Chapter 221
The Ultimate Husband
Read The Ultimate Husband [by Skykissing wolf] Chapter 221 â The gala was quite dull; it was just an
event where celebrities performed on stage.
Darryl walked around the venue, but he did not see Giselle and Lana. He figured they were backstage to
wait for their turn to get on stage for their performances.
He decided not to stay for them; he wanted to go home, take a shower, and go to sleep.
He left the Donghai Satellite Television Building and lit a cigarette near the entrance. It was almost p pm;
the lights flickered as people walked around the streets.
Darryl was about to call a taxi when he noticed two men acting suspiciously beside a luxurious MPV.
One of them was skinnier than the other, and they placed a bag behind the MPVâs trunk before they hid
behind a utility pole.
âWhat are those two doing?â Darryl smoked his cigarette as he watched with interest.
A pretty woman in a white dress walked by a few moments later. She looked like a college student.
She had the keys in her hand, and she got up to the MPV. She ignited its engine and reversed to get out
of the parking.
Thump
The two men, who hid near the utility pole, immediately appeared when the car knocked over the bag on
the ground.
âHey, do you know how to drive? Canât you see that thereâs something behind your car? Come out!â The
fat man knocked on the car window repeatedly with a stem expression as he urged the woman to get out
of the vehicle.
The skinny man crouched as he opened the luggage with a pained expression. âMy antique vase! I just
purchased it for two million bucks! Itâs broken!â
The luggage was filled with vase shards and pieces.
âHow funny! Con men these days are pretty skilled.â Darryl continued to watch with enthusiasm.
The fat manâs shout attracted passersby, and they had gathered around the incident.
The young woman was in a daze. She got out of the car and stared at the vase pieces; she looked
stupefied.
âIâm sorry, Iâm sorryâ¦â Her face paled as she was in shock. The fat man mentioned that the antique vase
was worth two million bucks. How could she afford to compensate them?
Dora Simpson bit her lips; she was anxious. She was a student from Donghai University, and she had a
part-time job as a driver to earn tuition fees because she was not from a wealthy family.
She did not expect to get in trouble on her first day at her job.
â I didnât see it. Iâm sorry. Iâm really sorryâ¦â Dora sweated profusely as she apologized over and over
again.
âNo way! My two million bucks worth vase is broken! You must be rich since youâre driving this car! Pay
me back now!â The skinny one rolled his eyes and put on a menacing expression.
âWhat?â
âTwo million?â
The crowd gasped. It was an impossible amount for regular folk. Those who did not understand the
situation sighed in relief when they saw the type of car she drove.
âYoung lady, youâre rich anyway; just pay him back
âThatâs right! You are the one who broke his vase.â
Dora was horrified. She panicked and said, âI donât have the money, Iâm just a driverâ¦â
It was two million bucks.
She could never earn that much money even if she worked her whole life.
The skinny man kept a straight face and interrupted in an unfriendly tone, âYoung lady, you have to fix
your mistake. Youâll have to pay me back!â
The fat man continued to say, âThatâs right! Young lady, weâre not looking for trouble, and weâre not
asking for more than the vaseâs worth. We spent two million on this vase; we even have the receipt and
certificate. Look!â
He passed the receipt and certificate that they had prepared earlier to the woman. Then he said, âYou
seem educated. You canât deny the truth that you broke our porcelain vase.â
Dora took the certificate helplessly; she was on the verge of tears.
Women in the crowd could no longer stand the situation; she said, âYoung lady, youâll have to
compensate them for the vase you broke, but is it really worth two million bucks? Two million bucks?
That might be a fake certificate; theyâ re everywhere and easy to get!â
The crowd came to their senses, and most of them agreed with the woman. âExactly, you have no proof.
Was the vase worth two million bucks, even if it was an antique?â
