If Caden won\u2019t let go of the James family and Jafar, then there is no hope in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Do you think I want to help Jafar?<\/p>\n<p>Your brother Payne is still lying on the hospital bed!<\/p>\n<p>If the James family collapses and Jafar bankrupts, what about your brother\u2019s treatment fee!<\/p>\n<p>Even if your brother is cured, he has nothing left!<\/p>\n<p>He is the eldest young master of the James family. He has never suffered hardship since he was young. And we are living in a small world. He is a rich second generation who did not lack money, but suddenly, he has nothing left.<\/p>\n<p>No one in the world will think highly of him. How could he endure all this!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJafar is indeed a bad guy. But if he bankrupts, what can I do! I am just a woman.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grace looked straight at the woman who was crying, and she felt even worse.<\/p>\n<p>Taking a deep breath, she tightly clasped the armrest of the rattan chair. And the creaking of the rattan chair could be heard.<\/p>\n<p>It seemed that only by doing so could she soothe her unspeakable pain.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, she would have asked Mrs. James sharply. If Payne couldn\u2019t stand it, could she?<\/p>\n<p>But now, as she looked at the woman, she felt sad.<\/p>\n<p>Some people had bad intentions.<\/p>\n<p>OK.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour grandfather&#8230;\u201d Mrs. James hesitated. She was unwilling. All her weapons were the deceased Old Master James.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEnough.\u201d With a low shout, her pain could be seen. But time passed quickly\u2026 She was in a sorry state! There was nothing left!<\/p>\n<p>Nothing. Nothing left.<\/p>\n<p>Grace looked up at Mrs. James. At that time, Mrs. James could only see the arrogance on her face.<\/p>\n<p>She felt unhappy\u2026 In Mrs. James\u2019s mind, even if she was begging for Grace now, Grace was still her child. Without her, how could there be Grace?<\/p>\n<p>She was begging Grace, but if Grace struck an attitude, no one would like it.<\/p>\n<p>However, she did not dare to say anything. She only frowned in displeasure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen the James family \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grace looked down at Mrs. James superciliously and stared at the noble woman\u2019s face for more than ten minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. James mentioned the James family, Jafar and Payne several times, but Grace never interrupted Mrs. James\u2019s complaint. Mrs. James had suffered a lot these days. Her son was sick like that, and her husband concealed that he had an illegitimate child for most of her life. His son was sick, and he didn\u2019t care at all.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. James couldn\u2019t find anyone to talk about these sorrows.<\/p>\n<p>Usually, the \u201cgood sisters\u201d who played mahjong with her comfort her casually.<\/p>\n<p>Later, they alienated her.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. James said that she was a woman who lived every day in fear against the backdrop of her son\u2019s serious illness and her husband\u2019s abandonment.<\/p>\n<p>She endured the torment and fear late at night by herself. She had endured a lot by herself. She was unwilling to tell others what she had endured. No one knew how she had gotten through those days. Only she knew what she was going through every day.<\/p>\n<p>From the beginning to the end, Grace only looked straight down at Mrs. James.<\/p>\n<p>She listened quietly as Mrs. James wiped away her tears and cried out about the difficulty.<\/p>\n<p>Shameless!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. James turned pale, and she was humiliated by Ingemar unreservedly. She only felt embarrassed.<\/p>\n<p>But she thought about the crisis of the James family. Without the James family, she was no longer Mrs. James!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrace, how can you tolerate as your grandfather\u2019s lifetime of hard work is destroyed?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She looked miserably at the person on the rattan chair, but Grace had already closed her eyes fiercely. Only then did Mrs. James feel completely panicked, \u201cGrace! That\u2019s your grandfather! When you were young, he liked you the most! That\u2019s the person who treated you the best!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Amidst her hoarse shouts, Grace opened her eyes and stared at Mrs. James. She said calmly,<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All the pain was hidden in it.<\/p>\n<p>She slowly reached out to Ingemar and said, \u201cCall him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat?\u201d Ingemar was shocked for a moment. He thought that he had heard wrongly, but he saw her wrist. \u201cWill you not regret it?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grace and Ingemar both knew that this phone call was not just a phone call.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrace, I knew you have a soft heart,\u201d Mrs. James said happily.<\/p>\n<p>Grace looked down. Apart from the pain, there was also infinite mockery \u2026 Yes, she had a soft heart.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet him tell me what he wants,\u201d Grace told to Ingemar indifferently.<\/p>\n<p>How was it possible to obtain something from someone like Caden without losing a lot?<\/p>\n<p>Ingemar looked at Grace and pressed the call button.<\/p>\n<p>The phone was through.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1454","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1454","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=1454"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
