Chapter 423: Completing The Business Trial!

Jordan asked in surprise, Mr. Howard Sr., how did you guess that it was my second brother who did it? How much do you know about him?

Martin smiled and said, Ever since he took my granddaughter away from New York City and threw her onto a plane just to make you sleep with her once, I knew that Jamie was the one behind all the conspiracies.

Jordan, do you know why Jamie did this to you?

Jordan sighed and then shook his head. I dont know. Im on pretty good terms with Jamie. Although we rarely meet, he has always been nice to me. Even if were half-siblings, theres no need for us to kill him if he doesnt treat me as a brother.

Our familys a.s.sets are enough for all seven of us and each of us will have an endless amount of wealth. He has no reason to do this.

To his surprise, Martin chuckled after hearing his words. Do you want to know why he did this to you?

Jordan was stunned. Based on what Martin said, he seemed to know the reason! But how could an outsider like him know the reason!?!

Do you know? Jordan was bewildered.

Martin nodded and said, He does want to harm you to compete with you but hes not competing with you for the inheritance of a.s.sets but your familys secret!

Jordan was immediately shocked. This old man did know that the Steeles had unknown family secrets!

After thinking through it carefully, Jordan felt that Martins words were very reasonable. There was no need for Jamie to vie for the billions of dollars of a.s.sets because he could have any amount of money he wanted.

Jesse and Jordan didnt value money because their thoughts had already become transcendent. No matter how much money they had, they were just numbers that they couldnt use.

Hence, if they were going to fight, it must be because of the familys secret!

Jesse had told Jordan that Jamie might have already found out about the familys secrets. Hence, Jamie had every reason to go after Jordan!

However, these were all matters of the Steeles and there was no need for Jordan to tell an outsider much about it.

Jordan laughed and said, Mr. Howard Sr., you seem to be very interested in my familys secrets. If Im not wrong, you must have asked me to marry your granddaughter so that you could use her to get hold of my familys secret, huh!?!

However, Martin didnt hide it at all. Of course! I would never shortchange myself. If the Steeles didnt have such great power and this secret that makes me curious Not to mention that you already have a daughter with Lauren. Even if you had ten, I would never let you marry her.

Jordan humphed coldly and exclaimed, You can try!

Martin said, You are a smart person. Theres no need for me to lie to you. Its extremely normal for humans to be selfish. Why should I bother hiding? Jordan, I hope you wont reject me because of this. I just want to know what your familys secret is.

I have no intention to s.n.a.t.c.h your familys secret. Besides, were a family and Chloe is both yours and my descendant. No matter what your familys secret is, I will stand by your side and support you.

My agenda is very simple. If you take the power of the Steeles and if this family secret can benefit the Howards, I hope youll help my children and allow them to get some glory too. I am a dying man whose days are numbered. I definitely wont harbor any malicious intentions towards you.

Martin sounded very sincere.

It was normal for him to be curious. Jordan was filled with curiosity himself too!

Jordan nodded and said, Yes, but you must complete all of the trials given by the family before youre qualified to find out. I havent even completed the business trial yet so G.o.d knows how many years it will take for me to get access to it. So Mr. Howard Sr., dont blame me if you cant wait until that day.

Martin began to panic a little. It was really difficult to say if an elderly man like him who was sick, could really wait till that day. In his lifetime, Martin had enjoyed all sorts of luxuries, so before dying, he wanted to know what Charleston Steeles secret was.

Otherwise, he probably wouldnt die a peaceful death.

Martin said, Jordan, dont blame me for criticizing you. Ever since you ended your three-year experience as a live-in husband, youve been troubled with love. You were either messily involved with your ex-wife Hailey, or because of your child and your betrayal. You two were in such a terrible conflict. Either that or you were obsessed with Victoria and enjoyed yourself with her traveling in the mountains.

Now, because of Lauren and Chloes affair, youre focusing your attention on how many men Lauren used to date. Men shouldnt be tied up by these emotional matters all day long. You should focus on the trials given by your family!

Martin was right about that.

Jordan also felt that if he had stopped caring about Hailey after divorcing her and focused on developing the Ace Corporation as part of his business trial instead of taking revenge, he might have already completed it by now!

Jordan nodded. Youre right. Ive already decided that Im not going to think about these messy things anymore and focus on completing the business trial!

Martin smiled and said, Thats right! Family secrets are the most important. Since Jamie isnt hesitating to harm his brother for this, that just goes to prove that its even more attractive than the wealth of billions of dollars! As long as you have this secret and become the successor of the Steeles, you can have the whole world!

Once I finish the trial and find out the secret, I will understand why Victorias father disappeared for such a long time Jordan muttered under his breath.

After thinking about it, Jordan said somewhat pessimistically, Previously, my business was considered extremely successful but I didnt get my grandfathers approval.

Martin nodded and said, Thats naturally the case because the Ace Corporation sprung up in a short period of time because of money. The companies under it were all very successful and you merely bought them with money. Of course, you couldnt have gotten your grandfathers recognition with that.

Jordan, your grandfathers business trial is not meant for you to build the greatest company in the country, nor is he particular about the amount of profit you make. He is still mainly training your ability to run a business, shape your personality, and hone your ability to resist blows and find opportunities in various situations.

Now that your a.s.sets have been frozen, you have nothing to your name and youre being watched.. If you can make a name for yourself and make impressive achievements in business under such circ.u.mstances I believe that your grandfather will be very surprised and hell definitely approve of you and conclude that youve successfully completed your trial!
