He used his beauty and got checked in with the help of Carol.<\/p>\n<p>Grace wished she could send this little girl a thousand miles away to remain calm.<\/p>\n<p>But she only realized what had happened after Ingemar checking in.<\/p>\n<p>These days, Carol felt wronged. Her boss did not talk to her and ignored her.<\/p>\n<p>Carol was mad when she saw Ingemar\u2019s seductive face.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoss, that old lady is here again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carol was at the bar when she saw that annoying figure.<\/p>\n<p>The corner of Grace\u2019s eyes swept past the figure. Then she closed her eyes and ignored it.<\/p>\n<p>Carol hated Mrs. James. She was obviously not that old, but Carol kept calling her old lady.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. James detested Carol, but she could only glare at her.<\/p>\n<p>She didn\u2019t forget why she was here.<\/p>\n<p>When Grace was admitted to the hospital, Mrs. James also went to visit her. But no matter how hard she tried, there was no way she could approach the ward under Ingemar\u2019s nose.<\/p>\n<p>After Grace was discharged from the hospital, she came to the Memory Inn for days.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. James looked at her indifferent daughter, her heart bleeding.<\/p>\n<p>She knew that she owed her daughter.<\/p>\n<p>She knew that she deserved it.<\/p>\n<p>However, Payne was still waiting for her to save him on the hospital bed!<\/p>\n<p>And Jafar was an old jerk who lost humanity!<\/p>\n<p>He cared more about that illegitimate child than her son!<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. James had been well-off all these years. No matter how dissatisfied she was, she knew very well that if she lost a son, she would have nothing!<\/p>\n<p>Jafar was an ungrateful man. If she was old without a son, he wouldn\u2019t think much of her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrace.\u201d Mrs. James walked to the woman who was resting with her eyes closed. Her lips moved. She was embarrassed to speak out, but what could she do?<\/p>\n<p>She was helpless. If there was any other way, she would not be willing to force her daughter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know your intention. Don\u2019t say anything.\u201d The woman kept her eyes closed, ignoring the piteous woman beside her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo!\u201d Mrs. James subconsciously retorted, her eyes filled with difficulty. Her lips moved and she finally said, \u201cI\u2019m not here for the bone marrow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The woman on the rattan chair remained expressionless.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. James sighed helplessly. She could only say what the person on the phone had told her this morning,<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI &#8230; I want &#8230;\u201d She paused for a moment, thinking that she should stop. But when she remembered the instructions on the phone, she gritted her teeth fiercely.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrace, could you go beg President Shaw?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grace finally opened her eyes and glanced at Mrs. James with a forced smile, \u201cPresident Shaw?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Seeing that she had finally opened her eyes, Mrs. James\u2019s eyes which were lined with crow\u2019s feet suddenly lit up. She anxiously grabbed Grace\u2019s hand and hurriedly said,<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCaden Shaw, President Shaw of the Shaw Group. The man you love.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. James, who was in a hurry to show her intention, did not see the woman wearing an indescribable expression, whose palm was clutched tightly.<\/p>\n<p>She only wanted to achieve her goal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrace, you go beg Caden, okay?<\/p>\n<p>The woman on the rattan chair suddenly closed her eyes!<\/p>\n<p>Her expression suddenly turned cold!<\/p>\n<p>She said coldly,<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMrs. James, I am not the right person whom you need to beg for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. James\u2019s heart skipped a beat!<\/p>\n<p>Was Grace rejecting her by saying that, wasn\u2019t her?<\/p>\n<p>No!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrace! For your father\u2019s sake and \u2026\u201d Mrs. James thought for a while and then realized no one in the family that Grace cared about. They showed no mercy to her in the past. Who else should she mention?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor the sake of \u2026 for the sake of your deceased grandfather.\u201d Mrs. James felt uncomfortable in her heart. They were her family, her parents, and her brother. They were alive, but they were not comparable to a dead person.<\/p>\n<p>Even though she felt sarcastic, she could not find anyone else who mattered to Grace.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe James Group was the thing your grandfather cared about the most when he was alive, and it was he who expanded it.<\/p>\n<p>Grace, your grandfather raised you up. He devoted his life to the company. Did you have the heart to see it be wiped out in a day.<\/p>\n<p>If he knew that his lifetime work had been destroyed, he wouldn\u2019t rest well underground.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although the woman in the rattan chair had her eyes closed and her expression remained calm, her tight lips and slightly trembling body revealed her anger.<\/p>\n<p>Ingemar couldn\u2019t bear it and was just about to ridicule Mrs. James.<\/p>\n<p>But the next second!<\/p>\n<p>The woman\u2019s tightly closed eyes suddenly opened. She fiercely shook off Mrs. James\u2019s hand. The pair of her black eyes were in flames. She stared at Mrs. James\u2019s face, gritted her teeth and said,<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShame on you!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1453","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1453","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=1453"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
