Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Russell’s hostility towards Jordan made Victoria highly displeased.

In her impression, Russell was not such an ungracious person, so she wondered if he had developed an inferiority complex because of Jordan.

Victoria said, “Mr. Miller, my boyfriend knows that you’ve given me a lot of help, and he’s also aware of your noble status. To make sure tonight’s dinner is worthy of your status, he painstakingly went to the trouble of renting the most expensive yacht in the world to give you a treat in, to express his gratitude to you.”

“Acting in such an unceremonious manner doesn’t seem to be in line with your identity as the president of a listed company. Shouldn’t you be more gracious?”

Russell looked at Jordan with a sullen expression. He said, “Jordan Steele, since you’re so capable and you even managed to rent the most expensive yacht in the world, why didn’t you do anything when the Huxleys were targeting Victoria?”

“You just watched Victoria go for interviews at one company after another, only to fail again and again. You watched her get her heart broken again and again. Call yourself her boyfriend!”

Hearing Russell’s words, Victoria felt extremely conflicted, and she said, “It’s not what you think. It’s not that Jordan doesn’t care about me…”

Victoria wanted to speak up for Jordan because she knew that Jordan was just leveraging on the power of the Steeles to set up such a lavish meal this evening. It was actually all just an act.

She believed that he had managed to do it using his former identity as the scion of the Steele family.

Meanwhile, Jordan would need to have real money to deal with the Huxleys. Since he had been kicked out of the family, he naturally couldn’t do it.

However, what Victoria did not know was that Jordan was indeed able to stop the Huxleys by revealing his identity, just as Russell said, but he chose not to do so.

Jordan put down his glass of wine and said coldly, “Mr. Miller, it seems that you don’t like dining on a yacht. In this case, I won’t force you either. I’ll have the waiter send you to the pier.”

Jordan didn’t have to explain that to Russell at all. If he was competent, he could totally investigate it himself.

Russell was merely the richest man in Houston whom Jordan felt had no right to find out about his secret if he didn’t have the means to find out himself.

Billionaires may be supreme existences to look up to and curry favor with in the eyes of ordinary people. Even the government officials would be very respectful towards them.

However, in Jordan’s eyes, Russell was just like a fly that could be killed at any time.

Victoria and Russell were both a bit surprised that Jordan had hinted for Russell to leave so soon.

Russell had finally met Victoria’s boyfriend and his agenda today was clearly to destroy Jordan’s confidence.

Since he had yet to achieve his agenda, how could Russell leave just like that?

Besides, Russell wanted to slowly find out from Jordan just how he managed to rent the yacht.

“Hahahahah…”

Russell, who was initially serious, suddenly burst into laughter before turning to look at Victoria.

“Victoria, you’re indeed worthy of being someone I taught. The boyfriend you chose is unique and has a strong personality. I like him!”

“Come on, Jordan, let’s toast!”

Russell took the initiative to raise his glass at Jordan.

Jordan, too didn’t say anything. Instead, he raised his wine glass, and the three of them downed their drinks. Gradually, they began to chat.

…

Hudson River.

Everyone was stunned by the sudden appearance of Aqua, the first and most luxurious superyacht in the world!

The citizens of New York City all came over to surround the yacht to see what it was like.

Hailey and Cayden had also arrived.

Hailey squeezed through the crowd and went to the innermost guardrail, her heart filled with excitement as she watched the yacht sail slowly on the Hudson River.

“Oh my God, this yacht is so beautiful, and it’s in the shade of green that I like! If in the daytime where the sun is shining brightly, and it is juxtaposed against the color of the water, this green would definitely be beautiful.”

Hailey liked the color green, and so did Jordan at first, but he soon disliked the color because of Hailey.

He wondered why the yacht was chosen to be in that color.

“Cayden, Cayden, quickly get me some binoculars. I want to see who is actually inside the yacht.”
