    As they were talking, another boy entered the room, clad in white and carrying


    a birthday cake in hand.


    “May I ask who is Mr. Colton Henley?” the boy asked.


    Colton said, “I am.”


    The boy maneuvered over and handed the cake he was carrying to Colton. “Mr.


    Miller, this is the birthday cake you ordered from our store.”


    Pindrop silence ensued, and only then did Colton believe that the luxurious


    1.5-meter high cake was realy ordered by Lauren’s husband!


    Besides, the cake that he ordered was not even one-fifth of the height of the


    cake! How could he not feel embarrassed! The birthday cake he ordered was


    nothing compared to Jordan!


    Meanwhile, Jordan did not continue to embarrass Colton. He didn’t know


    Lauren’s classmates at all. However, since Lauren was willing to come to the


    classmates’ reunion, it meant that she still had a good relationship with this


    group of classmates. Otherwise, given Lauren’s family background, how could


    she possibly attend the classmates’ reunion?


    Nowadays, classmates’ reunions were basically meaningless and only initiated


    by those who were doing relatively well. The purpose of the gathering was to


    either show off or to find out where their classmates were working, in case


    they could use each other in the future.


    Jordan didn’t want to disturb Lauren’s gathering and was just there to give her


    a surprise. Since he had already delivered the surprise, Jordan said, “Honey, go


    ahead with your gathering. I’l head off first.”


    The reason he did not stay was because the classmates’ gathering was his


    wife’s private event and there were lots of male classmates there. If Jordan


    stayed, it would look like he didn’t trust his wife and had to keep a close eye on


    her.


    He did not want to give Lauren that kind of feeling again. He wanted to tell


    Lauren that he trusted her completely.


    However, seeing that Jordan was about to leave, Colton interjected, “Since


    Lauren’s husband is here, why don’t we all sit down and have a meal together.


    Don’t go.”


    Likewise, her female classmates quickly asked him to stay behind. “Yeah, come


    join us. We don’t have many people here anyway. There are still lots of empty


    seats here.”


    Jordan looked at Lauren in a bid to ask for her opinion.


    Since Lauren didn’t object, Jordan said, “Okay, Ill pour Lauren some wine


    then.”


    Lauren smiled and a few of them returned to their seats. Colton sat in the


    middle, clearly the most domineering one.


    After sitting down, Lauren introduced each person to Jordan one at a time, and


    when it came to Colton, he deliberately pointed out his identity as the class


    president, as well as his father’s job and position as a government official.


    Jordan could also tell that Colton had the best career among all of them, and


    was also the one who liked bragging the most.


    After being introduced to each other, Colton suddenly asked Jordan, “Dude,


    which unit do you work in?


    A male classmate laughed and said, “Colton, you shouldn’t rub salt in others


    wounds. Didn’t Lauren just say that her husband is jobless?


    With a look of embarrassment, Lauren said self-deprecatingly, “Yes, my


    husband and I don’t have any proper jobs, unlike you guys who work in big


    corporations who hold high statuses and great power.”


    Colton immediately put down his cutlery and said, Lauren, that’s not right


    You and your husband are different. Everyone in DC knows that as long as


    Lauren wants to work, she can enter any unit she wants. All it takes is one


    word. But your husband seems to be… It’s okay, Jordan, you seem to play the


    piano very well and your voice is nice too. How about I get you a job at the bar


    as a singer?A hundred bucks a night for singing a few songs from eight to


    eleven at night. It’s not tiring either.”


    A male classmate laughed and said, “Yeah, you can make three grand a month.


    That sounds like quite a good job.”


    Colton also laughed and said, T should help a classmate out.”


    Jordan could tell that Colton, the class president, was deliberately making him


    feel embarrassed.


    In all honesty, Jordan couldn’t be bothered to go to work. Even if he really


    couldn’t find a job, the Howards would still be able to give him an allowance of


    at least three grand a month.


    Colton said, “We all know that the Howards are rich. You don’t lack those few


    thousands of dollars but as a man, I still think you can come out to make


    money on your own. What’s wrong with using a woman, right?”


    Another male classmate said, “Brother, although you are Lauren’s live-in


    husband, we and Lauren have been former classmates for years. If you face any


    difficulty, you can tell us directly”


    “These hypocritical guys


    Jordan was extremely displeased. Lauren’s female classmates were not too bad


    but her male classmates who seemed to treat Jordan well on the surface were


    in fact taking every chance to insult him.


    They kept mentioning the fact that Jordan was a live-in husband.


    If it were any other place and occasion, this gang would have long been thrown


    out by Salvatore and the others. However, it was his wife’s birthday and also


    the day of her reunion with her classmates. Jordan didn’t want to mess up


    again.


    Besides, he suddenly remembered that the most important thing to do now


    was to complete his business trial!


    Indeed, he wanted to have a high status in the country and the industry he


    chose was the entertainment industry!


    Hence, Jordan looked at Colton and said, “Thank you for your kindness.


    Actually, I have some formal business to attend to.”


    Lauren held onto Jordan’s hand below the table before shaking her head at him.


    She thought that Jordan must be wanting to say that he was working as a


    security officer or a courier delivery or a takeout deliverer.


    The Steeles were rich and had always felt that all jobs were equal. There was


    nothing wrong with admitting to that. However, Lauren did not want Jordan to


    tell her classmates that he was working as a security officer or some other


    lowly job.


    The classmates had always treated Lauren as a goddess who was put on the


    pedestal and once they knew that Lauren married a man that was inferior to


    them, they wouldn’t be able to take it.


    “Don’t


    Lauren looked at Jordan.


    Jordan could already tell what Lauren meant by stopping him.


    “Hah, Honey, do you think I was going to say T’m a security officer or a courier


    deliverer? Don’t worry, your husband is not going to embarrass you in front of


    your classmates!


    However, Jordan spoke up and said to everyone, “Tm in the entertainment


    industry.


    Everyone was shocked.


    You’re the boss of a film and television company?


    “So impressive. No wonder he’s so talented. It turns out that he’s the owner of


    an entertainment company!”


    Listening to the female classmates’ compliments, Colton was upset and he


    didn’t believe that Jordan was telling the truth!


    The reason being Colton realized that even Lauren was shocked.


    It was obvious Jordan was lying and bragging!


    Colton asked, “Buddy, since you are the boss of a film and television company


    and a business tycoon in the entertainment industry, there must be many


    artistes signed to your company, right?”


    Jordan nodded and said, “Yes, there are quite a few.”


    Colton smiled and asked, “Who are they?


    Jordan thought for a moment and said, “Maggie Stone!”
