Elle was so touched that she leaped into Jordan’s arms and even kissed him.
Jordan hurriedly pushed Elle away and snapped, “What are you trying to do!?! What if my wife sees us!?!”
The Howards were the hosts today so if they were to see anything untoward, Jordan would really be unable to bear the consequences.
Elle was extremely agitated too as she hurriedly took out some wet wipes and handed them to Jordan for him to wipe himself.
There were still traces of Jenny’s lipstick on him.
Jordan looked at his reflection in the mirror and carefully wiped himself clean before giving Elle a warning.
“You’re not allowed to do this again, do you hear me? I treat you as my younger sister.”
Elle said, “Jordan, as long as you are willing to help me become famous, I’m willing to do anything for you. When you’re bored, you can always look for me to keep you company.”
In response, Jordan said, “I don’t need you to do anything for me, nor do I need you to sleep with me. If it weren’t for me, your family wouldn’t have been reduced to such a penniless state. This is what I owe to you.”
Although her parents had been resentful towards Jordan for causing the Camdens to go bankrupt, Elle had never felt that way.
“Jordan, how do you want to promote me and help me become famous?”
After a pause, Jordan said, “I don’t know anyone in the domestic entertainment industry either, and I have no way to invest in you now that my funds are frozen. So I’ll take you to meet my brother. He should know some people in the local film industry.”
Jordan was acquainted with big names like Christopher Nolan, James Cameron, and other notable directors of their level. Given the fact that Elle was still in her first year of studies at the film academy, she clearly couldn’t act in films that they directed.
Hence, Jordan took Jenny downstairs and brought her to Jesse’s table.
At this moment, he was drinking wine with Martin and Stefan while chatting with them happily.
Jesse was surprised to see Jordan bringing a woman with a superb figure over.
“Jordan, this is?”
“This is Jenny, the cousin of my former wife.”
Everyone was stunned. ‘Why are the Camdens here at Jordan Steele’s wedding?’
It was no secret that Jesse and Yumi had a bad impression of Hailey, and thus, they didn’t have a good impression of Elle either.
Elle took the initiative to go forward and called out, “Jesse, Yumi, I’m pleased to finally have the opportunity to meet you. There is one thing you may not know. Our grandfathers initially arranged for me and Jordan to get married when they were discussing the engagement back then. But my father opposed it because I was underage at the time so Hailey replaced me.
“If only I had married Jordan at that time, I would have treated him well.”
Jesse and Yumi looked at each other, at a complete loss for words. The Howards could also tell that this woman, the cousin of Jordan’s former spouse, was somewhat fond of Jordan.
Jordan was extremely awkward as well. “Let’s stop talking about this. By the way, Jesse, do you know someone who deals with local film investments? Jenny has recently delved into the entertainment industry, and I want to make her famous.”
Since it was Jordan’s request, Jesse naturally wouldn’t turn him down.
“I do know a few directors. I can recommend her to both of them.”
“Really? Thank you, Jesse!” Jenny was overjoyed.
At this moment, Stefan suddenly said, “Miss Jenny, do you want to break into the entertainment industry? Actually, the quickest way to become famous nowadays is not by acting in movies but by participating in reality shows.
“I happen to know a guy who runs a film and TV productions company, which produced a program called Creating Idols. The artistes that get selected each year tend to immediately shoot to fame. Miss Jenny, if you have a background in singing and dancing, I can guarantee that you will rise to fame and become a household name in the country within six months!”
Elle was surprised and flattered. “I do! I can sing and dance!”
Jordan was puzzled because he didn’t expect Lauren’s father to be so enthusiastic as to help him out. It seemed that the Howards also wanted to show off their power in front of Jesse.
“Thank you,” Jordan thanked Stefan.
