Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

While containing his laughter, Jordan recalled what happened that night and said, “No, Stefan, Marissa treats me very well…”

Jordan was thrilled at the thought of the slap that he had given Marissa! As Marissa’s son-in-law, he ought not to hit her regardless of how overboard she was. Moreover, she was a woman.

Hence, he was still glad to be able to secretly take revenge against her.

Turning to face Lauren, Jordan said, “Lauren, sit down. Why miss a performance? I’d like to know how much better other men of my age are than I am!”

Martin nodded gratefully, not expecting Jordan to be so generous and gracious.

How confident must he be to sit here and enjoy the performance of his love rivals?

First of all, the performance was put up by the scions of DC and the content was rather mediocre. It was impossible for them to attract the heiress of a top family like Lauren at all. Aside from personal charm and based on family status alone, they would be even less attractive to the Howards.

Who in DC could be compared to the Howards?

After that, there were a few other scions of other cities that showcased their talents but they barely passed.

Finally, there are only three left, namely Matthew from Houston, Henry from Orlando, and Cayden from New York!

Since this talent competition was essentially for the sake of selecting a husband for Lauren, they still had to act like it was to cheer Martin up. Hence, when it was Matthew’s turn, Matthew took the initiative to walk toward Martin and said respectfully, “Mr. Howard Sr., talent shows and the like are not my

forte. I don’t like such noisy stuff. Due to my father’s involvement in the government sector, I was influenced by my father and some of my teachers. Since I was a child, I’ve been more interested in things like face-reading.”

Many people knew that Matthew had an incredible family background too so they started currying favor with him.

“Mr. Harmon, you’re so young but you already know feng shui and face-reading. How impressive.”

“That’s right, no wonder your father has been doing so well in politics.”

Martin smiled and said, “Matthew, since you know how to read fortunes, why don’t you help me read mine?”

Matthew hastily lowered his head and exclaimed, “I wouldn’t dare to! Mr. Howard Sr., I can tell from your face alone that you will reach the ripe old age of a hundred years old. Your family will continue to prosper.”

Matthew obviously wouldn’t dare to read Martin’s fortune because that was just akin to courting death. It was just like how people in history wouldn’t dare to read the emperor’s fortune.

In ancient times, there was a metaphysician in China who had read the face and fortune of Emperor Taizong of Tang who then asked him how much longer he could live.

Despite having the answer, the metaphysician nevertheless got on his knees and said, “Long live, Your Majesty!”

Emperor Taizong of Tang then asked, “How long can I reign over Tang?”

The metaphysician said, “Until pigs can fly!”

Emperor Taizong of Tang was elated because it was impossible for a pig to go up a tree, which meant that the Tang Dynasty could continue for generations. However, what he didn’t know was that the metaphysician was referring to an emperor named Zhu Wen who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and

was valued greatly.

Later, when he reached the peak of his power, he overthrew the Tang Dynasty and became the emperor himself.

Although Matthew was young, he knew that he couldn’t just read the fortune of a bigwig like Martin.
