Chapter 330 Admission

"It was a fake marriage! It doesn't count!" Jessica quickly explained.

"Fake marriage? Are you trying to play me? Look, I'm a virgin, and I won't be played with. If you sayit's fake, then let's go get a divorce. I don’t want any part of this fake marriage!"

"Keep messing around, and I'll wallop you!"

Jessica was fuming – why couldn’t this idiot just follow along? She had no intention of divorcing him!

But, in a way, Daniel’s antics meant she didn’t have to explain to her mother that they were alreadymarried with a certification.

Their exchange shocked Avery once again. This country boy had suggested divorce several times,yet her daughter refused?

Also, the way her daughter looked at this rustic fellow was noticeably unusual; there seemed to begenuine affection between them. Could it be that Jessica had truly fallen for this country boy? Thatwould be absolutely unacceptable! Her daughter was meant to marry into the Evans family, to unitetwo powerful families!

Avery’s face darkened as she rebuked Daniel sternly, "You country bumpkin, you’re from thecountryside, aren’t you? You think you can marry my daughter with your worthless ruralbackground? Impossible! You two must get a divorce. Your marriage pact doesn't count; yourmarriage doesn't count! You must get an annulment tomorrow!"

"Avery, I married Jessica, not you. So, it doesn't matter if you ask me to divorce; we can’t justseparate on a whim. Whether Jessica and I choose to divorce is her decision. If she doesn’t agree,your persistence is futile," Daniel retorted.

Daniel’s line of reasoning made Jessica so mad she nearly smoked in anger.

"Idiot, what do you mean? Are you implying I’m desperate to marry you? If you want a divorce, fine,let’s settle this tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow? I’m busy tomorrow!"

"You..."

Seething, Jessica pinched Daniel hard on the waist and snapped, "Idiot!"

Avery wasn’t a fool; it was clear as day to her that her daughter and the country boy were flirtingwith each other. It seemed her daughter had been charmed by him. If she wanted to sort this out,she needed to deal with the country boy first.

Avery fixed Daniel with a contemptuous glare and prodded, "You’re after my daughter’s money,aren’t you?"

"Of course, but not just the money. She’s so beautiful, and her figure is so stunning. Any man wouldfall for her!"

Daniel's response satisfied Avery. She'd thought she would have to prod him a few more times toextract his true intentions, but to her surprise, he admitted it with just one question.

Quickly, she turned to Jessica with a stern face. "Did you hear what this country boy said, Jessica?He’s not only after your money, but also your body! This kind of man is scum, the dregs of society!You must divorce him immediately, you have to drive him away from your side!"

"Whether he’s scum or not, what he wants from our relationship, I know clearly! I'm in charge of myown marriage, and I don't need you to worry about it!" Jessica declared resolutely.
