The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 923

“Avery, do you actually think this hick can win?” Isla asked curiously.

“There’s no way he can win! Just wait till he loses—he’ll see how I punish him!”

The reason Avery agreed to cover the million was that she had more confidence in Daniel losing. Once he lost, she would make him divorce Jessica.

Her daughter can’t marry a hick like that! She can’t let this hick mess up her daughter’s life!

Jessica is such a great girl; it would be a shame for her to get tied down to a fool like him!

Hearing Avery’s response, Isla couldn’t help but smile, her eyes sparkling.

She knew her friend too well.

A million bucks was just pocket change for Avery; she didn’t care about it at all.

So Isla believed what Avery said, hoping this hick would lose.

The plan was to make sure that after he lost, she could punish him thoroughly!

Isla looked at Daniel, smiling sweetly. “Hick, even though my friend agreed to lend you a million, she doesn’t really believe you can win. So, are you still sure you want to bet against me? If you lose and owe me a million, how are you going to pay? If my mother-in-law gets angry, can you handle her wrath?”

“Your words make it sound like if I don’t lose a million, my mother-in-law won’t punish me. She could use any excuse she wants to punish me!

“I mean, treating you can be a private affair. I’d feel more comfortable not doing this in front of everyone. I’m a doctor, so it doesn’t bother me, but I’m just worried about you feeling awkward.”

Daniel's suggestion was undoubtedly well-intentioned and sincere.

He only needed to give Isla one needle, but afterward, her reaction could be quite dramatic.

In a public space, making strange noises wouldn’t be too classy.

So, it was better to find somewhere more private.
