You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 30

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 how Irene was defending Steven. "As the saying goes, the animosity for snatching a man's wife is absolutely irreconcilable. I will ruin Steven if he dares to covet my woman!"

"Who stole your wife? Jordan, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Irene, I have to make it clear to you no matter what you think. I have my heart set on you. No one can hanker after a woman I already claimed. No one!"

Jordan was not a sensible person. It didn't work to talk to him in a sensible way. Irene stamped her feet in anger. "He... he is my father."

"What did you say?" Jordan thought there was something wrong with his ears. "But you have different surnames?"

"I have my mom's surname!"

"How is it possible?" Astonished, Jordan stared at Irene for a while. "You... Are you an illegitimate daughter?"

"I'm not!" Irene interrupted him.

"If you're not an illegitimate daughter, why does no one know your relationship with Mr. Cook?" Jordan asked.

"That has nothing to do with you. So don't ask anymore." Irene had no patience to explain it to him.

Jordan suddenly thought of something. "Irene, no wonder you know so many inside stories about the bidding. Did Steven tell you that?"

"Yes," Irene nodded and said, "Jordan, I have already helped you win the bid. You have to keep the relationship between Steven and me a secret for me. No one else can know."
