Chapter 479 Humiliation


    Jessica knew that Joshua was acquainted with Daniel, but she didn''t believe that he would actually


    consider the fool his teacher. Besides, six minutes had already passed. With only four minutes left,


    could Joshua really make it in time? Worried, she quickly stood up to intervene, "No betting! How


    childish can you get? What are you even wagering on? Our priority should be saving Grandpa''s


    life."


    "Honey, I want to save Grandpa too! But Uncle Pork won''t let me; he insists on making this bet. If he


    wants to bet, then I''ll bet with him. Otherwise, I''ll look like a coward who can''t y along. Besides,


    you never clean my shoes anyway, so why not let Uncle Pork and his nimble tongue do it? If he


    wants to y the dog, we shouldn''t disappoint him. We should let him enjoy the freedom of being a


    dog, right?" Daniel responded, a touch of mischief in his voice.


    Avery chuckled coldly at Daniel''s answer. After herugh, she turned to Jessica and said, "If this


    country boy is so eager to make a fool of himself, let him."


    "Mom, why are you like this?" Jessica asked, visibly upset.


    "What did I do?" Avery retorted.


    "It''s a shame, especially since Daniel even calls you ''Mom.'' He really shouldn''t have bothered."


    "Who cares about him calling me ''Mom''? It’s his own boasting that got us here. He wanted to bet.


    Whose fault is that? As a man, even a country boy should act like one and be responsible for his


    actions!"


    Just then, a hurried set of footsteps approached. A small, elderly man rushed into the emergency


    room. Who else could it be but Joshua?

    Bright saw him and hastened to greet him. "Master, why are you here?"


    Joshua didn''t pay attention to Bright but went straight to Daniel, gripping his hand warmly. "Daniel,


    I''ve missed you!" Not satisfied with just a handshake, Joshua also gave Daniel a hearty hug.


    Everyone in the room, except for Jessica, was astonished. Joshua really knew this country guy? He


    even called him Daniel?


    After exchanging a few brief and friendly words with Joshua, Daniel turned to Pork with a beaming


    smile and said, "Uncle, you lost the bet! So, please be a good sport and honor it."


    "I lost? Hah! How exactly did I lose?" Pork was not ready to concede.


    He was a scion of The Matthews—how could he lose to a country boy? It would be so embarrassing


    to lose to such a person.


    "We bet that he would show up here within ten minutes, and now he''s here. That''s why you lost."


    "True, one condition of our bet was that Joshua would arrive within ten minutes. But remember the


    additional condition? You imed that you were Joshua''s teacher and that he''d call you ''Master.''


    However, when Joshua came in, he did not call you ''Master.'' Everyone heard it clearly; he called


    you ''Daniel''!"


    Pork might believe that Joshua simply knew this country boy and perhaps even had a slight


    friendship with him. After all, Joshua was always friendly and approachable. It wouldn''t be too


    surprising that he would be friends with this country boy. Moreover, another possibility was that


    Daniel could be friends with Joshua because of Jessica.
