My Wasted Husband Is in Power, Now! novel Chapter 293

Chris knew that the Howards had also been searching for Chloe's biological father and believed that Martin would be surprised when he learned of the news.

However, Martin remained calm and composed as he continued to sip on his tea without the slightest trace of surprise.

Chris was instantly surprised. "Mr. Howard Sr., could it be that you're already aware?"

Chris was not a fool, so he could tell from Martin's reaction that he was clearly not bad.

Chris hurriedly said, "Mr. Howard Sr., I heard that that punk had resorted to dishonorable means to sleep with Lauren and cause a huge disgrace to your family. If it's proven that Chloe is really his daughter, I'm willing to get rid of him on behalf of the Howards!"

As long as Martin gave him the green light, Chris could immediately arrange for Jordan to be assassinated.

However, Martin looked at Chris with great disappointment and said, "Chris, I was quite supportive of your marriage with Lauren at first, but there are now changes to the plan."

"I think you should forget about marrying Lauren."

Chris immediately felt indignant after hearing that.

Chris didn't mind the fact that Lauren had a daughter out of wedlock. Yet, the Howards didn't want him.

"Why? Are you going to let Lauren marry that punk?"

Chris said with indignation.

"Punk?"

Martin couldn't help but laugh when he heard the term Chris labeled Jordan with. "Chris, that kid is not a punk. You're far inferior to him in terms of background."

"What?"

Chris was shocked. He initially thought that Jordan was just a chauffeur and a gangster.

He didn't expect Jordan to have an even more powerful status than him!

"No wonder he dared to be so overbearing towards me!"

Chris recalled how Jordan belittled him during those two meetings, and he finally understood everything.

However, Chris thought for a second and then said, "Mr. Howard Sr., even if that punk and Lauren are compatible with each other, why hasn't he married Lauren after three years if he really loves her and wants to be responsible for her?"

"I can tell that that punk only likes Chloe and has no feelings for Lauren at all!"

Chris's words made Martin frown, and his face immediately turned sullen with displeasure.

"Go back," Martin said coldly, asking him to leave.

"Mr. Howard Sr..."

Chris was still about to say something, but an elderly servant walked over and extended her arm towards

Chris. "Please."

Chris gritted his teeth, not daring to disobey. He then left slowly.

After Chris left, Brad came out from the room inside.

Brad laughed and looked at the chessboard. He then mocked in disdain, "Grandpa, so much for you praising Chris all the time. His chess-playing skills are terrible."

Martin shook his head in disappointment and said, "Chris was quite outstanding when he was younger, but the older he got, the more conceited and arrogant he got. However, he's quite outstanding among the losers of the upper-class circle."

Brad returned to the seat where Chris was sitting just now and asked Martin, "Grandpa, Chris may be a good-for-nothing, but he has good judgment."

"Although my sister is very attractive, Jordan isn't romantically interested in her at all."

"What if he leaves DC once the test results are out?"
