Chapter 3473
‘Grady is too much! He brings his men here to give me trouble just because I refuse to marry him?’ Lolita thought
as she walked out quickly, with Laura following closely behind.
When she got outside, she took in a sharp breath of air when she saw what was happening in front of her.
Hundreds of guards had gathered in the open space outside the hall. Each of them looked aggressive with their
big swords and Grady stood in front of them leisurely.
On the opposite side were the members of the Damien family; they stood far away from Grady’s group of men as
no one dared to get any closer. Since Master Damien’s death, the Damien family was no longer as influential as
before in Pearl City. Naturally, they were unable to contend with the McClaren family.
Finally, Lolita snapped back to her senses. She took a step forward and shouted at Grady, "Grady, why did you
bring so many people here?! What do you want?”
Grady gave a faint smirk and made his intentions clear, "what do I want? You colluded with the bandits of Giant

much, so how could you do this to me?
"The Mayor is dead and the entire Pearl City is ruled by the Goddess of Light. I’m working under the goddess and
I will never tolerate the bandits rampaging the city. Lolita, even though I like you a lot, I cannot turn a blind eye
knowing that you are colluding with bandits."
Grady gave Lolita a chiding look as he spoke in a righteous tone, but he had a sinister glint
in his eyes. He knew his reputation would be ruined if Lolita told anyone what he did to her
that night, so he decided to make the first move.
Everyone in the Damien family was in an uproar. ‘What?’
"Did he say that our Young Miss colluded with the bandits?"
"Re- really?"
"Is that true?"
Lolita was furious when she heard those comments around her and trembled.
‘‘Grady, cut the crap! You know the truth better than anyone else,” Lolita shouted at
Grady.
She wanted to explain the truth of what happened on the beach, but her innocence would
be tarnished if she explained the incident to the crowd. Nevertheless, she would not allow
Grady to twist the facts.
Grady took Lolita’s scolding calmly and chuckled, "Did you say that I was talking
nonsense? Many people saw the bandits from Giant Bear Mountain send you back home.
You said you didn't collude with the bandits, so why did they send you home?"
All eyes were suddenly gathered on Lolita.

"I..." she blushed, not knowing how to answer the question. 1
Lolita wanted to tell everyone that it was Darryl who sent Osram and his men, but on second thought, things
would be even more complicated if Darryl was pulled into the picture. After all, he was previously determined as
the real culprit who killed her grandfather.
Grady was even more proud and pleased with himself when he saw that Lolita was at a loss for words to say.
"Lolita, I believe that it was just a split moment of confusion that led you to collude with the bandits, but having
said that, your mistake has cost you the position as the Head of the Damien family."
After that, everyone in the Damien family discussed the incident.
"I didn’t expect that Young Miss would collude with the bandits." "Oh, how unfortunate that this happened to the
Damien family..." "Young Master Grady is right. How can Young Miss continue managing the Damien family if
that’s how she behaves?"
No one from the Damien family present at the scene doubted Grady’s words. It was true that many people had
seen Osram sending Lolita home a while ago. 1
Lolita was shaking as she was forced to face the situation head-on. She even almost fainted. ‘How dare Grady
force me to give up my family inheritance? He’s too insidious and despicable!’
