The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 214

Brittany immediately sensed something peculiar in Amelia's gaze and quickly called out, "Cousin, what are you looking at?"

"I... I wasn't looking at anything," Amelia stammered in denial. She dared not admit she had been watching Daniel or that she might have been developing inappropriate feelings for him.

Daniel cheekily took over the conversation, "Cousin was obviously admiring me, the handsome guy here!"

"Handsome? You?" Brittany rolled her eyes dismissively and rebuked, "Shameless country bumpkin!"

"How do you know I smell? You haven’t even had a taste of me!"

"You are..." Brittany stammered, frustrated and ranting, "You’re nothing but base scum!"

Having said that, Brittany grabbed a lobster shell from the table and threw it at Daniel. She aimed for his face, but just as the shell came within centimeters of touching him, Daniel casually flicked it away with a dining knife.

"Cling!"

Just like a ping-pong ball, the lobster shell ricocheted back, hitting Brittany right in her made-up face with a greasy slap.

Enraged, Brittany stormed over to Daniel and pummeled him fiercely. Her punches fell on Daniel's back and chest like torrential rain.

Amelia suddenly felt something odd stirring in her heart, almost like jealousy.

The voice seemed eerily familiar to Justin, though he couldn’t immediately recall who it belonged to. Regardless of who it might be, the very idea that someone would expect Justin to peel lobster for them was preposterous.

"Irradiated with rage, Justin retorted, "You want me to peel lobster for you? How about I give you two slaps across the face!"

He then kicked the door open with force.

"Bang!"

Justin sent the door crashing down. The wooden door was already old and cracked; Amelia had long planned to replace it. With Justin’s powerful kick, it toppled over with a loud thud.
