Chapter 119
\nI’ve Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 119<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay then, ask Mr. Cordon to come here. And he can see that his so-called best friend doesn\u2019t give a shit about his feelings.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace wanted to laugh. Why did this man force his opinions upon her? Why did he think she didn\u2019t want Franklin to know everything?<\/p>\n
Oh…Maybe it\u2019 was because she was a disgraceful woman in his eyes!<\/p>\n
\u201cYou…\u201d Cayne\u2019s eyes changed. He looked at her with more distain, \u201cYou are a disgusting woman. When you said I didn\u2019t care about Franklin\u2019s feelings, you meant that you didn\u2019t care about his feelings either. Franklin was so in love with you. I guess his has put his heart in the wrong place.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace said to herself in her heart: Yes, he did.<\/p>\n
\u201cI agree with you, Mr. Filocci.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cayne didn\u2019t expect that Grace would admit it with no excuse!<\/p>\n
He was so angry now! He felt angry for Franklin too!<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t gloat yet\uff01I will let he know what kind of a woman you are! A woman such as you is like a weed. I will never have such a weed like you stay beside my friend and hurt him! \u201d<\/p>\n
Then he let go of his hand.<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
Grace and Cayne almost got back to the private room at the same time.<\/p>\n
Franklin\u2019s eye look changed. After Cayne took his seat, he raised his head and met with the darkened eyes of Franklin.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t smell of cigarette.\u201d Franklin moved his thin lips and stared coldly at Cayne who was sitting across from him.<\/p>\n
Cayne said he went out for a cigarette, but he didn\u2019t smell of cigarette at all. Besides, he and Grace came back to the room at the same time. Thinking about the seemingly offensive words Cayne said to Grace earlier, Franklin remembered that Cayne left the room right after Grace did.<\/p>\n
All of a sudden, his face got colder.<\/p>\n
Leon was about to drink his coffee, but now his hand paused.<\/p>\n
\u201cI went to greet Miss James. After all, we met in Royal Club and are old friends, aren\u2019t we?\u201d<\/p>\n
Franklin squinted, \u201cI know she works in Royal Club. You don\u2019t need to make a fuss about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cayne wanted to laugh. Then he reached his slender fingers to take out his cigarette box and lighted up a cigarette before Grace. He smoked it slightly.<\/p>\n
Franklin raised his chin and said to Cayne, \u201cYou don\u2019t need to go out for it now?\u201d<\/p>\n
What were you doing before?<\/p>\n
He knew it was weird. When did a man like Cayne start to care about what others think?<\/p>\n
Leon sensed something was wrong and stood up immediately, \u201cIt just occurred to me that I still had something to deal with. But I drank some wine before. Cayne, why don\u2019t you drive me home?\u201d<\/p>\n
Then he dragged Cayne and left, \u201cMiss James, see you next time.\u201d<\/p>\n
After they left, Franklin turned to Grace and checked her from head to toe, \u201cWhat did he do to you?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen what did he say to you?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cJust a greeting.\u201d<\/p>\n
Franklin frowned and looked at her. Obviously, he didn\u2019t buy what she said.<\/p>\n
Grace didn\u2019t explain further. It was up to him to believe her or not.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have been busy recently. When things get better, Grace, after I handle everything, I will take you out of Royal Club.\u201d<\/p>\n
Out of Royal Club? …For a moment, what he had said tugged on her heartstrings.<\/p>\n
But if it was so easy to leave Royal Club, she would have done it a long time ago.<\/p>\n
If Caden refused to let her go, even if she left Royal Club, he would find her. Besides, the only thing that could prove who she was, her ID card, was in his hand. If she left now, she couldn\u2019t go anywhere without her ID card.<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
After Cayne left, he didn\u2019t go home. He met with a noble lady in a cafe. They talked, and by the time they parted, the lady kept nodding and said, \u201cDon\u2019t worry. I will help you and make your friend see that woman as who she truly is. He will know what she is truly up to. But don\u2019t forget about what you promised me…one-night stand…\u201d<\/p>\n
Cayne smiled and whispered to the lady\u2019s ears, \u201cOf course. How can I resist a beauty like Miss Warner?\u201d<\/p>\n
The deep voice and charming face that would fascinate any woman made Miss Warner feel powerless. She continued, \u201cThen it\u2019s settled. I will take actions tomorrow night. You should be there to witness it tomorrow in case you say I don\u2019t do a good job later.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHow can that be? Miss Warner is so beautiful and capable. Of course, I trust your ability. Besides…even if you mess up, I can\u2019t mess up on such a beauty like you.\u201d<\/p>\n
What he said amused Miss Warmer.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen I shall wish you a success now.\u201d With that, Cayne turned around and walked away. In the brown pupils of his eyes, a tinge of disgust flashed over.<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
The night.<\/p>\n
\u201cWow, it really is Grace James! I didn\u2019t believe it when you said that. But now that I look at her carefully, she is indeed Grace James.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut how did Grace James…become like this?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, how, Sister Grace?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou still call her sister? How can you call someone who was in jail \u2018sister\u2019?\u201d Celina smiled. Then she seemingly thought of something and asked Grace with concern all over her face, \u201cGrace, when did you get out? And how? Why didn\u2019t you tell us? We used to friends, and you didn\u2019t even tell us when you got out. Or we could have arranged a party to welcome you back.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace\u2019s face turned paler and paler…They could have arranged a party to welcome me back? She raised her eyes and stared at Celina, who was apparently trying make a fool out of her in front of these people.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut that\u2019s fine. Now that we met today, we should make it up.\u201d Celina held Grace\u2019s shoulder and said, \u201cCome on, Grace. Let\u2019s have a party to welcome you back. Come on.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo!\u201d Grace remained still and refused to follow them.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow can you be absent? This is a welcome party specifically prepared for you. How can we carry on with it without the protagonist?\u201d While saying this, Celina dragged Grace and shoved her into the back seat of her car, \u201cGrace, if you don\u2019t come with us, you will make a fool out of us.\u201d<\/p>\n
With that, she took out her phone and said, \u201cAnd if you make a fool out of us, I will send out this video.\u201d<\/p>\n
She put the phone before Grace.<\/p>\n
Suddenly!<\/p>\n
Grace couldn\u2019t believe her eyes, \u201cHow did you get this! How did you get this! How did you get this video!\u201d Her face turned pale and she cried out, \u201cGive it to me! Give it to me!\u201d<\/p>\n
Celina tossed her phone to another person and said, \u201cYou want it? Take it, and I have a copy.\u201d Then she smiled coldly and crossed her arms before her chest. Clearly, she was insulting Grace. She said, \u201cI will ask you one more time now. Are you coming to this welcome party?\u201d<\/p>\n
To go or not to go?<\/p>\n
Grace looked pale and said, \u201cYes, I will go. Give me the copy.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAbout that…I shall decide after the party.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHow did you…get this video?\u201d The video in which she was badly defiled made Grace hurt like hell. Her heart was already torn to pieces, but this video made her relive the suffering she went through in those three years.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t need to know about this.\u201d Actually, she got the video by accident.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat on earth do you want today?\u201d<\/p>\n
Celina smiled, \u201cWhat do we want? You will know when we arrive!\u201d Then she continued, \u201cYou don\u2019t know how little you are worth and want to turn from a sparrow to a phoenix! Then don\u2019t blame me for this, I was only tasked by someone else.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTasked by someone else…whom?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1324","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1324","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=1324"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
