Chapter 168
\nI’ve Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 168<\/p>\n
\u201cBoss, I failed your trust.\u201d Inside the dark study room, Ladd felt very guilty.<\/p>\n
Caden was expressionless, \u201cNothing is found?\u201d<\/p>\n
Ladd lowered his head even more, he felt very very self-condemned, \u201cBoss, I didn\u2019t handle your orders well. I am too incapable. If it were Kirk, he would have already found it out.\u201d<\/p>\n
The boss asked him to investigate the incident from three years ago secretly. It was indeed hard to look into this event after three years. However, it had been quite a long time, and he hadn\u2019t found out anything useful.<\/p>\n
Everything he found was the evidence against Miss James.<\/p>\n
But\u2026He was different from Kirk, who had insisted that Miss James was guilty. Nevertheless, Ladd didn\u2019t believe that Miss James would be that kind of person from the beginning.<\/p>\n
As a result, he felt happy after knowing that the Boss wanted to dig in the incident from three years ago.<\/p>\n
He was the same as Kirk and a few others, who were selected by the boss since their childhood. They had followed alongside the boss ever since. Therefore, they grew up with Miss James to a certain degree.<\/p>\n
He was happy that the boss asked him to investigate the incident. However, after searching for a long time, all he found were more things that only proved Miss James to be guilty.<\/p>\n
The investigation report on Miss James was put on the desk of the boss. While he was making this report, Ladd had hesitated whether he should give this to the boss.<\/p>\n
Caden grabbed the report from the desk. His dark eyes browsed through it quickly after turning over the pages. Only the sound of flipping papers reverberated inside the quiet study room.<\/p>\n
\u201cIs this everything you can find?\u201d After putting down the report, half of the man\u2019s handsome face was hidden within the shadow. As the lamp was turned on, the other half of his face was faintly seen under the light.<\/p>\n
Ladd nodded heavily, \u201cYes, sir.\u201d but then he hurriedly said, \u201cBut boss, I still don\u2019t believe that Miss James would be that kind of person.\u201d However, this report was made by him personally. All the investigations were conducted secretly, slowing down the progress. Even Kirk, who was so close to him, didn\u2019t know about the investigations.<\/p>\n
\u201cBoss, Miss James would not\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI know, she wouldn\u2019t.\u201d Caden got up from the chair, with his hands in the pocket, he strode to the windows and looked outside, \u201cI almost believe these \u2018evidences\u2019. They were made so perfect, interwind with one another, impossible for others to see any problems. Yet, they were too perfect, which makes them suspicious.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBoss\u2026\u201d Ladd suddenly raised his head, widening his eyes shockingly.<\/p>\n
He had been with Caden for such a long time that he had already guessed something as soon as Caden finished his words.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s impossible!\u201d<\/p>\n
The man standing in front of the window smiled mildly\u2026Heh, even Ladd had thought of something. Caden\u2019s thin lips curled up slowly, but his smile was no match for the coldness beneath his eyes, \u201cOh the old man, the old man.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1373","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1373","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=1373"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
