“Can’t you go any faster? I’ll be screwed if I’m late,” said Lily impatiently at the sight of Darryl’s slow-moving vehicle.

As the words left her mouth, Lily began to regret them. Darryl through his sheer will pushed his busted up bike through its limits!

The speed of the bike was too much for Lily, and she could not help but hold on tight to Darryl’s waist.

The sudden hug caused Darryl’s body to quiver all over. After three years of marriage, this was the first time they had physical contact with each other. A surge of excitement welled up from within him from Lily’s pressure on his back, prompting him to accelerate his bike even faster.

Eventually, the couple arrived at the office building’s main entrance, and Lily breathed a sigh of relief upon their arrival. As she was about to get off the bike, came the thunderous roar of an engine. An Audi Q5 pulled up and parked itself beside the bike, and a man stepped out of the car.

Ashton Adagio locked his car and adjusted his suit. He walked toward Lily and pointed at Darryl. “Dear Lily, who is this man?”

“He’s Darryl,” replied Lily gently as she got off the bike.

The wedding that took place between Darryl and Lily got the entire Donghai City shaken up. There was not a single soul in Donghai City that was not aware that the gentle and beautiful Lily Lyndon had wed a piece of trash.

“Oh, so he’s that piece of trash,” said Ashton with a cold snort. He took off his jacket and handed it to Lily. “Poor Lily, it must have been cold on the way here, put this on. I’ve even gotten a gift for you.”

Ashton went back to his car and got out a rather fancy-looking box.

The box contained a seemingly magnificent pair of high-heeled shoes made out of crystal. Whoever has it on would surely emanate a sense of elegance and class.

Several years ago, the Darby clan was also into the fashion business and thus Darryl got to know numerous renowned designers. If his memory served him right, this pair of heels was designed by a British designer, Minah, who named them ‘The Worship of Crystal’. Only 99 pairs were made that year and all of them were bought upon release. They were mostly bought by prominent families, even if one were to have the money now, it would be impossible to have access to a pair.

The ones in Ashton’s hands seemed like the real deal, but the production quality had some minor rough edges, it was obviously a replica.

“Lily, I know that you’ve always liked this pair of heels, but woe is me. I’ve looked high and low but could not find the real thing.” Ashton said as he handed over the heels to Lily. “Therefore I spent three hundred thousand to have this replica made. Wear them for now, and give me a month to buy you the real ones.”

“There’s no need,” said Lily lightly while accepting the pair of heels. “There’s no way you can find the real ones for sale. Even if you did, the price would be outrageously high. A pair was sold for 30 million in an auction just last year. So, there’s no need to waste any more of your time. I think this pair of replicas is already pretty nice.”

“Ah…” gulped Ashton. Indeed with his total net worth of roughly 30 million, there was no way he could use it all for a pair of heels. All he could do then was let out an awkward laugh.

It was at this moment that Darryl barged over, snatched the pair of heels, and threw them onto the ground!

“My dear wife, let’s not take other people’s stuff. If that’s what you like, then as your husband, I shall buy it for you,” said Darryl as he held onto Lily’s arm, dragging her toward her office building.

“Darryl, what the heck are you talking about?” hushed Lily.

They were standing at the main entrance of the office building, and as general manager, she had to keep her temper in check. She subconsciously tried to free her arm, but Darryl’s grip was too tight.

“Stand right there!” shouted Ashton in a hurry. The shoes cost him three hundred thousand bucks, he was not going to let it slide!

“What’s the meaning of this?” said Ashton as he strode to the couple, pointing and shouting at Darryl. “If you had broken this pair of heels, not even selling your kidney would make up for it, do you know that!?”

“First off, Lily is my wife, kindly stay away from her.”

“Secondly, if my wife is cold, she can have my shirt.” Upon finishing his sentence, Darryl grabbed Ashton’s jacket and tossed it onto the ground. “And finally, anything my wife likes, I’ll provide. A woman of her standard would not stoop so low as to wear replicas. Tonight I shall present her with the real Worship of Crystal.”

“You’re a real idiot! Even the replica costs three hundred thousand! Judging by your wreck of a bike, how dare you even pretend to be able to afford it!?” Ashton was instantly filled with rage. As the heir of the Adagio clan, no one dared speak to him in such a manner for years until now.

The most infuriating of all, Darryl went so far as to ignore him and dragged Lily into the building.

Ashton kicked Darryl’s bike so hard that it toppled over. However his anger was not quelled, and he proceeded to give it a few more furious kicks.

Meanwhile, in the general manager’s office of Neptunus Corporation...

