“Well, if you don’t believe in this Godly pill, then, goodbye,” Darryl did not seem to care and was ready to leave.“Wait!” Brandon called out after Darryl took a few steps.“Are you sure that this thing will help me break through to the Master General level?” Brandon asked. Darryl did not bother to say any more than he already did. He answered with just two simple words, “Of course.” Brandon took a long breath and said, “Fine. I’ll buy it. How much?”A smile appeared on Darryl’s face, thinking that Brandon thought he could fix any problem with his money. ‘Alright, if he’s so rich, I’ll make him break his bank today,’ with that thought, he showed two fingers to Brandon. In his mind, he planned to ask for two billion. However, Brandon misunderstood him. “Twenty billion? I’ll pay it,” Brandon asked excitedly with his bright eyes, nodding with a big grin. ‘Huh? Twenty billion. He spent 20 billion dollars without even blinking just to buy a Godly pill! This kid was crazy rich!
Chapter 72
After a long day, almost all the guests had left the mansion. Some of the Darby family seniors had left as well, leaving the younger family members still drinking in the living hall and insisting the groom to bring the bride back to their room.The groom, Jackson, drank a little too much in the afternoon, and he was still in a deep sleep. Whereas the bride, Rebecca Song, was busy entertaining the guests on his behalf.Of course, the eldest brother, Florian, and his wife, Yumi, were there, too.“Alright, it’s getting late. Time to go home!” Yumi looked at the time and urged.Florian did not seem like he was ready to leave just yet. He waved it off. “Ah, today is such a special occasion for all of us. Why don’t you go home first? I’ll stay on longer to chill for a while.”“You’re so drunk already. What’s there to talk about?” Yumi was not pleased, but she did not want to embarrass Florian in front of his family, so she had no choice but to leave. Once Yumi left, Florian’s gaze fel

Florian suddenly understood what his wife was trying to do. He brought over the eight-diagram mirror swiftly.“Darling, you’re so smart!” he praised Yumi while handing over the mirror.Yumi did not bother replying to him. She placed the mirror beside the bed, then walked over to open the window to make it seem like someone had come in from the window.She was framing Darryl.During the day, Darryl had gone on and on about his Feng Shui theories and even claimed that Abby fainted because of this mirror. Although Yumi was not convinced, she knew that many people were, including Rebecca. Since Darryl knew so much about Feng Shui Metaphysics, he could also have ways to make Rebecca faint using this mirror. When Rebecca woke the next morning and realized she had been assaulted with the mirror by the bed, she would naturally assume that it was Darryl who did it. After setting things up, she saw that Florian was still looking at Rebecca. “Didn’t see enough just now? Go!” Yumi scoffe

Samantha’s smile stiffened as she became awkward and almost sullen. However, Lily remained calm and confident. She stood up and introduced Darryl, “This is Darryl. We’re married.”“Oh… Samantha’s son-in-law, I see. He seems like a decent man. Where does he work?” Melanie said.“At a company,” Darryl answered calmly. He knew what Melanie was getting at but was not bothered. “What company? What position?” Melanie asked with a smile as if she genuinely cared.Without flinching, Darryl answered, “Just a normal office boy.”‘Ah! Just an office boy!’ Melanie thought. With that said, a faint disdain appeared on the faces around him. Watching their reactions, Melanie was pleased. “An office boy is good enough. It’s okay if you don’t work as well. Lily is so outstanding; there wouldn’t be any problem if you just stay at home,” she added.The sarcasm implied was obvious. Samantha’s face darkened. ‘It was all Darryl’s fault. Was he not aware of his position? Did he think it was oka

“My car? Hmm…I always believed that it's just a means of transportation, so I bought a normal car, an Audi R8,” Darryl answered, under the pressure of everyone’s gaze. He was not wrong. An Audi R8 was entry-level among all the top sports cars in the world. But it was not just a normal car.Wow! An uproar filled the room again. Everyone looked at him in disbelief that they thought they must have misheard.At the same time, both Samantha and Lily almost choked on their tea. ‘How did he dare to say this? His boss lent him this car, and now he claimed it belonged to him? This guy has thick skin,’ both of them thought. Jimmy was startled. ‘An Audi R8? The asking price was almost two million dollars! Was he faking it?’“Oh Samantha, you’re so nice to your son-in-law to have bought him such a nice car,” Melanie smiled, recovering from the shock, as she mocked Darryl and Samantha.Of course, she did not believe Darryl could afford an Audi R8. It must have been a gift from Samantha

Leaving would only make her look like a joke to Melanie, so Samantha stayed with all her strong will. She also decided that she would make her daughter divorce the piece of trash once she got home tonight. She would make sure the papers were settled by tomorrow. Lily thought Melanie was a little too much, but looking at Darryl beside her, she felt helpless. ‘Other people’s husbands could impress their mother-in-law’s friends, but her husband? Forget it!’ Lily thought. At this moment, Melanie turned to Darryl and asked with a smile, “Darryl, what do you think of the gift Jimmy bought me?”Without looking up, Darryl replied with a flat tone, “Not bad.”‘Not bad? What a joke. Could he afford it at all?’ Melanie thought. At this instant, everyone in the room laughed to themselves with looks of disdain on their faces.‘What were these people on about? What was so fun about comparing everything?’ Darryl wondered. Darryl could no longer stand their mocking. Helplessly, he stood u

Inside the box laid a glamorous necklace. The rubies on the necklace were as big as pigeon eggs. The necklace was dazzling and beautiful under the light. In comparison to this, the diamonds on the dress given by Jimmy were just like sands. Anyone with a pair of eyes would have figured out which gift was more valuable.However…“One ruby of this size would have cost a few million? Doesn’t that make this necklace at least twenty million?“From him? Such a valuable gift from him? Impossible!”“Exactly, I think it’s a fake.”The surrounding people were criticizing while Jimmy’s mind went blank. Others might not be able to tell, but Jimmy worked in the jewellery industry, he could tell from just one look. The rubies laying in front of him, with their surface gloss and clarity of texture, were as real as rubies could get, or worse, the quality seemed to be better than all the rubies he had seen in his life. Was he not a useless son-in-law? How..did he afford such an expensive gift?

As she watched the car disappear in sight, Lily frowned and went into the house.…At Darby Seaview Mansion.Jackson woke up in the bedroom. Confused, he opened his eyes with a hangover. He could not remember how much he actually drank at his wedding. But he seemed content. After running a two-year love marathon with Rebecca, they finally got married, and what further pleased him was that even Darryl, whom he had not met for years, showed up at his wedding. With that, a warm smile appeared on his face, as he stood up and walked out of the bedroom.“Rebecca?”He called out in the living hall, with no response, he felt something bad was about to happen.He saw the door of the guest room was opened and rushed over swiftly. When he was by the door, he felt as if he was struck by lightning; a shiver trembled over his body vigorously, as he saw something he would never forget for the rest of his life.His newlywed bride, lying on the bed.“Ah!”Jackson roared with anger, his eyes tu
