Chapter 27
The car stopped in front of City Hall. Jordan got out of the car and led Irene into the building. The two went to a meeting room and saw Edric right after they pushed the door open. Edric wore a well-pressed suit and brought his Executive Assistant John with him.
There were also CEOs and assistants from other companies that participated in the bidding. Irene stood behind Jordan after he sat down since all the other assistants were standing. Surprisingly, Jordan pulled her to sit down next to him.
Seeing how Jordan arranged for Irene to sit next to him, Edric's eyes darkened. Jordan noticed the change of Edric's expression and whispered, "Myers seems to be quite hostile to me?"
"Is that so?" Irene glanced in Edric's direction. Edric's charming eyes stared at her without blinking. Irene looked away indifferently. Jordan answered her "Yeah, I always feel that Myers looks at you in a strange way. Do you really not know each other?"
"I don't know him!"

When Steven returned home in the evening, Deborah and her daughter greeted him with a smile. "You're back!" Steven nodded and went to sit down on the sofa. Deborah said to Lily, "Lily, make some tea for your father." Then, she followed Steven and sat down next to him. "Steven, I heard that Irene is back?" Steven nodded. "Yes, Irene is back!" Deborah didn't expect that Steven had already met with Irene. Irene showed up after disappearing for years. It couldn't be that simple. Thinking of that, she asked tentatively, "Then why didn't you bring her home? That child has suffered so much! We should care for her more." Deborah acted like a loving mother. "It's not the right time. Irene still holds a deep grudge against me! She won't forgive me!" Steven sighed. "It's all my fault. I wasn't considerate back then. That was why both Lily and Irene had to suffer!" Deborah also sighed when she saw Steven mentioned the past. "We were only doing it for Irene's own

Deborah was having treatment in the beauty salon. She was also shocked by the news. "I'll go home right away and ask my husband!" Deborah called Steven and asked him about the bidding. Steven was a little impatient. "Why did you get involved? The decision was made by the municipal committee." Steven was right. It was indeed the municipal committee that picked the Golden Age Group as the winner. The Reed Family had always been investing and developing abroad. Of course the city opened the door for them when they returned to invest in San Fetillo. However, if Steven, the Secretary, were willing to fight for Edric, the Golden Age Group wouldn't be the winner. But he would never tell Deborah this. Deborah noticed the irritation in Steven's tone. She knew Steven's temper very well, so she had to hang up the phone for now. Lily also rushed back after receiving the news. Panting, she asked as soon as she stepped inside, "Mom, what should we do?" "Let's wait until yo

Jordan proudly waved the phone in his hand. "Steven is the future father-in-law of Edric. I had been worrying that I don't have leverage against Steven. Who would know that he would deliver himself to me? I recorded everything he said to you before. Now I'm waiting to see him yielding to me." "Jordan, how can you be so despicable?" Irene was so angry that she wanted to slap him in the face. Anyone who thought Jordan was just a playboy certainly underestimated his ability to take advantage of people. "You're protecting him?" Jordan was a little annoyed, "He is old enough to be your dad. And he is married. What's so good about him?" "We're not the kind of relationship you've imagined us to have." "It's not that kind of relationship? Then what is it?" Jordan asked. "It's a long story. I'll tell you in the future." "No! I'll report him tomorrow if you don't tell me now." Jordan was not vague about his intention. His heart was burning with fury when he saw

Margaret never expected Irene to visit a luxurious restaurant like this, so she couldn't help but give her an extra look. Irene had practically nothing to her name when she left Edric Myers back then. She even took back the wedding ring that she had given to Edric, and it wasn't long before the ring turned up in a pawn shop. One could easily imagine how downtrodden she was to go after the mere few hundred dollars that the ring could fetch. Margaret was previously involved in a car accident with Irene and had seen how shabby, and old-fashioned Irene's clothes were. She could tell that Irene was obviously having a rough time and had looked upon her with great disdain. "Weren't you so arrogant back then? Did you finally learn how tough the world could be after leaving the Myers Family?" In Margaret's mind, Irene was now the embodiment of destitution, and thus, so she was rather taken aback by Irene's current appearance. Irene seemed completely different from before. Alt

Jordan was supposed to be happy for winning the bid. Usually, he went to the nightclub to have fun every night when he was in a good mood. However, his cheerful mood suddenly disappeared after he learned about Irene's identity. Instead, he locked himself at home every day. David felt very strange about Jordan's change. 'Mr. Reed had changed a lot recently and stopped going to the nightclub'. At first, David thought Jordan just wanted to have a rest. But after being like this for several days, David realized that something he didn't know must have happened. As an Executive Assistant assigned to Jordan by the old master, he had to pay attention to Jordan's every move. Thus, he tried different ways to figure out the reason for Jordan's change. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find out what happened. Jordan was energetic in the office yet became lethargic as soon as he got off work. Jordan couldn't figure out why either. He felt like he was suffering fro

Irene was also looking forward to this man at first. However, she was dumbfounded when she heard the host announced Jordan's name. Why did this guy come to the show as well? Most importantly, she had always considered him a good-for-nothing rich boy and didn't know anything the host just said about him. While Irene was thinking, Jordan appeared on the stage in a casual outfit. His handsome look attracted everyone's attention as soon as he came to the stage. Irene heard the fellow female guests on both sides exclaiming, "He is tall and handsome and rich! He is a real golden bachelor!" 'Golden bachelor? More like a womanizer.' Irene secretly scoffed at the women. 'I don't think you would be so amazed if you knew all of his dirty laundries!' While she was thinking, Jordan sat down in the seat. Irene was more familiar with his impish look in the office and his lecherous eyes in nightclubs. She wasn't used to it when he suddenly sat upright with all seriousness in front o

Jordan's grandfather soon heard about his son going on a blind date show to pursue a divorced single mother. He called Jordan from abroad, “Kid, haven't you gone too far recently?" "You even care about this kind of thing now? Don't you have too much free time?" Jordan retorted. "Don't dip your pen in the company ink. You need to remember that!" Jordan's grandfather snorted. "That's only because their ink is not good enough!" Jordan refuted. "So this is for real?" The old man detected the undertone of Jordan's reply. “I'm warning you. My bottom line is that might be able to accept a woman you love who doesn't have a similar background. But I won't even open a discussion with you if she is a divorced single mother!" "What if the child is mine?" Jordan said casually. "The child is yours?" Jordan's grandfather was stunned. His grandson was an infamous womanizer who might actually be the child's father. "If it was really your son, I may allow it." Jordan laughed and said,

Jordan received the news right away that Irene was being attacked online. He immediately asked the public relations team to delete the nasty posts and freeze the trolls' accounts. However, the attack still made a huge impact. People demanded a direct answer from Irene. David suggested that Irene could offer an explanation. But Jordan shook his head and said even he couldn't stand this kind of vicious smear, let alone a woman like Irene. "It's better to keep Irene out of this and deal with it on our own for now." Jordan called Kinsey, who certainly knew about these comments as well. She was having a meeting with the public relations team of the TV station, discussing how to deal with the aftermath. During her call with Jordan, she was so indignant that she told him how Irene was abused by a ruthless mother-in-law, how her husband had an affair and impregnated his mistress, and how she was kicked out of the house with nothing. Jordan was astonished since he never dream