Lily sat on her office chair and gave Darryl a cold, hard stare. She was trembling with rage. Ashton was a real estate mogul, and backing him was none other than Jiangnan’s number one clan - the Darbys!

Neptunus Corporation needed a five million bucks investment, and Lily had planned to ask Ashton to be the investor. After Darryl’s debacle today, Ashton would surely be seething with rage.

‘I shouldn’t have brought Darryl out! He has nothing to show for and yet has failures in excess, that’s the perfect way of describing him!’ thought Lily.

“Why are you still loitering here? Get lost!” Lily said coldly after glaring at him.

“Oh,” mumbled Darryl, and proceeded to leave the office.

Lily could not help but to get angrier at Darryl’s indifferent attitude, her hatred for him ground her gears. Over the past few years, her friends had married into affluent families. Their husbands were the cream of the crop, even the worst among them had at least two houses and the best with a net worth of billions.

Lily felt more and more wronged at the thought of Darryl. Her extended family would surely ridicule her again because of him during tonight’s clan gathering.

“Who smashed my bike!?” howled Darryl below the building.

The bike had been with him for three years! Darryl rode it to get groceries every single day and now it pained him to see it in such a smashed and broken state. Without a second thought, it was clear that it was that bastard Ashton’s doing.

At that moment, a few ladies dressed in business attire walked by in their high-heeled shoes. They were employees of Lily’s company, and they were now pointing and gossiping at Darryl.

“Look ladies, isn’t that Ms. Lyndon’s husband, Darryl?”

“It is him! I was there at her wedding.”

“Look at him, mourning his broken bike...”

Those ladies could not hold back any longer and laugh at him.

Darryl did not even notice their presence, and gently patted his bike. “Sigh... My bike bro, don’t you worry. I’ll avenge you for this, don’t worry...”

While he was comforting his bike, he took out his cellphone and dialed his clan’s number.

“Hey, it’s Darryl. I’m willing to help the clan but on two conditions. First, get me The Worship of Crystal. Next, there’s a man named Ashton Adagio who operates under our clan, right? I want to see him with nothing left to his name.”

Right after the call ended, he received a text message from Lily. It contained only a few words. ‘Tonight is the Lyndon clan’s annual gathering, get a new set of clothes, don’t embarrass me.’

***

At a seaside villa by the eastern sea coast, where one can take in the entire sea view. It was here that the patriarch of the Darby clan invited Darryl for a meeting.

Darryl sat on a rocking chair without a care in the world, while Darby clan’s patriarch sat across him. This man was Drake Darby, Darryl’s paternal uncle.

Upon seeing Darryl’s sitting posture, Drake let out a chuckle. “Oh Darryl, even after all these years, you’re still the same carefree boy.”

“Uncle, let’s cut to the chase, I have other matters to attend to tonight. You mentioned that the family fortune is in debt, so tell me, how much?” Darryl picked up a huge cherry, placed it in his mouth, and started chewing on it.

“Well... it’s not exactly a huge amount...” drifted Drake while scratching his head. As the patriarch, surely he has been through a lot of important meetings, but given the circumstance that he was the one requiring assistance, he had to exercise a certain amount of caution.

“We’re just three billion dollars in debt...”

‘What!? Three billion dollars!?’ thought Darryl.

“Um... uncle, I have other matters to attend to, I should be heading out,” said Darryl gloomily as he stood up, preparing to leave.

“Oh dear Darryl!” said Drake in a hurry. “Darryl, our clan needs the funding! Without it, everything we’ve built would be ruined! The two conditions you’ve mentioned will be met! Ashton Adagio will be left with nothing by tonight, and The Worship of Crystal is already on its way.”

“Uncle, I want to help you, but where in the world would I have such an amount of money?” said Darryl, letting out a long sigh.

“Darryl, do you want to see our clan crumble in front of your very eyes? You have 3.2 billion in your bank account!” Drake was truly desperate. “We can’t forget our roots!”

Darryl was all smiles but after hearing those words, it slowly faded away. “Uncle, back when I bought the shares for Southeast Petroleum, your wife said that I was up to no good and that I planned to have the family fortune transferred to myself! Hundreds of my family members berated me, and got me banished from the clan! Was there anyone that tried to defend me!?”

“You guys know damn well that every single penny of the eight million I had used to buy the shares was earned by myself, they were never part of the family fortune!”

“All these years I’ve been treated like I’m less than a mutt for being a live-in son-in-law, did any of our family come to help!?”

“If it wasn’t for the lack of funds, you guys would have forgotten about me!” Darryl clenched his fists, expressing himself word by word.

