THE ULTIMATE HUSBAND - Season 1 Episode 5

The Lyndon clan’s authority rested in the

hands of the grandmother, and she favored William the most. Moreover, William’s development is pretty

decent, he has at least 30 million worth of assets. Any offense toward him would surely not end well.

“Mom, what are you doing?” asked Lily as she walked over and held her mother back.

Even though she detested Darryl, it was him that had gotten her out of her predicament.

Darryl covered his face, the red slap mark on his cheek was strongly visible. However, he had a small

smile on his face. After three whole years, this was the first time Lily spoke on his behalf. Darryl simply

turned and left, with a smile on his face.

“Get your a*s back here, you piece of trash!” Although it was quite a distance, Darryl could still hear

Samantha’s shouts.

As the crowd watched the spectacle unfold, an aged voice could be heard from not far away.

“What’s with all the commotion?” Grandmother Lyndon asked as she walked onto the stage. The

originally bustling hall fell silent upon the sight of her.

“Alright alright, no need for such formalities. Take a seat.” Grandmother Lyndon waved her hand, and

under the support of some people, slowly sat down on her chair. “According to my reliable sources,

Donghai City’s Platinum Corporation will have a new President tomorrow.”

“Woah!”

The matter sparked a heated discussion among the crowd. The Lyndon clan has over ten advertising

companies under them. In recent years, the Lyndons were keen for a partnership between them and

Platinum Corporation for they were Donghai City’s largest entertainment company. A partnership with

them would give the Lyndons steady profits without loss.

However, backing the Platinum Corporation was none other than the Darby clan, who have always

looked down on the Lyndons! Every single mention of a partnership had been rejected by them. With the

arrival of a new president, the Lyndons had to give it a shot, hoping for a partnership!

“Who’s willing to go discuss the partnership?” Grandmother Lyndon asked slowly as she looked around

the hall. “Whoever that can successfully negotiate and secure the partnership, would be considered

making a huge contribution to our clan!”

“I’ll go!”

“Granny, I’ll go!”

“I’m willing as well!”

All of them were vying for that role, except for Lily. She knew that deep down, her standing in the clan

was relatively low.

Upon seeing how enthusiastic they were, Grandmother Lyndon nodded her head in praise and smiled.

She pointed at William and said, “William, why don’t you go over there tomorrow and give it a try.”

William let out a wide-eyed smile and nodded excitedly.

Darryl left alone and took a cab back home to sleep. He had to make up for the lack of sleep last night

from the excitement of discovering that he had made a fortune.

Darryl slept especially soundly that night. The very next morning, he left for Platinum Corporation on his

scooter right after preparing breakfast.

Uncle Drake had already told him that Pearl Hahn, the secretary, would be at the company waiting for

him.

Platinum Corporation was situated in the bustling central business district of Donghai City. At the

entrance of the company parked a row of luxurious cars, and quite a number of them belonged to the

celebrities signed under the company.

It was company policy that every celebrity had to report to the company every day. If there were an

emergency, they had to apply for leave. Therefore paparazzi frequently hang around the building, hoping

to snap some celebrities’ photos and sell them for a profit. If they managed to capture anything gossipy

or scandalous, they would be able to make a huge profit.

‘D**n, riding this scooter here surely seems uncouth, I should get a car…’ thought Darryl as he parked

his scooter at the company’s entrance.

Suddenly, came the roar of an engine, followed by a ‘bang’ that nearly sent Darryl flying.

Darryl turned around and saw that a Porsche Cayenne had knocked his scooter. The Porsche was

barely scratched, but the back of his scooter was completely dented.

‘Son of a b*tch! My newly bought scooter! Broken again?’ thought Darryl, as he felt like weeping but had

no tears. He noticed a crowd started to form around him, judging and watching the commotion.

“Do you know how to drive?” said a beautiful lady, as she stepped out of the car.

“Wow…”

Sounds of exclamation came from the crowd, the appearance of this woman drew all their attention. She

was wearing a sheath dress and a pair of high heels, her figure was alluring and toned. A woman like her

would surely be the focal point wherever she went.

“Giselle?” Darryl exclaimed.

