Chapter 3266
Grady looked unhappy. “Lolita, this is your fault. I heard your plantation
caught fire this morning, so I came over to take a look.
I didn’t expect you to blame me for it.”
When he said that, Grady looked serious, but his eyes looked hideous.
Lolita had guessed correctly; the plantation was set on fire by Grady's men.
He came over just to laugh about it. she was skeptical when she saw Grady
looked serious.
Grady took a step forward and said, “ Lolita, I heard the Damien family
signed a partnership agreement with Mister Cunning’s wine refinery
company a few months ago. In the future, you’ll be providing them with the
grapes to make wine. But now, your grapes are all ruined. If the Damien
family isn’t able to supply them grapes, it’ll be a breach of contract.”
Lolita’s expression changed as she replied coldly, “What are you talking
about?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhile she appeared calm, on the inside, she was panicking. Grady was right; the Damien
family had signed an agreement with Cunning’s wine refinery. Every year they will provide
the company with grapes to make their wine.
The fire destroyed all the grapes that were about to mature and the Damien family was
expected to deliver them in a few days' time. They will have to pay a huge compensation
bill if they aren’t able to deliver it in time.
“Lolita, don’t always act so cold towards me. I’m here to help you sincerely this time. Our
families are friends,” Grady said, smiling.
Then, he continued, “I just received news that Mister Cunning will hold a private banquet
in Pearl City at noon today.
Perhaps you’ll get a chance to meet him.”
Lolita's body trembled when she heard that and could not help but say, “Really?"
No matter how the fire started, those grapes were still destroyed. If there was a chance to
meet Cunning himself to explain the situation, perhaps she might be able to reduce the
loss slightly. However, Cunning was a famous man, so how would she be able to meet him
so easily?’
When Grady saw Lolita seemed interested, his smile widened. He approached her slowly
and said, “In the past few years, the McClaren family has worked with Mister Cunning
many times. He’s a good friend of ours. If you’re willing, I could take you to the banquet
tonight?” 2
Then, he carefully observed the change in Lolita’s expression.
The truth was, the McClaren family and Cunning did work together before, but he had only
met Grady a few times. They were not friends. Grady said that just to create an
opportunity for him to be with Lolita.
Grady planned to get Lolita drunk once she attended the banquet. As long as she was
drunk, he could do whatever he wanted.
Damien was old, so there was no need for Grady to be worried at all. As for Darryl, he
would not take him seriously. ’
As he thought of Darryl, Grady became furious and clenched his teeth.
‘Sh*t, I was violently abused by Darryl in front of so many people at the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwedding yesterday. I was humiliated. I must seek revenge for this.’
At that moment, Lolita hesitated as she bit her lips and said, “You’ll
introduce me to Mister Cunning? Grady, why are you being so kind?”
Grady shook his head and said solemnly, " Lolita, why don't you believe
me? Don’t forget, our families were friends. There have been other
business connections between our families all these years. The McClaren
family will suffer losses if anything happens to the Damien family because
the plantation is burned. So, me helping you this time is actually also
helping myself."
Grady acted perfectly. His words were full of emotion and could not be
refuted.
Lolita pondered for a few seconds before she finally nodded and said, "Fine,
I will go to the dinner with you."
‘Ha-ha! She took the bait.” Grady was overjoyed.
“It’s getting late. We can’t delay things any more, so let’s go quickly! I’ll
wait for you in the car,” he said in a rush.