“Darryl, we were wrong to banish you, we sincerely apologize... But right now our clan is in dire need for your funding...” said Drake as he stepped forward, holding onto Darryl’s arm. He took a deep breath and continued, “Darryl, as long as you’re willing to support our clan, as patriarch I will grant you the position of President of Platinum Corporation. Give me your identity card, and head over to Platinum Corporation’s office building tomorrow. A secretary will be there to fill you in on the details.”

Platinum Corporation was an entertainment company with the highest potential under the Darby clan’s control. Many top celebrities were under their contract.

All these while Platinum Corporation was under the management of Drake’s wife. It came as a surprise that he was willing to hand over the entire company to Darryl.

“Sure, if that’s all, I’ll be going off,” said Darryl after giving it some consideration. Even though purchasing Platinum Corporation for three billion dollars seemed inappropriate, he relented seeing that the patriarch was about to burst into tears.

Darryl left after finishing his words. Tonight was the Lyndon clan’s annual gathering, but there was another important matter to Darryl before that, which was his high school reunion. The reunion was about to begin and he was determined not to be late. He longed to meet his classmates after such a long time without contact. His entire class would be at today’s gathering, even the beautiful class teacher apparently would be attending too.

Meanwhile, at Neptunus Corporation.

Lily had just left the meeting room after finishing her meeting with the shareholders when she saw her female employees talking and laughing at their cellphones.

How dare they shrug their duties during working hours? Lily walked toward them intending to reprimand, but instead, she saw that they were watching a video, and in that video was none other than Darryl!

“My bike bro, don’t you worry. I’ll avenge you for this…”

In the video, Darryl was caressing his bike with a face full of sorrow.

“Haha, this guy is hilarious, who is it?”

“You don’t know? It’s Miss Lyndon’s husband.”

“What? Do you mean that piece of trash Darryl? So I’ve heard that she was married to a piece of trash…”

The ladies were happily gossiping away when one of them stood up and did a mimicry of Darryl. “I don’t suppose you girls know that earlier today when I just arrived at work, I heard Darryl said he was gonna buy The Worship of Crystal for Miss Lyndon!”

“Hahaha, that is such a huge joke!”

“Yeah, look at how uncouth he is, so distressed over his broken bike. The Worship of Crystal costs 30 million, he’ll have to work several lifetimes for that amount!”

Their discussion was in full swing when one of them turned around and noticed Lily looming over them. The expression on their faces changed in an instant.

“Sorry Miss Lyndon, we’ll get back to work…”

Lily bit her lip tightly, trying hard to put up with the humiliation! Even though she was the general manager, it was hard not to get red-faced in this situation. She did not go out for lunch, but instead locked herself in her office, unable to help herself but to get teary-eyed.

Meanwhile, Darryl was walking home while humming a tune. He had to attend his high school reunion in a moment so he went back to change.

Initially, Darryl was in a good mood, but as he entered the house, he was greeted by the sight of Samantha sitting cross-legged on the sofa, looking at him with cold eyes.

“Darryl, good timing to be back, get over here.”

Darryl had been living with the family for three years, and the fear he had for Samantha was extreme.

“Darryl, pack your stuff, you’re going to get a divorce tomorrow and move out of here,” said Samantha coldly.

“But ma’am... My love for Lily is sincere…” said Darryl with his head lowered. After three years of company, it was certain that he would develop feelings for Lily.

Samantha slammed the table upon hearing those words. She stood up and walked up next to Darryl. “You love my daughter? What right do you have to love her? I’ve put up with you for three years, what else can you do besides household chores? How are you fit for my daughter? Do you know that numerous men are vying to be with my daughter? Ashton Adagio just called and said as long as I grant him my daughter, he’ll immediately give a dowry of 20 million bucks.”

20-million dowry? Darryl let out a faint smile. Ashton was a distant relative under the Darby clan, he was the son of an aunt. All the funds for Ashton’s company were sponsored by the Darbys. Darryl had already called his clan beforehand, and within 24 hours, Ashton Adagio would be left with nothing. How would he find that 20 million?

“Ma’am, I won’t leave. I’ll agree to the divorce, but only if Lily says it to me in person.” Darryl finished his words, turned around, and left the house.

“How dare you! Come back here right now!” Samantha stomped her feet in anger and went after Darryl in her high heels, but he was too far gone.

In the evening, at Neptunus Corporation.

Lily had locked herself in her office for the entire day. That video of Darryl had gone viral around the company, making him a laughing stock.

