The Understated Dragon Lord
Chapter 904 What a Waste

"This one will do! There's no time to waste. I see you're not just a country bumpkin but a complete waste, unable to do anything right!"

Avery shot him another glare, yelling, "What are you waiting for? Let's hit the road!"

"Mom, you still haven't told me where we're going," Daniel said.

"Don't you know?"

"I want to know, but you haven't told me yet! How could I know?"

"What a waste! Not knowing this or that! What do you know?" Avery replied. "Capital Hotel!"

"Capital Hotel? Mom, who are you going to meet there?"

"You moron! If you can't keep your mouth shut, then just close it! I don't need you talking!"

Avery smacked Daniel on the shoulder.

"Smack!"

That sound was crisp!

"Mom, unless you're meeting an old flame and need me to keep watch, you should at least tell me why we're going to Capital Hotel! I need some information! If you don't tell me anything and something embarrassing happens once we get there, you can't blame me!"

"Country bumpkin, I'll tell you right now. If you make me look bad tonight, you better divorce Jessica when we get back! You must divorce!"

With Avery's tone, it seemed tonight's trip to Capital Hotel was important to her.

"If you let me know in advance why we're going there, I can guarantee you, I won't let you embarrass yourself!"

"Capital Hotel is the grandest and newest hotel in D.C., opening tonight. We're going there together for the grand opening party."

"Opening party? Why aren't you bringing Jessica along or both of us?" Daniel asked, puzzled.

"Do you know who runs Capital Hotel?" Avery asked.

Daniel shook his head, honestly responding, "Nope."

"I knew you wouldn't know! You dumb bumpkin! You don't know anything! How can you match up to my Jessiea? With you like this, how can you help her? To me, you're nothing but a waste! An utterly hopeless waste!"

Avery's harsh words kept surfacing!

"Mom, you know I'm a waste, yet you're taking me there? Aren't you just setting yourself up for an embarrassing situation?"

"I'm taking you so you can wake up and see the reality check. I hope you realize the gap between you and successful people! I know you don't even have a regular job right now."

Unable to hold back, Avery started criticizing Daniel again.

Hearing his mother-in-law's lecture was about to start again, quick-witted Daniel decided to change the topic. He laughed and asked, "You haven't told me yet

who's that Grant, running the Capital

Hotel?"

"It's run by my friend Isla Evans's son-in-law. Her son-in-law, Grant Foster, opened the best hotel in D.C. And look at you, a complete failure, a waste!"

Once she said that, Daniel suddenly got the hint and his mind began to hatch a plan. He looked at Avery, his face lighting up.
