Chapter 499 - Stefan’s Affair!
Chapter 499 Stefan’s Affair!
Over one night, Marissa had gone from extreme joy to extreme fear. Now that she was finally saved, she was so emotional that she couldn’t stop crying.
After getting rid of the gangsters, Chimera walked to Marissa and asked, “You’re Mr. Jordan’s mother-in-law, right?” Marissa’s hands and feet were tied, so she could not wipe her tears. She nodded repeatedly. “Yes, I’m Jordan’s mother-in-law, Marissa. Thank you for saving us.”
Chimera smiled and took out a dagger. He cut the ropes on Marissa’s body and handed her a packet of tissue to wipe her tears. He then untied the other ladies.
They all thanked Chimera profusely.
These middle-aged women rarely met a man as tall as Chimera. They were also very impressed by his skills just now.
Marissa asked Chimera, “Mister, what is your name?”
Chimera answered respectfully, “I am called Chimera. I’m Mr. Jesse’s subordinate. I’m here on his orders to save you.”
“Jesse?”
Marissa was stunned. Why was it Jordan’s brother, Jesse? Why wasn’t it Jordan who saved her?
“Damn you, Jordan. How dare you not send someone to save me? I thought this tall and mighty man was Jordan’s subordinate!” Marissa had been very grateful to Jordan earlier. But now, her gratitude had vanished in an instant.
“I’ll take you all out of here,” Chimera continued.
Chimera drove them back to downtown London.
Marissa’s friends were all frightened. They didn’t dare to stay in England anymore. They hurriedly bought plane tickets and went straight to the airport.
Meanwhile, Chimera drove Marissa to Steele Castle.
Jordan, Lauren and Jesse were waiting in the living room. It was six in the morning when Marissa finally arrived at Steele Castle.
“Sir, I have completed the rescue mission!”
Chimera walked over and reported to Jesse.
“Mom!”
When Lauren saw Marissa following behind Chimera, she immediately ran over excitedly. Mother and daughter were so emotional that tears flowed freely. It was clear they both had a great fright.
Jordan walked over and asked in concern, “Mom, are you alright?”
When she saw Jordan, Marissa rolled her eyes in contempt!
“Hmph!”
Ignoring him, she walked towards Jesse first and smiled at him. “Hello, Jesse. We meet again. Do you still remember me?”
Jesse smiled. “Of course. You’re Jordan’s mother-in-law. We met at Jordan’s wedding previously. You’re so beautiful, how could I forget?” Marissa returned his smile. “Jesse, is Chimera your subordinate? Thank you so much for sending your man to such a dangerous place to save us. When I saw Chimera barging in alone to deal with so many people, I was really worried for him.”
Jesse laughed. “Aunty, don’t worry. This is just a small matter. Dealing with those criminals is nothing to Chimera. When I gave this mission to him, I especially instructed him not to let Aunty get hurt at all. I wonder if he managed it successfully? Were you injured at all?”
Marissa hurriedly waved her hands. “No, no! Those kidnappers didn’t even have the time to make a move on us. Chimera finished them off in just a few seconds! He’s too amazing!
“It’s all thanks to you that I was saved. Lauren, come over quickly and thank your brother-in-law!”
Jesse’s subordinate had saved them, so the credit naturally had to be given to him.
As a result, Jordan had become completely invisible. If Jordan had sent Dragon, he would have also been able to save Marissa!
Lauren walked over and thanked Jesse. “Thank you, Jesse. Thank you, Chimera.”
Jesse hurriedly said, “Mrs. Howard, Lauren, you’re treating me like an outsider. Jordan and I are brothers. His family is my family. As his elder brother, I won’t shirk my duty. By the way, Mrs. Howard, you had a major scare earlier. I’ve already asked the servants to prepare a rose bath for you. You can take a bath first to relax.”
Marissa was delighted. “Look at how considerate Jesse is. He even prepared a rose bath for me. Thank you so much. But I want to see Lauren’s father first. Isn’t he here too? Where is he now?”
Jesse said, “Oh, he’s probably still asleep. We didn’t want him to worry, so we didn’t wake him to tell him about your kidnapping. I’ll bring you to him.”
“Thank you.”
Marissa followed Jesse and arrived at Stefan’s room. After knocking several times on the door, there was no response from the inside.
“Is Dad not in the room?” Lauren asked curiously.
Jesse called the servants over and asked, “Is Mr. Howard in the room?”
“He went to Ms. Steele’s room,” the maid answered.
“Ms. Steele?”
Everyone was stunned.
Jordan’s sisters were not home. There were no Ms. Steeles in Steele Castle now.
‘He probably went to Aunt’s room.’ Jordan thought in his mind. He could tell that Stefan liked his aunt. In fact, he specially came to England for Jordan’s aunt! Jesse was also puzzled. “Could he have gone to Aunt’s room?”
Marissa immediately became very agitated. She grabbed Jesse’s arm and said, “Jesse, bring me to your aunt’s room. That b*stard, Stefan, must be there! I was curious as to why he insisted on coming to England? It’s because of a woman! He hasn’t given up on Ms. Steele!”
Marissa knew about Stefan and Jordan’s aunt’s story. She knew that the woman whom Stefan liked the most back then was Jordan’s aunt, not Marissa.
“Uh…”
Jesse was in a dilemma.
Marissa grabbed Jesse’s hand. She said in an agitated manner, “Please, bring me over. I promise I won’t cause trouble. I just want to see if that b*stard, Stefan, really did such a shameless thing!” Lauren quickly defended her father. “Mom, it’s not like that. Dad might have gone looking for Aunt for some innocent reason.”
“Alright, let’s go take a look then.”
Jesse led the way and arrived at his aunt’s floor. Just as he approached, he saw his aunt and Stefan walking out of the room.
They were holding hands like a couple, their faces brimming with happiness. When Marissa saw her husband holding hands with another woman, she broke down on the spot!
Stefan was so startled when he saw Marissa that he quickly let go of the aunt’s hand. “Ma… Marissa, why are you here?”.
