The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 568

Wyatt gazed at Maya with a voracious look in his eyes, taking in every inch of her sensational figure. The more he looked, the more his pulse raced with the urge to swoop in closer. Such a temptress was just too alluring.

"Maya, about that billion—do you still want to borrow it? If so, you'll need to show some sincerity," Wyatt said, his tone veering into the inappropriate territory.

Seemingly in a rush, Wyatt suddenly and somewhat crudely invited, "I suddenly feel the need to use the restroom. Would you like to join me, Maya?"

This invite came without any innuendo or subtlety.

Maya was stunned, staring at Wyatt in shock. Such boldness, was he truly asking her to join him in the restroom, without a hint of embarrassment?

The anger that shot through Maya turned her normally fair complexion to a dark and ominous shade. Her nostrils flared as if steam would erupt at any moment.

Faced with Maya's silent and fuming demeanor, Wyatt pressed, "Maya, won't you accompany me to the restroom? If you’re unwilling, then I guess I can't lend you that other billion!"

Without waiting for an answer from Maya, Wyatt began to walk away, deliberately moving at a sluggish pace to see if she would follow.

Maya clenched her fists tightly, fire practically blazing from her eyes. Finally, she gave in and followed after Wyatt, her high heels producing a staccato rhythm against the flooring.

Maya actually followed him?

Could she truly stoop so low?

Despicable! Shameless woman!

Sebastian couldn't utter these words aloud but hurled a barrage of silent insults at Maya. Maya was the goddess he pined for in college and the reason he attended this class reunion.

The gathering had been small, including only four people. Jessica was Wyatt's target, so Sebastian held back. He had thought Maya might be his for the taking, but now, Maya had just followed Wyatt to the restroom.

Noticing Sebastian's distress—akin to being betrayed by a girlfriend—Daniel gleefully prodded him. "Sebastian, you look a bit pale. Is it tough seeing the woman you adore head off to do who-knows-what with another man, right in front of you?"

"Country boy, don't get so smug! Jessica will end up in the clutches of that scum Wyatt if you lose. The world's cruel like that; beautiful women are just playthings for the wealthy. No exceptions!" Sebastian retorted bitterly.

"Sebastian, let me give you a piece of advice—if we keep betting, I won't lose. I'll still win. And if you continue to bet against me, you'll only lose more. You're already down over a billion. If you want to come out on top, there's only one way to do it—bet on me to win back what that deplorable couple will lose in the bathroom!"

Daniel knew Sebastian wouldn't accept his suggestion, but he mentioned it anyway. After all, even if only in times long past, Sebastian had been his disciple. Of course, Daniel would only say this much and nothing more.
