The Understated Dragon Lord -
Chapter 906 Isla's Cold Laughter
But there was only one Perkins family in D.C.!
That family was the city's first family-The Perkins!
Because The Perkins were well-known and respected, everyone in the circle knew who their descendants were.
In Isla's memory, no one from The Perkins was named Daniel.
However, to confirm, Isla straightforwardly asked, "Are you from The Perkins in D.C.?"
"Um..."
Daniel hesitated, giving a soft "um."
After that, he thought about his identity as the second heir of the Perkins family in D.C. He believed it was true, but he wasn't completely sure.
So, finally, he shook his head and said, "I'm an orphan and grew up in the countryside."
"An orphan? Grew up in the countryside?"
Isla looked incredulously at Avery and asked, "Is your son-in-law really an orphan? No parents at all, with no background?"
"Yup!"
Avery nodded and replied with a look of disdain.
"He really is an orphan. No parents, no background, and he has no skills-he's basically useless!"
After hearing this from Avery, Isla was stunned.
"Avery, your daughter Jessica is such a good girl and so beautiful. How could you agree to let her marry someone with no parents and no background? Isn't that pushing her into a pit?"
"My daughter is so stubborn. I don't know what she's thinking, and I can't change her mind. So, I brought this loser here tonight to show him the gap between them. Hopefully, Ke'll realize he should back off from my daughter!"
Avery's words were half-truths.
If Daniel turned out to be too incompetent compared to Grant, she could use that as an excuse to say he embarrassed her and get him
away from Jessica.
If Daniel somehow won, that would also be an impressive feat for her since it meant someone she deemed unworthy managed to best her good son-in-law!
In any case, whether Daniel won or lost, it would be advantageous for Avery.
However, weighing her options, she hoped Daniel would win.
After all, women love their vanity, especially when showing off in front of their best friends!
Upon hearing Avery's words, Isla let out a cold laugh.
"Ha!"
After her laugh, Isla disdainfully said, "Avery! If you want that hick to leave your daughter, why compare him to my son-in-law? You could just replace anyone outside to compare him with My son-in-law compared to him is like comparing the sun to a firefly!"
At that point, Isla pointed at the original stones displayed on stage.
With a mischievous smile, she looked at Daniel and asked, "Hick, do you know what these are?"
"What else could they be? They're just stones! A bunch of big rocks!"
Daniel's answer got another cold laugh from Isla.
"Ha!"
After laughing, she smugly said, "Hick, these aren't just big rocks. They're original stones!"
"Oh! Original stones!" Daniel nodded.
