The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 380

Beauty was unimpressed by Jessica's warning.

"Heh," she scoffed with a mocking smile. "A country boy, what can he do? Just a swindler! I have a Master's in Psychology; the idea of him making me cry is laughable—he should be worried about me making him cry."

After dismissing Jessica's remarks, Beauty turned back to Daniel. "Country boy, you still haven't answered me. What will it take for you to willingly leave my cousin Jessica?"

Beauty was trying to trap Daniel, hoping to show Jessica his true colors, regardless of his reply. Even if his conditions were easy to meet, Beauty was sure she wouldn't accept them.

"Beauty asks for my terms, so I'll speak plainly. Jessica is the most beautiful woman in the world, and if you want to take my wife, you should at least compensate me with someone equally beautiful."

Daniel eyed Beauty with evident interest as he spoke, which immediately set off alarms for her.

"Country boy, are you hitting on me?" she snapped.

"Beauty, you're decent-looking and have an okay figure. But compared to my honey Jessica, you're not even close. Since I'm used to the finest, I’m not interested in your turnip delights."

"You..."

Angered beyond measure, Beauty felt like tossing this country bumpkin right out of the car—but she held back her fury. She had already made arrangements, and bickering with Daniel was mainly to taunt him and help Jessica see through him. The real plan to deal with Daniel would come later.

Daniel stopped engaging with Beauty and reached out to stroke Jessica's glossy locks.

"What are you doing? Stop it!"
