Seeing this scene, Jordan was extremely displeased. He could tell at a glance that the old man had ill intentions towards Elle and was taking liberties with her.
The strange thing was that Elle did not resist but instead had a shy look on her face.
Many men would take a woman’s shyness as a signal for a man to pursue her!
“Could it be that Elle is taking the initiative to offer herself as his sugar baby?”
Jordan frowned and walked over.
At this moment, the man was talking to Elle and Dakota. They were chatting merrily with glasses of wine in their hands.
Dakota kept recommending Elle to the man.
“Mr. Adler, Jenny has never even been in love and she hasn’t lost her first kiss yet. Mr. Adler, you and Jenny seem to resemble each other. Why don’t you take Jenny as your goddaughter?”
Obviously, Dakota and Elle couldn’t explicitly ask him to take Elle as his sugar baby in public. However, they were all smart enough to know that they were implying that Mr. Adler would become Elle’s sugar daddy.
Everyone knew that sugar babies were common these days.
Mr. Adler was extremely pleased too. “Not bad, the fortune teller did tell me that I should acknowledge a goddaughter this year to have great luck, Jenny, are you willing to be my goddaughter?”
Jenny smiled and looked at the old man shyly. “Godfather!”
Without explicitly expressing her agreement, Jenny addressed him as her godfather straightaway.
“Hahahaha, good. I’ll take you to have a good time in DC tonight.”
Not showing any restraint, Mr. Adler wrapped his arm around Jenny’s shoulders while the other middle-aged men at the same table laughed along. They all naturally understood what would happen to Mr. Adler and his “goddaughter” tonight.
At this moment, Jordan walked over.
“Here comes the groom.”
When Mr. Adler saw Jordan, he also got really worked up. Although he was a big shot in the financial circle and film industry of DC, he was still a notch below the Howards.
After witnessing the “confrontation” between Jordan’s elder brother and Martin, he realized that the Steeles seemed to be even more powerful than the Howards.
Hence, Mr. Adler was very respectful to Jordan. “Hey Jordan, I’ve been friends with your father-in-law’s family for decades and since it’s your big day today, we must have a drink!”
As he spoke, Mr. Adler was about to pour some wine. Since he was a guest of the Howards, Jordan knew it was inappropriate to shame him. Otherwise, Jordan would have long lashed out at him for putting his arm around Elle’s shoulder and grabbing her arm.
“I’m here to look for Elle.”
“Elle? Who’s Elle?” Mr. Adler was stunned.
At this moment, Elle lowered her head, not daring to look up at Jordan. She was greatly ashamed to have Jordan run into her while she was soliciting a sugar daddy.
Ignoring the older man, Jordan grabbed Elle’s wrist.
“Come with me.”
He then pulled Elle and went to the restroom on the second floor. Since the banquet had just started and everyone was eating, there was not a single person here.
Jordan was extremely displeased so he questioned, “Elle…”
