Victoria was stunned. This old fortune-teller managed to accurately divine Victoria’s background!
Although Victoria was the famous number one beautiful CEO in Orlando, no one knew about her background. Even Ashley, who was the closest to her, did not know that Victoria’s parents had died.
Ashley noticed Victoria’s shocked expression. She asked in surprise, “Ms. Clarke, are your parents really gone? Oh my god… you’re still so young… how could it be?”
Given that Victoria was only in her 30s, that meant thqt her parents should only be in their 60s.
Victoria didn’t deny it. She said to Jordan, “Sir, you’re really an expert. That’s right, my parents left us very early on.”
“Us? Let me see… you have a younger sister, right?”
Jordan continued to pretend to be a psychic.
Victoria was even more impressed now. “Sir, you’re amazing. Yes, I have a younger sister. Sigh, my parents doted on me, but they died soon after my sister was born. She didn’t get to spend much time with my parents…”
At this point, Victoria’s expression darkened.
Yes, Victoria had raised Emily. Emily had never gotten the chance to be doted on by her parents like other girls.
Thinking of Emily, Jordan couldn’t help thinking of Lota. Their situations were similar. He realized that this kind of girl, who lacked her parents’ love, was exceptionally innocent.
Lota was an innocent and silly girl. Emily was more mischievous, but she was also very innocent.
Jordan couldn’t bear to see Victoria’s worried expression. His heart ached for her.
Over the past month or so, Jordan had had enough of seeing Victoria lying on the hospital bed. He hoped that she would be happy. In order to make Victoria happy, he was willing to go against the entire world!
Jordan quickly said, “You don’t have to be too sad. There might be a chance in the future.”
..
“A chance?”
Victoria sensed some implicit meaning behind Jordan’s words.
“Sir, what do you mean by a chance? Do you mean there’s a chance my parents might return to life?”
“My mother, I saw her leave us. But I didn’t personally witness my father’s… could it be that my father…”
Jordan didn’t want to tell her too much about Norman at this moment. According to the timeline, Victoria had to be convinced that Norman was dead at this point, otherwise, she wouldn’t have been tricked by Russell into getting married.
Reaching out again, Jordan said, “The secrets of the heavens cannot be revealed.”
But Victoria was eager to know the secret!
Ever since her father suddenly passed away, her life had changed drastically.
If her father hadn’t died, she would be a blissful, rich and beautiful woman in Houston. She wouldn’t have to work so hard, coming to Orlando alone to face these shrewd big bosses and enduring the complicated business world.
Victoria could tell that the old man in front of her was really an expert. She had heard from her father and Russell that there were really some old experts in this world.
After all, the world of divination was broad and profound. Not all fortune-tellers were liars and cheaters.
Therefore, Victoria helped Jordan up and said, “Sir, are you free? I would like to invite you to my place.”
This was exactly what Jordan wanted. He nodded. “Alright.”
Ashley drove the two of them to Victoria’s villa before leaving.
Returning to Victoria’s house in Orlando, Jordan was filled with emotions. He remembered that the first time he came here, he had eaten hotpot with Victoria and Cory.
Victoria confessed her feelings to Jordan in this house, and he agreed to be with her.
The house was comfortable and modern. Arriving in the living room, Jordan saw the $60,000 Sony Z9G TV. He still remembered that the first time he came, they watched “The Great Gatsby” together.
After arriving home, Victoria changed into slippers and brewed a pot of tea for Jordan.
“Sir, please have some tea.”
Victoria placed the teacup in Jordan’s hand, afraid that he wouldn’t see it.
“Okay.”
Jordan drank his tea and looked at the beautiful Victoria as she sat opposite him.
Victoria was wearing a red short skirt and looked very beautiful.
Even though he was already married to Victoria for some time, Jordan was still very attracted to her.
As the two of them drank their tea, Victoria suddenly asked, “Sir, you just said that there’s a chance in my parents’ matter. What do you mean by that? Did you divine something? Can you tell me?”
Jordan still shook his head and replied, “The secrets of the heavens cannot be revealed. Child, your parents left you so long ago, you should look forward. The most important thing now is your personal life. I would like to talk to you more about your relationships.”
Victoria crossed her legs and picked up a cigarette box. She took out a lady’s cigarette and held it in her mouth.
“I don’t have any relationships. I only have a career.”
Just as she was about to take out a lighter and light her cigarette, Victoria suddenly stopped.
“Oh, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t smoke in front of you.”
Victoria had an assertive manner. Her status was very high in Orlando and she was always surrounded by her subordinates.
Even when meeting other top management, Victoria’s high status allowed her to remain self-assured and domineering. She could smoke if she wanted to and do whatever she wanted. She didn’t have to care about anyone.
However, Victoria was worried that this old fortune-teller might not like the smell of smoke, so she stopped and placed the lighter on the table.
To her surprise, Jordan grabbed the lighter. He slowly reached the lighter toward the slender cigarette in Victoria’s mouth.
Click.
Jordan lit the lighter!
Victoria was momentarily stunned. She finally puffed on the cigarette to light it.
“I don’t mind.”
Jordan put down the lighter and smiled.
He didn’t have to light the cigarette for Victoria. In fact, he didn’t like her to smoke unless she was drinking.
After being with Jordan, Victoria rarely smoked.
But Jordan chose to light this cigarette for Victoria because he refused to do so back in 2020!
Just now, at the Camden’s birthday banquet, Victoria had given Jordan an opportunity. She had deliberately walked up to him and asked him to light a cigarette for her.
However, the proud and arrogant Jordan rejected her on the spot.
So this time, he lit a cigarette to make up for it!
“Thank you.”
Victoria thanked Jordan.
She was not surprised that Jordan could pick up the lighter and light the cigarette for her.
She had interacted with some blind people before. Their hearing far exceeded that of ordinary people. They could perform many everyday tasks by relying on their other senses.
After a pause, Jordan asked, “When… When was the last time you fell in love?”
