Read The Ultimate Husband [by Skykissing wolf] Chapter 75 – “My car? Hmm…I always believed that
it’s just a means of transportation, so I bought a normal car, an Audi R8,” Darryl answered, under the
pressure of everyone’s gaze.
He was not wrong. An Audi R8 was entry-level among all the top sports cars in the world. But it was not
just a normal car.
Ow!
An uproar filled the room again. Everyone looked at him in disbelief that they thought they must have
misheard.
At the same time, both Samantha and Lily almost choked on their tea.
’How did he dare to say this? His boss lent him this car, and now he claimed it belonged to him? This guy
has thick skin,’ both of them thought.
Jimmy was startled. ‘An Audi R8? The asking price was almost two million dollars! Was he faking it?’
“Oh Samantha, you’re so nice to your son-in-law to have bought him such a nice car,” Melanie smiled,
recovering from the shock, as she mocked
Darryl and Samantha.
Of course, she did not believe Darryl could afford an Audi R8. It must have been a gift from Samantha to
make herself look better. After all, Daryl was just a useless nobody.
Samantha pulled on a straight face and did not respond.
However, Darryl spoke up and said calmly, “My mother-in-law didn’t give me this car. My boss did.”

Hahaha! What a joke!’ Everyone was trying their hardest not to laugh. A few ladies, however, could not
contain it and burst out laughing.
’Darryl was such a joke! The car did not even belong to him. Haha! Was he a comedian? Funny guy! ‘
everyone thought.
By then, Samantha’s face had darkened to the point that she needed a hole to hide into. Yet, Darryl was
not finished speaking. “Actually, the car belongs to me now. My boss was so impressed by me that he
gifted me with the car.”
’What? Why would a boss give his employee an Audi R8/’?
Everyone was in shock and confused.
“May I know which company you work for that hassuch good benefits?” Jimmy asked.
Darryl glanced at him with an unbothered look. “Just a small company.”
Jimmy was not convinced, but he did not want to continue the conversation either. Darryl was too much
of a liar.
With a faint smile, Jimmy took out a delicate present box and handed it to Melanie. “Mom, sorry I ‘ve
been busy in the past and wasn’t able to visit you as frequently. Thank you for trusting me with your
daughter. Here’s a little something that I hope you’ll like.”
“Oh, look at you! We’re a family. Why are you being so polite?” she said with a big grin on her face, like a
flourishing flower, as she took the gift.
“What’s inside, Melanie?” “Yeah, show us!”
A few people asked curiously, with looks of adoration.

Melanie opened the box happily with lights shining from her eyes. Once she opened it, a long Chinese
dress, studded with jewels, came into view.
In an instant, the room was in an uproar.
“This is so beautiful! Are those jewels real?”
“G*d! This is a very famous international luxury brand. I saw this in an international fashion show on TV
two days ago. A supermodel wore it.”
“This isn’t cheap,” Melanie asked Jimmy among the gasping.
He shook his head, smiling. “It’s nothing, just a few hundred thousand dollars.”
‘Few hundred thousand dollars? That was nothing?’
The ladies in the room blanked out. An international luxury brand, worn by a supermodel. If only they had
one themselves. Even Lily could not help but feel astonished, while Samantha’s face darkened even
more.
With everyone’s gaze on her and the gift, Melanie said in an almost embarrassed tone, “Oh Jimmy my
boy, I can’t take this. It’s too expensive, and the dress is too revealing!”

reassured her.
“Alright then. I’ll keep it. Melanie said, touching the dress and trying her best to contain her excitement
from showing on her face. “Not going to lie, my son-in-law is just like a son to me. He’s so mature and
reliable, unlike some people, who are full of conspicuous lies.”

Samantha had been holding her anger since the beginning. After what Melanie just said, she was
pushed to the edge. When she saw Darryl taking a sip of tea as if nothing was happening, Samantha
could not help but tremble in anger.
’This useless piece of rubbish, was drinking his tea at a time like this?’ she thought.
Samantha wanted to stand up and leave right away.
