The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 62

Read The Ultimate Husband [by Skykissing wolf] Chapter 62 – The Lyndon family gathered around Wentworth and condemned him as if he was a prisoner.

“Wentworth, this was all your fault!”

“You swore that you could make money; now what happened?”

“I didn’t know Tony was unreliable. As it turns out…

“No matter what, you have to give us an explanation today.”

They got angrier along with the conversation. It was like there was a fire in their eyes; they looked like they would k**l Wentworth.

“Don’t worry, guys, there must be a solution to this matter,” Lily, who stood aside, said anxiously.

They were unable to take it easy! The great Lyndon family was about to go bankrupt because of her father!

Samantha also hurriedly said, “We’re family. Don’t get too emotional.”

However, no one cared about the mother and daughter at all.

Then, Granny Lyndon looked at Wentworth in disappointment and said, “Wentworth, you have failed me. Tell me, what should we do about this?”

Wentworth looked grim. “I didn’t expect it would turn out this way. Tony has disappeared, and I’m also trying to look for him.”

“Wentworth, why do I feel like this was a trap? That you helped set?” someone said.

A cast stone could make a thousand ripples. The others immediately agreed with that person.

“Yes, it must have been you and Tony who teamed up and cheated us!”

“Tell us! Where is Tony?”

“You’re a good actor, Wentworth.”

Wentworth was on the verge of tears. “I truly don’t know where Tony is. I am a victim too. Besides, how could I cheat my family with an outsider?”

However, none of them believed him. They got even more emotional and were about to punch him.

Just then, a panicked voice shouted, “Oh no! Old Madam, the patriarch of the White family, Claude White, is here, along with our clients.”

A few people walked into the hall as soon as he said that.

Claude White, the patriarch of the White family, led the group.

“Granny Lyndon, I think we need to suspend all our projects together.” Claude stepped forward, looked at Granny Lyndon, and got straight to the point.

Granny Lyndon’s face stiffened. “Mister White, why would you want to stop our partnership so suddenly?”

Then, Gailen Godfrey, the president of La Fortuna, stepped forward with a derisive smile on his face. ” Granny Lyndon, our partnership has been terminated. Don’t play the fool. We’ve all received news that Neptunus Corporation has invested all its funds into an overseas business and has lost everything.”

After a short pause, Gailen continued, “Your company’s funding has been cut off completely. ”

“Yes, your company is about to become an empty shell; what else can you offer us in this partnership? ” the president of another company, thundered.

Granny Lyndon’s body trembled, but she forced a smile. “Gentlemen, please listen to me. Neptunus Corporation’s situation is not as bad as you think, and regarding the matter of partnership…”

Before Granny Lyndon could finish speaking, Claude shook his head and interrupted her, ” Granny Lyndon, you don’t need to explain; none of us are fools. For the sake of our previous partnership, we won’t want any remuneration for this project. However, please return the deposit too.

“Yes, and ours too.”

“I don’t want to wait until Neptunus Corporation goes bankrupt. It would be too late to claim it then.”

Gailen and other partners spoke up one after another, and there was no doubt in their tone.

Everyone in the Lyndon family was upset as well.

“Mister White, you are kicking us when we are down.”

“Yeah, how could you guys do that?”

“When Neptunus Corporation was doing well, all of you offered to partner with us. Now that we’re in trouble, you’ve come to collect your debts. What a villainous act…”

Claude, Gailen, and the others did not want to be outdone as they faced accusations from the Lyndon family. They continued to quarrel in the villa hall.

Granny Lyndon almost passed out in anger, and finally, she hit the table. “Enough, stop arguing.”

When everyone had calmed down, Granny Lyndon took a deep breath. She looked at Claude and said sincerely, “Mister White, President Godfrey, since it has come to this, then I have nothing to say. I’m just an old lady. So why don’t you give me a few days to settle this?”

Claude, Gailen, and the others looked at each other for a few moments. Then, Claude nodded and said, ” Alright then, I’ll give you a three-day grace period. Granny Lyndon, you’re a friend of Felix Blakely, Emily Dickinson, and Wayne Woodall. Surely you don’t need our money, do you?”

After he said that, Claude turned and left the hall.

“Yeah, President White is right. Granny Lyndon, those big shots sent you so many gifts during your birthday celebration; they would definitely help you. If we don’t get the money three days later, we’

11 see you in court.” Gailen left as well after he finished his sentence.

All the other partners had also left.

Then, Granny Lyndon slumped on her chair; her face was pale.

She owed those clients hundreds of millions in debts. Where would she get the money in three days? She did not know Wayne Woodall and the others! She did not even know why they sent her gifts during her birthday celebration!
