Chapter 268
Circe remained emotionless as she nodded and kept her phone, stepping to the side. The situation became awkward as it became apparent that they would not be able to dine here after all. Even Circe could not get in, so it was unlikely that anyone else could. By then, many of the girls shook their heads in disappointment, and so did Darryl. He was standing at the end of the crowd, so nobody saw him. Suddenly, he walked toward the staff member with a card in his hand. “Hello, could you please check if you can open a room with this card?” Wayne gave him this card a while ago, and he always carried it with him but never used it. ‘Huh? Was this live-in son-in-law going crazy? Haha!’ everyone thought. The VIP room at the Oriental Pearl was the most luxurious room in the entire city and the only room that could fit over 50 guests. ‘Declan and Circe could not get in, so what was this trash doing here? Is he joking around again?’ people thought. A few girls laughed, covering the

‘Perhaps he stole the card?’ Declan wondered. Watching doubt cross everyone’s face, Darryl replied. “It’s not mine. It’s my boss’.” At first, everyone remained silent, but seconds later, everyone burst into laughter. ‘Hahaha! So it was his boss’,’ everyone thought. ‘Haha! It was his boss’ after all! He was just a kid playing around with his boss’s card! What an opportunist!’ Declan thought. ‘Damn you all! I’m kind enough to get you the room, and you guys decide to mock me for that? Whatever. Why would I care about these people,’ Darryl thought as he smiled. After going inside the room, Declan asked the waiters to enter.“Come here. Everyone, please pick some dishes. I want everyone to have a great time tonight!” he announced. Swiftly, the waiters brought them the menus. Since Katherine was there, nobody dared to pick anything, and they all handed her the menus. Katherine smiled, appearing less strict than she was back in class, as she pushed the menus away. “I’m f

Circe sat there cold and silently like a blooming orchid, exuding an air of grace that stood out from the crowd. Though nobody found her weird or peculiar, many of the guys wanted to know her better, but they did not have the courage to do so. Everyone was getting in the mood, and Declan stood up smilingly with an elegant box in his hands. He walked towards Katherine and said politely, “Miss Katherine, today happens to be the Teacher’s Day, and I’d like to thank you for being our teacher. This is a gift for you.” Suddenly, the room was filled with exclamations of amazement. Declan was well-prepared, indeed. He even prepared a gift for Miss Katherine. It was quite clear that he was determined to become the class monitor. Katherine remained calm and smiled. “Declan, I’m already very pleased that you’re treating us to dinner. I can’t accept this.” Declan was indeed a bright, smart, and likable student. He even knew today was Teacher’s Day and prepared her a gift. However, so many

Miles chimed in, insulting Darryl. “ A mere live-in son-in-law—how dare you question Declan’s elixir? You’re just jealous, aren’t you.”Darryl snickered as he looked at Declan.“Indeed, the elixir you gave her was the Spirit Petrification Elixir. However, did you know that this elixir needs to be kept in a dark, cool, and humid environment? It cannot be exposed to the sun. The Spirit Petrification Elixir is originally a deep dark yellow color. It turns light yellow when exposed to the sun. Since yours is light yellow, I assume it was already exposed to the sun by the time you purchased this from the wandering cultivator,” Darryl explained nonchalantly. The room fell silent.“So what if it has been exposed to the sun?” Declan questioned with a laugh. “Is it still effective?”‘This pretentious Darryl—thinking that people would believe the nonsense he spews.’Darryl shook his head. “I don’t think it will lose its effect, but there will be some changes in its properties.”“What would

Circe was headed to the washroom just as Darryl entered the dining area. A playful thought entered his mind, letting out a hushed chuckle.‘If I were to steal Circe’s phone and purse, she won’t be able to pay. Let’s see what happens to Declan then!’He bumped into Circe. At the same time, he smoothly swiped her phone and purse.Success! He was reading up on the Shadow Skills yesterday. Using it in practice for the first time was slightly nerve-racking, but thankfully, it worked.Darryl was giddy with excitement on the inside, but he pretended to be embarrassed. He apologized to Circe, “I’m so sorry. I was in a rush and didn’t notice you!” Darryl took a good look at her up close. Gorgeous. Extremely gorgeous.During the dinner, Circe drank the least, but her exquisite face was still slightly flushed. Combined with her ice-cold personality, it was somehow charmingly seductive.Darryl’s movement was fast and discreet. She did not realize that her phone and purse were missing.

If it were other ladies who lost their phone, they would have been frantic.Circe Newman was no ordinary woman. She was incredibly calm when she realized her phone and purse were missing.Darryl complimented her silently. It was no wonder that she was the Belle of Hexad’s. Her aura of calmness and confidence was unrivaled.What happened? Did she lose her phone? The rest were confused. If Circe could not pay, would everyone have to split the bill?Declan could not put up an act anymore, being slumped on the table the entire time. What was happening? Circe could not pay? If he continued faking being drunk, people were bound to talk. He would have to face the music.He was reluctant, but he yawned and stood up slowly. He pretended to be surprised. “Oh, I’m so sorry! How did I fall asleep? I’m sure everyone had fun today! I’ll go pay.”F*ck. It looked like he had to beg his family for the money.Declan scratched his head. “Guys, this meal costs thirty million. My money is locked i

Miles looked proud and arrogant as he stood behind Declan. “This meal costs about thirty million. It’s not that much for Declan,” he boasted.What a total ass-kisser.The rest nodded in agreement. Declan adored being praised, but he was bitter inside. Twenty-something million gone in an instant. Furthermore, he could not ask for more money for the next six months. At least, he would score the position of class monitor tomorrow.Everyone left in their own cars, yet no one was willing to give Darryl a lift. Katherine walked over reluctantly and grumbled, “Fine, I’ll give you a lift.”Darryl laughed and nodded.In the car, Katherine was surprised to learn that Darryl lived at Peak Mansions. Peak Mansions was Donghai City’s most luxurious area. Darryl was just a live-in son-in-law, so how could he afford to live there? “Yes, my wife bought the house,” he nodded. However, he was the one that gave her the money via her live stream.“Darryl, the money belongs to your wife. You shou

It was a regular voice call. It was a video call from a girl named Evelyn Featherstone.Darryl wanted to ignore the call, but his hand trembled—accidentally picking up the call! When the call connected, his eyes widened. F*ck! The caller was a pretty girl who had just finished showering.‘What is happening? I didn't mean to look!’ Darryl swallowed hard, finding it hard to resist. ‘The young girl had a great figure. Why does she look so familiar?’ Darryl pondered.Ah! It was the granddaughter of the old man who bought a Godly pill for five billion bucks at Roger’s Auction. He was a high-ranking member from the Eternal Life Palace sect! “Ah!” Evelyn screamed. She did not expect to see a man answering her call. She gasped, ending the call immediately.‘What was happening? Circe did not have a boyfriend, so who was the man on the other side? Also, why did he look so familiar? Was that not Darryl Darby, the man who saved grandpa?’Evelyn blushed.Evelyn and Circe were good friends
