After hearing Gloria saying \u201cSorry for Grace\u201d, he suddenly smiled coldly, \u201cGloria, none of those under my leadership is a kind person.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That woman could make people feel sorry for her?<\/p>\n<p>&#8230; She still cursed and humiliated her former friend, who was already dead.<\/p>\n<p>Would someone like her make people feel sorry for her?<\/p>\n<p>He was so angry that it was inexplicable!<\/p>\n<p>He wasn&#8217;t that angry even when realized that she had become humble and pitiful!<\/p>\n<p>The Grace in his impression was proud, arrogant, and absolutely not the type who would humiliate a dead person!<\/p>\n<p>However, she had opened his eyes today&#8230; It made him unreasonably angry and disappointed.<\/p>\n<p>He didn&#8217;t understand what actually made him disappointed! Gloria&#8217;s forehead broke out in a cold sweat. A sentence from the man before her could decide her life and death.<\/p>\n<p>But&#8230; She didn&#8217;t regret it!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Shaw, I was wrong for disobeying your order. I am ready for the punishment.\u201d Gloria straightened her back.<\/p>\n<p>All of the sudden, Caden was distracted because he saw the Grace he remembered from Gloria.<\/p>\n<p>Gloria was as brave and responsible as former Grace, while her back was also straight and&#8230; Had no regrets!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGo to the torture chamber tomorrow morning for your punishment.\u201d he said that resolutely and coldly before lifting his long legs and walked away.<\/p>\n<p>He left Gloria leaning on the white wall with limp body. She only felt relieved after quite a while.<\/p>\n<p>Gloria heaved a deep sigh and wiped the cold sweats on her forehead with her hand&#8230; It&#8217;s a good thing that Caden was willing to let her get her punishment in the torture chamber.<\/p>\n<p>On the second thought, how was that stupid Grace doing now?<\/p>\n<p>Gloria didn&#8217;t hesitate to go to Grace&#8217;s ward while thinking.<\/p>\n<p>In front of the ward door, Gloria lifted her hand to knock.<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly, her hand stopped in midair and she listened carefully. That oppressive voice she heard just now was not her illusion!<\/p>\n<p>Behind the door, there was an oppressive and hoarse road&#8230; Yes, it&#8217;s the unique voice of that fool whose throat had been ruined.<\/p>\n<p>Oppressive and depressed like a wounded beast, who wouldn&#8217;t dare to whine loudly.<\/p>\n<p>Gloria didn&#8217;t take any step forward. She just stood in front of Grace&#8217;s ward without moving like a statue.<\/p>\n<p>After a certain time, that oppressive voice gradually disappeared. Gloria concentrated even harder to listen and confirm that the one in the ward had become quiet.<\/p>\n<p>Gloria did not enter in a hurry. She kept standing in front of the door for around 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>After 15 minutes, she raised her arm and knocked on the door again before entering.<\/p>\n<p>Gloria glanced at the person on the hospital bed, who was coincidentally looking at her too.<\/p>\n<p>Gloria couldn&#8217;t see Grace&#8217;s expression but she could guess that the stupid girl was crying quietly.<\/p>\n<p>She slightly sighed&#8230; That&#8217;s a good thing too.<\/p>\n<p>Someone who couldn&#8217;t cry had finally learned to cry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrace, do you still remember? I&#8217;ve told you that I was unworthy of living in S City. I treat everything coldly but treat you specially. It&#8217;s not because I&#8217;m kind, I said that I&#8217;m not a kind person but I still have some sense of humanity towards you.  Grace, I thought that you were similar to the past me. But now I&#8217;ve realized that we&#8217;re not similar at all.<\/p>\n<p>I just knew that you were born rich and you were the oldest daughter of the James family in S City.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, I was just a kid from a poor family.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been suffering since I was a kid, so I could overcome those things that happened afterward.<\/p>\n<p>But you&#8217;re different, you didn&#8217;t lack anything since you were a kid. You can still keep your unyielding character after all those humiliations! Grace, you&#8217;re way stronger than me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Someone who had gone through hardships since childhood and worked hard: and someone who had grown up in favorable circumstances, but got a heavy blow and was still able to live well&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>In comparison, Gloria felt that Grace was tougher than weeds. It was hard to imagine that a lady from a large group and wealthy family would have a strong characteristic of weeds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGloria,\u201d Grace didn&#8217;t lift her head up, she still buried her face in Gloria&#8217;s chest when she suddenly said, \u201cGloria, they said I deliberately made a plan to kill my best friend, Wallis, out of jealousy! She was Mr. Shaw&#8217;s beloved woman.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don&#8217;t believe it. You wouldn&#8217;t do something like that!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gloria said that indifferently.<\/p>\n<p>Grace suddenly cried heavily in Gloria&#8217;s arms.<\/p>\n<p>Caden&#8230; I was blind! Even someone who had only been with me for more than half a year understood me better than you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1298","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1298","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=1298"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
