Chapter 180
Giselle has had no appointments even today, making it a significant loss for the company. This was strange since Giselle was popular with many fans, and it was impossible to have no one willing to sign her. Darryl felt something was up and wanted to figure it out. “Darryl, I’m sorry. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have to come here with your motorbike,” Shelly apologized. Until now, Shelly still had no idea how she ended up crashing into the signpost. “Don’t worry. I used to come here with my motorbike anyway,” Darryl laughed, not minding at all, as he parked his motorbike in a parking lot not far away. Ring! After he parked the motorbike, his phone rang. It was a message from Yvonne Young. [Yvonne: Darryl, what have you been up to lately? Is your wound better now? You haven’t come to the Pearl Pavilion since the trip.] Darryl laughed at the thought of her, thinking he had not recovered from the gunshot. Just as he was about to reply to her, a loud ‘ping’ was heard.

Darryl laughed after hearing what Lana said. Back in high school, he was the most afraid of Lana out of all his teachers. She was very strict with him, and there was even a time Lana had slapped him when he got the worst score on a test. “Miss Lana, you were strict enough with me back in school,” Darryl could not help saying. “During the class reunion a few days ago, didn’t you see that all of your classmates are doing well in life? Giselle Lindt became a superstar, Dianne Jackson became the manager of Eleganza Corporation. Now, look at you. Don’t you feel sorry for yourself?” Lana said, shaking her head. Meanwhile, the man beside Lana broke into laughter, “You’re Darryl? Haha! I haven’t seen you in a few years. You’ve changed!” Darryl thought this man looked familiar when he got out of the car. Now he finally realized who he was. His name was Markus Orian, and back in the day, he was Darryl’s PE teacher. He had been chasing Lana since then. Darryl used to prank Markus in

Darryl seemed unfazed. “I wonder who should be ashamed of himself?” “What are you trying to say!?” Markus yelled as he clenched his fist and threatened to punch Darryl. He was a PE teacher, tall and well-built. Beating this kid was nothing. Right at that moment, Lana stopped him. “Markus, don’t be impulsive!”Although Lana was helping Darryl, she was frustrated with him too. He was just as rebellious as he was back in high school. A thought suddenly occurred to her that Darryl had parked his motorbike here. “Darryl, what are you doing here? Do you work at Platinum Corporation?” Lana asked. Situated in a high-end area, the Platinum Corporation was only visited by the rich and wealthy. Judging by how Darryl dressed, he seemed to be a staff of the lowest ranking. “Darryl, if you don’t pay me ten thousand dollars today, don’t you try to get away.” Markus scowled, thinking that Darryl was asking for trouble. He was going to punch him hard. Darryl gave him a faint smile, un

However, Pearl Hahn stopped abruptly in front of Darryl and greeted him with a ninety-degree bow. “President Darryl, I’m very sorry. I can reassure you that this won’t happen again!” Pearl said nervously as cold sweats dripped off her forehead. She was nervous and anxious. As a secretary, she was in charge of all the small matters in the corporation, including the car park. Before, when Giselle came for an interview, a similar incident happened. Today Lana came for an interview and the same thing happened again! No matter how nice Darryl might seem, it would not be surprising if he gets mad. ‘Huh? President? President Hahn called Darryl, President?’ the crowd thought. Everyone was shocked. Even the few staff watching the whole event were overtaken by fear and shock. Whenever Darryl dropped by the corporation, he usually went straight to his office, so not many people recognized him. Suddenly, there was pin-drop silence at the scene. Everyone had their mouth and eyes wide

Lily appeared to be under the weather, her brows furrowed in the shape of the moon. It had been over a week since she had last seen Darryl. He had not come home nor called back. A few times, Lily had been tempted to call him, but she recalled what happened in the ward. ‘Why is he such an egotistical man? Do I really have to call him first? Ah, whatever, leave it be!’ she thought as she entered the lobby. Upon entering the lobby, she felt something was off. The staff at the front desk would usually stand up to greet her, but today they remained seated and continued chatting even when they saw her. Lily frowned in confusion. Perhaps they had a rough weekend? It was just a minor mistake, so she let it be and continued making her way to the office. However, on her way there, she saw a few staff chit-chatting, and some were even playing games on their phones. The workday had started! What bothered her even more, was these people completely ignored her, treating her as if she was just

‘That’s it? They’re just going to kick me out?’ Lily thought, disappointed. At this moment, Lily finally learned how it felt to be in despair. Granny’s words poked through her heart like needles. Holding back her tears, she felt her body becoming weightless. After she packed her stuff, she stomped out of the office with tears rolling down her cheeks. The next day, Lily sat on the sofa with her eyes bloodshot from all the crying. “What can we do now? How’re we going to survive?” Samantha sighed beside her. “Mom, don’t panic. I’ll think of ways to earn money,” Lily reassured. “Think of ways to earn money?” Samantha panicked. “It’s not easy to make money nowadays, you know? What can you do with a monthly salary of three to four thousand bucks?” ‘Right, how could they live off three to four thousand bucks…’ Lily contemplated. Darryl did warn her not to give up her shares to Granny. Now she regretted not listening to him. Ding. Her phone lit up with a notification th

Darryl stepped forward. Instantly, the crowd held their breath, praying for the man. The President could fire him after getting caught playing on his phone. “What are you watching?” Darryl smiled, stopping in front of the staff member. President? The staff heard Darryl’s voice and almost dropped his phone as he staggered. He quickly composed himself and blurted, “President.” Huh? His phone screen caught Darryl’s eyes. A woman was live-streaming herself, exuding an unspeakable charm that would drive men crazy. On the live-streaming page, only a few people were watching. The atmosphere was good—with praises refreshing the page non-stop. [My goddess is too beautiful.] [Your voice is so intriguing!] [Does my goddess need any assistance?]Darryl was amused yet confused as he looked at the screen. This ‘goddess’ was his wife, Lily. Why was she live-streaming at this hour? Was she not supposed to be busy with her company work? In the past three years of their marriage, sh

What now? Lily stood there, panic-stricken with her lips pursed. Suddenly, a shocking scene appeared on the screen. A crazy person sent groups after groups of gifts on her platform, which summed up to two million bucks! Wow! The entire platform went into an uproar! Giving out two million bucks worth of gifts in one go? Could it have been a billionaire? Lily shivered with gratitude as she looked at the name of the person: Hill. After donating the money, the user ‘Hill’ commented on the platform.[You don’t have to do anything. Sing if you feel like singing.]The ‘Donghai Boss’ shut up instantly. Reading what ‘Hill’ wrote, Lily was overwhelmed with gratitude. Just as she was about to stand up to thank him, she saw that the ‘Hill’ user already left the platform. Knock! Knock! Knock! “President, may I enter?” A voice asked. “Come in.” Pearl entered with a pile of documents in her hands. “President, I’ve made arrangements regarding Lily Lyndon’s live-streaming
