Chapter 122
\nI’ve Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 122<\/p>\n
\u201cSo this is her true colors. That\u2019s why Mr. Shaw kept ignoring her in the past. Because Mr. Shaw had seen her as who she was a long time ago.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFortunately, Mr. Shaw wasn\u2019t cheated by this menial slut before. Or he would have suffered greatly.\u201d<\/p>\n
While rubbing the middle-aged man\u2019s feet, Grace suddenly shivered. A tinge of pain appeared in her heart. She raised her lips in resignation…So, so.<\/p>\n
It was because she was born menial that he refused her in the past? So he saw through her a long time ago?<\/p>\n
So…so!<\/p>\n
She wanted to laugh but failed to do so.<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
Franklin received a strange message which made his face darken. Without further thinking, he drove to the club at a fast speed.<\/p>\n
The party was going on well. Franklin put down his work and rushed here from the company, so he didn\u2019t even have time to change clothes.<\/p>\n
After a day of work as well as overtime, now the slender Franklin looked kind of in a mess. If it was in other places, he looked just fine. But today in this extravagant party where everyone was well dressed up, he kind of …stood out.<\/p>\n
Due to the haste, he didn\u2019t even sort out his tie, which just hung on his neck casually. Someone saw him and came to say hello, \u201cMr. Cordon, how do we have the honor of seeing you here?\u201d<\/p>\n
But Franklin kept looking for the figure of that woman among people.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you looking for someone. Mr. Cordon?\u201d A man asked him.<\/p>\n
Franklin froze and grabbed the man\u2019s arm, \u201cYes. Did you see Miss Jam\u2026?\u201d Then it occurred to him that no one here would know who Grace was. So he stopped.<\/p>\n
\u201cJam? …who?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Franklin walked away.<\/p>\n
Then he was grabbed by the man behind, \u201cMr. Cordon, wait a minute. If you are looking for someone and can\u2019t find her here in the hall, you can go to another place.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the end of the corridor on the second floor.\u201d The man said, \u201cLet me show you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Franklin thanked him, \u201cThen please, Mr. James.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Payne led Franklin to the second floor, he was a bit confused on the way…Did he hear wrong? Maybe…maybe Franklin didn\u2019t say \u201cJames\u201d at all.<\/p>\n
Maybe he was just too sensitive to his surname.<\/p>\n
But Franklin was a rising star in business community. He should give him a hand and helped him look for that person. It wouldn\u2019t be so hard. Maybe he could even build up some connections with Franklin which may facilitate his business in the future.<\/p>\n
\u201cSee, I told you. If you can\u2019t find him downstairs, you will find him here…See, Mr. Cordon. The door is still open.\u201d<\/p>\n
Franklin didn\u2019t have time to respond and rushed to the end of the corridor. There were two knobs on the door and the door was ajar. There was a crack. When he was about to open the door, suddenly, his eyes opened wide.<\/p>\n
He…found Grace!<\/p>\n
But!<\/p>\n
What did he see through the crack?<\/p>\n
Payne walked to him, \u201cMr. Cordon, why are you still standing…\u201d outside.<\/p>\n
All of a sudden!<\/p>\n
Before he could finish, a hand covered his mouth with great strength. Payne looked up and saw Franklin\u2019s eyes which were full of anger. Franklin looked like he was about to kill someone.<\/p>\n
At the next second, he looked through the crack too.<\/p>\n
Suddenly, Payne opened his eyes wide and froze!<\/p>\n
Grace…<\/p>\n
Why?<\/p>\n
What was she…doing!<\/p>\n
Disgrace and anger overwhelmed him and couldn\u2019t be held down.<\/p>\n
Why didn\u2019t he understand?<\/p>\n
Grace?<\/p>\n
Plotted against her best friend?<\/p>\n
Paid a bunch of gangsters?<\/p>\n
Had them rape her best friend in rotation?<\/p>\n
And finally caused the suicide of her best friend?<\/p>\n
No, no, no!<\/p>\n
It was impossible!<\/p>\n
That was not the same person he knew as Grace!<\/p>\n
\u201cGrace, you didn\u2019t expect that your prince charming Caden would throw you in jail after Wallis passed away, did you? Grace, you are not only hateful but also pathetic! After everything you had gone through, you got nothing!\u201d<\/p>\n
Celina moved aside on purpose so that the man outside could clearly see the case full of dazzlingly red bank notes.<\/p>\n
Celina raised her red lips, \u201cThe Miss James in the past looked down upon money. But now? You are willing to demean yourself so much and ingratiate yourself with a bald old man. Grace, shame on you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Right now, Franklin\u2019s breath was in a mess.<\/p>\n
No!<\/p>\n
This wasn\u2019t true!<\/p>\n
This was not the Grace he knew at all!<\/p>\n
But his eyes were fixated on the case full of red bank notes and couldn\u2019t move away!<\/p>\n
His brows tightened up. He gritted his teeth and reached his hand to open the door in a tough way!<\/p>\n
Standing at the door, Franklin shouted, \u201cThat wasn\u2019t the truth!\u201d His eyes set on Grace stubbornly!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1327","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1327","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=1327"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
