I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 292

“So, you’re going to learn from Cinderella in the TV show … for love?” Master Shaw looked at Grace with a fake smile.

Obviously, he was mocking Grace’s “love”.

Grace gave a self-deprecating chuckle … She had thought that her only true love would end happily, but it turned out to be a joke in the eyes of others.

It was just … I’m sorry, Master Shaw. Her eyes turned sharp. Master Shaw’s intention was not as simple as it seemed.

If he wanted to get rid of her, he had thousands of methods. There was no need to choose this stupid one.

Even if he did, why now?

He could have done it, but why at this moment?

Grace’s eyes swept past Kirk, who was behind Master Shaw silently. Her mind ran rapidly. Ever since Caden appeared in the Erhai Lake, there was no sight of Kirk.

When she returned to S City from the Erhai Lake, she had never seen Kirk.

This meant that Kirk had been marginalized.

However, Kirk was someone close to Caden. He grew up with Caden like the other nine people. The brotherhood between the ten of them was deep.

Even if Caden ignored him, the other nine people might still be in contact with him privately.

She did not believe that Ladd, Saul and the others would betray Caden.

However, since they grew up together, Kirk might discern something from the words and deeds of the nine of them.

Moreover, Caden had disappeared for a while.

As for Ladd, Saul and the others, they were also gone from the radar. Ingemar took charge of the company, but he was not a Shaw. Caden should show up now.

No wonder … No wonder Gloria was suspicious.

How could Master Shaw, who was as cunny as a fox, didn’t sense the strangeness when even Gloria noticed something wrong?

She looked at the suitcase on the table. Master Shaw’s purpose was to test her.

Three years ago, she had almost gambled everything on a chance to escape from Caden.

Master Shaw was very thoughtful. Three years ago, she had risked everything to run away. Now, Master Shaw had purposely offered her generous conditions to leave. This should have been something she dreamed of.

If something did happen to Caden, then she could leave easily.

On the other hand, once she accepted Master Shaw’s offer and left overnight unthinkingly, it meant that something really happened to Caden.

She would be able to leave unscrupulously when she wasn’t under Caden’s control.

Otherwise, as long as Caden was still fine, he would not let her leave.

When Grace was stopped by Kirk, she was thinking about what would happen tonight.

She was still guessing when she met Master Shaw in the Shaw’s old mansion. With the box in front of her, she believed that Master Shaw was going to chase her away.

But the more she looked at the things in the box, the more shocked she became. Master Shaw was too generous.

“Master Shaw, you know my point better than anyone else,” Grace said lightly, “You should convince your grandson instead of me.”
