Steal my heart novel (Grace James and Caden Shaw)

It had been five days!

The man in the study emanated a grim aura.

Kern was related to that incident as Caden had expected. But it seemed that Kern also had some problems on his side. Ladd had been following Kern secretly and saw that Kern went to find the driver that brought Grace to Hangzhou, but then Kern did nothing else.

Kern had thought the same thing as Caden did.

The man curled up a self-mocking smile... The thing done by all of them, either intentional or unintentional, eventually that woman became the innocent scapegoat under their conflicts and was sent to the prison.

And now, who would have thought that the woman fooled everyone so sneakily.

"Well done, Grace." He laughed bitterly.

Knock, knock.

"Come in."

"Boss, I am here." It was Gloria.

There was a sound of rustling from the bed, a dark shadow shrouded her eyes, Gloria's eyelids twitched slightly and she dared not to make a move. She had already understood that this was going to be an unkind meeting. She did hesitate whether or not she should confess.

But at the end, perhaps she saw her past self in Grace. The story of Grace was her own story from the past.

She eagerly wanted to help that silly woman escape, indeed, she was also helping herself from the past when she was as silly as Grace.

After hearing the story between that silly woman and the man in front of her, who would be able to forgive this man who used to hurt someone utterly.

Even Gloria couldn't act against her conscience and forgave this man in front of her just because he was her boss. She couldn't forgive anyone for Grace, if she wasn't Grace; if she was Grace, she would not let go of what happened!

In this way!

"Repeat what happened that day from the beginning to the end."

Gloria managed to stay calm, her brain was sober, retelling everything that happened that day in great details. There were some uncertainties in her words, but they made it even more trustworthy. According to a criminology book, a speech that was too real or too detailed, and without any flaws, it must be modified carefully in one's brain repeatedly.

Therefore, there were flaws in Gloria's words.

Caden didn't say anything, just like he didn't find any suspicious evidences from Gloria's words.

And she didn't have the reason to take consequence for an incident that was completely unrelated to her.

Still, Caden did not know Gloria well enough. At least, he didn't know about that Gloria from many years ago. The Gloria he knew was loyal and utilitarian, selfish and cold, which allowed her to live for such a long time in a place like the Royal Club, watching people coming and leaving for one night after another.

How would a person like this make trouble for a thing that was not beneficial and unrelated to herself?

He stretched out his hand and waved at Gloria: "Just leave."

He couldn't find her! Anywhere!

It wasn't until now did he realized that she had already disappeared without any trace. He had no idea about which direction she would be going at all.

Those gangsters were almost tortured to death by him, but that wasn't what he needed the most!

The car downstairs sounded the horn. Caden lowered his eyes and looked down, catching sight of the person getting off the car. Caden was surprised... It was him? Downstairs, the butler asked politely: "Sir, you're?"

"Tell your master, Franklin Cordon of the Cordon family is paying a visit."

As he spoke, a cold voice interrupted:

"No need, I am right her." Caden stood at the stairs: "Let's get it straight. Frank, why are you here."

"I am here to see your joke."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
