I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 189

Three things must be done!

Firstly, the truth of what happened that year.

Secondly, they need a child.

Thirdly, in the strict Shaw Manor, who had the chance and the motive to give her a bottle full of “Vitamins”.

The answer seemed to be obvious.

“Leave now.” In front of Caden stood an old man, who compared to others of his age, his dressing, and the way he spoke was more proper than the others.

This was also due to his spending years in the environment of a high society family and learned from his surroundings.

The old man frowned, “Mister, the Shaw family wasn’t just our employer, the Venus family had been taken care of by the Shaw family for generations. That is to say that the Shaw family people are the benefactors of the Venus family. When the owner gives an order, the servant wouldn’t dare to refuse. But before I leave, doesn’t Master need to tell me, this old servant, the reason why you want me to leave the manor?”

Caden wouldn’t be so angry if he didn’t mention this but Sam wasn’t about to let this go.

With a cold laugh, “Why? Sam, don’t you know why?” His eyes flashed a chilly look, “I never expected that the strict manor rear garden would have a mole. Sam, am I supposed to thank you that you gave her a contraceptive pill and not a slow-acting poison?”

After he heard that, Sam’s heart skipped a beat. He realized that this incident must have been revealed by that slut... he pondered and thought that How could a woman be reluctant to bear his child for the Shaw family?

He thought, what Wallis couldn’t do, how could this slut’s be so determined?

She’s pretending to be restrained.

Don’t all these confirm his previous suppositions?

She intentionally set up a trap, let him dig himself in, and thereafter complain against him... This woman was truly skilled in sinister plots!

Sam’s old carved face revealed a layer of rage. When he realized this, he drooped his head even lower.

“I don’t know what master is saying.” He must never admit to doing this.

Caden looked coldly at the old man, “Whether you know about it or otherwise, Sam, move out of the manor today.”

“Sir!”

“There’s nothing left to say.”

Sam opened his mouth to say something but in the end, he didn’t speak a word and could only nod, “Yes, Sir.” He hid his fists in his sleeves, but facing Caden’s determined attitude, even if he has the gift of the tongue, there wouldn’t the sliver of a chance.

He had been with Caden for several decades and understood this man who took over the Shaw family at a young age. This man wasn’t easy to deal with. Once he decided on something, no one would be able to change his mind.

At the manor’s garden, a nondescript man handed something over to Ladd.

The two simply exchanged a couple of words and Ladd didn’t look at the contents. He grabbed the brown-colored bag ran back looking troubled. He ran through the living room and up the stairs towards the study.

Sam left Caden’s study and was knocked over by Ladd.

Boom!

The brown documents folder dropped on the floor and the folder opened and scattered its contents all over the floor.

“Are you alright? I’m so sorry, I’ll help you pick ...” Sam squatted down and stretched out to pick up a piece of paper. Once he saw it his expression changed.

He didn’t look at it in detail and an arm reached over, “No need, no need.” He pushed away his hand and grabbed the paper from his hand, “Sam, go and do your things, I’ll pick them up by myself.”

Sam didn’t want to argue and nodded, “I’m sorry,” and turns to leave.

He didn’t leave the house immediately but quickly went to the toilet on the first floor.

Mr. Garcia shouted at him “Don’t dash about, Sam, slow down.”

“I have a stomach ache, I can’t endure any longer.” Sam apologized as he smiled and held onto his abdomen and dashed into the toilet.

Once he was in the toilet, “clank”, at the door was locked.

He quickly takes out his phone and calls.

“Old Master Shaw, bad news!”

Old Master Shaw was playing with his pet bird and was upset to be disturbed by the call, “Why you are so upset, you are already so old, can’t you be more composed? Shouting about like you were young.” He scolded before continuing, “What’s the matter?”

Sam spoke eagerly, “Old Master Shaw, master has found out what happened that year!”

“Impossible, what happened thereafter was arranged by me. Even if he finds out, he is still my grandson.” What he meant was no matter how capable Caden was, he can’t escape from his ancestor’s grasp.

“It’s true! I just saw Ladd with a document folder. No wonder he was in such a hurry. We collided with each other and the documents were scattered all over the floor. I simply picked up a sheet and saw one of the incidents that happened that year... He was guarding against me and I could only take a glance. But I dare to guarantee that in this document folder, it must contain the events that happened that year!”

At this moment, the Old Master Shaw on the other end of the phone couldn’t sit still, “What?”

“Without a doubt. As I went downstairs, Ladd was still picking up the documents, Old Master Shaw, you must quickly think of something! You must not let master see those documents! Quick think of something!”

“Okay, don’t yell anymore!” Old Master Shaw face was turning blue and said with a deep voice, “Leave it to me, I’ll ask you about the rest of it later.”

The call ended as soon as he finished.

Ladd picked up the documents from the floor and just glanced them but his professionalism had been deeply imbued in him since young. He shouldn’t look at his master’s things.

He picked up the documents and put them into the folder and knocked on the door.

Knock, knock.

“Enter.”

Ladd hurried to Caden’s side, “Boss, there are some documents for you.”

Caden calmly looked at him and took over the folder and pulled out the documents.

The shrill ring of the phone pierced his ears and Caden frowned. He glanced at the phone on his table and didn’t intend to answer it.

The phone continued to ring.

“Boss, it’s Old Master Shaw,” Ladd remarked.

Caden pursed his lips tightly, placed the documents on the table, and picked up the phone to answer the call. The caller said something and Caden’s expression changed. He stood up immediately and looked very troubled.

He looked at the folder again, clenched his teeth, took his black long overcoat, scarf, and leather gloves.

“Boss, what happened?”

“Let’s go! Old Master Shaw has a brain hemorrhage, fainted, and sent to the hospital.”

Caden left the study and went downstairs. Ladd went to get the car but Caden suddenly remembered something and called Mr. Garcia, “Mr. Garcia, take good care of Missus when I’m not around.”

The car arrived and Caden hurried up the car, “Quickly, go!”
