Wed to the Billionaire Brother of My Spouse by Doris

Chapter 20 Justin Falls Ill

"That child isn't mine," Jordan said instinctively.

"Cut the act, Jordan!" Lisa wasn't buying any of it.

Howard's expression tightened. "No matter whose child it is, I expect you to take care of the situation."

Jordan felt his palms grow sweaty-Howard was definitely putting the screws on him

now.

He wanted to see how Jordan would handle Jasmine, to restore his daughter's dignity.

Lisa watched Jordan with schadenfreude gleaming in her eyes. "Let's see what you'll do about Jasmine and that bastard. Pull it off, and maybe my dad will help your family." Jordan glared at Lisa, his anger thick in the air as he snorted in contempt and stormed out.

"Dad, why can't I speak?" As soon as Jordan was gone, Lisa pouted and clung to Howard.

"You two, if only you had half the composure and courage of your eldest brother, I'd rest easy," Howard sighed. "What are marriage and love, anyway? You have to grasp people's weaknesses to truly hold sway over them, body and soul."

Lisa smirked. She was actually quite eager to see if Jordan would strike against Jasmine and the child for the sake of the Taylor family business.

"Dad, someone like Jordan, he won't just roll over," Daniel said with a stern face.

Jordan was bold, alright. He dared to mess with his territory back in the day... Well, he was about to pay the price.

The Taylors were facing more than just a minor crisis this time, and Howard was certain that Jordan would come to him for help. Clapping Daniel on the shoulder, he said, "You need to get your act together, Daniel. I'm not happy with your performance at the company, and neither is your brother."

"Dad! With Ethan around, nothing I do is ever good enough," Daniel retorted with a hint of jealousy. He had to admit, though, Ethan was truly capable, and Daniel was somewhat intimidated by him.
