The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 74

Read The Ultimate Husband [by Skykissing wolf] Chapter 74 – Samantha’s smile stiffened as she became awkward and almost sullen.

However, Lily remained calm and confident. She stood up and introduced Darryl, “This is Darryl. We’ re married.”

“Oh… Samantha’s son-in-law, I see. He seems like a decent man. Where does he work?” Melanie said.

“At a company,” Darryl answered calmly. He knew what Melanie was getting at but was not bothered.

“What company? What position?” Melanie asked with a smile as if she genuinely cared.

Without flinching, Darryl answered, “Just a normal office boy.”

’Ah! Just an office boy!’ Melanie thought.

With that said, a faint disdain appeared on the faces around him. Watching their reactions, Melanie was pleased.

“An office boy is good enough. It’s okay if you don’ t work as well. Lily is so outstanding; there wouldn’t’ t be any problem if you just stay at home,” she added.

The sarcasm implied was obvious. Samantha’s face darkened.

’It was all Darryl’s fault. Was he not aware of his position? Did he think it was okay for him to tag along and embarrass the family?’ Samantha thought.

Lily, too, had an unnatural smile on her face, regretting bringing Daryl along.

At this instant, Melanie stood up with her glass and smiled. “Since we’re gathered here today, I’ve good news to announce. My daughter is getting married, and this is my son-in-law.”

A young man stood up beside Darryl and said with a respectful tone, “Hello everyone, I’m Jimmy, and I’ m currently the chairman of Mile-End Corporation.”

Wow!

Suddenly, the room was filled with astonishment.

Melanie, with the biggest smile on her face, nodded. “Good, good. It’s your wedding, you decide.”

“Honestly, to me, cars are nothing but means of transportation. They don’t have to be too fancy. But not going to lie, the more expensive the car, the more comfortable it gets,” Jimmy nodded, adding on with enthusiasm.

With that said, Jimmy turned to Darryl and asked, “Right, Darryl. What car do you drive?”

Before the gathering, Melanie instructed Jimmy to make a good impression on her behalf and a****k Samantha’s image. To please Melanie, Jimmy did not let any chance to belittle Darryl slip. Since Darryl was nothing but a son-in-law to a wealthy family, all Jimmy had to do was expose how incapable he was.

However, Darryl just kept quiet and merely nodded with a smile.

Of course, Jimmy did not let it go so easily. With a gentle and warm smile, he asked again, “I wonder what car you drive, Darryl?”

At this moment, all eyes focused on Darryl. They hid looks of disdain behind their smiles. Samantha’s face darkened instantly.

‘This useless person was embarrassing her completely. He rode a stupid motorbike. How was he supposed to answer that question?’ she thought.
