Chapter 292
\nI’ve Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 292<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, you\u2019re going to learn from Cinderella in the TV show \u2026 for love?\u201d Master Shaw looked at Grace with a fake smile.<\/p>\n
Obviously, he was mocking Grace\u2019s \u201clove\u201d.<\/p>\n
Grace gave a self-deprecating chuckle \u2026 She had thought that her only true love would end happily, but it turned out to be a joke in the eyes of others.<\/p>\n
It was just \u2026 I\u2019m sorry, Master Shaw. Her eyes turned sharp. Master Shaw\u2019s intention was not as simple as it seemed.<\/p>\n
If he wanted to get rid of her, he had thousands of methods. There was no need to choose this stupid one.<\/p>\n
Even if he did, why now?<\/p>\n
He could have done it, but why at this moment?<\/p>\n
Grace\u2019s eyes swept past Kirk, who was behind Master Shaw silently. Her mind ran rapidly. Ever since Caden appeared in the Erhai Lake, there was no sight of Kirk.<\/p>\n
When she returned to S City from the Erhai Lake, she had never seen Kirk.<\/p>\n
This meant that Kirk had been marginalized.<\/p>\n
However, Kirk was someone close to Caden. He grew up with Caden like the other nine people. The brotherhood between the ten of them was deep.<\/p>\n
Even if Caden ignored him, the other nine people might still be in contact with him privately.<\/p>\n
She did not believe that Ladd, Saul and the others would betray Caden.<\/p>\n
However, since they grew up together, Kirk might discern something from the words and deeds of the nine of them.<\/p>\n
Moreover, Caden had disappeared for a while.<\/p>\n
As for Ladd, Saul and the others, they were also gone from the radar. Ingemar took charge of the company, but he was not a Shaw. Caden should show up now.<\/p>\n
No wonder \u2026 No wonder Gloria was suspicious.<\/p>\n
How could Master Shaw, who was as cunny as a fox, didn\u2019t sense the strangeness when even Gloria noticed something wrong?<\/p>\n
She looked at the suitcase on the table. Master Shaw\u2019s purpose was to test her.<\/p>\n
Three years ago, she had almost gambled everything on a chance to escape from Caden.<\/p>\n
Master Shaw was very thoughtful. Three years ago, she had risked everything to run away. Now, Master Shaw had purposely offered her generous conditions to leave. This should have been something she dreamed of.<\/p>\n
If something did happen to Caden, then she could leave easily.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, once she accepted Master Shaw\u2019s offer and left overnight unthinkingly, it meant that something really happened to Caden.<\/p>\n
She would be able to leave unscrupulously when she wasn\u2019t under Caden\u2019s control.<\/p>\n
Otherwise, as long as Caden was still fine, he would not let her leave.<\/p>\n
When Grace was stopped by Kirk, she was thinking about what would happen tonight.<\/p>\n
She was still guessing when she met Master Shaw in the Shaw\u2019s old mansion. With the box in front of her, she believed that Master Shaw was going to chase her away.<\/p>\n
But the more she looked at the things in the box, the more shocked she became. Master Shaw was too generous.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaster Shaw, you know my point better than anyone else,\u201d Grace said lightly, \u201cYou should convince your grandson instead of me.\u201d<\/p>\n
On the lined face, Master Shaw\u2019s shriveled lips were tightly pursed. His gaze landed sternly on Grace, as if to see through her.<\/p>\n
He was more confused to see Grace turn him down casually without considering his offer\u2026 Could it be that he was overthinking it?<\/p>\n
It was true that Caden was his grandson and he used to favor him. But Caden was disobedient and aggressive.<\/p>\n
As a Shaw, it was good to be aggressive\u2026 But he was more aggressive than his grandfather. Master Shaw\u2019s cloudy pupils turned cold.<\/p>\n
He looked at the woman standing in the hall. The more he looked at her, the more he saw her as an eyesore. Since he couldn\u2019t get anything, it was useless to keep her.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, since that\u2019s the case, I have nothing to say.\u201d He asked Sam who was standing beside him, \u201cWhat time is it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMaster Shaw, it\u2019s almost twelve o\u2019clock.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay,\u201d Master Shaw muttered and stood up with his walking stick, \u201cIt\u2019s late. Why didn\u2019t you remind me to rest? Never let it happen again.\u201d<\/p>\n
His words sounded like a reproach.<\/p>\n
Sam lowered his eyes and said, \u201cYes, sir.\u201d<\/p>\n
Master Shaw left Grace alone in the hall of the old mansion.<\/p>\n
Kirk walked towards Grace and said, \u201cThis way.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace accepted Kirk\u2019s kindness and followed him until she left the mansion. The night wind blew in her face, and she trembled.<\/p>\n
Behind her was the gate of the old mansion, tightly shut \u2026 It was really \u2026 A trace of a mocking smile appeared on her face.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1497","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1497","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=1497"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
