As Yvonne was about to continue the conversation with Darryl, Grandmother Lyndon smiled and walked toward Lily while holding a wine glass.
Everyone stopped eating when they saw the old lady walking over.
"Lilybud, Granny wants to ask you something," the old lady spoke slowly.
"Ask away, Granny," Lily said.
Grandmother Lyndon nodded. "Lilybud, since it’s Granny's birthday today, can you promise me to go and negotiate with Platinum Corporation? We’ll stand to earn a lot if they assign us the task of managing Giselle’s styling. Can you agree to that?"
"This..."
Lily did not know what to think, but she secretly peeked at Darryl.
Her earlier efforts in securing the cooperation with Platinum Corporation was credited to William, which had upset her tremendously.
Darryl had instructed her not to agree to Grandmother Lyndon’s request.
Sure enough, she saw Darryl shaking his head.
Lily gritted her teeth. If she were to listen to the loser, she would have to reject the old lady in front of so many people...
"Yes, Mom." Samantha stood up all of a sudden. "Leave this to Lilybud. She’ll live up to your expectations!"
"Good!" The old woman smiled.
At that moment, no one expected Darryl, who had been sitting quietly by the side, to stand up suddenly.
"Not a chance."
His cold words sounded extremely harsh!
"Lily was the one who first negotiated the contract, but her efforts had been robbed by William," Darryl said coldly. "My wife only comes to mind now that Platinum Corporation doesn't recognize William, right?"
"You... What did you say?" The old lady pointed at Darryl and was extremely furious.
Members of the Lyndon family looked at Darryl as if they were looking at a mentally deranged individual.
Had he gone mad? Did he have any idea where he stood in the Lyndon family? He was nothing more than a live-in son-in-law! Even the Lyndon family’s dog had a better life than him!
"I’ve tolerated you for a long time!" William finally could not take it anymore and jumped out all of a sudden. "What the hell are you doing? Who are you to call the shots for Lily? Are you here to cause trouble during Granny's birthday? You dress like crap, gave Granny a sh*tty fan, and now you’re trying to interfere with our family matters? I’ll f*cking kill you!"
William struck a fierce punch almost immediately after finishing his words!
