My Wasted Husband Is in Power, Now! novel Chapter 468

Cayden, who was sitting beside Jordan, jumped up in shock!

He couldn't help but stammer, "J-Jordan, what are you talking about? You and Lauren are a match made in heaven. I... I have never thought of snatching your wife! Did you misunderstand me? Actually, it was your mother-in-law who invited me and specially instructed me to give your wife a gift to make her happy. I don't know anything aside from that.

"The original name of that villa was not 'The Laurel'. I changed it at the last minute. If you don't believe me, you can check the official website."

Jordan reached out a hand and said, "Cayden, don't be so anxious. Sit down. Actually, the relationship between Lauren and I is beyond salvageable. We're destined to divorce!"

Cayden sat down and asked, "How can that be?"

Jordan sighed and said, "You have no idea. I've always had a conflict with the Howard family. The Howard family tried to kill me once. I was the one who broke Brad's legs. They made me their son-in-law because they wanted to use me to get the Steele family secret.

"Now that I am a cripple, I'm useless to them. Moreover, I don't want to implicate Lauren. Therefore, our divorce is destined!"

Cayden was delighted. Jordan's words made sense. He did not realize that Jordan was just trying to trick him!

Jordan continued to lie. "My mother-in-law shortlisted more than 10 men for Lauren. However, I have no idea what the rest look like apart from you. I don't feel secure about any of them. But I know you very well. I know that you're not bad in terms of family background, looks, physique or character.

"Hailey married you while carrying my child last year. During those 10 months, you cared for her and doted on her like a princess. If it were me and my wife was pregnant with another man's child, I wouldn't even smile at her, much less treat her well. Just based on this, I know you would definitely treat Lauren and my daughter well if you marry her."

Cayden slapped his thigh in excitement after being praised by Jordan. "Of course! I'm a man who loves my wife. I never flare up at women! If Lauren marries me, I'll definitely treat her like a princess!"

"Jordan... Are you really willing to give your wife to me?"

Who would be willing to give such a beautiful wife to someone else?

Of course, there was no way Jordan would give his wife away. However, in order to lure Cayden into his trap, he had no choice but to bait him with this so that he would expose himself.

Although Jordan had the capability and the men, Cayden would never admit to his crime even if he was tortured to death.

Some people might think that it was better to kill the wrong person than risk letting the real culprit off. However, what if the culprit was not one of Jordan's past enemies, such as Cayden, but someone else?

Once he confirmed that Cayden was the culprit, Jordan would be able to carry on his life in peace after killing him.

Jordan said, "Of course I can't bear to! But so what if I can't bear to?! I'm blind. Do I want Lauren to serve me forever?! You know my personality very well. A proud person like me will never drag Lauren down with me for the rest of her life!"

Cayden nodded. It was true that Jordan would never be such a selfish scoundrel.

At the thought of this, Cayden hugged Jordan excitedly. "Brother! You're my blood brother from now on! Thank you! I'll definitely treat Lauren and your daughter well. I swear!"

Pushing Cayden away, Jordan interjected, "Hey, wait. Don't thank me yet. I can give Lauren to you, but I have one condition."

Cayden said excitedly, "Tell me! I'll agree to 10 conditions if need be!"
