The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 115 Who Dares to Slander My Assistant 

Right after Nathan made his call, the sound of clicking high heels approached from outside. A gorgeous woman of exceptional beauty walked in it was Jessica!

Seeing the scene before her, she furrowed her brows slightly before turning her attention to Daniel.” What’s going on?” Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“They accused me of stealing and called security to beat me up. Then I handled the situation when those shortsighted guards attacked me,” Daniel explained. 

Jessica’s anger flared at his response. “How dare you accuse my assistant of stealing?” 

Scanning the crowd, she demanded to know, “Who started this?” 

Jennifer, realizing things were taking a turn for the worse, quickly pointed at Harper. “Her!” 

Caught off guard, Harper protested, “Jennifer, it was you who said that country boy was a thief just moments ago.” 

“I said that? I only mentioned that we need evidence! Meanwhile, you called security to attack him without solid proof and then had the audacity to lose face when those guards couldn’t overpower him. Embarrassing!* 

Jennifer was no fool. She could manipulate the situation to her advantage when Daniel was alone, but with Jessica present, she wouldn’t dare act against him, or even speak ill of him. Her only goal was to see Daniel in trouble, and she succeeded. 

Now all she had to do was sit back and see how the situation unfolded. Throwing Harper under the bus was a ruthless move, but Harper, just a store clerk, certainly wasn’t in a position to offend Jennifer, 

After calming down and assessing Jessica further, Harper noticed that despite the woman’s stunning beauty, she wasn’t dressed in luxury brands which could indicate a comparatively modest background. As a long–time employee at Ancient Mall, Harper had never seen her before, suggesting that she was not as prestigious as Jennifer. 

Jennifer, despite all her status, was nothing special in front of The Harrisons. To Harper, someone less distinguished than Jennifer, even if physically attractive, had no business calling the shots at Ancient Mall. 

“Do you even know where you are? You say that country bumpkin is your assistant? Perfect. If he’s stolen from Ancient Mall, maybe you’re the instigator, which makes you an accomplice!” Harper spat out, escalating the altercation and drawing Jennifer’s silent approval. 

Last time she shopped there, Harper had played her for a few extra thousand on an item of clothing, and now she had the gall to speak to Jessica like this. However, Jennifer certainly wasn’t going to inform Harper that the woman standing before her was Jessica, the heiress of New York’s first family. 

As the conflict intensified, Jennifer stood back, arms crossed, content to watch the drama unfold. 

Jessica’s face clouded over as she asked, “You claim my assistant stole something from this store, do you have any evidence?”

“Wha. I don’t need evidence! Just look at that country boy; he’s clearly penniless. I doubt he has two hundred bucks on him. If he doesn’t have the money, what business does he have in our store if not to 

steal?” 

Ignoring the facts, Harper persisted in condemning Daniel without proof.
