Chapter 397
“What nonsense is Lauren’s mother up to again?”
Jordan frowned, knowing that his new mother-inw hated him because of Brad. However, he didn’t
expect her to embarrass him at his wedding.
Marissa, who was also dressed to the nines today, said to the guests with a microphone in hand.
“Everyone, thank you foring to attend the wedding of my daughter, Lauren, and son-inw, Jordan.
There may be some of you who don’t know that Lauren is marrying her live-in husband, Jordan Steele
today!”
Salvatore and Tim were immediately displeased.
“Why must that old hag emphasize that Mr. Jordan is marrying Lauren as a live-in husband? Isn’t she
obviously out to embarrass Mr. Jordan!?”
Despite the awkward situation, Jordan had a calm look on his face but he wasn’t bothered by the looks
that the crowd was giving him. Only the poor would be concerned if others thought they were poor. The
rich wouldn’t care what others thought of them.
Marissa continued, “Of course, this son-inw of mine is very outstanding himself and he used to be
the president of a listedpany who has had his heyday.”
The guests began discussing among themselves and many of them did not know exactly what
company Jordan was the president of before.
Marissa said, “Since he’s going to be my daughter’s live-in husband, the wedding is naturally going to
be a little different from a normal wedding. As Lauren’s mother, I naturally have some requirements for
my son-inw.
“First, after you marry into our family, you’ll be responsible for cooking all three meals for my daughter
and granddaughter every single day. You also have to take care of their daily necessities. Are you
willing to do that?”
Jordan had been doing that for three years prior to this so he nodded and said simply, “Yes, I’m willing.”
Marissa continued, “Second, after you marry into the Howards, you mustn’t have friends of the opposite
sex. You must be home by ten at night and you can’t go out for meals or watch movies with the
opposite sex. Are you willing to ept that?”
Upon hearing her words, many of the guests burst intoughter. ‘Does the Howards’ son-inw have to
follow such rules?’
Jordan was speechless but he nevertheless nodded and said, “I’m willing.”
“Third, after marrying my daughter, you may not go through my daughter’s cell phone, diary, and other
personal, private belongings without her permission. My daughter can have meals and watch movies
with the opposite sex as she pleases, and you are not to have any objections.”
As soon as she named the third condition, everyone was in an uproar.
“Damn it, these requirements are really harsh. Doesn’t this just mean that the man can’t have any
interaction with the opposite sex except for his wife while the woman can see any man as she
pleases?”
“Yes, Miss Howard can stay out all night and her husband can’t even question her about it. Isn’t that too
unfair on him?”
“Hehe, told ya it isn’t that easy being the live-in husband of the Howards.”
Before Jordan could speak, Lauren flew into a rage on the stage and she hissed, “Mom, what kind of
conditions are those?”
Lauren was infuriated because the wedding, which was originally supposed to be romantic, was ruined
by her mother.
Marissa was making it sound like Lauren would really stay out with other men and cheat on Jordan
after they got married. She had a vague feeling that the guests at the wedding were already looking at
her that way.
Martin was just as exasperated. “Marissa, what are you trying to do!?! What nonsense are you
spouting!?! Stefan, quickly drag your wife down the stage, and don’t let her embarrass us any further!”
Brad, who was seated in a wheelchair, startedughing because he knew that his mother had
deliberately said those words to irk Jordan.
“Haha, it would be awesome if Lauren could make a cuckold of Jordan Steele. Hahaha.”
Brad knew that Jordan’s ex-wife, Hailey, had cheated on him so if he were to face the same thing again
in his second marriage, he’d probably break down.
At this moment, Stefan slowly got up and acknowledged, “Yes, Dad.”
Just as Stefan was about to go on stage to pull Marissa down, a beautiful guest suddenly stood up and
hollered at the stage.
“Jordan Steele, you’re such a good-for-nothing! You’re the scion of the Steeles, what are you bing
someone else’s husband for? You’re an embarrassment!”
The person who spoke was Hailey!
“Hailey Camden?”
When Jordan saw Hailey, he froze for a moment, not expecting that he would run into his ex-wife on
the day of his wedding!
Hailey’s words made the scene extremely lively again.
“Hey, who are you? How dare you disrupt the wedding hosted by the Howards? You’re really brazen,
huh?”
“This woman is super pretty, is she here to crash the wedding?”
At this moment, Salvatore rushed over and grabbed Hailey in a bid to drag her away.
Struggling to break free, Hailey eximed, “Let go of me! Jordan Steele has ruined my wedding twice.
Why can’t I take revenge on him!?!”
Jordan couldn’t help but recall how Hailey and Tyler’s wedding had been disrupted and terminated
halfway by Jordan’s appearance, as well as the revtion of his identity as the chairman of the Ace
Corporation.
When she married Cayden, her wedding was also ruined because of Jordan’s exposure of Cayden’s
scandal, which led to Cayden being stabbed.
It seemed that Hailey wanted to take revenge on Jordan!
Jordan walked down the stage and said to Hailey, “Hailey Camden, you’re out of your mind. What are
you doing here?”
Throwing her head back in confidence, Hailey said, “Why can’t Ie here? I gave birth to a son for
you and you didn’t even inform me that you’re getting married. What if you abandon me and our son in
the future?”
There was an even greatermotion as soon as she said that.
“What? The groom has a child with this woman? So she’s his ex-wife!”
“Far out, this guy is very lucky with women. His ex-wife and fiancee are both stunning beauties!”
“Haha, things are getting exciting now. I wonder how this is going to end.”
At this moment, the bride, Lauren, suddenly spoke up slowly.
“Miss Hailey Camden, hello, I’m very d to see you here. It’s my mistake to have not given you an
invitation personally. As for your child with my husband, please rest assured that I’ll treat him as my
own child and provide him with the best living conditions. I’m making this promise as a Howard.”
The guests gasped in awe and surprise.
“She’s really worthy of being a Howard. How magnanimous!”
“Although Lauren and Hailey Camden are both gorgeous, they’re worlds apart when ites to
manners, graciousness, mannerisms, and temperament!”
“Hah, how can a woman from a third-tier family in a second-tier citypare with the greatest beauty
of DC?”
“You…” Hailey was at a loss for words.
She hated how magnanimous Lauren was because she felt that it made her seem petty and
hypocritical!
At this moment, Brad had already arrived at Hailey’s table in his wheelchair. He dragged Hailey back to
his seat and barked, “Hailey Camden, are you nuts? How dare you ruin my sister’s wedding? You’d
better sit down, or I’ll take back the 230 million dors that I gave you!”
Having no other choice, Hailey bit her lip and took her seat obediently.

At this moment, Martin walked onto the stage himself to calm everyone down and cease the
commotion. The moment he spoke, order was restored and the originally chaotic scene instantly
became silent!
No one dared to speak again and some even covered their children’s mouths, for fear that they would
spout nonsense!
That was how tyrannical Martin was!