Lily took a deep breath before slowly leaving her office. “Alright, you guys can leave now,” said Lily to her employees.

“Miss Lyndon, there’s a package for you.” The front desk receptionist carried a box over and handed it to Lily.

Upon seeing the box, the crowd let out a sound of astonishment! It... it cannot possibly be so luxurious? How can a mere delivery package be gilded?

“Wow, what delivery package is this?”

“Yeah Miss Lily, it’s my first time seeing a gilded delivery package!”

“Surely it must be a gift from someone, open it up and let’s see, Miss Lily.”

Although Lily was stern at work, she maintained a good relationship with her employees. Everyone was curious about the package, it was as if the entire office had formed a crowd around her.

Lily wondered as well. She had never bought stuff online, where could this package have come from? Seeing that everyone was excited, Lily let out a little smile and gently opened the box.

It was at that instant when everyone was stupefied! There was pin-drop silence for about ten seconds before everybody suddenly spoke in furor!

“This... this is... The Worship of Crystal!?”

“It can’t be! The globally limited to only 99 pairs, and sold for up to 30 million dollars, that Worship of Crystal!?”

“It’s so beautiful! Miss Lily, you’re such a fortunate lady!”

They were discussing among themselves, but Lily herself could not utter a single word! She had been fond of this pair of heels for many years. One look was enough for her to determine that it was the real deal!

How was this possible! Lily stepped back in disbelief, it was as if she was in a dream. Unless... unless Ashton had sold his company, and gifted her this pair of heels? The thought of that touched Lily’s heart. If she wore The Worship of Crystal to tonight’s gathering, she would surely be the talk of the place.

***

Donghai City, Flouria KTV.

This KTV is one of Donghai City’s famous entertainment centers. Buying power was very high, those who came are all famous people, filling up the entrance with their luxurious cars. It was here that Darryl would be attending his high school reunion.

Darryl rode his newly bought electric bike here, he was whistling a tune as he parked his vehicle at the entrance. He had wanted to buy a car, but he had given his identity card to the patriarch, so he could only settle for a bike for now. He was about to meet his high school classmates soon, and he was excited.

It was just as he got his vehicle parked that he heard a hurried whistling.

“Can you move?! You’re only riding a shabby bike, and you want to occupy an entire spot?” A BMW 5 series stopped by the side, the driver stuck his head out of the window and called out to Darryl.

The man and Darryl locked eyes and were surprised to see each other!

“Class monitor!?” said Darryl as he ran toward the car. The man inside the car was none other than Darryl’s high school class monitor, Clifford Conway.

“Darryl? What happened to you?” Clifford got out of his car, and looked Darryl up and down before he merely let out a cold laugh, and hastily went into the KTV.

Darryl awkwardly called out to him, wanting to strike up a conversation, but Clifford had no intention of acknowledging him. The two of them walked to the reserved KTV room one after another. The rest of the class had already arrived, and they turned their heads toward the door upon seeing their arrival.

“Class monitor is so handsome now? Truly a successful man!”

The room turned lively upon his arrival. They were all crowding around Clifford.

Clifford was wearing a suit, and it looked expensive. Most importantly, he was holding a BMW car key in his hand.

Meanwhile, Darryl, who was cast aside, was dressed in bargained goods, and in his hands were merely keys for an electric bike. His appearance was no different from a delivery person. No one even cared to acknowledge him, it was truly an awkward moment.

However Darryl did not care for such things, his eyes scanned the vicinity. After not seeing them for so many years, his female classmates were prettier than the other. The prettiest of all, however, was still Giselle Lindt.

Giselle was the class’s goddess, she frequently wore jeans that accentuated her firm figure. Her beauty was unrivaled.

A few years without seeing Giselle, it seemed that she had acquired a touch of maturity, exuding an air of gentleness. She wore skin-tight jeans to the reunion, further enchanting any onlookers.

Clifford also took notice of Giselle and was hooked almost immediately. He could not help but ask, “Giselle, you’re so charming, what are you up to these days?”

Before Giselle could reply, a lady nearby had already replied first. “Class monitor, you should know by now that Giselle is going to be a celebrity! She is signing a contract with Platinum Corporation soon!”

“Woah!”

The room was in an uproar, who in Donghai City has not heard of Platinum Corporation? Several A-list celebrities were all under them!

To be fair, Giselle was a beautiful woman, compared to the other A-list celebrities, she was not any inferior to them at all.

Darryl was excited upon hearing Platinum Corporation mentioned, for when tomorrow comes, that company would belong to him. On that thought, Darryl smiled and approached Giselle, wanting to sit beside her and have a chat. As he sat down, he saw Giselle frowning, giving him a contempt look as she said, “Can you not sit here?”

