MAJESTIC DINING CO...In an inconspicuous corner of the five-star restaurant, two handsome men sit before a table. One of them is clad in a black coat and his face is obscured with a black mask.As a prominent figure, he had to hide his face lest someone identifies him and this causes a problem for not just him but the man in front of him. These handsome men are naturally Jordan and Lorenzo. After Jordan told Lorenzo where he was, Lorenzo immediately sent his chauffeur to pick Jordan up and bring him over to Majestic Dining Co.He had prepared a private room for them in advance but Jordan declined that, saying the normal floor was ok. Jordan is his Lord; since he said that, how could Lorenzo argue? It was already an honor for him to take him out for lunch."My Lord, why don't you ever call me? You've faced countless problems over time but you never called me for help. Why?" Lorenzo asks respectfully, staring at Jordan with a depressing expression.Jordan smiles and waves him off. "Y
"Don't spout nonsense," Jordan shoots Lorenzo a glare.Lorenzo chuckles and makes a gesture as if sealing his mouth and throwing the key.Just then, Avery walks into the restaurant with Gerald following behind her."Over here, mum," sighting her mum, Isabella immediately stands up and waves.Isabella's voice instantly attract the attention of the other diners. When Isabella arrived, she had used a piece of clothing to cover her face so the diners wouldn't recognize her but out of urgency to call out to her mum, she had forgotten about the clothing and now she has attracted the attention she didn't want to attract."Isn't that Isabella Caden?" A diner asks."It's obviously her. Her ex-husband came to the restaurant and is dining with a strange man and now she is here with an unknown man. What are they really up to?"Isabella has never been one to care about the people's babblings, but her interest is rather piqued by what she just heard. "Jordan is here too? Where?" She glances around
Isabella's face falls. Indeed, the Cadens were doing relatively well. Amongst the top five families, they were the only family with a better and solid stronghold even though they were originally not from East Veridora.It is safe to say that though they are a small family they were the strongest amongst the top five families and if not for Arthur's decision to declare the contract null, they would have already ascended the radar to become the top 1 family, far surpassing the Maguire and the Kane families, which are but the 4th and 5th on the list.Isabella sighs. She can't blame Arthur though. She blames herself for solely depending on him and misusing her opportunity. So many of these families have so many businesses, it gives them the gateway to survive whenever catastrophe strikes any of their companies. She had Arthur Smith, who is an influential figure in East Veridora. If only she thought to start other companies, with his umbrella covering her, she would have successfully done
Daisy and Jordan are not so close that Jordan would inform her that he was having lunch with Lorenzo or even tell her of his activities. Besides, even if they were close, that was naturally Jordan's choice to make. If he wished, he would tell Daisy about his activities, if he didn't, Daisy would only have to mind her business.Daisy is well aware of this and only made that statement because she found out that Isabella was dining in the same restaurant as Jordan. She was having a rest in her room earlier when she suddenly started missing Jordan. She realized she had not seen or spoken to him for a while.She tried to suppress her emotions but the more she tried the more she missed him even more. Having no other option, she summoned John and asked him to find out about Jordan's whereabouts and what he was doing at the moment. As a top family, ranking 5th on the list of the most powerful families, the Kanes have a wide connection, and as such finding Jordan's whereabouts was just a piec
"Hahaha, that is so hilarious. Probably, the most hilarious thing I've heard in a long time," Daisy bursts into laughter, tears streaming down her cheeks. "And what's funny?" Gerald snaps, frowning.Daisy shakes her head as she says with a tinge of amusement in her voice, "Is it that you Cadens have no idea of the power and influence the Cadens of Opulence Heights wield that you will believe any Tom, Dick, or Harry can bundle two of the members of their family out of East Veridora? What makes you guys think that the Brian of a guy could bundle Edith and Layla out of East Veridora? Even my family would be scrupulous to do such a thing yet you believe that that man with no known background could do it? Are you three really this dumb or are you pretending to be?"Brian frowns, an ominous premonition rising in his heart. Daisy speaks like she knows who bundled Layla and Edith out of East Veridora. If she blows his cover, wouldn't that destroy his plan and make him seem like a joke to the
Jordan shrugs, saying, "Even if you try to convince them, they might still not believe you and come up with silly remarks, so what's the need? "Just forget it, they can think whatever they want. In any case, they would find out if you are the real Lorenzo sooner or later."Listening to Jordan and Lorenzo's discussion, Isabella narrows her brows, anger flashing in her eyes.At this moment, she can't believe Jordan and his so-called Lorenzo Capone are still putting up with this fake charade.This gets on her nerves that she can't help but dart over to them and glare down at them, Lorenzo especially, and snaps, "Do you know you would be dead meat if news happens to get to the Mafia boss and he finds out that there is someone claiming to be him when he is not? An impostor?"Lorenzo is taken aback to see Isabella rushing over to their table just to snap at him. He opts to snap back at her but remembering her relationship with Jordan, he chooses to ignore. Once she is done talking, she wil
When Jordan said that the man in front of him was Lorenzo, he noticed that Daisy was amongst those who doubted him and felt that Lorenzo was an impostor. It was natural for everyone else to doubt him, he couldn't care less about them. After all, since they feel he is a pauper, they can't believe anything he says.But Daisy is different. Though she fully doesn't know his identity, he has developed a better relationship with her and the Kanes and she has seen how differential her grandpa is to him, unlike the others. Considering all this, he didn't expect her to be amongst those who would doubt him.Guess he had given her more credit than she actually deserved. Now, posed with her question, he is left wondering if she couldn't believe him then, what's the guarantee that she will believe him now? Wouldn't he be wasting his time by answering?He picks up his glass of wine and takes a sip not bothering to answer her.'Is he still angry with me because of what happened between me and Nata
Jordan's words are cold and ruthless. Daisy feels a pang in her chest, and her eyes glisten with unshed tears. "Jordan," she whispers sullenly and tries to touch him, but Jordan doesn't give her the chance. He silently waves a finger, and a sudden wave of air pushes her hand away."This," Daisy exclaims in shock, standing and wiping her tears. Her hand was just a few inches from Jordan, but a sudden force pushed it away. It's exactly similar to what happened with Lorenzo.She looks down at Jordan and grins, "So you were the one who caused the wine to disappear without touching that guy. What power is this exactly? How could you control air and so many others?""What?" "That punk is really the one who caused the wine to disappear into thin air? "So John wasn't lying?""Indeed, John wasn't lying. Though I can't say anything about what happened the first time, I saw what happened this second time. And it's unbelievable. It's like something I only witness in the movies.""Dashawn, sinc
