Chapter 495 Hailey Is A Servant!
Marissa hung up angrily.
Exasperated, Jordan returned the phone to Lauren and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Honey. I’m not trying to be difficult with your mother. It’s not that I don’t want to let her sit in the carriage. It’s just that…”
Lauren cut in, “I understand, Hubby. Mom’s request is too overboard. Once the golden carriage is mobilized, it will definitely cause a commotion on many levels. I know your family has always been very low-profile. Yesterday, when we rode the golden carriage, they had to seal the roads and get the royal guards to protect me. I was quite embarrassed.”
Jordan nodded. He was very happy that his wife was a reasonable person. If it was another woman, she might have argued with her husband and said nasty things.
“Actually, yesterday was the first time our family’s golden carriage was driven through the London city area. My grandfather and others in the family have never done that before.”
Lauren covered her mouth in surprise. “Even Brother Jesse and Sister Yumi have never ridden it in the city before?”.
Jordan shook his head.
Lauren couldn’t believe it. “Will Sister Yumi blame me for being frivolous? Will she hate me because of this?”
They were both daughters-in-law of the Steele family. Lauren had come here for the first time and already used the family’s golden carriage on her first day.
Yumi was the wife of the eldest son and she had never used it even though she had been married into the Steele family for several years. Lauren felt that Yumi might be upset with her because of this, and was becoming increasingly anxious. She cared a lot about her relationship with the Steele family members.
Jordan smiled. “No, she won’t. My brother and sister-in-law treat me very well. They won’t be upset because of that. Don’t worry.”
At Heathrow Airport, London. “That useless son-in-law! I’m so angry! How did I end up with such a stingy son-in-law?!” Marissa was still scolding Jordan after hanging up. Her friend asked, “Marissa, what’s going on? Is it inconvenient for Jordan to pick us up? We can take a taxi there ourselves.”
Marissa smiled awkwardly. “I’m really sorry to have made a fool of myself. My son-in-law is too outrageous! I’ll take you to the hotel. We can go to the casino!”
With that said, Marissa brought her four socialite friends to a 192-year-old casino in England where they played Punto Banco.
“Useless son-in-law, stingy son-in-law! Jordan, I’m going to spend 10 million pounds here tonight! And you will compensate me for every single cent I spend!”
Marissa assumed that since Jordan’s family was very powerful in England, she could lose as much money as she wanted here. There was no need to worry. As a result, Marissa played carelessly, intending to lose money.
However, she kept winning time and time again!
“Aiyo, Marissa, you’re so lucky today. How much have you won? You must have won a million pounds by now, right?”
Marissa laughed. “I’ve already won two million pounds!”
“Oh my god, that’s crazy!”
Coincidentally, Lauren happened to call at this moment.
“Hello, Mom, where are you? Jordan and I have come to pick you up. Jordan’s mother knows that you’re here and wants to see you very much. She’s waiting for you to come to dinner tonight,” Lauren said.
Marissa snorted. “I have to go meet the Steeles just because they want to? If they wanted to see me so much, why didn’t they come to your wedding? I’m not free. I’m having fun at the casino. I won’t be going over tonight. We’ll see how it goes tomorrow!”
Lauren knew that her mother was a bit of a gambling addict. She cautioned her. “Mom, just play a little for entertainment. Don’t lose too much.”
Marissa retorted. “What are you talking about? Do you know how much money I’ve earned in just a couple of hours? Two million pounds! Your mother will be rich tonight. Hahahaha…”
It was rare for Lauren to hear Marissa so happy. She knew that her mother was enjoying her gambling so much that even the golden carriage wouldn’t be able to lure her over.
“Alright, then. Since you are winning, enjoy yourself. I’ll look for you tomorrow morning.”
After hanging up, Lauren said to Jordan, “Mom won’t be coming for dinner tonight. She’s gambling in the casino.”
Jordan nodded. “Which casino? I’ll pay for whatever losses she incurs.”
Lauren smiled. “No need. She was lucky today and won two million pounds.”
The look on Jordan’s face was one of shock. Was his mother-in-law the Queen of Gambling?
Soon enough, it was time for dinner.
The Steeles did not have high requirements for breakfast and lunch. Dinner was the most important and sumptuous meal, and everyone in the family was expected to join for dinner.
It was another magnificent feast on the dining table with a variety of cuisines. Today, Hailey was part of the servants.
Hailey was wearing a maid’s outfit, the same one worn by all the servants of the Steele family. As the Steeles had a good relationship with Chanel, the maids’ uniforms were personally designed by the famous designer.
It was an ordinary servant’s garb. However, on Hailey, the effect was astounding. Both Jesse and Jordan were stunned by the sight.
Oh my god, was the Steele family’s maid uniform always so alluring?!
Hailey was wearing a white apron cinched at the waist. The white ribbon was just begging for a man to untie it. She was wearing a black dress that was neither long nor short, and it perfectly displayed her long, fair legs. In normal circumstances, Hailey already had a pure and charming aura. Wearing this maid outfit, she looked absolutely lethal! “Gulp…”
Jesse couldn’t help swallowing hard.
Jordan didn’t do that. Instead, he recalled some amorous memories between him and his ex-wife. When they were husband and wife, Hailey had once worn something similar… Hailey would flutter her eyelashes and pout, glancing at Jordan from time to time as if she wanted to remind him of those beautiful memories.
“This woman is so annoying…”
Watching Hailey, this woman who had cheated on him, all sorts of emotions surged in Jordan’s heart. He originally thought that he would vomit whenever he encountered Hailey after their divorce. He didn’t expect this woman’s charm to reach such a level!
‘Hailey is so beautiful. Jamie, you bastard!!’
Feeling that he still couldn’t forget Hailey or hate her, Jordan once again blamed Jamie, who had stirred up all that trouble.
“Mr. Jordan, this is a grilled fish dish which the kitchen prepared specially for you.”
In her maid costume, Hailey deliberately brought the dish to Jordan. Once again, Jordan got a whiff of that familiar perfume!
“Alright.” Jordan nodded.
But Hailey remained standing there, and she asked Jordan in a flirtatious tone, “Master, are you satisfied with my service?”
