Darryl was unperturbed by their mockery. “Miss Newman, I’m serious. Please, tell me how much would you sell this for? I need it to save a life!” he said sincerely. It had been two hours, and Darryl did not know how Dax was doing or if his wound was worsening. “To save a life? Who’s life?” Circe frowned. Darryl came here covered in sweat, and he did not mind Evelyn slapping him earlier. It seemed that he was in a panic. “Dax,” Darryl answered. ‘Dax Sanders?’ Circe thought. Darryl did not seem like he was joking. Circe put down her wine glass and handed him the necklace right away. “If so, take this with you. Save him first; then we’ll talk about the money later.” A man’s life was at stake! Of course, she had to save him. Darryl was overwhelmed with excitement as he rushed forward to receive the necklace. However, Evelyn leaned forward and took the Heart of the Ocean away from Circe. “You!” Darryl stared at her in disbelief. “Give it to me. I really need it
‘Why was she so difficult!?’ Darryl thought furiously. He would do anything to save Dax’s life. Without hesitation, he bowed in front of Evelyn and said sincerely, “Miss Evelyn, I’m begging you. Please give me the Heart of Ocean.” Evelyn looked at him and shook her head with a smile. “Nope, that wasn’t sincere enough.” Darryl was speechless. ‘Damn it, why don’t I just dig out my heart and give it to her to show my sincerity!?’ As he was thinking, he heard Evelyn demand, “Kneel and beg me.” Darryl’s face darkened while the ladies could not help laughing out loud. All of them sat on chairs with coffees in their hands, anticipating the unfolding event. Circe wanted to say something, but she could not under the peer pressure. Darryl took a deep breath. He felt a flame igniting in his heart, and his body trembling with anger. A man only kneels to God and his parents. He clenched his fists and wanted to lash out, but he could not. He had no choice; without the Heart of Ocean, Da
“Hurry!” Evelyn scoffed, her fingers ready to break the necklace. Meanwhile, Circe could not stand it anymore.“Evelyn, that’s enough,” she said softly. Although Darryl did turn her down twice and ran away from the villa, perhaps he really did have his reasons. Evelyn was determined. She shook her head, “Circe, don’t feel bad for men like him.” Evelyn smiled as she watched Darryl try so hard to contain his anger. “What now? Do you want to fight me? I’ll give you three seconds to wash my feet, or you’ll never see the Heart of the Ocean ever again.” “Three!” She called out in a cold tone. “Two!” Darryl remained silent, his body trembling as he fought hard to restrain his anger. If he did not give in, Dax’s life would be ruined. If Dax died because of this, he would spend the rest of his life living with guilt. Darryl gritted his teeth and walked toward Evelyn. Under the gaze of all the ladies, he knelt in front of Evelyn and gently took off her shoes. Her feet were fair
It was four o’clock in the morning when it began to drizzle, and Darryl gave in to sleep again. This time, he dreamt on and off throughout, and he vaguely felt someone kicking his leg. He suddenly woke up and looked up to see Dax standing by the door staring down at him with a huge grin on his face. “Darryl? Are you trying to make me laugh at you being my guard? Haha!” Dax laughed, rocking back and forth. In this instant, Darryl’s eyes watered as he tried his best to hold back his tears. ‘He was alive. Dax was alive!’ Darryl thought. He jumped up right away and hugged Dax so tightly in his arms. “Damn it. Why are you hugging me!” Dax said with a look of disgust, but he could not fight back the grin on his face. He punched Darryl’s chest and laughed, “Right, I’m alive! Haha! I’m still alive! Hahaha!” Darryl started laughing too. The two men looked at each other without speaking as they kept on laughing. Nobody would understand the bond between them. Its beauty was bey
Yes, Abbess Mother Serendipity was Megan’s Master. Technically, her second Master.Five years ago, Megan joined the Emei sect. As Emei’s newest generation of Senior Sister, Megan initially had the Head of the Sect as her Master.However, in recent years, the Head had completely shut off to concentrate on cultivating and did not have time to train the disciples.Abbess Mother Serendipity had been the one training Megan, teaching her about cultivation. Hence, Megan had a deep respect for her and treated Abbess Mother Serendipity as her own Master.When Darryl heard this, he was floored. He thought he misheard. “Who did you say was your master?” He frowned.Megan had not detected the hint of detest in his voice. “My master is Abbess Mother Serendipity, one of the Elders of the Emei sect,” she whispered, “She was stationed in Donghai City recently…”F*ck!At that, Darryl’s expression darkened. He was fuming with rage.Abbess Mother Serendipity. Those three words were especially agg
What was happening? What had happened?“Hubby, I’m here.” Lily approached Darryl anxiously.“Lily, what happened?” Darryl sighed with relief as he realized she was not injured.Lily was incredibly gorgeous in her skinny black jeans that flaunted her legs. She looked alluring in her high heels. Many men could not help but look at her.Lily hugged Darryl. “Hubby, my mother just called,” she cried, “She said she was in an accident, I rushed here but could not find her. I’m scared.”Samantha was hit by a car? Darryl patted Lily on the back, comforting her. “Don’t panic, it will be fine.” He scanned the surroundings as he hugged Lily, his heart shuddering.F*ck, the injured patients waiting around looked like they were in a car crash. Some were bleeding profusely, some had broken limbs. It was tragic.Lily was almost in tears as she held Darryl’s arms tightly. “Hubby, do you think mother would be fine?”Her father was still overseas. What if something happened to Samantha? “Don’
Darryl smiled but stayed silent. He was used to Samantha’s scoldings.Seeing how he ignored her, Samantha was even angrier. “How dare you laugh so shamelessly? I shouldn’t have let you marry my daughter! Look at the other sons-in-law; they are successful and wealthy. How about you? If you could earn at least ten thousand a month, I would not have had to sell the mansion!”Lily bit her lip. “Mother, stop.” She tried to defend Darryl.Samantha turned to Lily. “Lily, what is with you? Why do you love him so much? I don’t care, you will divorce him tomorrow.”It was because of him that she was in this situation now.Everyone looked at Darryl and shook their heads. They had all heard how Samantha had a useless son-in-law.Lily kept gnawing on her lip. She tried to change the subject. “Mother, how could you trust these financial schemes?”To get five hundred back within seven days with a mere ten thousand investment—it was clearly a scam.Darryl sighed. According to Samantha’s explan
”Do tell, what can you do?” Samantha glared at Darryl despicably.Darryl could not be bothered to argue with Samantha. He told Lily, “It’s fine. Since your mother believes in your ex-boyfriend, let her be.”“What ex-boyfriend?!” Lily was distressed as she said, “Hubby, Ray and I had nothing going on. He pursued me, but we were never together!”Darryl was unhappy. He wanted to see how great this Ray was; that his own mother-in-law still thought of him.Samantha took her phone out and made a call.Samantha smiled widely after the call was picked up shortly after. She softened her tone and said, “Hello, Ray? This is Auntie Samantha. Could you come to the hospital? I have a favor to ask of you. Alright, I will wait for you.”When she hung up, she looked at Eleanor smugly. “Just you wait and see, Ray will arrive shortly. As long as he agrees to help, we will get back our money!”“Are you for real?” The rest started to chime in.“If he really could get our money back, we’ll have to t
