The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 179

Read The Ultimate Husband [by Skykissing wolf] Chapter 179 – Lily’s heart tightened at Granny’s words, but she remained calm.

“Granny, it’s okay. I don’t mind being tired. Since I’ m young, it’s okay to work harder than others,” she said.

‘Haha!’ the crowd laughed to themselves. “Lily, stop pretending. It doesn’t matter how hardworking you are. With your ability, there’s no way you can lead the business,” William mocked from the side.

The crowd around them nodded in agreement. Nobody was convinced of Lily being the one in charge of the business.

Lily bit her lips. “Granny, what can I do for you to be happy? Must I give away my share?”

“Oh Lilybud, it’s not that I don’t believe in you. Honestly speaking, you don’t have the best ability among us. You’re just a woman, after all, not a man. A big family like ours can’t have a girl like you in charge,” Granny replied.

Lily sighed to herself. Ever since she became in charge, she knew that nobody was on her side. She knew this day was coming, but she did not expect it to be so soon.

“Lilybud, I’m not trying to take away your authority, but I can’t bear to see our business decline. There’s a lot of potential members in your generation, like William. We can’t take away his opportunity,” Granny comforted. “That’s why I’d like you to give away some of your shares so that we can form a family board of directors. Of course, you’ 11 still be the first board of director. What do you say?”

William, who was sitting on the side, could not help the excitement in his heart. Once Lily gave out her shares, she would no longer be in charge.

Meanwhile, everyone in the hall had their eyes stuck on Lily with mixed feelings.

Lily let out a sigh as she nodded, “If Granny insists.”

She did not have much choice. She had to agree, or else nobody would be loyal to her even if she remained in charge.

“My Lilybud is so mature and knows how to see the big picture,” Granny nodded with a smile.

In the next instant, she asked the treasurer to bring forward a document  prepared in advance to let Lily sign.

Three days later.

It was a Sunday with good weather. There were many people out on the streets of Donghai City as Darryl rode on his motorbike outside the Platinum Corporation. His cheap motorbike offered a stark contrast to the grand and luxurious entrance of the building. It was eye-catching. Not because of his motorbike, but because of Shelly, who sat behind him. Shelly was dressed in a short skirt, showing off her fair, long legs, and attracting the public’s gaze. An attractive woman on a motorbike was a rare and picturesque scene that caused many people to take out their phones to capture. Even the new security guards could not help but look and talk amongst themselves.

Darryl was depressed. He did not want to show up on his motorbike either, but he had no choice. The other night when they were having dinner, Shelly mentioned that she wanted to buy a car, but she

just got her license and was scared to buy one. Without hesitation, Darryl had let her drive his Audi RR to practice. Unfortunately, Shelly crashed into a signpost by the roadside within a hundred meters, and the car was sent for repair right away.

Darryl was speechless. There was no one in front of the car, so he had no idea why she turned the steering wheel in a panic out of the blue. However, he was secretly amused by Shelly’s pitiful and cute gaze.

Today was a Sunday, so Shelly did not have work. When Darryl fold her that he was coming to the Platinum Corporation, she said she wanted to come along to meet some superstars. Darryl did not reject her and brought her along on his motorbike. He had not been back there in the last couple of days, but knowing that his secretary Pearl was in charge, he was not too worried.

However, a problem occurred recently. After the “ Superstar” TV program came out, Giselle Lindt’s popularity instantly boomed as many companies asked for collaborations with her within half a month. Yet, in the past few days, all those collaborations had been canceled for no reason, including the advertisement companies.
