The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 77

Read The Ultimate Husband [by Skykissing wolf] Chapter 77 – Inside the box laid a glamorous necklace.

The rubies on the necklace were as big as pigeon eggs. The necklace was dazzling and beautiful under the light. In comparison to this, the diamonds on the dress given by Jimmy were just like sands.

Anyone with a pair of eyes would have figured out which gift was more valuable.

However, …

“One ruby of this size would have cost a few million? Doesn’t that make this necklace at least twenty million?

“From him? Such a valuable gift from him? Impossible!”

“Exactly, I think it’s a fake.”

The surrounding people were criticizing while Jimmy’s mind went blank Others might not be able to tell, but Jimmy worked in the jewelry industry, he could tell from just one look. The rubies laying in front of him, with their surface gloss and clarity of texture, were as real as rubies could get, or worse, the quality seemed to be better than all the rubies he had seen in his life.

Was he not a useless son-in-law? How. Did he afford such an expensive gift?

Finally, Samantha snapped back to reality, she looked at Darryl confusingly, “How much did you spend on this?”

Samantha had countless pieces of jewelry but never had she seen such big rubies. Thus she was not sure if these were real or fake.

“A friend of mine gave it to me,” Darryl answered looking at her.

Hearing this, Samantha had mixed feelings. ‘Given to him by a friend of his? Can’t be real then! What a useless piece of trash, how well off can his friends be?’ Samantha thought, as she was about to toss the gift into the bin next to her.

“Let me have a look.”

One of her friends’ daughters walked over, who had two years of professional knowledge on gems verification. Therefore, when she spoke up, everyone held their breath.

“This…this is real, and every ruby is of the highest quality.” The woman said after holding the necklace under the light, she exclaimed, “the design is in the style of European Royalty, I’d conservatively estimate this to be around thirty million, and if it was actually owned by the Royalty, it would be priceless.”

With that said, the woman looked at Darryl with a look of wonder.

Huh? Thirty million? Conservatively estimate? Shocking!

Jimmy knew this necklace was real from the

beginning but stayed silent anyway. When he heard of what the woman said, his face seemed confused with mixed feelings; Melanie had her mouth opened, unable to formulate any sentence.

“Darryl, are you… are you sure you’re giving this to me?” Samantha mumbled as she looked at Darryl, surprised and astonished.

At this moment, Samantha did not care where or how Darryl got this from, she only wanted to know if this was given to her. After all, it was a necklace of thirty million!

Darryl smiled, “This was meant for you anyway, Mom. I hope you like it,” as he said, he thought of how generous his uncle was. However, in comparison to the thirty billion he spent to save the Darby family, this thirty million necklace was nothing.

“Of course, I love it!” Samantha nodded as she trembled in excitement. Happily, she put on the necklace.

Lily remained silent throughout, but she looked at Daryl dubiously.

Which of his friends would give him something so valuable? First, the five million, and now a necklace worthy of thirty million? She ought to find out from him once the dinner was over.

With that, Samantha became the center of focus for the rest of the evening. Everyone wanted to talk to her, everyone was so materialistic nowadays.

On the way home, Lily finally could not hold it anymore, she questioned Darryl, “Who is that friend of yours? What’s his name?”

“What friend?” Darryl pretended to be confused.

“The one who gave you the necklace,” Lily said anxiously.

As if a realization hit him, “Oh! Him! The friend who lent me five million.”

“Don’t you try to avoid my question. I’m asking you, who is he?”

By then, they had reached their house. Darryl rubbed his forehead as if remembered something, “Right, my boss wanted me to do something. Why? don’t you go home first? I really have to go.”

Lily had no choice but to get down the car. With that, Darryl stepped on the accelerator and the car disappeared out of sight.
