Chapter 139
One billion bucks, how could William decide?Lily was the leader of the Lyndon family. Although the swimming competition was for entertainment, a billion bucks bet was no joke. If the Lyndon family was to lose one billion bucks, their family would be destroyed.William smiled but did not speak a word.Kent laughed. “So, the Lyndon family isn’t up to the bet?” “It’s just a game, but the Lyndon family is scared? I thought only Darryl—the live-in son-in-law—is a coward. I didn’t know the whole Lyndon family’s the same. Even William is a coward. Haha!”William was annoyed upon hearing that. “Why wouldn’t the Lyndon family take part?”How could Kent look down on him? He was the Lyndon family’s eldest grandson! William felt angry, but Lily was the family leader. He turned to Lily and pleaded, “Lily, we should join and show our support since Kent extended his invitation. What do you think?”Truth be told, everyone in the Lyndon family was jealous of Lily. How could a lady become their f

Ever since he left his family, Darryl had been staying in the village for a while and learned swimming on his own, hence his strokes looked rather awkward.“Haha, look at Lyndon's son-in-law. Is he swimming using doggy style?”“Oh, doggy style. That’s ridiculous!”Some of the girls started giggling.Lily angrily bit her lips from hearing laughter from the shores. When she turned to look at Darryl’s swimming style, she felt it was hilarious too.It was obvious Darryl had never received any professional swimming training before, but he was so confident just now. Although he was not slow, his speed would definitely not be able to win the race. Other than the first-place winner, everyone would lose the bet.Could she still believe in him? It was one billion bucks!If they were to lose, the Lyndon family would need to fork out one billion bucks. What would happen then? Perhaps she would lose her position as the family leader too.Thinking along those lines, Lily became worried. She

At that moment, the ‘shark’ swam towards Megan!Megan was terrified and shouted, “Kent, help!”Even though she had plenty of life experiences, that was a shark coming to her.Kent grinned. It was time for him to be the ‘Hero to the Rescue’! Haha!He wanted to show Megan how manly he was. That was the reason he had arranged for this ‘shark’ attack incident.The ‘shark’ was fierce and was swimming aggressively among the ladies!However, the ‘shark’ did not seem to bite…Zayler and Justin had realized this fact too, so they braced themselves and went over to protect their partners.On the other hand, Darryl was floating at the side and watching. Lily was disappointed. Why would Darryl not go and protect her in such situations?It seemed like she had overestimated him.“Kent, hurry! Hurry…” Megan was terrified. Why was the ‘shark’ only chasing after her?“Megan dear, don’t worry. Your husband is here!” Kent laughed loudly while swimming towards her. He took out a knife he had pr

“Wow, such good acting!” Darryl laughed. It was as if they were in the movies. Darryl then turned to swim towards Lily.“Lilybud, what happened?” Darryl asked as he approached Lily with her face upset.‘Could She have been frightened by the fake shark?’ Darryl thought.Lily was disappointed and replied coldly, “I’m fine. I’m not in a mood. Don’t speak to me.”She turned to swim towards the shore without looking back at Darryl.The fiancé of others was bravely fighting off the shark, making her all proud, but her own husband was doing nothing.She felt foolish thinking Darryl had turned a new leaf when he got a job. It seemed he did not change after all. She should not have asked him along for the outing.Darryl was stunned by Lily’s reaction. What happened to her all of a sudden?Just when he was about to catch up with her to find out further, there were shouting coming from the crowds on the shores again.“There is another shark!”“Sh*t! There is another one!”Under the scr

Everyone was covering their mouths at that time. Some were screaming too!The shark with its jaws wide open was charging towards Lily!“No…” Lily hopelessly closed her eyes and stood there waiting for her death.She was surprised those big jaws did not reach her at the end.She opened her eyes slowly and was in shock to see what was happening right in front of her eyes.Not only Lily, everyone else was holding their breath and the atmosphere went into complete silence!It was the sight of Darryl riding on the back of the shark, holding on to its fin, and continuously punching the shark.What?Everyone was stunned and could not say a word. Not a single sound was made.The shark was shaking profusely and its sharp teeth slit through Darryl’s arm, causing a large wound with blood oozing out.“Go, go!” Darryl was shouting while covered with blood.“B-but, what about you?” Lily shivered and started crying.“Darryl I’m wrong. I’m wrong for thinking you are a coward. You’re the on

Lily sat lifelessly on the ground under the voices of the masses.‘Is he… Is he really dead? No, no, I won’t let him to. He cannot die!’ She thought.“What are all of you standing here for? Go help him, help him!” Lily shouted at the crowd.Everyone’s face looked troubled and no one dared to look back at Lily.Was she crazy? It was a ten feet long shark down there! No one would dare jump into the water and help.He was just a live-in son-in-law whose life was worth nothing. It was lucky that no one else got hurt. No one had asked him to act as the hero and save Lily.Lily did not give up. She put on her stilettos and walked towards William. “William, you are part of the Lyndon family too. You have to save him!”She could not ask others for help, hence she turned her hope to William.William gave a cold smile and said, “I’m sorry about what happened to Darryl, but I can’t really swim well. Besides, I would get killed if I were to get in there based on that shark’s size.”Althou

It was complete silence.With Darryl reaching the shores, the ten feet shark had also been dragged along to the shores.“Gulp!” One of them among the crowd swallowed a big gulp of saliva.How did he do that? How was it possible for him to kill the shark?The few hundred of them were looking at Darryl. Everyone was stunned and amazed. That was incredible!Darryl smiled. “Why is my dear wifey crying so badly? Were you worried about your dear hubby?”“You…” Lily was really heartbroken earlier, thinking she would never see him again. She only wanted to hug him tightly when she saw him walking towards the shore.Her beautiful face was still covered with tears. She had not expected Darryl would still be joking around while calling out each other hubby and wifey in front of everyone. How embarrassing!“Stop it, I-I wasn’t worried about you!” Lily said softly while drying her tears. She did not look back at Darryl.“Darryl!” Megan and Yvonne walked over. “Are you fine?”It was all th

‘Darryl is lucky to befriend Dax, but both of them aren’t at the same level. They won’t be friends for long,’ thought Kent. He set up the shark incident, but Darryl was the one getting the attention. Even Megan was ignoring him now.“Alright, silence please.” Edward stepped forward and spoke.“All of you are from rich and famous families. Everyone had been pampered. The aim of this outing is to challenge everyone’s survival instincts. We shall barbeque the shark later. Let’s get a place to sleep for now.” Edward spoke loudly.“Great!” Everyone unanimously agreed.Everyone soon embarked on searching for a resting place after eating the barbequed fish.“Come quickly, there’s a cave over here. It’s big enough for all of us to rest,” shouted someone excitedly not long after that.Everyone moved towards the cave....Platinum Corporation.The company was surrounded by countless fans with all of them holding paper signs and light sticks. Everyone was really excited!All the media i
