The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 208 What Do You Mean?

Brittany had no intention of marrying Daniel. She was just using the statement to express how difficult her mother was to deal with. If the difficulty level to get along with an average person was 1, then getting along with Brittany's mom would be at least 100. Daniel was a country boy without money, power, or notable ability — how could he possibly win over her mother? Even a mayor who once tried to set Brittany up on a date was flatly rejected by her mom.

Daniel gaped at Brittany incredulously. "What did you say? You want to marry me?"

"If you have the ability to win over my mom, then I will marry you! But I know you won’t be able to!" Brittany's whole reason for setting this condition was her damnable pride; she desperately wanted to see Daniel fail for once. Ever since meeting him, that country boy had been lucky every time. She just had to make him lose once!

Every time Brittany went home, her mother pressured her to get married. Brittany figured she'd use Daniel as a shield next time, and let her mom give him a good tongue-lashing while she was at it.

Resolved, Brittany decided she would keep Daniel at The Matthews Organization for the time being - after all, she didn’t have the power to get rid of him just yet.

Currently, Daniel was Jessica's golden boy! For some reason, Jessica believed every word that came out of his mouth.

Just as Brittany thought about how she had been outmaneuvered by setting up this condition, Daniel suddenly spoke up.

"After all this talk, you still want to marry me? Well, I'm not going to marry you! You're a monster; whoever marries you will be cursed for life!"

Brittany was livid, stomping her foot in outrage. "What did you just say? You're saying you won't marry me? You think you're good enough for me?"

"Well, who knows? Maybe one day when I win over your mom, you'll be begging me to marry you. Then I'll refuse, just to see how you'll explain that to her!"

"You think you can win over my mom? In your dreams! Even I can barely handle her, let alone you."
