Chapter 200: Defeating Russell!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Since he became Hailey’s live-in husband the past three years, Jordan clearly felt the misery of being a mediocre man!
Jordan felt that he was quite outstanding in various aspects, but even a man like him would get despised and betrayed by a woman.
It can be imagined how aggrieved ordinary men must be!
Although Wilson was in a sorry plight, at least a pretty woman was willing to marry him. Many men were rejected before they even got to the stage of marriage.
Of course, the reason that Jordan was willing to put in effort for the welfare of men was not entirely because he was being saintly.
In fact, he felt extremely guilty towards them!
Reason being, a large part of the reason for the high property prices in the country was his grandfather!
School district houses and common areas were systems implemented by Jordan’s grandfather.
Twenty years ago, the Steeles owned large tracts of land in several cities, including the capital, New York City, and others.
It was Jordan’s grandfather who made housing prices skyrocket over the years!
There were many speculators in the real estate industry, but those were obviously low-level operations.
Jordan’s grandfather was a land speculator. Whenever he acquired a plot of land, he would spend more than a decade speculating it, and once the land value rose, he would quickly sell it to someone else. He will never earn the last dollar.
The Steeles had made at least a hundred billion from the real estate industry alone, so Jordan was willing to take out some of the money to do something for the people!
Russell also lifted his glass with a bit more respect towards Jordan. He said, “You’re welcome. Talking to you about this also touched me!”
The two clinked their glasses and downed it all in one go.
Victoria stood at the side and looked at the two men curiously. ‘What were they chatting about just now?’
Women are mostly narcissistic, so Victoria began to wonder if they had been talking about her.
Jordan invited Russell to sit down again and ordered some more food. The three of them then continued to drink.
Just like that, another hour passed.
There was no tension among the three during the past hour, and Russell’s attitude towards Jordan became extremely cordial too.
Reason being, Jordan had just made a bold and wild statement saying that he would take out billions of dollars to help solve the problem of declining childbirth and marriages. His ambition had really given Russell, a mere businessman, a great shock.
As a man, Russell admired Jordan. He could obviously tell that the current mindsets of many women in society were problematic.
A woman in a prosperous society is like gold.
His good friend had said, “The deprivation[a] of women will lead to the deprivation of the entire country.”
Those were the words that Russell agreed with, but women reacted strongly against.
Ever since he got on this yacht, Russell had been suppressed by Jordan in every way. His inferiority in physical strength was shown when he made his way up the helicopter.
The luxury of the yacht had also put Russell to shame.
When Wilson showed up on the yacht and asked to borrow money from Russell, Russell had already flaunted his wealth and power and had acted entirely like a world savior.
However, his plans were ruined by Jordan.
During the conversation, Jordan’s ambition and demeanor had all trumped him!
It was a total defeat for Russell today!
“Atrocious kid!”
The more Russell drank, the more unhappy he felt because he didn’t expect himself, an owner of a multi-billion-dollar company, to lose out to a greenhorn.
All of a sudden, an evil thought surged in Russell’s heart.
Russell lifted his glass and clinked it with the two men again before looking at Victoria while pretending nonchalant.
