Chapter 700


    Jordan and Hailey were from two different worlds. If not for the training mission arranged by his family,


    the two of them would never have been together.


    Rowan understood Jordan’s feelings. “Alright, I agree. I’ll tell Jesseter.”


    “Thank you, Dad,” Jordan said.


    A momentter, Jordan asked suddenly, “Dad, can I ask you a question?”


    Rowan nodded. “Go ahead.”


    Jordan continued. “Logically speaking, the Steele family head position should be passed down from


    one generation to the next. Grandpa should have passed it to you first, and then you can pass it on to


    me or Jesse. Why did Grandpa skip you? I can see that your rtionship with Grandpa is quite good.


    Moreover, you’ve always been quite obedient to Grandpa. You’ve also done quite well under Grandpa’s


    arrangements. You are not estranged from him at all.


    “Besides, in terms of ability, I don’t think you are inferior to us.”


    Rowan was not a fool. Anyone could tell he was a capable man so Jordan could not understand why


    Charleston did not favor him.


    At Rowan’s current age, he was the most suitable candidate to be the head of the Steele family. He


    would have more gravitas when dealing with other families.


    Rowan smiled. “Thank you for your recognition, child. However, I’m not interested in being the head of


    the Steele family. I mentioned this to Grandpa many years ago. I told him that the head of the family


    should be directly passed onto your generation.”


    “Huh? Why? Dad, why don’t you have the fighting spirit? Did something happen to you?” Jordan asked


    curiously.


    Rowan sighed. “Many years ago, when your uncle Randall was still alive, the two of us fought fiercely


    over who would be the sessor. Our battles were a hundred times more intense than those between


    you and your brothers. However,ter on, he died because of me. I’ve always felt guilty and believed


    that I had let him down. Therefore, I swore not to fight for power anymore and gave up the position of


    the head of the Steele family.


    “Don’t think that I’m old and boring now. When I was young, I was even more popr than Jamie. I was


    also a yboy. I still remember that I once asked the Deity to teach me a trick to pick up girls. It’s the


    ‘voodoo’ technique that you recently learned. Sigh, now that I think about it, I’ve let down many good


    girls!”


    Jordan was shocked by Rowan’s confession. His father, who appeared to have no worldly desires and


    was steady and calm, was actually a yboy who was even wilder than Jamie when he was young?


    Not only that, he was even more obsessed with power and winning the position of the family head than


    Jesse?


    Jordan had always prided himself on being a good judge of people. No one could escape his eyes. But


    now, it seemed that he was still too inexperienced. He didn’t even understand his father.


    Jordan asked in confusion, “How did Uncle die because of you? It was Shaun Handley who killed him!”


    “Shaun Handley? What do you mean?” Rowan frowned.


    Jordan quickly exined, “Looks like Grandpa didn’t tell you about this. After we saved Tom Schmid


    and his wife, Tom said that when Shaun Handley first came to them, he was with Uncle Randall.


    Moreover, he also said that Uncle Randall was being controlled by Shaun with evil techniques then.


    Uncle Randall was not himself at all at that time!”


    Boom!


    There was an explosion in Rowan’s head like thunder!


    Rowan, who had always been calm and steady, suddenly became very agitated. He grabbed Jordan’s


    clothes and asked hysterically, “What did you say? Randall was being controlled? He was controlled by


    Shaun Handley? He was not himself at that time?”


    Jordan nodded affirmatively. “Yes!”


    Rowan sighed. “Ah! I should have seen it back then! Why would Randall be so vicious toward me?!


    Why would he fight with me so ferociously?! So it was all Shaun Handley’s doing all along! Ah!! Shaun


    Handley! You killed my brother and made me feel guilty for so many years. Demon! Demon!”


    At this moment, Jordan finally knew the truth behind his father.


    Previously, Jordan thought that he had triggered a grudge between the Steele and Handley families by


    killing Shaun’s mother.


    But he then found out that many years ago, Shaun had caused his uncle’s death!

    Now, he realized that the incident also caused his father to think that he was the murderer. Rowan felt


    guilty and sank into oblivion, causing the Steele family to have no sessor in the second generation.


    That was why his performance had been inferior to the other seven families over the past decades!


    “Damn you, Shaun! I’ll definitely tear you into pieces!”


    Jordan clenched his fists and said to Rowan, “Dad, don’t worry. I will definitely kill that demon with my


    own hands!”


    Rowan was also furious. “Good, my good son! You can do it! You can definitely do it! You must avenge


    your uncle!”


    Jordan nodded. “Yes!”


    …


    Meanwhile, Victoria, Lauren and Hailey were in the female washroom.


    Hailey handed a couple of ck veils to the other two. “Victoria, Lauren, here are your veils.”


    Although she should be in mourning, Hailey was smiling happily. “Victoria, Lauren, from now on, we’re


    family! I’m the youngest, so I’ll be the third wife. Don’t worry. I won’t keep hogging our husband. Just


    give me one day a week, hehe.”


    Victoria and Lauren were speechless from disdain. They never expected that they would be a


    family with a woman like Hailey!


    Victoria asked, “Hailey, what did you do to Jordan’s grandfather during your stay in the castle? Why did


    he ask you to marry Jordan before he died?”


    In response, Hailey quickly said, “Victoria, what do you mean by that? Do you think I gave Grandpa


    some bewitching drug? I just did my job as a servant in the castle. Grandpa must have seen my good


    attitude and forgiven me.


    “Besides, why can’t I marry Jordan again? I gave birth to a son for him. Did you two give him any sons?


    My son will inherit the Steele family business in the future. Grandpa must have wanted my son to grow


    up in aplete family. That’s why he wanted us to get back together!”


    Victoria snorted. “Grandpa won’t even give the current family head position to Jordan. The position will


    never be passed down to your son. That’s definitely not the reason. It must be you. I don’t know what


    despicable methods you used again!”


    Hailey was infuriated. “What despicable means can I use? Jordan’s grandfather is already 80 years old.


    I can’t possibly have used my body to seduce him, right?”


    Seeing the argument be more heated, Lauren tried to smooth over the situation. “Alright, alright,


    stop arguing. Since Grandpa has decided, Hailey, please behave yourself in the future. Don’t be like


    before.”


    Hailey was still annoyed. “Lauren, what do you mean by that? What do you mean “behave myself”?


    What kind of behavior are you referring to?!”
