The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 537

Daniel was taken aback by Jessica’s bold grab and couldn’t help but ask, “Honey, what are you doing?”

“Why should I tell you what I’m doing? I’m just checking to see if it’s still there,” Jessica replied with a mischievous smile, retracting her hand.

“Just checking with your hand doesn’t prove anything. At least use your mouth if you really want to check,” Daniel retorted playfully.

“Get lost!” Jessica snapped back at him, still in no mood for jokes.

Their banter was interrupted by the roaring engine of a green Porsche 911, zipping towards them like a bolt of green lightning. The man driving was wearing Givenchy, flaunting a gold chain around his neck. His name was Wyatt Money, a real estate mogul, one of Jessica’s college classmates, and the young owner of the Harmony Group.

During their university days, his family was the wealthiest. Most were unaware of Jessica’s illustrious background—that she belonged to New York's number one family and was part of the Matthews, ranking third among The Eight Families of Washington.

Back in school, Wyatt had tried to win Jessica’s attention by flaunting his wealth, but money had never impressed her. Despite his persistent attempts, he had never succeeded, which remained his biggest regret from college.

This reunion was organized by Wyatt, and his motives were as clear as ever—to finally win over the woman of his dreams. Undeterred by his past failures, he was determined to use this gathering to make Jessica his.

The screech of tires marked the arrival of Wyatt’s Porsche 911, performing a stylish drift to a halt next to the pink Beetle. It was intentional; spotting Jessica inside the Beetle, Wyatt wanted to make an entrance and catch her attention. But at the moment, Jessica was too absorbed in sparring with Daniel to notice.
