martin's old face because Jordan had always been a more preferable candidate for being his grandson-in-law than Chris!
The Steeles were far more powerful than the Hanks, and the Steeles had been harboring a secret that Martin longed to know. If anything, he had always wanted to use Lauren to get close to the Steeles and then find out all the treasures and secrets that he had!
Martin said to Jordan, "Jordan Steele, I don't like jokes. You must take responsibility for what you have said!"
Jordan straightened his back and said, "I've always been a man of my word! Since I said that I'm going to marry Lauren, I definitely will!"
With that, Jordan held onto one of Lauren's hand while touching his mouth with his other hand. She was extremely agitated and she didn't dare to believe that it was true. "Jordan..."
For most of the past four years of her life, she had been living in the illusory world where she was in a relationship with Jordan.
'Is my dream finally going to come true?'
However, not everyone approved of Jordan marrying Lauren. The first to leap to her feet was Marissa, who stood up in exasperation.
"Can you marry my daughter just because you say that you want to? Who do you think you are? Not to mention that my daughter is now engaged to Chris Hank, even if she isn't, what makes you think you can marry Lauren?"
Brad was happy for Lauren but he had just been shot in the leg by Jordan so he wouldn't speak up for Jordan. Instead, he helped his mother make things hard for the man.
"Mom, you're right. My sister is the most beautiful woman in DC who has an excellent figure, and not to mention, a powerful family background. You're now a penniless man who has nothing but a few hundred
underlings. How are you worthy of marrying Lauren?"
Brad wasn't afraid that their hindering would stop Jordan from marrying Lauren. He knew Jordan too well and he knew that the more he made things hard for Jordan, the more Jordan would want to marry Lauren.
Lauren began to get a little anxious. "Mom, Brad, you..."
She had finally gotten the chance to marry the man she loved the most and she didn't expect her family to oppose it.
