"Crack…" With a harsh brake sound, the driver stretched out his head and yelled, "Damn it. Watch your way!"
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry..." Grace James hurriedly apologized, feeling a little lucky. Fortunately, the driver braked fast, so she only suffered small injuries.
Franklin Cordon stared at the driver coldly, "Watch your language. It's you hit her. You still blame her?"
Franklin said fiercely. The driver was a little scared of him. He murmured, "Go home to quarrel. Don’t quarrel on the road." While talking, the driver drove away.
Although Franklin's attitude was fierce, he knew that he could not blame the driver. He glanced over Grace again. She didn't fall seriously, but certainly she got some bruise.
He hurriedly ran towards Grace, "Grace, don't move. I'll take you to the hospital."
"Don't come here!"
Grace sat on the ground but her expression became calm.
In the heavy rain, on the muddy ground, she raised her head in the rain. Her rough voice slowly sounded.
"Mr. Franklin, I don't need any happiness. I don't need any redemption. Now my life is fine. Please don't disturb my life anymore." ‘Don't break into my life at will.’
When everything was immersed in darkness, that beam of hope light was not redemption, but sin.
Franklin's expression changed. He looked down at the person in the mud in the rain. The heavy rain also hit him. He ignored the woman’s words and walked towards her.
Grace's expression changed drastically, "Don't come over!" She roared in a rough voice!
She rejected this man with practical actions who was going to break into her world.
"Mr. Franklin, do you know who I am?" In the rain, she chuckled lightly. The heavy rain covered the pain in her eyes. But her smile was even brighter, "Mr. Franklin, are you rich? If you have money, you will be my guest. I only care about money. You come to Royal Club with the money and I will not let you down."
She said, "Mr. Franklin, I'm waiting for you at Royal Club."
In shock, Franklin looked at the woman getting up from the muddy difficultly, limping away in the rain.
Her words were still echoing in his ears, “Are you rich? If you have money, you’ll be my guest. I only care about money. I will not disappoint you when you come to Royal Club with money.”
Ruby Carter told him that Grace loved money and could do everything for money.
He was noncommittal at that time. He understood Grace's difficulties.
However, when he confessed to her today and showed his real feelings to her, he never thought that this woman would still choose money.
Franklin did not blame Grace for loving money... Was there anyone in this world who did not want money?
However, he was a little lost in the choice Grace made today.
There were two choices for her, one was that the feeling Franklin had decided to take seriously for the first time in decades, and the other was money... But this woman seemed to love money more.
Franklin stayed still until he could no longer see Grace's back in the distance. He came back to his sense suddenly. When he tried to chase her, there was no trace of her.
He knocked on his head, "No... If this woman really loves money, she should accept me, right?"
Instead of pushing him away, she should grab him, grab his money, right?
Immediately, Franklin became confused again...Why? Was it because of Caden?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt right. Franklin was confident, "Caden, Grace will accept me sooner or later."
…
Grace hurriedly returned to the dormitory and closed the door quickly, as if a beast was chasing her behind.
Her clothes were worn out when she fell down just now. Fortunately, the driver stepped on the brakes in time. Fortunately, she wore the long clothes and trousers so she didn't suffer serious injuries. The bruise on her palm was not a big deal.
She hastily dealt with the wound on her palm, then she picked up the mobile phone on the side. After hesitating for a while, she gave a call to Gloria Su, "I... want to ask for leave today."
Gloria was confused. She took the phone away deliberately to check the name at the screen of the phone. She was sure that it was Grace who was calling. She felt a little surprised, "Grace, what happened?"
"...No, I'm a little tired and want to take a day off."
Gloria heaved a sigh of relief. "That's OK," she agreed very quickly. "You, finally know to rest. Okay, take a good rest today. You don't worry about things here."
Then they hung up the phone.