“Oh?” Darryl stood up slowly. “Is someone sitting here?”

“Nope, I just don’t want to sit beside you,” Giselle replied coldly. “Darryl, you’re attending our high school reunion, can’t you at least put on some decent clothes? Isn’t it dirty wearing those bargained goods?”

‘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 he 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. He 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 as much as he could.

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, he would hurl a couple of insults at Darryl.

“Yoohoo, aren’t you Lyndon clan’s good little son-in-law, Darryl?” asked William as he walked from afar, purposely speaking in a loud tone. “Darryl, I might have seen the clothes you’re wearing at the bargain bin. What are they, ten bucks each?”

William’s words made Darryl the focus of the entire hall. They gawked at him as if he was a monkey.

“Mind your words, this cost me 19 bucks,” mumbled Darryl.

The crowd let out a burst of roaring laughter. A few ladies who tried to maintain their composure ultimately caved in and laughed.

“Just shut your mouth,” said Lily in a hushed tone. She could feel her pride besmirched by Darryl yet again. If not for the clan rule that every single member of the family must attend the gathering, she would not have even allowed him to come!

“Oh Lily, it’s not that I look down on your family. I don’t even care that your husband is wearing something that is only 19 bucks. The dress you’re wearing, however, can’t cost more than 1,800?” William laughed. “Wouldn’t you feel embarrassed wearing such a low-end dress? Do you see this suit I’m wearing? It’s a tailor-made Ermenegildo Zegna. Do you know how much it costs?”

William stuck a few fingers out and shook them in front of Darryl and Lily. “700,000.”

“Wow!”

William’s words triggered the crowd to cast an admiring stare. The ladies were awestruck, and the men were envious of him as well.

Lily bit her lip tightly, indeed her dress had only cost her 1,200 bucks. She would not even dare to dream of having clothing that would cost 700,000.

Lily felt as if the whole crowd was laughing at her like a joke, her beautiful face showed a hint of blush.

Out of a sudden, Darryl walked toward William and gave his suit a light touch.

“Are you mad?!” William exclaimed as he flew into a rage. “You have no right touching this suit!”

Darryl merely smiled and said, “I think the suit you’re wearing isn’t appropriate for the occasion. This suit was designed by a famous Italian fashion designer named Francesco Martin. There’s only one in existence, and it’s currently housed in the Italian Fashion Museum. Hence the one you’re wearing is a replica and not just that, it’s a crude imitation. There’s an uncut thread on your right pocket, you may take off that thread now. If my calculations are correct, this suit is only worth 200 bucks. Even my wife’s 1,200 bucks dress has better quality than your suit.”

“Another thing, this suit’s inspiration was derived from his father, Petrarch, who had depression after his bankruptcy. He felt that the world was distorted. Therefore the stripes on this suit are crooked to represent his perspective of distorted reality,” he continued.

“The fact that you’re wearing this suit today, are you hoping for the Lyndon clan to go bankrupt as well?!” said Darryl as he smiled. His voice was not loud, yet his words echoed throughout the hall!

Silence! Total silence!

The crowd was shocked by his words, they found it hard to believe that those words came out of Darryl’s mouth!

“Oh right, another thing I forgot to mention. My wife isn’t too demanding with her clothes, but her standard for shoes is immense,” his words came one after another. “The heels on her feet is The Worship of Crystal. If you’ve never heard of it, you can read it up online.”

“Wow!”

“The Worship of Crystal? It truly is the real thing! How magnificent…”

The crowd was chattering with excitement! The women here were all of high-standing, how would they have not heard of The Worship of Crystal? One glance was enough to determine that the heels on Lily’s feet were genuine!

That was The Worship of Crystal that cost 30 million! Try asking and see which woman would not love it?! Lily instantly became the focus of attention, and she was showered by praises and admirations.

Lily could not help but look at Darryl. After three years of marriage, this was the first time she felt that this piece of trash resembled a real man. But, how did Darryl know all this information? The Italian designer’s name and inspiration, surely only a handful of people would know?

After some thinking, Lily deduced that Darryl must have secretly looked it up online beforehand!

“You’re talking nonsense!” said William, pointing at Darryl angrily with embarrassment.

‘Smack!’

Out of nowhere, Samantha slapped Darryl!

It was a hard slap, and in an instant, the whole crowd stood there in silence from the shock.

“Darryl, what are you babbling about? Apologize to William right now!” Samatha demanded coldly.
