Chapter 3242
Grady did not seem to care when he felt Damien’s cold treatment.
“By the way, where’s Lolita?” he said, smiling and he looked around.
Damien glanced at Grady and said coldly, “she has just recovered from her illness; her body is still weak and she’s resting. As such, she won’t be seeing anyone now.”
Grady felt a little embarrassed when he heard that. He calmed down and smiled as he said, “Well, it’s good to take a rest. In fact, the reason I’m here this time, besides visiting Lolita, is for another important thing.”
"Speak!" Damien did not want to waste time speaking.
Grady took a step forward and tried to impress him. " Old Master, I would like to discuss with you about my engagement with Lolita."
Darryl, who was beside them, was stunned. He looked at Grady seriously. ‘He’s engaged to Lolita? This man is obviously useless and it would ruin the rest of Lolita’s life if she married him.’
At the same time, Damien’s expression changed in an instant as his eyes filled with anger. “Grady, how dare you mention the engagement to me? when Lolita was ill a year ago, I never saw you visit. You even sent someone to call off the marriage. Now that she’s recovered, you’re here to talk about the engagement again. Don’t you think that’s ridiculous?”
He wanted to chase Grady out immediately. However, he considered Grady’s identity and held back.
Grady scratched his head and smiled pretentiously. “ Old Master, I was deceived by others. I was young and ignorant. Please forgive me for the sake of our family relationship. Besides, Lolita and I grew up together and I’ll love her forever once she becomes my wife.”
Then, he clapped his hands at the people waiting outside the door. Two of his followers walked in immediately, holding two boxes in their hands. Everyone was stunned when they opened the box.
The two boxes were filled with jewels, shining brightly. Everyone almost could not open their eyes. There were also pearls the size of fists, precious gems that were as pure as blood and exquisite pure gold ornaments. Each of these items were extremely expensive. 2
Even Darryl was impressed. ‘This man is willing to spend a lot for Lolita.’
“Master! These boxes of jewels are my betrothal gifts. Before I came here, I discussed it with my family and we shall find a good date for my wedding with Lolita. What do you think?” Grady smiled at Damien, looking confident.
‘I’m the only person worthy of Lolita in the entire Pearl City. Moreover, the Damien family industry has plummeted in recent years and is no longer as glorious as it once was,’ he thought.
As the Young Master of the McClaren family, he took the initiative to come over and talk about the engagement. He believed the old Master would not reject him.
The truth was, Grady was not really in love with Lolita. Although he was there to propose marriage, he was only interested in Damien’s family business. Damien’s son died unexpectedly because of an accident a few years ago and Lolita was his only family left. As long as he married her, he would be able to control the entire family.
Damien sighed in relief as he faced Grady’s overconfidence. He still looked expressionless as he said, suppressing his anger, “Grady, you can take back your gifts.”
