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
“Ray, you’re too kind. How much did this cost?” Samantha was elated.“Auntie Samantha, it’s nothing,” Ray assured as he waved, “it wasn’t even close to a hundred thousand. It suits you!”Samantha was enthralled to hear that. She liked Ray even more now.Ray turned to Lily and said, “I haven’t seen you in a while.”Lily nodded in acknowledgment.“You’ve gotten even more gorgeous since the last I saw you,” Ray said chivalrously. He turned to Darryl with a hint of disgust in his eyes and added, “You must be the infamous Darryl Darby.”In Donghai City, everyone knew that the beautiful Lily Lyndon married a useless loser.Samantha pulled Ray aside as she scoffed, “Ray, don’t bother talking to this loser. Come, let me explain the current situation.” She explained everything to him.“Hubby, what should we do now?” Lily panicked as she whispered to Darryl.She understood Samantha well. If Ray managed to get their money back, Samantha would definitely force Lily to leave Darryl.“Let
In the Metrojade Private Club’s Executive Suite, Felix Blakely and Cyrus Carney were on cloud nine.Two gorgeous, sexy women were giving them a massage.Felix was delighted that his follower Cyrus made hundreds of millions through his new finance corporation. Cyrus wanted to treat Felix to a relaxing massage session.“Felix, now that I’m rich, I should thank you the most!” Cyrus laughed. He beckoned a lady over with a mutton fat jade in her hands.Cyrus raised his eyebrows. “I heard that you are into jades,” he explained, “now that I’ve earned some money, I bought this mutton fat jade for you.”“That’s great!” Felix nodded. His follower knew how to please him. All those years of looking after him did not go to waste.Felix took the jade over when his phone rang.‘F*ck, Darryl Darby?’Felix sat up rigidly as he answered the call. If Brother Darryl called, it must have been an urgent matter.“Felix,” Darryl growled, “I realized you’ve gotten bold. Your follower has even started
Lily felt extremely awkward since Ray used to be headstrong in his pursuit of her courtship. Although she had not spoken to him in ages, he really did her a huge favor this time.“Thank you, Ray,” Lily whispered.“Yes, thank you, Ray!” Samantha chimed in. Glaring at Darryl, she spat, “If I were to rely on my useless son-in-law, I wouldn’t be able to get my money back. Ray, are you free tonight? Join us for dinner!”“That sounds good!” Ray nodded. He was elated as he assured, “Auntie Samantha, if you need any help in the future, just call me!”He then kicked Cyrus. “F*cker, if you dare scam more people out of their money, I’ll make your life a living hell! F*ck off!”Cyrus did not dare to utter a word as he knelt on the floor. After all, he was Brother D’s friend. He nodded furiously, “Yes, yes! I promise I won’t do it again! I’ll leave now!”He was about to stand up and leave when his phone rang. It was Felix. He picked up the phone with his trembling hands as he mumbled, “Felix,
“Brother D, I am so sorry! I did not know she was your mother-in-law! If I knew, I would not have dared!” Cyrus howled, his forehead bleeding from slamming onto the floor as he bowed.In an instant, everyone was floored! What was happening? The ‘Brother D’ that Cyrus mentioned turned out to be the live-in son-in-law? Samantha was stunned as well, barely able to stand. She looked at Darryl in admiration. Cyrus returned their money because he feared Darryl!“Brother D, please forgive me. You must forgive me!” Cyrus was in tears. He hugged Darryl’s leg and begged, “If you’re unhappy, I will give them another thirty million as an apology! Please forgive me…”The crowd gasped in surprise! They were delighted.Darryl waved his hand in dismissal. He replied, “It’s fine. Go and tell Felix the next time he or any of his followers decide to do anything illegal, they’d better watch out.”“Yes, yes, thank you, Brother D!” Cyrus bowed two more times before he ran off.The crowd was in a
Samantha was still dressed in the same clothes she wore during the day. Darryl gulped. He could not help but give Samantha another look or two. She maintained her figure and youthfulness. If she stood next to Lily, they looked more like sisters rather than a mother-daughter duo.Samantha hushed Darryl with a finger to her lips. “Don’t turn on the lights. Lily is asleep, I don’t want to wake her up.”What? Keep the lights off? Why was she so mysterious?In another mansion by the Donghai City seaside, an old man was sitting on a couch. It was Zion Featherstone, Evelyn’s grandfather. He previously consumed an ineffective Godly pill and fainted.“Grandpa, help me take a look—is this Yang pill genuine?” Evelyn impatiently rushed into the living room and handed the pill to her grandfather.Zion took the pill. He scrutinized it and nodded. “This is the real thing.”He read about the Yang pill in an old manual. The manual described the pill exactly as what he saw. At that, Evelyn let out
They were people of high social status, including Brandon Guy, Abby Guy, Abbess Mother Serendipity, and each family’s elders.“Dad…”Drake Darby knelt by the bed, sobbing. He held Old Master Darby’s hand. He choked, “Dad, wake up…”Drake was hit hard by his father’s passing. The expressions of everyone around him were equally somber.Drake turned to Florian behind him and asked, “What happened? Wasn’t he still in good condition earlier when we left the hospital? Why did he pass away suddenly?”All eyes were on Florian Darby.He panicked and had a guilty conscience. He struggled to find the words to say as he stuttered, “I...I don’t know. He just...” Yumi stood up and shrieked in anguish. “It was Darryl! He was the one that killed our grandfather! When you left, Old Master Darby clutched his heart, wheezing while muttering how much of a disappointment Darryl was! How Darryl was greedy, and that he committed incest!”Yumi acted out the scene as if it happened. She clutched her h
