Lily also heard a young woman's voice coming from the ward. Her voice was sweet. ‘Why is there another woman in there? Who is she to Darryl?’ with the thought ringing in her head, Lily seemed upset. Through the window, one could see Daniel Darby with bandages all over his body and visible bloodstains on it. Pipes connected his body to a machine, and beside the bed were a few bags of blood. It seemed horrible. He was lucky to have survived. Yesterday, Daniel thought he was dying. No matter how strong the body was, it was impossible to come out alive after experiencing such cruel torture! Luna sat, smiling beside the bed. When he was admitted to the hospital, Daniel was covered in blood, and his chances of living were slim. Luckily, Darryl had a good relationship with Director Shelly Sullivan. If it were not for Shelly, his father might have died. Today, Shelly had finished her shift, and she did not have her white coat on. She wore a dress as she told Daniel jokes beside his bed
The atmosphere in the room was strange and uneasy. Darryl stood by the side, his face darkening. He thought they came over to visit his parents, but instead, they came here for trouble! In the past three years, they have never visited his parents, and Samantha decided to say something so disturbing and harsh on their first meeting. After hearing what Samantha said, Lily did not stop her. Instead, she remained silent with her face devoid of emotion.“Darryl, what are you staring at? What now? Do you think both of us came here to make a scene?” Samantha scowled. “I didn’t say that. You said it yourself,” Darryl chuckled coldly. They were obviously making a scene and being unreasonable. This enraged Samantha further. “Darryl, what’s this attitude of yours? You’re cheating behind Lily’s back, and you’re still trying to talk your way out?” she yelled. Darryl was not bothered to answer her.“Oh, Samantha, please calm down. You really have mistaken the situation,” Daniel spoke out
Since it was a misunderstanding, Darryl was not concerned about the Lyndon’s seeing him have dinner with Shelly. Shelly had helped his father a lot since he was admitted to the hospital. Today, she had even been scolded by Samantha for no reason, so Darryl felt he had to treat her to a meal. “Brother Darryl, are you sure this is a good idea?” Shelly said, biting her lips, slightly embarrassed. Earlier, Samantha had come looking for trouble. If Shelly went out for dinner with Darryl, the Lyndons might take it the wrong way. Darryl did not seem concerned. “What’s there to be afraid of? I just want to thank you for taking care of my parents for the past few days.” As he said, he looked at Shelly with an appreciative look. One would be lying to deny that Shelly had a kind of mature beauty in her, especially when she blushed, which made her very attractive. Without further hesitation, Shelly accepted the invitation to dinner. Lily and Samantha stomped out of the hospital, feeli
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. “L
Giselle has had no appointments even today, making it a significant loss for the company. This was strange since Giselle was popular with many fans, and it was impossible to have no one willing to sign her. Darryl felt something was up and wanted to figure it out. “Darryl, I’m sorry. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have to come here with your motorbike,” Shelly apologized. Until now, Shelly still had no idea how she ended up crashing into the signpost. “Don’t worry. I used to come here with my motorbike anyway,” Darryl laughed, not minding at all, as he parked his motorbike in a parking lot not far away. Ring! After he parked the motorbike, his phone rang. It was a message from Yvonne Young. [Yvonne: Darryl, what have you been up to lately? Is your wound better now? You haven’t come to the Pearl Pavilion since the trip.] Darryl laughed at the thought of her, thinking he had not recovered from the gunshot. Just as he was about to reply to her, a loud ‘ping’ was heard.
Darryl laughed after hearing what Lana said. Back in high school, he was the most afraid of Lana out of all his teachers. She was very strict with him, and there was even a time Lana had slapped him when he got the worst score on a test. “Miss Lana, you were strict enough with me back in school,” Darryl could not help saying. “During the class reunion a few days ago, didn’t you see that all of your classmates are doing well in life? Giselle Lindt became a superstar, Dianne Jackson became the manager of Eleganza Corporation. Now, look at you. Don’t you feel sorry for yourself?” Lana said, shaking her head. Meanwhile, the man beside Lana broke into laughter, “You’re Darryl? Haha! I haven’t seen you in a few years. You’ve changed!” Darryl thought this man looked familiar when he got out of the car. Now he finally realized who he was. His name was Markus Orian, and back in the day, he was Darryl’s PE teacher. He had been chasing Lana since then. Darryl used to prank Markus in
Darryl seemed unfazed. “I wonder who should be ashamed of himself?” “What are you trying to say!?” Markus yelled as he clenched his fist and threatened to punch Darryl. He was a PE teacher, tall and well-built. Beating this kid was nothing. Right at that moment, Lana stopped him. “Markus, don’t be impulsive!”Although Lana was helping Darryl, she was frustrated with him too. He was just as rebellious as he was back in high school. A thought suddenly occurred to her that Darryl had parked his motorbike here. “Darryl, what are you doing here? Do you work at Platinum Corporation?” Lana asked. Situated in a high-end area, the Platinum Corporation was only visited by the rich and wealthy. Judging by how Darryl dressed, he seemed to be a staff of the lowest ranking. “Darryl, if you don’t pay me ten thousand dollars today, don’t you try to get away.” Markus scowled, thinking that Darryl was asking for trouble. He was going to punch him hard. Darryl gave him a faint smile, un
However, Pearl Hahn stopped abruptly in front of Darryl and greeted him with a ninety-degree bow. “President Darryl, I’m very sorry. I can reassure you that this won’t happen again!” Pearl said nervously as cold sweats dripped off her forehead. She was nervous and anxious. As a secretary, she was in charge of all the small matters in the corporation, including the car park. Before, when Giselle came for an interview, a similar incident happened. Today Lana came for an interview and the same thing happened again! No matter how nice Darryl might seem, it would not be surprising if he gets mad. ‘Huh? President? President Hahn called Darryl, President?’ the crowd thought. Everyone was shocked. Even the few staff watching the whole event were overtaken by fear and shock. Whenever Darryl dropped by the corporation, he usually went straight to his office, so not many people recognized him. Suddenly, there was pin-drop silence at the scene. Everyone had their mouth and eyes wide
