Chapter 396: Mother-in-law Makes Things Hard!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Martin was well aware of the complicated relationship between Jordan, Victoria, and Russell.
âRussell, itâs a long story. Take a seat, weâll talk about it another time.â
âAlright then.â
Not daring to disobey Martin, Russell sat down obediently. đđŻđ˘đ˘đđđđđŹđłđđŠ.đđđ
There was incessant clamoring at the venue and the guests streamed in one after another, which made Salvatore rather annoyed.
âThere are so many guests but none of them are here for Mr. Jordan. Theyâre all here for the Howards. Hey, when do you think Emily will crash the wedding?â
To tell the truth, Salvatore was missing Emily really badly. He peeled another banana and shoved it into his mouth. However, as soon as he took a bite, he immediately choked when he saw a beauty whom he had never seen before, at the door.
âAhem, ahemâŚâ
Salvatore began coughing excitedly while still pointing at the crowded door.
Thoroughly confused, Tim patted Salvatoreâs back to give him some relief. âWhatâs wrong, Salvatore? It canât be that Emily is really here, can it? As Iâm Laurenâs guardian, if you support Emily in snatching the groom away, we will have to fight today!â
Salvatore spat out the banana he had just eaten and exclaimed in utter shock, âEmily my foot. Itâs that bitch, Hailey Camden!â
Tim was so shocked that his jaw dropped wide open. âMr. Jordanâs former wife?â
Hailey, who had dolled herself up and was dressed to the nines in designer wear, walked over while pushing a stroller along. Due to her stunning beauty, Hailey attracted the attention of many guests from the moment she entered.
âOh my God, this woman is really beautiful. Sheâs as gorgeous as the bride, Lauren Howard!â
âActually, donât you think she looks like Miss Howard? Theyâre like biological sisters!â
âItâs such a shame that sheâs probably a mother since sheâs pushing two babies over in a stroller. Sheâs no longer single.â
While enjoying the gaze of the crowd, Hailey sashayed forward smugly but before she took two steps, she was stopped by Salvatore.
âSalvatore?â
Salvatore said sternly, âHailey Camden, what are you doing here!?! Iâm warning you, itâs Mr. Jordanâs big day today. Donât you dare try to create a ruckus here!â
Hailey was not afraid of Salvatore. If it were a year ago when Jordan and Hailey were still married, she would definitely be afraid of a gangster like him. However, Hailey had experienced too much in the past one year and was no longer the little girl who only dreamed of inheriting the Camdensâ assets.
So instead she sneered arrogantly, âHow dare you, a servant, speak to me like that? Look at who Iâm pushing in the stroller. He is your masterâs flesh and blood! In the future, my son will inherit 100% of the Steelesâ assets! If you dare to disrespect me, itâll be tantamount to disrespecting the Steeles!â
âYouâŚâ Salvatore was rendered speechless.
Hailey was telling the truth because she was indeed the mother of Jordanâs son. He was Jordanâs oldest son and in the future, he might really inherit the Steelesâ empire and assets so they really couldnât provoke him.
Salvatore had no choice but to change his attitude. âMiss Camden, I know you want to remarry Mr. Jordan and reconcile with him but he already has a fiancee, so I hope you can accept the reality and not make trouble at Mr. Jordanâs wedding.â
Hailey humphed coldly and said, âJordanâs wedding? Look at the venue with your eyes wide open. Lauren Howardâs name is plastered on the wall and itâs listed before anyone else. This is clearly the Howardsâ wedding! Donât worry about your master!â
After saying that, Hailey stopped paying attention to him and instead walked forward while pushing the stroller.
âSalvatore, what should we do? Should we go inform Mr. Jordan?â Tim asked.
âMr. Jordan is busy, donât disturb him. The Howards are such a powerful family. I believe Hailey Camden wouldnât have the guts to make trouble here.â
Soon after, the guests had all settled down and almost all the seats in the hall had been occupied. In addition, there were also private rooms upstairs that were all occupied.
It was already ten in the morning. The wedding was due to commence at any moment.
This time, they had invited a famous emcee, John, to host the wedding.
John walked towards Martinâs table and asked, âMr. Howard Sr, the time is up. Shall we begin?â
Martin glanced at the table beside theirs, which was the only empty table there. This table was specially prepared by Martin for Jordanâs family, so no one dared to sit around it.
âJordanâs family members havenât arrived yet.â
Martin was obviously hoping that the wedding would begin only after Jordanâs family arrived.
âHmph.â Clarice humphed coldly and said, âThe Steeles would have arrived last night if they were sincere about attending the wedding. Now that the wedding is about to begin, theyâre still nowhere to be found. I reckon theyâre not going to make it. Letâs not wait for them anymore!â
Marissa was just as displeased with Jordanâs family. âYeah, letâs not wait anymore!â
Martin nodded and said, âOkay then, we wonât wait any longer. Let the wedding begin.â
Afterward, John walked towards the stage with the microphone, immediately causing everyone to cheer for joy.
âWow, itâs the famous emcee, John Paul. The Howards are really impressive.â
âI heard that John will never take on tasks to appear at wedding events. I reckon that the Howards are the only ones who are capable of inviting him here.â
âMr. John, Iâm your fan!â
John smiled and bowed to everyone. âThank you, thank you, everyone. Itâs a great honor to witness the moment that Mr. Steele and Miss Howard tie the knot, together with all of you.
âIn todayâs era where more and more young people are afraid of getting married, I think every couple that is brave enough to get married, are really courageous and full of confidence in living a good life together in the future.
âNext, letâs invite the happy couple of newlyweds to make an appearance!â
A pure and beautiful melody suddenly began to play.
Lauren had heard that song before too. She had always hoped to have that song played during her wedding,
With the romantic wedding music, Lauren, who was dressed in a white wedding gown and looking like a goddess, walked towards the stage slowly with her hand around Jordanâs arm.
âOh my, she⌠sheâs gorgeous!â
âIâm crying. Miss Howard is really the most beautiful bride Iâve ever seen!â
As soon as Lauren and Jordan appeared, they aroused the envy of all the guests at the scene. They were impeccably good-looking and the most compatible pair in the world!
At this moment, Hailey was stunned too.
Watching Jordan and Lauren walking down the aisle, she subconsciously thought about the scene when she and Jordan got married.
It was exactly the same!
âJordan actually found a woman who looks so much like me⌠he must still love me!â
Haileyâs heart was filled with so much jealousy that she was about to lose her mind!
Soon enough, the two walked to the center of the stage. John didnât waste any time and the Howards didnât need a wedding officiant either. Ordinary people liked having the emcee liven the atmosphere and watch the newlyweds make a fool out of themselves.
Meanwhile, the Howards didnât need such things.
John said, âIâm not a professional wedding officiant. Letâs invite the mother of the bride on stage to say a few words.â
Under a burst of applause, Marissa walked over with a piece of paper in hand.
Jordan glanced at it, only to see the words âRequirements for being a Live-in Husbandâ!
