I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 156

In the gloomy study, Caden looked at this report in front of him, and his expression was somehow serious.

"So that's what you found out?" A few thin pieces of paper, could not help the woman to overturn the case, but even further confirm the woman's vicious words and deeds before.

Kirk nodded, "Boss, there was really nothing hidden about what happened three years ago. After a lapse of three years, there is no one else who knows the truth except Miss James.

I can only start the investigation from Miss Wallis's close classmates.

The three people on this file were all roommates of Miss Wallis’s roommates. According to their memories, three years ago before the crime, Miss Wallis was very happy. At that time, one of the female classmates even made fun of her that Miss Wallis was so excited to meet her boyfriend.

Miss Wallis said at the time that Miss James would take her to the “Night” bar to broaden her horizons.

That was what all the three girls in the room had heard."

The implication is that this matter is justified, and it could not be false since the three girls in the same dormitory had heard that together.

"There are some other details, which are recorded in the documents." Kirk says, "Boss, there can be no falsehoods in what happened three years ago."

Behind the desk, Caden's slender and long forefinger flexed, tapping the table again and again, his eyes falling on the document as if weighing something.

"Kirk," he said suddenly, in a deep voice, "You go to the prison and check again."

"Bo... Yes, Boss." Kirk was going to argue back, but finally he compromised.

Since Boss cares so much about things three years ago and is so concerned about that woman's affairs, then he'll look it up... Kirk didn’t believe that woman is innocent at all.

If that woman is innocent, doesn't it mean there's something wrong with Miss Wallis?

No, this was impossible!

Miss Wallis was such a kind person and so delicate. Compared to Miss Wallis, if there is any problem with Miss Wallis, it is the woman who has more problems.

Kirk turned around and left the study. But there’s doldrums in his heart. Boss asked him to check what happened three years ago and what happened in prison. In fact, in the boss's mind, maybe he already thought that there is something wrong with Miss Wallis.

Just wait, boss! Wait for him to figure out things in the prison together and put the pure truth, all in front of boss so that he can no longer be partial to that woman!

In the study.

Caden read the file again, frowned in deep thought.

When he got the investigation report and saw the results, he was solemn and, it must be admitted... It was a relieve for him to know that he had not wronged her. And that comforted him more.

But this kind of comfort could not allow him to selfishly ignore the incompatibility of the whole thing.

The results of Kirk’s investigation were not wrong... But maybe it was wrong in the first place?

Ladd has been standing beside Caden, like an invisible man.

But at the moment...

"Ladd, you have seen everything just now, then you must have understood some things too, right?" His sharp eyes rested on Ladd’s face. When the latter heard this, his pupils were dilated suddenly. And it took a while before he nodded resignedly. Yes, he understood.

He understood the meaning of this emperor like man in front of him - boss meant that Kirk had bias from the beginning, so there was something wrong with this report.

"Boss, Kirk has been with you since he was a child. He may have some selfish motives, but he will never betray you when it comes to big issues."

Before he finished speaking, Caden raised his palm to stop Ladd from continuing to say, "He will not falsify this report. But he will be taken advantage of by others because he couldn't see it clearly at the beginning.

He will not falsify the report, but it is hard to say whether the results of this report are true or false." Caden pushed the report to Ladd:

"Listen, what I want you to do is dig up what happened three years ago. But this matter must be kept secret. Even Kirk cannot know it."

Selfishly, he hoped that Kirk had not been used by others, and the authenticity of this report was reliable. In this case, he had not wronged the woman about what happened three years ago... But the woman told him with her own conduct that she could not do such a wicked thing three years ago!

Three years ago, he was able to keep his mind at rest and ignore the truth.

Now, when it comes to her, it's hard to keep his former indifferent state of mind...

Naturally, he noticed those details that he didn't pay attention to before, and those tiny doubts that he didn't pay attention to...

He wanted to check and he had to check. Her spine was bent by him, and he should give her an explanation.

Ladd took the mission, but at this time, the phone rang on the table.

Slender fingers pressed the connection button, and the man's face was like full of dark clouds for an instant

If there was a trace of guilt just now, but at this time, that god-like handsome face got so gloomy like the dark clouds!

He suddenly stood up, his slender body condensed an explosive force!

