I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 250

The phone rang.

When the phone rang in the office, it broke the strange atmosphere in the office.

The thin man casually glanced at the phone screen on his desk and said, “Do you mind?”

Looking up, he swept across the man sitting opposite, who was also outstanding.

Although it was an inquiry, it was clear that no matter whether the person sitting opposite him minded it or not, he didn’t care that much.

Without waiting for him to express his stance, he had already picked up the phone on the table and went through to the phone.

Ingemar pressed the dial button, and when the screen showed that he was connected, he silently handed the phone that was already in a state of conversation to Grace, who was reaching towards him.

Grace trembled slightly, and without saying a word, her eyes turned red.

On the other end of the phone. In the president’s office of the Shaw Group, the man hadn’t heard anything on the phone for a long time. Normally, he would be impatient and cut off the call directly.

This time, however, he held it near his ear even though it was still silent.

However, there was a strange feeling. This phone call could not be hung up.

Half a minute passed.

“Let the James Group go.”

On the phone, the woman stubbornly said four words.

When this voice sounded, the man behind the desk was overjoyed. It made this cold man suddenly be active.

But soon, the joy dissipated, leaving behind a deep thought.

He suddenly smiled and said calmly.

“Are you begging me, or are you asking me?”

The meaning had a huge difference.

On the other end of the phone, Grace stubbornly pursed her lips. In her life, she had “begged” him too much. It was only three years. The peace of Erhai Lake almost made her forget who Caden was and who she was.

She mockingly looked at the well-dressed lady, who was watching her anxiously at this moment.

She was even more nervous than her.

She looked down and tightly pursed her lips, feeling incomparably ironic.

She wanted to pull herself out of all these whirlpools, but every time she thought that she would finally be able to escape, she would fiercely fall in again.

They all robbed of her most precious possessions, ignoring her pain and hurting her badly.

“Please …” Her throat was unusually sore. She frowned and looked down, “What if I begged you or asked you?”

On the other side of the phone, the man smiled complacently.

“If you beg me,” he smiled and said briskly, “I have the right to refuse.”

“So, do you refuse?” she asked.

“Grace, please plead with President Shaw. We can’t let the James fall apart.” Mrs. James looked so anxious.

Ingemar stared at her angrily, and Mrs. James took half a step back in fear.

Caden was not surprised to hear Mrs. James’s voice. Ever since Grace asked him to let the Jameses go, he had already predicted that someone from the James family would go beg Grace.

Mrs. James was in Yunnan.

There were so many blighters between them. Thinking of this, Caden glanced at the person sitting opposite him, and he snorted arrogantly and coldly.
