Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 4

'Damn you, I just washed this set of clothes yesterday, and now you're saying it's dirty?' Darryl thought to himself. He was about to voice his opinion but before h e could do so, he was dragged away by Alex Armstrong.

The two were close friends back in high school. They had fought together and even ditched classes together. Alex might be the only one tonight that was not disgusted with Darryl.-

Dragging Darryl to a corner, Alex shook his head and said, "Bro, I'm telling you, a girl like Giselle isn’t the type for us to get hung up on. Aren't you asking to be ridiculed for simply sitting beside her?”

Darryl said nothing and merely chuckled. They wined and dined the whole night through, and the evening passed by quickly.

Giselle was a little tipsy, and under the crowd’s pressure, she picked up the microphone and sang while gently swaying her body. Her appearance was sensual and seductive, striking awe at the men around. Giselle was truly a beauty!

It was only at night when they decided to call it a day. The class teacher could not make it as she had something on at the last moment, so they agreed to have another gathering next Monday.

As they left, all the men were vying to send Giselle back. However, when they arrived at the entrance, she got on her own Porsche and left the scene, leaving them stupefied.

"Such a beauty," mumbled Alex at the side. "Darryl, no wonder you wanted to sit next to her. I wouldn't mind having my life shortened by ten years if it means I could spend only a night with her."

Darryl let out a cold laugh. 'So Giselle intends to go to Platinum Corporation tomorrow to have her contract signed? Excellent,’ thought Darryl, as he too had planned to go there to claim his title of President. His thoughts were cut short by the sudden ringing of his cellphone.

The crowd laughed upon hearing his ring tone. What era was it for somebody to still be using an old Nokia phone?

Darryl hastily answered the call upon seeing the number displayed. Before he could speak, the voice of his mother-in-law, Samantha, came from the other side. "Darryl, do you know that tonight is our clan's annual gathering? Do you want our entire family to wait for you? Get your ass back here immediately."

Darryl let out a wail, he had completely forgotten about the gathering!

He quickly got on his scooter in front of his classmates and sped away. Even though he was quite a considerable distance away, he could still hear the voices of his female classmates laughing at him.

A Land Rover was parked at the gate of a high-end residential community in Beihai City. A beautiful woman was standing in front of the car, looking at her phone impatiently.

"I'm back," said Darryl, struggling to catch his breath. H e stopped his scooter and ran toward Lily. He could see that she was wearing the Worship of Crystal on her delicate feet. It seemed that she really liked the gift as she put it on so fast.

However, Lily merely gave Darryl a cold glance. "I'm warning you, today is the Lyndon clan's annual gathering, you best keep your mouth shut and not embarrass me."

"Oh," acknowledged Darryl.

Darryl had barely gotten in the car when he heard another complaint.

"Darryl, don't you have a suit? Do you know how embarrassing it is to wear such bargained goods?" asked Samantha coldly

Samantha was wearing a short dress that accentuated her beauty. A touch of maturity combined with seductiveness, she was truly an elegant sight to behold.

Darryl shrugged his shoulders without saying anything.

Samantha flew into a rage upon seeing Darryl's indifferent behavior. "Are you deaf or dumb? Look at how worthless you are, having you marry my daughter has cursed our family for eight generations."

"Mom, don't be mad," said Lily gently while driving.

"How can I not be mad?!" said Samantha as she pointed at Darryl. "I’m ordering you, after tonight’s gathering, immediately go to the marriage registry and settle your divorce. Stop hanging around my house, do you understand me?"

Darryl sat there speechless.

At that moment, over a hundred cars were parked outside the Lyndon clan's villa, and without exception, all of them were luxurious cars.

When Lily and her family arrived, the hall was already filled with people. Several people went up to greet Lily upon her arrival.

During such occasions, Darryl was treated as if he was invisible, no one cared to acknowledge him. However, he did not mind that, for he was only here to join in the fun. Once the food arrived, he was ready to dig in a s much as he could, i

However, some people enjoy causing trouble when there is none, such as William Lyndon. He appeared to have something against Darryl, every time they meet, h e would hurl a couple of insults at Darryl.
