I've Been There Before

Chapter 12 The Lowly Grace

She said to him seriously, “Caden, you are so strong and talented and have so many enemies. Caden, you must not have any weaknesses. Your woman must not become your weakness. Wallis is too weak. l, Grace, am strong!”

Each time he scolded her, “Slut, you even covet your friends man!” Each time she will talk back with her head raised, “Caden, you are still single, when Wallis becomes your girlfriend, I will leave you alone”

What an arrogant woman!

“I beg you to return my money." He heard the voice of her begging.

Cadens face turned gloomy... was she Grace? That proud and confident woman?

He grabbed Grace's wrist and yanked her towards his car.

“Money, my money, let me ofÍf, without money l can't go.” She kept repeating and Cadens eyes colder... she really planned on escaping!

Caden stopped and looked at the bodyguard dressed in black, “Go and look at her luggage. Keep all her money and bank cards."

Grace heard and panicked, “What do you intend to do?”

Caden laughed coldly, “You want to escape? Do you think that you can escape with money? Grace, oh Grace, it's either you are too naive or l've become too kind.”

He leaned towards her ear and like a nightmare, “How will I let you off so easily? After coming out of prison you should have gone as far away as possible and not let me see you. Since you ve been seen by me, Grace, you worry be able to escape.”

Caden looked at Kirk and then towards the taxi driver.

Kirk nodded to indicate that he understood.

Caden grabbed onto Grace and violently pushed her into the car and he entered the car, “Drive.”

The driver answered respectfully, “Yes, Mr. Shaw.”

Along the road, Grace didn't dare to speak and beside her was a block of ice. She leaned towards the door. Beside her was her greatest fear, Caden.

After entering the car, he also kept quiet. His left leg was crossed over his right leg. And he looked down emotionlessly. His eyes were indifferent under the gold frame glasses, but he was not as calm as his outward appearance.

lfs wasn't clear how long they drove before the car stopped. Grace looked outside and her face immediately turned pale.

“This, this is the Royal club? Shaw, Mr. Shaw, why did you bring me here?”

Along the way over, Caden never looked at Grace and when he heard Grace's fear, he squinted and didn't know what she was thinking. He turned and saw a terrified woman and then he raised his eyebrow and smiled, “What do you think?” he laughed and glanced her, “Miss... Grace... James...”

Grace felt a chill and begged, “I beg you, you are a great man. Let me off, Mr. Shaw, if I have offended you, I seek your forgiveness, I'll kneel down and kowtow to you...”

“Shut up!”

Grace had never expected that the perpetually calm Caden can be so furious! Her face got even paler, “1, l... She was at a loss for words and clenched her teeth. In the small enclosure of the car, she bent her knees...

His eyes glared at her with anger and she actually knelt. Does she not have any dignity?

Cadens fury continued, he opened the door with one hand and dragged Grace out with the other hand, “You want to kneel? You love to kneel?”

Cadens face turned gloomy with rage and pushed Grace to the entrance of the Royal Club. He pushed her onto the ground, “Since you love to kneel, Grace, you can kneel here and showed how lowly is the Miss .James nowl”

He didn't even know why he was so angry. This woman had always been disgusting and beyond arrogant. But now she had lost her pride and was even more disgusting!

Grace! Grace! Gracel!

Is she Grace? How can this spineless woman be the Grace who once proposed to him with all pride?

lt was only now that Grace digested Cadens words. Her face was pale while looking at him, “Mr. Shaw, I admit to my mistakes, please let me off, I beg you. l was already in prison for three years. l... She wanted to say that after she paid her debts, she was willing to give him her life to repay Wallis' life.

“Don't you love kneeling? Kneel!” He yelled coldly, “Since you love to kneel, let everyone look at you. How the eldest of the James family has lost all her pride and dignity!”

Grace's body trembled. She thought that she will never be sad again and can deal with these calmly.

She was wrong!

Miss .James...?

Caden, what are you joking?

Whoever said that if there ¡is Grace, there is no James family and from now on the James family doesn’t have Grace?

Kneel... should she kneel?

No! NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

But who was she?

She was just a '926' number! She was nothing. Dignity? Pride? Hahahaha... When she was Grace, the eldest daughter of the James family, he even could imprison her and she didn't have a fighting chance!

Now that she was nothing, apart from kneeling, apart from selling out her dignity, she had totally nothing to negotiate with him.

Caden, it's not that I love' to kneel but I have nothing else to utilize!

You ve taken away my past and killed the Grace of the James family. You murdered a living person's past and present. l am worse off than a wandering vagabond. They have a dwelling and a past, what about me?

Dignity? Grace lowered her head and ignored the bitter taste in her mouth. She shivered and raised her eyes and saw Cadens murderous eyes.

Grace looked at Calder's eyes just like that and steadily knelt... Caden, the James family daughter has pride and dignity. How could a criminal like me have any?

He pursed his lips tightly and walked over silently. People around were watching them and whispering, no one knew what he was about to do.

A pair of long legs appeared before Grace with a shiny pair of leather shoes revealing the owner's attention to details. Her heart skipped a beat and saw the pair of legs squatting down. Grace lifted her head with an expressionless face and they faced each other.

“Are you really Grace?” The mars black eyes wondered and asked her sternly. lt was as if Grace was pounded by a huge hammer. Her body

twitched, she didn't reply and after a while, Caden stood up and looked down at the ant-like woman and calmly said, “Come with me.”
