Chapter 462 A Command

Daniel had no idea why Jessica would visit his room in the middle of the night, so he made anoffhand remark.

"If it was just you, honey, I'd have a guess as to why you're here. But you brought Beauty along, so Iwouldn't dare speculate. That thought might be just a little too bold."

Jessica sensed something off in his response and shot back with a scowl, "Too bold? Where exactlyare your thoughts going?"

"Of course, towards happiness! Isn't that what life's all about?"

"Happiness? You idiot, what joy are you seeking? I'll beat you to death, see if you're still happythen."

As she spoke, Jessica pinned Daniel to the bed to give him a piece of her mind. In front of Beauty, itfelt like she was asserting her territory.

Daniel cried out as Jessica dealt with him, rolling around, but his hands were far from idle,managing to sneak in a few successful attacks.

Jessica, of course, didn't mind. It wasn't the first time this idiot had taken his liberties with her. No,that's not right—since they were married, his actions were legal, not taking advantage.

"Have you had enough?"

"A lifetime wouldn't be enough."

"Idiot! You're incorrigible!"

After scolding Daniel, Jessica said with irritation, "I came here because there's something I need toclear up with you."

Seeing Jessica get serious, Daniel asked curiously, "What's that?"

"Are you planning to cause trouble at Elliot's birthday banquet?"

Her question flummoxed Daniel.

"Who's Elliot?"

"Smart's grandfather!"

"Oh, Dumbbell's granddad? I'm not looking to cause trouble at his birthday banquet, only asking himto do the honorable thing and make his grandson honor the bet."

"You are not allowed to go!" Jessica commanded quite fiercely.

"Why shouldn't I go? Dumbbell lost the bet to me fair and square! He should honor his wager!"

"Do you understand that by doing this, you'd be humiliating the entire Evans family?"

"If The Evans are humiliated, is that my fault? If they feel disgraced, it's because of their owngrandson's actions. If Dumbbell is willing to honor the bet—comes and kneels before me to call megrandpa before his grandfather's 90th birthday—this can all be forgotten.

But if he doesn't, I'll have no choice but to ask him to fulfill the bet at the birthday event! The Evansmay have their power, but I have my principles. I'm not afraid to offend The Evans for the sake ofmy principles!"

Daniel was confident. No matter how powerful or influential The Evans were, he wasn't afraid ofthem. In this entire world, there was no one whom Daniel feared!

If anyone dared provoke him, he would respond in kind, tooth for tooth, blood for blood!

Jessica knew it was useless to talk further since he wouldn't listen to her. Annoyed, she grabbed hisear, demanding, "Idiot, are you going to listen to me?"

"Ow! Ow! Honey, that hurts! My ear's about to come off, can you be gentler?"

"Are you going to obey or not? If you won’t listen, there's no point in having ears; I might as welltwist them off!"

"I'll listen! I'll listen! I always listen to you, honey!"
