Chapter 76
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

“I felt a sharp pain at first, then I thought it was you, so I...”After recalling, Rebecca felt horrible. At the same time, she looked at the eight-diagram mirror and started suspecting Darryl.Jackson did not speak but hugged her tight with his fists, almost bleeding from his nails stabbing his flesh. In order to protect her reputation, they would not tell the public about this. The best thing to do was to investigate on their own.However, their conversation was overheard by the two maids outside the bedroom. They looked at each other in shock.During the wedding reception in the afternoon, Rebecca saw the maids were tired, so she asked them to take a rest. Therefore, when Rebecca was assaulted, the maids were resting and did not know what happened, up till when Jackson roared in anger that they were woken up.By then, both of them went back to their room, after overhearing what they were not meant to hear.On the next day, the rumor spread around the Darby family.

At the moment, Granny Lyndon sat down, her gaze searched through the crowd as she spoke in a serious tone.The crowd was made of family members of the Lyndon family. Everyone had a sullen look on, keeping silent. The final power of Lyndon Enterprise had fallen onto Paul James’ hands, as a matter of fact. Paul was not an ordinary man, Granny Lyndon trying to get back the authority from him seemed more of a dream than reality. At this instant, William Lyndon’s eyes twinkled, he stood up saying, “Granny, I have an idea.”“Great, William, tell us your idea!” Granny Lyndon said with a joyous look.Due to the incident with Giselle Lindt in the show earlier, William was punished by not being allowed to get involved with the family business. Yet this was a serious matter concerning the life and death of the enterprise, so Granny did not care about the punishment. Most importantly, this was mainly due to Granny’s favoritism of William. Granny’s welcoming attitude encouraged William, he sai

Granny Lyndon repeated again, “William, if we successfully sold out our shares, I’ll not only reward you greatly, I’ll also handover the Lyndon Enterprise to you.”“Thank you Granny. Thank you Granny!” William almost burst with excitement, he intentionally glanced at Lily.‘Aren’t you the highest achieving one here? My deal with Platinum Corporation was stolen by you. Yet, now that our enterprise faced danger, wasn’t it me, William Lyndon who saved it?’ William thought to himself.Sometime later, a black limousine pulled over by the entrance of Lyndon Residence. A man walked down the limousine in casual wear with sunglasses on. It was Trent Young, with a few bodyguards following behind him. He was in his twenties, but with his outstanding skills, he made a name of himself in the martial world. A very capable man.“Granny, Master Young is here.”People who practiced martial arts were called ‘Master’ as a form of respect.“Please, please come in,” Granny said excitedly as she stoo

Under the pressure of everyone’s gaze, Elsa was uncomfortable. She wanted to speak up but held back.William recovered from the shock, and said to Trent, “Bro, you scared me back there! I was thinking about what could you possibly ask for, so it turned out to be this!”Trent did not speak, he just looked at Granny in anticipation. This proposed marriage determined the Lyndon family’s future, which only Granny had the authority to speak for.At this moment, Granny did not hesitate, she smiled, “It’s our pleasure to be able to unite with Master Young in marriage,” Granny then turned to Elsa and asked, “Elsa, what do you think?”Elsa stood up, as she was about to speak, Trent shook his head, “Granny, I think you’re mistaken. I’m not talking about her.”What? Not Elsa Lyndon? What was he proposing to?Everyone was in shock. Elsa was caught off guard with mixed feelings on her face. She was relieved but curious.When the Lyndon family was confused, Trent smiled and walked over with a

“Tsk tsk, so sexy! Your angry face makes my heart itch. I want you for sure.” Lily’s complaint did not make Trent back off but made him more excited. With that said, he grabbed on Lily again. This time, Trent used his martial skill to grab her hands, of course, she did not manage to push him away. Following that, Trent got closer to her, and sniffed loudly in front her, with a dreamy look in his face, “You smell so good.”By then, Granny’s face turned green. Actually, she had already accepted Trent’s proposal to Lily, since it was not something bad anyway. She was about to appoint a date for Trent to bring Lily home. However, Trent misbehaved in front of her and everyone else, in their mansion.“Get your hands off her!” Samantha finally stepped in, and yelled at Trent. However much Samantha did not like Darryl and wanted Lily to leave him, after receiving the necklace from him last night, her impression of Darryl had changed ever so slightly.
