My Wasted Husband Is in Power, Now!
Chapter 556 Gift For His Mother-in-law!

"What did you say'?!"

Jordan was shocked!

Ever since Jordan and Lauren had relations in the dark room four years ago, her mental stability had been affected. After the talented but inexperienced Dr. Gale treated Lauren with that untested method, her mental state became even more affected.

Lauren treated Jordan as the only perfect man. She could not accept any other man in her life and could only like him. Although Jordan did not want Lauren to be like this, he was still a little disappointed when he heard that she had returned to normal!

Everyone was selfish, especially men!

Lauren was so beautiful. How nice would it be if she could only love Jordan in this life? If Hailey had this illness back then, Jordan would not have to worry that she would cheat on him!

Of course, Lauren was a good woman and Jordan believed that she would never be like Hailey.

However, now that Lauren had returned to normal, she was capable of having relations with another man. As a result, there was always a chance that she might have an affair.

A 1% chance versus a 0% chance. A small number but it was worlds apart!

Therefore, Jordan couldn't deny that he felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"Helen? Lauren, how did you get to know her?" Jordan asked anxiously.

Lauren lowered her head and said, "Helen and her father came to the castle as guests. That's how we met each other."

Jordan knew that Helen was an outstanding doctor and pharmacist! She was a member of the Steele family's secret pharmaceutical base! In fact, Jordan had seen her just before he came to Lauren's house! Her medical skills were higher than the top doctors on the public market.

Helen could definitely cure Lauren's illness. Jordan did not doubt that.

Jordan asked, "Lauren... why... did you accept the treatment?"

Couldn't she just love one man in her life?

Couldn't she just sleep with one person her entire life?

Or did Lauren feel that since Jordan had two wives now, she was unwilling to have only one lover?

Lauren explained. "Doctor Helen told me that my current mental and physical states are abnormal. If I don't treat it as soon as possible, it might worsen in the future. I also want to be a normal woman. But the main reason I accepted the treatment was because I didn't want you to pity me."

Jordan was confused. "Pity you? What do you mean?"

Lauren said, "I know you and Victoria will definitely be together. I don't want you to stay with me just because of my illness. Jordan, now that I've recovered, I... have the ability to be with other men. If you only want to be with Victoria, you can divorce me. It's alright," Lauren said in an aggrieved tone.

Jordan held Lauren's hand and said affectionately, "Silly, what are you talking about? Why would I leave you? Lauren, listen to me carefully. I don't care if you're a normal woman or not. Anyway, you have already married me and you'll always be my woman. You can only be my woman for the rest of your life. I'll never abandon you!"

Tears welled up in Lauren's eyes as she pounced on Jordan. "Okay, okay."

But Marissa scolded her daughter. "Useless! You can choose any man in the world now! You can marry any tall, rich, handsome and powerful man you want! But you insist on being so stubborn! Jordan, you're just a useless son-in-law who lives in your in-law's house. How dare you get a second woman while eating our food and sleeping in our bed? There's no justice in this world! This is the Howard family's territory. Take your woman with you and get lost!"

Jordan glared at Marissa and snorted. "I am happy to leave. Do you think I don't have a house in the capital?"

Lauren wiped her tears and her eyes lit up. "Oh, right. Brother Jesse gave us a house in the west area. Hubby, Victoria, let's stay there!"

Previously, Jesse was pretending to be a good elder brother and had given Jordan and Lauren some of his assets, including a villa in the west part of the capital. Ownership of the villa had already been transferred to Lauren and Jordan.

Marissa snorted. "Hmph, so it's Jesse's house. I thought it was yours."

Lauren said, "Mom, how can you say that? Jordan and Jesse are brothers. The house belongs to the Steele family, and Jordan has the right to inherit it. Besides, Mom, didn't you get along well with Jesse when you were in the castle? I saw that you two often chatted in the room together. You should be very familiar with Jesse."

At the mention of this, Marissa felt guilty. She immediately thought of the ridiculous affair between her and Jesse in Steele Castle!

Could Lauren have sensed that Marissa had slept with Jesse?

Marissa said in a panic, "What... what do you mean by that? What do you mean by I'm very familiar with Jesse? I'm very familiar with everyone in the Steele family. As Jordan's mother-in-law, do you expect me to not talk to anyone while I was at the castle? If I were to put on airs and act aloof, wouldn't I be embarrassing you and Jordan? I did that for your sake, but you are lecturing me now?"

Lauren hurriedly explained. "I didn't mean it in that way at all. I was just trying to say that since you are familiar with Jesse, you should know that he's not a petty person. Since he has already given us the villa, he won't demand it back."

Marissa was taken aback. So that was what Lauren meant.

However, Jordan really wished he could tell Lauren that Jesse was not as generous as he appeared.

Indeed, Jesse was very generous when it came to wealth. He would give Jordan any of his assets across the world.

But that was only because Jesse was only interested in the Steele family's secret assets!

The iPhone 18s, Porsche 888s and all those technologies that far surpassed this era! Jesse would never give Jordan the right to control these things!

Previously Jordan had already been deceived by Jesse. All this time he has thought that Jesse was genuinely good to him.

Marissa said in a strange tone, "Of course Jesse wouldn't go back on his word. He's mature, generous and knows how to make people happy. When I left England, he gave me a big bag of things. Unlike a certain son-in-law, who hasn't even given me a box of tea leaves since he married into our family. Hmph."

Those words made Jordan feel very aggrieved. Ever since he married Lauren, his assets in the country had been frozen. He had no way to fulfill his duty as a son-in-law. Therefore, Jordan had specially brought Marissa a drug from the Steele family's secret pharmaceutical base, that could help restore her youth.

Taking out a drug from his pocket, Jordan handed it to Marissa. "Marissa, you're so vain. This drug is for you. In the future, please stop claiming that I have never given you anything!"
