The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 916 Big Price Tag



What Damian said was, of course, a load of nonsense. His goal was clearly to squeeze more money out of Isla!

As soon as he mentioned the exorbitant cost for the "medication," Isla's brows furrowed.

She was a smart woman and could tell that Damian was going to quote an outrageous price!

What medication could possibly cost millions? Even if the treatment involved liquid gold, it shouldn't cost that much!Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

If this so-called medication needed to run into the millions, who knew how much he would charge for other expenses?

Although Isla was wealthy and spent tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, at beauty salons each month, she didn't want to waste money unnecessarily!

After all, going to a beauty salon was about enhancing her beauty. But this was just a stomachache spending so much for that was not worth it! Even at the best hospital in D.C., a visit for a stomachache, including a few painkillers, wouldn't cost that much!

Not to mention Isla had full insurance coverage; even without that, it would be at most a few hundred dollars-definitely not more than a thousand.

And for a simple stomachache, he was starting off with a price tag over a million?

This wasn't about treating her; this was pure robbery!

Isla was not a woman to be pushed around; she spoke directly.

“Damian, a million bucks just for the medication? Isn't that a bit steep? If I had some terminal illness, spending that money would make sense. But just fona stomachache because ate sea cucumber and camebmeat, asking for that much is ridiculous!

Besides, for such a minor issue, why would I need any golden needles or special skills? If I went to the hospital and had tests run, they'd just prescribe some painkillers It wouldn't cost more than a few

hundred dollars!"

Initially, Isla thought that since her son-in-law invited Damian, it would be free!

Yet, here was Damian quoting millions right off the bat. Was he taking her for a fool?

How could she accept a price like that?

This was blatant disrespect for her intelligence!

So, Isla naturally objected outright!

Daniel, hearing Isla speak this way, immediately chimed in with a grin, "Isla, come on! Damian is after all a doctor. Yes, he may claim two thousand years of family tradition, but he's known for something. Regardless of whether he can actually cure your stomachache, with his doctor reputation, charging you hundreds of thousands isn't unusual!"

But before he could finish, Isla interrupted with irritation, "Hick, stop talking nonsense and shut your mouth! You annoy me!"

"Isla, I'm not being silly! I'm actually helping you!" Daniel replied cheerfully.

"Helping me? How exactly?" Isla questioned.

“Isla, Damian just quoted you a price in the millions. You even admit that spending that much for a stomachache is not worth it. So, I could probably offer you a much cheaper option!"
