The ultimate husband

Read The Ultimate Husband [by Skykissing wolf] Chapter 366 – ‘D**n it! I was captured by the Heaven

Cult from her villa the other day. It seems that she’s still angry at me!’ Darryl thought.

“Miss Newman, I really need a favor from you. It’s a matter of life and d***h,” he pleaded.

Although he did not know Circe long, he knew she had a kind heart under her cold face. If not, she

would not have apologized to him for the phone incident.

“A matter of life and d***h?” Circe replied.

Meanwhile, Evelyn smirked, thinking Darryl was suspicious, “Oh, cut the act! I can see that you’re just

trying to get closer to Circe, am I right? Don’t you even dare to fantasize about that, you d****e! Go lost

and stop ruining our day!”

Evelyn felt better after slapping him, but his face still annoyed her.

Darryl did not respond and kept on looking at Circe with sincerity.

Watching Darryl just stand there, Evelyn said, “ Why are you still here? Aren’t you ashamed? Was the

slap not enough for you?” She walked toward him and prepared to slap him again.

The other ladies looked at Darryl’s dumb face and laughed silently. Darryl looked dull, boring, and

talentless. How would Circe fall for him? Ever?

“Evelyn,” Circe called out as she looked at Darryl with concern. “What is it?”

She really did not want to speak to Darryl, but she could not stand to see his anxious face. This was

the first time she had ever seen him looking so nervous.

Darryl took a step closer. “Miss Newman, I’d like to know if your family still has the Heart of the Ocean

that your family bid on during the Roger’s Auction ten years ago?”

’Heart of the Ocean?’ Circe wondered.

Hearing that, the ladies were shocked. They unconsciously turned their gaze onto Circe’s neck.

Indeed, the Newman family bought the Heart of the Ocean from the auction. The Heart of the Ocean

was not only a miracle pill, but it also had an exquisite look. Circe had always worn it as a necklace

since she was young, and she loved it dearly.

‘This dude was brave. He actually inquired about Circe’s favorite thing!’ Circe’s friends thought.

In that instant, Circe’s face flushed red with anger.

He promised to refine the pill for Evelyn and ran away, and for two days, she did not hear back from

him. Now he decided to show up because he needed a favor.

Circe remained calm and answered coldly, “Yeah, the Heart of the Ocean is what I’m wearing on my

neck right now.”

’This was great news!’ Darryl thought.

His face flushed with joy and excitement. He felt as if the heaviness in his heart had been relieved.

Upon a closer look at her neck, he saw a white gold necklace with a blue-colored gemstone hanging on

it. Its surface was so smooth and reflective that you could feel its presence even standing a few meters

away. Not only that, but you could smell its unique lingering scent vaguely.

’The Heart of Ocean was indeed a real treasure!’ Darryl thought.

At this instant, Darryl was stunned by the sight of it and trembled a little. He looked at Circe sincerely

and asked, “Miss Newman? Could you please sell this to me?”

’He wanted to buy The Heart of Ocean? Haha!’ Circe thought.

Suddenly, all the ladies around them started laughing.

’What was this idiot thinking? Did he think he was buying a necklace at the market? Could he even

afford it?’ the ladies laughed to themselves.

Among the laughter ringing in the air, Evelyn sneered, “Darryl, what’s wrong with your brain? You want

to buy it from Circe? Do you know how much it costs?”

Darryl nodded without hesitation, “I do. Ten billion bucks.”

Evelyn laughed at his response. “It was ten billion bucks when Circe’s family bought it. But that was ten

years ago!”

The ladies resumed their laughter.

“Yeah, ten billion bucks then is incomparable to ten billion bucks now!”

“Huh, why are you even telling him that? Look at his dumb face and his cheap clothes. Don’t bother

about ten billion; I doubt he even has a million bucks with him!”

Darryl did not speak and smiled faintly at their remarks.

Meanwhile, Evelyn snarked, “Do you know that there’s only one Heart of the Ocean in the world? It was

worth ten billion bucks ten years ago. Now it’s worth at least zo billion bucks!” She looked at Darryl with

disdain. “Looking at you and your poor face, do you even know how much twenty billion bucks is? Even

one truck can’t carry all that cash. You’d need a few trucks to do so. Do you understand? If you were to

count every note, you’d be counting for the rest of your life. Do you get it?”

“I’d buy it if it’s two hundred billion bucks,” Darryl declared without hesitation.

He knew that there were at least 100 billion bucks in his account right now. Also, the Platinum

Corporation had been doing quite well recently with their new show 101 Superstar making decent

profits. He could get hold of a few hundred billion bucks from the company. If that was not enough, he

could phone up Felix Blakely or Wayne Woodall.

Two hundred billion bucks was not a big deal. Even getting two thousand billion bucks was possible if

he really needed it.

Of course, the Newman family was the wealthiest people in Kyoto, but even a wealthy family would not

reject earning a few extra hundreds of billions of bucks! Darryl was determined to get a hold of the

Heart of the Ocean todday, even if it meant going bankrupt. Only the Heart of the Ocean could save

Dax’s life, and that was all that mattered.

Meanwhile, the ladies could no longer hold back their laughter and started laughing uncontrollably.

They looked at Darryl like he was an idiot.

“He really was a good liar! He says he could afford it. Who was he kidding!’ they laughed to

themselves.
