I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 253

The James Group would be doomed!

The news had recently spread like wildfire in S City.

“Caden Shaw, this guy...” When the wealthy gathered in private and got drunk, they began to talk about this matter.

“That’s too little of nostalgia. After all, Jafar James is his former father-in-law.”

Leon Lo smiled and smoked his cigarette silently at the banquet. The smoke was white and hazy.

He was impatient with this kind of banquet, but he had to attend it just as a matter of form no matter how much he disliked it.

As for those drunken bosses at the table, they would be just as noisy as the elderly women in the food markets.

“Mr. Lo, you have smoked so much. Don’t you want to join our lively talk?” On the side, a drunken bald man wanted to get close to Leon.

“Go on please. I’m listening to you.” Keeping his countenance, Leon moved half an inch to the side and avoided the hands of the bald man.

Without this bald man, the others would not think of Leon.

But now, the people around immediately became lively, “Mr. Lo, you are such a young and promising man, much better and powerful than us old fellows.”

“You are as young as Caden Shaw. What do you think of him?”

Hearing this, Leon narrowed his eyes. Smoke curled around his face and hid it, making it so blurry.

With a soft and careless sound, Leno lightly flicked cigarette held in his slender fingers, “Caden Shaw is a very capable person.”

The others were still looking at him and waiting for him, but Leon stopped.

Nothing else?

That was all?

The bald man was a little disappointed, “He is quite capable, but too ruthless.”

“Yes,” Leon took a sip of his cigarette and replied.

“Mr. Lo also feels the same. The James Group is at least a listed company, but Caden Shaw doesn’t even care about his old relationship at all. The James Group at least belongs to his wife’s family, right?”

Leon suddenly stood up and said, “I’ve drunk too much today, and I feel a little uncomfortable. You go on please.”

“Are you leaving now? It’s too early!”

Leno grew more impatient. These people with high status usually looked glamorous and pretended to be decent.

But when they were drunk, they were totally different.

Leon smiled lightly. He opened the door and wanted to leave.

The moment he walked out, he saw a familiar figure in the corridor. He stopped right away.

That person was three to five meters away from the room.

“Mrs. Shaw?” he asked tentatively, not quite sure.

That person in front of him ignored.

Those chief executives in the room stopped their talking. All of them were twisting their necks and looking in that direction.

“Mrs. Shaw? Which one?”

The bald man asked out the questions, which everyone wanted to know the answer.

Strange expressions appeared… No way. Was that Mrs. Shaw that they had just talked about?

Leon ignored those half-drunk chief executives. He looked at her back, her slow pace as well as her slightly limp foot. Seeing that she was about to enter the elevator, he was anxious.

He hurriedly shouted, “Grace James?”

That person suddenly stopped. Leon became more certain.

The people in the private room were not calm anymore, “Oh no…”

That woman slowly turned around.

Leon smiled and said sincerely, “It’s really you. When did you come back?”

Stopped by Leon, Grace hesitated slightly when she saw him, “Mr. Lo?”

Leon quickly walked out of the room. He walked over to Grace who was at the elevator, his eyes revealing joy, “You’ve disappeared for three years.”

Grace responded and lowered her eyes. She felt a little mockery … Yes, three years.

She couldn’t escape from this rotten pond after three years. She had gone through extremely hard time escaping here. But now, she personally sent herself back to this place.

Many chief executives had stood outside the private room. They were all frightened as if they had seen a ghost.
