The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 28

Two policemen were blocking Darryl from entering the house. Darryl turned his head back and shouted, “Captain Castello, I am Lily’s husband and I am obligated to swap as her hostage. Please let me in!”

This…

After all, Megan could not intervene as Darryl had volunteered.

“Captain, did you hear him?” Granny quickly stood up and spoke. “Darryl volunteered himself. Quickly, let him swap as a hostage!”

Megan felt helpless, but even so, she nodded her head at Darryl.

“Let them go,” said Darryl coldly.

In the room, Ashton clenched his fists tightly seeing Darryl walking in. He untied the ropes on Samantha and Lily to let them go, and immediately grabbed and held on to Darryl!

“Both of you, leave now,” ordered Darryl as he looked at Lily.

Lily felt tears in her eyes. This man was willing to be a hostage in place of her!

“Let’s go quickly!” Samantha came to her senses. She pulled Lily and left the room without turning back.

Outside the house, the police and the Lyndon clan surrounded Lily and Samantha as soon as they saw them exiting. Wentworth burst out in tears.

“Lilybud, Sam, are you alright?” His hands shook as he held his wife and daughter.

He had always been dealing with business affairs and had never experienced any situation like that before. Just a moment ago, he was really frightened. However, he felt at ease seeing his wife and daughter were safe now.

“Dad, I’m alright. But Darryl, he…” Lily said as she turned to look at the house. Presently, Ashton was holding Darryl hostage with a sharp dagger resting on his neck.

However, there was not the slightest expression of fear on his face. On the contrary, he was looking at Lily with a smile!

“Daughter, why do you care about him?!” asked Samantha angrily. “His life and death do not relate to us! He is just a live-in son-in-law, three years of marriage and you both never even held hands. Why are you worried about his safety?”

“Indeed. Why do you have to make us worried!” Grandmother Lyndon said as she walked over. “Quickly, let us return home.”

“Yes, let’s go now,” Wentworth chimed in. He grabbed Lily’s hand and started to walk away.

“No, I will not leave. Darryl is still in there!” Lily said to them. However, nobody seemed to hear what she said. She did not know how many of them were pulling her away but very quickly, she was out of the residential community.

“Captain Castello, may I ask if there is anything else concerning us? If there isn’t, we’ll leave now,” asked Grandmother Lyndon, as she and two subordinates walked to Megan’s side.

Megan glanced at her and said, “Darryl is still in there, are you all not his family member?”

“No,” Granny responded decisively.

She turned around and left.

Darryl, who was in the house, saw the Lyndons left and remained expressionless.

“Tsk tsk tsk! Darryl, this is how much you’re worth?” Ashton laughed out loud.

“It doesn’t matter how much I’m worth, I just know that I have legally married Lily. How about you, why are you so miserable?” Darryl chuckled. “Ashton, let me ask you. Did the Darby clan suddenly withdraw the financial support they gave you and kicked you out of the company?”

“How did you know about this?!” Ashton shouted.

Not many people knew about it, even Lily and Samantha were not aware until he told them. However, how did this piece of trash Darryl caught wind of it?

“Did the Darby clan tell you too, that you messed with someone you shouldn’t have?” Darryl continued.

“How the f*ck did you know?!” Ashton screamed as he completely lost his mind.

Outside the door, a police officer ran toward Megan’s side.

“Madam Castello, that guy Darryl seemed to be speaking to the criminal and is further agitating him,” the police officer reported.

“That man!” Megan stomped her feet anxiously. “He is causing us trouble! Agitating the criminal like that, does he not want to live anymore?”

“Madam Castello!” The police officer reported again, with his face in disbelief! He was so surprised that he could not say anything! After a while, he slowly reported, “Madam Castello, look…the criminal…it seems like the criminal is kneeling in front of Darryl…”
