I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 87

Grace stood still while staring at the check.

“What? You don’t want to?” Walter sneered.

“Come on, Mr. He, after all, she was once the most proud noble lady in S City.” Walter’s companions tried to dissuade him, though it sounded more like a kind of mockery.

“Proud and noble?” Walter sneer. He lit up a cigarette and squinted at Grace, “But look at her. How awful she is now!”

Gloria regretted so much.

She had never expected that there was once a grudge between Grace and those playboys. If she had known about it earlier, she would never have brought Grace here to let her bear all kinds of humiliation.

Grace looked around those familiar faces, who were all once her old friends, but she felt them so distant and strange.

So did her old friends. They could not even recognize her at the first sight.

“Grace, do you have fun staying in the prison?”

Suddenly, a man sitting on the sofa provoked.

Grace’s heart skipped a beat. She suddenly noticed that that guy was once one of her best friends, who always stayed up late, played video games and shared all kinds of fun with her.

“Quinn...”

“No, please don’t address me with my real name,” Quinn waved his hands to deny, “I don’t want to be a friend of a murderer.”

Grace’s body suddenly shivered. She felt dizzy the next second, with the voice of Quinn lingering around her ears.

Gloria was so shocked to hear that! A murderer?!

Though she knew Grace was a prisoner, but she had never expected that she was a murderer.

How could Grace, a seemingly stupid girl, have ever committed murder?1

“Well, I heard that you need money,” Quinn took out a stack of cash from his wallet, with the amount of approximately thirty thousand dollars. He threw it out the table, “Here are the tips for your later show of slapping your own.”

Grace clenched her fists but loosened. She kept repeating the same things for a while.

Though others did not provoke Grace as what Quinn did, they all just sat aside to observe, waiting for her self-humiliation show.

“Grace, are you going to refuse? Think about it, you need that money. I don’t know exactly what kind of urgent thing you have encountered, but I noticed it was Gloria who went to curry me a favor...”

Gloria really regretted bring Grace here.

If there were a chance, she would never make such a severe mistake.

“Mr. He, be lenient wherever it is possible.”

“Gloria, do you think you are qualified enough to dissuade me? You are just a pet kept by the real boss of the Royal Club. We talk to you respectfully just because of your real boss. But you are too weak to negotiate with the upper class of S City.”

Walter walked to the front of Grace, looking down on her, “Grace, your pride or five hundred thousand dollars, make a choice.”
