My Wasted Husband Is in Power, Now! novel Chapter 357

Although he had only had brief contact with Chris twice or thrice, Jordan was certain that Chris was hot-tempered, irascible, violent, insensitive, straightforward and tyrannical!

Not only was he not a good choice for a husband, but he would definitely not make a good stepfather!

Besides, there was a feud between Chris and Jordan. Chris hated Jordan to the core so he might vent his hatred for Jordan on his daughter!

That was what Jordan was the most worried about.

Chloe was adorable and outstanding. He would never allow anyone to hurt her!

Lauren said, "Don't worry, Chris is the scion of the Hank family. Even if he can't be a responsible father, he won't mistreat Chloe."

"Besides, I'll still be Chloe's main caretaker, so it won't be different from before."

Since Lauren had said so, Jordan couldn't say anything else.

Soon, the two walked out of the bedroom.

As soon as they did, Chris immediately went forward and said to Lauren, "Lauren, I just called my parents and yours. Since we're about to get married, I want our families to have dinner together tonight."

Chris was also afraid that Lauren would be influenced by Jordan and cancel their engagement, so he decided to make the first move by asking both his and her parents out for a meal in order to confirm their engagement.

Lauren nodded without declining.

"Great!" Chris was overjoyed. "Let's get ready to set off. Let's head to a bridal shoot studio before that."

"Okay." Lauren agreed and then walked towards Jordan, "Why don't you come back again tomorrow again?"

"Sure."

Jordan said goodbye to Chloe and then watched Chris drive Lauren and Chloe away.

When he was leaving, Jordan saw the arrogant expression on Chris's face and he couldn't help but feel an urge to beat him up.

"Chris Hank, you insulted me in public on the street today and humiliated me in front of my daughter. I won't let this matter go just like that!"

Jordan clenched his fist. He was a vindictive person who would take revenge where it was due. Once he found Victoria, he would leave the US.

Those who chose to mess with Jordan were totally courting death!

Before leaving, Jordan could get them killed without any scruples!

"Sir, come inside to have some tea and rest for a while."

The maid, Felicia, greeted Jordan at the door.

A smile appeared on Jordan's face and he said, "No thanks, I still have other things to handle and I have to get going."

Walking out of the house, Jordan sneakily called Tim.

Tim exclaimed, "Mr. Jordan!"

Jordan called out, "Tim, you have to leave DC. I'm guessing that the Howards have already sent their subordinates to hunt you down. Once they find you, the Howards will definitely give you a hard time."

Tim asked, "If I leave, what will happen to your safety?"

Jordan said, "If the Howards want to kill me, they would have done so when I returned the second time. They have now abducted Victoria with the purpose of forcing me to give in and marry Lauren Howard. They won't hurt me for now."

Tim said, "In this case, I'll go to Houston to look for Salvatore. I heard that there's a turnaround for his case and he might be released soon!"

Jordan had watched Martin call some people to settle the case of Pablo and Salvatore, and it seemed that he did not go back on his word afterwards.

After giving the explanation, Jordan hung up the phone.

Jordan was now penniless, and he did not ask Tim to send him cash because he did not want Tim to take the risk. Reason being, he felt the Howards were secretly watching him!

The problem at hand for Jordan to solve was getting money and a place to stay.

Hence, Jordan checked the nearby map, and then followed it to a shopping mall named JFS mall near Lauren's house.

It was an extremely upscale mall in DC and Jordan intended to apply for a job as a security officer of the mall.

Firstly, he could solve the issue of lodging, and secondly, he could earn some money.

Of course, there was a more important reason apart from that!

It was a job that was very suitable for helping Jordan find Victoria!

The mall was often crowded with people and cars, so if Jordan was being watched by the Howards, that would be the easiest way for him to get out of the Howards's sight in the shortest possible time.
