Chapter 6: Darryl returns Regina's bra

Regina wearily fell asleep in bed for a while until the maid came knocking on her door.

"Lady Regina Lynne, Sir Joshua calls you downstairs immediately."

Hearing the maid's anxious voice, I was a bit surprised. I quickly put on a classic and comfortable chiffon dress, fixed my long, messy hair and went downstairs.

The noisy conversation made me suspicious, because recently, since my family fell into a state of capital shortage and was in danger of bankruptcy, no one came to our house.

When I entered the living room, I immediately saw Darryl Rider. On reflex, I was about to turn around and leave. But before I could do that, my father smiled and waved to me.

"Regina, here you are. Hurry up and say hello to Mr. Rider."

I stopped, my heart pounding, sweat uncontrollably pouring out the back of my skirt. I understand this time I can't avoid it, so I have to pretend to be stupid and not remember anything.

"Hello, Mr. Rider." I sat down next to my father.

Darryl Rider's eyes lifted slightly and looked at me deeply, his deep blue eyes made it difficult for me to guess what he was thinking.

"Sir Rider is here to discuss business with our family." Mr. Joshua laughs with ease and enthusiasm. "We're really lucky to receive an investment from you. It's like a dream."

Joshua and Anne both laughed merrily, as if the anger and hostility they had aimed at her this morning were not their true feelings.

"Lady Lynne is as beautiful as the day we met." Darryl sat cross-legged, leisurely, one hand resting on her chin and tilted her head to look at her.

For some reason, Regina felt like he was looking through her clothes and examining her body. Regina's cheeks flushed red, she awkwardly turned her head away and tried to look calm.

"You two know each other?" Anne smiled as she spoke, but the fleeting glance at Regina did not carry any goodwill.

"Yes, yesterday I happened to see Lady Lynne having some trouble with Mr. Peter, so I helped her."

Darryl Rider explained simply, Mr. Joshua and Mrs. Anne immediately understood what had happened. So it's not a coincidence that Darryl comes to find their family and actively makes an investment offer for their company that is about to go bankrupt. Earlier, Anne had wondered why Darryl suddenly asked Regina Lynne if she was at home. She thought Darryl was simply curious or interested in Regina, but she didn't expect it to be so profound.

Mr. Joshua and Mrs. Anne glanced at each other, they both understood who Regina had slept with yesterday.

Mr. Joshua is a cunning and observant man, and he laughs and says.

"Mr. Rider, your investment makes us very grateful. We wondered if there was any way we could repay you?"

"..." Darryl was still looking at Regina from beginning to end, observing her expression as if it were a pleasure, finding it cute when she blushed. When he heard Mr. Rider ask that, he raised his eyebrows slightly. "Miss Lynne isn't betrothed, is she?"

Mr. Darryl asked me, Regina was a little startled and turned to look at him, then gave him a small nod.

Mr. Joshua grasped the situation quite quickly, he immediately saw Darryl's eyes filled with interest and love for his daughter, so he made an offer.

"My daughter is only 24 years old, currently a singer. She is a bit quiet and quiet but very obedient. If Mr. Rider made my daughter the woman by your side, I believe she will not let you down."

"Father..." Regina's heart skipped a beat. Bad luck made her almost sell her life to an old billionaire. Now, she is sold by her father to the most bloodthirsty and dangerous mafia boss in Italy. Is this any different from her father pushing her to her death?

Mr. Joshua did not allow Regina to argue back, he glanced at her sickle eye then turned away and smiled wryly at Darryl.

"I didn't like having a mistress before." Darryl spoke coldly to Mr. Joshua.

"Er... so what do you mean?" Mr. Joshua was a little confused.

"I've only had one woman as my wife in all my life. You know, Joshua, my life is pretty dangerous, so it's hard to trust too many women."

"You want to marry Regina Lynne?" Anne widened her eyes in surprise and exclaimed. "This...."

"Three days later, my assistant will come to your eco-zone and transfer the investment amount as promised. Guys can take advantage of that time to think carefully. I hope to see Lady Regina at my mansion after three days."

Having said that, Darryl Rider did not linger long, he left immediately. His demeanor is used to making suggestions or giving orders, he doesn't like to explain too much. Naturally, Darryl was overconfident that Regina would definitely appear at his mansion in three days. Until now, few people could resist the demands he made.

"By the way, you forgot something in my mansion." Darryl walked over to Regina, dropped to one knee, and looked at her. "Maybe you need to buy a larger size, it's a bit small for you."

Seeing my black lace bra in Darryl's hand, Regina was so embarrassed that her face changed, I frantically grabbed the bra and hid it behind my back. Surely Darryl was deliberately teasing her to pull her bra out in front of her family like that.

Mr. Joshua and Mrs. Anne were shocked but did not dare to discuss Darryl's actions, they just kept quiet and pretended not to see or notice.

Waiting for Darryl to leave, Anne let out a breath, her tense body finally relaxed and leaned back in the chair.

"Didn't expect Darryl Rider to want to marry our daughter." Mr. Joshua ruffled his hair and muttered. "It's actually possible, as long as he's willing to help our family."

"Noway."

"Cannot."

Anne and Regina exclaimed at the same time. If Mr. Joshua could understand that Regina was against marrying Darryl because she was afraid, he was baffled by his wife's overreaction.

"Isn't this a good thing for Regina? Even though she's a bit disadvantaged to be the wife of a notorious mafia boss." Mr. Joshua told Mrs. Anne.

"What's wrong with Regina? This is a bargain for her. To be the woman of Darryl Rider, to live in riches and fame, who wouldn't want to. Despite the danger, there are still millions of women who want to be Darryl's wife." Anne said in a voice of extreme exasperation.

"So what do you really want? Denying Darryl's request? You want him to kill this family?" Mr. Joshua scratched his head, thinking at first he was lucky to have Darryl Rider's help, but now things seem to be getting more and more complicated.

"You care so much about Regina, what about my daughter? Is Roxana Lynne not worthy to be Darryl Rider's wife?" She blurted out what she really thought.

Just as everyone was discussing an arranged marriage that Darryl proposed for their daughter, Roxana's voice echoed from the outside gate.
