My Wasted Husband Is in Power, Now! novel Chapter 280

Jordan heaved a long sigh of relief as he was glad that she wasn't Lauren.

He didn't want anything to do with a woman like her who was obviously a spoiled brat.

Jordan apologized to Clarice, "I'm sorry, I thought you were his sister."

Hearing Brad's "chauffeur" say that Clarice became even more jealous.

All along, people in the upper-class circle of DC would only ever pay attention to Lauren and never Clarice.

Now, even someone she thought was just a lowly chauffeur actually took a double-take at her only because he mistook her for Lauren.

How could she tolerate that’?!

Clarice was furious, but she couldn't lose her temper either.

Hence, she gibed smilingly, "Hah, it's true that I'm not as pretty as Lauren, but so what if Lauren is pretty? What has she ever done for our family?"

"Four years ago, we arranged a marriage alliance for her, but she refused to agree and even ran away. What happened in the end?"

"She was pregnant when she returned, and she didn't even know who the baby's father was. Well, that's fine, everyone makes mistakes when they're young, and she could have just gotten an abortion." "However, she went against Daddy's wishes and insisted on giving birth to that illegitimate child!"

"Not only did she keep the baby, but she also insisted that she would never get married again in this lifetime and decided to spend the rest of her life with just that child. She refuses to go on a blind date with anyone or even see anyone."

"She now has a 3-year-old daughter, and which person from a similar family background as us would be willing to marry her? Chris is the only one who's so devoted to her."

"But today, she refuses to meet Chris now that he's here to see you. She won't even show him basic courtesy.

How rude of her!"

Clarice began to list out all of Lauren's sins.

Jordan was once again shocked to hear Clarice's words.

'Lauren Howard is pregnant? Could it be my child?'

Jordan did not know if the "illegitimate child" resulted from the intimate encounter he had with Lauren back then.

"Three years old... I have a three-year-old daughter?"

Jordan was rather riled up. He initially only planned to apologize to Lauren after meeting her today.

He didn't expect to learn that he had a three-year-old daughter!

At this moment, Brad's parents seemed to be extremely sullen.

Brad's mother exclaimed, "Chris, don't worry, I'll go upstairs now and drag her down if I must!"

However, Brad suddenly stopped his mother. Hey, Mom, don't end up arguing with Lauren later. Let the chauffeur go."

"Your chauffeur?"

Everyone looked at Jordan.

Jordan was a little surprised too.

When Chris looked at Jordan, there was apparent animosity and hostility in his eyes.

Reason being Jordan had just said to Clarice that he had been staring at her only because he thought she was Lauren.

As Lauren's future "fiance", he would not allow any other man to dare to covet the woman he adored so much.

Clarice laughed and asked, "Him? He can bring Lauren down? Cut it out. Even if you try to convince her yourself, you might not be able to get your sister to come downstairs."

Brad laughed and said, "That's why I said that I'll get my chauffeur to carry her downstairs forcefully if she refuses. Mom can't pull her down either."

All the Howards knew Lauren's temper well and were aware that they wouldn't be able to persuade Lauren to come downstairs no matter what they said. In the end, they would still have to resort to forceful means to drag her downstairs.

Hence, Brad's mother did not object anymore and instead said, "Okay, let this young chap go." 'Lauren Howard... I'm finally going to meet you.'

Jordan was rather glad because he had long wanted to see Lauren in the flesh.
