I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 295

In the end, the fatty’s bat did not land on Grace.

However, it landed firmly on a broad back.

The fatty was so scared that his hands trembled. The leader of the thugs looked at the person who appeared out of thin air. Just now, he was thrown to the corner by a force. Not knowing how too much, he just looked at the person who just popped out in astonishment. “You ... who are you?”

Where did this guy come from?

He was still thinking about it when he suddenly realized that he hadn’t done his job. He coldly snorted and shouted, “Fatty, hit!”

“But …”

“No buts! Once we’re done, we’ll leave the city immediately. We’ll never come back.”

“But this person, what if …”

“Don’t think too much but the money! It’s enough for us to live happily for a lifetime. After this, we will be idle and enjoy our lives.”

That fatty was frightened by the man who just showed up and hesitated. The leading hooligan noticed it and shouted, “You are not committing murder or arson. What are you afraid of? Even if we were caught, we would be only convicted of assault. After a few years in prison, we will be clean. Where can’t we go with that large sum of money?”

“It …”

The fatty was panic because of the accident and mindless due to the words of the leading hooligan. Behind the fatty, a sturdy man rudely pushed him away.

“Shut up!

Damn fatty! If you don’t do it, I’ll!”

The sturdy man swung the baseball bat and hit the person in front him.

“Look! Just like it. Damn fatty, we agreed that the one who hit people will get an extra share of the money. Seeing that you are a loser and a virgin, we are afraid that you won’t find a woman and left this good job to you. With an extra portion of the money, you can find a wife. Since you are unwilling to do it, then get lost. I will take the extra portion of the money.”

The sturdy man raised the bat and hit again.

“Ouch!”

A muffled groan came to Grace’s ear. She raised her head in a trance. In the dark night, someone hugged her. Someone tightly trapped her to keep her safe. The person’s muffled groan could be heard. Vaguely, she seemed to have returned to the prison back then. A girl had taken all the pain for her.

It sounded like … Leona.

“Leona …” In an instant, her eyes got moist and sore, “Leona …”

At this time, she realized that she had missed Leona for so long.

She didn’t dare to admit it for a long time, so long that she could only mourn with Leona’s memorial tablet.

She was guilty.

“Grace … don’t be afraid.”

A man’s deep voice came into her ears.

Grace trembled coldly and came to her senses. With the moonlight, she looked at the face of the person lying on her. That face was so familiar to her though it turned into ashes.

“Miss James, do you know him? Who is he?”

Grace said coldly, “We don’t know each other. Aren’t you paid to do your job? Don’t you just want my hand? Let go of the innocent. You don’t have to do anything. I’ll cripple my hand in case I owe anyone a favor.”

The guy in the lead laughed and said, “Do you think I’m stupid? You don’t know each other? Liar!”

If they didn’t know each other, how could he call her name?

“Say it!” After that, the man in lead turned to the sturdy man and said, “Well, leave this man alone. Anyway, we’ll be out of S City tonight and never come back. Big man, go break one of her arm!”
