I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden)

The next day, the headlines on the newspapers were shocking!

--The James Group's ownership changed! Miss James came back for revenge!

--Miss James returned discreetly. For saving the James Group? For other purposes?

--Astonishing! In turmoil, the James Group changed hands overnight! A woman usurping power, there was nobody else to take over the James Group!

--Billionare fell! Disregarding family, Miss James crusaded everywhere!

Such horrifying headlines covered all the major newspapers in a day.

Those with ulterior motives revealed that Payne James, the eldest master of the James family, was already in critical condition because of leukemia, but Miss James, who was the only one to physiologically match him, had refused to donate bone marrow to her brother! For a time, Grace James was burdened with negative news.

Caden Shaw just got up. The butler had already prepared breakfast and several newspapers at the dining table on the first floor.

Caden casually swept the newspapers. Seeing the content, he was extremely angry. The face being ashen, he threw down the newspapers and squeezed out words, "To investigate who did this!"

Ladd Shaw had been quietly waiting beside.

Hearing this, he nodded quickly.

The man at the dining table had a glum face. He gazed the newspaper on the ground again, and his beautiful eyes could almost spit out fire!

He had used all sorts of tricks to coax Grace back to S City. However, before he began to go for her, these bastards came out to destroy his plan. His ways had not been executed yet!

If she was forced to flee again, he would not have the second chance to find her!

Saul Shaw was standing at the side. He felt a chill to clearly hear the sound of his boss grinding his teeth.

Kirk Shaw had no longer been entrusted with any heavy responsibilities by Caden ever since he had committed an offence. He had almost been considered to be of little importance. Caden had heavily punished Kirk, but had not driven him away. Some people did not know the reason behind, but Saul and the others who were working for Caden did know.

Kirk, Ladd and the others, they were not only subordinates of Caden, but also the boyhood friends.

Three years ago, Saul had gradually replaced Kirk and had become Caden's one of the most important assistants with Ladd.

Caden's eyes were filled with danger. He called Ingemar Joseph murderously, "Help me investigate who have managed the headlines of today's newspaper as well as their accomplices. Do me a favor." Kirk might not be able to find out more than Ingemar. The call woke Ingemar up. His voice was still sleepy, but he bounced out of bed and said in disbelief.

"What? You never treated me so politely!" Caden had even used the word "help" kindly!

Caden frowned. If it weren't related to Grace, he would have hung up the phone right now. Ingemar was even uncomfortable about his politeness!

He said angrily, "In the future, anything about Grace can't be published."

Ingemar was still in a daze, but his phone was hung up.

What was up?

Suddenly, he was sober. Could it be...

"Uncle Anthony, bring me today's newspaper."

Uncle Anthony was the butler of the Joseph family.

Because of the specialty of the Joseph's industry, they never lacked the newspapers. Soon, a stack of newspapers on a wooden tray was placed on Ingemar's bedside table.

As soon as the newspapers came, Ingemar quickly took and browsed through them.

Actually, there was no need to bother looking for it. The front-page headlines were very eye-catching!

Only looking at the headlines, Ingemar instantly understood why Caden had been so angry early in the morning.

Ingemar couldn't help rolling his eyes... Only when Caden encountered something about that woman would he be so nervous. He understood why Caden had been so polite and asked him to give him a favor.

All of a sudden, all sorts of emotions came... Some people had said that Caden had changed Grace James's life, but the fact was that Grace had exerted a gradual and imperceptible influence on Caden's entire life day after day.

When Grace opened the door, Caden was already standing at her door in a neat suit.

Grace was shocked by the person standing at the door and retreated.

Suddenly, a firm arm was wrapped around her waist. She could clearly feel that the arm was like a pair of iron claws, so tightly wrapping around her that it caused every inch of her waist skin to ache.

"Let me go, Mr. Shaw," she said calmly. Her words were so gentle as if the man who had intimate contact with her were just a stranger passing by and accidentally bumped into her.

The man's eyes darkened. So this was the feeling of being rejected by the person he loved... He had once rejected this woman with distaste. At that time, she must have been in such an indescribable pain.

The bitterness in the man's black eyes was about to overflow.

However, compared to bitterness, he liked to look at her smile, her eyes with disgust and dislike when looked at him. Suddenly, the arm around her slender waist hugged her even harder. The man quietly lowered his eyes... It was good that she was right in front of him... It wasn't a dream!

Trying to seal her between his arms, he tightened his arms again. He sensed her refusal. At this moment, he could clearly feel the inner pain. However, what could be more fortunate and happier than the fact that she was still beside him and in his arms?

"Don't move, okay?" His voice became hoarse. The man held the woman in his arms and clasped her little head with his big palm. "Just like this, let me lean against you for a while, okay?"

She had wanted to push away him, but now she hesitated for a moment. Was it her illusion?

She actually felt that the man in front of her was begging her.

Caden Shaw begged her?

Caden Shaw begged Grace James?

What a joke!

Ridiculous!

Such a tough man would never beg anyone else!

Feeling it ridiculous, she was thinking what kind of trick he wanted to play at the same time.

Just as she was pondering, she forgot to push him away and the hand she reached out stopped in midair.

In this moment, the man finally relaxed--he was really afraid that she would push him away.

If so...

The man suddenly paused!

He didn't dare to think of that "if".

He hugged her tightly, as if he were going to rub her into his flesh and blood.

He placed his jaw on top of her soft head gently and closed his eyes contentedly... Well, it was not a dream this time.

The smell of shaving water from his chin rushed into her nose. The unique smell of this man made Grace complicated.

She had thought that she knew Caden well, but at this moment, she was completely confused about his behaviors.

Those terrifying past memories flooded in her head like a tide and appeared before her eyes. She felt suffocated and painful right away. Enough!

Enough... enough!☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
