The Understated Dragon Lord
Chapter 938 Grant’s Thoughts

While Avery feigned annoyance, smiles appeared on her face revealing dimples, making her even more charming. "Mom, maybe that's why you've fallen for my kind of man?" Daniel teased.

Avery shot him a glare. "Get lost! You're sick!"

As they stepped out of the room, Grant saw Isla's rosy complexion and asked with concern, "Mom, are you alright?"

"What's wrong with me?" Isla snapped back.

"I was just worried the country bumpkin's treatment wasn't working and might make it worse. Did you really let him treat you in there?" Grant said, genuinely concerned.

The expensive doctor Damian had been turned away by Isla for being too pricey. If this country bumpkin managed to cure her for just a hundred bucks, Grant would feel embarrassed.

What puzzled him more was that Isla spent outrageous sums at beauty salons without batting an eye, yet turned down a top-notch doctor simply because he asked for a million.

Grant had thought that if Isla paid, he could reclaim some of it from Damian later, since he figured Damian would give him a cut.

"That bumpkin has no right to treat me!" Isla declared.

She was all about her pride and definitely wouldn't want to admit someone like him had given her treatment. Still, there was a part of her eager to replace another chance for Daniel's help. But it had to be disèreet; no one else could know.

Suddenly, Isla had a plan. "Country bumpkin, aren't you asking me to lend you a million for Jade Gambling? If you win, I'll take fifty percent of the profits, and if you lose you owe me two million! Show me your QR code; I'll transfer the money!"

This was her way to add him as a friend while transferring money, ensuring they could meet up privately later.

Daniel didn't overthink it; he simply pulled up his QR code for her to add him as a friend.

After adding him, Isla transferred one million without any hesitation.

Grant was taken aback, staring at her in disbelief. "Mom, what are you doing giving a million bucks to this bumpkin? Didn't you say you were giving it to him for Jade Gambling?"
