Ingemar had never seen such a woman before. Needless to say, her sorrow was there.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. James felt panicked. She did not understand this emotion very well. She had never understood such an emotion in her life. What she cared more was&#8230;?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrace, how\u2019s it going? President Shaw, he&#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Shaw will let the James Group go.\u201d The woman on the rattan chair closed her eyes and stopped Mrs. James\u2019 hurried question. Mrs. James became even happier for a moment. \u201cGrace, I knew you\u2026 Your heart was the softest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I am in charge of the James Group,\u201d the woman said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat?\u201d Mrs. James cried out in shock. Her sharp voice broke the tranquility of Erhai Lake. She pointed at the woman in the rattan chair who had her eyes closed in disbelief.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow can you!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can,\u201d Grace said slowly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are unfilial! You take advantage of this!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. James was very angry.<\/p>\n<p>The woman on the rattan chair only smiled faintly. But it made Mrs. James was furious when she saw it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought you were a nonchalant person. So you are the most ambitious one! You want to take Payne\u2019s property!\u201d Mrs. James only had the sentence \u201cI\u2019m in charge of the James Group\u201d in her mind. She was in a mess and mentioned Jafar. \u201cYour father won\u2019t agree! You are wrong!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grace sneered and opened her eyes, staring straight at Mrs. James.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGo back and ask Jafar if he wants to be the old master of the James Group in S City or a penniless poor man with no money.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grace looked coldly at Mrs. James. She added, \u201cI will give these words to Mrs. James as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I\u2019m in charge of it, you\u2019re still Mrs. James in S City\u2019s group of the upper crust. Payne is also the young master of the James Group. His monthly salary is still the same as before. There\u2019s no shortage of his medical expenses. Mrs. James\u2019 expenses are fifty thousand a month. If Mrs. James and Mr. James were unwilling, the James Group would become the history of S City. You are smart. Just think yourself what is the most advantageous choice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. James\u2019 ears were buzzing!<\/p>\n<p>But what scared her even more were Grace\u2019s eyes, which were bloodshot!<\/p>\n<p>Grace waved at her and said, \u201cGo back and think. Ask Mr. James. Go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She was very tired. She felt happy as Mrs. James ran away.<\/p>\n<p>They were not so much begging her, and they were actually forcing her. She knew that she couldn\u2019t and shouldn\u2019t do it, but she couldn\u2019t refuse!<\/p>\n<p>Now, she also took what the James family regarded as their own life. She looked in the direction where Mrs. James had already left \u2026 \u2018Dear Mr. James, Mrs. James, Young Master James, would you all feel any pain?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Those bloodshot eyes were filled with joy and despair.<\/p>\n<p>The Shaw Group.<\/p>\n<p>President\u2019s office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s her.\u201d Kern sat opposite him and listened to the call quietly.<\/p>\n<p>He was sure it was her, Grace.<\/p>\n<p>At this moment, the bell rang again.<\/p>\n<p>Ingemar called.<\/p>\n<p>On the phone, Ingemar only said, \u201cMrs. James used the deceased Old Master James. They used Old Master James. How despicable!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The man was indifferent, \u201cI guessed it.\u201d That woman didn\u2019t even care about Payne\u2019s life. What else did she care about in the James Group?<\/p>\n<p>She seemed to be pleading for mercy, but it was a very difficult decision for that woman.<\/p>\n<p>His heart ached for no reason. He looked down and felt lonelier. He forced that woman again.<\/p>\n<p>He knew that he shouldn\u2019t have, but he did it.<\/p>\n<p>Loss and coercion.<\/p>\n<p>He only wanted to tightly grasp her, even if she was \u2026 imprisoned!<\/p>\n<p>Second, she was so cold and unyielding to him. How could she yield to him so easily?<\/p>\n<p>Caden chuckled. Kern looked up, coincidentally seeing his scorn.<\/p>\n<p>Before he could get angry, Caden frowned and said, \u201cShe knew. You could see through it. So could she. But that was the only sunlight in her life.\u201d At this point, Caden felt that his throat was clogged up in panic, and felt heartache for that stupid woman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven though she knew that it was not pure, and that it was conditional, she still did it.\u201d Just like him, she knew that it would be very tiring for her to love him. But that silly woman still fell into the trap. From now on, it was the beginning of her suffering.<\/p>\n<p>Caden was the beginning of all the suffering of that silly woman.<\/p>\n<p>In this life, he was willing to pamper her deeply.<\/p>\n<p>Kern was shocked\u2026 Someone who knew it was fake, was still wholehearted?<\/p>\n<p>Was there really such a person in this world?<\/p>\n<p>But he couldn\u2019t help but believe it!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe remembers old man James\u2019 good, not his bad. In her eyes, she only remembers his good. Do you really think she is ignorant?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKern, the woman I fell in love with is like this,\u201d the man smiled and felt incomparably proud.<\/p>\n<p>Caden kept echoing, \u201cWhat about you? Kern, what exactly do you love?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was too noisy.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018What about you? Kern, what exactly did you love?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018What is it that I love?\u2019 Kern was absent-minded. He didn\u2019t know how he walked out of Caden\u2019s office. He ignored passers-by and stepped into the elevator. The elevator door was opened again. He was already in the underground garage.<\/p>\n<p>Kern gradually rekindled hope. He was late in her life, so there was no need to be jealous of his love with her. There was no way for him to participate in her past, and in her future, it might not be impossible.<\/p>\n<p>He was just&#8230; late.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1456","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1456","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=1456"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
