My Wasted Husband Is in Power, Now!

Chapter 200 Defeating Russell!

Since he became Hailey's live-in husband the past three years, Jordan clearly felt the misery of being a mediocre man!

Jordan felt that he was quite outstanding in various aspects, but even a man like him would get despised and betrayed by a woman.

It can be imagined how aggrieved ordinary men must be!

Although Wilson was in a sorry plight, at least a pretty woman was willing to marry him. Many men were rejected before they even got to the stage of marriage.

Of course, the reason that Jordan was willing to put in effort for the welfare of men was not entirely because he was being saintly.

In fact, he felt extremely guilty towards them!

Reason being, a large part of the reason for the high property prices in the country was his grandfather!

School district houses and common areas were systems implemented by Jordan's grandfather.

Twenty years ago, the Steeles owned large tracts of land in several cities, including the capital, New York City, and others.

It was Jordan's grandfather who made housing prices skyrocket over the years!

There were many speculators in the real estate industry, but those were obviously low-level operations.

Jordan's grandfather was a land speculator. Whenever he acquired a plot of land, he would spend more than a decade speculating it, and once the land value rose, he would quickly sell it to someone else. He will never earn the last dollar.

The Steeles had made at least a hundred billion from the real estate industry alone, so Jordan was willing to take out some of the money to do something for the people!

Russell also lifted his glass with a bit more respect towards Jordan. He said, "You're welcome. Talking to you about this also touched me!"

The two clinked their glasses and downed it all in one g°-

Victoria stood at the side and looked at the two men curiously. 'What were they chatting about just now?'

Women are mostly narcissistic, so Victoria began to wonder if they had been talking about her.

Jordan invited Russell to sit down again and ordered some more food. The three of them then continued to drink.

Just like that, another hour passed.

There was no tension among the three during the past hour, and Russell's attitude towards Jordan became extremely cordial too.

Reason being, Jordan had just made a bold and wild statement saying that he would take out billions of dollars to help solve the problem of declining childbirth and marriages. His ambition had really given Russell, a mere businessman, a great shock.

As a man, Russell admired Jordan. He could obviously tell that the current mindsets of many women in society were problematic.

A woman in a prosperous society is like gold.

His good friend had said, "The deprivations of women will lead to the deprivation of the entire country."

Those were the words that Russell agreed with, but women reacted strongly against.

Ever since he got on this yacht, Russell had been suppressed by Jordan in every way. His inferiority in physical strength was shown when he made his way up the helicopter.

The luxury of the yacht had also put Russell to shame.

When Wilson showed up on the yacht and asked to borrow money from Russell, Russell had already flaunted his wealth and power and had acted entirely like a world savior.

However, his plans were ruined by Jordan.

During the conversation, Jordan's ambition and demeanor had all trumped him!

It was a total defeat for Russell today!

"Atrocious kid!"

The more Russell drank, the more unhappy he felt because he didn't expect himself, an owner of a multi-billion-dollar company, to lose out to a greenhorn.

All of a sudden, an evil thought surged in Russell's heart.

Russell lifted his glass and clinked it with the two men again before looking at Victoria while pretending nonchalant.

"By the way, Victoria, do you still write blogs now?" "Blog?" Victoria and Jordan both froze for a moment.

Jordan asked curiously, Do you write blogs too?"

Russell laughed and said, "Jordan, you had no idea about this, did you? Victoria is a good writer, thanks to her good genes. If her father wasn't a businessman, he'd definitely be a famous poet and author!"

"I remember when blogs were prevalent, Victoria loved writing blogs. I remember your blog link was [email protected], right?"

Jordan looked at Victoria in surprise. "Vicky? Quite a non-mainstream name, huh? Haha."

During that era, many girls liked shying away from the mainstream.

"You're annoying!" Victoria nudged Jordan jokingly, blushing a little.

Victoria said, "That was in trend at that time."

"I stopped blogging after Instagram came out. My account on that website is no longer active now anyway."

Russell nodded and said with a bizarre smile on his face, "That's such a pity. Otherwise, you'd be able to let Jordan appreciate your literary skills and the photos of you in the past."

Jordan suddenly realized that Russell seemed to be intentionally reminding Jordan of something.

'Could it be that there are lots of photos of her and Russell on that blog in the past?'

'Myspace.' Jordan noted down the name of the site.

After five minutes, Russell suddenly got up and said, "That's about it today, let's leave."

Jordan also got up and said to Victoria, "Let's send Mr.

Miller to the pier. We'll spend the night here tonight."

"Sure, sure." Victoria said with a blissful smile.

Sleeping on a luxury yacht in the Hudson River for one night was such a blissful thing.

Russell, on the other hand, had a sullen expression on his face.

This time, Jordan did not put Russell through the torment of climbing up the helicopter. Instead, he has the crew drive the yacht to the pier's edge and let Russell disembark.

When he arrived at the pier, a man clad in a shirt and trousers was waiting for Russell.

Before leaving, Russell took the initiative to shake Jordan's hands. "Jordan, you gave me a strong impression. Thank you for the invitation. I'll treat you to a meal when you come to Houston again."

"Sure." Jordan also smiled politely.

Victoria happily held onto Jordan's arm and said, "It looks like you guys had an enjoyable conversation. I thought you two would get into a fight."

Jordan smiled faintly. He knew that the old fogy Russell would never give up Victoria so easily.

Someday in the future, Jordan and Russell would fight to the death sooner or later!

At this moment, Wilson walked down from the yacht on an unsteady gait with three emptied bottles of red wine.

Jordan secretly thought, 'I only gave him one bottle. Why did this scoundrel take two bottles? That's about a hundred grand in total.'

Jordan had spent more than $200,000 on giving Russell a treat today, but he didn't care for that petty sum.

Surprised to see Wilson, Victoria asked, "Jordan, who is he? When did he come on the yacht?"

Wilson did not seem to be a crew member of the yacht.

Before Jordan had time to explain, Wilson knelt down directly in front of Jordan and exclaimed, "Thank you, Sir!"

Jordan helped Wilson up and said, "You don't have to thank me. You and I are fated. Work hard and try not to date women who work in the banking and real estate industry in the future. Those are minefields."

Wilson nodded gratefully and asked, "What about flight attendants? Can I marry them?"

"They won't fall for you, don't bother thinking about it," Jordan said bluntly. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
