Chapter 452: Selecting A New Husband For Lauren!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Of course, Jordan would think that Brad had drugged him! He was the one who had the most reason to do so to Jordan, and also the one with the greatest capability of doing it!
Jordan had ruined Brad’s leg and crippled him, so it would be no surprise that Brad bore a grudge against him and drugged his drink to make him blind!
‘That was definitely something Brad could do!
Previously, Jordan had never provoked Brad at all. The only reason he slept with Jordan’s wife was to take revenge for his sister, Lauren.
Now, it was his turn to be humiliated. Brad was the scion of a top family in DC. How could he just put up with it!?!
Hence, Brad was currently one of Jordan’s prime suspects!
However, Jordan continued to lie in bed and pretended to sleep, though Brad could already tell that he wasn’t asleep at all.
He wanted to know the reason for Brad’s visit!
Pressing the knob of his electric wheelchair, Brad moved forward again. At Brad’s request, the wheelchair could not only move on its own, but it also had many functionalities. Brad could easily go up and down the stairs without any problems.
Brad said, “Frankly speaking, I was really happy when I found out that you got drugged and became blind! I thought to myself that this bastard has finally become disabled like me! You f**king deserve it!”
Jordan’s right hand, which was hidden in the white quilt, was clenched into a fist!
“This beast Brad Howard. If he’s really the one who caused me to end up in such a plight, I’ll definitely finish him off tonight!”
However, Brad continued.
“After you hurt my leg and left me crippled, I did think about taking revenge on you, and I also thought about breaking your leg or making you go blind, become deaf and dumb or something. I’ve indeed thought about that!
“However, I didn’t do that!
“One of the reasons was because Grandfather told me not to mess around. On the other hand, because of my sister! I know my sister loves you very much and has lived blissfully after marrying you. I’ve never seen her so happy all these years.
“So, I said to myself that I would take it that I owe you this leg of mine because I seduced Hailey Camden! I’ll admit it! I will never cause you to go blind, not because I don’t dare to but because I don’t want to make my sister sad! Whether you believe it or not, this matter has nothing to do with me anyway.
It’s not my doing. If it was my doing, I wouldn’t be afraid to admit it!”
Jordan slowly unclenched his fist.
He thought that Brad came over to show him that he was the culprit and that he was trying to take revenge against him for shooting him in the leg.
Since this was the Howards’ territory, and Jordan was supposed to be blind. Jordan could not do anything to Brad even if he were to uncover anything.
However, he didn’t expect Brad to come on purpose to clarify that he was innocent.
Given Brad’s aloof and arrogant character, he could have stayed out of it if he chose not to do so. There was no need to take the initiative to clarify to Jordan.
Brad added, “I came over here specifically to explain this to you, not because I have a guilty conscience, and not because I’m afraid you’ll suspect me and take revenge against me. I just don’t want you to suspect me and thus affect your relationship with my sister. It’s that simple!”
Brad and Lauren were close siblings. He was willing to offend Jordan, and likewise, he was also willing to lower his pride to explain himself for Lauren’s sake.
Seeing that Jordan was still silent, Brad turned his wheelchair around and said before leaving, “T!l find out who drugged you and take revenge for you. You’d better recover quickly. Just to remind you, if your eyes can’t be cured, I definitely won’t let my sister stay with a blind man for the rest of her life.”
After saying that, Brad left on his own.
After Brad left, Jordan pondered Brad’s words.
After carefully analyzing it, Jordan secretly thought to himself.
‘Although Brad has a reason to do that, he doesn’t seem like the type who would be scared to own up to his actions. Seems like he’s not the one who harmed me this time. But that doesn’t mean that this matter has nothing to do with him. His mother, Marissa, could have been the one!”
‘Of course, the most likely candidate now is Jamie!”
Aweek later.
Jordan had undergone treatment in the hospital for a week but his vision still hadn’t recovered.
Of course, the truth was that Jordan had long recovered and he just kept saying that he couldn’t see anything.
Jordan did not want to stay in the hospital all the time and requested to be discharged, so Martin proceeded to help Jordan make the arrangements.
He didn’t tell Jordan to go back to Lauren’s home and instead asked the both of them to live in his mansion because it was safer. He was worried that harm would come to Jordan again.
That night, Jordan went back to his room and pretended to listen to a song on his own with headphones. While it looked like he was listening to music, in fact, he was listening to Lauren’s mother, Marissa.
Marissa happened to have come over for a meal today too so Jordan had stealthily attached a listening device to Marissa’s trousers.
This week, he sent people to inquire about the movements of Cayden, Tyler, Leonard, and the others but they had yet to find anything suspicious.
Marissa had been mad at Jordan for injuring her son. As the saying went, women were always the most vicious ones. Besides, Jordan was certain that this woman could do anything for her son!
Hence, Jordan chose to eavesdrop on her with a listening device!
By ten at night, Marissa came to Martin’s study.
Jordan concentrated on listening to the conversation between the two through the headphones.
Inside the study, Marissa, who had the aura of a noblewoman, looked at Martin as she spoke.
“Dad, Jordan’s eyes are probably not going to get better. Even the best doctors in the country can’t do anything. I’m afraid he’ll remain blind for the rest of his life. I think we need to reconsider Jordan and Lauren’s marriage. I can’t let my daughter serve a blind husband for the rest of her life!”
“My daughter is so outstanding, Jordan is no longer good enough for her! I demand that Lauren and Jordan be divorced and we find her a new husband.”
Hearing this, Jordan couldn’t help but be enraged.
Since he married Lauren, Marissa had been looking down on him. Now that she learned that Jordan had become blind, she even demanded to replace him as Lauren’s husband!
However, Martin said, “Marissa, I understand how you feel but do you know how important Jordan is to our family?”
Marissa said, “I know, the reason you chose Jordan is because of the Steeles’ power abroad and their family’s secrets.”
“But as you’ve seen, Jordan is now blind and the Steeles didn’t even send anyone over.. Couldn’t they have even sent a doctor!?! I bet the Steeles have given Jordan Steele up!”
