Grace got out of the car after Gloria drove the car through the iron gate of James\u2019 house, \u201cGloria, you can go back first. I have private conversation with Mrs. James.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gloria\u2019s eyes moved, and her gaze fell on Grace\u2019s cold and distant face. She chuckled, \u201cI can\u2019t explain to President Shaw if I leave you only at James\u2019 house alone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grace\u2019s throat tightened, \u201cYou\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet me accompany you.\u201d Gloria closed the car door and walked calmly to Grace\u2019s side. Then, she stretched out her hand to embrace Grace\u2019s shoulder and lowered her voice with the volume that only two of them could hear. She talked into her ear, \u201cDon\u2019t worry, I\u2019ve been Caden Shaw\u2019s subordinate for so long. I can handle everything that I should deal with. Besides, I\u2019m Caden\u2019s subordinate. Do they dare to lay a finger on me?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She talked while embracing Grace\u2019s shoulder with a smile and walked forward.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. James had already come out, \u201cGrace, you\u2019ve come. Huh? Miss Su is also here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhere is the thing?\u201d Grace did not beat around the bush. She straight away asked Mrs. James after she arrived and entered the house with her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is it?\u201d Mrs. James was slightly stunned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ID card.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grace said lightly. She came to James\u2019 house just to get her ID card back. She also took this opportunity to run away from Caden.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. James suddenly realized, \u201cOh, ID card. I put it inside the drawer of my dressing table. I\u2019ll bring it to you later. Let\u2019s have a cup of hot tea first. It\u2019s such a freezing cold day. Have some hot tea to keep you warm.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. James was not supposed to be perturbed, but she was distracted because she was concerned about the thing that was going to happen today.<\/p>\n<p>Grace\u2019s eyes fell on Mrs. James\u2019 face again after taking a look at the tea that the maid brought, \u201cI\u2019d prefer Mrs. James to go upstairs and get me the ID card.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. James looked at Jafar James and it seemed like she could not make the decision alone. After the latter nodded his head, she nodded at Grace, \u201cOkay. I\u2019ll get it for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. James went back as soon as possible. She lovingly scolded Grace after she took the ID card to downstairs, \u201cOh my dearest daughter, you are too hasty to get your ID card back. Why can\u2019t you trust your own parents? Your dad has spent some time and effort to cover you up and satisfy your request so that President Shaw won\u2019t notice it. It\u2019s not easy to help you with getting a new identity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. James\u2019 eyes were full of kindness at the moment. People who did not know about the fact would really think that this is a kind and good mother.<\/p>\n<p>Gloria who stood next to them was feeling complicated.<\/p>\n<p>Leaving aside the other things, Grace was just asking Mrs. James for her ID card, but Mrs. James had to look at Jafar secretly to ask his opinion.<\/p>\n<p>This was not a family at all!<\/p>\n<p>It is no different from the outsiders.<\/p>\n<p>Grace immediately snatched her ID card from Mrs. James\u2019 hand\u2026 She had not been dared to hope for Mrs. James\u2019 pretentious love and care for a long time. She just felt harsh and ironic when she heard what Mrs. James said in her ears.<\/p>\n<p>She glanced down at her ID card in her palm. A self-deprecating smile appeared in her eyes.<\/p>\n<p>No wonder Jafar was able to cover her up. The name column on the ID card was written as Grace Shaw.<\/p>\n<p>She had changed her surname.<\/p>\n<p>She raised her eyes and swept over Jafar coldly after she chuckled and deliberately suppressed the pain in her heart, \u201cWhy the surname must be \u2018Shaw\u2019?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jafar hesitated. He could not tell her truthfully that a old man told him personally, \u201cSince that woman has married into the Shaw family, she must be loyal to them for the rest of her life. Just put \u2018Shaw\u2019 as her surname on the ID card then.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These were the original words from the old man.<\/p>\n<p>Jafar still remembered the coldness under the eyes of the old man when he said that personally after Jafar asked for his opinion on Grace\u2019s request to get a new ID card for her.