Chapter 84
\nI’ve Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 84<\/p>\n
As Cayne left, he grabbed the only humane personality of Grace away.<\/p>\n
He actually kept leaving his own mark on Grace\u2019s wound every time he kissed on it.<\/p>\n
Cayne was a womanizer, so he clearly knew what kind of imperceptable impact he brought to Grace by kissing on her wound, though Grace had no idea about it.<\/p>\n
And the point was that no matter how awful the noodles cooked by Grace was, Cayne still manage to finish them all no matter how spicy it tasted, though Cayne himself possessed mere endurance for pungency.<\/p>\n
So he won the hunting game and totally captured Grace\u2019s heart.<\/p>\n
The next day, Gloria made Grace to her office, \u201cDid you get the money?\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace shook her head.<\/p>\n
Gloria frowned, \u201cDidn\u2019t you ask for it?\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace still shook her head.<\/p>\n
Gloria noticed what was happening, \u201cWell, it hard for us to read through those rich guys\u2019 mind. Grace, did you regret?\u201d Then she continued, \u201cGrace, I got a bad news. Mr. Caden told me that he would be late for a while. But plus a good news, you are one more hour to get the rest of the money to meet his request.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gloria watched her phone to check the time, \u201cGrace, though I have five hundred thousand dollars, I am afraid I can\u2019t offer you the money.\u201d Gloria spoke frankly. She cached the amount of money for the sake of Grace, and that was the last thing she could do for Grace.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you, Gloria. I appreciated you\u2019ve helped me a lot. I know about Mr. Caden. So I would do the same thing if I were you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then Grace took the elevator to go upstairs. When the door opened, she was shocked to see the person standing in front of her.<\/p>\n
That one also paused in shock as he saw Grace.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrace\u2026\u201d That man called her gently.<\/p>\n
Grace\u2019s face turned ghastly pale, \u201cSir, I am afraid you are mistaking me for someone else. I am not Grace.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then she tried to close the door by pressing the bottom immediately.<\/p>\n
\u201cWait!\u201d The man stepped into the elevator, and he held Grace\u2019s hands, \u201cGrace, you must be Grace James! I am not mistaking.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSorry, my name is not Grace James.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGrace, I know you are Grace exactly. I am so sorry for doing that to you as your elder brother.\u201d<\/p>\n
The word \u201cbrother\u201d jarred her heard a bit.<\/p>\n
\u201cSorry, I don\u2019t know you, sir.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGrace, how are you doing? I miss you so much. I know I am a coward and I drowned myself in guilt every single day. Did anyone bully you in that pri\u2026in that place. Why you look so haggard?\u201d<\/p>\n
That man grabbed Grace\u2019s shoulder, \u201cLet me see you if you are\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat? What are you going to do with that sum of money?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause I own Caden a debt,\u201d Grace continued calmly, \u201cMr. Payne James, I think it is not a big deal for you to afford five hundred thousand, right? Now I am badly in need. Just do me a favor for the sake of our blood.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, Payne\u2019s face turned dark as he heard the name of Caden, \u201cSorry\u2026I can\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace felt her ears buzzing. She stared at her brother in disbelief, \u201cWhat did you just say?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Caden once warned us that either we abandoned Grace James or we sacrificed the whole family.\u201d Payne sighed in guilt, \u201cGrace, I am so sorry. Our parents are too old to afford such a blow.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace stared at Payne blankly, with her brain overwhelmed with Payne\u2019s words. After quite a while, she lowered her head helplessly, \u201cWell, thank you, Mr. Payne James.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGrace, please don\u2019t. I could do nothing about it either. Please forgive me.\u201d While speaking, he took out a stake of money from his wallet and handed to Grace, which seemed to be more than ten thousand dollars, \u201cGrace, keep it. You can buy anything you want with it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace stood still and did not take the money.<\/p>\n
Payne grabbed her hands and pressed the money on her palm, \u201cGrace, don\u2019t be willful. Just take my favor.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace felt her heart aching fiercely.<\/p>\n
\u201cBrother, though I am a bitch. But I will never accept the money from the James family!\u201d She replied with a hoarse voice and threw the stack of money in the air. The rain of money dropped in the elevator.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd this is the last time I address you as my brother.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1289","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1289","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=1289"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
