Chapter 77: Chapter 77 Leon and Cayne

Grace knew that she had been out of her mind.

But in the eyes of Caden, she was stunningly beautiful, and was even more beautiful than she had been three years ago… But Grace had no idea about this.

“Tell me, what it is?”

She was not afraid of losing anything, for she thought she had nothing.

“I want…” Caden was bewildered, but he suddenly paused at the next second.

His expression changed as he insouciantly shot a glance at Grace, “What can you give to me?”

He had always been reasonable and indifferent! He had always been composed! How could he allow a woman to ruin his composure and reason casually?

His grandfather’s admonishment lingered in his ear. He had told him: One day, when there is a person who can impact your emotions and decisions, then please don’t hesitate and kill him in person.

Grace was so upset… Leona, my dear Leona, I was still so useless.

Why?

“Why? Mr. Shaw, I have been useless to you. Please do not be hard on me and let go of me like sparing an animal’s life. It’s so simple and so easy. Why couldn’t you show me some mercy?”

Grace was dejected, “Even if you hate me so much, I had been imprisoned for three years and I had lost everything. What’s the fun of keeping me by your side?”

Caden chuckled, “Grace James, do you think that three years are enough? Three years for a life? It’s so cost-effective, right? Of course I should keep you by my side, and then I can slowly torture you until it’s enough to pay off Wallis’s life! Even if I can let you off, have you ever thought of Sam? He was old and Wallis was his only family in the world. If I let you off so easily, what am I supposed to tell him?”

Grace remained silent and kept her head lowered. Caden frowned. Her beauty of despair had disappeared as if it was a nine days' wonder, and Grace changed back to the jittery woman again, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

“President Shaw.” Just as Caden was reaching out towards Grace, Grace suddenly raised her head, “President Shaw, you said that if I can deposit five million into the card within one month, then I will be given the right to choose whether to leave or to stay. President Shaw, you’re the most powerful person in S City, so you’re definitely a man of your words and won’t go back on your words, right?”

After all, she should have a try… Otherwise, she would not be able to realize Leona’s dream for the rest of her life.

That girl told her that she hadn’t been to the Erhai Lake and that she wished to run a Bed & Breakfast by the lake… But in the end, she died and closed her eyes, and would not open them again.

Grace’s was waiting for Caden’s answer. She was waiting for Caden’s final decision.

But Caden was fuming at this moment… This woman was so determined to leave him!

He felt gust of anger for no reason, but his eyes looked so cold, “Of course. But I should remind you, for the one-month time limit, you don’t have too much time left.

He had primed Gloria not to arrange work for Grace before, so he was confident that this woman wouldn’t earn five million within one month.

Not to mention five million, she couldn’t even earn five hundred from now on.

Hearing the words, Grace secretly heaved a sigh of relief. But she didn’t know that the man standing in front of her had been paying attention to her every movement, even if it was so minor.

A trace of mockery flashed across Caden’s long eyes.

He lifted his long leg and walked across the sofa. He then picked up a finance magazine on the table and indifferently ordered her to leave while sitting down, “Get out.”

Grace didn’t want to stay here.

She got out from the sofa and walked towards the lift. But she was unaware that behind her, he was following her into the lift with his deep-set eyes.

When the door of the lift was about to be closed, Grace shot a glance at Caden who was sitting in the living room. The man hadn’t raised his head and was still reading the magazine in a composed manner.

Grace then looked down at the ground.

…

In the Lo Group Leon Lo glanced at the man who was sitting on the sofa of his office, “You seem to have a good mood recently.”

“Of course, I found an interesting prey.”

“Cayne.” After hearing the words, Leon put down the document file and looked at Cayne seriously, “Stop your game. That’s not interesting.”

“No, No, No, Leon, venery is a very graceful exercise.”

“If venery is as interesting as you’ve described, then why have you changed your preys frequently in recent years?”

Cayne shook his index finger, “No, No, No, the interest of venery lies in the process of determining your prey and hunting it step by step. What I’m enjoying is the process. Process. Do you understand, my dear Leon?”

Leon frowned out of instinct, “I don’t have such a repulsive addiction like you.”

“Yeah, I know, I know, you only have Mildred Owen in your heart, how could you… Ouch…” Cayne moaned, “I’m sorry, Leon.”

The coldness in Leon’s eyes gradually faded.

“Don’t mention about her in the future.” Leon said the sentence flatly.

“Leon, sincerely, it’s not good to be like this. You can’t get over the past if you keep living behind.”

“I don’t want to get over the past,” said Leon flatly, “Alright, go and hunt your new prey.”

Obviously, Leon didn’t really want to continue to talk about this topic with Cayne.

“Haha…” Cayne chucked and glanced through the window towards outside, and then looked at his wristwatch, “Hmm… It’s early now. She hasn’t gone to work.”

Leon caught the key of his words and asked, “She hadn’t gone to work… What did you mean?” He glanced at the watch – it was 15:37 now.

It should be the working time. Even if that girl had got off work in advance, he shouldn’t have said that she hadn’t gone to work.

“Oh, my amusing new prey is working in a nightclub.”

‘So she worked during the night.” The idea flashed across Leon’s mind, but it disappeared before he could catch it.

Leon shook his head… Maybe it was because he had been so tired recently.

Leon caressed his eyebrows, “But I don’t think a woman working in a nightclub would be interesting.”

“No, Leon, you’re wrong. She’s very interesting, and she’s the most interesting woman I have ever seen. No one could be her in this aspect. Leon, I got a good idea and I decided not to go to the nightclub tonight.”

“Oh… So you give up your new prey?”

It was definitely impossible. According to his knowledge of Cayne’s characteristics, he wouldn’t give up the prey whom he was interested in before he had successfully won her heart.

“No… I just feel that this idea is better than going to the nightclub to find her. Oh yeah, that’s the case, let’s do it.” He seemed to be answering Leon’s question, while seeming to be talking to himself.

Leon was accustomed to his behavior style. He frowned and held back the words, for he was familiar with Cayne’s past, it was so hard for him to bring up the topic to Cayne.

“Leon, I have to go first.”

“Okay.”

When Cayne touched the doorknob of the door of the office, a thought flashed across Leon’s mind. He sighed heavily…

“Cayne, sometimes you shouldn’t go too far. It not only hurts others, but also yourself.”

“What are you talking about? I don’t understand it.”

Leon shook his head, “No, you know what I’m talking about. I meant… If one day, the prey that you are once interested in coincidentally becomes the most important woman in your life. I have a question –

what would you do in the face of such a destiny.”

“It’s impossible.” After saying the words, Cayne opened the door and walked out of the office.
