Chapter 111
\nI’ve Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 111<\/p>\n
Franklin sneered, \u201cYour possession? What does Mr. Shaw mean by that?<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know what I mean. So cut the chase.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf it is Grace that you are talking about,\u201d Franklin\u2019s smile disappeared, \u201cMr. Shaw, Grace is a free woman with her own will. She is no one\u2019s possession.\u201d<\/p>\n
There was not any emotion on Caden\u2019s charming face when he gazed at Franklin,<\/p>\n
\u201cI have warned you. For what is mine, even if I don\u2019t want it and throw it away, no one else can take it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Franklin\u2019s face turned sharp, \u201cGrace is a human being with her own will. She is bestowed with the right to choose her own husband. Caden, it\u2019s none of your business.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, maybe Mr. Shaw had a history with Grace that was unknown to the world. But that story is spilled milk. Caden, you said yourself that you didn\u2019t want her and threw her away, then why don\u2019t you just let it go?\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearing this, a tinge of coldness flashed across Caden\u2019s deep eyes. What did she tell Franklin?<\/p>\n
\u201cEven if you had a story, it was definitely not a pleasant one. Caden, if you are not blind, you can see that I can make her smile.\u201d Franklin continued, \u201cCan you say the same thing?\u201d<\/p>\n
Gloria could acutely sense that the boss beside her suddenly stiffened. Although it was not obvious, she stood close enough to him to capture his reaction.<\/p>\n
Unexpectedly! Caden squinted, \u201cDo you know about her?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAren\u2019t I doing that now?\u201d Franklin snorted.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut do you know how she used to be? Or what kind of person she was in the past?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter how she used to be. What matters is that Grace is a girl I cherish.\u201d<\/p>\n
Franklin knitted his brows, \u201cAre you in love with Grace too, Mr. Shaw? Why else would you block me here at this moment? Mr. Shaw, if you are in love with Grace too, we should compete on an equal footing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Caden was agitated, \u201cMe in love with her?\u201d He snorted, \u201cEven if she was the last woman in this world, I wouldn\u2019t fall in love with her.\u201d What a woman of easy virtue. Before It was Leno, and now it is the handsome, rich Franklin.<\/p>\n
How could a man as proud as Caden fall in love with a gold digger with easy virtue?<\/p>\n
Right now, Caden was too furious to think in a logical way. Behind all these aberrant emotions, did it ever occur to him that maybe he was in love with Grace?<\/p>\n
He was too proud to admit that he was deeply in love with Grace. His pride made him deny his love for Grace again and again.<\/p>\n
Seeing Caden\u2019s sudden mood swings, Franklin was a bit surprised… Is the man before him now truly the same as the Caden he used to know and who had always stayed rational, cold and indifferent all the time like an emotionless robot?<\/p>\n
For as long as thirty seconds, Franklin kept watching the man who was going through abrupt mood swings. Gradually, the surprise in his eyes faded away.<\/p>\n
Then Franklin\u2019s lips lifted up…Now that Caden said he would never fall in love with Grace, then he should just let it go. And as Caden\u2019s rival in love, Franklin was under no obligations to remind him, right?<\/p>\n
Gloria and Kirk were both no idiots. They perceived the oddness in the boss\u2019s behavior.<\/p>\n
Franklin smiled lightly, \u201cThen I guess I misunderstood Mr. Shaw. But I like Grave very much. Everyone says I, Franklin, is a genuine playboy.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd that I won\u2019t deny.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I take Grace seriously and will cherish her with all my heart.\u201d<\/p>\n
When talking about Grace, Franklin could not help but keep smiling. There was even smile glinting in his charming eyes. The softness and love in his eyes was about to overflow his car and spread to the Bentley that Caden was in.<\/p>\n
Somehow, anger, regret and grievance all spilled in Caden\u2019s heart…But these emotions were just so strange to him.<\/p>\n
A smile gradually appeared on the thin lips of the man sitting in the back of Bentley. But the smile couldn\u2019t compare with the cruelty in his eyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat if she is not like how you pictured her?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cKirk, is the land in Qinhuang island open for bidding tomorrow, as I remembered?\u201d<\/p>\n
Kirk, who was sitting in the driver\u2019s seat, answered, \u201cYes, boss. But Shaw Group has no intention to bid for it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNow we do.\u201d The man in the back sent forth coldness, \u201cAnd get it for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut…boss. On the surface, it is a competitive bidding, but Cordon Group will also join in the bidding. Everyone knows Cordon Group will win the bidding. It is almost in their pockets now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gloria wanted to kill Kirk at this moment…Kirk, couldn\u2019t you just think? If the opponent was not Cordon Group, why would boss want to win the bidding?<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s why we will win it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kirk came to understand immediately.<\/p>\n
The he regretted that his mouth moved faster than his brain. Clearly, it was Cordon Group that boss wanted to target at!<\/p>\n
But…all this for that woman?<\/p>\n
Kirk secretly peeked at the rear review mirror and saw boss\u2019s face, which shocked him so much that his hands on the steering wheel trembled.<\/p>\n
Boss\u2019s face was… horrifying!<\/p>\n
Gloria held her breath and asked, \u201cBoss…now that Grace was nothing to you, then why…why are you still targeting Cordon Group?\u201d<\/p>\n
In Gloria\u2019s eyes, what Caden was doing was all in an attempt to target at Franklin and push him to surrender.<\/p>\n
\u201cFranklin ignored my warning. If something is mine, though I throw it away, no one can pick it up.\u201d The cold voice said slowly, \u201cA playboy and an ex-con want to play Romeo and Juliet before me. Is their love really that strong and pure? Then I shall see what they will choose!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1316","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1316","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=1316"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
