The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 352

"I'm his boss, I just don't want to see him do something dumb! Besides, how could a country boy with a monthly salary of $180 possibly have 100 million dollars?" Brittany explained awkwardly.

In the end, she threatened Daniel, "If you dare go through with this bet, I'll call Jessica and rat you out!"

Unable to control her subordinate, Brittany played her last card by dragging Jessica into the fray. She hoped Jessica could keep the country boy in check.

"Rat me out to Jessica? I'm not afraid of her; do what you want!" Daniel was carefree, unfazed by the threat of being tattled on.

"You said it, don't regret it later!"

"I won't regret it."

"Fine! Calling Jessica now!" Brittany dialed Jessica's number and switched to speakerphone.

Jessica's sweet voice soon filled the room, "Brittany, what's up?"

"Guess what this country bumpkin is up to, Jessica?"

"What's he doing?"

"He's actually gambling during work hours!"

"So what? He's gambling."

"Do you know how much he's betting?"

"How much?"

"100 million!"

"100 million? Well, he always wins when he bets!"

"But this time he's definitely going to lose, one hundred percent!"

"So he loses, big deal!"

"Jessica, it's 100 million dollars! If you don't do something, if you don't freeze his account right now, he's going to lose it all to someone else!"

Daniel looked at Brittany, grinning, "Got anyone else to call, Brittany?"

"You...hmpf!"

Fuming, all Brittany could do was huff, "Don't you gloat!"

"Gloat? I'm just being me, aren't I?"

"You're nothing but a lowlife, a despicable one at that!" She spat the words out in anger.

After her outburst, a sudden realization struck Brittany, restoring her air of superiority. She spoke down to Daniel, full of authority.

"Don't get cocky, country boy! Jessica isn't intervening because she thinks you can win. If you lose that 100 million, just watch how she'll deal with you. She'll fire you and then make you repay every cent of the losses!"

"I won't lose! Didn't Jessica say so? I've never lost at gambling! As long as it's at the table, I'm unbeatable!" Daniel said with a cheerful laugh.

Brittany let out a cold snicker, mocking him, "You've never lost; that's just good fortune! Do you really think your luck will last forever?"
