In the courtyard of Lauren's house in the capital.
Lauren and Victoria held hands as they watered the flowers in the courtyard. The two beauties had blissful smiles on their faces and seemed to have a good relationship. In the middle of the courtyard was a red suitcase belonging to Victoria.
A smile was on Lauren's face. "Victoria, Jordan will be returning to the capital today. Don't stay in a hotel. Stay here with us."
Ever since Victoria came to the capital, she had been staying in a hotel.
Victoria was a little embarrassed. "It won't be... too appropriate, right?"
The two of them had reached a consensus and established a good relationship over the past two days. However, Victoria felt a little embarrassed to stay with them. She had always been a proud and domineering female president. She could accept it if this was Jordan's house.
But staying in the house of her man's wife was a little embarrassing.
Lauren held her hand and said sincerely, "You don't have to worry as I'm the only one living here. Moreover, my brother's people are protecting us near the courtyard. It's very safe."
Seeing how sincere Lauren was, Victoria nodded in agreement. However, at this moment, Marissa appeared at the door.
"Mom, why are you here?"
Lauren was a little surprised.
Victoria quickly greeted Marissa respectfully. "Hello, Auntie Marissa."
However, Marissa just rolled her eyes at Victoria and ignored her greeting.
Marissa walked straight to Lauren and grabbed her slender wrist. "Why is this woman here?"
"I invited Victoria to stay here," Lauren explained.
Marissa said angrily, "Are you crazy? When other women meet their husband's mistress, they can't wait to chase her away. But you took the initiative to invite her home? Is your brain fried? How did I give birth to a spineless daughter like you?"
Lauren was upset. "Victoria isn't a mistress. She was with Jordan before we got married. If anyone is a mistress, I am the one, not Victoria."
Exasperated, Marissa slapped Lauren!
Smack!
Marissa scolded. "Why are you so useless?! What drug did that b*stard Jordan give you? What bewitching potion did he give you to make you think that you're the mistress? Jordan is so despicable! He's a manipulative b*stard who deceives women!"
After slapping Lauren, Marissa pointed at Victoria and her luggage. "You are a shameless woman who ruined someone else's family. If your parents had brought you up well, you wouldn't have appeared in this house! Take your luggage and get out of our house immediately!"
Tears were flowing down Lauren's face. As for Victoria, she would never lower her head to anyone in her life. Even in the capital, even if the Howard family had power, she would never be humiliated like this.
Victoria took her luggage and left! However, she had only taken two steps when she halted.
"Jordan..."
Jordan appeared at the door dressed in black casual wear!
