Chapter 423 Completing The Business Trial!
Jordan asked in surprise, "Mr. Howard Sr., how did you guess that it was my second brother who
did it? How much do you know about him?"
Martin smiled and said, "Ever since he took my granddaughter away from New York City and threw
her onto a ne just to make you sleep with her once, I knew that Jamie was the one behind all the
conspiracies."
"Jordan, do you know why Jamie did this to you?"
Jordan sighed and then shook his head. "1 don''t know. I''m on pretty good terms with Jamie.
Although we rarely meet, he has always been nice to me. Even if we''re half-siblings, there''s no
need for us to kill him if he doesn''t treat me as a brother."
"Our family''s assets are enough for all seven of us and each of us will have an endless amount of
wealth. He has no reason to do this."
To his surprise, Martin chuckled after hearing his words. "Do you want to know why he did this to
you?"
Jordan was stunned. Based on what Martin said, he seemed to know the reason! But how could an
outsider like him know the reason!?!
"Do you know?" Jordan was bewildered.

Martin nodded and said, "He does want to harm you topete with you but he''s notpeting
with you for the inheritance of assets but your family''s secret!"
Jordan was immediately shocked. This old man did know that the Steeles had unknown family
secrets!
After thinking through it carefully, Jordan felt that Martin''s words were very reasonable. There was
no need for Jamie to vie for the billions of dors of assets because he could have any amount of
money he wanted.
Jesse and Jordan didn''t value money because their thoughts had already be transcendent. No
matter how much money they had, they were just numbers that they couldn''t use.
Hence, if they were going to fight, it must be because of the family''s secret!
Jesse had told Jordan that Jamie might have already found out about the family''s secrets. Hence,
Jamie had every reason to go after Jordan!
However, these were all matters of the Steeles and there was no need for Jordan to tell an outsider
much about it.
Jordanughed and said, "Mr. Howard Sr., you seem to be very interested in my family''s secrets. If
I''m not wrong, you must have asked me to marry your granddaughter so that you could use her to
get hold of my family''s secret, huh!?!"
However, Martin didn''t hide it at all. "Of course! I would never shortchange myself. If the Steeles
didn''t have such great power and this secret that makes me curious... Not to mention that you
already have a daughter with Lauren. Even if you had ten, I would never let you marry her."
Jordan humphed coldly and eximed, "You can try!"
Martin said, "You are a smart person. There''s no need for me to lie to you. It''s extremely normal for
humans to be selfish. Why should I bother hiding? Jordan, I hope you won''t reject me because of
this. I just want to know what your family''s secret is.
"I have no intention to snatch your family''s secret. Besides, we''re a family and Chloe is both yours
and my descendant. No matter what your family''s secret is, I will stand by your side and support
you.
"My agenda is very simple. If you take the power of the Steeles and if this family secret can benefit
the Howards, I hope you''ll help my children and allow them to get some glory too. I am a dying man
whose days are numbered. I definitely won''t harbor any malicious intentions towards you."
Martin sounded very sincere.
It was normal for him to be curious. Jordan was filled with curiosity himself too!
Jordan nodded and said, "Yes, but you mustplete all of the trials given by the family before
you''re qualified to find out. I haven''t evenpleted the business trial yet so God knows how many
years it will take for me to get ess to it. So Mr. Howard Sr., don''t me me if you can''t wait until
that day."
Martin began to panic a little. It was really difficult to say if an elderly man like him who was sick,
could really wait till that day. In his lifetime, Martin had enjoyed all sorts of luxuries, so before dying,
he wanted to know what Charleston Steele''s secret was.
Otherwise, he probably wouldn''t die a peaceful death.
Martin said, "Jordan, don''t me me for criticizing you. Ever since you ended your three-year
experience as a live-in husband, you''ve been troubled with love. You were either messily involved
with your ex-wife Hailey, or because of your child and your betrayal. You two were in such a terrible
conflict. Either that or you were obsessed with Victoria and enjoyed yourself with her traveling in the
mountains.
"Now, because of Lauren and Chloe''s affair, you''re focusing your attention on how many men
Lauren used to date. Men shouldn''t be tied up by these emotional matters all day long. You should
focus on the trials given by your family!"
Martin was right about that.
Jordan also felt that if he had stopped caring about Hailey after divorcing her and focused on
developing the Ace Corporation as part of his business trial instead of taking revenge, he might
have alreadypleted it by now!
Jordan nodded. "You''re right. I''ve already decided that I''m not going to think about these messy
things anymore and focus onpleting the business trial!"
Martin smiled and said, "That''s right! Family secrets are the most important. Since Jamie isn''t
hesitating to harm his brother for this, that just goes to prove that it''s even more attractive than the
wealth of billions of dors! As long as you have this secret and be the sessor of the
Steeles, you can have the whole world!"
"Once I finish the trial and find out the secret, I will understand why Victoria''s father disappeared for
such a long time..." Jordan muttered under his breath.
After thinking about it, Jordan said somewhat pessimistically, "Previously, my business was
considered extremely sessful but I didn''t get my grandfather''s approval."
Martin nodded and said, "That''s naturally the case because the Ace Corporation sprung up in a
short period of time because of money. Thepanies under it were all very sessful and you
merely bought them with money. Of course, you couldn''t have gotten your grandfather''s recognition
with that."
"Jordan, your grandfather''s business trial is not meant for you to build the greatestpany in the
country, nor is he particr about the amount of profit you make. He is still mainly training your
ability to run a business, shape your personality, and hone your ability to resist blows and find
opportunities in various situations.
"Now that your assets have been frozen, you have nothing to your name and you''re being watched.
If you can make a name for yourself and make impressive achievements in business under such
circumstances... I believe that your grandfather will be very surprised and he''ll definitely approve of
you and conclude that you''ve sessfullypleted your trial!"
