The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 507 Catastrophe

"Fine! I'll take that bet! If you can turn this hundred into a billion, I'll give you a kiss. But if you don’t make it to a hundred billion, you lose. Then you have to break up with Jessica and never appear before her again," Lily laid out her condition, certain that Danny couldn't win.

"Lily, you seem so eager for me to break up with Jessica. Got any plans brewing in that head of yours?" Danny teased.

"What plans could I possibly have? I don’t have any plans," Lily dodged the question.

"Lily, just one look and I can see right through your little schemes. You keep trying to make me break up with Jessica because you want to use her to take the fall for you, don't you?" Danny accused.

"What are you talking about?" Lily’s tone was a mix of irritation and feigned curiosity.

"In a family like The Matthews, you must make marriage alliances with other powerful families, right? If Jessica marries me, she won't be available to marry into another wealthy family. That responsibility would fall to you. And you, Lily, don’t want to sacrifice your own happiness or your marriage for the sake of a family alliance," Danny deduced.

"Nonsense! That's not it at all! I am a daughter of The Matthews, and I would give everything for my family!" Although Danny had struck a nerve, Lily remained defiant.

"Yeah, yeah, you'd sacrifice everything for The Matthews, including your marriage. If The Matthews required you to marry That Retard or Down, you’d do it, wouldn’t you?" Danny didn't miss a beat.

"Ugh! Those two are not worthy of me," Lily spat with contempt.

"Not worthy of you, but they’re good enough for Jessica? I'm just a country boy who Jessica’s willing to marry. If she could marry into The Evans or become the young mistress of The Perkins, she

wouldn't be at a loss," Lily reasoned, placing her family status above Jessica’s.

“Lily, there’s an old saying – ‘Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire.’ You wouldn't want to marry those men, yet you'd be willing to push Jessica toward them. That's like pushing her into hell!" Danny confronted.
