The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 127 Alone

Jessica’s stance left Andrew in shock. In his mind, Daniel, that country boy, was nothing more than an assistant. How could Jessica take such offense to him being scorned?

After the initial surprise, Andrew figured it out. He reasoned that Jessica was likely trying to protect her own reputation. After all, the Matthews were the top family in New York, and Jessica was its heir apparent. Andrew’s insults to her assistant might as well have been directed at her.

Nevertheless, Andrew was convinced Daniel wouldn’t stick around Jessica forever. He was determined to make Daniel understand the meaning of pain the next time he found him on his own.

To appease Jessica, Andrew promptly apologized to Daniel. I’m sorry, Daniel. I shouldn’t have called you a jerk in front of Jessica. I had no idea we still lived in an era where I should consider whether the person I’m insulting is someone else’s property.”

Andrew’s words were hardly apologetic it was another dig at Daniel. But Daniel brushed it off with a chuckle, replying magnanimously, “It’s fine. Nonetheless, I have some advice for you, Andrew. If you must insult me, do so when Jessica’s not around. It’s inconvenient for me to respond properly with her present.”
