The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 153

Brittany took over, urging with impatience. "Exactly, hurry up and concede defeat! What makes you think you can compete with Andrew? Do you honestly believe you can win? Better to admit defeat now, crawl around this place like a dog, and bark. Take tonight's embarrassment as a lesson, so you don't make the same mistake again."

Brittany was most eager to see Daniel humiliated. If he ended up crawling and barking like a dog, she intended to record the entire thing. She’d then share the video with the company group and on the internet. Her goal was to tarnish the country boy's reputation so severely he'd be too embarrassed to work at The Matthews Organization again.

"Brittany, shut your mouth!" Jessica snapped, then she turned to Andrew and reminded him sternly, "Andrew, if you can't handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen! Changing the rules on a whim to win is unfair to Daniel. Your behavior is truly despicable!"

Jessica's words made Andrew's face flush with anger. "Unfair? What did I do? How is this bet unfair? He's the one with no guts to put up a billion and yet dares to bet with me. If he's accepted the bet, he's got to show the cash! No cash, no choice but to neatly admit defeat!"

"Andrew, at the beginning, we made it clear in front of everyone. If Daniel could turn a ten million dollar stake into ten times that, he wins. Now, Daniel turned a mere fifty thousand dollars into a Blood Jade worth twenty million. With his remaining stake of nine million nine hundred and fifty thousand, plus the twenty million he earned, and the twenty million you lost to him, that adds up. He's got a total of forty-nine million nine hundred and fifty thousand dollars. All he has to do is double that money, and he'll have a hundred million. If Daniel reaches a billion dollars, he wins. You lose. According to your bet, Andrew, you should crawl around this venue like a dog and bark!"

"Jessica, if you want to talk sense, let's clarify things. Betting ten billion against me was his idea, not something I forced on him," Andrew defended his position.

"When did you ever agree to him?" Jessica shot a look at Daniel, then asked, "Daniel, did you ever agree to accept Andrew's challenge?"
