He darted at Kirk who was still kneeling down in front, “Why changed the documents? Are you the accomplice of Sam? Tell me, where is she?”
Where was she, that was what he wanted to know the most!
“I… I don’t know where she is. I… was just in a moment of weakness.”
“Enough!” The man shouted, massaging between his eyebrows, “I only care about one thing, where is she.” As for Kirk, Caden showed his indifference, “And you, it’s done. You have been following me for a long time, just leave.”
“Boss!” Kirk looked at Caden in disbelief, “You can punish me however you want, but don’t kick me away!”
“Ladd, take him away.” Caden rubbed his temple tiredly. He hadn’t slept for these days, and he had no energy for anyone unrelated.
“Bo…”
“Kirk, not now!” Ladd stepped forth, “Don’t make any more troubles for the boss. Boss almost went crazy after Madam left. If you really want to stay with the boss, then find Madam for the boss. Leave hurriedly when the boss is still lenient.”
Kirk gritted his teeth and left unwillingly.
Caden’s head was about to explode. Ladd walked to him: “Boss, take some rest.” If the boss kept on being like this, he would soon fall down!
“Let’s go!”
“To where?”
“Find Kern!”
He didn’t believe that it was a coincidence that Kern showed up at the warehouse!
Thinking of the actions of Kern at that time, Caden did not trust that Kern went there to pick a fight with him, then said nothing and left.
When he got rid of Kern, Grace must have already left this city!
The only explanation was that Kern showed up in order to buy time for that woman!
The black Bentley roared out and dashed on this prosperous city road until it arrived at the door of an independent villa. Caden got off the car, Ladd and the others followed behind. They all showed up at the door of the villa.
He reached out to press on the doorbell.
“Who are you looking for?”
“Your master.”
“Wait a moment please.”
Before the butler finished his words, he was whizzed by a hurricane in front of him, “Sir, you can’t break in like that, you’re intruding private property…”
“Ask your master to sue me then.”
“…”
What kind of person was this, the butler said in his heart.
On the spiral staircase, a figure appeared, “Look at who it is. Mr. Shaw, you must be here for me, am I right?”
Caden held his steps all of a sudden, raised his head to look at the second floor, “Kern, you showed up at the warehouse deliberately, right?”
“Yes, that was intentional.” Kern’s answer was provoking as well.
Caden sneered, “Good that you admit, where is she? Give her to me.”
“Who? Grace? That’s your wife. How would I know where she is even when you don’t know about it?”
“Kern, let’s put this straight. You and the old master were playing me like a fool? The incident four years ago, it must be related to you and the old master, am I right?
“Even if I don’t want to admit that, but one thing cannot be changed. You share the same blood as I do!”
“The old master still wanted you to be back to the Shaw family. But if you, Kern, you want me to call you brother, that would only happen in the dream!
“You ended up hating me. What exactly did you want to prove in the incident four years ago? To prove that you are better than me?
“Wallis Venus was my misjudgment. She is a malicious woman with a sweat mouth. She bribed a few gangsters and wanted to take away Grace’s virginity, so that Grace would feel too shameful to see anyone. However, she didn’t expect that someone else would be waiting to hunt her down as well.
“Right after she bribed the gangsters, you paid them with a much higher price, asking those gangsters to betray Wallis and take her virginity away accordingly. After that, you blamed everything on Grace. This was done by you and the old master, am I right?
“Just like Wallis, you didn’t expect that the old master hinted Sam, the butler of the Shaw family, telling the latter that the Shaw family would not allow a woman who had lost her virginity to enter their place. And Sam did murder Wallis and blamed everything on Grace. I am afraid that the fake evidences and all the coincidences were done by the old master intentionally, am I right?”
“Well? Then tell me, why would the old master frame Grace? How would that benefit him?” Kern looked calm, but his heart was indeed stirring up waves.
Had Caden figured everything out?
“Heh, benefit? Do you think the old master would do something that was not beneficial to him? You think he was a philanthropist?” He sneered, “I didn’t understand this either in the first place. Grace James, how would she hinder the benefit of the Shaw family?
“But do you know what I heard the old master saying in the hospital yesterday?”

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....
