Chapter 466 An Unexpected Development


    Jessica''s response caused Pork''s jaw to drop in amazement; he also realized btedly what was


    going on. No wonder this country boy had called him brother-inw—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 n tosh 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.


    "Don''t call me mom! I''m not your mother!"


    Avery was infuriated. It was one thing for this country boy to call her ''mom'' in private, but in front of


    so many people?


    Their conversation left everyone present stunned.


    Jessica couldn''t believe it and asked, "Idiot, what are you doing?"


    "Yeah, mom hasn''t shown me any affection yet! I just called her ''mom'' and look at me, making us a


    proper family already."


    "Shameless!"

    The word "shameless" echoed in unison from the three women''s lips.


    Pork was the most shocked. He couldn''t believe Avery had met this country boy and that Daniel


    even dared to call her ''mom'' with such ease, as if it wasn''t the first time.


    "Yes! The first time we met in New York, he called me ''mom.'' My own daughter, in her twenties,


    rarely ever calls me that, but this chap seems to do it all the time. It''s so frequent that I''m starting to


    get confused—whether Jessica is my own child, or this rascal is."


    Avery''s answer, though meant for Jessica, got Pork thinking. It seemed like Avery actually enjoyed


    being called ''mom'' by this country boy.


    Determined to avoid anyplications in the alliance between the two families, Pork quickly


    reminded her, "Cousin, remember that Jessica is supposed to marry Smart!"
