I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 154

"Do I need your consent to do anything? Huh?"

Kirk shivered with cold sweat on his forehead. "I...Boss, I just think that it has been three years since the incident. Besides, the call records and text messages in Ms. Venus's phone have already explained everything. I just feel that there is no need to waste time for a certain fact."

Caden's eyes were cold and deep. His eyes suddenly turned gloomy and he stared at Kirk's face. "It seems that you don't want me to investigate things back then."

"Hmm", Kirk's face was pale, without thinking about it, his knees fell heavily on the ground: "Boss Mingjian, the subordinates don't mean that. The subordinates just think, Boss...Boss, you have changed now. It must be different from before.

"Although Ms. James is close to you, Boss has become soft-hearted because of her. The old mister has repeatedly warned me. As the helm of the Shaw family, Boss, you should not be as soft-hearted as ordinary people, which will make you become weak and flawed. The Shaw family has too many enemies, Boss, you shoulder a great responsibility...You can't become weak because of a woman..."

"Enough!" Caden coldly yelled, stood up suddenly, and looked down at Kirk kneeling on the ground with cold eyes. His eyes were so cold as if he could freeze things.

"Do you still remember how the follower of each patriarch of the Shaw family was selected?" He stared at Kirk with cold eyes. "I select people at the age of seven. Out of ten people, I chose you as the first one. That's why your name is Kirk Shaw. Since the moment your were called Kirk Shaw, I am the only one you have to be loyal and obedient to."

"You follow my decision. Carry out my order. This is the only thing that you need to do from the moment you stay by my side, from the moment you are named Kirk Shaw. You need to be obedient to me.

Kirk's forehead was sweaty. His boss rarely said these things to people like him, so that he almost made the biggest mistake. At this moment, he was panicked. Kirk's resolute face now was as pale as a ghost. "Bang"! His head hit the ground with a loud noise. Gloria who was on the side also tightened her shoulders nervously, not daring to let out a breath.

She wanted to help Kirk, but she didn't dare to make any move now.

Furthermore, Kirk broke a great taboo.

One servant could never serve two masters!

Even if the other person was the grandfather of their boss, he couldn't break the rules!

Caden's cold gaze was fixed on Kirk. After all, he was a little moved and waved his hand. "Forget it. You can atone for your mistake. Go and check what happened three years ago to see if there is anything hidden."

Kirk thanked Caden again and again, then walked out of Gloria’s office. The moment the door was closed, there was a complicated expression on his resolute face... The boss was a little soft for letting him go. But... Kirk wasn't happy at all!

Boss was became soft now. The whole Shaw family relied on him, but he became soft like ordinary people... In the past, how could boss forgive him so easily?

In Kirk's view, becoming soft meant that there were cracks in the glass. And there was a flaw in the perfect helm of the Shaw family.

In the office, Gloria was still there. "There is one thing... Mr. Shaw, I never understand."

"I'm listening."

"As for the incident three years ago, why didn't you investigate before? But you want to check it now."

Caden clasped his fingers together and leaned on the desk. Hearing this, his thumb moved slightly...Why did he want to investigate the thing that happened three years ago?

It was because of Franklin. In front of Franklin, Grace, the murderer in Caden’s eyes who was calculated and tricked his frend for her own selfish desires, walked to Franklin after being humiliated and cursed by Franklin in various ways. Before leaving, she still went to ease his mind.

Caden couldn't help asking himself, "Would such a person really kill for her own benefit?"

Gloria's eyes were slightly cold, "She has been out of prison for almost a year. Why didn't you investigate it for such a long time?"
