Chapter 306
\nI’ve Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 306<\/p>\n
When Cayne heard the word hunter again, he found that He disliked the word more and more.<\/p>\n
Her eyes were incomparably clear and rational. At this moment, he felt a sense of embarrassment that was thoroughly seen through by others.<\/p>\n
She said there was no difference between the money of the past and the opportunity.<\/p>\n
He really wanted to say that they were different.<\/p>\n
However, in the next moment, he couldn\u2019t refute it. Was there a difference?<\/p>\n
He naturally understood her meaning. If he wasn\u2019t so proficient in words, he could pretend that he didn\u2019t understand.<\/p>\n
His hands gradually grew powerless.<\/p>\n
There was no warmth in his palm. He stared at the woman\u2019s arm. It was strange that such a thin arm could easily fill the void in his palm.<\/p>\n
It was strange that he felt so empty when her arm had disappeared from his palm.<\/p>\n
In his eyes, the woman in front of him was vague. It was as if she was just an illusion.<\/p>\n
Hunter?<\/p>\n
He hated the word.<\/p>\n
He could hear her rational response and see her clear eyes.<\/p>\n
He also glanced at her black hair all the way down to her waist.<\/p>\n
He couldn\u2019t accept it!<\/p>\n
He couldn\u2019t accept it at all!<\/p>\n
They were so close before. He could even remember the feeling when her hands were in his hands. It was so real!<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re wrong.\u201d Cayne said, \u201cYou locked yourself in a cage. The name of the cage is the past. Grace, I look forward, but you look back.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is why you\u2019ll never be able to see me from your perspective.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cayne said those words unhappily. His heart was filled with eagerness to control everything. He asked her,<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you think it is fair to me?\u201d<\/p>\n
The woman\u2019s shoulders trembled slightly and her eyelashes gently moved. She opened her pale lips slightly, and wanted to say something. But she didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
Her gaze landed on the man\u2019s angry eyes. Instead, she calmed down.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I still have time…\u201d She paused for a moment, and her eyes sparkled slightly. \u201cIf I have a choice, I will pretend to be arrogant and find Miffel to give up this opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHuh. You don\u2019t want to owe me a favor, do you?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
She said silently.<\/p>\n
But she didn\u2019t answer him.<\/p>\n
\u201cCayne, anyway, I\u2019m very grateful for your help. Naturally, at the end of the day, I will repay you generously. I will not let you help me for nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDamn it. I don\u2019t want your return!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut there\u2019s only one thing I want,\u201d the man cursed impatiently. His chest heaved violently as he stared at her.\u201d If you want to thank me, give yourself to me. I won\u2019t accept anything else.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her head ached a little. It didn\u2019t make sense.<\/p>\n
\u201cThree years ago, I admitted that I was wrong.<\/p>\n
Isn\u2019t there a saying in China all will be forgiven if you correct your mistakes?<\/p>\n
Do you want to lock yourself in the past forever?<\/p>\n
Grace!\u201d<\/p>\n
He was rarely agitated. Cayne stared at her back. He was an excellent hunter, and he had always been disciplined. But today, at this moment, he did not want to stick to damn discipline!<\/p>\n
He wanted to indulge once!<\/p>\n
He said that she was a gambler, but at this moment, he was the gambler.<\/p>\n
When she was about to disappear from the door, he rushed over, suddenly hugging her.<\/p>\n
Grace suddenly stiffened. She pursed her lips tightly and clenched her hands tightly. She pushed him away. She was not used to the intimacy from others.<\/p>\n
She made the instructions in her mind.<\/p>\n
Forbidden.<\/p>\n
She was a qualified practitioner, and she had to get rid of the embrace behind her. It was warm. There was no doubt that Cayne\u2019s chest was warm. For many years, she had longed for the warmth and it was fine no matter who would give it to her.<\/p>\n
But now, after those thousands of days, she was no longer used to being close to others.<\/p>\n
Not to mention Cayne.<\/p>\n
\u201cI admit that I am despicable, but Grace, please walk out of the cage of the past.\u201d<\/p>\n
He mentioned the cage several times. She was inexplicably irritated, and became angry.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen cage?<\/p>\n
When do I live in the past?<\/p>\n
Mr. Cayne, I\u2019m afraid you\u2019re hallucinating.<\/p>\n
There was no such thing as a cage of the past.<\/p>\n
