Although he had a great figure, he looked rather lonely.<\/p>\n<p>As Caden placed her in the passenger seat, Ladd ran over to drive for Caden. But the latter swung his slender hand without saying a word. Ladd stopped and stepped aside.<\/p>\n<p>The man walked to the other side of the car, opened the driver seat&#8217;s door, and sat in.<\/p>\n<p>Leaning back on the seat, he remained motionless for a long time. The car still stayed in place. After a long while, he held the steering wheel, started the engine, and stepped on the gas. For a moment, the car rumbled. When the car sounded, Caden&#8217;s thin lips opened. He said a word, which was covered by the rumble. Grace&#8217;s name could be heard vaguely.<\/p>\n<p>Grace turned her head and felt puzzled. &#8220;What did you say?&#8221; The sound of the engine was too loud, which almost covered the man&#8217;s deep voice.<\/p>\n<p>The corner of Caden&#8217;s lips moved a little. &#8220;I said, I will drive you to Wei&#8217;ai Foundation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Grace was stunned for a moment, then nodded, looked out of the window again.<\/p>\n<p>The man in the driver&#8217;s seat tightened the steering wheel harder with his slender fingers. Only he knew it. What he said just now was, &#8220;Grace, I am jealous.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Yes, he was jealous of Franklin!<\/p>\n<p>He was devoured by envy, which was about to drive him crazy!<\/p>\n<p>This woman once regarded Franklin as her light&#8230; But it was Caden who once occupied the most important position in this woman&#8217;s heart.<\/p>\n<p>Grace showed Franklin all her gentleness&#8230; If she didn&#8217;t treat Franklin in that way, why should she pull Franklin out of hopelessness now?<\/p>\n<p>Finally, she walked towards him&#8230; But Caden wasn&#8217;t happy at all.<\/p>\n<p>He wasn&#8217;t pleased because it had nothing to do with love when Grace walked towards him.<\/p>\n<p>In Grace&#8217;s eyes, did he really become an indelible but extremely disgusting existence?<\/p>\n<p>He didn&#8217;t believe it and wouldn&#8217;t accept it.<\/p>\n<p>What he believed was that if he could make her fall in love with him once, then she could fall in love with him one more time&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>As they arrived at the destination, Grace got out of the car. When she turned around, Caden also got out of the car.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I can do it alone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She tactfully refused his company.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019ll follow.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Grace didn&#8217;t speak.<\/p>\n<p>They remained silent all the way into Wei&#8217;ai Foundation. The place was quiet right now. Under those astonished gazes, Grace straightened her back and walked into the elevator.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Vivian, hold an interim executive meeting.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When Vivian received Grace\u2019s call, she was taken aback. She didn&#8217;t expect that Grace would be able to stand in front of the public so quickly on this critical moment. She had adjusted herself and returned to the battlefield of Wei&#8217;ai Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>After being stunned for a second, Vivian responded quickly, &#8220;Yes, Ms. James.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Vivian became confident again. It was true that the video was a huge blow to her and others. Grace in the video was so humble that she looked as if she had lost her dignity.<\/p>\n<p>They were all the people who worked for Grace. They had never seen such a gorgeous woman degrade herself.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, it was unacceptable for them.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, they were Grace&#8217;s trusted subordinates. Grace escaped, which meant that their leader escaped. Therefore, they had to behave themselves cautiously in the company.<\/p>\n<p>There were many forces in Wei&#8217;ai Foundation. Under such a great pressure, they were bound to fight against the old forces.<\/p>\n<p>The bigger the company, the more possibility they would do it.<\/p>\n<p>Vivian was stunned, but when Grace&#8217;s expressionless face without hesitation, she understood. &#8220;Yes, Ms. James.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She gave a huge blow from the beginning of the meeting. As expected, those executives in the conference room started to behave themselves and didn&#8217;t dare to be presumptuous anymore. Even those who wanted to criticize Grace would shut up when they saw the man behind Grace.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know you have all watched that video. I&#8217;m here to remind everyone, whether you like me or not, and what you think of me, Wei&#8217;ai Foundation belongs to me, Grace James. So, unless you are not working in Wei&#8217;ai Foundation anymore, you have to hold back your thoughts about me and work hard whether you like it or not.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>At this moment, with coldness in her eyes, Grace swept everyone around the conference table without backing down.<\/p>\n<p>Her straight back was already sweaty. If she hadn&#8217;t been sitting on a chair, her feet would have been soft, but at this moment, she couldn&#8217;t retreat. She couldn&#8217;t be weak. She had to act vigorously and turned it to her advantage.<\/p>\n<p>Caden showed pride in his narrow dark eyes, his heart pumping&#8230; He saw Grace become the woman she used to be. He had never thought that he missed that woman&#8217;s charm so much!<\/p>\n<p>He never thought that one day, his heartbeat would be racing because of this aggressive woman!<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>That night, in Gloria&#8217;s office of Royal Club, She had just finished reporting when the door was knocked.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Come in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kirk pushed in, &#8220;Boss, are you looking for me?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I want you to investigate whether there is something hidden behind the incident three years ago.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Three years ago&#8230;Ms. Venus&#8217;s incident?&#8221; Kirk exclaimed incredulously, &#8220;Isn&#8217;t the matter already settled?&#8221; What else to check?!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1358","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1358","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=1358"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
