My Wasted Husband Is in Power, Now! novel Chapter 700

Jordan and Hailey were from two different worlds. If not for the training mission arranged by his family, the two of them would never have been together.

Rowan understood Jordan's feelings. "Alright, I agree. I'll tell Jesse later."

"Thank you, Dad," Jordan said.

A moment later, Jordan asked suddenly, "Dad, can I ask you a question?"

Rowan nodded. "Go ahead."

Jordan continued. "Logically speaking, the Steele family head position should be passed down from one generation to the next. Grandpa should have passed it to you first, and then you can pass it on to me or Jesse. Why did Grandpa skip you? I can see that your relationship with Grandpa is quite good. Moreover, you've always been quite obedient to Grandpa. You've also done quite well under Grandpa's arrangements. You are not estranged from him at all.

"Besides, in terms of ability, I don't think you are inferior to us."

Rowan was not a fool. Anyone could tell he was a capable man so Jordan could not understand why Charleston did not favor him.

At Rowan's current age, he was the most suitable candidate to be the head of the Steele family. He would have more gravitas when dealing with other families.

Rowan smiled. "Thank you for your recognition, child. However, I'm not interested in being the head of the Steele family. I mentioned this to Grandpa many years ago. I told him that the head of the family should be directly passed onto your generation."

"Huh? Why? Dad, why don't you have the fighting spirit? Did something happen to you?" Jordan asked curiously.

Rowan sighed. "Many years ago, when your uncle Randall was still alive, the two of us fought fiercely over who would be the successor. Our battles were a hundred times more intense than those between you and your brothers. However, later on, he died because of me. I've always felt guilty and believed that I had let him down. Therefore, I swore not to fight for power anymore and gave up the position of the head of the Steele family.

"Don't think that I'm old and boring now. When I was young, I was even more popular than Jamie. I was also a playboy. I still remember that I once asked the Deity to teach me a trick to pick up girls. It's the 'voodoo' technique that you recently learned. Sigh, now that I think about it, I've let down many good girls!"

Jordan was shocked by Rowan's confession. His father, who appeared to have no worldly desires and was steady and calm, was actually a playboy who was even wilder than Jamie when he was young?

Not only that, he was even more obsessed with power and winning the position of the family head than Jesse?

Jordan had always prided himself on being a good judge of people. No one could escape his eyes. But now, it seemed that he was still too inexperienced. He didn't even understand his father.

Jordan asked in confusion, "How did Uncle die because of you? It was Shaun Handley who killed him!"

"Shaun Handley? What do you mean?" Rowan frowned.

Jordan quickly explained, "Looks like Grandpa didn't tell you about this. After we saved Tom Schmid and his wife, Tom said that when Shaun Handley first came to them, he was with Uncle Randall. Moreover, he also said that Uncle Randall was being controlled by Shaun with evil techniques then. Uncle Randall was not himself at all at that time!"

Boom!

There was an explosion in Rowan's head like thunder!
