The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 46

A few police officers quickly ran over to check, and without a surprise, they ripped a mask off Leo’s face as well.

A year ago, a wealthy merchant who came to Donghai City for investment was cheated off an antique painting valued at 1 billion bucks by two partners. The head office of the police department put a lot of focus on this case and instructed Megan to solve the case as soon as possible.

Due to the duo being smart, despite Megan following the case for a year, she failed to locate their trails.

She did not expect that she would be able to catch them today.

Megan was shivering as she had just made a great achievement!

The other antique store owners who initially wanted to testify for Jack, were all standing there speechless.

They knew too well about the fraud case that happened a year ago. They never thought that the two of them were the masterminds, and had the guts to cheat the Young family.

At the same time, they also curiously looked at Darryl.

Their masks were so real that none of them saw through it. How did he manage to see it?

They did not question further due to Megan’s presence.

At that moment, Megan instructed her officers to bring the two into the car, and then walked up to Darryl.

Megan bit her lips and awkwardly said, “Darryl, I am sorry. I was too impulsive just now. I almost missed the chance to break the case. Thank you very much for your help.”

Darryl smiled and waved his hands. “It was nothing, I just didn’t want to let the bad guys escape.”

Megan nodded and asked curiously, “How did you know that Jack was wearing a mask?”

Darryl thought for a moment and casually replied, “It was nothing extraordinary. When he was struggling just now, a tiny piece of the mask rolled up and I caught sight of it.”

To be honest, Darryl himself was rather puzzled about her question too.

Jack’s disguise was perfect. The only flaw was the joint between the mask and his neck. This flaw was unnoticeable by normal humans, but he was unsure why he noticed it.

Since when did his vision get so much better?

Darryl was mumbling in his heart.

Megan did not doubt him, smiled and said, “No matter what, I really thank you for your help. I shall buy you dinner when there is a chance in the future.”

After saying that, Megan left.

During the journey back to the police station, Leo and Jack who were in the backseat were furious and dissatisfied.

The both of them had planned the fraud trap for a while now. They thought that it was a perfect plan. However, they did not expect Darryl to bust their plan at the most critical moment.

Jack asked Leo in anger, “That fella is Darryl Darby, right?”

Leo nodded, “That was what the other antique store owners said. He is apparently the live-in son-in-law of the Lyndon family.”

Jack bit his lips and clenched his fists. “S*it, when we get out of here one day, we shall kill him!”

Back at the Pearl Pavilion, watching everyone leave, Yvonne walked over in her stilettos. She asked, “Darryl, how did you know that the two of them were a fraud?”

Darryl grinned and casually explained, “It was nothing. It’s just that I read a lot of detective works. Besides, their acting was really bad to be honest.”

Seeing how easy it sounded from him, Yvonne laughed and asked further, “The knowledge of the blood tear jade that you shared just now, where did you learn it from?”

Oh no, this was a hard question.

Darryl gave it a thought and said, “About that, I learnt about antiques from an old master, so…”

Darryl shrugged.

It was obvious.

Appraising the authenticity of a blood tear jade was just a simple task.

Yvonne was suddenly emotional suddenly and sounded nervous, “What is the name of the old master? Where does he live?”

She was unable to identify the authenticity of the blood tear jade, but Darryl could easily identify it, and shared so much knowledge she never knew.

The old master that taught him must have been even more knowledgeable.

She had to meet this master no matter what.

However, the reply from Darryl next made Yvonne very disappointed.

Darryl replied in an apologetic manner, “I have not seen him for many years now. I’m not sure where he lives.”

Hearing that, Yvonne sighed. She did not want to continue on that topic. She looked at Darryl with a complicated heart and asked gently, “Darryl, can you promise me something?”

“What is that?”

Yvonne gently asked, “I hope to invite you to be our Pearl Pavilion’s antique appraiser. You don’t need to be at the store every day. You just need to be present when we need your help. The monthly salary will be 50 thousand bucks. Is that fine?”
