"You ... " Lily frowned when Ashton talked about the marriage proposal. "Forget it, I’m not divorced yet."Although Darryl was a loser, he had worked hard in the past few years and fulfilled his housework duties. He received a telling-off every time he failed to do a good job, yet he never complained.Even a dog would have feelings, let alone a human.Darryl had recently loaned them five million and relieved the company of its woes. Aside from that, Darryl had to take out all the money he had saved over the years to avoid embarrassment when William suggested going Dutch in Oriental Pearl Hotel.Ashton looked at her affectionately. "Lilybud, am I inferior to Darryl in any way? He’s a loser! Don't you worry, I’ll prepare a big gift for Grandma's birthday and wish her a happy birthday! She’ll be delighted with the gift. I’ll propose marriage when the time comes and I’m sure that Grandma would not refuse."Lily casually sipped her coffee. The Lyndon family's rules were very strict, an

"Think carefully, Lily. Think about how much scorn and ridicule you had to face since marrying Darryl," Samantha said coldly. "We’ve provided him food and clothes during the three years of your marriage to him. At least he has the decency to repay the favor by lending us money to help with the company’s five million deficit. We’re even now and all I want is for you to leave that loser.""Mom... " Lily bit her lip."Also, Ashton called me and said that he’d attend your grandma’s birthday," Samantha continued. "He said he prepared an amazing gift that your grandma will love. You can and should be with him if grandma takes a liking to him."As she was talking, she saw a man coming over from some distance away. Dressed in a suit and leather shoes, he held a suitcase in his hand. The person was Wentworth, Lily's father.Lily and Samantha went over to welcome him. The family of three then chatted and laughed all the way out of the airport.Back home, Samantha cooked a sumptuous meal. Co

After more than half an hour later, almost everyone had presented their gifts to the old lady. Although not all gifts were expensive, they were far from cheap either, since most did not cost less than 200,000 bucks.It was worth mentioning that Elsa’s gift was also very noteworthy.They were a pair of jadeite bracelets, of which the quality could be described as flawless. Its beauty was beyond words.After seeing it, Grandmother Lyndon loved it so much and praised Elsa repeatedly. After receiving the jadeite bracelets, Grandmother Lyndon said to everyone, "By the way, Elsa is the eldest among our Lyndon family’s younger generation and is very caring. She doesn't have a boyfriend at the moment, so if any of you want to propose marriage, please be my guest. Of course, those who want to do so can’t be stubborn and obstreperous. After all, if you want to be her husband, you must be husband material."Elsa's complexion turned red from blushing at the old lady’s words. Many of the guests

"Trash?"Yvonne found that description amusing. If she was correct, that box was probably used by the palace during the Qing Dynasty’s Qianlong period. The box’s material was very valuable and highly likely to be Golden-thread Nanmu.While it was evident that the box was weather-beaten and looked particularly wrecked, its workmanship was exceedingly exquisite upon closer inspection!The box alone was worth hundreds of thousands, yet it was treated as rubbish?!Perhaps driven by occupational habit, Yvonne opened her bag and took out a pastel green magnifying glass.The Young family has been in the antique business for generations and often picked up valuable items on the roadside. It was imperative that a magnifying glass be carried along at all times."President Young, what are you doing?"The old lady could not resist saying, "This is just some rubbish. The servants will come right away and toss this into the bin."Yvonne kept quiet. As she analyzed the wooden box through her

It was Harry Crocker for goodness sake!Although Lily did not know him personally, his name was often mentioned in her friends’ conversations!It was said that Harry was a well-known figure in Donghai City, he was young, courageous, and especially ruthless. Most importantly, Samson was the man behind him!Samson was the owner of Moonlit River Bar, the most luxurious bar in Donghai City.Lily could see Harry’s fierce face as he held the machete. If he managed to get to Darryl, the latter would at least be half-crippled, if not dead."Hurry up and leave!" Lily was getting extremely anxious. She got up from her seat and was about to go over and pull Darryl, but was stopped by those around her.Lily could not even comprehend her thought process. While it was true that she looked down on Darryl, she nevertheless felt uncomfortable when she saw that Darryl was about to be beaten up.Those around her did not share the same views. They were more excited to see Darryl being beaten up to
