It had been five days!
The man in the study emanated a grim aura.
Kern was related to that incident as Caden had expected. But it seemed that Kern also had some problems on his side. Ladd had been following Kern secretly and saw that Kern went to find the driver that brought Grace to Hangzhou, but then Kern did nothing else.
Kern had thought the same thing as Caden did.
The man curled up a self-mocking smile… The thing done by all of them, either intentional or unintentional, eventually that woman became the innocent scapegoat under their conflicts and was sent to the prison.
And now, who would have thought that the woman fooled everyone so sneakily.
“Well done, Grace.” He laughed bitterly.
Knock, knock.
“Come in.”
“Boss, I am here.” It was Gloria.
There was a sound of rustling from the bed, a dark shadow shrouded her eyes, Gloria’s eyelids twitched slightly and she dared not to make a move. She had already understood that this was going to be an unkind meeting. She did hesitate whether or not she should confess.
But at the end, perhaps she saw her past self in Grace. The story of Grace was her own story from the past.
She eagerly wanted to help that silly woman escape, indeed, she was also helping herself from the past when she was as silly as Grace.
After hearing the story between that silly woman and the man in front of her, who would be able to forgive this man who used to hurt someone utterly.
Even Gloria couldn’t act against her conscience and forgave this man in front of her just because he was her boss. She couldn’t forgive anyone for Grace, if she wasn’t Grace; if she was Grace, she would not let go of what happened!
In this way!
“Repeat what happened that day from the beginning to the end.”

The readers' comments on the novel: I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden)
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....
