Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 221

The gala was quite dull; it was just an event where celebrities performed on stage.

Darryl walked around the venue, but he did not see Giselle and Lana. He figured they were backstage to wait for their turn to get on stage for their performances.

He decided not to stay for them; he wanted to go home, take a shower, and go to sleep.

He left the Donghai Satellite Television Building and lit a cigarette near the entrance. It was almost 9 pm; the lights flickered as people walked around the streets. 1

Darryl was about to call a taxi when he noticed two men acting suspiciously beside a luxurious MPV.

One of them was skinnier than the other, and they placed a bag behind the MPV's trunk before they hid behind a utility pole.

'What are those two doing?' Darryl smoked his cigarette as he watched with interest.

A pretty woman in a white dress walked by a few moments later. She looked like a college student.

She had the keys in her hand, and she got up to the MPV. She ignited its engine and reversed to get out of the parking. 1

*Thump*

The two men, who hid near the utility pole, immediately appeared when the car knocked over the bag on the ground.

"Hey, do you know how to drive? Can't you see that there's something behind your car? Come out!" The fat man knocked on the car window repeatedly with a stern expression as he urged the woman to get out of the vehicle.

The skinny man crouched as he opened the luggage with a pained expression. "My antique vase! I just purchased it for two million bucks! It's broken!"

The luggage was filled with vase shards and pieces.

'How funny! Con men these days are pretty skilled.' Darryl continued to watch with enthusiasm.

The fat man's shout attracted passersby, and they had gathered around the incident.

The young woman was in a daze. She got out of the car and stared at the vase pieces; she looked stupefied.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Her face paled as she was in shock. The fat man mentioned that the antique vase was worth two million bucks. How could she afford to compensate them?
