Jesse and Yumi were having breakfast in the public dining area, dressed in appropriate attire for the setting. There were not many people here as most of them were foreigners.
“Go and help yourselves to some food.”
Yumi smiled at the two. The breakfast was buffet-style and the patrons didn’t need to present a ticket to dine there. Anyone who could enter the hotel would be free to choose from a plethora of hundreds and even thousands of delicacies.
Lauren was already one step ahead and went to pick the food. Although Jordan also wanted to go with her, Jesse had already stood up and walked over at this moment.
Jesse said, “Jordan, come upstairs with me to get something. We’ll come back again to eat afterward.”
“Oh.”
Jordan didn’t say anything and instead, walked out with Jesse.
When he reached the elevator, Jordan asked, “Jesse, nothing happened in DC the past few days, right?”
Jesse shook his head. “It’s okay, I’m here with the prince and the princess for some business matters and private matters too. The Howards wouldn’t dare to do anything to me.”
Swiping his card, Jesse entered the room but he didn’t seem to be looking for anything in particular. Jordan could tell that Jesse had deliberately called him to come upstairs so that he could have a word with him alone.
“Jordan, I’m leaving tonight.”
Jordan was a little surprised. “You’re leaving tonight? Don’t you want to stay for a few more days? Lauren’s parents and grandfather would like to have a meal with you again.”
Jesse shook his head with a solemn expression. “I actually took a great risk in coming here. I can’t stay here for long.”
Jordan nodded, understanding that the Steeles’ current situation was indeed at a very tricky stage.
Continuing, Jesse said with a stern expression, “Before I leave, there are a few things that I want to tell you. After the last few days of scouting, I was able to find out where Jamie is.”
“Where’s Jamie now?” Jamie asked curiously.
Jesse shook his head and said, “I don’t know, but he came to DC some time ago and he even took Victoria with him.”
Jamie was immediately stunned. “Jesse… What did you say? Did you say that Victoria was taken away?”
Jordan had always thought that the Howards had kept Victoria captive to force him to marry Lauren!
In response, Jesse took out a photo from a handbag. It looked like it had just been printed out.
“Look, here is the photo taken by the surveillance camera at the airport that day.”
Jordan carefully looked at the photo of the two of them.
However, based on their figures and the look in their eyes, Jordan was 100% sure that they were Jamie and Victoria!
In fact, Victoria was wearing the same dress as she did on the day that they broke up!
“There’s no mistake, this is Victoria!”
Jordan was extremely excited. This was the first time he had ever gotten any information about Victoria’s whereabouts since she went missing for no reason!
At this moment, Jordan also realized that Jesse’s connections were much stronger than his. He had checked for such a long time but he still hadn’t discovered any of Victoria’s whereabouts.
However, Jesse had only been here for three days and yet, he had already found a photo of Victoria and Jamie. Besides, it had been quite a long time since she went missing.
The longer it had been since a matter has passed, the more difficult it is to investigate it.
In fact, Jesse had also gone through a trial about seven or eight years ago. Hence, he had his own network of connections and henchmen here.
However, Jesse had always been a very private person. To the point that even Jordan, his brother, didn’t know whose Jesse’s henchmen were, let alone outsiders.
