The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 166

Isabella furrowed her brows. All the stones here had gone through multiple layers of screening. Even if there were minor mistakes during the appraisal process, it was impossible for a stone priced at 380,000 to contain an Imperial Green Jade worth a billion. If such an oversight occurred, it would be a colossal blunder.

Or could it be? Was this the reason Daniel agreed to borrow ten billion and repay twenty? Did he know about the Imperial Green worth a billion in the cheaply priced stone?

She had thought Daniel was simply in a bind, only to realize he had tricked her into avoiding a loss. Isabella hadn't actually gained any advantage from the situation.

When she saw how earnestly Daniel spoke, even Jessica started to have a sliver of doubt.

Looking seriously at Daniel, she asked, "Does your third stone really contain the best quality Imperial Green Jade worth a billion?"

Nodding, Daniel assured her with a lighthearted chuckle, "Yeah."

"Nonsense!" Brittany immediately interjected with disdain. "That country boy is the biggest bullshitter. Jessica, don't listen to his lies! His stone was only priced at 380,000, how could it possibly have Imperial Green inside it, let alone the best quality? A billion worth of top-quality Imperial Green? Impossible!"

As they were talking, the staff member picked up the electric saw and started working on Daniel's stone.

The buzzing continued, and the stone split in two. A dazzling green light burst forth, nearly blinding everyone present!

Imperial Green? The finest quality?

Could it really be high-grade Imperial Green? And it was large!

Andrew couldn't believe his eyes; he rubbed them for reassurance. But even after a second look, the stone still glowed an undeniable green.

Isabella looked at Daniel, smiling warmly, "Daniel, you truly didn't disappoint me."

Hearing Isabella's voice made Jessica a touch envious. "Beautiful lady, Daniel is my assistant. There's no need for you to be disappointed."

"Jessica, I know Daniel is your assistant. But being your assistant doesn't make him your man."

"What do you mean? Our company has a policy: during his time as my assistant, he's forbidden from dating! So, as long as Daniel is still my assistant, he can't engage in a relationship with anyone!"

Jessica was almost on the verge of claiming Daniel as her husband. However, her words essentially staked a claim to Daniel in front of everyone present.
