The ultimate husband

Read The Ultimate Husband [by Skykissing wolf] Chapter 271 – Miles chimed in, insulting Darryl. “A

mere live-in son-in-law—how dare you question Declan’s elixir? You’re just jealous, aren’t you.”

Darryl snickered as he looked at Declan.

“Indeed, the elixir you gave her was the Spirit Petrification Elixir. However, did you know that this elixir

needs to be kept in a dark, cool, and humid environment? It cannot be exposed to the sun. The Spirit

Petrification Elixir is originally a deep dark yellow color. It turns light yellow when exposed to the sun.

Since yours is light yellow, I assume it was already exposed to the sun by the time you purchased this

from the wandering cultivator,” Darryl explained nonchalantly. The room fell silent.

“So what if it has been exposed to the sun?” Declan questioned with a laugh. “Is it still effective?”

’This pretentious Darryl—thinking that people would believe the nonsense he spews.’

Darryl shook his head. “I don’t think it will lose its effect, but there will be some changes in its

properties.”

“What would happen if one consumes it?” Declan sneered.

“I wouldn’t’ know,” he chuckled.

Indeed, Darryl does not know. He had only skimmed through the Spirit Petrification Elixir section in the

Infinite Elixir Manual, not studying it thoroughly. He does not know what would happen

if someone consumed it after it had been exposed to sunlight.

“Haha! you can’t explain, can you?” Declan snickered, seeing how Darryl could not muster an

explanation. “You can’t go on with your lies anymore. Here I thought that you were an expert.”

The others burst into laughter. This pretentious man was such an attention-seeker.

Katherine sighed as she consumed the elixir, refusing to believe Darryl’s words.

Miles stood up and jeered, “Daryl, eve one knows who you are. I’m begging you; stop pretending to be

an expert. Look at you! You can’t even make up any lies. I’m worried about you.”

Haha!

The entire room erupted in laughter once more. “Let’s not get worked up by this live-in son-in-law,”

Daisy detested. “He’s just a know-it-all clown; an absolute idiot.”

Katherine glared at Darryl with disapproval. She did not think that he would dare to make such a thing

up. What a disappointment he was.

Everyone ignored Darryl after the debacle, continuing to drink and chat with each other.

Darryl sat to the side. Feeling bored, he left to the washroom. As he exited the room, he caught a

glimpse of Miles and Declan standing in a corner in a secretive deep conversation.

He crept closer to them out of curiosity to eavesdrop.

“B****y h**l. Daisy, that b*tch! She ordered Romanée-Conti. I’m afraid this meal is going to cost about

twenty million bucks or more,” Declan said solemnly as he lit a cigarette.

Miles jumped when he heard the figure. “That much?!” His own pocket money was about tens of

thousands of bucks per month. This meal costs twenty million, possibly more.

Declan took a puff of the cigarette. He rolled his eyes and said, “You think? F*ck, before I enrolled in

Hexad’s I just asked for twenty million from my dad. That might not even cover this meal!”

Declan was worried. He thought that buying a meal for his entire class in Donghai City’s best restaurant

would only cost about a million bucks or so. Who knew that eating at the Oriental Pearl would be way

beyond his expectations? The dinner was coming to an end, but he could not afford it. It was too

embarrassing.

Miles pondered momentarily, and his eyes lit up with hope.

“Declan, don’t worry,” he confidently reassured. “I have an idea! When it’s time to pay, we’ll act drunk

I’m sure the other rich brats in our class can afford to foot the bill.”

“Of course, don’t put your hopes on Darryl. That live-in son-in-law is a loser.” B****y h**l.

‘What the h**l did I do to deserve that?’ Darryl thought. He could not help but swear under his breath.

“Yeah, f*ck that Darryl,” he jeered. “All I did was give Miss Katherine an elixir, yet he had plenty to say

about it.”

He returned to the topic at hand. He shook his head and asked, “How are we going to act drunk? This

meal costs a lot. Who can afford it?”

School had started two days ago, so Declan knew about each classmates’ family financial status.

Though they were all rich, only a few of them could afford to spend twenty million bucks in a short

period.

Miles scratched his head, lost in deep thought. He suddenly slapped his t***h and exclaimed, “Yes!

How about Circe Newman? She’s the daughter of Kyoto’s Newman family. Twenty million bucks is a

small amount to her. When we act drunk—and if no one coughs up the money—I’m sure she will offer

to pay!”

“I don’t think this is appropriate,” Declan frowned.

Circe was the Belle of Hexad’s. She was a goddess among her classmates. Expecting her to pay on

his behalf was too embarrassing, not to mention emasculating.

Miles read his thoughts. “Don’t worry, just apologize to Circe in school tomorrow,” he offered. “Tell her

that you were drunk and that you should’ve paid for it instead. This can be an opportunity for you to get

closer to her. You could even use the excuse of paying her back to get her phone number!”

Declan’s eyes sparkled while hearing the plan Miles thought of. He patted his back and smiled, “You’re

a good man to even think of such an idea. Let’s do it!”

Haha!

He could solve his current problem and get the contact of a gorgeous girl in the process—k*****g two

birds with one stone!

They happily went back into the dining room.

Darryl—who listened to their entire conversation— suddenly had an idea. This guy does not have

enough money yet he wants to buy a meal for everyone at the Oriental Pearl? Such a phony. He even

expected Circe Newman to pay for it? Dream on.

With that, Darryl returned to the dining room.
