Elsewhere.Darryl fell into a long dream while he was unconscious. He was being chased in his dream, and he could not stop running. Eventually, he slowly opened his eyes.Darryl was greeted by the sight of a luxurious bedroom.“Darryl, you’re awake?”Darryl heard a cheerful voice. Lily’s eyes were red as if she was crying.“Honey, why are your eyes so red?” asked Darryl with a smile. “Were you worried that something had happened to me? Come, give me a hug.”Darryl’s forced a pained smile. Even though his wounds have been tended to, they still stung.‘Damn it. I can’t believe I got shot twice a few days apart,’ Darryl thought to himself.Lily blushed and backed away shyly. “I… I wasn’t worried about you. I didn’t even cry!”Lily refused to reveal her true feelings even at that moment.The doctor mentioned that Darryl’s injuries were severe. The bullet was close to hitting his heart.Thankfully, he had finally awakened.“Darryl, I know what happened then. You and Dax saved us
“Darryl?” Clifford shouted, unable to hold back his surprise.‘What was going on? Why was Darryl here?’ he wondered. Clifford remembered clearly that Darryl rode an electric bike to the reunion. Was Darryl here to attend the celebration as well?‘Right, Darryl’s here to accompany his wife to present her gift!’ Clifford thought.A live-in son-in-law that’s life revolves around his wife all day was the only thing Darryl was good for. Clifford could not resist taking a few looks at Lily.‘She’s such a beauty! Her figure was perfect and extremely sexy! That beautiful face was comparable to that of a celebrity. Darryl, that brat really got lucky. However, rumor has it that this brat has not even touched his wife after three years of marriage. Everyone in Donghai City knows about this. Haha!’ Clifford thought. “Old class monitor!” Darryl smiled as he walked over to greet Clifford.“You guys know each other?” Dax asked. Before Darryl could answer, Clifford laughed internally. “
Clifford called himself a man of success at the last class reunion, but it turned out he just has a good godmother.“How was it? How was my godmother's gift?” Clifford looked at Darryl triumphantly as if he had the upper hand.“It is indeed a good gift, but no matter how good it is, it’s not a gift from you. What do you have to be proud of, flaunting your godmother's gift here? You are pretty shameless,” Darryl smiled. At this moment, everyone in the hall focused their eyes on Clifford.No matter how this young man showed off, it was still a gift from his godmother.‘Damn it!’ Clifford cursed to himself. Noticing everyone’s gaze on him, Clifford was angry, but he did not show it. “Who said there wasn’t a gift from me?”Clifford stood up, strode over to Dax, and took out an exquisite gift box.“President Sanders, it’s my honor to be here today to celebrate your grandfather’s birthday. This is a token of my appreciation. Please accept it,” Clifford opened the gift box and said
Clifford was immediately angered. He pointed at Darryl. “Darryl, shut up! You don't know anything!” What nonsense are you talking about!? What makes you think it’s worth only two million bucks?”‘Damn it, this man was crazy,’ Clifford thought. Clifford’s uncle bought the jade pendants, and his uncle has been collecting antiques for decades! The actual price of these jade pendants were three million bucks. He only pretended that it cost five million bucks just to show off.However, Darryl said that it was only worth two million bucks, which Clifford thought was total bullsh*t!Darryl shook his head. “There’s another name for this kind of paired jade pendants. Do you know what it’s called?”Everyone was curious and shook their heads.Darryl sighed and explained, “They were called Gemini Pendants in ancient times. It was a unique dowry a woman could give for marriage during the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was very much concerned with etiquette, so the Gemini Pendants were highly
Lily was truly anxious. Darryl would be ridiculed again if he could not get a gift.Even if he had a good relationship with Dax, it would be inappropriate to make up nonsense.“Haha! Darryl, where's your gift? Are you still bragging about it? Your wife doesn't even believe you! Come on, bring out your gift, and let me have a look,” Clifford laughed loudly. “It should be here soon.” Darryl looked at his watch. “I had someone send it over.”‘Had someone sent it over? Hahaha, that’s hilarious!’ Clifford thought. Clifford clutched his stomach and laughed, “Haha. Everyone! You guys don’t know this, but Darryl rode a lousy electric bike to our class reunion a few days ago. No one even acknowledged him! He doesn’t have any friends. Who’s going to help him with his gifts? Don’t tell me you ordered delivery? Haha!”Some of the girls could not hold back when they heard this and chuckled.“President Dickinson is here!” a voice shouted from outside the hall.Everyone looked towards the d
Emily brutally slapped Clifford across his face without any warning.The slap instantly left a palm print on Clifford’s face. “God...Godmother. Why did you slap me…?” Clifford choked as he covered his face. He was stunned.His godmother had pampered him so much all these years and treated him as her biological son. He felt aggrieved for being slapped out of nowhere.“Why do you think I slapped you? You almost got us into big trouble,” Emily fumed as she slapped him twice more.Nobody should mess with Darryl. Emily would not be who she is today if not for Darryl.“Go, kneel and apologize to Mister Darryl,” Emily huffed after slapping Clifford a few more times.Clifford’s body trembled, and he dared not ask any more questions at this moment. He walked over and knelt in front of Darryl, forcing out a smile. “I...I was wrong. I’m sorry…”The other guests in the hall could not help but draw a sharp breath.Emily’s aura was indeed strong; it was enough to make men feel inferior.W
“Although Darryl has committed a heinous act, as his father, you cannot be exempted from punishment! If you don’t admit your wrongdoing today, I’d rather hit you to death!” Old Master Darby said coldly.Smack! Smack! The rattan smacked Darryl’s father’s body as his fresh blood flowed on the floor.Luna was crying so much that she had lost her voice. “Please stop hitting him! Please stop! If this goes on, you’ll kill him!”“Stop hitting him?” Yumi walked towards Old Master Darby. “Grandpa, I think Daniel Darby won’t be sorry until he’s dead. He must think that you’re old and compassionate and won’t cause him any harm!”“Yes, Grandpa! If we don’t punish Darryl and his parents, it won’t be fair to the others!” the crowd around them shouted. Hearing what others said, Old Master Darby’s face turned green. “Someone, use the domestic discipline!”TzzzUpon hearing the two words, ‘domestic discipline,’ most of the family members took a cold breath. Daniel’s face also darkened in fear
“Dad! Dad!” Darryl yelled with his eyes red as he cut the rope loose with his sword and held his father in his arms.Meanwhile, Daniel’s body was completely ruined. His body emanated a burnt smell as his skin and clothes swirled into a mixture of blood and flesh. “Son…son. Tell me, did you do it? Did you do such a thing?” Daniel mumbled with his pale white lips as intense pain overwhelmed his body, and he trembled. “I didn’t. I didn’t!” Darryl cried, his face covered in uncontrollable tears.“That’s..good…” Daniel said with all his remaining strength.With a faint smile, his eyes shut. They didn’t know if he was dead or alive. “Dad! Dad, don’t scare me. Please, don’t scare me!” Darryl screamed till his voice was hoarse. He shook Daniel vigorously, but there was no response. “Stop yelling. It doesn’t matter if your dad is dead; he deserves it!” Yumi walked in her heels, pointing her finger at Daryl. “You grew up in the Darby mansion since you were young. Now you’re back here
