I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 297

Fatty wanted to make a move, but he recalled that gaze. He had never seen such a gaze before.

A normal person won’t have such a gaze!

Fatty hesitated.

“Fatty, why are you hesitating!”

Grace was anxious as she noticed that Fatty was hesitating.

Now, the only one who could make a move was Fatty. The gangster and the big guy in the lead were heavily injured.

“Let us go. I promise I won’t pursue tonight’s matter. Otherwise, your guys are badly injured. Can you leave S City tonight?”

She made a tempting offer, “As for the money, I’ll give you one million. You can share it. Otherwise …” She glanced at the man aside, who was also seriously injured. If she continued to entangle herself with these people, something might really happen.

In a hurry, she regained her logic. Her gaze instantly turned fierce.

“You have two choices.

First, let us go. I will not pursue tonight’s matter. Tomorrow, one million will be transferred to your account. It’s better for both of us.

Second, make it severer. Once you leave this place, I will call the police and look for you all over the country with one million.

Of course, I’m not afraid that you’ll kill us now. Think of it.

I am a public figure. If I died in this alley for no apparent reason, you would get into a big trouble.

Both the media and the business world would look for a reason.

At that time, where could you hide?

Think about it clearly. Do you want to take one million and leave now, or do you want someone else to take it and you have to hide for the rest of your life?”

Grace said righteously and magnificently, but her heart was beating fast.

Only she knew that her palms were covered in sweat.

When she said this, she was also gambling.

Fatty looked frightened and wanted to retreat. “Bro, I think we should let them go …”

“Shut up!”

The gangster in the lead looked at Grace’s face with unfathomable eyes. “You cut off my retreat. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll be anxious and kill you?”

“There is clearly a way for us to achieve both targets. Both of us would be satisfied. However, if you insist on losing both worlds, I can’t do anything,” Grace said slowly. At this moment, she was extremely calm.

“I know you are smart.

You just do it for money.

I don’t require you to say anything about the man behind you. Also, I’ve given way. Just think of it in another way. You guys are clearly the ones who hurt us, but I’ll give you one million … Then …

Reputation and money. You have both.

Even a fool knows how to choose.”

The unfathomable eyes of the gangster flickered. He suddenly laughed.

“Miss Grace is so kind! Now that you said so, even a fool knows how to choose.

We are not stupid.”

Grace heaved a sigh of relief. She wanted to catch her breath, but she didn’t dare to take it easy. When the gangster laughed, she also beamed carelessly.

“So, have we reached a consensus?”

The more careless she looked, the less the gangster dared to act rashly. “Miss Grace, do you keep your word? How do we know that you won’t take revenge afterwards?”

“I’m not that stupid. You’re just for money.

There is an old saying that nobody could keep his caution on thieves for one thousand days. If I call the police to take revenge on you but one of you escape, I won’t have a peaceful life for the rest of my life.

The life is short. Am I that silly that I’ll keep a hidden time bomb and leave you the opportunities to take revenge on me?”

Hearing this, the gangster put away his guard and took a deep look at Grace.

“Miss Grace, you’re indeed formidable.

With such a few words, you could hit the nail on the head.

Miss Grace, we’re sorry for what happened today.

You’re good. We could only praise you.”

With that, he asked Fatty to support him, “Fatty, come on. Help me.” Then, they limped away, with their arms on their shoulders.

After a long time.

When Grace no longer heard their footsteps, as she was blown by the wind, she fiercely trembled … She leaned against the wall and collapsed onto the ground.
