Chapter 273
\nI’ve Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 273<\/p>\n
\u201cIs it serious?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHow\u2019s the situation?\u201d Vivian was uneasy. Grace said that it was serious, so it must be serious. Why didn\u2019t Vivian know that?<\/p>\n
If the James Group was almost bankrupt, why didn\u2019t Vivian know about it?<\/p>\n
Besides Vivian, why didn\u2019t the people who followed Grace from the Wei\u2019ai Foundation notice that?<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat…?\u201d<\/p>\n
Once again, Grace interrupted her.<\/p>\n
\u201cFormer president Jafar embezzled most of the James Group\u2019s circulating fund.\u201d<\/p>\n
Vivian was shocked!<\/p>\n
How could it be?<\/p>\n
Jafar embezzled most of the James Group\u2019s circulating fund illegally.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy hasn\u2019t anyone noticed that in the group?\u201d Vivian said quickly because she was anxious.<\/p>\n
\u201cI knew that when I got the financial report.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy didn\u2019t you do something?\u201d<\/p>\n
Vivian wanted to know the reason.<\/p>\n
Grace who sat on the back seat put down the documents and looked up. \u201cVivian, he\u2019s my father.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace didn\u2019t say anything else. Vivian had mixed feelings. She looked at Grace.<\/p>\n
Grace wasn\u2019t tall, and she was even petite. If she was in the crowd and stood beside a tall man, she was delicate.<\/p>\n
Grace was thin as if she would be blown down by wind.<\/p>\n
No one would believe that such a petite woman was so strong.<\/p>\n
No one would believe that she shouldered such a heavy burden from she took over the James Group.<\/p>\n
Jafar embezzled the public fund illegally. Jafar used despicable means to transfer most of the circulating fund of the group.<\/p>\n
However, Grace couldn\u2019t sue him.<\/p>\n
Vivian was wrong. It wasn\u2019t because Grace couldn\u2019t sue him, but it was because…<\/p>\n
\u201cJafar owes you a lot.\u201d Vivian\u2019s eyes were red.<\/p>\n
No wonder Grace tried her best for the cooperation.<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t because of her pursuit of perfection. It was because Grace couldn\u2019t afford to lose this battle.<\/p>\n
Jafar wasn\u2019t a responsible father!<\/p>\n
Vivian recalled the gossip in the group.<\/p>\n
Vivian recalled what she heard in the company bathroom.<\/p>\n
She recalled that some employees scolded Grace for being ungrateful, being unfilial and being disobedient secretly.<\/p>\n
However, these people didn\u2019t know the situation of the group!<\/p>\n
They thought that Grace obtained a large amount of assets. In an instant, she became rich. Even the Jameses, Mrs. James, and Payne were envious of her for this large amount of assets.<\/p>\n
Grace said indifferently, \u201cI\u2019m not that nice. But I\u2019m his daughter. I need to take the responsibility. Nuwa (a goddess in Chinese mythology) used seven days to create humans. He gave me life.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace looked down and stopped. Jafar could do this, but she couldn\u2019t sue his father. Her dead Grandfather didn\u2019t want them to fight with each other.<\/p>\n
She wanted to protect the little bit of light that was left.<\/p>\n
She was selfish. If the last bit of light was extinguished, she didn\u2019t know what she would look like.<\/p>\n
What she protected was her own precious treasure. It had nothing to do with Jafar or anyone else.<\/p>\n
She worked desperately and tried her best to grasp what she had.<\/p>\n
Grace forgot that she couldn\u2019t catch the sand in her hands and it flowed away quickly.<\/p>\n
They parked the car at the entrance of the company.<\/p>\n
\u201cVivian, we must win.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOK!\u201d<\/p>\n
When they got out of the car, Grace said that to Vivian. Vivian cheered up.<\/p>\n
When Grace and Vivian arrived, the other representatives of the James Group had arrived.<\/p>\n
Apart from Grace and Vivian, there were six elites of the James Group.<\/p>\n
This was a tough battle. They must win.<\/p>\n
This was a foreign-funded enterprise.<\/p>\n
After they entered the company, they felt the cultural difference.<\/p>\n
Jafar embezzled most of the James Group\u2019s circulating fund. If they didn\u2019t get new investment, the James Group would collapse soon. The rule of the market was cruel. Many people would seize the opportunity to get their market. The James Group would be taken over.<\/p>\n
Of course, Grace could turn to the Shaw Group for help.<\/p>\n
Vivian looked at Grace. Grace was reluctant to do that. If Grace was willing to seek help from the Shaw Group, she wouldn\u2019t work so hard.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s leave,\u201d Vivian said, turned around and left first.<\/p>\n
They all left. The meeting room was empty.<\/p>\n
A man stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the meeting room. He was smoking. The smoke floated away.<\/p>\n
Grace felt awkward. The man kept silent.<\/p>\n
The man said that he wanted to meet her alone.<\/p>\n
Ever since she entered the meeting room, the man ignored her.<\/p>\n
Grace calmed down and smiled enthusiastically.<\/p>\n
She walked towards him and stopped when she was three meters away from him. This was a safe and comfortable for people. It wasn\u2019t rude and presumptuous. \u201cHello, Mr. Filocci, nice to meet you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGrace,\u201d he replied.<\/p>\n
Grace looked up and met his gazes.<\/p>\n
Her face turned pale in an instant.<\/p>\n
Her face was pale. She calmed down, smiled again and corrected the way she addressed him, \u201cMr. Cayne.\u201d She took a deep breath, stretched out her hand and said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m Grace from the James Group. Nice to meet you, Mr. Cayne.\u201d Her performance was perfect.<\/p>\n
The man was disappointed. She was polite to him. He didn\u2019t want her to be polite to him, because it meant that she was wary of him.<\/p>\n
He felt that his attitude towards her was strange.<\/p>\n
For decades, chasing girls was his goal in life. He was interested in chasing girls one after another. After these girls fell in love with him, he started to find his next target.<\/p>\n
Grace was one of his targets in his life. He wanted to chase and conquer her like what he did to other girls.<\/p>\n
There were many women who were more beautiful than Grace. There were many who were better proportioned than Grace. There were many who were more arrogant than Grace. There were many women who were cuter or more scheming than Grace. There were many women who were more interesting than Grace.<\/p>\n
However, he only remembered Grace.<\/p>\n
He looked down and smiled bitterly. He didn\u2019t want her to notice that.<\/p>\n
Grace wasn\u2019t beautiful, sexy, arrogant and charming. She was inconspicuous. Once she was one of his targets. She wasn\u2019t special. She was like his other targets. However, he had remembered she for the past few years. He couldn\u2019t forget her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1478","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1478","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=1478"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
