Ever since he left his family, Darryl had been staying i n the village for a while and learned swimming on his own, hence his strokes looked rather awkward.
"Haha, look at Lyndon's son-in-law. Is he swimming using doggy style?"
"Oh, doggy style. That's ridiculous!"
Some of the girls started giggling.
Lily angrily bit her lips from hearing laughter from the shores. When she turned to look at Darryl's swimming style, she felt it was hilarious too.
It was obvious Darryl had never received any professional swimming training before, but he was so confident just now. Although he was not slow, his speed would definitely not be able to win the race. Other than the first-place winner, everyone would lose the bet.
Could she still believe in him? It was one billion bucks!
If they were to lose, the Lyndon family would need to fork out one billion bucks. What would happen then? Perhaps she would lose her position as the family leader too.
Thinking along those lines, Lily became worried. She tried her best to pick up her speed. However, it was impossible for her to win.
Suddenly, she heard some screaming.
"What's that?"
"Oh my, shark. Is that a shark? Why is there a grey fin i n the water?"
"Shark! Shark! Come back! Swim back here!"
The ten of them who were busy swimming stopped when they heard the commotion at the shores and looked around.
They saw a black-colored fin at the water surface about tens of miles away from them, swimming towards them at a very fast speed. 2
Shark! That was really a shark!
Lily, Yvonne, and the rest of the ladies started screaming.
Even the men were stunned looking at the scary fin in the water.
"Swim back to the shores!"
"Darryl, help us..." Lily shouted without further thoughts.
Darryl smiled knowing Kent had staged the 'shark' just to have a chance to be the hero. He should allow Kent to be.
Darryl did not swim forward knowing that.
At that moment, Kent swam forward and said, "Don't all of you worry, let me handle it. Big shark, come to m e!” He then charged towards the 'shark'.
"Wow!” "He's so brave! What a man!"
"He's really fearless!"
The ladies at the shores started admiring Kent's bravery and clapping for him. All of them admire the man who fearlessly faced the shark. 2
Lily was very disappointed.
Why would Darryl ignore her at the life and death crucial moments, while the fiance of others would jump into the danger...
