Chapter 114
\nI’ve Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 114<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandfather…\u201d Franklin was about to see something, but Duncan stopped him and said coldly,<\/p>\n
\u201cLeave that woman.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearing the ice-cold order from his grandfather, suddenly, Franklin squinted at Duncan, \u201cDid you investigate on me, grandfather?\u201d<\/p>\n
His eyes became colder.<\/p>\n
Duncan snorted, \u201cYou started all of this and brought us such a strong enemy. I am the patriarch of this big family. Shouldn\u2019t I know the whole story? Or should I just let you keep bringing us troubles?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you afraid of the Shaw family, grandfather? You are afraid of a young lamb from the Shaw family. That\u2019s why people say the Cordon family is inferior that the Shaw family.\u201d<\/p>\n
Before Franklin could finish, Duncan grabbed the cane beside him and threw it towards Franklin in a tough way, \u201cShut up!\u201d Though the old man appeared to be tough outwardly, he was timid inwardly. But now his gray eyes opened wide and stared at Franklin, his grandson, in fury.<\/p>\n
Among his peer in the Cordon family, Franklin was the most prominent one. But he was lazy. Duncan had always thought his future was promising, but who knew that he would bring the Cordon family such a strong foe?<\/p>\n
Though people had been saying that the Cordon family was inferior to the Shaw family, no one dared to talk about this in front of Duncan. Now his face went red with rage…This was a big anxiety to him!<\/p>\n
Now, Franklin almost became a different person from who he used to be. When the cane was thrown at him, he was so stubborn that he didn\u2019t even move to avoid it and just let his grandfather keep beating him again and again.<\/p>\n
The butler behind couldn\u2019t bear to watch any more and persuaded Duncan by saying, \u201cPlease don\u2019t be angry, my Lord. Young master is still young and don\u2019t understand many things. With your instructions and teaching, he will be better.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then Duncan shouted to Franklin in rage, \u201cStopping seeing that woman!\u201d<\/p>\n
Franklin clenched his hands and stared at Duncan angrily, \u201cImpossible!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSay that again!\u201d The fire in Duncan\u2019s heart was just put out, now it began growing again, \u201cFranklin, you say that again!\u201d<\/p>\n
If you said so\uff01<\/p>\n
\u201cI said, I would never give up on her!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou!\u201d Duncan\u2019s chest was heaving heavily, \u201cFine! Fine, fine, fine! Your wings are tough now!\u201d While scolding Franklin, Duncan turned to fetch the cane that was thrown away by him before, \u201cElton, where is the cane? Cane!\u201d<\/p>\n
The butler standing behind was full of anxiety and kept hiding the cane behind his back. Then he looked at Franklin, \u201cYoung master, your grandfather was an old man now. Please just nod your head and agree to him.\u201d<\/p>\n
But Franklin\u2019s charming face was full of recalcitrance. He pursed his thin lips and said nothing.<\/p>\n
\u201cCane!\u201d Duncan stared at Elton furiously and reached his hand to him, \u201cElton! Give me the cane!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYoung master!\u201d Elton still wanted to persuade Franklin.<\/p>\n
Franklin gritted his teeth and said, \u201cElton, give him the cane.\u201d<\/p>\n
Duncan got more furious and his chest was heaving more heavily. He snatched the cane from Elton\u2019s hand and threw it at Franklin\u2019s back again, \u201cYou are tough now?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are out of leash now?\u201d The cane was thrown at Franklin\u2019s arm this time and left blood there.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrace is the first woman that I have truly loved. I will never give up on her. No matter how much pressure the Shaw family was giving to the Cordon family, I won\u2019t give up on her.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cA man must bear the consequences of his own acts. Caden did all those things to get back at me. Sine it is me who brought the Cordon family such a danger, then I will shoulder the responsibilities alone. I will enter the Cordon Group and confront Caden by myself.\u201d<\/p>\n
Duncan opened his mouth like he was going to say something. But after seeing the determination in Franklin\u2019s eyes and hearing the firmness in his tone, Duncan closed his mouth.<\/p>\n
Before leave, Franklin looked at the old man on couch again and said plainly,<\/p>\n
\u201cI am not my brother. I won\u2019t make the same choice that he made. I will not give up on the woman I love because of you or because of anyone. And I have the ability to protect my woman and my family.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Duncan raised his head. But he could only see the slender figure of Franklin disappearing at the door.<\/p>\n
The butler said to Duncan, \u201cMy lord, the young master…\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLet him go.\u201d Duncan snorted and waved to Elton, \u201cI am tired. You can go now.\u201d Elton left the hall. The face of Duncan was still tightened up, and something was going on in his mind…He would need to make a choice. But before that, he needed to see what his grandson could accomplish!<\/p>\n
Franklin was driving on a viaduct.<\/p>\n
Wind blew in through the window and messed up his black hair. Franklin dialed a number and put on Bluetooth headset, \u201cCaden, listen to me. I will not give up on Grace and I will defend the Cordon family. Lets\u2019 see who will win in the end!\u201d<\/p>\n
At the other end of the phone, Caden\u2019s slender fingers knocked on his phone case twice. Hearing what Franklin said, his lips went up. He answered in a deep voice, \u201cOkay then. Whatever you want to do, I will keep you company and fight to the finish. But you can never touch my things.\u201d<\/p>\n
They almost hung out the phone at the same time. Without redundant words, they both began to prepare themselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1319","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1319","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=1319"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
