I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 36

Ruby took out of the breath with eyes widely open and felt much blush.

 

She became angrier and said, “You said I am not in true love. So, you seduced him; is it true love?”

 

Grace got frown. Who said Ruby was not in true love? She merely asked how much did Ruby love the man?

 

Grace lowered her head. She could hide her radiance in the past three years, but not rid her wisdom.

 

It was obvious that Ruby turned to be badly emotional only because these words rightly hurt her.

 

Grace shook her head.

 

Ruby went on to say, “What do you mean? You are so cheap to play a victim and seduce men to earn money. Why did you 

shake your head? Deny me? I tell you,

 

Grace, everyone in the world can look down upon you, but you have no right to do that to anyone else”

 

Grace was shocked by what Ruby said just now. It caused her too frustrated. It was correct that everyone in the world can look down upon you, but you have no right to do that to anyone else.

 

Caden Shaw, are you happy to see it?

 

Oh... Grace changed to be the one you would like to see.

 

She closed her eyes with only one word in her mind, “Money!”

 

She was nothing without money; if she had money, she would have...

 

Ruby was derisive to have a look at Grace and felt her appearance so disgusting and said, “Anyway, remember you are a 

cripple; don’t expect to be loved by Franklin” Then she turned around to go to her bedroom and left Grace there.

 

Grace pinched the middle of her eyebrow and could not wait to have a hot shower to go to the bed.

 

It was too hot without air conditioner, but Grace felt too chilly.

 

She curled up herself more under the quilt, by which she should get warmer.

 

Some thrush was singing outside the window which helped her go to sleep well.

 

“Hey, hey! Get up!”

 

Grace was woken up by someone rashly pushing her. She opened her eyes to see Ruby.

 

She was in high fever so that she did not think too much about what happened, just mumbling, “Stop! I am dizzy’

 

Ruby pushed Grace's hands again and stopped for a while. Then she sneered at Grace and said,

 

“I am not willing to enter into your room. I am just telling you it will be soon to go to work. Get up now! Don't sleep more! Last 

time you did not go to work and I was blamed by Gloria. Today I would not like to have it anymore. Get up and go get dressed”

 

Work?

 

Work!

 

Grace's mind almost went blank as Ruby talked so much with her when she got high fever.

 

However, the word “work” exploded as a bomb in her dizziness so she had to wake up...work!

 

Finally, Grace left her quilt and got up. She felt hurt for all her body as well as got up hurriedly, as a result, she nearly fell down 

on the ground.

 

Ruby frowned and said impatiently, “Hurry up! Don’t stay there. Here are no men. Stop playing a victim again.”

 

Grace was continuously humiliated by Ruby without saying anything; she changed the coat and put on shoes.

 

But Ruby would not like to stop it, "Getting wet in the rain made you so weak? I got rain also but never made it. Are you such a vulnerable girl?”
