I don\u2019t believe that you are a gold-digger, otherwise, why would you say something to me like that last time. You asked me not to become a person that I hate because of you\u2026 Grace, I don\u2019t believe that you are really a gold-digger. I know my behaviors hurt you, but\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStop right there. Master Cordon, Let\u2019s get it straight. Why don\u2019t I just tell you everything. You want me to go with you? Sure, wait until the day you defeat Caden Shaw\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She smiled mildly and reached out her hand, \u201cDo you have a cigarette?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Franklin was confused about her question and nodded: \u201cYes\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grace said, \u201cGive me one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat do you want the cigarette for?\u201d Though Franklin was confused, he still handed over a cigarette.<\/p>\n<p>When Franklin took out the cigarette and the lighter, Grace took away the lighter when grabbing the cigarette.<\/p>\n<p>Crack!<\/p>\n<p>Franklin was stunned, \u201cWhat are you doing!\u201d He stepped forth and wanted to throw away the cigarette in disbelief.<\/p>\n<p>Grace dodged and took a deep sip of the cigarette, exhaling the smoke, \u201cMaster Cordon, you see, how much do you know about me? How much do you know about Grace James? And you want me to go with you? You don\u2019t even know that I can smoke\u2026 So you would believe that the woman in front of you, Grace James, is not a gold-digger?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grace glanced at the frightened Franklin in contempt. The smoke further enlarged that contempt in her eyes\u2026 Grace looked exactly like a gold-digger who just hook up with a rich man and despised the poor young man.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust leave.\u201d Her eyes were cold and she spoke contemptuously. She flipped the ash of the cigarette, but she did it so unskilled that the cigarette almost fell onto the ground. But Franklin\u2019s attention was on Grace\u2019s face at this moment.<\/p>\n<p>Franklin didn\u2019t expect to see this scene, not the scene of Grace smoking, but the woman holding the cigarette whose look and behaviors were completely the same as the women who loved his money. When those women went out to have fun with him, they looked at the beggars on the street in contempt, which was exactly how Grace was looking at him right now.<\/p>\n<p>Grace was so similar to those women he met before!<\/p>\n<p>Franklin was distracted by this sudden scene, but the next moment when he saw her leaving resolutely, he was woken up at once, \u201cDon\u2019t go! I don\u2019t believe that! Grace, don\u2019t you want to lie to me again!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He stretched out to stop the woman, and he couldn\u2019t help kissing the woman\u2019s lips eagerly. Once he touched that lips, he sighed in his heart\u2026 A long-lost sensation.<\/p>\n<p>Grace was shocked and stepped on Franklin\u2019s feet!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2026 Hmm!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrace, I won\u2019t let go no matter what this time! We have the chance to be together, even Caden wants to stop me, even I am against the entire world\u2026\u201d Franklin was immersed in an exciting mood, and he didn\u2019t notice a sharp fist smashing to him from behind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBang!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t have to be against the entire world, I am your first enemy!\u201d A grim voice rang out along with the sound of that punch.<\/p>\n<p>Humbert stopped Ingemar, who wanted to help, \u201cDon\u2019t!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Humbert was more reasonable, \u201cCaden must be infuriated by this scene!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Franklin\u2019s head was bleeding instantly, and Grace widened her eyes in shock. She immediately took out her phone and dialed 120, \u201cHello, we need help\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before she finished, the phone fell to the ground into pieces.<\/p>\n<p>Grace looked at the broken phone, \u201cMr. Shaw, what are you doing!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Caden\u2019s hands clenched into fists, \u201cWhat am I doing? You ask me what I am doing? Grace\u2026\u201d The man spoke in an extremely soft yet strange tone, the danger was hidden behind his black eyes. He stared at Grace coldly, \u201cWhat have you done? Or what are you going to do?\u2026 What? You want to leave with Cordon?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grace\u2019s face turned pale, \u201cNonsense!\u201d She was stubborn enough not to weep, and her sight landed on Franklin, she clenched her teeth, \u201cMaster Cordon!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She didn\u2019t want to explain nor to bear that man\u2019s grievances!<\/p>\n<p>Franklin also knew the truth.<\/p>\n<p>Caden stared at Franklin\u2019s hand that grabbed Grace, feeling very uncomfortable.<\/p>\n<p>He stepped forth and was about to punch Franklin in the face.<\/p>\n<p>The two began to fight. Caden caught Grace and yelled, \u201cHumbert, Ingemar, now it\u2019s a group fight!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFuck! This isn\u2019t a group fight, it\u2019s a bully!\u201d Ingemar yelled, as though he despised Caden very much, but he was the first one to join the fight.<\/p>\n<p>Humbert covered his forehead speechlessly\u2026 Ingemar was really trying to make things worse.<\/p>\n<p>Since Ingemar joined the fight, Humbert had no reason not to follow.<\/p>\n<p>The two fought with Franklin, Caden took the chance to pull Grace out of the fight zone. He bent down and picked her up straightly, \u201cI will leave this to you guys.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Humbert peaked at the person that was leaving, \u201cFuck! Caden, you asshole!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Franklin was in a hurry when he saw that Grace was taken away, he grew more fierce, \u201cMove out of my way!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for Grace, she was already put into the car.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhere are we going?\u201d Grace found that this section of the road wasn\u2019t right, and asked hurriedly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCivil Affairs Bureau!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She panicked, &#8220;The Civil Affairs Bureau is off work!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The man chuckled, &#8220;You are so naive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She seemed to understand his chuckle, and became more panicked, reaching out to pull the car door, &#8220;Open the door!
