Using his gloved hands, he applied more pressure on his grip on her chin. That strength was close enough to break her mandible.<\/p>\n<p>It was so painful that it brought tears to Ruby\u2019s eyes. She almost suspected that she heard her bone cracked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI-I-I\u2019ll say it.\u201d The person in front of her was a devil, so scary and evil. Because of this, she hated Grace once again\u2026Grace had promised her that she will help her in this!<\/p>\n<p>She didn\u2019t help her at all!<\/p>\n<p>She was only pretending to be a good person!<\/p>\n<p>She faked her kindness!<\/p>\n<p>Disgusting! Fake woman!<\/p>\n<p>Bitch!<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s the best when it came to acting all good!<\/p>\n<p>However, Ruby\u2019s thoughts didn\u2019t matter at this moment. She\u2019s still very scared of the devil in front of her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s Mr. Cordon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Cordon? \u2026Caden contemplated before raising his eyebrow. \u201cDo you mean Franklin Cordon?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes. I liked Mr. Cordon, but she bewitched him. If Grace knew her place, I would have held no grudges against her.<\/p>\n<p>But she\u2019s the opposite of one! She\u2019ll do anything for money. Mr. Cordon was fooled by her and he\u2019s still not aware of her true colour.<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t want her to continue fooling him. Wasn\u2019t the reason of her fooling him, was just because of his wealth?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When Ruby voiced out her opinion, she wasn\u2019t only hinting the reason she hated Grace. She also indirectly called out to the man in front of her to not be blinded by Grace\u2019s acting!<\/p>\n<p>Kirk frowned. However, he remained silent at the side.<\/p>\n<p>Neither happiness nor angriness was visible on Caden\u2019s cold expression.<\/p>\n<p>He stared down at Ruby from above and asked, \u201cDo you have any evidence that Grace seduced Franklin?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have!\u201d Rage flashed across her eyes as she spoke, \u201cI saw them hugging and kissing each other at the staircase!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Caden\u2019s eyes suddenly became alert, \u201cAre you sure you saw them hugging and kissing ech other at the staircase?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sure! I saw it with my own eyes! Both of them kissed so deeply as if they couldn\u2019t be separated from each other!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For a split second, Caden\u2019s breathing became inconsistent, but it was only that split second!<\/p>\n<p>Coldness slowly crept up on Caden\u2019s handsome face. The atmosphere of the room gradually became tense. Kirk had followed Caden for a long time, so he was the first one to sense his boss\u2019s change of mood.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not only this. Mr. Cordon treated Grace better than how he treated anyone else. Last time when Grace fell, Mr. Cordon held her waist to support her.<\/p>\n<p>If it\u2019s a normal person, how would they let a man hold their waist?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The surroundings suddenly froze. Caden\u2019s face turned colder.<\/p>\n<p>He squinted his eyes. \u201cHow are you so sure that it\u2019s not the other way around?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was like Ruby had forgotten her current situation at the mention of Grace. She snorted and vented out her anger.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow is that possible? What does Grace have? Is it beauty, is it body shape, is it deposition, or is it family background, or is it about her education?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe doesn\u2019t have anything. Maybe she has three ultimate tricks up her sleeves, that\u2019s why she\u2019s able to seduce Mr. Cordon. Or did she use her pitiful situation to gain sympathy? I mean, Mr. Cordon hasn\u2019t met someone like Grace before, so it\u2019s possible too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ruby didn\u2019t hold back her thoughts when she talked about Grace. She was really angry. Now that she had the chance to talk to President Shaw, she wanted to do whatever she could to expose Grace James!<\/p>\n<p>Kirk raised his eyebrows while watching Ruby. This woman had definitely forgot about how Grace pleaded to President Shaw on behalf of her, and now she\u2019s even trash-talking about Grace behind her back.<\/p>\n<p>Ungrateful.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnnoying.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Caden\u2019s one word was enough for Kirk. He immediately gagged Ruby and took her into the car.<\/p>\n<p>In front of the warehouse, including Caden\u2019s Bentley, all five black cars departed simultaneously.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Franklin was at his mansion located in S City.<\/p>\n<p>The five cars stopped neatly in front of the security house of the mansion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSend a message to Franklin Cordon that Caden Shaw has something to gift him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Upon seeing the situation, the security guard knew well that their presence was not to be messed around, and the aura that they gave off was unlike any ordinary people. In addition, as a security guard in this small area, he definitely heard of Caden Shaw before.<\/p>\n<p>He dared not to defy their orders and immediately called Franklin, \u201cMr. Cordon, a group of people appeared here and they want me to convey a message.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat message is it?\u201d Franklin asked lazily.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCaden Shaw is here to gift you something.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Franklin squinted his eyes and immediately came to his senses. His lips slightly curved upwards when he heard the message. \u201cLet him in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The security guard let them in and the cars finally stopped in front of the mansion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Shaw, it\u2019s so kind of you to bring a gift for me when you visit me,\u201d Franklin said in a mocking tone while leaning against the main door in his pyjamas.<\/p>\n<p>Caden smiled coldly in return. \u201cI didn\u2019t know that Young Master Cordon had the habit of narrating at his own door?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy pleasure, President.\u201d Franklin turned polite and invited Caden into the house.<\/p>\n<p>Caden immediately sat on the sofa once he entered the house while Franklin went to the bar and asked, \u201cWhat do you want to drink?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYoung Master Cordon, do you know this lady?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ruby was pushed onto the floor in front of Franklin as soon as Caden questioned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1268","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1268","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=1268"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
