Chapter 297
\nI’ve Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 297<\/p>\n
Fatty wanted to make a move, but he recalled that gaze. He had never seen such a gaze before.<\/p>\n
A normal person won\u2019t have such a gaze!<\/p>\n
Fatty hesitated.<\/p>\n
\u201cFatty, why are you hesitating!\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace was anxious as she noticed that Fatty was hesitating.<\/p>\n
Now, the only one who could make a move was Fatty. The gangster and the big guy in the lead were heavily injured.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet us go. I promise I won\u2019t pursue tonight\u2019s matter. Otherwise, your guys are badly injured. Can you leave S City tonight?\u201d<\/p>\n
She made a tempting offer, \u201cAs for the money, I\u2019ll give you one million. You can share it. Otherwise \u2026\u201d She glanced at the man aside, who was also seriously injured. If she continued to entangle herself with these people, something might really happen.<\/p>\n
In a hurry, she regained her logic. Her gaze instantly turned fierce.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have two choices.<\/p>\n
First, let us go. I will not pursue tonight\u2019s matter. Tomorrow, one million will be transferred to your account. It\u2019s better for both of us.<\/p>\n
Second, make it severer. Once you leave this place, I will call the police and look for you all over the country with one million.<\/p>\n
Of course, I\u2019m not afraid that you\u2019ll kill us now. Think of it.<\/p>\n
I am a public figure. If I died in this alley for no apparent reason, you would get into a big trouble.<\/p>\n
Both the media and the business world would look for a reason.<\/p>\n
At that time, where could you hide?<\/p>\n
Think about it clearly. Do you want to take one million and leave now, or do you want someone else to take it and you have to hide for the rest of your life?\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace said righteously and magnificently, but her heart was beating fast.<\/p>\n
Only she knew that her palms were covered in sweat.<\/p>\n
When she said this, she was also gambling.<\/p>\n
Fatty looked frightened and wanted to retreat. \u201cBro, I think we should let them go \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShut up!\u201d<\/p>\n
The gangster in the lead looked at Grace\u2019s face with unfathomable eyes. \u201cYou cut off my retreat. Aren\u2019t you afraid that I\u2019ll be anxious and kill you?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is clearly a way for us to achieve both targets. Both of us would be satisfied. However, if you insist on losing both worlds, I can\u2019t do anything,\u201d Grace said slowly. At this moment, she was extremely calm.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know you are smart.<\/p>\n
You just do it for money.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t require you to say anything about the man behind you. Also, I\u2019ve given way. Just think of it in another way. You guys are clearly the ones who hurt us, but I\u2019ll give you one million \u2026 Then \u2026<\/p>\n
Reputation and money. You have both.<\/p>\n
Even a fool knows how to choose.\u201d<\/p>\n
The unfathomable eyes of the gangster flickered. He suddenly laughed.<\/p>\n
\u201cMiss Grace is so kind! Now that you said so, even a fool knows how to choose.<\/p>\n
We are not stupid.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace heaved a sigh of relief. She wanted to catch her breath, but she didn\u2019t dare to take it easy. When the gangster laughed, she also beamed carelessly.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, have we reached a consensus?\u201d<\/p>\n
The more careless she looked, the less the gangster dared to act rashly. \u201cMiss Grace, do you keep your word? How do we know that you won\u2019t take revenge afterwards?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not that stupid. You\u2019re just for money.<\/p>\n
There is an old saying that nobody could keep his caution on thieves for one thousand days. If I call the police to take revenge on you but one of you escape, I won\u2019t have a peaceful life for the rest of my life.<\/p>\n
The life is short. Am I that silly that I\u2019ll keep a hidden time bomb and leave you the opportunities to take revenge on me?\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearing this, the gangster put away his guard and took a deep look at Grace.<\/p>\n
\u201cMiss Grace, you\u2019re indeed formidable.<\/p>\n
With such a few words, you could hit the nail on the head.<\/p>\n
Miss Grace, we\u2019re sorry for what happened today.<\/p>\n
You\u2019re good. We could only praise you.\u201d<\/p>\n
With that, he asked Fatty to support him, \u201cFatty, come on. Help me.\u201d Then, they limped away, with their arms on their shoulders.<\/p>\n
After a long time.<\/p>\n
When Grace no longer heard their footsteps, as she was blown by the wind, she fiercely trembled \u2026 She leaned against the wall and collapsed onto the ground.<\/p>\n
\u201cAh \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t move!\u201d Her face darkened. \u201cDo you believe all I say? Why don\u2019t you think about it by yourself? Is it comfortable to sit on the ground?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAll you say is right. I believe all you say.\u201d<\/p>\n
What naive words! What pure eyes \u2026 What simple trust!<\/p>\n
However, she felt depressed.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou believe … all I say?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s right! Whatever you say, I believe it!\u201d<\/p>\n
She fell silent.<\/p>\n
She was silent for a long time.<\/p>\n
When Caden was embarrassed, he broke the silence, \u201cGrace, it is … not comfortable to sit on the ground. It\u2019s cold.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace glanced over and discovered that Caden was really sitting on the ground when she lowered her head and fell into her thoughts.<\/p>\n
A trace of astonishment flashed through her eyes but disappeared next second.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen \u2026 maybe I am wearing the wrong trousers today. That\u2019s why it\u2019s not comfortable. Next time, I\u2019ll change another pair of trousers,\u201d Caden continued. He thought that Grace did not like him questioning her.<\/p>\n
A beam flashed through Grace\u2019s eyes. \u201cSo, do you believe all I say? No matter it is right or wrong?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes! I believe all you say! And I\u2019ll believe it forever!\u201d<\/p>\n
Caden swore.<\/p>\n
Grace lowered her eyes \u2026 This time, she was silent for dozens of seconds. Then, she raised her hand and said, \u201cThe ground is cold. Help me up.\u201d<\/p>\n
Caden stood up and came over to help her up. When she touched him, he hissed and almost fell to the ground.<\/p>\n
She suddenly remembered that there must be lots of wounds all over Caden\u2019s body. She held one of his arms without saying a word and limped slowly towards home.<\/p>\n
\u201cForever \u2026 You fool. Why can you say \u2018forever\u2019?\u201d<\/p>\n
Forever \u2026 Grace looked calm, but a voice was shouting in her heart, \u201cDon\u2019t believe him. He\u2019s a fool.\u201d<\/p>\n
She squeezed out all the warmth in her body, leaving nothing behind.<\/p>\n
She looked indifferent again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1502","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1502","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=1502"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
