Chapter 455


    “Mother-inw, since you admit that you harmed me, don’t me me for drugging you! I hope you were


    just making false ims in a fit of anger. If it’s true…”


    A ruthless expression appeared on Jordan’s face. Marissa was Lauren’s mother, and Lauren was his


    wife. She was the woman he cared about the most other than Victoria. If Marissa was really behind


    this, Jordan would not kill her.


    However, he would definitely punish her enough so that she would never be able to hurt him again!


    At this moment, Lauren, who had run out of Marissa’s room crying, didn’t return to Jordan’s room.


    Instead, she went to the washroom.


    She called Brad while crying.


    “Brad, did you know that Mommy poisoned Jordan? Did you do it with Mommy?” Lauren questioned


    Brad.


    Brad was confused. “Lauren, what are you talking about? What do you mean by Mommy poisoned


    Jordan?”


    Lauren said in tears, “Mommy told me herself that she poisoned Jordan to blind him!”


    Brad was also shocked. “What? How is that possible? She doesn’t even dare to kill a chicken. She only


    pped Jordan to vent her anger. How would she be so ruthless? Don’t you know our mother’s


    personality? Did you quarrel with her again? Is that why she said that?”


    Lauren’s tears stopped. “Yes.”


    Brad said, “Sigh, did you really think our mother is a criminal? You’re really something.”


    Lauren thought about it carefully. She also felt that her mother had said those words in a fit of anger. It


    was true that she had been truly worried if Marissa had really harmed Jordan. What would she do


    then?


    On one side was her mother and on the other was her husband. Lauren would be stuck in a dilemma,


    simr to Victoria then.


    Now, she knew that her mother was just deliberately angering her. Lauren wiped her tears and returned


    to her room.


    “Lauren, why are you crying?”


    Jordan looked at Lauren’s red eyes and reached out to massage them.


    There was no need for Jordan to pretend to be blind in a room with only the two of them.


    Lauren denied it. “I am not.”


    She did not n to tell Jordan what had just happened.


    However, Jordan already knew.

    Jordan knew that Lauren was caught in a dilemma at that moment, so he did not probe further.


    “Let’s go to sleep, honey.”


    ‘Taking Lauren’s hand, Jordan coaxed Lauren to sleep. He wanted to drug Marissa, and would only


    have the chance to do so after his wife fell asleep.


    Jordan knew that Marissa would be sleeping veryte tonight because she would be busy choosing her


    “next son-inw”. She was going to gather personal information on all her candidates. She would sort


    them out and show them to Martin.


    With Marissa’s efficiency, she would probably be busy until 2 am.


    Marissa and Lauren were both women who took a long time to do things. Even when just preparing to


    leave the house, they would take a long time to prepare.


    Putting on makeup, choosing the right clothes and the right essories, cooking or doing other things


    —they moved at half the speed of others.


    Soon, it was 12:30 am.


    ‘At this moment, almost everyone else in Martin’s house was asleep.


    Lauren had also fallen asleep.


    Only the light in Marissa’s bedroom was still on.


    Jordan and Marissa’s rooms were on the second floor. Moreover, they were not far from each other, so


    Jordan was well aware of Marissa’s activity and whereabouts.


    Not long after, Marissa came out of her room, seemingly wanting to take a shower. She had changed


    out of her pants and top that held Jordan’s listening device. Following her shower, she changed into red


    silk pajamas.


    As it waste at night and everyone was asleep, Marissa did not bother about her clothes. She did not


    even button up her top two buttons.


    If aman were to see this middle-aged woman, his nose would probably start bleeding.


    Marissa was very beautiful when she was young, very simr to Lauren now.


    Putting aside any biased opinions against Marissa and her character, it must be acknowledged that she


    was really one of the most attractive women in their forties.


    ‘When Jordan saw Marissa bringing her clothes to the bathroom, he immediately walked out of his


    room quietly.


    This time, Jordan was even more careful than before. To the Howard family, Jordan was blind and


    could not see anything. He was not supposed to be able to move about on his own. Therefore, he


    could not let anyone see himing out of his room. Otherwise, his cover would be blown!


    Jordan pushed the door open and walked in after Marissa left her room.


    ‘The light in the room was switched on. Jordan nced around casually and realized that there was a


    teapot and a teacup on her desk.


    Jordan guessed that with Marissa’s poor efficiency level, she probably had not finished tidying up her


    documents. She would have to continue working after her shower.


    Therefore, Marissa would definitely drink more tea when she returned.


    He just had to put the drug in the teapot.


    With a wicked smile, Jordan walked over to the desk. He could not help taking a look at the documents


    there. “My mother-inw dallies so much that she’ll probably take an hour just to shower. There’s no


    need for me to rush out.”


    Jordan saw Cayden’s information first. It clearly stated his height, weight, education, family


    background, etcetera. In addition, Marissa had even added her personal evaluation of these


    “prospective sons-inws”.


    Marissa’s evaluation of Cayden was: Very outstanding!


    “Very outstanding?”


    Jordan was very jealous when he saw herments. Marissa kept saying that Jordan was useless


    and looked down on him. She would probably say that he amounted to nothing.


    Meanwhile, she had never even met Cayden before, but she found him very outstanding?


    What was so outstanding about him?


    Divorcee? Affair with a minor celebrity? Infertile?


    “Hmph, if my mother-inw knows that Cayden is infertile, I wonder if she will still think that he is very


    outstanding!”


    Jordan scoffed and continued to look at the rest.


    “Matthew Manning? His family background is not bad. His father is still young and has a bright future.


    He has resources and abilities that I don’t have in this country. But isn’t this guy just a high school


    student? Why does he look like he’s still underage? How could Marissa bear to target a child!


    “Who’s next, Henry Zeller? The son of the wealthiest man in Ondo? Aren’t I the wealthiest man in


    Ondo? Why have I never heard of a Zeller family in Ondo? All-round genius? Hehe.”


    Marissa’s evaluations of Matthew and Henry were also excellent.


    In addition, there were more than a dozen other men. Most of them were children from good families in


    the country. They were all under 25 years old. Apart from Cayden, who had been married once, the


    rest had never married before.


    It seemed that Marissa had deliberately lowered her ss criteria so that she could marry Lauren off.


    This was because the Howard family was one of the elite families in the country. In the eyes of the


    families of the same level as the Howard family, Lauren was a married woman with a child. She was no


    longer a worthy match for men of her age from those families.


    But for the Huxley family, it would definitely be a possible match. The Huxleys would never dare to look


    down on Lauren for being married and with a child.


    Just as Jordan was engrossed in reading the information, he suddenly heard light footsteps.


    “The sound of those slippers… oh no, my mother-inw ising back!”
