The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 158

Daniel didn't respond immediately but instead turned to Jessica. "Jessica, can I agree to this beautiful lady's condition?"

"You decide for yourself! I'm not interested in managing you! But let me remind you, you're still my assistant. If you dare work part-time for someone else, I'll break your legs!" Jessica was angry, and her words served as a final warning to Daniel, also setting her boundaries.

That is, Daniel could borrow a billion from Isabella, but he can't lose. Jessica knew Daniel wasn't stupid; if he wasn't sure he could win, he wouldn't borrow such an amount.

Seeing Daniel always consulting Jessica for decisions piqued Isabella’s jealousy, like her man was being wooed away by another woman.

"Jessica is not stopping you now, you have to decide. Now, make up your mind! Do you want to borrow this billion or not? If not, you'll have to concede defeat to Andrew."

"I, of course, want to borrow the billion! I won't lose! But if I help you win ten billion, beautiful, shouldn't you treat me to a meal?" Daniel half-jokingly suggested.

"Don't you dare!" Jessica was quick to counter.

"Can't I even ask another woman to treat me to a meal?" Daniel asked.

"No!"

"Why not?"

Caught off guard by her sudden question, Andrew hesitated before asking back. "Beautiful, are you really capable of coming up with a billion? And you're willing to lend it to a penniless country boy?"

"Whether I have the money, I believe the facts speak for themselves! If we are going through with this bet, Andrew, I think we should establish clear rules first. Before we start, both you and he will need to deposit a billion into a joint account provided by the host. In the end, whoever wins gets to take all twenty billion in that account!"

Isabella was an extremely intelligent woman. She anticipated that Andrew might renege on his word if he lost. Therefore, she came up with the idea of a joint account as a precaution.

Once the billions were in the joint account, even if Andrew wanted to back out, he wouldn't be able to.
