I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 101

The door of the dormitory was opened. In the living room, there was a woman collapsing on the ground, looking at the floor tiles in a daze.

She just kept her eyes open and stared at the floor tiles blankly. A line of tears slid down from her face.

She used to think that both of Mona Lisa’s eyes were smiling, but some people said that one of Mona Lisa’s eyes was crying while the other one was smiling. What a ridiculous and impossible thing!

Grace had always felt that it just happened to be a problem that the painter used different color, but was then exaggeratedly promoted by later generations.

How could it be possible in this world that one eye was crying and the other was smiling?

It was ridiculous!

But at this moment, Grace thought that a person could be in two completely contrary moods at the same time.

That was how she felt know.

The pleasure of revenge made her want to laugh openly, and the feeling of being treated as trash by her family made her want to cry... Finally, she looked a little crazy whit a line of tears and smile on her face.

She didn't know whether she was laughing with crying, or crying with laughing.

The next day.

In the Shaw’s mansion, there was man sitting on the sofa in the living room gracefully.

Opposite the sofa, a middle-aged couple was pleased him cautiously.

Behind the man stood an old butler with a serious look and gray hair. He looked very solemn.

Caden's glance flicked round the present on the coffee table in front of him, and came to the middle-aged couple opposite.

He curled his lips slightly, "I understand what you meant, Mr. James" There was a hint of disdain in his eyes. After saying this, he stood up neatly and called out, "Sam, walk out with Mr. James and Mrs. James."

"Yes, sir."

Sam, the butler of the Shaw family, stepped forward, bowed slightly, and made a "please" gesture, "Mr. Caden has already known what you meant, Mr. James, Mrs. James. He has been very busy recently. I will walk with you out of the house."

"Then this gift..." Jafar, Grace father, became a little nervous, looking at Caden expectantly.

Caden tilted his head slightly, and smiled, "As it’s your compliment, just leave it here."

Hearing this, Jafar breathed a sigh of relief... He accepted his gift, which meant he promised not to implicate the James Group and the rest of the James family because of that bastard.

"President Shaw, please take your time, we are leaving now."

Jafar felt a lot more relaxed, and walked outside the house with the stern Sam.

They stopped next to their car. Sam was two meters away from Mr. James and his wife.

Before getting in the car, Jafar hesitated, turned around, and looked at Sam, "Mr. Venus, it's that we didn't educate our daughter and harmed Wallis, such a good girl. I'm sorry, Mr. Venus."

If Grace was here, she would feel sad... Her biological father confessed on behalf her before she pleaded the guilty.

Sam’s expressionless face reminded as serious as usual. He said indifferently, "Wallis has passed away for three years. If it was her fate, I would resign to it."

"It is Miss James’ sin, she should make atonement by herself. It has nothing to do with you, Mr. James. Although I'm just a butler of the Shaw family, I can still judge right from wrong."

"Mr. James, I heard... you made a report this morning to sever the relationship with Miss James."

"Mr. Venus, you are so righteous. I'm ashamed. As for Grace, such an evil-minded person, can’t stay in the James family. And the James family can no longer withstand the storm. If the newspaper can make President Shaw and you feel more comfortable, it worth for me doing such an unkind thing."

Sam finally showed a smile on his harsh old face, "It’s getting late, goodbye, Mr. James and Mrs. James."
