The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 905

“So you’re saying by bringing me to Capital Hotel, you want to compare me to Grant?”

Avery frowned at Daniel’s words, looking thoroughly unimpressed, then rolled her eyes. “Are you serious? You think you’re worthy of a comparison?”

“It’s just one Grant! So he opened this fancy Capital Hotel? I couldn’t care less about comparing myself to him!”

…

The Ferrari pulled up to Capital Hotel. After parking, Avery led Daniel to the 88th floor.

This was Capital Hotel’s top floor where the banquet hall was located, and tonight's grand opening party would be held there.

As soon as they stepped into the hall, a glamorous lady with lavish elegance greeted them—it was the hostess of tonight’s event, Isla.

“Avery, why are you so late? Everyone’s been waiting for you! Come on in!” Isla welcomed Avery with warmth.

“This slow driver of mine couldn’t find the way and made some wrong turns, that’s why we’re late.”

Avery pointed a finger at Daniel, throwing him under the bus. “You little brat, where’s your manners? This is Isla!”

“Hi, Isla!” Daniel quickly chimed in with a smile plastered on his face.

“Hello! Hello!”

Isla responded politely, but then her curiosity was piqued.

Because Avery calling this guy a little brat indicated their relationship was much closer than just casual.

Isla’s question about the name was a way to probe Daniel’s background.

After all, she was somewhat familiar with the prominent families in D.C.; once she knew his last name, it would be easy for her to investigate further.

Before Avery could answer, Daniel jumped in, saying, “Isla, my name is Daniel Perkins.”

“Perkins?”

This name made Isla furrow her brows.

In the D.C. elite circles, there was indeed a prominent family by that name.
