My Wasted Husband Is in Power, Now! novel Chapter 495

Marissa hung up angrily.

Exasperated, Jordan returned the phone to Lauren and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Honey. I'm not trying to be difficult with your mother. It's not that I don't want to let her sit in the carriage. It's just that..."

Lauren cut in, "I understand, Hubby. Mom's request is too overboard. Once the golden carriage is mobilized, it will definitely cause a commotion on many levels. I know your family has always been very low-profile. Yesterday, when we rode the golden carriage, they had to seal the roads and get the royal guards to protect me. I was quite embarrassed."

Jordan nodded. He was very happy that his wife was a reasonable person. If it was another woman, she might have argued with her husband and said nasty things.

"Actually, yesterday was the first time our family's golden carriage was driven through the London city area. My grandfather and others in the family have never done that before."

Lauren covered her mouth in surprise. "Even Brother Jesse and Sister Yumi have never ridden it in the city before?"

Jordan shook his head.

Lauren couldn't believe it. "Will Sister Yumi blame me for being frivolous? Will she hate me because of this?"

They were both daughters-in-law of the Steele family. Lauren had come here for the first time and already used the family's golden carriage on her first day.

Yumi was the wife of the eldest son and she had never used it even though she had been married into the Steele family for several years. Lauren felt that Yumi might be upset with her because of this, and was becoming increasingly anxious. She cared a lot about her relationship with the Steele family members.

Jordan smiled. "No, she won't. My brother and sister-in-law treat me very well. They won't be upset because of that. Don't worry."

At Heathrow Airport, London.

"That useless son-in-law! I'm so angry! How did I end up with such a stingy son-in-law?!"

Marissa was still scolding Jordan after hanging up.

Her friend asked, "Marissa, what's going on? Is it inconvenient for Jordan to pick us up? We can take a taxi there ourselves."

Marissa smiled awkwardly. "I'm really sorry to have made a fool of myself. My son-in-law is too outrageous! I'll take you to the hotel. We can go to the casino!"

With that said, Marissa brought her four socialite friends to a 192-year-old casino in England where they played Punto Banco.

"Useless son-in-law, stingy son-in-law! Jordan, I'm going to spend 10 million pounds here tonight! And you will compensate me for every single cent I spend!"

Marissa assumed that since Jordan's family was very powerful in England, she could lose as much money as she wanted here. There was no need to worry. As a result, Marissa played carelessly, intending to lose

money.

However, she kept winning time and time again!

"Aiyo, Marissa, you're so lucky today. How much have you won? You must have won a million pounds by now, right?"

Marissa laughed. "I've already won two million pounds’"

"Oh my god, that's crazy!"

Coincidentally, Lauren happened to call at this moment.

"Hello, Mom, where are you? Jordan and I have come to pick you up. Jordan's mother knows that you're here and wants to see you very much. She's waiting for you to come to dinner tonight," Lauren said.

Marissa snorted. "I have to go meet the Steeles just because they want to? If they wanted to see me so much, why didn't they come to your wedding? I'm not free. I'm having fun at the casino. I won't be going over tonight. We'll see how it goes tomorrow!"

Lauren knew that her mother was a bit of a gambling addict. She cautioned her. "Mom, just play a little for entertainment. Don't lose too much."
