I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 88

Quinn was speaking through his phone, then he said to Grace, “Hey, Grace, guess what. I just called you brother. Do you know what he had just said? He told me there is no such a girl named Grace James in his family. Haha, Grace, you are so pitiful. What kind of benefit would you get when you kill your bestie? It was such a doom for Wallis to be your friend.”

While speaking, Quinn glared at Grace. It seemed that he wanted to tear her apart.

Grace kept her head down to hide her expression.

Grace did not refute as she knew Quinn had a crush on Wallis. She could do nothing but mock herself, ‘Is it useful to explain if no one believes me?’

But she felt her heart ached for the words of Payne.

Grace smiled bitterly, and then she started to bend her knees.

Bang!

A loud noise could be heart when Grace knelt down on the ground, with glass fragments stabbing into her flesh. She did feel hurt, but she managed to endure and looked at Walter, “Let go of Gloria!”

Gloria was shocked with her eyes wide open.

Walter laughed out loud when seeing that, “Hahaha, I have never expect that the proudest lady in the S City, Grace James, would be willing to kneel down in front of me. Grace, do you still remember the time when I spare no endeavor to court you? But you just simply refuse me by saying ‘You don’t deserve to be my boyfriend.’ And you make me the joke of the whole city.”

Walter stared at Grace with the joy of revenge.

“Grace, what a karma for your suffering today!”

He picked up the check and stepped backwards, and he waved the check in the air.

“You want that money, right? Here it is,” He pointed at his crotch, “The five hundred thousand dollars will be yours if you creep across my crotch down here.”

Walter just wanted to revenge himself for the humiliation to be refused at that time.

“No! Grace! No!”

Grace took a look at the check.

Her heart was fluctuating. She suddenly looked at Gloria.

Gloria felt herself out of breath.

‘Sorry, I have my own things to accomplish. I need to get rid of that man.’

Grace took a deep breath and closed her eyes. For her, it didn’t matter to kneel down since it was not the first time. She had nothing to lose.

Two more wine glasses were crashed on the ground. Gloria shouted, “Mr. He, do you think it’s necessary to do such evil things?!”

Slap! Walter hit Gloria again. “Don’t touch her!” Grace said coldly.Grace crept bit by bit with her kneel moving forward. The further she moved, the more fragments stabbing in her flesh. Gloria was about to stop her, but someone else interrupted, “Miss Gloria, just stay aside and watch. If you irritate Walter again, Grace will definitely suffer more.”

That seemingly threat alerted and stopped Gloria, though she was burning with anxiety.

“My boss will be angry if you play such dirty tricks on her.”

“Wow, who is your boss exactly? If he was really anger, just tell him our names.” Those men didn’t think there was anyone in this city dare to fight against their families head on.

No one would be that stupid to offend their powerful families just for the sake of Grace, a mere staff in the club.

Though it was only four or five steps upfront, Grace felt like she was kneeling of tip of knifes.
