The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 543

Maya was itching to get started. She had practiced her golf game tirelessly for this reunion, aiming to impress and dominate everyone on the green. That $8.88 million prize had to be hers.

Once everyone arrived at the golf course, Wyatt geared up with a professional air and declared, "Even though most of you are amateurs, and some haven't played golf at all, let's stick to official rules. Seventy-two strokes for eighteen holes."

"Sure, I’m good with that," said Maya, confident.

"I’m in," Sebastian added.

Maya then turned to Jessica with a teasing tone, "You joining us, Jessica?"

"I'll pass," Jessica replied.

"Come on! High-end business often revolves around golf—it's an essential social skill. I think you should take this golden opportunity to broaden your horizons, join us for a round. You might not win but hey, you've nothing to lose; Wyatt’s covering the massive $8.88 million prize."

"Just go ahead without me. I'm not interested," Jessica insisted, uninterested in golf and even less so in playing with Maya.

As soon as Jessica declined, Daniel eagerly stepped forward, grinning wide, "How about I join in instead?"
