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
Once Darryl was finally out of sight, Yumi crawled up slowly, running over to Old Master Darby. “Grandpa, th-this is unacceptable!” Yumi was fuming in rage; her beautiful face was stained with the mark of Darryl’s palm and wounded with blood.Old Master Darby was trembling. He ignored Yumi and looked toward the other side of the room. In front of the entrance stood Dax Sanders and his hundreds of men. Meanwhile, the Darby members were beaten, blood splashed all over the floor. “Who are you!” Old Master Darby asked, looking at Dax. Dax marched forward and replied with a smile, “Dax is my first name and Sanders is my last. What?Everyone held their breath. ‘Dax. Dax Sanders? Everyone in Donghai City knew this name.’Dax Sanders. Old Master Darby stood up and said, “Oh, the Sanders. What are you doing in Darby mansion? Why are you getting involved in our family business!”Meanwhile, Yumi recovered from the shock. “Right, Darby had nothing to do with Sanders. Why did you br
Old Master Darby glanced at the hall. The Darby members were lying on the floor, moaning in pain. Blood splashed across the floor, and a few men even seemed to have died. “Call the medics! Take note of the injured numbers,” Old Master Darby ordered, panting breathlessly. Drake, who was by his side, called out for the injured to be taken care of. Feelings of resentment and hatred filled the entire mansion.Yumi’s lips were still bleeding, and the slap mark on her face was burning red. “Grandpa, why didn’t you fight back just now?” she lashed out, still feeling the burning pain on her face as her eyes were filled with hatred. Old Master Darby had been cultivating for five years, and he was currently a Level 3 Master General. If he had fought back just now, this would not have happened. He stayed silent as his face darkened.Yumi wanted to continue, but Florian came from the corner he was hiding and cut her short, “Shut up! You saw what happened just now with your own eyes!
