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

The man beside Lily who was wearing a suit and leather shoes had perfect manners.Lily looked a little miserable as she forced a smile on her face. However, she still stood beside the man, accompanying him.The man was Charles Luke, and to Samantha, he was the best son-in-law candidate.Lily had countless admirers, but Charles was the one Samantha preferred most. Not only did he look smart, but Charles was a senior manager in the Audi Corporation. He was the Regional Manager of Donghai City, and a perfect match with Samantha’s daughter, unlike Darryl who looked low class.“Manager Luke.”At that moment, the lady in front of Darryl quickly rushed forward with a huge smile, and greeted him passionately.Earlier, the lady's face looked disgusted when she saw Darryl, but now, her reaction was the complete opposite.Charles nodded and asked, “Has the President of Platinum Corporation arrived yet?”The lady quickly replied, “Not yet. I have been waiting at the main lobby, but no car
Chapter 32
The lady replied with a face filled with disgust, “He said he was here to purchase a car.”She thought the man was just a worker from a nearby factory, so she did not expect he was a toy boy.“Haha, buy a car?”Charles laughed and said, “Buy a car from us? Our cars ain’t cheap. Can you afford it?”While talking, a lady walked into the showroom. Lily was surprised to see the lady as it was her best friend, Phoebe.“Sister Lily?” Phoebe happily quickened her pace. She did not expect to bump into Lily here.Lily laughed and said, “Phoebe, what a coincidence. What are you doing here?”Phoebe swiped her hair and said sweetly, “My husband is doing pretty well lately, so he bought me a new car. I am here to collect it.”Phoebe’s husband is in the hotel hospitality business, so it was pretty normal for him to get a new car for her.While speaking, Phoebe noticed Darryl. She was surprised.” Isn’t this the useless prick at your house? You brought him here to check out cars…”Before she

Phoebe laughed and said, “Sure, you can afford it!”She then moved toward Lily’s side and said, “Sister Lily, tell me. Is it because this useless fella knew that Aunt Samantha introduced a boyfriend to you that he decided to secretly track you and wished to compensate for the breakup at the same time?Did you give him the money to buy the car?”Darryl almost laughed. Me asking for compensation from her? You would be the only one who would have thought of that.Lily could not stand it anymore, so she pulled Phoebe’s hand slightly and said, “Stop saying that! He didn’t ask money from me.”Phoebe immediately spoke after Lily, “Why can’t I speak? Even if he didn’t ask any money from you, I still feel that it’s unfair to you!” With a face full of righteousness she carried on, looking down upon Darryl, “Hey! The Darby, you really have your way. Prior to this, you wasted three years of Lily’s wonderful life, and now after the break up, you still cling onto her and refuse to let go. Are

At the same time, there was a sense of relief. It has been three years and he finally was motivated to progress.Darryl smiled calmly and said, “Just doing some business, normally for promotional purposes but also occasionally helping the company with procurements. Just now, I was there to help my boss look for a new car.”Knowing that Lily might ask him further about buying a new car, Darryl explained to stop her from doing so.Lily nodded doubtfully and asked curiously, “What kind of company?”Darryl replied casually, “It’s just a small company.” In fact, Darryl was tempted to tell her the truth that he was the President of Platinum Corporation. However, after careful reconsideration, it was still not the best time, so he decided to continue hiding it from her.Understanding that Darryl did not want to talk more, Lily decided not to ask further. Her emotion was complicated as she pressed her lips and said, “Darryl, do you still refuse to come home?”Lily did not know what to

Few minutes later, Yuliana found Darryl at a snack stall.Yuliana was drenched in sweat when she appeared in front of Darryl. She said with confusion, “Mister, our Manager Luke would like to invite you to return to the centre.” She did not understand why Charles wanted to desperately look for this person.Darryl was enjoying his meatball stick as he casually said, “Just before, all of you enjoyed chasing me out, right? Now you want to invite me back? Who do you think I am?”Yuliana was very nervous and she almost cried. “Mister, I was wrong. My attitude was bad. If you don’t go back there with me, I will lose my job.”Yuliana bit her lips tightly. Before, she looked down on Darryl, but now she was begging him.As she almost cried, Darryl replied, “Fine.”Moments later, back at the Audi 4S centre, Yuliana politely brought Darryl into the office.Charles walked toward Darryl with a big smile the moment he saw him.“Mister Darby!” Darryl sat elegantly on the sofa, glared at Cha

Charles desperately stopped her, “No, that’s not necessary. I will handle it.”At the same time, a layer of cold sweat washed over him.He was the President of Platinum Corporation and Phoebe was Lily’s best friend. How could you not know that? You sounded so mean when you spoke to him.“Fine then, I won’t interfere. Once your relationship with Lily is settled, don’t forget to buy me dinner!” Phoebe kept her cellphone, bid farewell to Charles with a smile, turned around and left.At that moment, Phoebe did not notice how awkward the smile was on Charles’ face.“President Darby, about the contract…”Charles smiled as he went back into the office.Darryl said bluntly, “Sign it!” He added, “Before you sign this, there is one thing you need to understand. I don’t care how Lily and you met, but you should know what to do in the future by heart.”Charles quickly said, “I understand, I understand. I promise, Lilybud and I…, no, no. Miss Lyndon and I will keep a distance.”Darryl agre