Look at me. I\u2019m fine now.\u201d<\/p>\n
She scolded angrily.<\/p>\n
She struggled to get out of his embrace.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t understand what you\u2019re saying. All I know is that I\u2019m fine now.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFine? Really? Grace, you\u2019re a self-deceiving liar! Are you really fine? What about Payne\u2019s illness and the things that happened to your family?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGrace, are you really fine?\u201d<\/p>\n
The man couldn\u2019t help but say directly. He suddenly stopped talking. He forced himself to calm down, and closed his eyes. He opened his eyes again. However, when he touched her long hair, his eyes lit up and he couldn\u2019t help but blurt out,<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t live in the past?\u201d<\/p>\n
Then why do you keep long hair? Who are you waiting for?<\/p>\n
Waiting for Caden?<\/p>\n
Is he that good?\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace\u2019s delicate face turned deathly pale instantly.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet go!\u201d<\/p>\n
She panicked and became confused. She lost control.<\/p>\n
Ran.<\/p>\n
Just ran.<\/p>\n
Just ran away.<\/p>\n
If she escaped, maybe she could forget all this.<\/p>\n
If she couldn\u2019t see or hear, then she wouldn\u2019t be in a chaotic state, and she wouldn\u2019t feel suffocating pain.<\/p>\n
She thought so, and did so.<\/p>\n
The moment when she escaped, Cayne\u2019s eyes were filled with unwillingness!<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t believe it!<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t believe that he was worse than Caden.<\/p>\n
Money, power, appearance. He had all of these that a successful man should have.<\/p>\n
He never failed to get women he wanted before.<\/p>\n
Men\u2019s desire was sometimes really terrifying. It was so terrifying that it made him lose control. Cayne\u2019s eyes were filled with unwillingness. Her struggle aroused the desire that had been suppressed in his heart.<\/p>\n
\u201cAren\u2019t you afraid that I will break the contract? Aren\u2019t you afraid that the cooperation between our two companies will stop?\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace took a deep breath. \u201cIf you break the contract unilaterally, I\u2019m afraid you\u2019ll have to pay a high penalty.\u201d<\/p>\n
She stated the fact calmly.<\/p>\n
The man smiled faintly.<\/p>\n
\u201cI do need money.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, the reason why the James Group wants to cooperate with me is probably because of our core technology, right?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf the capital chain of the James Group is broken, the liquidated damages in my company can\u2019t help you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat the James Group really cares about is the sharing of our core technology after the cooperation. That\u2019s the necessary condition to help the James Group out of trouble, right?\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace swallowed her saliva. She didn\u2019t refute. What she and the James Group really valued was indeed the sharing of the core technology after the collaboration.<\/p>\n
The trouble of the James Group was not something that could be remedied by a penalty.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou already knew?\u201d This man was so shrewd. He should have known it. At the beginning of the cooperation, although she did not conceal anything when the contract was signed, at this moment, she felt like someone was clear about her weakness.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat if it is? And what is your choice?\u201d<\/p>\n
His gaze was burning as he stared at her.<\/p>\n
Yes, he was despicable.<\/p>\n
Cayne didn\u2019t know that at this moment, he was more like a gambler in danger. He was gambling on the last chance, even if it was despicable and insignificant.<\/p>\n
Even though he seemed to already know the answer, and even if it was his last chance, he would still move forward.<\/p>\n
At this moment, was Cayne really just obsessed with unwillingness and desire to win?<\/p>\n
Now, neither of them thought about this question. They did not think about it, nor did they have the time to think about it.<\/p>\n
Grace pinched her hand tightly. She almost made herself bleeding.<\/p>\n
At this moment, she actually hated Jafar.<\/p>\n
Even if Jafar ignored her back then, she was just disappointed, and then told herself that her choice was different from Jafar.<\/p>\n
Even when she firstly managed the company, she noticed that Jafar had secretly transferred a lot of cashes, causing the capital chain to break. She had never hated Jafar as much as she did now.<\/p>\n
If the capital chain of the James Group hadn\u2019t been broken, then she wouldn\u2019t have had to make such a choice.<\/p>\n