<\/p>\n<p>It was doomed from that moment that Grace would not live any longer.<\/p>\n<p>There was no exception for the words from the old man.<\/p>\n<p>The attitude of the old man was very obvious. The Shaw family could accept Grace as their daughter-in-law, and the title of Madam James since the past generations could also be given to Grace. However, only Grace that was dead could sit on the throne of Madam James.<\/p>\n<p>Jafar hesitated for a moment. After all, she was his own daughter. This time was different from what happened a few years ago. Instead, it was equivalent to kill his own daughter by himself.<\/p>\n<p>However, Jafar had made what he thought was the best decision for the James family.<\/p>\n<p>To sacrifice a daughter who was no longer from the James family.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrace, do you want to meet those rascals who caused you to get into jail?\u201d Jafar did not answer Grace\u2019s question, but suddenly brought up the subject of those gangsters.<\/p>\n<p>Did you want to meet?<\/p>\n<p>Grace lowered her eyes and covered the irony under her eyes\u2026 What was the point of meeting them or otherwise?<\/p>\n<p>According to her \u2018good father\u2019 that was afraid of Caden, Jafar would not take the risk to kill Gloria after Gloria fainted before her. He could use many excuses if Gloria was alive. It was a huge possibility that the cruel and merciless Caden would go into this matter if Gloria was dead.<\/p>\n<p>When she just stood up, she clearly saw that Gloria\u2019s hidden hand was gently made a \u2018pinky promise\u2019 even though Gloria seemed like she had fallen into the trick.<\/p>\n<p>Gloria sent a message to her \u2013 She would make sure that it was all right.<\/p>\n<p>Since arriving at the James\u2019 house, Grace was very cautious no matter what she ate or used, and even not to touch it. She did not expect that her biological parents had reached to the point that they did not even care to cover up even though she was so careful with them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat should I do?\u201d Mrs. James nervously looked at the two people who fainted out and pointed to Gloria. She asked Jafar, \u201cHow to deal with her?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe is Caden\u2019s person, and she fainted after drinking the tea. Go and call Theo over.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although Mrs. James was flustered, she immediately followed what Jafar said.<\/p>\n<p>After Jafar finished speaking, a strong man, who stood behind Grace and used the handkerchief that was stained with Ether to cover Grace\u2019s mouth just now, had already carried her like a sandbag. After he put her inside a gunny sack that could fit into an adult, he carried the sack that had a person in it on his shoulder again.<\/p>\n<p>An old man with the gray hair followed Mrs. James and walked toward Jafar. Jafar pointed to Gloria who had passed out, \u201cTake her away and create a death that caused by a \u2018car accident\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grace still underestimated Jafar\u2019s cruelty, or it should be said that Grace had not inherited Jafar\u2019s brain that could think of harming people in so many ways.<\/p>\n<p>There was no doubt if Gloria died because of a \u2018car accident\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. James shivered. She firmly grasped Jafar\u2019s wrist and the blue veins were exposed on the back of her white hand. There was a little compassion through her eyes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJafar\u2026 Do we\u2026 Do we really need to do this?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you think I want to do so?\u201d Jafar pulled out his hair in frustration, \u201cWhat can I do for now? Outsiders might think that James family is magnificent, but don\u2019t you know that our James family has come to make or break period? She was also my daughter. How could I be so callous if I have the choice?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are no buts about it! You have to remember that we are doing it for the sake of the James family! If the James family goes bankrupt, Payne will be nothing! Do you have the heart to see the James family goes bankrupt and Payne, who was once a superior young master, suddenly descends to a distressed dog that lost his home? Besides\u2026 What\u2019s the point of her being alive like a half-dead? We are helping her to end the misery of her life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The gray-haired Theo was also carrying Gloria, who had fainted, into the car she drove. It was almost to \u2018wake Gloria up\u2019 in advance when she heard of what Jafar said.<\/p>\n<p>How shameless he was!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1398","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1398","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=1398"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
