What a filial daughter!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He was extremely angry. He didn\u2019t want to hand the James Group over, but the James Group would completely collapse if he didn\u2019t agree to Grace\u2019s request.<\/p>\n<p>He knew it very well that he would be still a rich man with houses, cars and servants if the James Group was there. Without it, he was nothing.<\/p>\n<p>Even unwilling to do so, Jafar handed over most of the shares of the James Group to Grace.<\/p>\n<p>However, he could find nowhere to vent his anger.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, Mrs. James had to bear the brunt of his temper.<\/p>\n<p>But Jafar had forgotten that he had already been a scum who had betrayed his wife in Mrs. James\u2019s heart.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJafar James, what kind of right do you have to accuse me of?  Did I ever teach Grace? It was your dad! If you want to blame someone, why don\u2019t you go underground to look for your dead father?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Without thinking, Mrs. James said out those words. She hated Jafar so much now.<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly, she laughed, \u201cJafar James, are you worried that you don\u2019t have the money to support your shameful illegitimate son?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She felt momentary gratification with a gloating look.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t care about Payne being sick.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are all on that vamp and your shameful son she gave birth to. What\u2019s next? If Payne is gone, do you plan to give the entire group to that little bastard of unknown origin in your will?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He slapped her right away.<\/p>\n<p>This crisp slap made Mrs. James spin around and fell to the ground. \u201cYou slap me!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jafar rolled up his sleeves and looked coldly at the elderly woman on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou called him bastard? You swore him and deserved to be beaten!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. James shouted, stood up, and pounced towards Jafar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJafar James, you\u2019re incorrigible! I have given birth to your children, taken charge of the family, and helped you handle all the matters home and away. However, you have betrayed me and had an affair, and you even have another baby with a bitch! Your illegitimate son is a bastard! He is not only a bastard, but a shit!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. James\u2019s exquisite hair was in a mess. She kicked and hammered at Jafar. When Jafar was about to hit her again, Mrs. James yelled, \u201cCome on! Hit me! The James Group now belongs to my daughter! Hit me!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These words stopped Jafar\u2019s hands. His face turned pale. He glared at Mrs. James with hatred and scolded her, \u201cShrew!\u201d Then he turned around and left.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. James chased after him, \u201cJafar, where are you going? You\u2019re going to see that bitch again, aren\u2019t you? Don\u2019t go! Jafar, come back! You are not allowed to leave!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. James staggered out, but Jafar was totally impatient. He didn\u2019t care about Mrs. James at all. He left the house so quickly that Mrs. James couldn\u2019t catch up with him.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. James fell to the ground again. Even so, she was still stretching out her arms and trying to catch the person in front of her, but she couldn\u2019t reach him at all. \u201cJafar James, you have no conscience. Jafar, you\u2019re not allowed to go! You can\u2019t go! Come back!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At such a night, the pitiful and shrill cries of a woman came from the villa.<\/p>\n<p>Jafar had long since disappeared.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. James sat at the gate, covering her face and crying.<\/p>\n<p>The sounds were a bit thrilling and frightening at night.<\/p>\n<p>The servants didn\u2019t dare to approach. They all looked at Mrs. James who sat on the threshold and cried miserably with messy hair and clothes.<\/p>\n<p>The housekeeper couldn\u2019t do anything. No one had expected that the James family would collapse overnight. Mr. James had rarely come back. Even if he had, he would just have taken something and then left. Now, Mr. James was no longer here and Mrs. James was in such a situation. The young master was still ill in the hospital. They didn\u2019t even know if he could be cured.<\/p>\n<p>All was totally messed up!<\/p>\n<p>The old butler stealthily retreated and walked to the phone. He called Grace and said, \u201cMiss James, please hurry back. Mr. James hit Mrs. James just now. Mrs. James is crying.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Shaw, what exactly are you trying to say?\u201d Grace was a little tired. After she had returned to S City from Erhai Lake, she had battled hardly with Jafar James. In the end, Jafar had reluctantly handed over 90% of the shares of the James Group.<\/p>\n<p>Only after that had she known that the James Group was already in turmoil. Without Caden, the James Group was still in a dangerous situation.<\/p>\n<p>It required a lot of time and energy to rectify these things. She had been very tired. Now she also had to face this man, who acted strangely.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Shaw, what exactly do you want to say!\u201d She was so tired. Even if she could clearly feel the danger around, she still wanted to close her eyes.<\/p>\n<p>She did not even notice it. She sat on the bed, leaning against the front and nodding her head, almost falling asleep.<\/p>\n<p>The next second, the bed sank. She became sober and her sleepiness temporarily went away. With pale face and white lips, she looked at the man beside her, \u201cYou said \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the next moment, she was pulled into the blanket, and the man beside her tightly held her shoulders. A deep and hoarse voice came.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI haven\u2019t had sex for three years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grace was shocked. She reached out to push him.<\/p>\n<p>However, her wrist was suddenly clasped tightly in his palm.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou said it!\u201d Anger, despair and unwillingness raised in her heart.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI did promise that, but I did not promise not to do anything else.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m so tired now. I just want to hug you to sleep. If you agree and let me do that, I promise I won\u2019t do anything else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Caden intimidated her, \u201cGrace, don\u2019t move. I haven\u2019t had sex for three years.\u201d Grace\u2019s face turned even paler. The person beside her was breathing heavily. She was frightened by his hoarse voice.<\/p>\n<p>He was so shameless!<\/p>\n<p>The color of Grace\u2019s face came and went.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1460","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1460","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=1460"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
