Chapter 120
\nI’ve Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 120<\/p>\n
\u201cGrace, you are so funny. Do you still think you are the Miss James in the past? And I have to answer whenever you ask? Haha.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace couldn\u2019t argue with what Celina said, because it was a fact.<\/p>\n
She followed them out of the car, but stopped her steps suddenly.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy did you stop?\u201d Celina turned around and peeked at the woman who suddenly stopped. Her delicate brows frowned…She was still not used to the Grace like this. But then she thought about something else…and it occurred to her that this was what she should look like. She stopped being the Miss James in the past a long time ago. Now she was just a slut in Royal Club who earned her living by selling smiles.<\/p>\n
Celina smiled lightly, and withdrew her eyes set on Grace…The Grace now was not worth of her sight. She was just a coward woman living in gut like a mouse. This woman would never be the Grace James in the past again.<\/p>\n
From now on, no one would compare her to Grace.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was… a party already going on.\u201d Grace said.<\/p>\n
After hearing this, Celina laughed, \u201cGrace, are you really that na\u00efve to believe we will throw a party just for you today? A party going on is not strange at all.\u201d Then her face changed instantly, \u201cAre you going in or not?\u201d<\/p>\n
While saying this, she started playing her phone in front of Grace with one hand.<\/p>\n
What she meant was clear: If you didn\u2019t go in, I would be angry. And if I got angry, I would send out the video.<\/p>\n
Under the streetlamps, Grace\u2019s face looked as pale as that of a ghost. She took a deep breath and said, \u201cYes.\u201d She continued to squeeze out four words, \u201cI will go in!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you still remember this place?\u201d Celina smiled and walked near Grace, \u201cI still remember, at the night of your eighteenth birthday, you stood here and screamed out a sentence in front of all young masters and ladies from top families of S City. Grace, what is it again?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOh! When people get older, their memories worsen. Now that you are here again, why don\u2019t you scream that sentence one more time?\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace looked pale. She once created the proudest memory of hers in this place, but now, it became the symbol of her shame.<\/p>\n
At that night, in front of every one, she screamed out, \u201cCaden, I love you. And I will make you fall in love with me!\u201d<\/p>\n
Back then, she was young, proud and afraid of nothing. She raised her chin lightly and looked at the man who stood out among people. After hearing what she said, the man said nothing and turned around to leave. But still, she was confident and too proud to bow her head.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh…look at your sad face. Never mind.\u201d Celina was so nice and thought for Grace. She said to her, \u201cCome on, stop delaying.\u201d She wanted to finish the job promised to Cayne sooner…At the thought of his gorgeous face and slender figure, Celina could almost hear her heart beating.<\/p>\n
This was a club where there was always a party going on. Grace tried to bow her head and avoid being recognized by people in the party…She couldn\u2019t even imagine what would happen to her if she was recognized by someone.<\/p>\n
But fortunately, Celina seemed to have no intention of having others recognize her. Hidden among a group of noble ladies, Grace hung her head and followed Celina through the crowd. If she occasionally touched others\u2019 clothes on the way, she just said \u201cSorry\u201d immediately and then kept following Celina without raising her head.<\/p>\n
Celina was walking quickly, which made it hard for Grace to follow her. Gradually, people around got fewer and fewer. In the end, there was no one else around. Grace looked up carefully and saw that Celina was somehow already at the end of the corridor on the second floor.<\/p>\n
In front of a door with two heavy metal knobs, Celina stopped. The she snorted with ridicule, \u201cGrace, here we are.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace raised her head in silence and looked at the heavy door in front of her. She was now well aware that it was not a welcome party today…it was…a party of trap!<\/p>\n
Then she looked at Celina. Grace\u2019s eyes were full of peace now. The terror that covered her eyes before was now nowhere to be found.<\/p>\n
When certain that she was the protagonist of this party of trap, Grace became peaceful…If she couldn\u2019t get away from it…then she should just get on the stage. This was one of the things she learned in those three years.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour eyes are so annoying!\u201d Watched by Grace\u2019s peaceful eyes, Celina was somehow agitated. She glared at people standing beside,\u201cAre you deaf? Push her in!\u201d There was glowing wrath on the delicate face of Celina…She didn\u2019t know what got into her, but she just hated the way that Grace Bitch looked at her!<\/p>\n
Four steps, five steps, six steps…She didn\u2019t have anything to support her so that she wouldn\u2019t fall. But she just didn\u2019t want to fall down in front of these people. She won\u2019t!<\/p>\n
What she could do was to keep staggering. As long as she hadn\u2019t fallen on the ground, she would stride forward without hesitation. And if she kept moving, she would not fall at the moment…While thinking like this, she carried on with her plan.<\/p>\n
But as a consequence, though she didn\u2019t fall down at the moment, her injured foot kept hurting badly!<\/p>\n
In front of everyone\u2019s eyes, the woman who should have fallen down awkwardly a long while ago kept staggering for quite some time. Finally, Grace propped up on the edge of tea table and avoided a big stumble…But still, the scene was not pretty.<\/p>\n
Right now, cold sweat started oozing out of her forehead. But she smiled…The scene was not pretty, so what?<\/p>\n
She turned around and looked at Celina behind her, with a tinge of glory in her eyes…She did it! At least this time, she didn\u2019t fall awkwardly as they had wished.<\/p>\n
The Grace at this moment reminded Celina of woman with boundless pride back then.<\/p>\n
No!<\/p>\n
Grace James didn\u2019t deserve it!<\/p>\n
Coldness slowly crept upon Celina\u2019s delicate face.<\/p>\n
Grace said, \u201cI followed you here. Can you delete the thing in your phone and give me the copy now?\u201d<\/p>\n
At this moment, Celina laughed coldly and her red lips uttered three words lightly, \u201cNo, I won\u2019t!\u201d She said it word by word and in an extremely clear voice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1325","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1325","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=1325"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
