“Might I ask if Mister Darby is here?” Wayne repeated his question, seeing that no one spoke. Everyone still shook their heads.It had to be known that the man standing at the door was Wayne Woodall. The ‘Mister Darby’ that he mentioned, how could it possibly be Darryl that piece of trash?Wayne had a bewildered look on his face too. It could not be a mistake, he had people do a proper inquiry, the second young master was supposed to be at the Lyndon residence! Today was the second young master’s birthday, and he came here in person specifically to hand him his present. Moreover, when he arrived at the Lyndon residence, he realized that someone was indeed celebrating their birthday.Wayne gulped and handed over the box in his hands. “Since Mister Darby isn’t here, I shall depart. This is a birthday gift, I’ll leave it here.”Wayne then left with his men.Just as he left, the crowd could not wait any longer and surrounded the birthday gift he left behind. Grandmother Lyndon motio

A few ladies started to speculate, some said that Mister Darby was a middle-aged man with a slight stubble. Some said that Mister Darby was tall and handsome. Every possibility was speculated. Finally, Grandmother Lyndon waved her hand and halted the discussions.It was then Felix brought a few men in and glanced around, but there was no sight of Darryl. “I’ll leave the birthday present here then, I’ll be going,” said Felix as he bowed slightly.Grandmother Lyndon felt uneasy and nodded her head profusely, even returning a bow as a sign of respect. After Felix left, his present was opened up. This time, it shocked them even more!It was a deed!‘Here’s to many years of birthdays and success. On your esteemed birthday, I present to you a special gift: Southernwood Villa, No. A88’Dead silence! The whole hall was pin-drop silent!If a needle were to drop at that moment, it could be heard!This... This... A villa as a birthday gift!?It was not just an ordinary villa, it w

30 minutes later at Ashton’s house.“Somebody, help!” Samantha screamed in despair!Never in Samantha’s wildest dreams could she imagine that the expected son-in-law in her mind would do such a thing! Samantha and Lily were both tied up.“Hush,” said Ashton as he placed his finger on his lips as a motion of silence. “Stop shouting, no one can hear you even if you shout till your throat is broken. My house’s walls’ thickness is three times the average. Save your energy,” Ashton said as he beamed.Samantha clenched her fists tightly, her eyes were red. “Ashton, don’t be rash, you’re a talented young man with a bright future, don’t ruin it!”“Shut up!” Ashton strode toward Samantha, grabbed her hair, and shouted. “Ruin my future? Let me be honest with you, my future is already gone! I fought and struggled for my business for 10 years, and just as I’ve gotten some achievements, the Darby clan kicked me out of the company!”“What… What did you say?” Lily was shocked. “They chased you

“Granny, Poesia Eleganza’s president, Emily Dickinson is here.”Wow!This time, the entire villa was in complete shock!If Wayne and Felix were said to have a great reputation in Donghai City, Emily’s reputation was a step above both of them!Right now, Poesia Eleganza’s business was at the apex! Among the national cosmetic brands, Poesia Eleganza’s products received rave reviews and were leading in sales and market shares. Its newly released Crown line was so difficult to get!Grandmother Lyndon knew President Dickinson as well!?The crowd stared at the door, stunned.Emily was dressed in a business suit and high heels. She strode in with five to six burly men behind her.Many of the men there were stupefied. Emily’s had an overpowering and alluring presence! Even though she was a woman, her presence was strong enough to overwhelm all the men around!“Excuse me, is Mister Darby here?” Emily asked softly as she entered the hall, and placed the birthday present next to her fe

Sure enough, after Gailen had finished talking, several others followed suit, wanting to seek cooperation.The children of the Lyndon clan were full of smiles, this blessing came so fast!Suddenly, Wentworth stood up.“Wentworth, what is it?” Grandmother Lyndon asked curiously.Grandmother Lyndon used to favor Wentworth. However, as Lily’s father, ever since she got married to Darryl, she stopped favoring him as much.Wentworth waved his hand and said to her, “Mom, as you know I’ve been overseas for the past while, and this time I’m back to celebrate your birthday. That said, I’m also back to bring you good news. It’s a lucrative money-making project.”“Oh?” Granny replied with her eyebrows raised. “Do tell.”Indeed, members of the Lyndon clan had heard that Wentworth made a lot of money overseas. When he came back, he casually gave Samantha and Lily two large checks. He truly made people envious.Wentworth let out a laugh. “Mom, I made a friend when I was overseas. His name is