"Boss? What happened?" Ladd’s face changed too, because he had rarely seen Caden like this!

"I didn't expect that woman had never stopped the thought of running away from me!"

The man clenches his teeth, as if every word jumps out of the back alveolar!

On that beautiful face, frost all over!

Even Ladd, a big man who has been with him for a long time, can't help but tremble fiercely!

When hearing Caden's words, Ladd’s heart sank into his boots! His mind told him it is not a good sign. But before he said anything, the person in front of him were already whizzing out.

Ladd hurriedly followed out. He had to run before he could barely catch up with the vigorous and resolute figure ahead!

"Boss, calm down, maybe a misunderstanding!" Ladd chased up and when he looked at boss at the moment, his boss looked as if he was going to kill someone. When he was around Caden, he had seen his affection for Grace with his own eyes. If the boss got angry, Ladd was afraid that he would do something bad and regret it!

In that case, what to do!

Caden thundered out and ignored him at all.

Pulling the door to getting into the car, a series of actions were like clouds and flowing water, and the car flew out. Ladd had no time to get on the car, so he could only go around to another car immediately, pull the door, sit in, and quickly catch up with the car in front.

But the car in front galloped out, almost as fast as a racing car, he watched his own Boss on

the high line, staged a scene after scene of thrilling car racing.

He could only reluctantly follow the car in front, but he couldn't catch up.

He could only stay far behind!

The car went down the viaduct and drove to the left. Suddenly the brake came on hard and the sound burst into the air!

Ladd finally caught up, and when he raised his head, he was surprised…the police station?

What did boss come here for?

Before he could think about it, Ladd got off the car quickly and ran after him.

...

"Miss, keep it, this is your new ID card."

"Thank…” Thank you.

Before she finished her words, a hand suddenly snatched the ID card from the service window staff.

"You took the wrong card, this is my ID..." Grace turned around. Instantly her rigid and pale lips started to tremble the moment she saw him, "You, you, why are you here?"

"Do you want to escape from me?" The man's stern face was filled with coldness, and he didn’t answer the question.

"No, no..."

"No?" The slender fingers shook the ID card in his hand vigorously: "Then what is this? Explain?" Her ID card had already been taken away by him, but this woman came to apply for a new ID card. What else could all this tell, besides that she was going to run away from him?

"I..." What can she say? He is not a fool!

"Grace, you are so slippery. For so long, staying by my side obediently, numb my nerves, let me put down my guard, then take advantage of my relaxed mind, and when have no vigilance against you, you run to apply for a new ID card? Heh~"

Grace bit her lower lip... Still, she failed again?

"You give me back me ID card." Her face is pale, "Caden give me my ID card!"

"Hehe~"

"If you don't give it to me, I will call the police, right now, right here. Caden you give it or not?"

The man was infuriated and his mind was full of "this damned woman is going to run away from him". This thought would burn all his sanity!

At this moment, the words of a woman added fuel to the fire.

"Call the police?" He smiled. The lips were upturned, but the emotions hidden under his fundus implied that wasn’t a real smile.

"Good, go tell the police."

In a hurry, she yelled in the office hall, "Police! Police! I want to call the police, you can see, this person snatched my ID card and didn't return it to me."

"Sir, you..." The public servant at the window had not finished his words yet.

The man opened his long arms, reached her and dragged her into his arms, "She is my wife, the young couple quarreled. You polices should get involved in the family affair?"

"Er…"

“I am not his wife, don't listen to him nonsense, I don't know him at all!" It was okay for her not to say this. But once she said this, the people here believed that she and the man next to her were a couple.

She said she didn't know him, so how could she call this man's name in the first place?

"Miss, if your young couple want to quarrel, go home and quarrel, this is police station!"

"I really am not his wife!"

Suddenly, the man bent down halfway, resting his head on her shoulder, and said in an extremely dangerous manner: "Grace, do you really think that no one here knows me? Even if this insignificant civil servant doesn't know me, what about his boss? "

In a split second!

She got it all!

Someone here knew this man!

But nobody stood up to stop...clearly, they didn't want to offend him!

For a moment, her mouth was bitter, just like a frosted eggplant.

Caden stood up abruptly, a ruthless grasp of her arm, said in an extremely deep voice,"Come with me!"
