Chapter 3309
After more than ten seconds of complete silence in the hall, the Mayor of Pearl City,
Seth, finally stepped out slowly. He tried to appear imposing. "Sit through a trial
since you insisted that you are innocent."
Then, Seth waved his hand. "Guards! Take him down. Put him in prison for a public
trial tomorrow."
Sigh!
Darryl heard the command and took a deep breath. He nodded. "I can go through
the investigation, but I have a request. Grady here is extremely suspicious. I ask that
you detain him too."
Darryl was furious. 'F*ck! I was slandered, but everyone here seems to be deceived
by Grady! Even the Mayor thinks that I am the murderer.'
No matter what, Darryl was determined not to let Grady off so easily.
"Absurd!"
Seth became enraged, and he rebuked, "Areyou the mayor or am I the Mayor? You
are the biggest suspect. What has it got to do with Grady?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeth wore a solemn look, but a trace of conflict and coldness flashed across his eyes.
As the Mayor of Pearl city, Seth was close with all the prominent families in the city,
especially the McClaren family. Seth had massive exchanges of interest with the McClaren
family, so how could he possibly detain Grady.
Darryl was taken aback when he heard the Mayor’s sharp retort, but he quickly
understood the reason behind it.
'F*ck, the Mayor is on Grady's side. He seems to be in cahoots with the McClaren family. I
must have expected too much out of him to believe that he could be impartial.'
Suddenly, a man stepped out from the crowd and pointed at Darryl. Then, he shouted,
"You're just a live -in son-in-law, a scumbag who lives off your wife! How dare you
negotiate terms with the Mayor? What do you think you are?" 1
It was Jordan who spoke with contempt.
Jordan and Grady were friends. He was annoyed when Darryl had struck Grady in public.
Darryl sneered and said nothing!
Everyone else was also criticizing and condemning Darryl.
"How unruly is that live-in son-in-law who openly attacks the McClaren family's Young
Master." 1
"A scumbag like him should be detained right away!"
"That's it. We have to avenge Master Damien!"
Darryl stood in place, facing the criticism hurled at him in a calm and composed manner.
At the same time, Lolita stood by the side with an indifferent look on her lovely face. Grief
and anger were shown through her eyes.
Like everyone else, Lolita also thought that Darryl was the biggest suspect.
Darryl stood his ground and refused to admit his fault, which made Lolita very angry and
regretful.
'Had I known better, I would have never agreed to Grandfather's idea and married that
b*stard.'
The tension in the hall was growing!
"Darryl!"
Then, a heroic figure walked forward quickly. It was the captain of the guards, Thea.
When Thea got to Darryl, she said, "You must not be impulsive, let alone confront the
Mayor, why don't you do what the Mayor said? Rest assured that I will find out the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtruth before you go on trial."
Thea sounded anxious.
Thea was an upright person, and she was not involved with any of the prominent
families in the city.
Therefore, she could tell at a glance that Damien's death was full of doubts, and
Grady had obviously framed Darryl.
However, the Mayor and the McClaren family were close. The Mayor would favor the
McClaren family without a doubt. In that case, Darryl would suffer if he insisted on
facing off with the Mayor.
Thea and Darryl were not close, but strangely, Thea felt like she could not sit back
and do nothing when Darryl was being slandered.
"Thank you, Thea."
Darryl took a deep breath and gave Thea a grateful look as he said, "I'm grateful for
your thoughts. However, I think you should stay away from this matter. Even though
I'm just a nobody, I've always been an upright man, and I’ll never succumb to any
forces!"
Darryl stood firmly by his principles.