Woah! The whole crowd was in an uproar, but Grandmother Lyndon’s decision was final and nobody dared to refute. After all, she favored William and a sentence from him was sufficient to let her make a decision. Under the help of the clan’s financial director, Wentworth then excitedly transferred Lyndon clan’s family fund of 400 million into his account. ***Donghai City Grandioso Community. Several police cars were parked at the entrance of the community, dozens of policemen rushed down and surrounded Ashton’s house! This was a single-story house, and now it was fully surrounded by them. Unexpectedly, a policewoman up in front was leading the team. Her loose police uniform could not cover her amazing figure. “Madam Castello, what should we do next?” A petty police officer walked over and asked. Megan Castello looked around the surroundings. They had received an emergency call not long ago and the caller had tapped through the screen non-stop, it was obvious that it wa

“Mom! We can’t drag Darryl into this…” persuadedLily. “Can’t drag him?” laughed Samantha. “Darryl stayed with us for three years while we Lyndons fed him, it’s him who dragged us down for three years! Quickly, let him in here!” Ashton smiled as he held the dagger tightly in his hand. He had nothing left, and it was expected for him to have come this far. Swapping hostages? Impossible! “Ashton, why are you being such a piece of trash?” Darryl smiled saying as he walked toward the windows. It was the only thing between him and Ashton now. “You gained a liking for my wife, but she doesn’t like you. So you’re mad now? Are you even a man?” “Shut the f*ck up!”Ashton was extremely agitated! Darryl was an infamous piece of trash, but also his desired goddess’ husband! This was a hurdle in his heart that he could not pass through. He felt like a complete failure! “Me? Shut up?” Darryl laughed, “Ashton, you’re one sad man. You have nothing left now, your company got rid of you t

Two policemen were blocking Darryl from entering the house. Darryl turned his head back and shouted, “Captain Castello, I am Lily’s husband and I am obligated to swap as her hostage. Please let me in!” This… After all, Megan could not intervene as Darryl had volunteered. “Captain, did you hear him?” Granny quickly stood up and spoke. “Darryl volunteered himself. Quickly, let him swap as a hostage!” Megan felt helpless, but even so, she nodded her head at Darryl. “Let them go,” said Darryl coldly. In the room, Ashton clenched his fists tightly seeing Darryl walking in. He untied the ropes on Samantha and Lily to let them go, and immediately grabbed and held on to Darryl! “Both of you, leave now,” ordered Darryl as he looked at Lily. Lily felt tears in her eyes. This man was willing to be a hostage in place of her! “Let’s go quickly!” Samantha came to her senses. She pulled Lily and left the room without turning back. Outside the house, the police and the Lyndon clan

What? Megan looked into the house through the windows. Indeed, Ashton had placed the dagger on the floor and was kneeling in front of Darryl! What happened? Megan felt that it was unbelievable! It was a first for her to see a criminal kneeling down for a hostage! The policemen surrounding the house were stunned as well and did not know what to say! They initially thought that they were going to be negotiating for a long time. After Darryl went in to swap as a hostage, nobody had expected him to say a few sentences and make the criminal kneel and beg for forgiveness!In the room, Darryl smilingly looked at Ashton. He had revealed his true identity to Ashton just now. In the beginning, Ashton did not trust Darryl’s words. However, after Darryl revealed his bank card’s balance, Ashton has completely lost it! It turned out that he did mess with someone he should not have, and that person was Darryl! No wonder Lily was gifted the Worship of Crystal, it was from Darryl, who wa

Everyone voiced their own opinions.Only Lily was absent-minded. She was wondering in her heart, why did Platinum Corporation only want her? She had not even met the company’s president!The Worship of Crystal too, who had given that to her?Lily had a thousand questions in her heart that she could still hold on to and not think about them for the time being. However, her mind was now filled with the sight of Darryl willingly replacing her as a hostage!It has been three days since Lily has seen Darryl. During these three days, he did not come home, how was he holding on?Lily felt uneasy. She forced herself not to think about him, but she could not help it and her mind was full of him!“Lilybud, what do you think?” asked Grandmother Lyndon at that moment.“Lilybud?”“I’m here, I’m here,” said Lily as she lifted her head, and noticed that everybody was looking at her.“Lilybud, why are you so absent-minded?” asked Granny. “What’s wrong?”“It’s nothing, Granny,” Lily let out a
