Jordan put on a conflicted expression. “Miyamoto, it’s not that I want to hide things from you or that I don’t want to help you. But I can’t decide on this matter on my own! My grandfather has the final say in our family. Without his permission, no one would dare to share our technology. Today, your family joined forces with the Park family to humiliate my grandfather. I don’t think he will want to help you!”
When Miyamoto Masaki recalled what happened at the meeting today, he couldn’t help feeling extremely regretful!
“It’s all because of the damn Park family. They tricked our Miyamoto family into going against yours! Jordan, I’ve always respected Mr. Steele. I was in the wrong today. I swear that there won’t be a next time! Please give me a chance to make up for my mistakes!”
Jordan said indifferently, “Looks like you’re quite sincere. Apologize to my grandfather during tomorrow’s meeting!”
Miyamoto Masaki said, “Of course, of course! I wonder what Mr. Steele likes? I’ll give you a gift as an apology.”
Jordan said, “There’s no need for gifts. My grandfather doesn’t lack anything. However, my grandfather likes to drink tea. Make some tea for him tomorrow morning. Perhaps my grandfather will have a better impression of you.”
Jordan’s grandfather had been humiliated today. He was clearly the oldest and most experienced person across the eight great families, but he had been disrespected by so many juniors! Therefore, Jordan wanted to help his grandfather regain his dignity!
The others had been so disrespectful to Charleston today. But tomorrow, they would have to bow and serve him tea!
Miyamoto Masaki immediately agreed. “Alright, I will definitely brew some tea in advance and wait for Mr. Steele to arrive!”
Jordan nodded. “Okay. My sister and I still have to go star-gazing. We’ll leave first.”
Miyamoto Masaki bowed and watched them leave. “Jordan, Miss Jodie, please take care!”
The two of them walked into the distance. Lota burst out laughing. “Jordan, you’re so good at lying! You fooled Miyamoto Masaki. And I thought he was very smart!”
During the previous two great meetings, Lota had felt that Miyamoto Masaki was very shrewd and looked a little scary. She did not expect him to be played like a fool by Jordan and Dragon today.
Jordan hurriedly made a “shushing” gesture. “Shh, be careful. The walls have ears. We’ll talk about this when we get home.”
Jordan was very cautious.
Lota looked around. “This is a mountain. There are no walls. Also, why did you put your finger on your mouth? If you don’t want me to speak, shouldn’t you put your finger on my mouth?”
Jordan was a little exasperated by Lota’s naivety and ignorance.
He couldn’t be bothered to explain. “Alright, I’ll ‘shush’ you again then.”
This time, Jordan placed his index finger on her lips. However, she suddenly opened her mouth and bit his finger.
“Hahaha, you are so stupid. You’ve been deceived!”
“Silly girl, how dare you bite me! Don’t run!”
….
While the two of them were playing around and admiring the stars, Park Anya changed into a black dress and went to the Steele family’s house.
Knock-knock.
Park Anya knocked on the wooden door. She had very good manners and would not enter without being invited.
Jesse heard the knock and went to the door. He immediately put on a very courteous manner when he saw that it was Park Anya. “Ms. Park, why are you here? Please come in!”
Park Anya bowed politely to Jesse and clasped her hands together in front of her. “I’m here to look for Jordan. I won’t disturb Mr. Steele’s rest. Can you call Jordan out?”
“Unfortunately, Jordan just went out,” said Jesse.
Park Anya asked, “Where did he go?”
Jesse shook his head. “I don’t know. He doesn’t report his comings and goings to me.”
