The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 40

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 Darryl. She added, “My car is in that workshop right in front of you for maintenance. Don’t bother, Brother Darby, you don’t have to send me any further.”

Darryl nodded and said, “Fine, you may go.”

Jade quickly replied to him and bid farewell to Darryl. Under the curious gaze of everyone present, she turned and walked toward the exit.

After Jade left, people that gathered around left as well, feeling that there would be nothing else interesting that would happen.

At that juncture, William regathered his thoughts as he felt the burning pain on his face. With flames in his eyes, he stared at Darryl and said, “Darryl, so now you’re not with a rich woman but having an affair instead!”

“Confess now. What’s with this car? Did Lily use her position at work and the company’s money for it?”

Listening to William starting to speak nonsense again, Darryl felt ridiculous and calmly said, “You don’t need to know how I got my car. The car does not have a single thing to do with your family’s company.”

After saying that, looking at the traffic in front starting to ease, Darryl stepped on the accelerator and left.

As William watched Darryl leave coldly, his anger boiled and he cursed, “S*it! Darryl Darby, we’ll see! I’m not done with you yet!” Then, he left the busy street with his secretary.

At Platinum Entertainment.

After leaving the busy streets, Darryl went back to his office, and sent a message to Lily that he would not be going home later that night as he was busy.

Lily did not question further and just replied with three words, “Fine, I know.”

The incident with William earlier totally did not affect Darryl’s mood.

Despite William’s position in the Lyndon family, he was Granny Lyndon’s favorite. In Darryl’s eyes, he was only a clown, a retard.

After confirming with Pearl that there were no other tasks that the headquarters required him to look into, Darryl proceeded to take a nap in the resting lounge.

When he woke up later, he saw a wooden box behind the door, remembering the birthday present that Samson gave him the other day. Darryl reached out to the box and opened it.

A light scent emerged from the wooden box when it was opened. Darryl was stunned.

Inside the box was a round pill.

A kidney tonic pill? A performance enhancement pill? An energy pill?

For a moment, Darryl’s mind was full of images of male health products as seen on the T.V.

He felt angry and funny at the same time.

What was Samson trying to do? Playing fool with him? He would not dare to do that.

Confused, Darryl gave Samson a call.

Samson politely answered the call once it connected, “Mr Darby, are there any instructions for me?”

Darryl took a deep breath and said, “What is the pill you gave me for?”

Hearing Darryl asking about the pill, Samson immediately explained in detail, “Haha, Mr. Darby, please do not be angry. I asked someone to get the pill from a master for me. It was said that it would strengthen one’s health. Do you know that the master is really famous? A normal person would never be able to get it. I had to…”

Darryl was confused listening to him and quickly said, “That’s fine... that’s fine. It’s all good now. You can get back to work.”

After hanging up the phone, Darryl was staring at the pill in doubt.

To take? Or not to take it?

Thinking that Samson would never harm him, Darryl swallowed the pill.

Right after he swallowed the pill, Darryl regretted. This was because he felt there was a heat wave growing in his stomach, then through his entire body. At the same time, an explainable pain attacked his nerves.

Darryl could not stand the feeling, rolling on the floor, and everything then went pitch black. He fainted.
