My Wasted Husband Is in Power, Now! novel Chapter 140

Jordan was stunned.

He thought that it was just an ordinary meal, but he didn't expect Victoria to confess her love to him at such a juncture.

Jordan wasn't a fool, so he definitely knew that Victoria carried a torch for him!

However, the relationships of adults are not the same as that of college students,

It was especially so after entering society and achieving a certain status.

Taking the initiative to confess her love to another man is really not easy for a 30-year-old woman.

Everyone knew Victoria had been in the business circle in Orlando for several years and had always treated men as playthings. She had never fallen in love with any man.

How could she possibly lower her status and take the initiative to confess her love for a man?

Jordan was touched, but when he looked at Victoria, wearing an ordinary T-shirt that accentuated her gorgeous figure, other thoughts surfaced in his head.

'Could Victoria have also guessed that I'm just staging my expulsion from the Steele family, just like what Elie thinks? Is she after our money?'

If it were the Jordan of three years ago, no, in fact, if it were the Jordan of one year ago...

Jordan might have kissed such an outstanding woman like Victoria without hesitation, especially since she admired him so much.

However, after experiencing a mercenary woman like Hailey, Jordan was no longer that simple!

He felt that there were too many materialistic women these days, regardless of their family background.

Rich and beautiful women from affluent families didn't lack money, so they wouldn't mind dating a poor man, but when it comes to marriage, they'll mostly only marry men whose backgrounds were compatible with theirs.

Meanwhile, many women from poor families would dream of changing their fate by marrying a wealthy man.

Victoria was older than Hailey and had been exposed to society and the workforce for many more years than she had. Thus, she was definitely better at scheming and using tricks to get what she wanted.

Even a woman like Hailey could deceive Jordan with Rachel's help.

If Victoria wanted to deceive Jordan, it would take even less effort.

Jordan couldn't see through Victoria!

He didn't know if Victoria really fancied him or was just pretending.

"Victoria..."

Jordan held Victoria's hand and was just about to say something.

At this moment, Cory hurried over in a flurry.

"Oh gosh, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry to have kept you guys waiting, Miss Clarke and Jordan."

A chubby man walked in.

Cory was about 1.75 meters tall and weighed more than 90 kilograms. He was bespectacled, and he had a crew cut hairstyle.

He was the typical chubby friend that everyone has.

Cory arrived with a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon. After sitting down, he discovered that there were only appetizers and starters on the table.

Cory asked with slight curiosity, "Why have you guys only ordered appetizers and starters? Order some main dishes! The steak here is the signature of the restaurant. They serve the best Angus cuts made from extremely fresh beef that's delivered to the restaurant within 3 hours after being slaughtered, straight from the slaughterhouse."

"This place has been featured in many famous gourmet shows too."

"The meal's on me today. None of you vie with me for the tab! Waiter!"

Cory called the waiter and ordered a lot of dishes.

Afterward, he opened the bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon and took the initiative to pour some wine for Victoria and Jordan.

"Miss Clarke, I've always wanted to meet you, and today I finally met with you thanks to Jordan."