It was very difficult to make the choice. On the one hand, there were thousands of employees and thousands of families. People in the hospital were waiting for money to pay for medical fees…<\/p>\n
On the one hand, she was at a loss. It was as if she had returned to the Royal Club three years ago and she had become a plaything that she was willing to sell everything in front of money.<\/p>\n
Did she have to go back to that?<\/p>\n
What should she do?<\/p>\n
She took a deep breath and looked ahead, \u201cAre you really going to do this?\u201d<\/p>\n
Instead of answering directly, he asked, \u201cGrace, what is your choice?\u201d<\/p>\n
She was silent and stretched out her hand. Without saying a word, she opened the door in front of her.<\/p>\n
The man behind her suddenly became anxious.<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t believe it!<\/p>\n
He refused to admit it!<\/p>\n
Even so, couldn\u2019t he make her stay with him?<\/p>\n
He abruptly held her head. Looking at her beautiful face, he kissed her lips. The instant he touched her, he was like a child that had obtained the candy he had longed for a long time. He felt a strong sense of trembling and he suddenly trembled.<\/p>\n
He tightened his grip on the woman\u2019s head. One second, two seconds, three seconds. An indescribable strange feeling surged out of his heart.<\/p>\n
After a while, he stopped and let her go. Looking at her, he met her clear pupils. A flash of pain flashed through his eyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy aren\u2019t you hiding?\u201d<\/p>\n
She looked down gently and said, \u201cAre you satisfied?\u201d Her hoarse words echoed in the confined space.<\/p>\n
However, it was like a sharp knife that mercilessly stabbed into the man\u2019s heart.<\/p>\n
His face turned pale instantly.<\/p>\n
His face turned pale as he stared at her and clenched his teeth tightly. He gritted his teeth and his teeth almost creaked. His arm finally loosened in frustration. He closed his eyes.<\/p>\n
It also hid the pain that people could not feel.<\/p>\n
His heart ached. He had never had this kind of feeling before in his life.<\/p>\n
His heart ached. His ribs ached, and his internal organs ached. His body was really weird. When one place hurt, then each part of his body hurt. Even his back seemed to have been suppressed by something, causing him to feel extremely painful.<\/p>\n
As time passed, no one broke the silence. There was only the sound of breathing, which made it even quieter.<\/p>\n
The door was opened, making a faint sound.<\/p>\n
Suddenly, her arm was tightly gripped. She was shocked and turned around, \u201cYou…\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo urgent? Tomorrow is fine.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo need.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBy the way, Mrs. James came a few times during your absence. Your brother\u2019s health is getting worse and worse.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace glanced at the text message and tightly pursed her lips.<\/p>\n
Her small and exquisite face was inexplicably resolute.<\/p>\n
She only replied with a word, \u201cUnderstood.\u201d<\/p>\n
She bought a ticket that took off at night. Before taking off, she called again and asked if Payne\u2019s matching model had been found.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease hurry up and look for a match model. As for the fee, I promise to give you Wei\u2019ai Foundation. I will do my best.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMiss Grace, we are searching. Please don\u2019t be too anxious.\u201d<\/p>\n
When she put down the phone, she felt helpless. In this world, she couldn\u2019t find a match for it.<\/p>\n
The phone was ringing. It was an unfamiliar number. Originally, she wanted to hang up, but she accidentally pressed the button. As soon as she connected it, a voice filled with anger immediately sounded,<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy didn\u2019t you answer my phone? Grace, you hang up the phone black. You are too merciless.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYour brother is in danger. Forget it if you don\u2019t save him, but now you even put my number into the blacklist.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI called you more than a dozen times. If Payne hadn\u2019t reminded me that you might have blacklisted my phone number, I wouldn\u2019t have thought of calling you with another phone.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGrace, how can you do this? Don\u2019t you care about your family at all?\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace\u2019s ears buzzed when she heard this.<\/p>\n
It took her a long time to remember that she had indeed blacklisted the number of the James family. It was because she did not want to be called 24 hours a day.<\/p>\n
