When Jordan saw Victoria's pitiful expression, he bent down and handed her a tissue.
Victoria paused for a moment before taking the tissue and hurriedly wiping her face. She was a headstrong woman. As the top executive of a listed company, she always gave off the impression of being capable, aloof and mature.
She had never appeared so weak before.
After knowing that the person in front of her was not her father, Victoria no longer cried like an aggrieved daughter. She quickly composed herself.
Victoria looked at Jordan and said, "I'm sorry for hitting you just now."
Jordan smiled. Why would he care about this?
Jordan had clearly predicted that Victoria would be shot, but he could not protect her, causing her to fall into a coma in 2022. The entire affair left Jordan feeling very guilty about it. So he was actually very happy to be slapped by a Victoria who was alive and kicking.
Victoria said, "I shouldn't have hit you. If it weren't for you yesterday, I might have been ruined by Salvatore's subordinates. I might even be dead now. You saved me. You're my benefactor."
Jordan said hastily, "Don't say that. I took advantage of you by kissing you. I don't dare to be called your benefactor."
Victoria smiled. "Actually, I can tell that you're a gentleman. Last night, you held me and slept the entire
night. You kept your hands to yourself and didn't take advantage of me. This is enough to prove your character."
Actually, Jordan did want to take advantage of her, but she kept calling him "Daddy". How could he bear to do it?!
"Sir, please sit. I spent so much effort making dinner. Don't let it go to waste. By the way, how did you save me yesterday?"
Victoria no longer acted like a little girl. She returned to her usual cold and aloof CEO attitude and sat down.
Jordan returned to his seat. "Ms. Clarke, you can just call me William. Yesterday, after that hooligan knocked you out, Salvatore's other loyal subordinates rushed in and dealt with the traitors. Salvatore wants us to pretend that this never happened. After all, there were people killed. If word gets out, it will be troublesome for everyone. Next time you see Salvatore, treat it as your first meeting. Don't mention this incident again."
Victoria nodded cautiously. She was a top executive of a listed company. If she got implicated in a murder case, it would definitely affect the company's share price.
Victoria continued. "Then, how did you know the name of Salvatore's benefactor? Also, how did you know that Salvatore would like someone like Emily? Have you seen Emily before? You know what she looks like?"
Jordan smiled and nodded. He had already thought of an answer to these questions.
"I have a crush on you and came up with this plan to get close to you. So of course I did my research on you and know that you have a younger sister who's a flight attendant. Your younger sister regularly posts on social media and I've been following her. As for how I know the name of Salvatore's benefactor and what type of girl he likes, I can only say that I really divined it.
"My father taught me divination when I was a young boy and I've practiced it for 30 years. I can't say that I've reached perfection, but I've at least made some progress."
Victoria no longer dared to doubt Jordan's divination skills. She asked, "Then, do you think that I am truly fated with Jordan Steele?"
Jordan nodded. "Yes, I've done the calculations. You and Mr. Steele are indeed fated. There's a high chance you'll be together in the future. However, your signs don't match perfectly. Although you met at the right time, you will likely be separated because of something in the future. And you'll be the one who will break up with him."
Victoria sighed. "Sigh, my personality is too strong-headed. Even if he's a billionaire businessman, I will still leave him if I feel that he's not suitable."
