I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 89

“Do you still remember the moment when you forced Wallis to drain a whole bottle of Whiskey? Have you ever expected you would suffer the same today?”

Grace stared at Quinn blankly, who was roaring at her. Grace was quite confused, “Me? I force Wallis to drain a bottle of whisky?”

She questioned every word of Quinn with doubts. She disdained to use force against Wallis, especially such a dirty trick to force her drain a bottle of Whisky.

“Are you playing dumb with me? Grace, you were jealous of Wallis so you prodded her into drinking the whole bottle of Whisky. Don’t you think no one knows your evil thing, right?”

Grace suddenly interrupted, “There was not such a thing! I didn’t do it!”

Quinn glared at her with hatred, “You mean I wrong you? Or you think that Wallis was lying to me at that time? If it weren’t for that I happened to meet Wallis lying on the ground, totally intoxicated, no one knew what kind of terrible thing would happen next! You said you did not do that! But I was exactly the witness of your evildoing!”

“Grace, do you still try to deny that Wallis was drunk because of you or what I saw with my own eyes was fake?”

Grace was so shocked as if she got hit by thunder.

“Did...Wallis tell you that?” Grace asked with doubt.

Quinn was even burning with huge rage when hearing that, “Stop acting as if you knew nothing! You seemed to be the best friend of Wallis, but you did those dirty tricks behind her back! Do you think that no one knows? How are you going to explain the bruise on her arms and legs!”

“That’s the way you see me? You deem me the culprit who have tortured Wallis?” Kneeling on the ground, Grace’s eyes were getting dimer.

She was overwhelmed with exhaustion and pain, but they soon disappeared. She had already realized something about it.

She had been pinned beside the toilet, choked out of breath and tortured till she could only stay up for whole night during the three years in prison. She stared at the ceiling above the toilet blankly, trying to figure out any clue of the evident that could prove her own innocence. She needed to prove herself that she was wronged.

The more she thought about it, the soberer she became. She even started to doubt if her own guess was wrong and Wallis was actually the innocent one!

However, from the moment she took the blame of Quinn, she suddenly realized that how ridiculous it was during the past three years that she tried every mean to help Wallis evade accusation so as to dissolve the suspicion in her heart.

“What are you laughing at, Grace? What the hell are you laughing at? You laughed because Wallis was dead as you wished? How shameless you are! Stop laughing, goddamn it!” Quinn was overwhelmed with rage when seeing the woman kneeling on the ground wore a weird smile on her face.

Grace raised her head and smiled at Quinn, but no laughter could be heard from her mouth. Her smile looked so creepy in others’ views.

Finally, Grace spoke again with her hoarse voice, “Quinn, thank you! I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart! You pull me out of my doubt against myself and I am clear about my own suspicion of Wallis.”

She had never done what she was accused. However, the anger of Quinn was so real.

It could prove nothing but one thing--Wallis had even told Quinn such a lie!

There had been so many doubts about that matter. Grace did nothing about it, but she finally took all the blame because all evidences went against her, which included the message and call records in Wallis’s phone.

But Grace did not even suspect Wallis.

That was why she was so grateful to Quinn.

But her gratitude sounded more like a kind of provocation from others’ views.

Quinn almost collapsed out of rage, “Thank you? You said thank you?”

Damn!

He reached out his hand to grab Grace’s hair hard and put a bottle of Whisky in front of her, “Alright, since you are so grateful to me. Drink it, drain the whole bottle of Whisky and I will make all my friend here delete every photo and video about you!”

“So, is it fair enough? You forced Wallis drain a bottle of Whisky at that time, and now I need you to drain a bottle of Whisky just as what you have done to her. I, Quinn, swear to God that I will never make things difficult for you after that!” Quinn then continued fiercely, “So what’s your choice? Drink it or not?”

Grace remained speechlessly.

Meanwhile, Gloria was gagged and could not even open her mouth.

“I did not do that and I can’t drink!” Grace explained in a calm tone. She was even willing to kneel down, drown herself in the water box and even destroyed her own voice. She dared to do whatever she was told but drink liquor.

“I don’t drink,” Grace raised her head, “My boss promised that I have the right to refuse any request of drinking.”

“Hahaha...It was the first time that I have heard a staff of the club has the right to refuse to drink. Grace, do you still deem yourself the powerful lady who could do whatever you want?” Quinn took out his phone and showed her the video he just recorded, “If I just simply press this, your video will be uploaded on my social media account! Are you going to insist on not drinking?
