The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 64 Catastrophic Trouble 

It was apparent to Jessica that Brittany had forced Daniel to submit his resignation, a fact she could easily deduce. However, she had not anticipated that Daniel was no fool and would turn the tables on Brittany, placing her in an exceedingly awkward situation. What infuriated Jessica even more was that both Brittany and Daniel, in their attempts to spite each other, had used her–the CEO–as a pawn. Consequently, she decided to assert her authority as CEO and punish them both. 

“Brittany, it was you who insisted on bringing me here to resign, and now Jessica’s angry because of it. You should sort this out. I’ll leave before I incur her wrath further!” Daniel waved to Jessica, his tone dripping with mockery. “Goodbye, dear Jessica! If my presence angers you, or if you want me gone for good, the resignation letter has been submitted–simply sign it.” 

Daniel had scarcely taken a step when Jessica’s resounding command stopped him in his tracks. “Who said you could go? Stay right there!” 

Jessica flung the resignation letter at Daniel, roaring with rage, “Never mention resigning to me again! You have no right to resign! The only scenario in which you would leave is if you are fired!” 

“Yes, Jessica, your word is law! So may I leave now? It seems my presence annoys you; it’s likely for the best that I vanish sooner rather than later.” 

“Get out!” 

With Jessica’s permission granted, Daniel was quick to leave. 

“Don’t you dare!” This time, Brittany was the one who stopped him. “You haven’t explained the whole situation. Where do you think you’re going? Don’t you realize the extent of the disaster you’ve caused? You think you can just escape it?” Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

“What happened?” Jessica asked gravely, turning to Brittany. “Is there anything else you two haven’t told 

me?” 

“Jessica, didn’t you specifically say not to let this idiot go to Windows Street? Yet he didn’t listen and went straight to Windows Street and barged into the Black Panther Club. Simply going there would have been bad enough, but he managed to severely offend Justin as well. He fought and incapacitated dozens of Black Panther Club’s disciples on his own, pouring boiling water into Albert’s mouth. When Justin arrived, instead of stopping and apologizing, Daniel proceeded to beat Justin up, breaking Mr. Justin’s hand in the process. After suffering such humiliation, Justin has threatened to use the muscle of Martial Club United to bankrupt TMO overnight and annihilate The Matthews family!” 

Brittany painted a picture so dramatic it seemed almost biblical in its scope, leaving Jessica in disbelief. She turned to Daniel and asked, “Is what Brittany is saying the truth?” 

“More or less,” Daniel confirmed. 

Brittany, realizing Daniel might accuse her of wrongdoing, scolded him before he could speak. “What do you mean by ‘more or less? Aren’t those people in the Black Panther Club knocked out by you? You didn’t just defeat them; you broke their arms and legs, causing serious injuries. And don’t you know who Albert is? He’s Justin’s son, and yet you dared to scald his mouth with boiling water?”

“I was just helping him clean his filthy mouth, didn’t you see?” Daniel retorted. 

“What are you talking about?” Jessica demanded. 

“He not only said he slept with you–bad enough on its own–but he had the audacity to say in front of me that he would sleep with Jessica next. I couldn’t stand that insolence. I’m Jessica’s assistant! It’s my sacred duty to protect Jessica’s honor and purity! It’s precisely because he defamed Jessica that I used the boiling water to teach him a lesson and cleanse his filthy mouth.”
