I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 247

Caden slept for a whole day and night.

Humbert called the Shaw Manor for the third time. The butler who answered the call told him over and over again, in a gentle voice like a machine, that he hadn’t gotten up yet.

This was rare.

Humbert felt incredulous.

However, what could not have happened to Caden, had happened right in front of his eyes.

Humbert was a little anxious.

Ignoring his own things, he went to the underground garage. A Mustang sedan that he had purchased recently was right there. Rumbling, the car roared away.

The price of this car was not high. For someone like Humbert, a car worth three to five hundred thousand yuan was not a high-end car. However, those who knew the car would get it. It was so great to drive it, especially when a driver had the joy of listening the rumbling sound along the road.

But at this moment, Humbert’s new favorite didn’t get the slightest bit of attention from Humbert.

He only treated it as a Passat and drove it to the Shaw Manor with all his might.

He was familiar with the Shaw Manor. He rolled up his sleeves and raised his fist. Though the butler stopped him, he still ran to the end of the second floor and pound at the door.

The butler anxiously said, “The master is too tired and told everyone not to disturb him …”

Before he could finish his sentence, Humbert scolded him,

“At least you’ve worked here for a few years. When have you ever seen him sleep for a day and night?”

When he found that he couldn’t open the door, he twisted the handle and said, “Hey! Open the door!” Turning his head, he roared at the butler behind him,

“Do you have a spare key? Bring it over!”

At this moment, the door was opened suddenly. “I’m not dead yet.”

Goose bumps came all over his body at the cold sound.

Humbert’s eyes were filled with joy. “Good!” He raised his hand and slapped the man, who was standing at the door with a cold face, on the shoulder.

“You’re not dead. You scared the hell out of me.”

Apparently, the man who was woken up by the noise had a twisted expression on his face. “What’s wrong? Tell me.”

Humbert yelled and looked at Caden in surprise, “I was afraid that you would never wake up, so I come to see if you’re dead and collect your corpse.”

Caden looked at him with a gloomy expression. “Don’t worry. I won’t die.” He seemed to have thought of something and explained, “I’m just too tired.”

Yes, he was just too tired.

“I will be fine after a rest.”

Yes, he would be fine after a rest.

“Humbert, we are old and should pay attention to our health. You’d better not hang out the bar so often. It does nothing good to your health.”

Hearing this, Humbert almost thought that he was having a hallucination. He looked at the man who was speaking faintly as if he had seen a ghost.

“Screw you! You’re old. I am in my prime. So many girls are waiting for me. Without me, it’s their loss.”

They engaged in chitchat.

The topic then was turned to matters the Shaw Group.

When it came to business, Humbert became serious.

“When you rested, I only have time to help you appease the panic in the company.

“But this is not the real problem, after all,” he said, looking up at Caden solemnly.

“What are you going to do?”

Seeing that Caden didn’t say anything, Humbert hesitated for a moment and said, “How about raising money …?”

“It hasn’t reached this point yet,” Caden tapped the table with his finger and said his plan,

“Massive capital injection.”

Capital raising?

He would not allow others to take advantage of him at this time.

“You want to invest on your own?” Humbert asked a cruel question, “Where did you get the money?”

“Do you know the AG Company in the United States?”

Humbert nodded and said, “It seems to show its prominence in recent years. Although it is a newcomer on Wall Street, it is one of the most profitable companies.”
