The Understated Dragon Lord
Chapter 153

Chapter 153 Jessica’s Plan 

Brittany took over, urging with impatience. “Exactly, hurry up and concede defeat! What makes you think you can compete with Andrew? Do you honestly believe you can win? Better to admit defeat now, crawl around this place like a dog, and bark. Take tonight’s embarrassment as a lesson, so you don’t make the same mistake again.” 

Brittany was most eager to see Daniel humiliated. If he ended up crawling and barking like a dog, she intended to record the entire thing. She’d then share the video 

with the company group and on the internet. Her goal was to tarnish the country 

boy’s reputation so severely he’d be too embarrassed to work at The Matthews 

Organization again. 

“Brittany, shut your mouth!” Jessica snapped, then she turned to Andrew and 

reminded him sternly, “Andrew, if you can’t handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen! 

Changing the rules on a whim to win is unfair to Daniel. Your behavior is truly despicable!” 

Jessica’s words made Andrew’s face flush with anger. “Unfair? What did I do? How is 

this bet unfair? He’s the one with no guts to put up a billion and yet dares to bet with 

1. me. If he’s accepted the bet, he’s got to show the cash! No cash, no choice but to 

neatly admit defeat!” 

“Andrew, at the beginning, we made it clear in front of everyone. If Daniel could turn 

a ten million dollar stake into ten times that, he wins. Now, Daniel turned a mere fifty 

thousand dollars into a Blood Jade worth twenty million. With his remaining stake of 

nine million nine hundred and fifty thousand, plus the twenty million he earned, and 

the twenty million you lost to him, that adds up. He’s got a total of forty–nine million 

nine hundred and fifty thousand dollars. All he has to do is double that money, and 

he’ll have a hundred million/If Daniel reaches a billion dollars, he wins. You lose. According to your bet, Andrew, you should crawl around this venue like a dog and 

bark!” 

“Jessica, if you want to talk sense, let’s clarify things. Betting ten billion against me 

was his idea, not something I forced on him,” Andrew defended his position. 

“When did you ever agree to him?” Jessica shot a look at Daniel, then asked, “Daniel, 

and vel ever norms to accept Andrews challenge?” 

Yes! accepted his challenge!” Daniel’s reply nearly left Jessica breathless. 

Wasnt her hint obvious enough? Couldn’t Daniel get it? 

Jessica’s expression soured as she demanded, “You agreed to what? Why didn’t I 

bear it?” 

She was giving Daniel a chance to back out, passing him the opportunity to reconsider. If Daniel took it, she would take care of the rest. Jessica’s bottom line 

was that she would not allow Daniel to be humiliated. Andrew’s affairs were of no 

concern to her. 

The ideal outcome for Jessica was to call off the bet altogether. That way, everyone could walk away without disgrace, and it would be a happy ending for all! 

The Matthews and The Armstrongs, though rivals, were both prominent families in New York. Some things didn’t need to be taken too far; someone being humiliated today would be bad news for both families. 

Maybe the competition behind closed doors was fierce, but in situations like this, both families should at least display a united and friendly front! 

Jessica looked at Daniel with anticipation in her eyes, waiting for his final answer.
