The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 916

What Damian said was, of course, a load of nonsense. His goal was clearly to squeeze more money out of Isla!

As soon as he mentioned the exorbitant cost for the "medication," Isla's brows furrowed.

She was a smart woman and could tell that Damian was going to quote an outrageous price!

What medication could possibly cost millions? Even if the treatment involved liquid gold, it shouldn’t cost that much!

If this so-called medication needed to run into the millions, who knew how much he would charge for other expenses?

Although Isla was wealthy and spent tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, at beauty salons each month, she didn’t want to waste money unnecessarily!

After all, going to a beauty salon was about enhancing her beauty. But this was just a stomachache—spending so much for that was not worth it!

Even at the best hospital in D.C., a visit for a stomachache, including a few painkillers, wouldn’t cost that much!

Not to mention Isla had full insurance coverage; even without that, it would be at most a few hundred dollars—definitely not more than a thousand.

And for a simple stomachache, he was starting off with a price tag over a million?

This wasn’t about treating her; this was pure robbery!

Isla was not a woman to be pushed around; she spoke directly.
