I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 193

The car arrived at James’ house. Grace got out of the car after Gloria drove the car through the iron gate of James’ house, “Gloria, you can go back first. I have private conversation with Mrs. James.”

Gloria’s eyes moved, and her gaze fell on Grace’s cold and distant face. She chuckled, “I can’t explain to President Shaw if I leave you only at James’ house alone.”

Grace’s throat tightened, “You…”

“Let me accompany you.” Gloria closed the car door and walked calmly to Grace’s side. Then, she stretched out her hand to embrace Grace’s shoulder and lowered her voice with the volume that only two of them could hear. She talked into her ear, “Don’t worry, I’ve been Caden Shaw’s subordinate for so long. I can handle everything that I should deal with. Besides, I’m Caden’s subordinate. Do they dare to lay a finger on me?”

She talked while embracing Grace’s shoulder with a smile and walked forward.

Mrs. James had already come out, “Grace, you’ve come. Huh? Miss Su is also here.”

“Where is the thing?” Grace did not beat around the bush. She straight away asked Mrs. James after she arrived and entered the house with her.

“What is it?” Mrs. James was slightly stunned.

“The ID card.”

Grace said lightly. She came to James’ house just to get her ID card back. She also took this opportunity to run away from Caden.

Mrs. James suddenly realized, “Oh, ID card. I put it inside the drawer of my dressing table. I’ll bring it to you later. Let’s have a cup of hot tea first. It’s such a freezing cold day. Have some hot tea to keep you warm.”

Mrs. James was not supposed to be perturbed, but she was distracted because she was concerned about the thing that was going to happen today.

Grace’s eyes fell on Mrs. James’ face again after taking a look at the tea that the maid brought, “I’d prefer Mrs. James to go upstairs and get me the ID card.”

Mrs. James looked at Jafar James and it seemed like she could not make the decision alone. After the latter nodded his head, she nodded at Grace, “Okay. I’ll get it for you.”

Mrs. James went back as soon as possible. She lovingly scolded Grace after she took the ID card to downstairs, “Oh my dearest daughter, you are too hasty to get your ID card back. Why can’t you trust your own parents? Your dad has spent some time and effort to cover you up and satisfy your request so that President Shaw won’t notice it. It’s not easy to help you with getting a new identity.”

Mrs. James’ eyes were full of kindness at the moment. People who did not know about the fact would really think that this is a kind and good mother.

Gloria who stood next to them was feeling complicated.

Leaving aside the other things, Grace was just asking Mrs. James for her ID card, but Mrs. James had to look at Jafar secretly to ask his opinion.

This was not a family at all!

It is no different from the outsiders.

Grace immediately snatched her ID card from Mrs. James’ hand… She had not been dared to hope for Mrs. James’ pretentious love and care for a long time. She just felt harsh and ironic when she heard what Mrs. James said in her ears.

She glanced down at her ID card in her palm. A self-deprecating smile appeared in her eyes.

No wonder Jafar was able to cover her up. The name column on the ID card was written as Grace Shaw.

She had changed her surname.

She raised her eyes and swept over Jafar coldly after she chuckled and deliberately suppressed the pain in her heart, “Why the surname must be ‘Shaw’?”

Jafar hesitated. He could not tell her truthfully that a old man told him personally, “Since that woman has married into the Shaw family, she must be loyal to them for the rest of her life. Just put ‘Shaw’ as her surname on the ID card then.”

These were the original words from the old man.

Jafar still remembered the coldness under the eyes of the old man when he said that personally after Jafar asked for his opinion on Grace’s request to get a new ID card for her.

It was doomed from that moment that Grace would not live any longer.

There was no exception for the words from the old man.

The attitude of the old man was very obvious. The Shaw family could accept Grace as their daughter-in-law, and the title of Madam James since the past generations could also be given to Grace. However, only Grace that was dead could sit on the throne of Madam James.

Jafar hesitated for a moment. After all, she was his own daughter. This time was different from what happened a few years ago. Instead, it was equivalent to kill his own daughter by himself.

However, Jafar had made what he thought was the best decision for the James family.

To sacrifice a daughter who was no longer from the James family.

“Grace, do you want to meet those rascals who caused you to get into jail?” Jafar did not answer Grace’s question, but suddenly brought up the subject of those gangsters.

Did you want to meet?

Grace lowered her eyes and covered the irony under her eyes… What was the point of meeting them or otherwise?
