The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 466

Jessica's response caused Pork's jaw to drop in amazement; he also realized belatedly what was going on. No wonder this country boy had called him brother-in-law—he was Jessica's husband.

But that couldn't be right. How could this country boy possibly be Jessica's husband? Jessica was supposed to align herself with The Evans by marrying Smart. This development had to be corrected promptly; Pork couldn't allow Smart to find out that Jessica was already married, and to such a seemingly ordinary man, no less.

The more Pork thought about it, the more it didn't add up. Jessica was a proud goddess, a queenly figure—how could she stoop so low as to marry a country boy? Daniel must be some kind of decoy Jessica was using.

As someone with some scheming abilities, Pork didn't plan to lash out at Daniel directly. Instead, he said, "Since this country boy is Jessica's husband, let's all go and visit grandfather."

This wasn't an invitation out of goodwill. Avery was at the hospital, and bringing Daniel along would surely result in his dismissal.

Soon, the Rolls-Royce pulled into 108 Hospital. Under Pork's guidance, the trio arrived at the emergency room entrance, where Avery was pacing anxiously.

"Cousin, how's grandfather?" asked Pork.

"They’re still trying to save him," Avery responded.

Then, Avery caught sight of Daniel and her face instantly filled with displeasure.

"Why are you here?" she snapped indignantly.

"Mom, I missed you," Daniel retorted facetiously.
