The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 13

"Valentine's Day is coming soon, Lily. It would be such a blessing to receive a set of Poesia Eleganza’s Crown line cosmetics," Phoebe said to Lily.

"You? Keep on dreaming," Lily said with a smile.

At present, Poesia Eleganza’s Crown line had an exceptionally high price and was limited to only 520 sets, which were probably all sold out. Those who could buy them were big families who had ample connections. Smaller families like the Lyndons had zero chance of obtaining them.

"Alright, enough," Lily giggled. "Let’s go and buy a couple of clothes. Granny’s birthday is coming soon. We have to dress nicely for the celebration."

Phoebe nodded, then walked into a store arm in arm with Lily.

The next day, at Platinum Corporation.

Darryl sat in the general manager's office and got up from the sofa. It was two in the morning by the time they finished their drinking session the night before. He could not be bothered to go home, so he decided to just sleep at the company.

His cellphone vibrated, and he swiped open to see a message from his mother-in-law, Samantha.

‘So now you have learned not to come back home, haven’t you? If you don't want to stay at home, then don’t ever come back again.’

Less than five minutes after the text message was received, he received another from Lily.

‘Granny's birthday is the day after tomorrow. Buy a present for her and don't embarrass me too much.’

Darryl placed his phone away after reading the two messages and he soon heard a knock on his door.

A beautiful woman dressed in business attire walked in. It was his secretary, Pearl Hahn.

"President Darby, we’ve just signed the partnership contract with the Lyndon clan and they’ve already sent someone here," Pearl said. "They said that they’d like to take over Giselle’s image consultancy. William is already waiting outside."

"Tell him to scram." Darryl waved his hand and said, "Make it clear to the Lyndon family that the contract is canceled."

"Yes."

Pearl bowed and walked out of the room.

William was waiting anxiously outside the door. Lily was the one who sealed the deal, but Grandmother Lyndon had passed Lily’s efforts to him and even sent him to discuss with Platinum Corporation! ‘Haha!’

Rumor had it that Platinum Corporation’s newly signed Giselle was beautiful and had a stunningly sexy body. If Platinum Corporation agreed to let the Lyndons style Giselle’s image, they would certainly make a fortune. Success would mean he would get all the credit!

"Mister Lyndon." Pearl walked over in her high heels.

William looked at her from head to toe. It was not surprising that Platinum Corporation was a premier company for A-list celebrities. Even the President’s secretary was very pretty.

"Miss Hahn," William greeted as he walked over with a smile. "What did the president say? When can we start handling Giselle’s affairs?"

"Apologies, Mister Lyndon." Pearl flashed a smile. "Our president told you to scram. The contract that was signed earlier has also been canceled."

"What?!" William bellowed in shock. He was not in a position to show his displeasure regardless of how angry he was!

He could not afford to provoke Platinum Corporation! His lips curled up into a modest smile, though it looked uglier than if he were to cry. "Why?"

Pearl explained gently, "Our president stated that it was Lily who came and handled the negotiations. Platinum Corporation’s decision to cooperate with your company is solely out of respect for Lily. She has to be the one to show up and discuss any projects in the future. No one else will be entertained."

As soon as she finished speaking, several security guards immediately escorted William away.

At the Lyndon family villa.

The old lady sat in the chair, sipped a big mouthful of tea, and massaged her chest continuously.

"You… What did you say... " The old lady asked as she stared at William.

"Granny, Platinum Corporation stated that they wouldn’t cooperate with us anymore... " William explained with teary eyes and a runny nose. "They told me to scram... "

"Granny, why is Platinum Corporation being so unreasonable!" One of the Lyndon family’s damsels voiced her unhappiness.

"That’s right, Granny. Platinum Corporation has agreed to cooperate with us. The contract has been signed, and all of sudden they want to terminate it now? Isn't that a breach of contract? We can sue them!"

"Yes, Grandma! The contract clearly says that whoever breaches the terms will have to compensate twenty million in damages! Let's sue them!"
