Chapter 543 The $8.88 Million Prize


    Maya was itching to get started. She had practiced her golf game tirelessly for this reunion, aiming


    to impress and dominate everyone on the green. That $8.88 million prize had to be hers.


    Once everyone arrived at the golf course, Wyatt geared up with a professional air and dered,


    "Even though most of you are amateurs, and some haven''t yed golf at all, let''s stick to official


    rules. Seventy-two strokes for eighteen holes."


    "Sure, I’m good with that," said Maya, confident.


    "I’m in," Sebastian added.


    Maya then turned to Jessica with a teasing tone, "You joining us, Jessica?"


    "I''ll pass," Jessica replied.


    "Come on! High-end business often revolves around golf—it''s an essential social skill. I think you


    should take this golden opportunity to broaden your horizons, join us for a round. You might not win


    but hey, you''ve nothing to lose; Wyatt’s covering the massive $8.88 million prize."


    "Just go ahead without me. I''m not interested," Jessica insisted, uninterested in golf and even less


    so in ying with Maya.


    As soon as Jessica declined, Daniel eagerly stepped forward, grinning wide, "How about I join in


    instead?"


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    This got everyone''s attention fixed on Daniel.


    Until now, Maya had been solely focused on Jessica and hadn''t paid Daniel any mind. With Daniel


    volunteering, her gaze shifted to him.


    Looking Daniel up and down with a puzzled air, Maya asked, "Who''s this country bumpkin? I don''t


    recall such a person in our ss."


    Before Daniel could introduce himself, Wyatt jumped in, "Jessica says this country boy is her


    boyfriend. What do you think, Maya? Does he stack up to our ss''s Jessica?"


    The revtion shocked Maya. She looked at Jessica in disbelief and asked, "Is what Wyatt says


    true? This guy, a country bumpkin, your boyfriend?"


    "Yes, he''s my boyfriend!" Jessica admitted clearly and confidently.


    Maya had expected Jessica to be evasive—a denial she could pounce on to embarrass her. But


    Jessica''s frank admission, and the confidence with which she made it, left Maya at a loss. The


    words she''d primed tounch were swallowed back.


    However, she couldn''t let the fact that Jessica had chosen such a "country boy" as her boyfriend go


    unremarked upon.


    Biding her time for a targeted strike, Maya turned to Daniel with malice, "So, country boy, where do


    you work? Hopefully not scrubbing dishes at some diner, or maybe street sweeping? Some cleaner


    without benefits, taxes, getting cozy with garbage all day? That''s it! Repulsive! Your bumpkin aura is


    ruining the mood!"
