The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 17 Our Shared Honor and Disgrace 

Jennifer looked down on Daniel with the disdain of a queen, utterly confident. There was no doubt in her mind that he had deliberately thrown that ring under her seat on the plane to take advantage of her. 

She knew all too well the crooked intentions of such men. 

Jennifer’s confidence solidified Brittany’s belief that Daniel must indeed be a scoundrel. With Joshua’s unexpected appearance, TMO Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

had a chance to recover from its predicament. If TMO’s collaboration 

with Healthy Land fell through because of Daniel, putting the 

company at risk again, that was unforgivable. Brittany had to step in 

and stop it. 

“Master Joshua, you can’t let the actions of this nobody disrupt 

TMO’s partnership. He may be our new assistant, but he hasn’t been officially inducted yet. His behavior does not reflect on TMO!” 

“Master Daniel isn’t associated with TMO?” Joshua looked to Jessica, 

asking, “Is this your opinion?” 

“Daniel is my assistant, and I personally manage him. His actions not only represent me but also the entire TMO. If he truly did such a thing, I am prepared to apologize to Jennifer alongside him.” 

Jessica’s bold declaration shocked everyone present. They stared, unable to believe what they had heard. Was she out of her mind? 

Andrew, seeing through Jessica’s intentions, approached her and reminded her with a smirk, “Ma’am Jessica, I understand you’re taking a gamble here. But such a bet based on a lowlife is not worth it. Once the surveillance video arrives, the truth will be revealed. It’s a bet

you’re certain to lose. It’s unwise to wager the future of TMO, even the entire Matthews family, on a lowlife. 

“Daniel is definitely not a pervert!” Although Jessica’s statement was firm, internally, she was conflicted. She had only known Daniel for a 

couple of days and barely understood him. Her resolute stand 

stemmed from lack of choice. Joshua’s presence and TMO’s deal with Healthy Land became possible through Daniel’s relationship with Joshua. She had to trust him; she had to take the gamble. 

Her stance pleased Joshua, and he was also convinced now that 

Jessica must be Daniel’s woman. Only spouses could stand together 

like this in such moments. 

Jessica moved next to Daniel, looking serious, “You better not let me 

down.” 

“If you haven’t let me down, naturally, I won’t let you down either.” Daniel was moved by her trust in him. At this rate, she should fall for him soon, right? Once she did, she’d truly marry him, and The Grass of Sealed Dragon, promised as a wedding gift, would be his. His life was 

on a path to be saved. 

“The surveillance video is here. To make things clear and vindicate Master Daniel, I’ll project it on the big screen.” Joshua had the staff prepare the video. 

As Daniel stretched, the ring that hung around his neck as a pendant fell and rolled across the aisle, eventually stopping under Jennifer’s seat. Noticing the scene was tilting in favor of Daniel, Joshua quickly paused the video.
