Chapter 543 The Steele Family Secret!

Jordan and Jamie exchanged punches. Neither of them dodged. If a fight could resolve the conflict between them, Jordan would be happy to fight Jamie.

Alright, how do you explain Lauren and Dr. Gale then? Why did you create false evidence to make me misunderstand Lauren and Dr. Gales relations.h.i.+p? You made me think that something happened between them. You clearly know that Haileys past transgressions affected me deeply, yet you still want me to suffer such pain! Are brothers supposed to be like this?!

Jamie was dumbfounded. When did I create false evidence against Lauren and Dr. Gale?

Jordan said, There was a cigarette with your name written on it at Dr. Gales house. Do you still want to deny it?

As Jamie took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, a smile was on his face. He threw it to Jordan

Writing my name on my cigarettes was something I loved to do when I was young. Look now, which one of my cigarettes has my name?

Jordan looked at Jamies cigarettes. Indeed, there was nothing written on them. Based on Jamies habits, he would write his name on every single cigarette in the box in advance.

Not you? Could it be Jesse? Jordan suddenly said.

It was Jesse who had told him about Lauren and Dr. Gale.

Jamie said, Of course its him! I tried my best to matchmake you and Lauren. How could I do anything to affect your relations.h.i.+p with her? On the other hand, Jesse doesnt want you to have the Howard family backing you!

Jordan, do you know why I arranged for Lauren to be with you back then? Its not because shes beautiful, but because shes Martins granddaughter and a member of the Howard family! I wanted you to become the son-in-law of the Howard family. This way, when Jesse makes his move on you one day, at least you wont die. At the very least, there will be someone to protect you in the US!

Jordan was surprised. Jesse wants to move in on me? Why are you so sure?

Jamie closed the door and s.n.a.t.c.hed his cigarette box back from Jordan. He lit one and said.

You should know the reason why our family dared to send us to the battlefield to train. Our family bribed both sides of the conflict. In other words, no matter what happens on the battlefield, the moment we take out the Steele family pendant to prove our ident.i.ty, we wont die.

Jordan nodded. This was also why he was different from the other soldiers.

The battlefield was a ruthless place and anyone could die at any time. The Steele family would not let their descendants be in such danger.

Jamie continued. I heard that the enemy team in your camp didnt receive any information about the Steele family. They didnt know that they are not supposed to kill anyone with the pendant. You should remember that Grandpa arranged for Jesse to inform the enemy team!

Jordan was shocked. He remembered that.

Initially, Jordans grandfather had arranged for Jordans father to do it. However, Jesse said that he had finished his training on the battlefield less than two years ago and was more familiar with the place. Therefore, he volunteered to do it himself.

He never expected Jesse not to act as instructed!

This was a serious matter. It was equivalent to taking a plane without a parachute. If anything happened, he could only wait for death. There was no chance of survival!

Jamie said, I could tell at that time that Jesse wanted you dead. He wanted you to die on the battlefield and never return! I had to go tell Father so that he could personally settle it.

Jordan clenched his fists. Why why did Jesse do that?! Our familys a.s.sets are enough for everyone to have a good share. He has always been very generous when it comes to money. Why am I a threat?

Jamie smiled. He wouldnt kill us just because of money. What he really wants is to monopolize our familys secret!

The Steele family secret again!

Jordan could not wait to know the Steele familys secret!

Grabbing Jamies collar, Jordan was adamant. Fly back to England with me immediately. The moment I hand you over to Grandpa and complete my final mission, Grandpa will tell me the familys secret!

Jamie shook Jordan off. F*ck, I dont want to go back. When I go back, Grandpa will definitely make me go through the battle experience. What if Jesse plays some trick and gets me killed on the battlefield?

No wonder Jamie refused to accept the familys battle experience. He was worried that Jesse would harm him!

Jamie continued, Why go through so much trouble just to know the family secret? Why do you need to go back to England to ask Grandpa? Cant you just ask me?

Jordan frowned. How did you know the family secret? Who told you?

Jordan was very curious. According to the family rules, descendants who had not completed all the trials were not qualified to know the family secret. Jamie had never partic.i.p.ated in the battlefield training. Logically speaking, he didnt have the right to know.

Jamie took a puff and smiled. Grandpa told me.

Jordan said immediately, Thats impossible! Grandpa set this rule. How could he tell you in advance?

Everyone knew that Jordan had always been the most favored among the three children. Charleston wouldnt even tell Jordan, so why would he tell the troublemaker Jamie in advance?

Jamie said, One night, I gave Grandpa a cup of coffee with a newly developed truth serum inside. He revealed the secret to me then, hehe.

Jordan was shocked!

What what did you say? You drugged Grandpa! Are you even human?!

Jordan never expected Jamie to be so audacious!

Charleston was the head of the family and his word was law!

Jamie smiled. I would never harm Grandpa. I just wanted to know the familys secret in advance. Why go through so much trouble if we can take the shortcut? Grandpa taught us this. Have you forgotten?

Jordan kept shaking his head. Jamies actions were challenging his moral viewpoint. He recalled the two variety shows he had watched with Hailey: Running Man and Limit Challenge.

The same locked box.

The contestants on Running Man would obediently follow the programs requirements and find the key to open the box.

But the partic.i.p.ants of Limit Challenge would just smash the lock with a hammer.

Jamie was clearly more suited to playing the Limit Challenge!

F*ck, this was too unreasonable!

How could he drug their grandfather and forced the truth out of him!

Why didnt I think of that

Jordan actually felt a little regret for playing by the rules He looked at Jamie again.

Jamie, tell me now. What is the family secret?!

Jordan really wanted to know!

What kind of secret would cause Jesse, who had always been close to Jordan, to harm him for fear that he would become a threat?

What kind of secret would make Norman hide his ident.i.ty and fake his death, such that he couldnt even reunite with his family?

Stubbing out his cigarette, Jamie considered for a moment before nodding.

Alright, Ill tell you the family secret!
