Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 15

Clad in a sheath dress, Elsa stood at the entrance of Platinum Corporation. Not only was she charming and alluring, but many paparazzi also took pictures of her and assumed that she was a new rising star.

Even the security guard thought Elsa was a celebrity and were cautious not to stop her. She went all the way up to the President's office, chancing upon Pearl walking out when she was just about to knock on the door and enter.

Pearl was going to pour tea for Darryl at that time. The moment she opened the door and saw Elsa, she immediately ejected the latter from the building after knowing that she was sent by the Lyndon family.

Was there anyone who did not know who Elsa was? A s a renowned beauty in Donghai City, she had many suitors and always rejected them. On that day, however, she was the one who experienced rejection, and she felt lingering displeasure.

The old lady was beyond anxious when she learned of what happened. 1

The next day, at the Lyndon family villa. 1

It was Grandmother Lyndon's birthday and the atmosphere was lively in the villa.

Family members rushed back regardless of where they were and news of Grandmother Lyndon's 70th birthday also made its rounds throughout Donghai City.

It was only natural to invite plenty of people to her 70th birthday. Although the Lyndon family was a second-rate family, there were still quite a number of people who were invited to the birthday banquet.

A fleet of cars was seen parked outside the Lyndon family villa.

In front of a Land Rover stood Lily and Samantha, who were both looking impatiently at their watches.

Very soon, they saw an electric bike driving over slowly. Once the vehicle stopped, Darryl hurried over. 1

"There was a traffic jam. It was a bad traffic jam," Darryl explained breathlessly. 1

'Damn it!' Pearl was supposed to drive him there, but the traffic was far too congested! After being stuck for more than an hour on the viaduct, he promptly took out the electric bike from the trunk and rode it over as the banquet was about to start soon.

As it were, the Lyndons were a prominent family, prompting many guests to look over and begin laughing when they saw someone riding an electric bike.

"Look, isn't that Darryl? The Lyndons’ live-in son-inlaw."

"You bet it's him! Haha!" "Such a prick. He’s lucky to get married to a beauty like Lily!"

"Haha, you don't know anything. I heard that this kid had been sleeping on the floor even though he lived with Lily for three years. Haha!" 1

Several juniors from the White family gathered together to gossip. The Whites and the Lyndons have maintained good relations for generations and were linked through several marriages. They thus had intimate knowledge of the Lyndon family. 1

Lily felt a little embarrassed after hearing those loud discussions. She said to Darryl, "Could you park the bike a bit farther next time? Didn't you notice that there are plenty of guests here?"

"Oh."

Darryl nodded indifferently.

Samantha was infuriated to see his attitude. It was such an important day, yet he still wore some street stall clothes? How could he be so shameless?

"Have you prepared Grandma's present?" Lily asked in a low voice.

"Yes." Darryl chuckled and took out a very shabby-looking wooden box.

"You!" Lily stomped after seeing the box. "What kind of gift is this? It’s Granny's seventieth birthday today.

You can't just give her some junk!"

"It’s not junk," Darryl responded succinctly.

Not junk? That box was practically broken. Unable to hold it any longer, Samantha pointed at Darryl to curse at him, only to be interrupted by a voice.

"Calling all the Lyndon family children to wish Grandma a happy birthday!"

As soon as the person finished their words, hundreds o f people from the Lyndon family swarmed into the villa.

Samantha glared at Darryl. She suppressed her intention of scolding him and hurried in.

At that moment, the guests were already seated inside the villa. 1

The old lady was dressed in a very festive manner. She sat on the main seat and looked incredibly jubilant.

"President Sohn of the Skybrook Group, please come forward and offer your birthday wishes!" The host held a microphone and called out.

A middle-aged man walked up. He was Albert Sohn, who was worth hundreds of millions and had a very good relationship with the old lady.

He was followed by his female secretary, who held a big box in her hand.

"Haha, may you have a blessed birthday and a long life, Grandma Lyndon!" Albert laughed and opened the box.

Gasps were heard from all around!

It was a Cloisonne from the Qing Dynasty!

Cloisonne, also known as cloisonne enamel, possessed a noble history. The vase in front of her looked like it was from the Qianlong period. At first glance, it appeared to be a premium item with a value that was probably no less than one million! 1
