“I don’t care what’s your agenda, but this the Damien family. You have no right to decide if I’m the heir or not!” Lolita shouted at Grady as she stared at him indignantly.
“After my grandfather dies, I’ll be the heir apparent. This is my grandfather’s last wish, so who else would be qualified?” She looked resolute as she spoke.
For a moment, everyone was silent. Many members of the Damien family nodded in agreement unconsciously. ‘Indeed, it was Master Damien’s decision to put the Young Miss in charge. Who else could do the job other than her?’
Just as everyone was muttering under their breath, a deep voice sounded off. “Me!”
Then, a man stepped out from the crowd. It was Donnie with a sinister look on his face. This caused a stir amongst the Damien family.
“Second Young Master?”
“The Second Young Master is back?”
After Donnie escaped from Pearl City five years ago, his whereabouts had been a mystery. Everyone thought that he had died and they were surprised to see he had returned.
Lolita trembled and looked shocked. Eventually, she calmed down and thought, ‘No wonder Grady was so confident to tell me to give up my position as the heir. He brought my second uncle.’
Finally, she snapped back to her senses and was unable to hide her feelings of disgust.
“Donnie, you still have the cheek to come back?” she scolded Donnie.
Donnie hooked up with the mayor’s woman and embarrassed the Damien family; his actions almost caused the Damien family to be in huge trouble. Since then, Lolita no longer tolerated her second uncle.
Donnie smiled cunningly and took two steps forward as he retorted, "Lolita, back then, you were young and naive, so I was not bothered when you were disrespectful towards me. Now that you’re grown up, why are you still so ill-mannered?”
