The Abandoned Husband Dominates Novel - Chapter 637

Chapter 637: Can’t Endure Being Forced To Be Humble!

Jesse’s words were filled with jealousy.

It was no wonder. A few years ago, when Jordan was still immature and worrying about a vain woman like Hailey, Jesse already knew about the family secret. At that time, Jesse had taken on the responsibility of being the successor of the Steele family, to achieve glory for the family and save it from disaster.

Over the past few years, Jesse tried his best to build a good relationship with the major families. But apart from that, he had no other concrete achievements.

As everyone knew, a “good relationship” was meaningless. No matter how good your relationship with someone was, if you were of no value to them, they wouldn’t care about you.

As for Jordan, in the short period since he completed his training missions and learned about the family secret, he had uncovered the secrets of the Park, Miyamoto and Schmid families!

He had accomplished what Jesse had failed to do in the past few years!

If there was a “Steele family heir” scoreboard, Jordan’s score would definitely surpass Jesse’s!

How could Jesse stay calm?

Jordan knew that Jesse was jealous of him. If it were any other time, Jordan wouldn’t mind arguing with him, but the Steeles were being targeted by the other seven families now. Jordan didn’t want to participate in internal strife and disappoint his grandfather.

Ignoring Jesse, he walked over to Butler Frank and asked, “Where’s Grandpa?”

Butler Frank bowed respectfully. “Mr. Steele Senior is upstairs.”

Jordan walked up the stairs to his grandfather’s room.

Knock-knock.

“Grandpa, it’s me.”

Jordan knocked on the door.

However, Charleston did not respond. Hence, Jordan pushed the door open and entered. He realized that Charleston was on the phone.

Jordan walked over but did not say anything. He just stood quietly and listened to his grandfather’s call.

Charleston was fawning into the phone, “It’s rare for London to have such good weather, so I would like to invite you to my castle to admire my garden. I remember that you like our ‘Sun Moon Hibiscus’. This flower transforms three times a day. It’s like a lotus flower emerging from the water, incomparably gorgeous. It is in bloom these few days and is filled with flowers. It’s quite a spectacular sight. We can admire the flowers while enjoying some tea.

“Oh, if you’re not free, I can come over to look for you. We can play a game of chess. I haven’t gone against your superb chess skills in a long time! Oh, you’re not free? Alright then. Let’s meet in Morocco in a few days.”

Charleston hung up in disappointment.

This was the first time Jordan had seen his grandfather so humble. Charleston always held his head high in front of Jordan and the others. Jordan had never seen his grandfather bow down to anyone. Jordan asked, “Grandpa, who were you talking to?”

Charleston replied, “Mr. Addington.”

The Addington family was a secret family in England!

Charleston said, “Sigh, I was thinking of meeting Mr. Addington in advance before the great meeting to chat and get his support. Unfortunately, he doesn’t want to see me. It looks like he won’t support the Steele family this time.”

Jordan couldn’t help clenching his fists. The Addington family and the Steeles were both in England now. It could be said that they were very close. Both were part of the eight secret families in the world. It should be a normal thing for them to meet each other.

However, even though Charleston had begged so humbly, the Addington family still refused to meet him! They clearly looked down on the Steele family! They didn’t want to see Charleston!

Fists tight, Jordan felt very upset for his grandfather’s sake. He could tolerate having to act humble himself, but he could not bear to see his grandfather being forced to behave in this manner!

‘Those arrogant Addingtons. If I’m really a Deity, I’ll see if you still dare to reject my grandfather!’

Jordan was furious.

Previously, he had been a little hesitant about being a Deity. If he was a Deity, it meant that he had the ability to predict the future. It also indirectly meant that he and Hailey would get married again!

But now, Jordan would rather reconcile with that cheating b*tch than see his grandfather hold his head so low!

Charleston calmed himself down and smiled at Jordan. “By the way, the location of the great meeting has been confirmed. It’s in Chefchaouen, Morocco. This is your first time participating in the great meeting. You must be very excited.”

Chefchaouen. Jordan had been to this city before. It was a city in northwestern Morocco. The doors, steps and walls of the houses there were all painted blue.

It was like a fairytale world.

“Cough, cough…”

Charleston suddenly coughed violently.

Jordan hurriedly supported Charleston. “Grandpa, why did your condition worsen again? Didn’t our family’s medical team treat you?”

Charleston said, “They did treat me. But I’m afraid this is fate. No matter how advanced our technology is, it can’t compete with fate. Child, Grandpa might…”

Jordan hurriedly said, “No, Grandpa, you will definitely live past 100 years old!”

Charleston smiled and patted Jordan’s head dotingly. “Okay, okay.”

Although he knew that his days were numbered, he was unwilling to let his grandson worry.

Jordan said, “Grandpa, you’re not well. Don’t go to Morocco. Jesse and I will go.”

Charleston shook his head. “It’s your first time there. The people from the other families don’t know you, and your brother also failed to establish a presence over the past few years. I must go. By the way, you said you brought Lota back with you?”

Jordan nodded. “Yes, she’s admiring the flowers outside. She might have already come in.”

Charleston nodded. “Although Lota is a child, she has appeared at the previous two meetings. She is a woman with authority and the right to speak. We can’t underestimate her. Quick, help me down to greet her.”

….

Lota had just arrived at the hall of the Steele Castle.

“Jordan,” Lota called out excitedly as she entered the hall. Instead of Jordan, she saw Jesse.

Jesse had been sitting on the sofa, looking very moody, but the moment he saw Lota, he got up.

He walked towards Lota and bowed respectfully. “Ah! The honorable Miss Schmid! I’m very happy that you can visit our humble abode! It’s our family’s incomparable honor! We’ve met twice before at the previous two great meetings. I wonder if Miss Schmid remembers me?”

Lota looked at Jesse and smiled. “I remember. You’re Jordan’s eldest brother, Jesse.”

Jesse was very pleased. “It’s a great honor to be remembered by the Swiss Holy Maiden!”

Just then, Jordan was helping Charleston down the stairs. He happened to see Jesse groveling in front of Lota like a servant and he couldn’t resist speaking up.

“Big brother, Lota is just a child. Do you have to grovel before her like that?”
