Butler Frank was overjoyed. “When? Are you getting married to Miss Victoria?”

Jordan sighed and said, “The day after tomorrow. I’m getting married to Miss Lauren Howard, not Victoria.”

Butler Frank asked with bewilderment, “Mr. Jordan, how could this possibly happen?”

“Victoria has gone missing and I suspect it’s the Howards who did it. I must marry Lauren to find out where Victoria is.”

Butler Frank sighed. “Mr. Jordan, have you ever thought about how you’d be marrying the wrong person in case the Howards aren’t the culprits? You can’t just marry or divorce a Howard as you please.”

“I’ve thought about it but I have a hunch that even if the Howards aren’t the culprits, I still have to marry Lauren to find Victoria. It seems like everything is forcing me to go down this path.”

Frank exclaimed in surprise, “Mr. Steele Sr. has said a long time ago that your intuition and prediction are very accurate, Mr. Jordan. Mr. Steele Senior is resting at the moment. I’ll tell him the news when he wakes up later. But I’m afraid that Mr. Steele Senior won’t be able to attend your wedding in person, Mr. Jordan.”

Jordan said, “Well, I hadn’t planned to invite Grandpa. I just want to tell him that I’m doing well and that he doesn’t have to worry about me.”

After chatting with Butler Frank for a few minutes, Jordan hung up the phone. He then called Jesse but the latter didn’t answer.

Ten minutes later, Jesse returned the call with an unknown number.

“Jordan!”

“Jesse.”
