A few ladies started to speculate, some said that Mister Darby was a middle-aged man with a slight stubble. Some said that Mister Darby was tall and handsome. Every possibility was speculated.
Finally, Grandmother Lyndon waved virtual-novel.net hand and halted the discussions. It was then Felix brought a few men in and glanced around, but there was no sight of Darryl.
“I’ll leave the birthday present here then, I’ll be going,” said Felix as virtual-novel.net bowed slightly.
Grandmother Lyndon felt uneasy and nodded virtual-novel.net head profusely, even returning a bow as a sign of respect.
After Felix left, his present was opened up. This time, it shocked them even more. It was a deed!
“Here’s to many years of birthdays and success. On your esteemed birthday, I present to you a special gift, Southernwood Villa, No. A88.”
Dead silence!
The whole hall was pin-drop silent. If a needle were to drop at that moment, it could be heard!
A villa as a birthday gift?!
It was not just an ordinary villa, it was a Southernwood Villa. It was located within Donghai City’s top community of villas! Within the Southern-wood Villa community, three villas were the most expensive, A66, A88, and A99. These three villas were sold for at least 10 million bucks each!
A88 was the most expensive amongst the three. It was located at the center of the community, with its private swimming pool, backyard, mini zoo, and mini aquarium. It was Grandmother Lyndon’s birthday, and Felix had gifted this villa!
Only one person did not have a shocked expression on virtual-novel.net face. This person was Lily.
Lily had a clear hatred for that piece of trash Darryl, but ever since virtual-novel.net left, virtual-novel.net found herself inexplicably thinking about him. She took out virtual-novel.net cellphone, and could not help but to send Darryl a text message.
[Lily: Where are you?]
Very soon, Darryl replied. [Darryl: Home, I’m packing up. Leaving tonight.]
Upon reading the reply, Lily felt an unexplainable feeling of unease in virtual-novel.net heart. Darryl was a piece of trash, virtual-novel.net should feel better if virtual-novel.net left.
Lily bit virtual-novel.net lip tightly, and strangely enough, texted a reply to him. [Lily: Wait for me, I’m coming back now.]
Maybe virtual-novel.net wanted to see virtual-novel.net for one last time?
After all, they were married for three years. Even if it were a dog, some feelings would develop, moreover a human?
“Mom, I’m going out for a while,” said Lily softly as She left the villa.
Everyone had yet to snap out of their shock. They were still dazed by Wayne and Felix’s gifts and did not notice that Lily had left. Only Ashton followed Lily out quickly.
Lily drove and stopped by the main entrance. Just as virtual-novel.net got out of the car, virtual-novel.net saw Ashton running toward her.
“Lilybud, why did you leave suddenly?” Ashton asked. “Granny is going to agree to our wedding after the banquet, let’s head back quickly…”
“You go on ahead,” said Lily as virtual-novel.net hastily walked toward the residential community.
“Lilybud!” Ashton shouted as virtual-novel.net grabbed Lily’s wrist suddenly. He had seen the contents of the message that Lily had sent Darryl!
“Are you going to meet that piece of trash?” Ashton took a deep breath, his eyes a little red. “What good is that piece of trash, since virtual-novel.net wants to leave then let virtual-novel.net leave! Why do you want to look for him? Come back with me!”
Ashton’s heart was anxious. He knew very well that Wang Xizhi’s Ping’an Tie that virtual-novel.net had given was a high-quality replica. Grandmother Lyndon would engage a professional appraiser to evaluate the scroll after the banquet is over, and when that happens, wouldn’t the truth be revealed?
Now that Ashton was left with nothing, all virtual-novel.net wanted was to sleep with this goddess once. As long as Grandmother Lyndon agreed to the marriage, virtual-novel.net can then justify having Lily over to his house without any security camera monitoring! It was that moment when Ashton planned to do something with Lily’s drink.
Wouldn’t then the goddess be at his mercy?
On that thought, Ashton touched his pocket where virtual-novel.net kept a packet of sedative powder. The powder would dissolve instantly in water, just one sip was enough to render a person feeling weak.
“Stop pulling me,” said Lily softly. “Ashton, I know you treat me well, but I want to see virtual-novel.net one last time.”
“No..!” Ashton exclaimed. “Let’s quickly head back, see if Granny agrees to our marriage.”
The two of them were arguing when a Land Rover stopped near them. Samantha stepped out of the car in virtual-novel.net high heels.
“Ashton, Lilybud, what are you guys doing?” asked Samantha hurriedly. “Come back quickly, Granny is
about to announce your marriage in a bit.”
“I want to meet Darryl one last time, I’m not going back! I’m not going back no matter what you say!” Lily answered as virtual-novel.net bit virtual-novel.net lip tightly.
Ashton’s gaze darted back and forth between Samantha and Lily and virtual-novel.net had a wicked -glee in his eyes.
“Auntie, let me get you something to drink,” Ashton offered.
Ashton went to a milk tea shop and bought two cups of milk tea, which virtual-novel.net secretly placed the sedative powder into both cups.
Samantha was dragging Lily back when virtual-novel.net saw Ashton approaching them with two cups of milk tea, and smiled upon that sight.
The weather was hot, and they both drank the tea offered. Samantha laughed saying, “Lilybud, go back quickly and await Granny’s announcement of your marriage. Look at Ashton, how caring of virtual-novel.net to get us milk teas during such hot weather.”
As virtual-novel.net was finishing virtual-novel.net words, Samantha felt virtual-novel.net body weakening, as if virtual-novel.net could not keep herself balanced. Lily felt the same way, virtual-novel.net hands shivered, and virtual-novel.net dropped virtual-novel.net cup of milk tea.
