I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden)

Color flared Payne’s handsome and decorous face. Grace’s words not only dealt a blow to his self-esteem, but also made him feel like he had lost all his face in front of the crowd!

According to what she said, although she was educated by Master James himself, he had the things that she had too. Yet until the end, when Master James was still alive, almost everybody would think of Grace first when they mentioned the James family, not him.

Jafar looked even gloomier too. Having Payne being embarrassed would mean he was embarrassed too, and he bawled at Grace while watching her with a pair of old brooding eyes.

“Enough! You’re not welcomed here! Not only have you caused the James family to be made a joke in Shanghai three years ago in just one night, you even dare mess the occasion today too! What are you planning? The James family has given birth and raised you, and treated you well! Three years ago, it’s you yourself who made the mistake! And it was a ridiculous mistake!

After that, when everyone from the James family walked out of the house, they’ve been gossiped for a long while---Look, that’s Jafar James, and his daughter is a murderer! Your elder brother was being teased and made fun of when he socialized outside, and even your mother could not raise her head high when she was in front of her friends! You jinx! You’ve truly disappointed us!”

The blood all over Grace’s body flowed backwards. She had disappointed them? She had made a ridiculous mistake? She was a murderer? It did not matter if everyone including Caden chose not to believe her, yet how could her parents and elder brother who were her family did not trust her too? Could it be they were actually reluctant to believe? She admitted that her family could keep quiet and abandoned her due to Caden and the Shaw family’s pressure, yet if they truly had the will, why didn’t they give her one last meet, and was even reluctant to ask her the truth of the incident?

She felt tightness in her chest and she forced her eyes wide open, not willing to have a blink. She was afraid that if she blinked, she could not hold back her tears. There was no need for so many excuses!

“If you want Wei’ai, you could ask from me directly. I’ll definitely consent!” That woman’s looks still contained a trace of ‘Grace’ back then, yet there was a touch of experiencing life vicissitudes and a sense of bitterness on it. She dragged the corner of her lips to force out a warm smile, yet the smile had unintentionally disclosed the bitterness she felt.

remind her about that at this point of time. An ordinary person would definitely catch attention with a smudged makeup when walking down the street, let alone it was the most hypocritical and apathetic circle of people. It was still fine for the men, but the young mistresses were watching Grace as if watching a good show. Caden squinted and his foot froze in

asked with a soft voice. She had buried these words in her heart for a long, long time and she had wanted to say that for countless times. Yet she knew clearly that no one would believe her if she say it.

as she could no longer find any traces left from that incident. She did go to the locale after she was released from prison. Every off-day, she would go around the YES Club though the business had already closed and the building was replaced by a café when she went.
