The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 3

Meanwhile, at Neptunus Corporation.

Lily had just left the meeting room after finishing her meeting with the shareholders when she saw her female employees talking and laughing at their cellphones.

How dare they shrug their duties during working hours? Lily walked toward them intending to reprimand, but instead, she saw that they were watching a video, and in that video was none other than Darryl!

“My bike bro, don’t you worry. I’ll avenge you for this…”

In the video, Darryl was caressing his bike with a face full of sorrow.

“Haha, this guy is hilarious, who is it?”

“You don’t know? It’s Miss Lyndon’s husband.”

“What? Do you mean that piece of trash Darryl? So I’ve heard that she was married to a piece of trash…”

The ladies were happily gossiping away when one of them stood up and did a mimicry of Darryl. “I don’t suppose you girls know that earlier today when I just arrived at work, I heard Darryl said he was gonna buy The Worship of Crystal for Miss Lyndon!”

“Hahaha, that is such a huge joke!”

“Yeah, look at how uncouth he is, so distressed over his broken bike. The Worship of Crystal costs 30 million, he’ll have to work several lifetimes for that amount!”

Their discussion was in full swing when one of them turned around and noticed Lily looming over them. The expression on their faces changed in an instant.

“Sorry Miss Lyndon, we’ll get back to work…”

Lily bit her lip tightly, trying hard to put up with the humiliation! Even though she was the general manager, it was hard not to get red-faced in this situation. She did not go out for lunch, but instead locked herself in her office, unable to help herself but to get teary-eyed.

Meanwhile, Darryl was walking home while humming a tune. He had to attend his high school reunion in a moment so he went back to change.

Initially, Darryl was in a good mood, but as he entered the house, he was greeted by the sight of Samantha sitting cross-legged on the sofa, looking at him with cold eyes.

“Darryl, good timing to be back, get over here.”

Darryl had been living with the family for three years, and the fear he had for Samantha was extreme.

“Darryl, pack your stuff, you’re going to get a divorce tomorrow and move out of here,” said Samantha coldly.

“But ma’am... My love for Lily is sincere…” said Darryl with his head lowered. After three years of company, it was certain that he would develop feelings for Lily.

Samantha slammed the table upon hearing those words. She stood up and walked up next to Darryl. “You love my daughter? What right do you have to love her? I’ve put up with you for three years, what else can you do besides household chores? How are you fit for my daughter? Do you know that numerous men are vying to be with my daughter? Ashton Adagio just called and said as long as I grant him my daughter, he’ll immediately give a dowry of 20 million bucks.”

20-million dowry? Darryl let out a faint smile. Ashton was a distant relative under the Darby clan, he was the son of an aunt. All the funds for Ashton’s company were sponsored by the Darbys. Darryl had already called his clan beforehand, and within 24 hours, Ashton Adagio would be left with nothing. How would he find that 20 million?

“Ma’am, I won’t leave. I’ll agree to the divorce, but only if Lily says it to me in person.” Darryl finished his words, turned around, and left the house.

“How dare you! Come back here right now!” Samantha stomped her feet in anger and went after Darryl in her high heels, but he was too far gone.

In the evening, at Neptunus Corporation.

Lily had locked herself in her office for the entire day. That video of Darryl had gone viral around the company, making him a laughing stock.

Lily took a deep breath before slowly leaving her office. “Alright, you guys can leave now,” said Lily to her employees.

“Miss Lyndon, there’s a package for you.” The front desk receptionist carried a box over and handed it to Lily.

Upon seeing the box, the crowd let out a sound of astonishment! It... it cannot possibly be so luxurious? How can a mere delivery package be gilded?

“Wow, what delivery package is this?”

“Yeah Miss Lily, it’s my first time seeing a gilded delivery package!”

“Surely it must be a gift from someone, open it up and let’s see, Miss Lily.”
