The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 19

As Yvonne was about to continue the conversation with Darryl, Grandmother Lyndon smiled and walked toward Lily while holding a wine glass.

Everyone stopped eating when they saw the old lady walking over.

"Lilybud, Granny wants to ask you something," the old lady spoke slowly.

"Ask away, Granny," Lily said.

Grandmother Lyndon nodded. "Lilybud, since it’s Granny's birthday today, can you promise me to go and negotiate with Platinum Corporation? We’ll stand to earn a lot if they assign us the task of managing Giselle’s styling. Can you agree to that?"

"This..."

Lily did not know what to think, but she secretly peeked at Darryl.

Her earlier efforts in securing the cooperation with Platinum Corporation was credited to William, which had upset her tremendously.

Darryl had instructed her not to agree to Grandmother Lyndon’s request.

Sure enough, she saw Darryl shaking his head.

Lily gritted her teeth. If she were to listen to the loser, she would have to reject the old lady in front of so many people...

"Yes, Mom." Samantha stood up all of a sudden. "Leave this to Lilybud. She’ll live up to your expectations!"

"Good!" The old woman smiled.

At that moment, no one expected Darryl, who had been sitting quietly by the side, to stand up suddenly.

"Not a chance."

His cold words sounded extremely harsh!

"Lily was the one who first negotiated the contract, but her efforts had been robbed by William," Darryl said coldly. "My wife only comes to mind now that Platinum Corporation doesn't recognize William, right?"

"You... What did you say?" The old lady pointed at Darryl and was extremely furious.

Members of the Lyndon family looked at Darryl as if they were looking at a mentally deranged individual.

Had he gone mad? Did he have any idea where he stood in the Lyndon family? He was nothing more than a live-in son-in-law! Even the Lyndon family’s dog had a better life than him!

"I’ve tolerated you for a long time!" William finally could not take it anymore and jumped out all of a sudden. "What the hell are you doing? Who are you to call the shots for Lily? Are you here to cause trouble during Granny's birthday? You dress like crap, gave Granny a sh*tty fan, and now you’re trying to interfere with our family matters? I’ll f*cking kill you!"

William struck a fierce punch almost immediately after finishing his words!

He seemed to have put in all his strength in the punch! William was deeply cherished by Grandmother Lyndon and had been pampered since young. Such an upbringing had spoiled him rotten to have a huge temper. When he was in school, he was always fighting and was the school’s number one bully. Although he is now an adult and delved into the business world, he was still renowned as someone who could hold out his own and know many of the big bosses in society.

"Darryl is toast. He’s going to leave here on a stretcher."

"Serves him right! No one’s gonna stop him from getting beaten up."

Murmurs were heard and everyone tried hard not to laugh as they eagerly watched the excitement unfold.

That punch could kill a bear.

Darryl's pupils contracted sharply. Rather than shirking at the oncoming punch, he remained motionless!

"Quick, run!" Lily did not expect herself to advise that loser.

She felt uncomfortable to see him being beaten up after living together for three years...

"Trying to fight even though that’s all you got?" Darryl said coldly.

‘William’s fighting style was like a street gangster. The punch might be packed full of power, but he could dream on if he thought that he could hurt me with it.’

Darryl smirked slightly. The Darby family’s children were required to keep themselves fit since young. Darryl had studied Wing Chun at the age of seven. Li Shan, who was a 23rd generation practitioner of Wing Chun, had taught Darryl for an entire year.

Although he dared not claim that he could fight against ten people, dealing with two or three ordinary brutes was not a problem!

Thud!

Darryl raised his arm to block, but William's fist struck directly past it! In that split second, however, William suddenly howled out loud!

"Aghh!"

Feeling as though he had just struck an iron plate, he thought that he had broken his arm and was left without any energy. He dropped to the ground and started rolling about in pain.

What?!

Everyone’s mind went blank! None of them saw how William fell!

Did Darryl, a person who had done only housework for three long years, have that kind of skill? Who would have known?!

"Just you wait, Darryl. Just you f*cking wait!" William shouted in despair. He took out his cellphone, dialed a number, and shouted into it, "Bro, bring two cars of people here. Now, now! Bring your men!"

After ending the call, William gritted his teeth, stood up, and pointed at Darryl. "Don't you dare run away, wait right here! I’ll kill you today!"
