My Wasted Husband Is in Power, Now! novel Chapter 455

"Mother-in-law, since you admit that you harmed me, don't blame me for drugging you! I hope you were just making false claims in a fit of anger. If it's true..."

A ruthless expression appeared on Jordan's face. Marissa was Lauren's mother, and Lauren was his wife. She was the woman he cared about the most other than Victoria. If Marissa was really behind this, Jordan would not kill her.

However, he would definitely punish her enough so that she would never be able to hurt him again!

At this moment, Lauren, who had run out of Marissa's room crying, didn't return to Jordan's room. Instead, she went to the washroom.

She called Brad while crying.

"Brad, did you know that Mommy poisoned Jordan? Did you do it with Mommy?" Lauren questioned Brad.

Brad was confused. "Lauren, what are you talking about? What do you mean by Mommy poisoned Jordan?"

Lauren said in tears, "Mommy told me herself that she poisoned Jordan to blind him!"

Brad was also shocked. "What? How is that possible? She doesn't even dare to kill a chicken. She only slapped Jordan to vent her anger. How would she be so ruthless? Don't you know our mother's personality? Did you quarrel with her again? Is that why she said that?"

Lauren's tears stopped. "Yes."

Brad said, "Sigh, did you really think our mother is a

criminal? You're really something."

Lauren thought about it carefully. She also felt that her mother had said those words in a fit of anger. It was true that she had been truly worried if Marissa had really harmed Jordan. What would she do then?

On one side was her mother and on the other was her husband. Lauren would be stuck in a dilemma, similar to Victoria then.

Now, she knew that her mother was just deliberately angering her. Lauren wiped her tears and returned to her room.

"Lauren, why are you crying?"

Jordan looked at Lauren's red eyes and reached out to massage them.

There was no need for Jordan to pretend to be blind in a room with only the two of them.

Lauren denied it. "I am not."

She did not plan to tell Jordan what had just happened.

However, Jordan already knew.

Jordan knew that Lauren was caught in a dilemma at that moment, so he did not probe further.

"Let's go to sleep, honey."

Taking Lauren's hand, Jordan coaxed Lauren to sleep. He wanted to drug Marissa, and would only have the chance to do so after his wife fell asleep.

Jordan knew that Marissa would be sleeping very late tonight because she would be busy choosing her "next son-in-law". She was going to gather personal information on all her candidates. She would sort them out and show them to Martin.

With Marissa's efficiency, she would probably be busy until 2 am.

Marissa and Lauren were both women who took a long time to do things. Even when just preparing to leave the house, they would take a long time to prepare.

Putting on makeup, choosing the right clothes and the right accessories, cooking or doing other things—they moved at half the speed of others.

Soon, it was 12:30 am.

At this moment, almost everyone else in Martin's house was asleep.

Lauren had also fallen asleep.

Only the light in Marissa's bedroom was still on.

Jordan and Marissa's rooms were on the second floor. Moreover, they were not far from each other, so Jordan was well aware of Marissa's activity and whereabouts.
