Chapter 247
\nI’ve Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 247<\/p>\n
Caden slept for a whole day and night.<\/p>\n
Humbert called the Shaw Manor for the third time. The butler who answered the call told him over and over again, in a gentle voice like a machine, that he hadn\u2019t gotten up yet.<\/p>\n
This was rare.<\/p>\n
Humbert felt incredulous.<\/p>\n
However, what could not have happened to Caden, had happened right in front of his eyes.<\/p>\n
Humbert was a little anxious.<\/p>\n
Ignoring his own things, he went to the underground garage. A Mustang sedan that he had purchased recently was right there. Rumbling, the car roared away.<\/p>\n
The price of this car was not high. For someone like Humbert, a car worth three to five hundred thousand yuan was not a high-end car. However, those who knew the car would get it. It was so great to drive it, especially when a driver had the joy of listening the rumbling sound along the road.<\/p>\n
But at this moment, Humbert\u2019s new favorite didn\u2019t get the slightest bit of attention from Humbert.<\/p>\n
He only treated it as a Passat and drove it to the Shaw Manor with all his might.<\/p>\n
He was familiar with the Shaw Manor. He rolled up his sleeves and raised his fist. Though the butler stopped him, he still ran to the end of the second floor and pound at the door.<\/p>\n
The butler anxiously said, \u201cThe master is too tired and told everyone not to disturb him \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Before he could finish his sentence, Humbert scolded him,<\/p>\n
\u201cAt least you\u2019ve worked here for a few years. When have you ever seen him sleep for a day and night?\u201d<\/p>\n
When he found that he couldn\u2019t open the door, he twisted the handle and said, \u201cHey! Open the door!\u201d Turning his head, he roared at the butler behind him,<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you have a spare key? Bring it over!\u201d<\/p>\n
At this moment, the door was opened suddenly. \u201cI\u2019m not dead yet.\u201d<\/p>\n
Goose bumps came all over his body at the cold sound.<\/p>\n
Humbert\u2019s eyes were filled with joy. \u201cGood!\u201d He raised his hand and slapped the man, who was standing at the door with a cold face, on the shoulder.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re not dead. You scared the hell out of me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Apparently, the man who was woken up by the noise had a twisted expression on his face. \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong? Tell me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Humbert yelled and looked at Caden in surprise, \u201cI was afraid that you would never wake up, so I come to see if you\u2019re dead and collect your corpse.\u201d<\/p>\n
Caden looked at him with a gloomy expression. \u201cDon\u2019t worry. I won\u2019t die.\u201d He seemed to have thought of something and explained, \u201cI\u2019m just too tired.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yes, he was just too tired.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will be fine after a rest.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yes, he would be fine after a rest.<\/p>\n
\u201cHumbert, we are old and should pay attention to our health. You\u2019d better not hang out the bar so often. It does nothing good to your health.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Humbert almost thought that he was having a hallucination. He looked at the man who was speaking faintly as if he had seen a ghost.<\/p>\n
\u201cScrew you! You\u2019re old. I am in my prime. So many girls are waiting for me. Without me, it\u2019s their loss.\u201d<\/p>\n
They engaged in chitchat.<\/p>\n
The topic then was turned to matters the Shaw Group.<\/p>\n
When it came to business, Humbert became serious.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you rested, I only have time to help you appease the panic in the company.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut this is not the real problem, after all,\u201d he said, looking up at Caden solemnly.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you going to do?\u201d<\/p>\n
Seeing that Caden didn\u2019t say anything, Humbert hesitated for a moment and said, \u201cHow about raising money \u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt hasn\u2019t reached this point yet,\u201d Caden tapped the table with his finger and said his plan,<\/p>\n
\u201cMassive capital injection.\u201d<\/p>\n
Capital raising?<\/p>\n
He would not allow others to take advantage of him at this time.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou want to invest on your own?\u201d Humbert asked a cruel question, \u201cWhere did you get the money?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you know the AG Company in the United States?\u201d<\/p>\n
Humbert nodded and said, \u201cIt seems to show its prominence in recent years. Although it is a newcomer on Wall Street, it is one of the most profitable companies.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDoesn\u2019t the Shaw Group belong to me?\u201d<\/p>\n
He was so \u2026 arrogant!<\/p>\n
Did any chairman of the board dare to say that the joint-stock group and listed company belonged to himself?<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are also some articles about Grace on the Internet. Caden, you are the latest code word of scum in the new era. Congratulations, prepare to go down in history.\u201d<\/p>\n
After gloating, Humbert found the confident man regained his composure. His silence inexplicably made people feel that he was fragile.<\/p>\n
Fragile?<\/p>\n
Forget about it!<\/p>\n
Humbert shook his head. He was crazy to think that Caden was fragile.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m afraid your bad reputation will affect the reorganization of the Shaw Group. This is the era of Internet. I\u2019m afraid that the netizens will spontaneously boycott the company.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing matters as long as you have the capital.\u201d After saying that, Caden stood up and made the posture of seeing the guests off.<\/p>\n
He wanted to rest and keep fit, so that he could hold that woman\u2019s hands, growing old together.<\/p>\n
Humbert left the Shaw Manor. Caden went to the study. He had registered a Weibo account before. The moment he logged in, there were lots of abusive comments.<\/p>\n
He glanced at it casually and didn\u2019t look anymore.<\/p>\n
At 19:31.<\/p>\n
There was only one post on Caden\u2019s Weibo.<\/p>\n
\u201cI, Caden, have only one wife in my life. Her name is Grace James.\u201d<\/p>\n
There were only a dozen words, nothing more.<\/p>\n
There were no strong affection and touching confession in the words.<\/p>\n
There was not even a word of \u201clove\u201d.<\/p>\n
However, the person who understood this sentence would say, \u201cThis man loves the woman called Grace James badly.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the study, the man dragged his tired body and was about to fall asleep. Before he could return to the bedroom, his eyes were so heavy that he leaned against the chair and fell asleep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1452","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1452","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=1452"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
