Grace\u2019s expression was extremely strange, which made her heartbeat rapid.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf grandfather is still alive,\u201d Grace was calm, \u201cyou will be killed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Seeing a flicker of suspicion flashed across her eyes, Grace just stared at her soberly. \u201cNo need to doubt it. What you think is right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Natural calamities or man-made misfortunes\u2026 Everything you can think of.<\/p>\n<p>And those you didn\u2019t expect.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCar accident, a fall from a tall building, drowning, disease, fire, kidnapping \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStop!\u201d before Grace could finish her words, Nora cried out in fright with her face pale, \u201cStop talking!\u201d She stared at Grace in horror. What a scary woman!<\/p>\n<p>She was actually able to speak out these terrible things emotionlessly.<\/p>\n<p>They were all about \u201ckilling\u201d!<\/p>\n<p>Sure enough, Grace was not ordinary. She was a murderer!<\/p>\n<p>She had always known that Jafar\u2019s daughter had been in prison for some reason. And she had even laughed at her with her friends. She only regarded Grace as their laughingstock.<\/p>\n<p>But now, she was actually in the face of a murderer!<\/p>\n<p>She was somewhat regretful. She had just hurried here and didn\u2019t make full preparation.<\/p>\n<p>She carefully studied Grace who could talk about killings so calmly, worrying she would really make it.<\/p>\n<p>However, as she saw her son who was standing beside her from the corner of her eyes, she restrained her fear. \u201cI &#8230; I can do anything as long as Ollie can be recognized and return to the James family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Actually, Jafar still had some money. She had been with Jafar since she was twenty years old. In the past dozen or so years, he had never treated her shabbily. Compared with Mrs. James, she only lacked the status and even got more from Jafar.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, over the past decade or so, she had clearly realized that for the upper-class, money was not such an important thing.<\/p>\n<p>And Jafar had nothing expect money.<\/p>\n<p>Not to mention that the money he had wasn\u2019t much.<\/p>\n<p>How could Jafar\u2019s assets be comparable to a large enterprise like the James Group?<\/p>\n<p>Only by returning to the James family would Ollie be promising.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh \u2026 so you shouldn\u2019t come to see me.<\/p>\n<p>You should go find Mrs. James. Only after she agrees will your son be recognized as a member of the James family.<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Dyer, according to my ID card, my surname is Shaw, not James.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Unwilling to give up, Nora wanted to say something more. Taking a glance at her, Grace directly stopped her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell,\u201d she looked at Ollie,<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPayne has leukemia and needs a bone marrow transplant. Being the son of Mr. James, Ollie surely has ties of blood with Payne. Why don\u2019t you go find Mrs. James and have a check-up? If their bone marrow matches, I think Mrs. James might agree to your request.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As she casually spoke, Nora who was pleading felt shocked. Her ears hummed and her hands couldn\u2019t help but shake while holing Ollie\u2019s hand.<\/p>\n<p>She would never think that Grace actually wanted to hurt Ollie!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJafar said that his daughter was fierce to strangers and was actually very soft-hearted while facing her families. Mrs. James had treated her like this, but as long as she implored her, no matter how strong her grudge was, she wouldn\u2019t bear to leave that ugly woman and her son alone.<\/p>\n<p>You see, she has been back to S City, hasn\u2019t she? \u201c<\/p>\n<p>Nora returned home.<\/p>\n<p>Jafar was reading the newspaper.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI went to the Shaw\u2019s.\u201d Nora had concealed it from Jafar about going to find Grace, but now, as she wanted him to make a fake identification. Nora told him the truth after thinking for a long while.<\/p>\n<p>Jafar paused for a moment before turning the newspaper. \u201cFor what did you go to the Shaw\u2019s?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nora changed into her housecoat, which made her looked sexy and energetic as a young woman. She said in a wronged tone, \u201cI\u2019m going to beg your daughter to help recognize Ollie as a James.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jafar\u2019s face suddenly turned dark, but his voice was gentle, \u201cSo what? I have been cold-shouldered since I\u2019m getting old and useless?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nora knew him well. The older he got, the weirder he became. Especially when he was not so vigorous, he became more and more demented while having sex.<\/p>\n<p>As she had suffered it, she must make her son be recognized as a James. Otherwise, why would she stay with an old man?<\/p>\n<p>Though dissatisfied, she stood behind Jafar and gently kneaded his shoulders. She said in an extremely wronged tone, making him couldn\u2019t help but feel sorry for her, \u201cYou know that I myself don\u2019t want anything. It\u2019s just because that a few days ago, Mrs. James went to Ollie\u2019s school to make such a fuss and made him so ashamed in front of his classmates.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t want anything of the James family. All I want is Ollie can be recognized and be able to live as a dignified and imposing child.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While saying with a wronged look, Nora peeked at Jafar. Sure enough, the old man hesitated. Seeing the time came, Nora played her trump card. She softly leaned against him just like a butterfly with her slender arms wrapping around his neck. \u201cHoney~\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As getting old and useless, Jafar liked it best.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing him relieved and smiling, Nora sneered with a glimmer of disgust in her eyes. The damn old man! He was actually a freak!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1468","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1468","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=1468"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
