Chapter 415 Shamelessness

"If I fail to do it, you can handle me however you want. Whatever you ask, I'll do," Daniel

nonchalantly replied.

"Done! I’ll take that bet!" Beauty readily agreed.

She didn't believe Daniel could win. What truly mattered was that if she won this time, she could

demand Daniel divorce Jessica and leave her forever. Then, Jessica could marry Smart, and

Beauty's own plans would flourish—a victory for The Matthews. Pushing Jessica into another

marriage meant Beauty could avoid an arranged marriage herself and wouldn't have to sacrifice her

happiness to someone she didn't adore. If she left The Matthews due to marriage, she'd lose any

standing in the family; their prosperity would mean nothing to her. Beauty had no intentions of

enduring such a loss, hence her plan to have Jessica take on the obligation, which was the real

reason why she had agreed to Avery’s request to convince Jessica to reconsider.

"Beauty, you agreed so quickly. Do you really want to kiss me that much?" Daniel teased.

"Kiss you? In your dreams!" Beauty rolled her eyes. "You country bumpkin will definitely lose! When

you meet the Tiger King, you’ll probably freeze in fear, let alone tame it."

Soldier suddenly had a thought and quickly chimed in. "Country kid, this hen was your idea. You

said it could lead us to the Tiger King. So if we don't find the Tiger King within an hour, that means

you lose, and you’ll have to kneel and call me 'grandpa!'"

In a last-ditch effort to make Daniel lose—and kneel before him—Soldier was tossing aside all

pretense of dignity.

Daniel didn't respond directly but turned and smiled at Beauty. "What do you think?"

"Think about what?"

"About what Soldier said. He wants me to find the Tiger King within an hour. If I don’t, I lose?"

Hearing this, Beauty couldn't help but laugh. "When you bet with Soldier, I was a fair judge. Now,

I’m no longer impartial. Like Soldier, I’m hoping for your defeat."

"Hoping for my loss? That hope won't be fulfilled, I’m afraid," Daniel grinned.

"Country kid, since you’re so confident you won't lose, why are you afraid? Just accept Soldier’s

conditions and bet with him!"

"Beauty, you really like taking advantage of me! Taking such big advantage, doesn’t it weigh on your

conscience?"

"I don't have a conscience," Beauty retorted bluntly, leaving Daniel at a loss for words.

Seeing Daniel struck silent, Beauty prodded, "What's the matter? Weren't you always so confident?

Why so afraid now?"

"Afraid? Fear is not a word in my dictionary!"

"Well, country kid, since you're not scared, go ahead and accept the challenge! Agree to Soldier’s

terms and find the Tiger King within an hour!"
