The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 260 My Love Is Angry

A stout woman wearing a red coat emerged. It was Mia, incredibly out of place in her attire considering the sizzling summer temperatures around 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Everyone present watched her as if she was a freak.

Ava asked, "Did you kill Jennflower and Handshome?"

"Jennflower is my daughter; she should stay by my side forever," Mia retorted with an eerie calmness that belied the situation.

"So, you killed them because you didn't approve of Jennflower's relationship with Handshome?" Ava probed further.

"I didn’t kill them. I've given them eternal life, so they may always be by my side," Mia explained chillingly, her rationality sounding more like that of a deranged person.

Daniel chimed in, "So you killed them and turned them into evil spirits?"

"My daughter wasn’t obedient, nor was her boyfriend. But spirits are obedient; spirits do as they're told," Mia rambled on.

Suddenly, Mia began chanting an incantation and making strange hand gestures. One by one, horrifically mutilated spirits clawed their way out from the small door. Some were missing limbs, others had sores on their heads or pus leaking from their feet — none were a pleasant sight.

Daniel grabbed the willow branch and charged forward, thrashing at the spirits until none of them remained.

Right after dealing with the spirits, Daniel’s phone rang with a contact labeled ‘My Love’. Upon seeing the caller ID, Daniel exclaimed in shock, "HOLY SHIT!" He quickly answered the call.

The voice on the other end was furious, "Daniel, where are you? I asked you to buy some barbecue, and you’ve been gone so long, you didn’t even call or text."

"My love, don't be mad. I got caught up with something, I'll be right back! Immediately back!" Daniel tried to explain, but Ava suddenly shouted. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

"Scumbag, are you deceiving another innocent girl?"

Since Ava shouted so loudly, Jessica heard her voice clear as day and hung up, seething with anger.

"Beep beep beep..."

Daniel was stunned. He quickly redialed.

"The number you have dialed is switched off."

Damn it! Jessica turned off her phone?

Fearing the worst, Daniel glared at Ava, "What are you yelling for? You made my love misunderstand! If she divorces me over this, you're to blame!"

With that, Daniel left in a rush, first stopping to buy the barbecue and then heading to the company. Finding the CEO's office empty and Jessica nowhere to be found, he hurried to The Matthews' family villa.

Jessica had intended to ignore Daniel, but growing increasingly angry, decided to wait for him in his villa. She wanted to see if he would come home that evening.

Seeing Daniel return, carrying barbecue in his hands, Jessica got up to leave without a word.

"My love, wait!" Daniel quickly wrapped his arms around her from behind.

"Get off me!" Jessica sharply twisted his hand in response.

Pointing at the durian shell on the coffee table, Jessica commanded with furrowed brows, "Put that on the ground and kneel on it. Reflect on what you've done wrong!"
