Chapter 294
\nI’ve Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 294<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know me?\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace ignored the mockery and asked calmly.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are the rich lady of the James Group. How could we not know you?\u201d The guy in the lead swung the baseball, trying to be cool.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow much did the man who hired you pay? I\u2019ll pay double.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWho cares?\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace saw that they did not give in at all. Normally, hooligans only work for money.<\/p>\n
However, these people \u2026 were definitely not like that.<\/p>\n
At the very least, it was not only for money.<\/p>\n
Otherwise, they won\u2019t turn down her offer without hesitation.<\/p>\n
Who?<\/p>\n
In an instant, several people flashed through her mind. She suddenly narrowed her eyes and said, \u201cYour employer is tall, dark-skinned and has a scar on the back of his left hand, right?\u201d<\/p>\n
Although the hooligan concealed it well, he was still surprised for a moment.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t know who you\u2019re talking about.<\/p>\n
Miss James, just remember one thing.<\/p>\n
You are to blame for what happened today.<\/p>\n
We are paid to do it. Today, you will suffer a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n
As he spoke, the guy in the lead signaled to the two subordinates beside him, \u201cDon\u2019t show mercy. Beat her hard.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace\u2019s expression changed drastically. These guys meant it. They were not just trying to scare her.<\/p>\n
A few hoodlums had already swung the baseball bats towards her.<\/p>\n
In crisis, she subconsciously ran towards the light.<\/p>\n
However, she forgot that though she was energetic, she might not be able to run faster than men.<\/p>\n
Not to mention \u2026 with a bang, she was dragged down by her damned legs and fell to the ground. Grace felt so much pain in her coccyx that she took a deep breath.<\/p>\n
\u201cRun? Run again!\u201d Behind her, the man ridiculed, \u201cMiss James, with your half-crippled body, where do you want to go? Be good! We only do it for money. The hirer doesn\u2019t want to kill you. We are paid to cripple one of your arms.\u201d<\/p>\n
He wanted to cripple her arm!<\/p>\n
With a creak, Grace clenched her teeth and glared at the gangster who was walking towards her.<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you want to go to jail by assaulting me?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou! Who do you think we are? The one who can pay to cripple your arm must be capable of sending us away.\u201d The man took out his phone and glanced at it. \u201cHurry up! We still need to flee.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace understood that these people were really going to cripple one of her arms and leave S City tonight.<\/p>\n
She began to doubt her previous guess. Wasn\u2019t it Kirk?<\/p>\n
The hirer could arrange an escape route! Presumably, a small sum of money couldn\u2019t buy over these fugitives to work hard.<\/p>\n
At first, she suspected that they were hired by Kirk, because it was too coincidental. If Kirk did not send her back, she would take a taxi by herself or have someone pick her up at the Shaw\u2019s old mansion, then she would not encounter this group of gangsters tonight.<\/p>\n
Kirk drove her back but put her down on the road that was still some distance away from her home. The place where she got off the car was dark with less people around.<\/p>\n
Then, she encountered this group of hooligans.<\/p>\n
No matter what, Kirk was the prime suspect.<\/p>\n
She believed that Kirk could bribe a group of gangsters.<\/p>\n
However, letting a group of hooligans cripple her, the chairman of the James Group who was kind of a public figure, he had to arrange an escape route for them. Moreover, Kirk did not have the ability to arrange everything in respect of the cost and the escape route.<\/p>\n
To put it bluntly, Kirk was incapable of it.<\/p>\n
If it wasn\u2019t Kirk, then who would be?<\/p>\n
Master Shaw?<\/p>\n
No!<\/p>\n
The man shook off her long hair and slapped her face fiercely. Instantly, half of her cheeks swelled up. She knew that couldn\u2019t see anyone tomorrow with this face.<\/p>\n
That man seemed to have unleashed the evil nature of human, his eyes shining with a wolf\u2019s light. He gasped for breath excitedly, \u201cBitch! You want a good trashing.\u201d<\/p>\n
While cursing, he slapped her twice in the face.<\/p>\n
\u201cBuddy, it\u2019s enough. Let\u2019s do what … James \u2026 do what the employer told us. We still need to run away in the middle of the night. Don\u2019t waste time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace was slapped several times in succession. Her brain was dazed and her ears were buzzing. She seemed to omit some important information.<\/p>\n
Without thinking too much, the leader stretched out his hand and held her down, \u201cFatty, I\u2019ll grab her and you smash the bone in her hand. Don\u2019t miss it. The employer only asks to cripple one hand, not her life.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace\u2019s face was as white as a sheet of paper. She was terrified.<\/p>\n
In the face of violence, who could still be calm?<\/p>\n
Her body was restrained, and the hoodlums surrounded her with ill intentions.<\/p>\n
At this moment, it was as if she had returned to that prison.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet go\u2026 Let go of me \u2026\u201d Her body trembled uncontrollably. The calm in her eyes disappeared. Being frightened, she began to shake violently.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet go of me! Let go of me!\u201d In the end, she screamed, \u201cLet go of me! Let go me! I told you to let go! Let go! Let go!\u201d she struggled and screamed.<\/p>\n
The hooligan who had confined her changed his expression and immediately covered her mouth with his hand.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet … go …!\u201d<\/p>\n
She still struggled violently.<\/p>\n
\u201cShut up! If you keep screaming, I won\u2019t be polite to you!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLet … go …!\u201d However, Grace did not seem to hear it.<\/p>\n
\u201cBuddy, what\u2019s wrong with this bitch?\u201d Fatty asked in confusion.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe was mad! Never mind! Get this done and leave! What a crazy woman!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1499","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1499","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=1499"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
