The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 155

"Psh!" Isabella scoffed, rolling her eyes as she flatly refused. "Nope, I don’t want to lend you money!"

"Don’t want to? Beautiful, does that mean you have a billion in liquid assets? Listen, if you lend me a billion, I promise to give you back 11 billion by midnight tonight."

Isabella's interest was piqued the moment Daniel mentioned this. "When you were asking Jessica for money, you offered a fifty percent interest on ten million. Now you come to me, and the interest you're offering has drastically shrunk? What, you think just because I look nice and friendly, I'm easy to fool? If you want to borrow money, that's fine! But the interest has to be higher than what you offered Jessica."

After some thought, Isabella laid out her terms. "You want to borrow a billion from me, okay, but after you're done with your bet with Andrew, you'd have to pay me back 18 billion."

Daniel didn't immediately agree; he turned to look at Jessica. "Darling, you see, this lady is willing to lend me a billion. So now you have a choice. I really need this money, so I'll accept any terms she sets. The question is, will you lend me the money, or shall I take hers?"

The fact that Daniel was calling this woman beautiful and flirting with her had already irked Jessica. Was he now using that same woman to threaten her?

Upon hearing this, Jessica was instantly furious! "Go borrow from whomever you please! I'm not lending you any money!"

Jessica was truly angry. How could Daniel be so thoughtless? Andrew was obviously setting a trap, and Daniel was walking right into it like a fool.
