Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel 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 be any problem if you just stay at home," she added. 2

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. 1

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.

"Mile-End Corporation? The one that specializes in foreign trading? That’s a huge corporation!"

"Exactly! I heard it’s going public soon. This is a large-scale corporation and has branches in many different cities. It’s very impressive to have become the chairman of such a corporation at your age!"
