‘This brat dressed like a hillbilly. Why would the lady hire him as her driver? How did I miss that clue?’ ‘This is a helicopter. If this brat can't afford to pay for it, then I might not be able to keep my job too. Oh, dear! They might hold me responsible for it.’ The security guard was in distress as he pondered that; he wanted to cry. He shouted at Darryl, "Don't you dare run away. If you don't pay for the damages, then you’ll have to work here to pay off your debts." "Who said anything about running away?" Darryl replied quizzically. ‘It’s just a helicopter. Why would I run?’ Pitter-patter… The commotion on the platform had attracted a crowd. "What happened?" Soon, a few people walked out of the crowd—they were staff at the mall. The leader was a well-dressed man, and he looked imposing. He was probably only about 25 years old; he was Chas Turner—the mall’s owner. Chas’ family, the Turner family, was quite influential in Rich Cloud City. They had businesses in
"Then, what is your suggestion?" Darryl ignored their mockery. He merely watched Chas. "Boy!" Chas cracked a smile and said coldly, "I am a very fair person. You have two choices—either you pay now, and both of you can leave, or you can go, but you'd need to leave this charming lady behind." Chas pointed at Chang Er when he said the last sentence. He had a lecherous smile in his eyes. Chas thought Darryl was a poor man who could not afford the helicopter. He thought he was kind enough to let him go if he would leave the beautiful woman behind. "That won't work." Darryl refused his offer without any hesitation. That guy was smart—he thought he could get his hands on Chang Er. Chang Er, who stood at the side, also changed her expression abruptly. She was embarrassed, so she turned to Darryl and said, "Didn't you say you can compensate them? So, hurry up and do that!" 'These ordinary folks are really bold and daring. How could they compare me with a helicopter?' 'And th
However, Chas did not notice that Darryl was not in a panic at all. Instead, a small smile crept onto his lips. Darryl wanted to chuckle. What a coincidence! Darryl was worried about how he could get in touch with Jade, and she had called Chas instead. "Hey, Jade. What can I do for you?" Chas spoke on the phone politely. "Well, the auto show is still ongoing, but we had a problem today." Even though Chas was from a prominent family, they only had influence in Rich Cloud City. On the other hand, Jade was a businesswoman in Mistloren, and she had been in the limelight for years. They were not on the same level, so Chas had to be polite to Jade. "A problem?" Jade frowned on the other end of the phone. "What was the problem?" The crowd was inexplicably excited when they heard Jade's name. 'Is she the famed Windon Group's president? Rumor has it that she is a beautiful woman; her voice also sounds so nice.' Everyone was excited; they longed to meet Jade. It would be very
Darryl smiled and said to Jade on the phone, "Nothing's wrong. I broke the helicopter, but your partner, Chas, didn't want to let me go. He said he wanted to capture my friend and me." 'What?' On the other side of the phone, Jade's knees nearly buckled when she heard that. She trembled in anger. 'How dare Chas be so disrespectful toward Darryl? He must be seeking death!' Chas hurriedly said, "I'll take care of this matter. I'll head over there right away." Darryl stopped talking and threw the phone back at Chas. Chas caught the phone and took a look at Darryl; he felt a little uneasy. After a while, footsteps echoed from the lobby on the first floor. Then, a woman walked forward hurriedly; men in black surrounded her. The woman was dressed in a light brown professional outfit that accentuated her exquisite figure. She looked charming and elegant in the suit. Her delicate face had light makeup that made her look extremely attractive, but her expression was solemn. It w
'He is Darryl?' Darryl's name had grown even more popular over the years. Everyone in the nine continents would have heard about him.The crowd was confused; they stared at Darryl blankly because most of them were still in shock. 'It turns out that he is Darryl—no wonder he is so confident. Even an Iron Lady like Jade calls him Daddy.' A few seconds later, Chas's voice quivered. He wore a glum expression as he pleaded with Jade. "Jade, I was wrong—" "You don't need to say anything. Our contract is now cancelled, and we're no longer working together on the auto show." Jade was so angry that she was unwilling to dwell on any nonsense. "My assistant will get in touch with you to sort out the rescind of our contract." 'It's over.' Chas's body shook, and he almost slumped to the ground. He wanted to cry, but he had no tears left. Meanwhile, in a room in a small courtyard behind the Westrington Royal Palace. Donoghue put on his dragon robe after the action was done. There w
"Yumi." Susan was also a little embarrassed when she saw the messy room. Then, she bit her lips and said softly, "Don't get me wrong. I'm not here to ridicule you." Susan approached her slowly and continued to say, "As a woman, I can understand your pain. If I'm not wrong, you must want to kill Donoghue now, right?" Yumi looked up coldly and asked, "What the hell are you trying to say?" Susan smiled and said, "If you want to kill Donoghue, I can help you with that." Susan was trapped. She knew that she would never be able to escape on her own, so she was there to persuade Yumi. 'What?' Yumi was taken aback. Then, she laughed and mocked Susan. "Did you just offer to help me? You can't even help yourself; why do you think you can help me? And why should I trust you?" Susan was Darryl's godmother. Yumi had framed Darryl several times, so she wondered why Susan would offer to help her. No one in their right mind would believe that. "Because, like you, I really want to ki
"Haha!" She heard a hearty laugh from outside her room as soon as the food was ready. Donoghue strutted through the door with a smile on his face. "My beautiful lady, here I am." Mmm? As soon as he entered and saw the table full of wine and food, Donoghue smiled stiffly—he was stunned. 'What's going on? Why are there so many dishes and wine?' "Your Majesty!" Yumi forced a smile. She walked forward and graciously pulled a chair for Donoghue. "Your Majesty, I've prepared this meal especially for you. You have worked hard for the continent, so I want to cook a few dishes and have a few drinks with you." Yumi wore a timid look on her face. "I thought about what you said during the day, and I think that you are right. So, I want to stay here in the palace and serve you." Donoghue chuckled. He was overjoyed when he heard that. He grabbed Yumi's hand and dragged her into his arms. He smiled and said, "That's great! I know that you're smart, and you'll not reject me." Donog
"Wow!" Yumi pressed the button, and a sound broke through the air. A silver needle shot out from the hairpin. It was like a stream of cold light from the reflection of the candlelight; it zoomed straight toward Donoghue's heart at lighting speed. There was a faint streak of blue light on the needle, which was obviously the poison. The incident happened too suddenly. Donoghue had no time to react, let alone a chance to dodge the attack. Ping! The silver needle hit Donoghue's back, but it did not pierce through his flesh. It made a crisp sound and bounced off. 'What?' Yumi shuddered at the sight; her face immediately paled. 'How could this be? My ambush was perfect. Why didn't the needle pierce through him? Why did it bounce off?' Donoghue turned around and glared at Yumi. The next second, Donoghue saw the silver needle on the ground, and he finally understood what had happened. He sneered at her. "Oh, you b*tch! So, you did all that just for show. You wanted to kill
