Jordan came from a noble family and was very well-mannered. He respected his uncle very much. Even though Jordan still had feelings for Victoria, he didn’t do anything disrespectful to Randall. At the same time, he tried his best to avoid drawing attention to his past relationship with Victoria.
However, Randall took the initiative to raise this matter and directly asked Jordan in front of everyone if he still loved Victoria.
Jordan and Victoria had just broken up. They had a very long and deep relationship and Jordan was not a heartless man. Of course he still loved Victoria. It was obvious.
But how could he have the audacity to say such a thing now?
Seeing that Jordan did not comment, Victoria knew that he still had feelings for her. She felt very awkward.
It was her and Randall’s wedding day after all. As Randall’s wife and the wife of the Chief of the Mutant Tribe, she couldn’t embarrass Randall in front of this group of mutants. Therefore, Victoria said to Jordan, “Please don’t do such childish things anymore! You were the one who gave up on me and broke up with me. Why are you stopping me from getting married now? If you really love me, why did you break up with me?”
From her words, it was obvious that Victoria was still furious and upset with Jordan for breaking up with her.
Randall also wanted to blame Jordan, and he said, “That’s right, Jordan. Victoria and I only got together after you guys broke up. I’m your uncle. I would never snatch a woman from you. After Victoria broke up with you, she was in a lot of pain and wanted to commit suicide. I knew that she had the potential to be a mutant and brought her to the Immortal Lake to give her a new life. That’s how we fell in love.
“Jordan, you can’t be so capricious and fickle. You can’t reject a woman only to ask her to come back. I don’t know what to do with you like this.”
Randall looked very helpless.
The other mutants also mocked Jordan.
“Hehe, in my opinion, Jordan already fell out of love with Elder Sister Victoria. He dumped her so that he could marry another new wife. But after knowing that Elder Sister Victoria is a purple-level mutant who can control the minds of others, he regrets it!”
“I see! I didn’t expect a Deity to be so snobbish! When Elder Sister Victoria was an ordinary person, he treated her like a toy and threw her aside as he pleased. Now that Elder Sister Victoria is so powerful, he started wooing her again. Does he really think he will succeed?!”
The slander left Jordan very unhappy.
Jordan had always been an open and aboveboard person. He hated snobbish people the most. When choosing his friends or lovers, he never considered their backgrounds or abilities.
However, he was now being described as a petty person who only cared about personal gains.
Randall added. “Jordan, did you really come because Victoria has purple-level superpowers? Actually, you don’t have to be like this. Victoria is my wife, which means she’s a member of our Steele family. We’re all family. If you need anything in the future, just tell me. Victoria will help you.”
Jordan tried to explain. “I didn’t…”
Victoria actually believed that Jordan was such a person. She said angrily, “Jordan, if I were still an ordinary person today, you wouldn’t have come to disrupt my wedding, right?”
Although Victoria didn’t want Jordan to cause trouble at her wedding, she was still pleased that he came!
As a woman, she could clearly feel that Jordan still loved her!
She couldn’t deny that she wanted to be loved by Jordan. She had been feeling very dismayed ever since she was inexplicably abandoned by him.
Jordan was shocked. He didn’t care if others had such an opinion of him, but he didn’t expect Victoria to think the same, that he only came because he coveted her abilities.
Jordan looked at Victoria. “How have I treated you over the years? Do you really think I don’t truly love you? Do you think I’m the kind of person who will only cling to you because you’re capable?”
This left Jordan incredibly emotional. He had experienced so much with Victoria!
He had been with Victoria ever since he divorced Hailey. During that period, Jordan had pretended to be bankrupt, while the Steele family was being targeted by the other secret families. Also, a series of things happened between Victoria and Russell.
How could Jordan accept Victoria questioning his feelings for her?
But Victoria only replied coldly, “I really don’t know. I thought I knew very well that you loved me as deeply as I loved you, but you abandoned me so mercilessly. I didn’t do anything wrong. Why don’t you want me?!”
Victoria became hysterical.
Equally agitated, Jordan asked, “Alright, you want to know why?”
Victoria was insistent. “I want to know why!”
Jordan immediately responded. “Because of William!”
His words instantly made Victoria back down, and she looked a little ashamed.
“William? Who’s William?”
Everyone present became curious.
Randall frowned as well. There were actually people and things that he didn’t know about?
Randall asked Victoria, “Who is William?”
But Victoria just remained silent with a grim expression. She was too embarrassed to explain herself to anyone.
Victoria knew what Jordan was saying. In her life, she had committed one major mistake, and it was on the night of Jordan and Lauren’s wedding.
She shouldn’t have slept with William.
Victoria had once promised Jordan that she would not hide anything from him.
But no matter what, Victoria just couldn’t tell Jordan about this.
And yet, Victoria didn’t feel that she had done anything wrong. Jordan was also having his wedding night with Lauren then, and he didn’t have to explain himself to her! Victoria was an independent woman in the new modern era. She wouldn’t accept that men could have multiple wives.
Therefore, since Jordan and Lauren got married that night, it meant that she and Jordan were over. No matter what Victoria did with another man, she could not be considered betraying Jordan.
However, even as she tried to comfort herself, Victoria still didn’t have the courage to say what she was thinking to Jordan.
Victoria looked at Jordan guiltily and asked, “How… how did you know?”
Victoria knew William well. She knew that he wanted her and Jordan to have a blissful marriage. He would never tell Jordan about this as it would harm their relationship.
Jordan looked at Victoria and told the truth.
“Because I’m William!”
