Randall said, “Lota, don’t be upset. The chances of someone being a mutant are very low.”
Lota smiled and said, “It’s alright. I didn’t want to be a mutant anyway. It’s so tiring. I’m already very tired of being the head of a secret family. I’m not ambitious at all. I just want to be with the person I like and have a blissful life!”
Victoria sneered.”Lota, congratulations. You can have your wish now.”
Lota was stunned. “Huh?”
Victoria said, “Jordan and I have already broken up, and Lauren already agreed to let you be with Jordan. There’s no longer a bad woman like me obstructing you. You can marry Jordan now.”
Lota was very surprised. “You two broke up?”
Jordan’s expression was grim.
Randall said, “Victoria, don’t be like this. You can still be friends even after a breakup. Don’t say such spiteful words.”
Collecting herself again, Victoria looked at Jordan and Lota. “I’m sorry, I wish you the best. You two are a perfect match. Will you invite me to your wedding?”
Jordan didn’t know how to answer her. He knew that she must be very sad and blamed him. She must have blamed Jordan for not loving her and protecting her from the beginning.
Soon after, Randall and Victoria stood up.
Randall said, “It’s getting late. Let’s say our goodbyes here. I’m taking Victoria to Immortal Lake.”
Jordan couldn’t bear to see Victoria leave. He stood up and said, “I’ll go with you. I’m worried about Victoria. After all, Immortal Lake is a dangerous place. With me around, I can predict some situations for her in advance.”
Randall said, “You don’t have to be so worried. I have watched my subordinates jump into the lake, and they’re fine. Don’t worry, with me around, I won’t let anything happen to Victoria. Actually, I would be happy to let you come along but since you’ve just broken up with Victoria, I’m worried your presence will affect her emotions and her performance when she awakens her abilities in the Immortal Lake.”
Victoria looked at Jordan. “Jordan, no need for you to come along. Your uncle is very experienced in this area. I’ll be fine.”
In that case, Jordan could only say, “Alright, I won’t go then. Victoria, I wish you success.”
“Mmm.”
Victoria didn’t say anything else and quickly turned to leave with Randall.
Watching Randall and Victoria leave, Jordan’s heart ached.
The woman who had belonged to him the night before had left him.
But who was to blame?
If Jordan had been more determined last night and held Victoria back, everything would have been fine. If so, Jordan would be able to go to the Immortal Lake with Victoria and watch her awaken her ability. He could watch her rise to become a mutant and share her joy with her!
Lota watched as Randall’s plane took off. She said to Jordan, “Jordan, is Victoria going to soar into the sky in the future? If she has a very powerful superpower, do you think she will look down on us? I just felt that she’s different from before. In the past, she would be a little subdued when interacting with me. Perhaps it’s because I am from a secret family and she felt inferior. But the way she spoke to me just now and the way she looked at me was clearly superior.”
Likewise, Jordan could also tell that Victoria was not immersed in the pain of falling out of love. Instead, she had a new goal.
“Victoria has always been a strong woman and doesn’t like to rely on others. For her to become a mutant, it must be the biggest turning point in her life. I’m very happy for her too.”
Lota approached Jordan and asked softly, “Jordan, did you really break up with her?”
Jordan nodded.
Lota continued to probe. “You won’t get back together?”
Jordan sighed. “I don’t think so. Although I still like her and she still loves me deeply, we can’t be together anymore.”
It was true that Jordan regretted it very much now. He hated himself a lot. Why did he sleep with Victoria that night when he was disguised as William?
Even if Victoria had gone out to find another man, he shouldn’t have done such a thing with her!
That night with Victoria had completely shattered Jordan’s image of her!
And it was irreparable!
But Lota was very happy now. She took Jordan’s hand and asked carefully, “Jordan, then can we…”
It was no secret that Lota had always liked Jordan. Previously, Victoria had objected. Now that Victoria was no longer Jordan’s woman, Lota could officially be with him!
So Lota happily took the initiative to kiss Jordan, but he pushed her away.
Jordan said, “Lota, I’m sorry. I just broke up with Victoria. I’m not in the mood for this now, and I can’t do this with you. We used to be lovers who were deeply in love. It is normal to feel a long period of emptiness after breaking up. This is our respect for each other! I’m not the only one. Victoria is the same.”
Lota seemed to understand. “Oh. How long do you think it will be before Victoria finds a boyfriend again?”
Jordan said, “From what I know about her, I’m afraid it will be at least a few years. The main thing is that with me as her ex, I have set the bar too high, while she’s a woman who likes to be conquered. There aren’t many men in the world who can meet her requirements.”
Lota nodded. “That’s true. After being with you, it will be very difficult to like another man. Victoria is so pitiful.”
“Sigh.”
Jordan sighed again. He was very worried about Victoria. Although he couldn’t follow them to the Immortal Lake, he had to know the situation there. So if anything happened to Victoria, he would be the first to know and save her!
He believed in Randall’s ability and that he wouldn’t disregard Victoria’s life.
However, if anything happened, no one was more qualified to save Victoria than Jordan. He was the man who loved her the most!
Therefore, Jordan called Lauren. “Lauren, are you back yet?”
Lauren replied, “I was just about to return.”
Jordan had told Lauren yesterday that she could return from Immortal Lake in Mount Denali. Shaun was already dead, so there was nothing left to monitor.
Jordan said, “Don’t come back yet. Continue to monitor the situation there. My uncle is bringing Victoria to the lake to awaken her superpowers.”
Lauren was shocked. “Awaken her superpowers?”
Jordan said, “Yes, Uncle said that Victoria is also a mutant and a very high-level one. However, I’m still worried about her state of mind. After all, we just broke up. I’m afraid that she will be heartbroken and risk everything because she loves me too much. What if something happens to her before she obtains her superpowers in the Immortal Lake? I’m worried that she will try to commit suicide!”
