I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 155

"What are you doing here?" In a room of the Shaw family's mansion, Kirk was rummaging through boxes and cabinets. Sam stood at the door with a tray in his hand and looked at Kirk coldly for a while. Then he stopped him loudly.

Hearing the sudden sound, Kirk was slightly startled, then turned his head to have a look. "Ah. It's you."

Sam's gray eyebrows trembled slightly. Then he looked down inch by inch and stared at the notebook in Kirk's hand. "What are you holding?"

"Oh, this? This is Ms. Venus's class contact book."

"What are you going to do with it?"

"Of course..." Kirk was about to explain but someone suddenly called him, "Kirk, hurry up, we are waiting for you." When he looked up, Ladd was walking towards him and Sam.

Kirk wasn't stupid. He didn't have anyhting to do with them. Ladd just deliberately interrupted him and Sam... After giving it some thought, he understood, "Oh." He answered, "Sam, I have something to do. Let's talk later."

Sam had always been serious and stern. He looked confused. His dark eyes rolled. "Wallis's class contact book... What does he want to do with that?"

With doubts in his mind, Sam turned and strode away. Instead of chasing Kirk to question him, he walked quickly to his own bedroom in the mansion.

When he got into his bedroom, he locked the door behind him. His brows knitted. After thinking for a moment, he immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed a number that he hadn't dialed for a long time.

There was a ridicule on the other end of the phone: "Oh, I was thinking who was calling me. Sam, what do you want to do?" Clearly, the voice of the man on the other end had a slight contempt for Sam.

Sam furrowed his eyebrows and didn't care about the ridicule and contempt of the person on the phone. He hurriedly said, "Kirk just entered the utility room and took away Wallis's class contact book. Something is wrong. You have to help and see what he is going to do."

"Ha-ha. Sam, you know that Kirk is his man. Kirk is a bodyguard, and he will not come to find the book for no reason. The only possibility for Kirk to do is that his master has ordered him to do a new task."

Now, there was uncontrollable anger on Sam's face. He shouted depressively at the man on the phone, "Wallis is dead!"

Wallis was dead. She was buried deep under the ground.

Why did they have to find the contact book of that year!

"Okay, Sam, I will help you to find out what your master wants to do." As he said, the man on the other end suddenly chuckled, "But if you do this, will you be regarded as betraying your master?"

How could a servant secretly investigate his master?

Sam darkened his face and shouted rudely, "Mind your own business. I'm telling you, Kern Lo, we're the same people. Neither of us is better. We both have dirt on us. You have an ulterior motive. But I only did it for my poor daughter who died young."

Kern smiled silently on the other end of the phone. He didn’t know what he was laughing, but deep in his eyes, there was clearly a contempt for Sam... He put it nicely, claiming that he did it for his daughter who died young. Which of those things that he did behind the scenes was not ten times more terrifying than the things that his precious daughter suffered?

However, this was none of his business.

There were too many pitiful people in the world. Did he need to be so sympathetic to help them one by one?

It was all because of Grace's bad luck. How come she met such a venomous woman like Wallis Venus?

"Sam, you don't have to irritate me with that. I will do it if it's good for me. I won't say it if it's bad for me."

Sam squinted his eyes and got the verbal assurance from Kern. He felt relieved, but he wanted to be more emotional. "Please bear me for my grief because my child died before me. Kern, you should be able to understand my feelings of losing my beloved daughter. You understand the feeling of losing the important people and things in life.

"Kern, you shouldn't have had the surname—Lo. You should have been outstanding and dazzling..."

"Shut up!" On the other end of the phone, Kern gritted his teeth. "Sam, who do you think you are? Do you think you, a dog raised by the Shaw family, can judge me?"

"It was none of your business what my surname should be."

"Whatever my last name was, I will be outstanding! It has nothing to do with my last name! "

"Boom!"

The phone in Kern's hand was placed heavily on the desk. His eyes blazed with fury.

That face, no matter how he looked at it, was a bit familiar. On his desk, there was an upside-down photo frame. Kern lifted the frame. The photo in the frame was shocking!

"Caden Shaw!" He gritted his teeth. The resentment in his eyes was clear. With a loud bang, he thumped the golden-framed nanmu desk. His eyes were cold. He said viciously, "Let's wait and see!"

He suddenly stood up. He was extremely tall, which was about Caden's height. He picked up the car key on the table and strode out of the room.

...

On the other side, Kirk and Ladd walked side by side. "Why did you appear in the room just now?"

Kirk asked Ladd, but in fact he wasn't really asking. Why did Ladd suddenly appear there? What Kirk really wanted to ask was why Ladd tried to stop him from telling Sam the truth.

"Kirk," Ladd paused and faced Kirk directly, "Don't you know it? Since the thing Boss asked you to investigate was something that happened three years ago, it must involve Wallis Venus. Sam is the father of Wallis. He must have something to do with it."
