Everyone surrounding them was stunned.“Hey, this beauty has a hot temper.”“Sizzling hot!”Many of them started to talk about Jade. Silently of course, as they worried Jade might hear them, and they might annoy the fierce, beautiful lady.However, the crowd did not notice that when Jade was scolding William harshly, her focus was actually on Darryl’s reaction.As she saw Darryl's mouth curve upward smiling in agreement of her actions, Jade felt more encouraged.“You, the filthy one that looked down on people. You think that Brother Darby needs a rich woman? You must be blind!”Brother Darby?After listening to how Jade addressed Darryl, everyone was yet again stunned. William was shocked too.After a few lines of scolding, Jade turned around and went back into the car. Standing there politely, she smiled sweetly and said, “Brother Darby, I didn’t do anything wrong just now right?”Darryl replied casually, “You did great!” Jade was so happy to get the recognition from Darry

When he woke up again, Darryl realised he was lying on the floor in the office. He was sweating profusely and his clothes were drenched.The burning and pain throughout his body had now disappeared.S*it! Samson must have been cheated.Two years have passed and whatever effects the pill had would have been gone by now.How was he so silly and ate it? Luckily nothing bad happened. As he was feeling lucky, his cellphone rang.Seeing an unknown number displayed, Darryl squeezed his brows and answered it.“How are you? Is this Darryl?”Once the call was connected, a gentle yet attractive voice came through the phone, sounding good and attractive.This voice sounded rather familiar.Darryl squeezed his brows further and asked, “You are?”She introduced herself with a smile, “Oh, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Yvonne Young.” Yvonne?Gulp!Darryl swallowed his saliva. An extremely gentle and sexy figure appeared in his mind.The next moment, Darryl smiled and asked,

The young lad who came from Lin City was Leo White. Due to a family member suffering from cancer, he wished to sell off the family treasure for money.A few other store owners nearby were also there after hearing about it.After Peter explained the background story to Yvonne, he introduced her, “This is our lady boss, Ms. Yvonne.”Leo nodded honestly and said, “If you as the lady boss is unable to decide, I will have to go to another store.”After saying that, he opened the box.In the box was a blood-colored jade pendant.With an antique carving, the surface was round and moist. The most unique part was that there was some red tear-like pattern inside.Yvonne could not stop talking after she set her eyes on it. “Blood tear jade?”The few other antique store owners took deep breaths and were all in awe.“Hey, it’s really a blood tear jade.”“Look at the color, it’s top quality.”The few antique store owners were chatting among each other, and were amazed. Leo felt proud and

Jack was annoyed and said, “Ms. Young, I already accepted the purchase of the blood tear jade for 500 million bucks. You can keep the 150 million bucks for yourself.” Yvonne appeared as if she did not hear a word and looked sharply at Leo. “Mr. White, I will take the jade. Although my price is lower, you will still need to sell it to me. You do need to stick to your words, right?” The other antique store owners nodded in agreement. “Yes, first come, first served.” “Little brother, we must stick to the principle,” “You are still negotiating with Ms. Young. It is not right to sell to others.” The antique store owners were unanimously on Yvonne’s side. Needless to say, the Young family was really famous in the antique industry. Therefore, whoever was in that industry would like to build a relationship with them. “Never mind!” Leo seemed pressured and sighed. He apologized to Jack,” Sorry sir. Although you offered 500 million bucks, I cannot sell it. I have to sell it to M

The few antique store owners broke into laughter, as Yvonne bit her lips tightly. She looked at Darryl silently, feeling troubled. The blood tear jade in front of her, no matter the material, color, or craftsmanship, matched the information she researched before this. Why would he claim that it was a fake? Yvonne thought that Darryl was not the same as what people used to describe him as. It was unexpectable that after meeting him, he was indeed a useless person. No wonder everyone despised him. He did not have any knowledge on antiques at all and was just pretending. At that moment, Leo and Jack looked at each other and smiled. They were wondering about Darryl’s background, and now they knew that he was just a live-in son-in-law that everyone looked down on. S*it! That scared the both of them. The next moment, Leo, as if he was defamed, rebutted while looking at Darryl, “The lady boss of Pearl Pavilion and the other store owners here all identified that this is a genuine

It was at that moment the sound of police sirens could be heard. Someone called the police? Leo started to break out into cold sweat, and ran. “Trying to escape?” “Stop him!” A few antique store owners reacted and yelled at him. The other workers near them, heard the yelling, and immediately stopped Leo and held him down on the floor. Jack, pretending he was also a victim of the fraud quickly said, “S*it it is really a fake. This b*stard almost cost me 500 million bucks.” He ran forward and spat on Leo, started scolding and was preparing to leave. However, when he turned and was about to leave Pearl Pavilion, a body dashed in front of him, and blocked him. It was Darryl. “S&it, what’s wrong with you? Why are you blocking me?” Jack looked upset. Everyone came over and watched them. Darryl said with a smile while looking at Jack, “You can’t just leave your partner behind to get arrested can you?” Jack’s face turned green and said, “What do you mean?” “Enough. Yo

A few police officers quickly ran over to check, and without a surprise, they ripped a mask off Leo’s face as well. A year ago, a wealthy merchant who came to Donghai City for investment was cheated off an antique painting valued at 1 billion bucks by two partners. The head office of the police department put a lot of focus on this case and instructed Megan to solve the case as soon as possible. Due to the duo being smart, despite Megan following the case for a year, she failed to locate their trails. She did not expect that she would be able to catch them today. Megan was shivering as she had just made a great achievement! The other antique store owners who initially wanted to testify for Jack, were all standing there speechless. They knew too well about the fraud case that happened a year ago. They never thought that the two of them were the masterminds, and had the guts to cheat the Young family. At the same time, they also curiously looked at Darryl. Their masks wer

To be honest, Yvonne was worried that 50 thousand bucks was a little low. However, that was the limit of her authority. Peter, the staff in charge sighed deeply at that moment! What? An honorable antique appraiser, deserved a monthly salary of 50 thousand bucks? His salary was only slightly over 10 thousand bucks a month! After considering Darryl’s explanation when he appraised the blood tear jade, Peter had to admit that he was not as good, hence he stopped himself from feeling dissatisfied but remained envious of Darryl. After a small thought, Darryl agreed and said, “Oh… since I don’t have to be here every day, it should be fine.” It was such a great offer and yet he was showing a difficult expression. Had he turned crazy after being the live-in son-in-law? Looking at Darryl’s reaction, Peter became speechless. Yvonne was delighted as she said, “That’s great. It’s finalized then.” Darryl smiled and bid farewell to Yvonne as the day was getting late. The next a
