Chapter 117
\nI’ve Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 117<\/p>\n
Franklin went back home and got another round of beating from his grandfather. He was wearing a white clean shirt that day, but after he walked out of the house, his white shirt was stained by blood.<\/p>\n
Elton chased out, \u201cYoung master, here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Franklin looked at the medical ointment in Elton\u2019s hand and the coldness in his eyes somewhat dispersed. He reached for the ointment and said, \u201cThank you, Elton.\u201d<\/p>\n
The butler hesitated and stopped Franklin before he got on the car, \u201cYoung master, why…why do you have to do this?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cElton, you don\u2019t understand.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is just a woman…you will have plenty more in the future, young master.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are many women, but only a Grace.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201c…The lord will never let you marry such a woman. Why do you have to insist, young master? The boss of Shaw Group is hard to deal with. Besides, you have never touched the business of Cordon Group before. Now you suddenly begin to manage it, of course it will be extremely hard.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut you have gone this far. To be honest, the lord was already very surprised by what you have accomplished so far.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut young master, I need to say this to you,\u201d The butler continued, \u201cWhen you were young, you liked to compare with the boy from the Shaw family in everything. And the seniors from two families were well aware of this back then.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut you always lost to that boy.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNow you and the boy from the Shaw family have both grown up.\u201d<\/p>\n
Elton didn\u2019t care for Franklin\u2019s self-esteem and said to him straightly, \u201cYoung master, I guess you have witnessed the capabilities and talents of the one from the Shaw family.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAmong all the men in the Shaw family, Caden was the most ruthless one. And he was with great talents and capabilities. Therefore, he was a man without feeling.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYoung master, in front of such a person, if you can\u2019t make him your friend, you shouldn\u2019t make him your enemy either. You should have known this.\u201d<\/p>\n
He knew but still he made the mistake.<\/p>\n
That was the worst kind of mistake.<\/p>\n
An intelligent man like his young master had made a mistake that he should never have.<\/p>\n
Elton couldn\u2019t help but hold hostility against that woman named Grace.<\/p>\n
Hearing what Elton said, Franklin slowly grasped his hands on the steering wheel…The he raised his head and smiled to Elton, \u201cElton, is everyone sure that I will lose?\u201d<\/p>\n
Elton didn\u2019t expect this question from Franklin, and all of a sudden, he didn\u2019t know how to respond, \u201cYoung master…That\u2019s not what I meant…\u201d<\/p>\n
Franklin smiled lightly, \u201cElton,\u201d He glanced at the sleeve of his shirt which was stained with blood, \u201cThe beating from grandfather with the cane was painful. But if I have to give up on that girl, it will hurt me more than a hundredfold.\u201d<\/p>\n
With that, he started the engine and waved to the butler whose face was full of astonishment, \u201cI know it will be hard for me to beat Caden now. But I believe the old saying, diligence is the means by which one makes up for one’s dullness. The situation is not that bad now. Though I couldn\u2019t remedy for what I have lost, the situation is getting better…Elton, it\u2019s not time for me to yield yet.\u201d<\/p>\n
Feeling complicated, Elton said, \u201cYoung master, is it really worth it? For this woman named Grace, you are willing to make your grandfather angry and endure the pressure from the company, the shareholders and the whole Cordon family. You are willing to sacrifice everything for her. Is it really worth it?\u201d<\/p>\n
Franklin pursed his lips and didn\u2019t hesitate, \u201cYes.\u201d He was so determined, \u201cElton, I have business in company. Goodbye.\u201d<\/p>\n
The car drove away slowly. Thing about Grace, Franklin\u2019 lips went up. He touched her thin lips. This was the first woman that made his heat beat so fast when he was kissing her…There were indeed many women in this world, but there was only one Grace.<\/p>\n
For her, he was willing to take the pressure from the company, the shareholders and the whole Cordon family!<\/p>\n
Never give up!<\/p>\n
At this moment, his heart was beating as fast as the speed of the car!… Caden, he was not even a match to me!<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
Half a month later.<\/p>\n
When Grace saw Franklin again, he had lost a lot of weight. But he looked more vigorous and there was happiness bouncing in his eyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cCome on! I want to show you some place.\u201d He dragged her into his car without more explanation.<\/p>\n
\u201c…\u201d Grace had always kept a peaceful life and never experienced strong mood swings. But at this moment, her face couldn\u2019t help but twitch out of suspicion. Then she lowered her head immediately to hide her expression.<\/p>\n
But Franklin caught this sight and his eyes smiled.<\/p>\n
Grace thought of what she intended to ask, \u201cMr. Cordon, you still haven\u2019t told me why I should take tonight off. Where are you taking me?\u201d<\/p>\n
With a braking, the car stopped steadily.<\/p>\n
\u201cHere we are.\u201d Franklin smiled to her, \u201cGet off the car and you will find out.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Grace was still in confusion, Franklin had got off the car and walked to her door before opening it for her. He said, \u201cGrace, come on.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace looked at the architecture before her, which was remodeled from an old factory. It was not extravagant…She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Then without any explanation, Franklin held her hand and took her inside.<\/p>\n
After getting in, Grace found out that it was a place for recreation and tea.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrace, the black forest cake here is delicious. We will order one later and you can have a try.\u201d<\/p>\n
While talking, Franklin took Grace into the innermost private room.<\/p>\n
Grace thought Franklin just hit upon a strange idea and wanted her to taste the dessert here.<\/p>\n
When they reached the door to the room, Franklin\u2019s eyes lightened up and he said to Grace, \u201cI want to introduce you to my best friends from my studying time in America.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Grace became nervous, \u201cI can\u2019t…\u201d<\/p>\n
But Franklin had already opened the door, \u201cGrace, let me introduce them to you. These are my best friends from my studying time in America. Leon and Cayne.\u201d<\/p>\n
The door opened, and three pairs of eyes froze.<\/p>\n
All of a sudden, Grace\u2019s face turned pale!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1322","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1322","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=1322"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
