She then insisted, \u201cMr. Du, her poor appearance doesn\u2019t mean anything. She could still perform the show perfectly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Though Grace just arrived, she still figured out what was going on judging from their conversation. She started to notice that the show they mentioned must be something deadly.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Du stared at Grace with disbelief, \u201cReally, it she right about that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grace shivered a bit. It was the second time she was asked the same question in a day.<\/p>\n<p>She just smiled to avoid any eye contact with Mr. Du, and then she turned to glare at Ruby. Her look put Ruby in a rather awkward situation. Ruby then moved her head away from the gaze of Grace with her burning hot face.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCome on, that\u2019s a nice trade worth one million!\u201d Ruby forced her words, but in a rather timid tone. \u201cSince it is a nice trade, why don\u2019t you have a try?\u201d Grace refuted.<\/p>\n<p>Then Grace blinked her eyes and continued, \u201cTwo million.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour name is Grace, right? How dare you bargain with me?\u201d Mr. Du frowned. It seemed that this woman named Grace was indeed a gold digger as Ruby had mentioned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOffer me two million. I will do that show.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrace! What are you doing?! One million is a considerable amount. Don\u2019t ask for too much!\u201d Ruby was in the fear that once Grace offended Mr. Du, she would still have to be the one suffering the drowning show.<\/p>\n<p>Grace fixed her eyes on Mr. Du firmly, \u201cI need two million to risk my life. And I guarantee that I will do my best to suffice you in the performance, my honorable guest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When facing the money, Grace was rather sensitive and urgent for more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think your life worth that much.\u201d Mr. Du snorted.<\/p>\n<p>Grace just replied casually, \u201cThough my life is not worth two million, your happiness gaining during the show is worth that much, Mr. Du.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Du replied with a smile. In his eyes, this woman was much more interesting than that pure girl named Ruby.<\/p>\n<p>Grace lowered her head and did not even refute.<\/p>\n<p>It was known to all that she loved money. Grace smiled meaningfully and said when she raised her head, \u201cYes, I love money as the same as I cherish my life. No, exactly speaking, my yearning for money has overtaken how I cherish my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I will be the most dedicated actress as long as I got paid enough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, two million dollars. That is the deal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ten minutes later.<\/p>\n<p>Grace was thrown into the huge box, while she still insisted on wearing her tight dress.<\/p>\n<p>Her whole body had submerged into the water. The drenched dress became heavier when absorbing water. She felt her being dragged down to the bottom.<\/p>\n<p>Grace could still keep her eyes open at the beginning, seeing those middle-aged men staring at her with joy.<\/p>\n<p>What that evil man!!!<\/p>\n<p>At the moment Grace closed her eyes desperately, she seemed to see that man she refused to see try to talk to her&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>What shocked Caden the most was that he had never expected to witness such a breathtaking scene!<\/p>\n<p>His face turned solemn, and he pickup up the wine bottle beside him and threw it hard on that box. But the box still remained intact. Then he shouted at his bodyguards, \u201cSmash it!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Those bodyguards kept hitting the box with all kinds of tools, but there was no an even single crack on it. Caden turned to shout to Mr. Du, \u201cSay it! How to open it?!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Du was getting pale, \u201cThe box was sent by Mr. Franklin, and I don\u2019t know how to open it either. Believe me, Mr. Shaw. I don\u2019t even know you are in charge of the club. Otherwise, I won\u2019t have the guts to make such a deadly show in your club.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI did not even expect to have such an accident happening. Three minutes later, I was about to send my guard to get her out. But I don\u2019t know why I fail.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Shaw, how about that? I will pay you fifty million for compensation, plus ten million for the family of that woman.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Caden just sneered with his bloodshot eyes. He was totally enraged. Ignoring the begging of Mr. Du, he rushed to the restroom to get a mop and smashed it hard on the box. He tried so hard that even her hands started to bleed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoss, please take a rest. I and Ladd will do this job.\u201d Kirk\u2019s heart even skipped a beat when he saw the crazy action of Caden. But he was pushed away by Caden.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKirk, smash this goddamn thing with me! Ladd, call Humbert here! Saul, call all the men in the club to smash it with us!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Du was frightened, \u201cMr. Shaw, is it worth making so much ado for a woman?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hearing that, Caden glared at Mr. Du with his bloodthirsty eyes, \u201cLangston Du, she is my wife! You\u2019d better pray for her. Or I will kill you if she died!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1252","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1252","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1252"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
