Chapter 326: Victoria’s Father Is Still Alive!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Jordan turned around, only to see that it was his eldest brother, Jesse!
Jordan immediately put down his glass, got up from the bar counter, and hugged Jesse gleefully!
“Jesse!”
It had been years since Jordan saw his eldest brother!
Jordan and Jesse were biological brothers who shared the same set of parents, while Jamie was their half-brother from another mother.
Of course, the three brothers grew up having a close-knit relationship without any differences.
“What brings you here?”
Jordan was surprised.
Jesse glanced at the people in the bar and said, “I need a word with you alone, just us two.”
Jordan immediately instructed Salvatore, “Salvatore, clear the place.”
Salvatore couldn’t help but glance at Jordan’s eldest brother a few more times. After all, he had to respect his master’s eldest brother, too.
Although Jesse was not as handsome as Jordan, he had an imposing aura, and he had a slightly more robust figure that made him seem rather mature and reliable.
“Greetings, Mr. Steele!”
Salvatore bowed respectfully to Jesse before bringing all the people in the bar out.
The entire bar had long been booked by Jordan, so the waiters were rather compliant to Salvatore too.
After everyone left, Jordan couldn’t help but say to Jesse, “Jesse, Dad killed someone. He murdered my girlfriend’s father!”
Jesse hurriedly said, “No, Jordan, Dad didn’t kill him.”
Jordan handed the photo given to them by the man to Jesse and said, “I called Dad just now and he personally admitted that he’s related to the death of Norman Clarke.”
Jesse looked at the photo before putting it down and saying, “Norman Clarke didn’t die at all.”
“What did you say!?!”
Jordan was jolted awake. In this instant, the alcohol that Jordan had drunk in the last three hours seemed to have evaporated out of Jordan’s body.
Jesse fished out his cell phone and showed Jordan a photo.
It was a photo of a middle-aged man in his fifties who had very short hair and looked extremely energetic.
“This is… Norman Clarke!”
Jordan could tell that the man in the photo was Norman, but he looked a little older than he did in the other photo.
Although he was old in his years, he was still full of vigor.
Jesse nodded and said, “Here’s a recent photo of him.”
Jordan was elated. “He isn’t dead! Dad didn’t kill Victoria’s father!”
Jordan was overjoyed because he thought that he and Victoria had become enemies who would forever be against each other in the future.
In the three hours just now, Jordan had been thinking about what he should do if Victoria were to kill his father to avenge hers!
However, he no longer had to mull over it because Victoria’s father was still alive!
Jordan was puzzled. “Why so? If he’s not dead, why are there claims that he’s dead? The story about the hospital cremating his corpse must be a fabricated lie too, huh?”
Jesse said, “Sorry, Jordan, I can only let you know Norman Clarke is not dead, but I can’t disclose the reason to you.”
“It’s because this involves our family’s secret, which you currently don’t have permission to find out about.”
“In fact, you don’t even have permission to look at this photo, but I really can’t bear to see you being so devastated and losing the person you love the most. That’s why I flew over to tell you about this.”
Jordan was really touched. ‘Indeed, Jesse is the best to me!’
Jordan asked, “Since you don’t have permission, how did you find out?”
