Seeing Avery act as if the drama she helped cause was none of her business, Daniel showed a full face of displeasure. "It's got nothing to do with you? Were you not the one who fanned the flames?"
"I did fan the flames. So what? I'm telling you, today you slapped Smart eighteen times and knocked out eighteen of his teeth. He will definitely settle the score with you. You better watch your back!"
With those final words, Avery sped off in her Rolls-Royce, leaving Daniel in a cloud of exhaust. Without his mother-in-law to take him home, he surely couldn't take a taxi, could he? It was Jessica's responsibility to deal with her mother's fault.
So, Daniel pulled out his phone and dialed Jessica's number. It rang for quite a while before Jessica finally picked up.
"Why did it take you so long to answer? Don't you love me anymore?"
"Jerk! I've never loved you!"
"Is that true? You really don't love me?"
"Cut the crap, what do you want?"
"I need a favor!"
"Scram! Keep this up and I'm hanging up!"
"Your mom deserted me at the side of the road. Can you come pick me up?"
"I'm busy. Get yourself a taxi, I'm off to pick someone up at the airport."
"If you don't pick me up, some pretty woman might whisk me away!"
"You dare?" Jessica threatened, then said disdainfully, "What a hassle. Send me your location!"
...
Ten minutes later, the stylish Panamera arrived.
