Chapter 42
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

Felix Blakely? Upon hearing this name, the three staff members shivered. One of them was even trembling. The entire Donghai City knows Felix. He had connections with both the good and the dark side! Why was he there? What relationship did he have with Platinum Corporation? “It’s fine if the three of you refuse to talk. Let me be frank from the start. If my investigation showed that it had something to do with you, you can imagine what the consequences are.” Right at the moment Felix finished his words, the guy standing at furthest left could not stand it anymore, and said, “I’ll tell… I’ll tell…” The other two exchanged looks, and nodded nervously too. Darryl, who was sitting on the couch at that moment, smiled. After a few minutes, Felix dismissed the three of them. He stood and said to Darryl, “Mr. Darby, it’s all clear now. Darryl laughed. He stood up and patted Felix’s shoulder. “You’re doing great, Felix. Your business is doing so well that in the past two years,

He objected? Haha! Every member of the Lyndon family looked at Darryl, feeling that he was shameless. Old grandma’s face turned dark and unhappy as she asked, “What did you say?” Darryl laughed coldly and clearly said, “You faulted my wife regarding the incident on Giselle’s show before investigating it thoroughly. You dismissed her position without understanding what had happened. Isn’t that too reckless?” Old grandma’s expression worsened, looking sharply at Darryl. “You mean I wrongly accused Lilybud?” Darryl was about to speak with confidence. However, at that moment, William could not hold back as he slammed the table, shouting while pointing at Darryl, “Who do you think you are? We are in a Lyndon family meeting. Since when can you speak freely here? What makes you think you are qualified to challenge grandma’s decision?” Darryl glared at him coldly. “I’m only asking for grandma to make a thorough investigation before making a conclusion. What are you fussing about?”
