England was Jordan's territory. Jordan's grandfather and parents lived here, and his family's main assets and power were also here. As such, Jordan should be able to get whatever he wanted here!
However, now that he had come to his own bar in England, Jordan was being treated as a liar and forced to apologize!
At this moment, Lauren suddenly stood up with a stern expression. She took off the expensive watch on her wrist and placed it on the bar counter.
"I'm sorry. I said that I would treat you guys to drinks today, but I didn't manage to do it. I don't have much cash with me. Take this watch as compensation for those four bottles of wine. I've disappointed you girls. I was too boastful. You can mock me as much as you want. I apologize to you.
"But I will never make my husband apologize to you! Hubby, let's go!"
Lauren grabbed Jordan's hand and prepared to leave with him.
Although Lauren usually looked gentle and weak, when it came to certain matters, she still had a certain spirit and dignity.
She knew that Jordan was proud. He would never apologize to anyone.
Jordan was incredibly touched.
He recalled how when he was with Hailey, he had encountered Hailey and Tyler checking into a hotel. He had accidentally dropped Tyler's takeout.
Even under those circumstances, Hailey had wanted Jordan to apologize to Tyler!
Caught in this situation, Lauren looked like she was about to cut ties with the three of them. Even if she ended up offending her good friends from university, she wouldn't want her husband to lower his head!
However, Jordan did not leave.
He held onto Lauren and said, "Honey, this is your bar. No one can mock you. If anyone is to leave, it should be them!"
Fanny said angrily, "You're still pretending at this stage!"
At this moment, a fat, middle-aged man walked in. When he saw Jordan and Lauren, he took out his phone and compared them to a photo. He immediately bowed respectfully.
"Mr. and Mrs. Steele, welcome to the bar! I'm Bob, the person-in-charge of Churchill Bar."
Jordan looked at him. "You are the person-in-charge here?"
No wonder Fanny's husband didn't know him. He wasn't the person-in-charge at all. He was a fraud!
Fanny asked Bob, "What nonsense are you talking about?! This bar belongs to my husband! Who the hell are you?"
Bob glanced at Michael and asked, "Oh? Sir, are you sure this bar is yours? I took over this bar five years ago. Two years ago, I sold it to the Greene King Bar Group, which belongs to Mr. and Mrs. Steele. There are still past photos of me and my friends hanging on the wall. I can also take out a contract to prove my claim. What evidence do you have to say that this is your bar?"
Michael was at a loss for words.
Fanny was anxious and kept urging him. "Hubby, say something. Didn't you buy this bar?"
Michael said, "Honey, I'm sorry. You asked me to buy this bar at the last minute yesterday. I asked my assistant, and the bar here is owned by a large corporation. It's not for sale. I thought that you were just treating your friends to a drink here, so I bribed the waiter here."
