Chapter 3504
Lolita bit her lips until it almost bled. She was staring at Darryl with a face filled with shock, and she felt
as if her legs had turned into jelly. She finally realized the man she had married was as profound as the
ocean itself.
Darryl exhaled lightly and half-smiled at Grady. "Are you still going to deny what you've done?"
"I admit it! I admit it!" Grady said. He was sweating profusely and found it difficult to stand. He then told
them everything—how he hired an assassin to kill Old Master Damien and how he colluded with Seth to
pin the crime on Darryl. 1
If he had a choice, Grady would not have admitted to his crime, but alas, he had no choice after he

move, he was sure he would end up with a fate worse than death if he did not admit to his crime.
Another round of uproar ensued in the hall.
"So, it was Master Grady all along!"
"I would have never guessed!"
"We were all fooled by him!"
They all turned their eyes on him. If Grady had not pinned the crime on Darryl, they would
not have gotten on Darryl's bad side.
"Grady! You're worse than an animal! Why did you kill my grandfather? why?!" Lolita
asked as she trembled and glared at him with hatred. She hated herself for not trusting
Darryl. It was all Grady's fault!
Grady was scared to death of Lolita's anger and discovered he had lost his voice, so he
continued to kneel on the ground, trembling.
"Lolita, sadness will not bring your grandfather back. Grady has already admitted to his
guilt, and you, as the Mayor, can decide on his punishment," Darryl said in a tone that was
meant to comfort her.
Lolita gestured for the guards to lock Grady in jail. All the guests started to panic. At that moment,
Darryl looked at them and said, " Do you have any more questions? If not, feel free to kneel before me
and apologize." He smiled and continued to say, "of course, you can choose to refuse but don't ever
think you can stay in Pearl City after this." 1

members from the six grand principalities had to bow before him, let alone the people of Pearl City?
The guests glanced at each other with ashen faces. They started to feel suffocated. Some of the more
cowardly guests found it hard to stand—their legs had turned into jelly. How could they not be shocked
when they had relegated Darryl to the role of a fugitive and then to discover he had become the man
who held the fate of all the citizens in Pearl city?
Finally, Mamie was the first to kneel. "I'm so sorry, Darryl!" Her previous arrogance had been entirely
replaced by fear. After that, they all fall to the ground one after another. They did it so grudgingly, but
that humiliation was minor compared to what would have happened if they had not kneeled and
apologized.
Darryl remained expressionless. He turned toward Donnie and asked, "Donnie, correct me if I'm wrong,
but I heard you stole Lolita's position as the head of the family."
