I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 119

“Okay then, ask Mr. Cordon to come here. And he can see that his so-called best friend doesn’t give a shit about his feelings.”

Grace wanted to laugh. Why did this man force his opinions upon her? Why did he think she didn’t want Franklin to know everything?

Oh...Maybe it’ was because she was a disgraceful woman in his eyes!

“You...” Cayne’s eyes changed. He looked at her with more distain, “You are a disgusting woman. When you said I didn’t care about Franklin’s feelings, you meant that you didn’t care about his feelings either. Franklin was so in love with you. I guess his has put his heart in the wrong place.”

Grace said to herself in her heart: Yes, he did.

“I agree with you, Mr. Filocci.”

Cayne didn’t expect that Grace would admit it with no excuse!

He was so angry now! He felt angry for Franklin too!

“Don’t gloat yet！I will let he know what kind of a woman you are! A woman such as you is like a weed. I will never have such a weed like you stay beside my friend and hurt him! ”

Then he let go of his hand.

...

Grace and Cayne almost got back to the private room at the same time.

Franklin’s eye look changed. After Cayne took his seat, he raised his head and met with the darkened eyes of Franklin.

“You don’t smell of cigarette.” Franklin moved his thin lips and stared coldly at Cayne who was sitting across from him.

Cayne said he went out for a cigarette, but he didn’t smell of cigarette at all. Besides, he and Grace came back to the room at the same time. Thinking about the seemingly offensive words Cayne said to Grace earlier, Franklin remembered that Cayne left the room right after Grace did.

All of a sudden, his face got colder.

Leon was about to drink his coffee, but now his hand paused.

“I went to greet Miss James. After all, we met in Royal Club and are old friends, aren’t we?”

Franklin squinted, “I know she works in Royal Club. You don’t need to make a fuss about it.”

Cayne wanted to laugh. Then he reached his slender fingers to take out his cigarette box and lighted up a cigarette before Grace. He smoked it slightly.

Franklin raised his chin and said to Cayne, “You don’t need to go out for it now?”

What were you doing before?

He knew it was weird. When did a man like Cayne start to care about what others think?

Leon sensed something was wrong and stood up immediately, “It just occurred to me that I still had something to deal with. But I drank some wine before. Cayne, why don’t you drive me home?”

Then he dragged Cayne and left, “Miss James, see you next time.”

After they left, Franklin turned to Grace and checked her from head to toe, “What did he do to you?”

“Nothing.”

“Then what did he say to you?”

“Just a greeting.”

Franklin frowned and looked at her. Obviously, he didn’t buy what she said.

Grace didn’t explain further. It was up to him to believe her or not.

“I have been busy recently. When things get better, Grace, after I handle everything, I will take you out of Royal Club.”

Out of Royal Club? ...For a moment, what he had said tugged on her heartstrings.

But if it was so easy to leave Royal Club, she would have done it a long time ago.

If Caden refused to let her go, even if she left Royal Club, he would find her. Besides, the only thing that could prove who she was, her ID card, was in his hand. If she left now, she couldn’t go anywhere without her ID card.

...

After Cayne left, he didn’t go home. He met with a noble lady in a cafe. They talked, and by the time they parted, the lady kept nodding and said, “Don’t worry. I will help you and make your friend see that woman as who she truly is. He will know what she is truly up to. But don’t forget about what you promised me...one-night stand...”

Cayne smiled and whispered to the lady’s ears, “Of course. How can I resist a beauty like Miss Warner?”

The deep voice and charming face that would fascinate any woman made Miss Warner feel powerless. She continued, “Then it’s settled. I will take actions tomorrow night. You should be there to witness it tomorrow in case you say I don’t do a good job later.”

“How can that be? Miss Warner is so beautiful and capable. Of course, I trust your ability. Besides...even if you mess up, I can’t mess up on such a beauty like you.”

What he said amused Miss Warmer.

“Then I shall wish you a success now.” With that, Cayne turned around and walked away. In the brown pupils of his eyes, a tinge of disgust flashed over.

...

The night.
