Chapter 3318
"Mayor!”
An urgent voice rang at the nick of time, and then a heroic figure stopped Seth.
It was Thea.
"Thea?"
Seth frowned sulkily and said coldly, "What are you doing? Get out of the way!"
'Darryl is too arrogant! He must be killed for he did not take me and the others from the
prominent families seriously.'
At the same time, everyone around Grady frowned.
"Mayor!" Thea bit her lip anxiously and said, "Don't be impulsive. The law of the
principality stipulates that a death sentence should be done publicly. If you kill him here,
you are violating the law."
Thea darted a few looks at Darryl nervously; she was troubled.
She believed that Darryl was framed, so how could she watch him being executed?

Seth fell silent after listening to Thea. He put away his sword and exclaimed angrily,
"Guards! Take Darryl to prison. Gather all the people in the city tomorrow for the execution
early in the morning."
Seth wanted to kill Darryl right away, but Thea was right about the law of the principality
that stipulated that no one could execute the death penalty discreetly. As the mayor, he
should not break the law.
Clomp! Clomp! clomp!
Soon, a few soldiers stepped forward and left the manor with Darryl.
Darryl breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, gave Thea a grateful look.
Darryl did not expect Thea to offer him help at such a critical moment.
The people from the prominent families left after Darryl was taken away; only Grady
stayed behind.
"Lolita!"
Grady saw that everyone else had left. He walked up to Lolita in an ingratiating manner
with a faint smile on his face. "Master Damien is gone. We can't bring him back from
death. I hope you won't be too sad!"
Grady feigned a sad look on his face as his heart rejoiced.
'Darryl is now crushed. I have no threats and worries now.'
Lolita breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Grady, thank you for coming here today to
expose Darryl's sin. Otherwise, he would still be keeping his dirty secrets from me."
Lolita felt disgusted whenever Darryl's name was mentioned.
"No, don't mention it!" Grady waved his hand casually. "Master Damien was a respectable
elder; I should do it for him."
Then, Grady leaned in a little closer to Lolita. "Lolita, you should know how I feel about
you. Would you marry me after Darryl is executed tomorrow? Master Damien is gone, and
you need a man to take care of you. Don't worry. I will always treat you well."
Grady looked expectantly at Lolita, anticipating a positive answer.

the time being. Even if I were to marry someone, rd have to do it after I mourn my
grandfather's death for a year!"
'Did she say to mourn for her grandfather's death for a year?'
Grady was a little disappointed, but he pretended to be understanding and nodded.
"Lolita, you are such a dutiful granddaughter. Well, I will wait for you for a year."
'One year is not too long. I can do it.'
After that, Grady chatted a little longer with Lolita before leaving happily.

At night, in Pearl city prison.
Darryl was tied up in a dark and gloomy cell; he was unable to move around.
Darryl felt sad as he listened to the sound of the ocean in the distance through the prison
door. He was flogged multiple times during the day, and his wounds were nasty and awful.
Besides that, his acupoints had been sealed by Bonnie.
However, Darryl did not sit and submit to his ill fate. He gritted his teeth and endured the
pain as he activated his internal energy, trying to release his acupoints.
Huh!
