Do you know what\u2019s going on? Fine! Even if the James Group was at its peak, being able to cooperative with Miffel was definitely a good thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grace did not immediately give her an answer. She was stunned, \u201cHow did you know about Miffel?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vivian sneered, \u201cGrace, I know what you\u2019re thinking. Unfortunately, you\u2019re wrong this time. Mr. Cayne came to the office before. Of course, I won\u2019t easily give your number to anyone. When he came looking for you, I saw that he was in a hurry. I asked him and found out that it was because of Miffel. Miffel\u2019s always on the move. It would be a precious opportunity to meet him. But then I knew from Mr. Cayne that you refused him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vivian said impatiently, \u201cGrace, if you are sick, I will not let you go even if you want to.  But you\u2019ve recovered. Then why?\u201d Vivian asked forcefully.<\/p>\n<p>Grace pursed her lips, \u201cNothing. I just don\u2019t want to meet him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat exactly are you thinking about?!\u201d Vivian shouted and hung up.<\/p>\n<p>Twenty minutes later, a hurried doorbell rang in front of Grace\u2019s house.<\/p>\n<p>She thought that the takeout had arrived, but when she opened the door, Vivian rushed in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrace, I don\u2019t believe that you made such a choice without any reason.\u201d Vivian was so angry. She picked up the teacup on the table and poured it into her mouth.<\/p>\n<p>But before she could take a sip, the teacup was snatched away.<\/p>\n<p>Vivian looked at the person and was slightly stunned, \u201cPresident Shaw?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The moment Grace found out about Caden being shot in Rome, Vivian knew about it. Later, when Grace returned, Vivian thought Caden would be out of danger and return to S City.<\/p>\n<p>Vivian was surprised to see Caden with Grace at her home.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Shaw \u2026\u201d Vivian immediately extended her hand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is Grace\u2019s cup. You are not allowed to use it.\u201d Caden glared at Vivian warily. He defensively clasped the cup.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at Caden like this, Vivian felt a little strange. She stared at Caden in confuse. Grace hurriedly blocked Vivian\u2019s sight, \u201cYou go back first. We\u2019ll talk about it in office.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vivian\u2019s eyes flashed with surprise. Was Grace driving her away?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrace! I can\u2019t bear it for that long. You must explain it today. Why would you give up such a good opportunity? This is not you.\u201d Grace could stay up for days for the sake of work. She would never let such an opportunity slip by. For the James Group, this was also a great chance to turn the tables on danger. But Grace just ignored it.<\/p>\n<p>There must be some reason Vivian didn\u2019t know.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrace. I\u2019m cold.\u201d Caden\u2019s childish voice interrupted Vivian\u2019s thought.<\/p>\n<p>Hearing this, Vivian\u2019s mouth opened wide in surprise.<\/p>\n<p>Grace grabbed Caden, \u201cYou go back to your room.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grace could only do that in front of Vivian. She had never expected Vivian to suddenly come to her home.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t that Grace didn\u2019t trust Vivian, but that fewer people knew about this, the safer Caden would be.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrace, is President Shawn &#8230;\u201d Vivian was smart. She had already noticed that something was wrong. Vivian pointed to Caden\u2019s head and gestured.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo&#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCold. I\u2019m cold.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was just a fever!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vivian was getting angrier. Her chest rose and fell with heavy breath.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can find someone to take care of him. We can send him back to the Shaw family. There are so many solutions, but you chose to stay! Do you know that you\u2019re giving up more than just a chance? What you\u2019ve given up is an opportunity for all the employees of the James Group! You ask all of employees to accompany you to choose a difficult and risky path. Grace, you let them all down this time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If Vivian didn\u2019t know the real problem with the group, she wouldn\u2019t be as anxious as she was now.<\/p>\n<p>There was a solution at last, but Grace gave up without a second thought.<\/p>\n<p>Grace was silent. Vivian suddenly stood up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrace, you\u2019re poisoned! You\u2019ve lost your mind! Don\u2019t forget what he did to you in the past!\u201d Vivian realized that she had gone too far. However, she was angrier at Grace\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat he did to you? What was worth giving up on Miffel for him? Had he ever said he was sorry? Did he ever tell you he loved you? Moreover, who knew when he would be able to recover? Do you want to take care of such a child for your life?\u201d Every word was like a saber struck straight at the vital point!<\/p>\n<p>Grace trembled and her hands gripped the sofa tightly to hold on. Vivian showed her the truth without mercy. After Caden was sick, she had intended to leave it at that.<\/p>\n<p>Grace felt she had lost her soul.<\/p>\n<p>Slowly, she raised her head and said, \u201cVivian, if he recovers, I can ignore him instead. I hate Caden, I really do. I only wish I could see him again in hell.\u201d If this person was the original Caden, Grace would get back at him. And Caden could just endure it.<\/p>\n<p>However, Caden was sick now. He had forgotten everything. He couldn\u2019t understand why Grace hated him. Grace could not just tell those dirty things to a child with the mind of an eight-year-old.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is not Caden, not the past Caden. He treats me well in all the ways he can think of, although it is childish. I admit that I\u2019m touched. I\u2019m touched by an eight-year-old child. Vivian, what do you want me to do? Should I push away with my own hands the warmth that I seldom get?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hate him, but not an eight-year-old child.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1488","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1488","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=1488"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
