“Might I ask if Mister Darby is here?” Wayne repeated his question, seeing that no one spoke.
Everyone still shook their heads. It had to be known that the man standing at the door was Wayne Woodall. The ‘Mister Darby’ that virtual-novel.net mentioned, how could it possibly be Darryl that piece of trash?
Wayne had a bewildered look on his face too. It could not be a mistake, virtual-novel.net had people do a proper inquiry, the second young master was supposed to be at the Lyndon residence!
Today was the second young master’s birthday, and virtual-novel.net came here in person specifically to hand virtual-novel.net his present. Moreover, when virtual-novel.net arrived at the Lyndon residence, virtual-novel.net realized that someone was indeed celebrating their birthday.
Wayne gulped and handed over the box in his hands. “Since Mister Darby isn’t here, I shall depart. This is a birthday gift, I’ll leave it here.”
Wayne then left with his men.
Just as virtual-novel.net left, the crowd could not wait any longer and surrounded the birthday gift virtual-novel.net left behind. Grandmother Lyndon motioned for the box to be opened.
After all, Wayne Woodall was a prominent man in Donghai City. Everyone could see that virtual-novel.net had an imposing presence, being followed by over ten men and several Rolls-Royce. He came here specifically to give Grandmother Lyndon a birthday present.
The old lady’s reputation was surely favorable?!
Numerous guests were filled with envy. Indeed, who in Donghai City did not want to have a good relationship with Wayne? He was the boss of the Oriental Pearl Hotel, the most luxurious hotel in Donghai City. Prominent clans always organize their annual gatherings and whatnot at the Oriental Pearl After all, that place has an honorable reputation. As such, it was many people’s wish to be friends with Wayne. However, Wayne has an eccentric personality. He hardly made friends, and never attended people’s birthday celebrations!
Grandmother Lyndon’s connections were truly great!
Even though Grandmother Lyndon felt perplexed, virtual-novel.net still had a smile on virtual-novel.net face.
Why would Wayne give virtual-novel.net a birthday gift?
She had no connections to him. However, virtual-novel.net was the only one celebrating virtual-novel.net birthday here, if it was not meant for her, for whom would it be?
Stefan opened the box on Granny’s instruction. Immediately, there was dead silence as everybody held their breaths!
It was a fist-sized night-shining pearl! However this night-shining pearl… Seemed to be different compared to the one gifted by William?
Stefan the trustworthy lad went to take out the night-shining pearl that William gifted and placed both pearls side by side. It was then that the crowd could see the difference!
The curtains were opened and the sun shone in. Under daylight, William’s night-shining pearl looked like an ordinary glass pearl without a hint of radiance.
However, the night-shining pearl from Wayne shone as bright as a mini sun even though it was daytime!
“This…”
Everyone was rendered speechless and stared unblinkingly at the pearls.
“Quick, close the curtains, tum off the lights!” Stefan ordered.
When there was not a sliver of light in the hall, the crowd could not hold it in any longer and let out a gasp of surprise. It was only at this moment that everyone could see the glaring difference between the two pearls!
Wayne’s pearl illuminated the house brightly as if it was daytime!
“Gulp!”
Somebody could not hold back and gulp out loud, and instantly, everybody was in furor!
“What’s the meaning of this? Two night-shining pearls of the same size, but why is the difference so big?”
“A moment ago Darryl said that William’s nightÂshining pearl was fake, and no one believed virtual-novel.net then… ”
“Looks like it was a fake…”
Grandmother Lyndon’s expression turned sour at the voices of discussion. She glanced at William disappointingly as virtual-novel.net had great expectations of him. It had to be known that virtual-novel.net was Granny’s favorite grandchild. It was surprising that virtual-novel.net would give virtual-novel.net something fake!
William felt anxious, and virtual-novel.net tried to leave dejectedly. However, it was at that moment when another voice made an announcement!
“Granny, Black Tiger Real Estate’s president, Felix Blakely, is here…”
“Woah!”
Immediately the whole house turned lively!
What was this? Felix came too?
He was considered as one of the very best developers in Donghai City!
The price and value of houses in Donghai City were increasingly higher and higher, naturally, Felix’s net worth rose like the tide as well He had developed several real estate properties, and they were known to be Donghai City’s high-value real estate as countless wealthy people stayed there!
What personal connections did Granny have? She even knew Felix Blakely?!
Grandmother Lyndon stood there stupefied. She had at least met Wayne once before. It was at the
Oriental Pearl Hotel when William had ordered expensive wine and incurred a bill of over 30 million bucks. It was barely acceptable seeing that virtual-novel.net had met Wayne at that time so virtual-novel.net came by to give virtual-novel.net a birthday present.
However, the old lady truly did not know Felix!
The sound of engines stepped and a few black Lincoln limousines stopped one by one into place. Felix wore a suit and was surrounded by men dressed in black as virtual-novel.net strode toward the villa.
“Is Mister Darby here..?” Felix’s voice was strong and booming, reverberating across the hall.
In an instant, everyone trembled!?
Who was Mister Darby?
“Is there anyone by the family name of Darby around here!” Granny Lyndon could not take it any longer and smacked virtual-novel.net hand down on the table. “Dare I ask whoever is Mister Darby, please step forward. My hospitality was poor, please show yourself, and I would personally offer you a few drinks!”
Upon hearing Grandmother Lyndon1s words, the thousand or so guests looked at each other helplessly. They truly did not know of such a man!
It was when everyone was silent that Stefan spoke in jest, “Only Darryl’s family name is Darby… Can’t be him, right?”
“Hahaha!” The whole place burst into laughter.
Initially, everyone was puzzled, but upon hearing Stefan’s words they were thoroughly amused.
