Chapter 4839
Everyone insulted Derrick. To them, it was impossible for him to trap Herod and other
mountain bandits.
"Thanks to the ancestors for protection..."
At that moment, Old Master Stanford knelt on the ground, trembling, and bowed to the
ancestors.
"Thanks to the ancestors who manifested, or else, the Stanfords would have been dead."
Old Master Stanford was at old age. Hence, he was deeply convinced about the illusion of
the manifestation of the ancestors.
Darryl squinted and looked at Selina. "How about that? Young Miss, you should believe me
by now. What I said earlier was true, and none of them were lies. Young Miss, I'm sure
you'll also keep your promise about that bet.
For a moment, Selina bit her lips as her face turned red. She was baffled.
As a matter of fact, Selina was reluctant for Derrick to be her husband. In the beginning,
she had fought with Old Master Stanford, but she had to accept her fate as he had already

Until then, Selina had seized the opportunity to make a bet with Derrick to get rid of the
bastard.
However, Selina had not expected that Herod and the mountain bandits were indeed
trapped in the ancestral hall...
Darryl began to smirk at the speechless Selina. "Young Miss! You wont deny what you said,
right?"
"I..."
Seeing Darryl approaching, Selina became embarrassed and stomped her feet. "Say
whatever you want, but I wont marry you no matter what."
Immediately, Old Master Stanford could not help but scold her.
"Selina! Watch your manners. Your wedding tomorrow has long been fixed. How could you
just call it off? Plus, Derrick has contributed to saving the Stanfords from a catastrophe.
"Though it was Stanford's ancestors who manifested and trapped Herod and the mountain
bandits here, if it weren't for Derrick who led them to the ancestral hall, the mountain
bandits wouldn't have been trapped so easily. So, your wedding should not be canceled!"
As Old Master Stanford spoke, he looked at Darryl with approval.
In fact, when Darryl first took on the identity of the live-in son-in-law, Old Master Stanford
did not think highly of him. He merely wanted to organize an auspicious occasion to ward
off evil spirits so that his daughter's sickness could be improved.
'Although Derrick doesn't have great ability, he's considered our lucky star.'
Hearing that, Selina was exasperated that she was almost in tears.
"Dad, do you not care about how your daughter feels?! I don't want to get married..."
Then, she ran away.
"Young Miss!"
Selina's maid, Sheniqua, cried out and chased after her.
'Uh...’
At that moment, Darryl felt extremely embarrassed. He merely wanted to make a bet, but
he did not expect Selina to react so strongly.
Gerald, who had been watching from the sidelines, could not help but shout, "Old Master! I
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthink Young Miss' analysis made perfect sense. It must be that bastard Derrick who led
Herod and the mountain bandits here to rob the Stanfords. Otherwise, how would Herod
know that the Stanford family has a jade ruyi scepter?" "As for them being trapped in the
ancestral hall, it was all the ancestors' effort and nothing to do with Derrick. I think we
should just cancel tomorrow's wedding and send Derrick to the authorities. In prison, he
would certainly admit to all his wrongdoings."
In the end, Gerald pointed at Darryl and growled viciously, "You bastard, how dare you
stuff the rag into my mouth! I swear I'll kill you!’
Immediately, Darryl scurried over and slapped Gerald.
Darryl did not exert any force, but it gave off a loud smack. Gerald grunted, turned around
on the spot, and sat on the ground.
Gerald held his face and looked at Darryl in a fury. "You... How dare you hit me?" Half of his
face was severely swollen.
At the same time, the others were shocked and stared at Darryl in shock.
'This gambler is usually afraid of Gerald. What's gotten into him? He even dares to hit
Gerald.'
