Chapter 462: Almighty Rival In Love!
Translator: Atlas StudiosEditor: Atlas Studios
Not only did Matthew expose Jordan’s blindness, he even publicly accused him of being impotent. How despicable! For a man, being humiliated like this was even worse than being called a blind man!
Clarice Howard and many girls from the major families covered their mouths and laughed. Others believed Matthew’s claims and started discussing amongst themselves.
“Is Jordan really impotent? I didn’t expect this man to be so useless!”
“L feel so sad for Lauren. As a woman, she can’t find happiness in her married life. Sigh.”
“What a waste! What a waste! A woman with goddess-like looks and a figure like Lauren is married to an impotent man! Ah! Why didn’t she marry me?! I’ll definitely be able to make her a hundred times happier!”
Jordan was furious when he heard the scornful comments from the other guests! No one reacted much when Jordan’s blindness was revealed. They all just pitied him.
However, no one showed sympathy for his alleged impotency. Instead, they were full of endless mockery and jealous hatred!
He had such a beautiful wife, but he couldn’t satisfy her? What right did a man like him have to be Lauren’s husband?!
Jordan was livid. That b*stard Matthew dared to embarrass him in public! Since Jordan was pretending to be blind, he could not beat up Matthew just like that. He was not even supposed to know where Matthew was standing.
Therefore, Jordan waved at Matthew and said, “Mr. Manning, come here.”
“What’s the matter?”
Matthew walked forward.
Smack!
Jordan slapped Matthew!
Matthew’s glasses flew to the ground. Matthew was quite weak and skinny, and he almost fell to the floor.
“Mr. Manning, did you feel the strength of a real man?”
This b*stard dared to insult Jordan by saying that he was not a man. He was just asking for a beating!
Marissa immediately stood up and shouted at Jordan, “Jordan! Who allowed you to hit him?! This is your grandfather’s birthday banquet. Matthew is a guest of the Howard family. Don’t you know the proper way to behave?! Apologize to him now!”
Jordan was very angry and retorted. “Mother, you’re my mother-in-law and I’m your son-in-law. You heard what Matthew said earlier. He was slandering your own son-in-law. Instead of helping me, you’re defending him? Are you still fit to be my mother-in-law?!” Jordan questioned Marissa, accusing
her of not doing her duty as a mother-in-law!
The guests at present were all from upper-class society and knew what was right and wrong. They would not blindly stand on the Howard family’s side.
Unexpectedly, Marissa snorted. “Slander? Hehe, how would I know if Matthew is slandering you? Maybe he’s telling the truth. Iam indeed your mother-in-law, but don’t expect me to speak up for you in such matters. I can’t prove what you say is true or not!”
“You…”
Jordan was speechless at Marissa’s words. If he had known that night
Clarice said with a smile, “That’s right, Jordan. Mom can’t stand up for you on such matters. Lauren is the only one who can prove your claims. It’s useless to blame Mom.”
At this moment, Lauren finally stood up. She looked a little shy, but she still mustered her courage and said to Matthew.
“Matthew, you have no idea what you are saying. Let me tell you, my husband is… he’s… extremely formidable!”
“Uh”
Jordan was a little embarrassed by the word “extremely”.
Hearing Lauren’s praise, the women who were mocking Jordan looked at him again. However, their gazes were no longer mocking and disdainful. Instead, they were filled with envy. Some women even drooled!
Cayden was very unhappy when he heard this. He downed his drink in one gulp!
“Damn it! Why is it that every woman I like has been used by Jordan before! Hailey was like that, and now Lauren is the same!”
Cayden hated that Lauren was already Jordan’s woman. He always ended up picking up Jordan’s leftovers.
Matthew was young and had never been in a relationship before. Therefore, his viewpoint on love was more naive and stubborn. He couldn’t help grabbing Lauren’s hand and saying with agitation. “Lauren, don’t be with this blind man. I’ve liked you since the first time I saw you. I won’t marry anyone but
you!”
Lauren hurriedly tried to reject him. “Matthew, let go. Don’t be like this.”
Even Marissa felt that something was wrong when she saw Matthew holding Lauren’s hand. “Child, we can understand that you like Lauren, but you can’t do this.”
At this moment, Marissa was also mentally striking Matthew off her list of potential sons-in-law. He was too young and immature.
Jordan was very anxious. He clearly saw Matthew holding Lauren’s hand, but he could not reach out to separate them. As he was “blind, he should not be able to see what was happening.
Even if he knew, it was impossible for him to accurately figure out where their hands were.
“Atrocious!”
Jordan did not want another man’s disgusting hands in contact with his wife!
At that moment, Jordan suddenly felt a white thing spinning towards him!
Jordan panicked a little. He thought that the thing was aimed at him. He was still hesitating if he should pretend not to see it or dodge it in time. Unexpectedly, the object hit the back of Matthew’s hand!
“Ouch!”
Matthew cried out in pain. It was a spoon. It smashed into Matthew’s hand, forcing him to let go of Lauren.
At this moment, a young man’s voice came from the northwest direction. “You overestimate yourself. Stand up. The top of your head doesn’t even reach Ms. Lauren’s nose. Are you worthy of liking Ms. Lauren?”
Matthew’s hand had swelled up. He shouted angrily, “Who? Who threw this spoon at me?!”
At this moment, a man with a recent figure stood up. “Me!”
“Who are you?” Matthew asked.
“Henry Zeller from Orlando!”
Jordan could not help glancing at him. This guy was the candidate from Orlando, the one who was known as the all-around genius. From the fact that he could accurately throw a spoon right at Matthew’s hand from so far away, this fellow seemed to be quite capable.
Marissa was afraid that Matthew and Henry would get into a fight and hurriedly said, “Henry, it’s time for your performance. Come here. Matthew, go back to your seat and rest.”
‘With those words, Henry walked over confidently and bowed respectfully to Martin.
Martin smiled and nodded at him. “Henry Zeller, what are you good at?”
Henry smiled. “Mr. Howard Sr., you should be asking what it is I am not good at.. There is nothing I cannot do!”
