The Abandoned Husband Dominates Novel - Chapter 485
Chapter 485 The Steele Family Status!
England, London, One Whitehall Place.
Jordan and Lauren were sitting in a world-class luxury gold carriage, 6.6 m long and over three tonnes in weight, pulled along by six horses!
Everywhere they passed, people would salute and take photos.
Mustering up her courage, Lauren waved at the crowd outside the carriage.
She looked like the Queen of England!
It was a good thing that Lauren had drunk a little at the bar. Otherwise, she would definitely be too embarrassed to do this!
Too pretentious!
Lauren was so happy that she didn’t know what to do. She said to Jordan, “Hubby, pinch my face.”
Jordan was confused. “What for?”
“I feel like I’m in a dream now. Everything doesn’t seem real. It’s just… too perfect! I never thought that I would receive such treatment in England!”
Jordan smiled. “Honey, pinching your face won’t hurt enough. Why don’t I pinch another part of you? I guarantee that you’ll be in so much pain that you’ll instantly be able to tell if this is real or a dream.”
Lauren gave Jordan a light smack, feeling rather bashful. “You’re so naughty. There are so many people watching us. Don’t mess around!”
However, Jordan was indifferent. He hugged Lauren boldly and said, “What’s there to be afraid of? This is our territory. Even if we want to fool around in this carriage, who would dare to object? If you’re shy and worried about the crowd, I can get someone to clear the area. I promise that in ten minutes, there won’t be a single person or car on these two streets.”
Lauren knew that Jordan was not bragging. She leaned on his shoulder. “There’s no need. Thank you, Hubby. I’m so happy…”
After seeing Jordan and Lauren board the carriage, Zara and Brad quickly got into Fanny’s Rolls-Royce. They said to the driver, “Follow the golden carriage in front!”
However, the expensive Rolls-Royce was stopped by the royal guards the moment it approached Jordan’s golden carriage.
“You’re not allowed to get so close to the golden carriage!”
Zara rolled down the window and explained to the royal guards, “Sir, don’t block us. We’re with Mr. and Mrs. Steele!”
There were eight coachmen on Jordan’s golden carriage. Three at the front and three at the back. In addition, there were another two following right behind the carriage.
One of them went forward and knocked on the carriage window. “Mr. Steele, there’s a white Rolls-Royce behind. They are saying that they are with you. Do you allow them to follow?”
Jordan arranged this trip specially to prove a point to Fanny and the rest. Of course he had to let them follow him.
“Let them follow behind the carriage,” Jordan instructed.
“Yes, my lord!”
With Jordan’s permission, Fanny’s Rolls-Royce was able to follow behind the carriage. As they were with Jordan’s golden carriage, their car could also bypass red lights. On top of that, they were also being cheered on by the people on the streets.
Zara was extremely excited. “Ah! This feels so good! I feel like a princess being welcomed by commoners!”
From beside her, Beatrice kept taking photos as well. “If I tell my friends that I was able to bypass the red lights on the streets of London and have the royal guards clear the way for us, they will
definitely be so envious of me!”
Zara and the rest were all from good families. But their status in their hometown counted for nothing in a foreign land. One couldn’t be arrogant overseas. You could be arrested for even a minor offense and none of your connections back home would be able to help you.
Therefore, even affluent people like Zara would usually be very well-behaved overseas. They had never experienced such treatment!
Thanks to Jordan, they were able to experience an unparalleled treatment today!
In the golden carriage, Lauren asked Jordan, “Hubby, how did you manage to borrow this golden carriage from the Queen of England?”
Jordan was confused.
Borrow?
Jordan said, “Look above the window and see what’s written there.”
Puzzled, Lauren craned her neck to take a look. She was instantly shocked. “Steele!”
The word “Steele” was inscribed inside the carriage in beautiful script!
Lauren was shocked. “Is this your family’s carriage?”
Jordan nodded and said, “That’s right. This is our family’s golden carriage, not the Queen of England’s.” Lauren didn’t understand. “Why does the Steele family also have a golden carriage? Isn’t this exclusive to the royal family?”
Jordan explained, “My grandfather left the US a few years ago. He wanted to find somewhere overseas to enjoy his later years. At the time, my grandfather wanted to go to places like England, France, Germany, Switzerland, etc. “As you know, my grandfather has a lot of money. When these countries learned that my grandfather was looking for somewhere overseas to settle down, they offered all sorts of benefits to attract my grandfather. They wanted him to settle down in their country.”
Lauren listened seriously. Jordan’s grandfather was a big shot. Lauren had heard from her grandfather that Charleston’s assets could rival the wealth of a whole country! Therefore, these countries would definitely think of ways to get Charleston to come over. It would be a huge benefit to their country’s economy!
Noone could say that Lauren wasn’t smart. She asked, “So England offered this golden carriage to the Steeles as one of the benefits?”
Jordan smiled and nodded. “That’s right. England specially built this golden carriage for the Steele family. It’s even more luxurious than the Queen of England’s! As long as we are in this carriage, we can travel freely in England! Moreover, all the local police officers have to cooperate and protect us.”
Lauren was a little shocked. She thought that Jordan had borrowed this carriage from the Queen of England. Only now did she realize that this carriage belonged to the Steeles!
It belonged to her husband’s family!
This was their carriage!
“Our carriage…”
At that moment, Lauren had never felt more like the Queen of England!
The carriage soon arrived at a bar called LH & Nomad. It came to a stop.
Jordan held Lauren’s hand and descended from the carriage slowly. Fanny, Zara and Beatrice quickly got out of the car and walked over.
Jordan pointed at the door. “Look, this is one of the top five bars in London, the Nomad Bar. LH was added to the name, signifying Lauren Howard. There’s a photo of her below too. If you don’t believe me, let’s go in now and order whatever expensive alcohol you want. I promise you won’t have to spend a single
cent.”
Zara said in a hurry, “I believe you. We believe you. Jordan, you can even ride a golden carriage. Buying a few bars would be nothing to you. Right, Fanny?”
Fanny looked embarrassed. She bit her lip as she looked at the shiny LH letters. In contrast to the smugness she had shown earlier, now she looked like she had just eaten a mouthful of shit!
