“Might I ask if Mister Darby is here?” Wayne repeated his question, seeing that no one spoke.
Everyone still shook their heads.
It had to be known that the man standing at the door was Wayne Woodall. The ‘Mister Darby’ that he mentioned, how could it possibly be Darryl that piece of trash?
Wayne had a bewildered look on his face too. It could not be a mistake, he had people do a proper inquiry, the second young master was supposed to be at the Lyndon residence! Today was the second young master’s birthday, and he came here in person specifically to hand him his present. Moreover, when he arrived at the Lyndon residence, he realized that someone was indeed celebrating their birthday.
Wayne gulped and handed over the box in his hands. “Since Mister Darby isn’t here, I shall depart. This is a birthday gift, I’ll leave it here.”
Wayne then left with his men.
Just as he left, the crowd could not wait any longer and surrounded the birthday gift he left behind. Grandmother Lyndon motioned for the box to be opened.
After all, Wayne Woodall was a prominent man in Donghai City. Everyone could see that he had an imposing presence, being followed by over ten men and several Rolls-Royce. He came here specifically to give Grandmother Lyndon a birthday present! The old lady’s reputation was surely favorable?!
Numerous guests were filled with envy.
Indeed, who in Donghai City did not want to have a good relationship with Wayne? He was the boss of the Oriental Pearl Hotel, the most luxurious hotel in Donghai City. Prominent clans always organize their annual gatherings and whatnot at the Oriental Pearl. After all, that place has an honorable reputation. As such, it was many people’s wish to be friends with Wayne.
However, Wayne has an eccentric personality. He hardly made friends, and never attended people’s birthday celebrations!
Grandmother Lyndon’s connections were truly great!
Even though Grandmother Lyndon felt perplexed, she still had a smile on her face.
Why would Wayne give her a birthday gift? She had no connections to him. However, she was the only one celebrating her birthday here, if it was not meant for her, for whom would it be?
Stefan opened the box on Granny’s instruction. Immediately, there was dead silence as everybody held their breaths!
It was a fist-sized night-shining pearl! However this night-shining pearl... Seemed to be different compared to the one gifted by William?
Stefan the trustworthy lad went to take out the night-shining pearl that William gifted and placed both pearls side by side. It was then that the crowd could see the difference!
The curtains were opened and the sun shone in. Under daylight, William’s night-shining pearl looked like an ordinary glass pearl without a hint of radiance.
However, the night-shining pearl from Wayne shone as bright as a mini sun even though it was daytime!
“This…”
Everyone was rendered speechless and stared unblinkingly at the pearls.
“Quick, close the curtains, turn off the lights!” Stefan ordered.
When there was not a sliver of light in the hall, the crowd could not hold it in any longer and let out a gasp of surprise!
It was only at this moment that everyone could see the glaring difference between the two pearls! Wayne’s pearl illuminated the house brightly as if it was daytime!
