“Jade, stop it already,” whispered Lily softly after hearing Jade scolding Darryl. Yesterday at the annual gathering William showed off his suit, yet it was Darryl who stood up and helped Lily relieve the embarrassment. “Lily, you’re too soft-hearted. If it was me, I would have divorced him already,” said Jade coldly. "After being married to him for so long, yet you both haven’t consummated your marriage. I don’t know how you can handle facing this piece of trash every day,” “Jade,” called out Darryl as he stared deeply at her. He could not hold it in anymore and made a step forward. It had to be said that Jade was gorgeous, she was wearing a short tight skirt, exposing her fair legs. “My wife’s company needs five million, why would you assume that I couldn’t help?” said Darryl with a smile. “I remember you said that if I can fork out five million, you’ll call me daddy?” “Yes, I did say that.” Jade slowly stood up. “Show me then, if you can’t, you’ll call me your mommy th
It only took three seconds for Ashton to answer the call. Lily pushed the loudspeaker button.Samantha, who stood beside, started smiling upon seeing Lily’s cellphone screen. “My dear daughter, so Ashton was the one that got you The Worship of Crystal. He’s a good man, be sure to appreciate him, my dear.”Samantha purposely said it loudly, not forgetting to glance at Darryl. Compared to Ashton, Darryl was worthless. Ashton mentioned before that if Lily were to marry him, he would be willing to pay a dowry of 20 million bucks!On the other end of the phone, Ashton was sitting by the sidewalk. Not long ago, he had received a phone call, informing him that the Darby clan had revoked all his fundings! Ashton had a meltdown upon hearing the news. Without the Darby clan’s support, he would be next to nothing! He was subsequently informed that he had offended someone he should not have.Until now, Ashton still could not figure out who he had offended!“Ashton, I want to ask you if yo
Haha! Darryl nearly laughed out loud upon hearing the price of the bill. This William was a real fool! None of them knew anything about the wine that was ordered, except for Darryl. It was a Romanée-Conti, which retail price was set at over one million bucks, and more than 30 bottles were distributed around the dining hall! “Are you f*cking kidding me?” William panicked. He stood up and said to the waiter, “Over 300 of us Lyndons ate an amount of over 30 million bucks? The average cost per person is 100,000 bucks then? Alright, get your manager to see me.”The two waiters looked at each other helplessly, they had no choice but to call their manager over. The manager was a 30-year-old young man, who wore a neat suit“Do you intend to continue operating your hotel?” William stepped forward and shouted at the manager while pointing at him. “An average cost of 100,000 per person? Believe it or not, I’m going to report you to the Consumers Association.”The manager was not the slight
“Haha, forgotten to bring your bank card, what a splendid reason!” William laughed loudly and looked at Samantha, “Aunt Samantha, did you forget to bring yours too?”“Yeah…”“Hahaha!” Everyone could not hold in their laughter. A young girl blurted, “Darryl must have forgotten his card too, this family came here to eat a free meal!”Lily bit her lips hard as she felt helpless. It was at this moment that Darryl stepped forward.“I brought my card, it’s just that…”Before Darryl could finish his sentence, William snatched his card over and passed it to the waiter, “Come, let’s see whether this card has even 300,000 bucks in it!”Lily stomped her feet anxiously, thinking how his card would have 300,000 when she only gave him a daily allowance of 200 bucks. He would be making a fool out of himself.Lily could see that everyone around was holding in their laughter, waiting to laugh at him being a joke. At this moment, nobody noticed Yvonne standing up slowly. Her beautiful face wa
With high heels adorning her feet, she stomped and said, "Make him call me mommy, then throw him out.""Did you hear what Miss Jade said, ya little bastard? Let her hear you call her mommy. Or else..." Harry roared.As soon as he said that, more than 20 burly men behind him reached to their lower back and pulled out their expandable batons."Or else, don’t blame me for not sparing you any courtesy. I’m giving you a way out. Be a good boy and call her mommy," Harry said with a smirk and continued. "Then, if you kneel on the ground for her and admit your mistake, you’ll be allowed to leave here safe and sound. Otherwise, I’ll send you out on a stretcher."Jade could not resist laughing. She took two steps forward in her high heels and fished out her cellphone from her bag.If Darryl finally caved in and called her ‘mommy’, she would record it and send it to Lily!"What if I don't?" Darryl was amused and began looking at Jade up and down.Jade frowned upon seeing Darryl’s resistan
"You ... " Lily frowned when Ashton talked about the marriage proposal. "Forget it, I’m not divorced yet."Although Darryl was a loser, he had worked hard in the past few years and fulfilled his housework duties. He received a telling-off every time he failed to do a good job, yet he never complained.Even a dog would have feelings, let alone a human.Darryl had recently loaned them five million and relieved the company of its woes. Aside from that, Darryl had to take out all the money he had saved over the years to avoid embarrassment when William suggested going Dutch in Oriental Pearl Hotel.Ashton looked at her affectionately. "Lilybud, am I inferior to Darryl in any way? He’s a loser! Don't you worry, I’ll prepare a big gift for Grandma's birthday and wish her a happy birthday! She’ll be delighted with the gift. I’ll propose marriage when the time comes and I’m sure that Grandma would not refuse."Lily casually sipped her coffee. The Lyndon family's rules were very strict, an
"Valentine's Day is coming soon, Lily. It would be such a blessing to receive a set of Poesia Eleganza’s Crown line cosmetics," Phoebe said to Lily."You? Keep on dreaming," Lily said with a smile.At present, Poesia Eleganza’s Crown line had an exceptionally high price and was limited to only 520 sets, which were probably all sold out. Those who could buy them were big families who had ample connections. Smaller families like the Lyndons had zero chance of obtaining them. "Alright, enough," Lily giggled. "Let’s go and buy a couple of clothes. Granny’s birthday is coming soon. We have to dress nicely for the celebration."Phoebe nodded, then walked into a store arm in arm with Lily.The next day, at Platinum Corporation.Darryl sat in the general manager's office and got up from the sofa. It was two in the morning by the time they finished their drinking session the night before. He could not be bothered to go home, so he decided to just sleep at the company.His cellphone vibr
"Think carefully, Lily. Think about how much scorn and ridicule you had to face since marrying Darryl," Samantha said coldly. "We’ve provided him food and clothes during the three years of your marriage to him. At least he has the decency to repay the favor by lending us money to help with the company’s five million deficit. We’re even now and all I want is for you to leave that loser.""Mom... " Lily bit her lip."Also, Ashton called me and said that he’d attend your grandma’s birthday," Samantha continued. "He said he prepared an amazing gift that your grandma will love. You can and should be with him if grandma takes a liking to him."As she was talking, she saw a man coming over from some distance away. Dressed in a suit and leather shoes, he held a suitcase in his hand. The person was Wentworth, Lily's father.Lily and Samantha went over to welcome him. The family of three then chatted and laughed all the way out of the airport.Back home, Samantha cooked a sumptuous meal. Co
