The atmosphere immediately became rather strange.
Everyone knew that Madam Geng liked Jordan very much, so everyone kept praising him. But Quillon, who was the only other American at present and even had the same surname as Jordan, was so antagonistic toward Jordan.
This was Jordan’s first visit so no one felt it was their place to speak up for him.
And actually, to most of those at present, Jordan’s sudden decision to follow the Geng family was indeed worthy of suspicion.
Quillon said, “You have the ability to kill Park Sang-jun and Miyamoto Chujiro on your own. You are also invulnerable, having been injected with the Mirakuru serum. Since you are so capable, why would you degrade yourself and seek the protection of the Geng family? Do you have ulterior motives?!”
Jordan frowned at Quillon. This fellow really knew how to cause trouble.
Madam Geng was not a fool. She was a woman who controlled the entire Geng family. Furthermore, she was the one who had led the Geng family to its high position, second only to the Rong family. She was definitely not a foolish lovesick woman.
She would not believe everything about Jordan just because she liked him.
She had her own judgment about Jordan’s loyalty. She didn’t need Quillon’s reminder at all.
So Quillon’s words made everyone feel very awkward.
Madam Geng did not say anything. She wanted to hear Jordan’s answer.
Jordan answered. “After I killed Miyamoto Chujiro, Chairman Rong suggested that I be hunted down. If it was just me, I wouldn’t care, but I still have family and friends. I can’t protect them all and I don’t want them to be harmed because of me.”
Jordan’s explanation was perfectly reasonable.
Many people knew that Jordan was a kind person. Although he had killed Park Sang-jun and Miyamoto Chujiro, that was only because they had forced him into a corner first.
Quillon was unconvinced. “Oh? Who are these family and friends you mentioned? Aren’t your wives and children very safe?”
Jordan continued. “There are also people who aren’t my wives and children. For example, there’s a woman who looks very similar to my wife, Victoria. She took the fall for my wife for a criminal matter and helped her a lot. I don’t want her to be implicated.”
Beep.
Madam Geng held a remote control in her hand and pressed it. A holographic image suddenly appeared in the middle of the dining room.
It was the woman who looked like Victoria!
“That’s her, isn’t it?” Madam Geng asked.
Jordan was shocked. He did not expect Madam Geng to have already investigated everything about him. She even knew about this woman!
Jordan suddenly felt that he had underestimated Geng Anli!
Quillon clearly knew a lot about Jordan’s past too. He sneered. “You’re too soft-hearted! Why are you so grateful toward a despicable woman just because she took the fall for your wife? It’s only right for a lowly person to die for their master! Besides, she didn’t go to jail, right? I heard that this woman used to be a KTV hostess? Hehe, is the life and death of such a person worth your attention?”
Jordan glared at Quillon and continued. “Also, my wife, Victoria, has a younger sister called Emily…”
Beep.
Madam Geng pressed the remote again.
