Chapter 3285
Damien was very excited. Then, he thought of something and said happily, "Lolita, you are now the family's decision-maker, so you'll have to step forward and make the call. At noon tomorrow, there will be an auction in Jewel City. I heard that Duke Rowan might be there. The Damien family is invited. Why don't you go and have a look?"
'Auction?'
Darryl was excited to hear about the auction. He was surprised to learn that the Roland Continent had auctions.
Lolita seemed uninterested. She shook her head and said, "Grandfather, you know me. I never like that kind of event!"
Damien laughed. Then, he smiled and patiently persuaded Lolita, "of course, I know you well. However, now that you are the family decisionmaker, you have to go out and maintain many relationships. How can you not step up for the family? II
Damien looked at Darryl. "That's right; Darryl can go with you!"
After that, Damien patted Lolita's head and walked out of the hall with a smile.
Ugh!
Lolita sighed helplessly. Then, she said, "We'll go to Jewel City tomorrow. You'll just have to listen to my arrangement, alright?"
Countless celebrities and dignitaries would flock to such events. Lolita would never allow Darryl, who was just a live-in son-in-law, to embarrass the Damien family. 2
"Sure." Darryl nodded.

Meanwhile, at the McClaren family manor...
Grady was sitting in a magnificent-looking room; he was drunk. His face was extremely gloomy.
He had wanted to use Maverick to teach Darryl a lesson, but he did not expect Maverick to turn his back on him and help Darryl instead. Besides that, he was also forced to write a note that the McClaren family would withdraw their rights from several businesses and projects, causing the family to suffer heavy losses.
Grady spent the day drinking and venting his anger.
"Young Master!"
Suddenly, someone outside the door spoke respectfully, "You have a guest!"
Then, the door was pushed ajar, and the servant led a man in a black robe into the room.
The man was draped in a black robe and a black hood as if he was shrouded in darkness. He was aloof, and he had a powerful aura.
The person was called Lancelot, who was from the All Beings Sect. 2
A secret assassin organization had emerged in the Roland Continent in the past two months, calling itself the All Beings Sect. The members adhered to the principle of equality for everyone. As long as they were paid, they would kill just anyone.
Grady had suffered a great deal in Darryl's hands.
"Young Master Grady!"
Lancelot looked at Grady indifferently, "who do you want me to target?"
Grady hissed through his gritted teeth. "That old Damien and Darryl."
Then, Grady pointed to the two boxes of gold coins next to him. "That is the deposit. I will pay more commissions after it's done!"
Grady looked like a mad man when he said that.
' F*ck! No matter what sort of backing Darryl has, he must die! Damien, that old bloke, won't be spared too!
