Franklin looked shocked, ââ¦â After a while, he finally looked enlightened, âGrace, I donât believe your words. I donât believe that you are a gold-digger, otherwise, why would you say something to me like that last time. You asked me not to become a person that I hate because of you⦠Grace, I donât believe that you are really a gold-digger. I know my behaviors hurt you, butâ¦â
âStop right there. Master Cordon, Letâs get it straight. Why donât I just tell you everything. You want me to go with you? Sure, wait until the day you defeat Caden Shawâ¦â
She smiled mildly and reached out her hand, âDo you have a cigarette?â
Franklin was confused about her question and nodded: âYesâ¦â
Grace said, âGive me one.â
âWhat do you want the cigarette for?â Though Franklin was confused, he still handed over a cigarette.
When Franklin took out the cigarette and the lighter, Grace took away the lighter when grabbing the cigarette.
Crack!
Franklin was stunned, âWhat are you doing!â He stepped forth and wanted to throw away the cigarette in disbelief.
Grace dodged and took a deep sip of the cigarette, exhaling the smoke, âMaster Cordon, you see, how much do you know about me? How much do you know about Grace James? And you want me to go with you? You donât even know that I can smoke⦠So you would believe that the woman in front of you, Grace James, is not a gold-digger?â
Grace glanced at the frightened Franklin in contempt. The smoke further enlarged that contempt in her eyes⦠Grace looked exactly like a gold-digger who just hook up with a rich man and despised the poor young man.
âJust leave.â Her eyes were cold and she spoke contemptuously. She flipped the ash of the cigarette, but she did it so unskilled that the cigarette almost fell onto the ground. But Franklinâs attention was on Graceâs face at this moment.
Franklin didnât expect to see this scene, not the scene of Grace smoking, but the woman holding the cigarette whose look and behaviors were completely the same as the women who loved his money.
When those women went out to have fun with him, they looked at the beggars on the street in contempt, which was exactly how Grace was looking at him right now.
Grace was so similar to those women he met before!
Franklin was distracted by this sudden scene, but the next moment when he saw her leaving resolutely, he was woken up at once, âDonât go! I donât believe that! Grace, donât you want to lie to me again!â
He stretched out to stop the woman, and he couldnât help kissing the womanâs lips eagerly. Once he touched that lips, he sighed in his heart⦠A long-lost sensation.
Grace was shocked and stepped on Franklinâs feet!
âLet⦠Hmm!â
âGrace, I wonât let go no matter what this time! We have the chance to be together, even Caden wants to stop me, even I am against the entire worldâ¦â Franklin was immersed in an exciting mood, and he didnât notice a sharp fist smashing to him from behind.
âBang!â
âYou donât have to be against the entire world, I am your first enemy!â A grim voice rang out along with the sound of that punch.
Humbert stopped Ingemar, who wanted to help, âDonât!â
Humbert was more reasonable, âCaden must be infuriated by this scene!â
Franklinâs head was bleeding instantly, and Grace widened her eyes in shock. She immediately took out her phone and dialed 120, âHello, we need helpâ¦â
Before she finished, the phone fell to the ground into pieces.
Grace looked at the broken phone, âMr. Shaw, what are you doing!â
Cadenâs hands clenched into fists, âWhat am I doing? You ask me what I am doing? Graceâ¦â The man spoke in an extremely soft yet strange tone, the danger was hidden behind his black eyes. He stared at Grace coldly, âWhat have you done? Or what are you going to do?⦠What? You want to leave with Cordon?â
Graceâs face turned pale, âNonsense!â She was stubborn enough not to weep, and her sight landed on Franklin, she clenched her teeth, âMaster Cordon!â
She didnât want to explain nor to bear that manâs grievances!
Franklin also knew the truth.
When Franklin heard Graceâs words, which meant something else, his heart shrank and a sharp light flashed across his eyes. Thought with some hesitation, his desire to be in possession surged, âMr.
Shaw, Grace is afraid of you, but I am not! The grudge between you two was already in the past, and it was naive. Caden Shaw, you are so selfish to occupy Grace and wouldnât let go even if you donât like her!â
As Franklin said those words, the last sign of blood was drained away from Graceâs face! She stared at Franklin unbelievably!
Caden was so mad that he almost lost his mind! Franklinâs words made things worse. Cadenâs sanity was almost taken over by jealousy, but Franklinâs words further stimulated this man.
Humbertâs heart trembled, âItâs over. Caden was completely pissed off!â
Cadenâs deep eyes locked on that woman tightly⦠She was still looking at Franklin! Is there anything good about him to watch?
Was Franklin more good-looking than him?
Caden stared at Graceâs swollen red lips, sweat all over her face, even wetting her hair⦠Was the kiss so passionate? Even her hair was messy?
Thinking of this, the jealousy in his heart almost drove him crazy! As though poison was in his eyes, glaring at Grace fiercely, âGrace, well done!â It was impossible for her to leave him in her life!
Grace was also looking at Caden. Suddenly, there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, âYou havenât changed. How is it possible for the proud Caden Shaw of the Shaw family to change?â She laughed in a heart-broken tone.
How would he change? What he gave her was more and more grievances, more and more distrust.
Making her painful and suffocating.
It was alright, Grace⦠Her lips curled up, âSo, would you let us go, Mr. Shaw?â
She admitted it! She admitted it! Every bone of Caden was flooding with jealousy, the coldness in his eyes was deeper and deeper, âGrace, why are you still so naive⦠After all, you have been in the prison for three years.â
She looked at him with a smile, trying her best to ignore the pain that was tearing her heart. She smiled, âMr. Shaw, youâre right. I will never forget this. You⦠donât need to worry.â
Franklin grabbed Graceâs hand, âI am taking Grace away today!â He looked at Caden furiously.
âGive it a try. Try and see if you can take a person that I donât want to let go.â
Caden stared at Franklinâs hand that grabbed Grace, feeling very uncomfortable.
He stepped forth and was about to punch Franklin in the face.
The two began to fight. Caden caught Grace and yelled, âHumbert, Ingemar, now itâs a group fight!â
âFuck! This isnât a group fight, itâs a bully!â Ingemar yelled, as though he despised Caden very much, but he was the first one to join the fight.
Humbert covered his forehead speechlessly⦠Ingemar was really trying to make things worse.
Since Ingemar joined the fight, Humbert had no reason not to follow.
The two fought with Franklin, Caden took the chance to pull Grace out of the fight zone. He bent down and picked her up straightly, âI will leave this to you guys.â
Humbert peaked at the person that was leaving, âFuck! Caden, you asshole!â
Franklin was in a hurry when he saw that Grace was taken away, he grew more fierce, âMove out of my way!â
As for Grace, she was already put into the car.
âWhere are we going?â Grace found that this section of the road wasnât right, and asked hurriedly.
âCivil Affairs Bureau!â
She panicked, "The Civil Affairs Bureau is off work!"
The man chuckled, "You are so naive."
She seemed to understand his chuckle, and became more panicked, reaching out to pull the car door, "Open the door! I want to get off!â
