My Wasted Husband Is in Power, Now! novel Chapter 698

"Grandpa!"

Jesse cried out in excitement. Even he was surprised that his grandfather had chosen him as his successor.

Deep inside, Jesse knew that his grandfather had always doted on Jordan the most. Recently, it was only because of Jordan's efforts that the Steeles had been saved from being kicked out by the other secret families.

If not for Jordan, the Steeles would no longer be a member of the eight great families!

It came as no surprise that Jesse thought he had lost to Jordan.

Jesse burst out in excitement. "Grandpa, don't worry. I swear, I will take good care of Jamie, Jordan and our sisters. I will take good care of everyone in the Steele family! I will definitely bring the Steele family back to our former glory! I will not lose to any other family!"

Victoria and Lauren continued kneeling on the ground. Although they felt indignant for their husband, they remained well-mannered and dignified. Charleston was already on his final breath. How could you argue with an old man who was about to die?

Jordan lowered his head. He did not show any reaction to this outcome. But it was impossible that he wouldn't feel a little upset by it!

After all, Grandpa should have seen Jordan's ability. Jordan had also completed all his training missions very well. It was only because of Jordan's abilities that the Steeles were able to survive! Otherwise, they would have

been kicked out by the other secret families’

More importantly, Jordan's grandfather knew that Jordan might be a Deity! As a Deity, Jordan would definitely be able to lead the Steele family to glory and trample the other seven families under his feet!

So why did Charleston choose to hand over the position of family head to Jesse even though he knew Jordan's special identity?

Jordan did not refute or question his grandfather.

He knew that his grandfather must have his reasons for doing this. He chose to respect and accept any arrangements his grandfather made!

No one dared to raise any objections, except for Hailey, the only outsider in the room.

"That's not right, Grandpa. Among your grandchildren, isn't my ex-husband, Jordan, the most outstanding? You should pass the position of the family head to him!"

Hailey spoke up for Jordan not because he was her ex-husband, but for her benefit. She knew that the relationship between Jesse and Jordan was now strained. If Jesse controlled the Steele family, he might expel Jordan from the family. Jordan might be left with nothing.

If Jordan was left with nothing, his son with Hailey would also be left with nothing!

Although Victoria and Lauren hated Hailey, she had voiced out what they wanted to say but didn't dare to. This made them look at her in a different light.

But Jesse flew into a rage!

Jesse glared at Hailey, a murderous intent flashing across his face. "B*tch! How dare you question my grandfather's decision! What right do you have?! You cheated on Jordan when you were married to him! Jordan is so innocent and kind-hearted. He's the most capable and good-natured among us brothers! When I found out that you hurt Jordan, I couldn't wait to kill you! If he hadn't pleaded for mercy on your behalf, you would have already died! Men, quickly drag this b*tch out!"

"No."

Jesse was about to speak when someone stopped him.

It was Charleston!

"Grandpa..."

Jesse turned to his grandfather in surprise.

Charleston had called Hailey over. It was obvious that he had something for her.

'Is Jordan's grandfather going to give me money? Oh my god, I'm so excited... will he give me a few million? That's the least he could do, right? After all, I gave birth to a son for the Steele family! Hahaha, fortunately, I only had a daughter with that good-for-nothing Brad. Otherwise, I might not have the right to kneel here today!'

Hailey was extremely excited. She was already calculating how much money she would get! Even a person as shameless as Hailey only thought about getting a share of the Steeles' wealth.

She would never even dare to dream about what Charleston said next!