The person on the phone was Payne\u2019s mother as well as the mother who gave birth to her. However, she just said that Grace was too merciless and refused to save her brother.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen why don\u2019t you think about it? My life is also important!\u201d<\/p>\n
She couldn\u2019t bear it anymore, so Grace shouted loudly over the phone.<\/p>\n
Then she immediately hung up the phone. Then she immediately blacklisted the number.<\/p>\n
Not long after, her phone rang again.<\/p>\n
\u201cHello.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou still blacklisted the number!\u201d<\/p>\n
She hung up again.<\/p>\n
After that, she had a nightmare. When she blacklisted a number and then her mother would call her again by another phone. She blacklisted a dozen phone numbers. But her mother didn\u2019t stop, and Grace was so angry that she even wanted to laugh.<\/p>\n
Another call came. This time, she pressed the button to bet on what that woman wanted to say to her. She wanted to know what her mother, who shared her blood, whould say to her on earth.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrace! Let me tell you! If Payne dies, you are not the member of the James family anymore!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI am not the member of the James family long ago.\u201d She sneered. She thought that her mother had some extraordinary means. Expulsion, disowning her and so on. Didn\u2019t she already do it all years ago?<\/p>\n
\u201cYou…\u201d Mrs. Jane stuttered and shouted angrily,<\/p>\n
\u201cAnyway, as a member of the James family, you are Payne\u2019s younger sister. You should donate your bone marrow for your brother!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI am a patient with only one kidney. Do you want me to donate bone marrow?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve already asked the doctor. You can live with a kidney. There are so many people with one kidney in the world. Besides, donating bone marrow isn\u2019t a problem. It can save your brother\u2019s life though the odds are slim!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are so many people with one kidney in the world?\u201d She muttered to herself, \u201cThough the odds are slim?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMrs. James, which famous doctor told you these?\u201d She sneered.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t have to worry about this!\u201d<\/p>\n
What an arrogant attitude. \u201cWhat if I don\u2019t?\u201d Grace\u2019s gaze gradually cooled.<\/p>\n
The other party was completely angered.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t be so merciless!<\/p>\n
What do you want?<\/p>\n
The James Group is yours.<\/p>\n
It should belong to your brother!<\/p>\n
Your brother has already given you the James Group. All you need to do is just to donate bone marrow to him. Is that too much to do?<\/p>\n
You can\u2019t be so heartless!<\/p>\n
Now, the James Group is yours, and the money is yours as well. If there\u2019s anything else you want, I\u2019ll give it to you. I beg you to save your brother, okay?\u201d<\/p>\n
In the airport lounge, a woman was sitting alone in a chair in the corner. It seemed that she was trying to endure something, and her entire body trembled uncontrollably.<\/p>\n
Grace clenched her fists tighter, squeezing out a sentence word by word from her mouth, \u201cIf you like the James Group so much, then just take it!\u201d<\/p>\n
She had already put in too much effort for that mess, and she also did a lot that she was unwilling to do.<\/p>\n
They all thought it was precious. Huh!<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t you want it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBack then, you spent a lot. I didn\u2019t believe that you are willing to give it up. You\u2019re a liar or a fool.\u201d<\/p>\n
She closed her eyes and listened to the voice on the phone.<\/p>\n
\u201cIsn\u2019t that so?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou. What do you mean?\u201d<\/p>\n
She looked down. Wasn\u2019t she that fool?<\/p>\n
However, Grace did not explain anything to the person on the phone. On the other end of the phone, she began to threaten and entice Grace to donate bone marrow for Payne.<\/p>\n
Hearing the words on the phone, Grace was angry.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can tell Payne that he could die without worry,\u201d Grace said coldly.<\/p>\n
\u201cBastard! Why did I give birth to a bitch like you–\u201d<\/p>\n
Do Do Do–<\/p>\n
Everything stopped in a series of busy noises. The woman\u2019s small face looked stubborn. She pursed her lips tightly and stared at the air in front of her without saying a word.<\/p>\n
Her eyes were uncomfortable. For a moment, her eyes became moist. She blinked and leaned back in her chair quietly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1511","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1511","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=1511"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
