The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 45

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. You don’t have to pretend anymore. With your acting skills, you will be better off being an actor. Who wants to be a fraud?” Looking at Jack who still refused to admit his fraud, Darryl sighed and shook his head.

Jack wasted no time. He was about to walk past Darryl to make a run for it only to realize that his shoulders were locked in by Darryl.

At that moment, Jack felt that Darryl’s hands were like vices. He could not release himself no matter how hard he tried.

Jack’s eyes were rolling around in panic as he was nervous and scolded him, “Idiot, are you sick? He was trying to cheat me, so what does it have to do with me? I almost fell for the trap as well.”

All these were happening too fast for Yvonne to react as she just stood frozen in her spot.

It was then that Megan walked in with a few police officers.

Megan was not in her uniform that day, but she still looked dignified. Her pair of tight jeans made her body look hot and sexy.

She walked to Darryl and asked, “Is he a fraud too?”

Not waiting for Darryl to reply, Jack pleaded, “Pretty officer, please give me some justice. I am here to buy antique items and I was also a victim. This young fella refused to let me go with no reasons, so please help me.”

A few of the antique store owners came forward to testify.

“Yes, Mr. Trevor is here to buy antiques.”

“We are the witnesses.”

“Hey, son-in-law of the Lyndon family, what are you doing? Even though you recognized the jade is fake by pure luck, you cannot accuse others.”

Darryl just laughed. What a bunch of silly men.

It was obvious that Leo and Jack were acting together. Now that Leo was caught, they still could not see that Jack was a problem too.

However, Darryl became speechless because even Megan believed Jack and the words of the other antique store owners.

At that moment, Megan squeezed her brows and said to Darryl, “Darryl, you can’t accuse him. Just let him go.”

Jack felt relieved, threw a cold grin at Darryl and said, “Did you hear that? I still have business meetings tomorrow. Will you be responsible if I can’t attend them?”

Sigh!

Hearing the words from Megan, Darryl sighed.

If he were to let Jack leave, he would surely find a way to get Leo out as well. They will then commit fraud elsewhere.

Enough, he should mind his own business instead. Darryl was upset, but was about to release his grip. Suddenly, at that moment, he locked his brows!

What was on Jack’s face did not look right…

Rip!

The next second, Darryl acted at high speed, tearing off something from Jack’s face.

It was a mask!

Argh!

Looking at Jack’s real face, everyone sighed.

It was not about how scary Jack looked, but it was his despicable face that was a huge contrast to the honest look he had before.

“It’s you?” Megan caught on to Jack instantly.

She recognized that man! To be more accurate, everyone in the police station knew Jack! He was the suspect of an antique fraud case a year ago!

“Hurry up, and quickly take a look at Leo's face. See if there is a mask too!” Megan was beyond excited.
