Chapter 436: Trap!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jordan was shocked. He didn’t expect the beautiful Miss Monroe to react so hysterically to a casual question! He hurriedly explained, “No, he didn’t send me any pictures. I haven’t seen any pictures of you at all!”
Miss Monroe continued to holler, “Bullshit! How did you know I had his name tattooed on my body if you hadn’t seen any pictures!
“Twas purely guessing out of curiosity.” Jordan was helpless for a while.
Miss Monroe said, “Impossible! You must have looked at my photos! Quickly tell me where your family lives. I’m going to your place right now to inform your wife about this!”
Jordan hurriedly hung up the phone before heaving a long sigh of relief.
He merely recalled what Jamie said when he found Jamie’s name on some cigarettes in Dr. Gale’s home a few days ago. Jamie would mark all his cigarettes and women with his name.
“It seems that Jamie still hasn’t kicked his habit after all these years. That cigarette does belong to him.”
Jordan shook his head and prayed that he would not run into Miss Monroe by chance one day. Otherwise, he would be in deep trouble.
After that, Jordan tapped on the phone number belonging to Keith that Miss Monroe had sent him before making the call.
“Hello, who’s speaking?”
The call was quickly picked up. Although it was nighttime, there seemed to be music playing. It was a classic English song named “It Never Rains In Southern California’.
Listening to the joyful music and getting reminded of Keith, Jordan thought that this man in his sixties should still be singing and dancing at this moment.
Perhaps, he was also enjoying the company of a woman younger than Lauren.
“Hello, I’m Jordan Steele.”
Jordan said concisely and straightforwardly.
Keith froze for a moment and asked, “Which Jordan Steele?”
“Jordan of the Steele family!”
“The Steeles! Are Jesse and Jamie related to you?”
Jordan was instantly surprised that Keith knew both Jesse and Jamie. Both Jesse and Jamie had been on a business trial for years.
At that time, Keith had yet to retire and was also runing a business. Hence, it wasn’t surprising that they had met before.
Jordan smiled and said, “I was right. You do know my brothers, Mr. Adams.”
Jordan had just looked up information about Keith for a long time and discovered that Keith not only liked befriending beautiful women, but also the wealthy. Given how much he loved making friends, he must have met Jesse and Jamie before.
When Keith heard this, he immediately turned down the music and also told a person next to him to keep her volume down.
Keith then said with a smile, “Haha, so it turns out that you’re Jesse and Jamie’s younger brother! I remember Mr. Jamie Steele telling me before he left the country a few years ago that he has a younger brother named Jordan, who would appear in the local business circle in a few years. He even asked me
to help you when the time came.”
Jordan was stunned to hear that. Jamie was the one who had harmed him and also the one who had been helping him! At this moment, he really didn’t know what kind of a person Jamie was!
“Did Jamie… really say that?” Jordan asked.
Keith said, “Of course, Jamie is really good to you. He even said that he would prepare a few top gorgeous celebrities for you. I’ve kept them around for you.”
Hearing this, Jordan was certain that Keith knew Jamie because that was exactly what his style was like!
Keith seemed to be overjoyed. “Ah, I miss the times when Jamie was still around. At that time, we were together almost every single day, drinking and toying with women. It’s really difficult to find a confidante like him! After Jamie left, I was going to die of boredom these years. Fortunately, you came. We
can enjoy ourselves every day as I did with Jamie before.
“By the way, Jordan, which celeb do you like? Tell me straight. With my status in the entertainment industry and the years I’ve spent running a business in this industry, I can get you anyone you like!”
Jordan hurriedly said, “Mr. Adams, I’m not the same as Jamie. I don’t like toying with women, let alone celebrities. I appreciate your goodwill, though.”
Keith sighed and said, “Ah, you’re the same as Jesse. Both of you are wasting your youth and lives away. Do you know how precious a man’s body is when he is young? You only have one woman now and that’s such a waste!”
Jordan cut straight to the chase helplessly. “Mr. Adams, I called to ask you for a favor.”
“Tell me. Jamie has given me plenty of help and he’s also a longtime friend of mine. I’ll definitely help you in every way I can!”
Jordan drawled, “It’s about your daughter, Chelsea Adams.”
At a famous restaurant at noon the following day.
Jordan arrived at the agreed restaurant, pushed open the door to the private room, and entered.
At this moment, Chelsea and Maggie were already waiting in the private room.
Upon sight of Chelsea, Jordan discovered that she appeared even harsher and more difficult to get along with than she seemed to be in the photos of her on the Internet. At this moment, Chelsea was also glaring at him in a rather unfriendly manner.
Just as Jordan was about to walk in, Colton suddenly came out of the private room next door!
“Hey, aren’t you the esteemed Mr. Steele of J Films!?! Guys, quickly come over to take a look. Lauren’s husband, the bigwig of the entertainment industry is here too.”
Colton exclaimed at the room and soon, seven or eight people came out. They weren’t outsiders but the same few men and women who attended the party yesterday.
Colton walked over and deliberately pretended to be curious. “Mr. Steele, you’re here to eat too?”
He walked to the private room and exclaimed in surprise when he saw Maggie who was inside. “Maggie! What a coincidence!”
“You must be Ms. Adams of Dreams Entertainment, right?” Colton took the initiative to walk over and greeted Chelsea.
Chelsea also smiled and said, “You are Maggie’s cousin, right? I’m really glad to meet you. Sit down and have some tea.”
Colton didn’t stand on ceremony either. “Friends, since Ms. Adams does not mind, we will join you for a little while. We’ll leave immediately after having a cup of tea.”
Lauren’s classmates all entered that private room.
Jordan stood in place and humphed coldly.
‘A coincidence? Who do you think you’re fooling!?!”
Colton must have known the time and place that Chelsea had agreed upon. In fact, he was the one who told Chelsea about Jordan! These people were obviously there to watch him make a fool of himself!
Jordan looked at Colton and the others. “Colton, you guys are really close, huh? You just had a classmates’ reunion last night and you’re getting together again this afternoon.”
In response, Colton said, “It’s not that we didn’t have fun last night. It just happens that our workplaces are nearby so we’re having lunch together here. Mr. Steele, rest assured, we’ll just have a cup of tea and leave. We won’t hinder you. You can go ahead and do what you need to.”
Colton gestured for them to come over.
Jordan humphed coldly and ignored them. He entered, looked at Chelsea, and called out, “Ms. Adams.”
To his surprise, Chelsea said sarcastically, “Hey, I’m shocked.. I thought you’d call me Chelsea or Chels!”
