“Lady Chang Er…”
Ashley snapped back to her senses. She bit her lips and said gently, “Since you say so, naturally, we will believe you.”
Then, she looked at Darryl reluctantly. “Darryl, consider yourself lucky today. But, you have to remember what you said. If you don’t return the Dragon Essence to us, we will hunt you down.”
Tiffany felt anxious. She stomped her feet, “Ashley—”
Before she could finish his sentence, Ashley interrupted her. “We will do it for Lady Chang Er.”
Ashley was extremely reluctant to let Darryl go.
However, she had no choice. The woman next to him was the famous Lady Chang Er; she was renowned for her beauty for thousands of years. Everyone in the Nine Mainland knew about her.
Even though the Dragon Essence was the Box family’s heirloom, it would not be worth it to offend Lady Chang Er for that.
Tiffany pouted and retreated to the side.
Woo…
Everyone felt emotional. It was no wonder she was Lady Chang Er—she was so respectable that she could ease a tense situation just with a few words.
Darryl chuckled; he was extremely relieved. He turned to the Box sisters and said, “Ladies, you are too generous. Thank you, and we’ll see each other soon.”
Then, Darryl strode off and headed downstairs.
The Box sisters were furious when they saw his proud expression, yet they could do nothing about it. After all, Chang Er was still there.
Chang Er was extremely speechless too, but she quickly followed suit.
“Oh!”
Darryl turned to look at Chang Er when they reached the bottom of the stairs and smiled at her. “Thank you for your help. Otherwise, it will not be easy to handle those two sisters.”
Darryl seemed nonchalant when he said that, but he was extremely grateful.
After all, if Chang Er did not interfere in that situation, he did not know what he would do about it.
“Stop smiling.” Chang Er’s face was stern. She replied curtly, “This is a one-time thing. Don’t expect me to help you next time.”
Chang Er told him the truth.
