After Jordan expressed his attitude vehemently with determination, Lauren stood up too.

She looked at Martin and said, “Grandpa, shouldn’t you have discussed with me in advance before making arrangements for me to marry Jordan?”

“I didn’t say that I want to marry Jordan, let alone agree to share him with another woman.”

Lauren’s words were actually meant for Jordan.

She was trying to tell Jordan that she was unaware of these arrangements and that she wasn’t desperate to marry him.

As the most beautiful woman in DC, Lauren was quite prideful.

Martin said, “It’s up to your parents to decide your marriage. The decision has never been yours to make!”

“If everyone in our family is as capricious as you are, could the Howards be as glorious as they are today?!”

“Besides, Jordan is the man you chose. You’re the one who insisted on giving birth to his child.”

“We’ve tried to set you up with so many prospective partners over the years, but you never agreed to a single one. Do you think I’ll continue indulging you and letting you have your way!?!”

Martin’s words were undoubtedly full of dominance and mightiness.

When Jordan saw Martin’s attitude towards Lauren, he understood why she would run away from home four years ago.

The Howards had a conservative and backward mindset about the marriage of their children, completely denying them the chance to make their own decisions. It was as if they were born to bring about benefits for the family.

After lecturing Lauren, Martin looked at Jordan sternly and said, “Are you really not willing to marry my granddaughter? Lauren has been carefully nurtured by the family since she was a child and I dare say that no woman 30 years old and younger in the US is as outstanding as her!”

Jordan looked at Lauren, unable to bring himself to break her heart. He said softly, “Miss Howard, I’m sorry, my heart can only accommodate Victoria.”

“Screw you!” Brad slammed his hand against the table and exclaimed, “Jordan, the Howards have already made compromises out of consideration for your feelings and yet, you still don’t appreciate it. You simply have a death wish!”

Martin was completely enraged, too. “Jordan Steele! I’ll give you two ways out now!”

“One, marry my granddaughter.”

“Or two, hand your brother, Jamie, over!”

Brad called out to him, “By the way, hand over the culprit, Jamie to me!”
