Steal my heart novel (Grace James and Caden Shaw) novel Chapter 140

A flurry of noises broke out when she finished her words.

“Nonsense! He’s my own father, when have I, Jafar James ever humiliated him!” Jafar growled.

“You didn’t? You knew grandpa cares about Wei’ai the most when he’s alive. Now that you have sold Wei’ai to others, would he be happy? You’re disgracing grandpa! 80 million! Have you not seen money before? Jafar James! With only 80 million, you sold Wei’ai Foundation which was placed high hopes by grandpa! And you even said that grandpa would be glad when he knows about this. Aren’t you humiliating grandpa’s intelligence, grandpa’s morality and grandpa’s capability!”

She scolded from the bottom of her heart with hatred and much more mixed feelings. The man she addressed as father had been that disappointing!

“An outsider like you doesn’t have the right to express your thought here! What happens to Wei’ai and how should I deal with it is none of your business!”

Jafar glowered at her, feeling exasperated too. “If you want to talk about that, that old man would have died of rage regarding that damn thing you caused if he’s alive!”

Grace’s whole body trembled. Jafar actually proclaimed to everyone that she was no longer part of the James family at an occasion like this and also in front of so many people. Instead, she was proclaimed a murderer and a labor-reform offender who was just out of prison!

It was said that family shame was not a thing to be talked about in public…Right, her father had mentioned she was just an ‘outsider’! She clenched her fist hard. How could she rebut? What stance did she have to rebut? Tiredness clutched at her. She closed her eyes and opened them once again. The light which dimmed down in her eyes brightened up once more and she braced herself.

“Mr. James, if grandpa is still alive, he would defend for me at all costs, because he trusted me from the start till the end!” Tears twinkled in her eyes under the light. With everyone’s attention all focused on the farce before them, nobody noticed the face of the woman who was one of the protagonists of that case had gone paler and paler.

Payne who used to stand at the side had walked over not knowing why. “Quit it.” He moved towards Grace and stopped less than three meters in front of her while an angry look appeared on Caden’s delicate, handsome face. “Quit it. Do you want us James’s family to be made fun of as a joke in City S like you again? Grandpa used to pamper and cosset you. He always educated you while letting you accompany by his side.

Yet, a man who was wise all his lifetime has actually made a wrong judgment. He always said you’re the most brilliant one among the James family, yet he still misjudged you. I bet grandpa would never expect you to have done such a thing. If he knows about your deed in his afterlife, would he still trust you? Would he still defend for you? Grace, don’t you think that there would always be people who protect you. Now that you have reached such a situation, it’s because of your unscrupulous doings.”