Giselle was here to sign her contract! Darryl smiled. Although she crashed into him and broke his

scooter, it was a good thing that none of them were injured. He did not want to pursue this matter further

and was about to walk over to greet Giselle when she saw that it was him.

“You? Darryl? What are you doing here?”

Giselle furrowed her eyebrows and thought that Darryl must be a security guard at Platinum Corporation.

“Are you blind? Do you even know how to drive?” said Giselle full of spite. Her car was only one week

old, although it was only a minor scratch, she still felt hurt for it.

“But you’re the one that knocked into me…” said Darryl helplessly. “Why are you blaming me for it…”

“What’s going on here?” Suddenly came the voice of a middle-aged man. It was the head of security,

who had brought his guards with him to the scene.

The head of security was shocked to see what had happened. A c***h between a scooter and a

Porsche? He deduced that this beautiful lady was a celebrity, here to sign a contract. She must not be

offended at any cost!

At the thought of that, the head of security pointed at Darryl and shouted, “What do you think you’re

doing? Don’t you know that Platinum Corporation bans the entry of scooters into the premises?”

“There’s such a rule? Who made it?” Darryl asked coldly.

“Who made it? I made it!” The head of security stepped forward. “Apologize to this lady immediately!”

Upon hearing what the head of security said, Giselle smirked and pointed at Darryl. “He must be the new

security guard?”

The head of security was stunned and took a good look at Darryl. He was dressed in bargained goods

and rode in on a scooter, he must be here to apply for the position of a security guard.

“Don’t worry Miss, I won’t be hiring him!” The head of security assured as he patted his chest. He looked

back at Darryl and said, “Today is your first day on the job? Then let me declare that you’re fired.”

‘This was not a healthy general practice for the company.’ Darryl shook his head. The head of security

was such a mean snob.

“I would like to see you try to fire me,” said Darryl slowly with a grin. “Do you even have the authority to

fire someone?”

“You!” The head of security pointed at Darryl. Surely this punk was mad? Indeed the head of security has

no authority to fire anyone, but if Darryl was here to apply for the position of a security guard, as the

head of security, he would not be giving him a good time.

“Darryl, you’re such a disgusting person,” said Giselle as she stomped her heels toward Darryl, eyeing

him with contempt. “If the head of security can’t fire you, then surely the deputy manager would be able

to?”

After finishing her words, Giselle took out her cellphone and sent a text message. Within moments, a

lady dressed in business attire came walking out of the company building.

This lady was attractive, and her height was roughly 165cm, and over 30 years of age. She was dressed

in business attire and wore black high heel shoes, accentuating her femininity and maturity.

“Miss Peach.”

Upon seeing the business lady’s arrival, all the employees and security guards bowed and greeted her

one after another. This lady was Platinum Corporation’s deputy manager, Penelope Peach.

“Aunt Penelope,” said Giselle, as she stepped forward to greet Penelope. It was because Penelope was

Giselle’s aunt, and through her connections as deputy manager, got Giselle a contract with Platinum

Corporation.

Penelope nodded her head in acknowledgment, and turned her attention to Darryl, and said, “Apologize

to Giselle.”

What?

Darryl felt that it was a funny moment. He asked, “Why do I have to apologize? Who are you?”

“This guy must’ve hit himself on the head, can’t even recognize the deputy manager.” whispered some of

the employees.

“Yeah, is he looking for trouble by not apologizing?”

Penelope stared at Darryl with cold eyes and frowned. “You’re here to apply for the position of a security

guard, yes? Who hired you for this job? It does not matter. Since you’re not willing to apologize, as

deputy manager, I hereby inform you that you’re fired. Get on your scooter and get lost.”

“Me? Get lost?” Darryl pointed at himself and laughed.

“Are you deaf? Can’t you understand?” Giselle said coldly through her teeth. “I’ll take it as my unlucky

day to meet a fly like you. Even though you scratched my car, I won’t ask you for compensation. Get out

of my sight immediately.”

‘Beep beep beep!’

At that moment came the honking of a Bentley, which stopped in front of the crowd. A girl who looked

slightly more than 20 years of age, wearing a black business suit and glasses came out of the car.

“President, I am so sorry I’m late,” said Miss Pearl, the secretary, as she hastily walked to the front of

Darryl and did a 90-degree bow.
