I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 90

Grace shivered a bit.

“You should know those people in my friend list.”

Grace’s heart skipped a beat.

Gloria kept struggling, as she knew how awful the consequence would be if Grace drank.

Grace raised her hand and grabbed the bottle held by Quinn, “I will drink it.”

“No! No!” Gloria tried her best to move towards with her eyes wide open, but she was controlled by a strong guy.

Walter took a look at her frivolously, “Sorry, Gloria, but it is the grudge between her and me. You have no right to get involved.”

“No! You will kill her!”

Suddenly, Gloria noticed that her phone vibrated with ring tones.

She managed to break free for an instant and then she connected the call, “Help! Boss, we are at the sixth floor.”

Walter immediately slapped her phone away and sneer, “Gloria, how dare you! Are you trying to ask your fucking boss for help?”

“Alright, we will just wait here. I would like to see how your boss is going to deal with us?”

The call was still connected. The man who answered the phone still remained silent.

“Quinn, let her drink! I would like to see the noble Miss James lower her proud and arrogant head to beg for money.”

“Krik, bring your men and rush to the sixth floor.” The man on the other side of the phone clenched his phone.

Then he rushed to the elevator. Kirk was stunned, then he called his men and followed that man, “Boss, what’s going on?”

Caden still remained silent. But everyone around him could tell from his eyes that he was burning with rage.

As soon as Caden got out of the elevator, he started to search all the private boxes on the sixth floor.

Kirk suddenly realized that his boos was looking for someone.

Meanwhile, in that private box.

Quinn was fiddling with his own phone, “Come on, drink it! Miss James, what are you waiting for? Or I will send your photos on my social app. I guess all my friends must miss you since you were released from prison.”

“Wait!” Grace face turned pale and she stared at Quinn, “I will drink it!”

She knew she didn’t need to save the repute of James Family. But she still tried to avoid embarrassing her previous family regardless of any cost.

“No!” Gloria panicked.

It would be a death risk if Grace drank the alcohol.

Grace took a look at Gloria and smiled at her. Gloria was stunned. She suddenly realized that this silly girl looked so charming when she smiled.

However, Grace wanted to keep Gloria’s face carved in her mind as it might be the last time she met her.

“Come on, it not a part forever! I just ask her to drink a bottle of Whisky!” Walter sneered.

Gloria glared at him.

Grace only smiled lightly. She put the bottle on her lips. When she raised her head, she murmured to herself, “Leona, if I can still survive after drinking, I should have paid you off. If I die, don’t blame me when we meet in the underworld.”

She took a gulp of Whisky. The strong smell of alcohol choked her. She couldn’t help coughing fiercely, spewing out the Whisky.

“Hey, Miss James. Don’t waste it. That Whisky is real expensive.”

“Come on, drink it! Drink it! Drink it!”

“Miss James, are you too picky about the Whisky? Come on, Quinn, you should buy her some Whisky of high-quality.”

They people in the box sneered, mocked and booed.

Bang!

The door was kicked open with a huge noise. Everyone in the box suddenly looked at the door, where stood a tall male figure.

Caden ignored all of them but fixed his eyes on Grace.

When he clearly noticed the bottle held by her, he was in panic.

He rushed in front of Grace and took away the bottle. Then he held Grace in his arm tightly.

“Who did that?!” Caden raised his bloodshot eyes and scanned through those playboys in the room.

Every one of them, including Walter and Quinn, was completely shocked!

“Mr. Shaw?” Walter tried to sound out his intention.

“Kirk, free Gloria, let her speak.” Gloria was still under control by someone else. As soon as Caden said that, the man who gagged Gloria immediately stepped aside.

“How much did she drink?” Caden questioned with a cold voice, but with a trace of worry.

“Mr. Shaw, it is a fortune that you come here just in time. She only took a bit.”

Caden still remained livid. Though only a bit of Whisky meant nothing to normal people, for Grace, it could be deadly.

Grace seemed to be frozen. She could not even move a bit with both her chest and stomach burning hot. Only a bit of Whisky seemed to pull her into hell.

Caden raised his head and glared at those who got involved, “Don’t try to run away! I will come back to you all later.”

His cold eyes were overwhelmed with murderous will, then he shouted, “Kirk, send someone to keep them in the box. Don’t let them escape.” Then, Caden held Grace up and rushed out of the box, “Gloria, follow me!”

Grace kept her head down. Resting in the arms of Caden, she still felt herself drowning in coldness. She kept silent as she was not grateful to Caden’s help.

He put Grace on the back seat.

Suddenly, a check appeared in front of him, “Mr. Shaw, this is five hundred thousand dollars! I have paid off the debt. Now I should be free.”

He fixed his eyes on the check. Only a few words could render him enough information to figure what was going on. He turned to look at Gloria, who was sitting on the driver seat.

Gloria sweated out of fear.

Then Caden shifted his gaze and tilted to look at the woman in his arms. He suddenly smiled, “Do you still remember what I have told you? I told you to transfer five million dollars in that card within a month.”

He raised his hand and took a look at his own watch, “Now it 22:48. There is still one hour and twelve minutes left. Now you can transfer five million into that deposit card. Remember! I did not only ask you for only five million, but I told you to transfer the money into that card within a month.”

Caden especially stressed on the words of “Transfer into that card”.

Grace suddenly realized!

“No, you can’t!”

“Well, I can!” Caden smiled.

Grace shouted, “You are so shameless!”

Now she finally realized that she was fooled by his juggling with words.
