A black Bentley stopped not far away. Hiding in the night and tree shadows, it was not so conspicuous.
In the back seat, Gloria respectfully said, "Thank you, Mr. Caden, for driving me back. Then, Mr. Caden, I’m leaving." As she said, she reached out to hold the door handle.
Gloria pressed the car door handle slightly, and was about to push the car door open. Suddenly, a hand stretched out to firmly hold the back of her hand. Gloria was startled, and immediately turned her head in surprise.
Beside her, a handsome face now was filled with coldness. An incomparably dark eyes was staring intently...out of the window?
Gloria subconsciously followed his gaze. She saw the people and scenery. Suddenly, Gloria's beautiful eyes widened suddenly... Grace? And... the son of the Cordon family?
Grace came out from work. When she looked up, she saw Franklin. Grace was used to it. Every night when she got off work and she walked out of Royal Club, she would see that smirking face.
Sometimes, she herself became at a loss... She didn't know how long this young man was going to pestering her.
"Hurry up." Franklin leaned against his Maserati door. Seeing Grace come out, he immediately walked up her.
He would still come to Royal Club to have fun from time to time. Occasionally he would take Grace to the night market for supper, or stroll along the Huangpu River to enjoy the night view of S City.
It was as if they were really in love.
Franklin walked to her. He happily took the sluggish woman into his arms, and hugged her into his passenger seat.
In the car, like a cold storm coming, the man stared at Franklin's hand coldly... This damn woman just didn't refuse at all, letting that guy hug her! He had an urge to pull that disgusting hand from the woman's shoulder. Caden Shaw was full of cold breath.
Gloria shivered. She carefully glanced at the big boss next to her. She was little helpless...Who would feel relaxed with sitting beside him?
At the same time, she couldn't help but start to worry about Grace.
Obviously, the gaze of the cold big boss looked at Grace at the moment was not friendly. Not only unfriendly, but also... terrible.
In the back seat of the car, the man was full of coldness. His dark eyes tightly fixed on the figure not far from the window.
No one could understand what he was thinking right now.
"Mr. Caden?" Gloria looked at the man suspiciously. The big hand removed her hand from the door handle, but his own hand firmly clasped the door handle.
Seeing this, Gloria had a bad feeling... Something would happen!
There was a thought in her mind. Gloria looked at Grace outside the car and said.
"Isn't that Grace? But I almost didn't recognize her. I have never seen her smile so easily since she has worked in Royal Club for so long.
I thought she would not laugh. But she looks well today. She finally knows how to laugh. It’s not too bad. "
Gloria said nervously and looked at Caden, "Mr. Caden, you don't know. I thought Grace is like an artificial intelligence robot."
After saying that, the man released the finger that had pulled the door handle of the car, but his hand still covered the door handle. It seemed that he didn't plan to push the door open to get out of the car now.
"If Grace's smile comes back, it will be a good thing. At least she's more like a living person, not a living dead who can only breathe."
Gloria said this lightly. But she said it to the big boss beside her.
Her back was already wet with cold sweat at the moment... She was also afraid that the omnipotent big boss next to her could see her intention. But it was good to be able to stop this big boss, otherwise, she didn't know what Grace would suffer.
The man narrowed his eyes and looked at the man and woman not far away complicatedly. Naturally, his gaze fell on the woman's face. He was in a daze... How long hadn't Grace smiled sincerely?
There was no hypocrisy in that smile. It was not a forcing smile. Damn...It was attractive! Damn it... It was dazzling!

How can a woman suffer so much? How can a man be too cruel initially robbing her of dignity and all, then deceiving her after he knows he loves her? How can they not remarry, making their offspring illegitimate? The line between love and hatred is truly fine indeed! Thank you for this story....
