Chapter 490 An Angel’s Voice!
Jordan had always wanted to hear Lauren sing. He believed that her voice must be very pleasant!
While they were dating, Jordan had often been intoxicated by her voice! When he had asked Lauren to sing for him back then, she was shy and felt that Jordan was a music professional, so her singing would not match up to his standards. Therefore, she refused to sing for him.
But today, it looked like Lauren would be drunk sooner or later. He could take the opportunity to have Lauren sing and satisfy his curiosity. Meanwhile, Charleston looked at Lauren apologetically.
“Lauren, I know all about what happened. It’s Jamie’s fault for messing around. He kidnapped you and brought you to the Syrian battlefield. He even forced you and Jordan against your will in the dark room. I apologize on behalf of Jamie. I hope you can forgive him.”
Charleston raised his glass. Despite his high status, he had taken the initiative to apologize to his granddaughter-in-law!
Lauren quickly poured more wine and raised her glass to toast him. “Grandpa, I’ve already forgotten about that matter.”
Stefan said in a hurry, “Mr. Steele, please don’t take it to heart. In my opinion, Jamie wasn’t out to humiliate Lauren. He must have thought that Lauren and Jordan were a good match, that’s why he did that to bring about a romantic opportunity! Speaking of which, we have to thank Jamie. If not for him, we wouldn’t have become in-laws!”
His daughter had been raped. But as the father, Stefan was actually speaking up for Jamie, who had set it up.
There was a time when Stefan would grit his teeth in hatred when he heard the name Jamie. He would feel like hacking at someone with a knife. But then, the man who had raped Lauren had turned out to be an outstanding figure, and the Steele family was even more powerful than the Howard family.
Most importantly, Lauren had fallen in love with Jordan and was living happily now.
Therefore, no one took this matter to heart.
But Jesse suddenly erupted in anger. “Jamie is too outrageous! He actually did such a thing to Jordan and Lauren! Lauren, don’t worry. When Jamie returns, I’ll definitely teach him a lesson for you!”
The intensity of their apologies left Lauren feeling very touched. “Thank you, Brother Jesse. There’s no need to teach him a lesson. I’ve already forgiven him.”
Charleston nodded in relief. “Lauren, one more thing. Since you’re in England, I want to officially integrate you into the Steele family. From now on, you are the daughter-in-law of the Steele family and have the right to inherit our assets.”
Jesse’s angry expression turned to a smile. “Lauren, I know that your own family is very rich, but your wealth is nothing compared to ours. Our family wealth is beyond imagination Congratulations.” Yumi also smiled. “Congratulations, Lauren.”

Lauren was also very happy. She had finally been recognized as the daughter-in-law of the Steele family. She could be included in her family registry and be qualified to inherit the family assets! Not every woman who married Jordan had been conferred this privilege.
After all, Hailey had not been acknowledged by the Steeles.
“Thank you, Grandpa. Thank you, Brother Jesse and Sister Yumi!”
In her joy, Lauren picked up her wine glass and downed it in one gulp!
“Hey, hey…”
Jordan didn’t even have time to stop her. He thought that his wife would definitely get drunk tonight.

Sure enough, as she chatted with everyone, Lauren became increasingly relaxed and cheery. Jordan took the opportunity to give her the microphone. “Honey, since you’re so happy today, how about you sing a song for everyone.”
Lauren took the expensive microphone. “Sure!”
Even Chloe was shocked. “Mommy is going to sing?”
Jordan was secretly delighted. Lauren’s voice was so pleasant. Her singing would definitely charm people to death!
Holding the microphone, Lauren stood beside the dining table. In deference to Charleston, she chose a classic oldie. She said, “Grandpa, I will sing ‘Imagine’ by John Lennon for you.”
Jordan spoke up. “You don’t have to sing an oldie. Just sing your current favorite song.”
Lauren thought for a moment. “My current favorite song…”
Lauren’s favorite song at the moment was “Cold Heart” by Elton John and Dua Lipa.
Lauren looked at Jordan. “I’ll sing ‘Cold Heart’ by Elton John and Dua Lipa then. Hubby, can you play for me?”
Lauren knew that Jordan was adept at many musical instruments. Singing acapella was clearly not as good as having musical accompaniment. However, Jordan did not move from his seat. “I’m the young master here, I am not going to lift a single finger!”
Lauren did not expect Jordan to behave like a spoiled young master now that he was home. He would usually cook his own meals and make his own bed in Lauren’s home. Pouting unhappily, Lauren had no choice and started singing.
“It’s a human sign when things go wrong.”
Lauren’s voice was indeed very lovely. Jordan was instantly transfixed and he recalled all the wonderful moments he had with her. However, Lauren fell into a dazed silence after singing that one sentence.
This was because she suddenly heard the sounds of a guitar and drums!
Someone was playing for her! However, Lauren could not see any musicians present when she scanned the area.
Lauren was curious. Where did the music come from?
Jordan smiled. “Silly wife, you’ve never experienced the Steeles’ technological advancements!”
The reason Jordan did not play for Lauren was because there was an automated music system installed here. The moment Lauren started singing, the system would immediately analyze the song and play the appropriate accompaniment music. Not only that, the system could even enhance the singer’s voice and add special effects.
The Steeles were the only ones who held this technology now. If they released this technology to the market, 80% of the people who worked in the music world would lose their jobs!
“When the scent of her lingers and temptation’s strong.”
“Cold, cold heart, hardened by you.”
“Some things lookin’ better, baby. Just passin’ through…”
Lauren’s voice was indeed very pleasant to the ears. Coupled with the powerful music system, her singing was as good as a professional recording
As he listened to the song, Victoria’s image once again appeared in Jordan’s mind!
Victoria was wearing a domineering business suit. Her legs were crossed and she was smoking a slim cigarette. Her regal and enchanting manner created ripples in Jordan’s heart.
Jesse suddenly came over. He placed one hand on Jordan’s shoulder while holding a wine glass in the other.
“Jordan, I previously suspected that your wife was lying to you and nearly caused you to get a divorce. I was too careless. I didn’t expect Jamie to be so cunning and I fell into his trap. You forgive me, right?”
