I've Been There Before

Chapter 301 Does He Feel Insecure

Grace looked deeply at Ruby.

“You threatened me with the James Group?”

“Grace, sue me, and then everyone would know your company is an empty shell. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

I’d love to see you lose everything.

How could you, who would lose everything, stand in front of me and question me like this? How could you be so arrogant!”

She hated Grace the most for her attitude. How could Grace always be so arrogant?

Grace was so cheap before. How could she live a better life than her after disappearing for three years?

Grace was only a cheap and dirty woman, but why was Grace better than her all the time.

“What ability do you have? You just inherited your father’s business?

Everything you have is given by your family.

No!

You took it from your family.

Grace, you’re not only cheap, but also heartless.

You even didn’t let go of your family!”

Kim slapped Ruby on the face. He was so angry that his hands were trembling. “What nonsense are you talking about! Miss Grace has said that everything is over. When can you stop making a fuss!”

Ruby suddenly went crazy. She turned her head and glared at Kim, who was standing beside her.

“You think you’re kind?

Didn’t you look down on this woman back then, saying that she was ruthless and even hurt her own family?”

Kim’s face turned pale and he suddenly looked at Grace. “Miss Grace, it’s not … it’s not the truth!”

“Don’t deny it. You said it but you don’t have the guts to admit it?

At least I’m stronger than you in terms of it. I admit what I did! You dare?

Grace, do you think you are welcome?

Do you know what the whole company calls you behind your back?

Black Widow!

Ah, I forgot. You’re just a criminal who hasn’t even graduated from high school. How could you know Black Widow?

Do you need me to explain it to you?”

Grace only quietly looked at the furious Ruby. In the past, she had never been angry about it, and now she was even calmer than before.

“Finish?”

Ruby was gasping and gazing at Grace in anger. Seeing her violently heaving chest and furious gaze, Grace asked in an indifferent voice.

“Ruby, do you know why I let you go just now?”

Ruby raised her chin so highly that her meridians and collaterals began to swell. It could be seen how much she hated Grace.

“Why?” Grace sighed lightly.

Ruby glared at her fiercely. “I don’t need your pity! Who are you going to show compassion for?”

“Why … Ruby, I didn’t ask you for more details about the leak. I didn’t ask if you did it on purpose or by chance.

Do you know why I let you go?

If you really want to harm the James Group, with so many media here, they would have known it earlier. If you want to spread the news about the James Group’s capital gap, everyone would have known it now.”

Grace’s eyes were clear. Ruby looked at her without blinking.

“But the truth is, so far, only Cayne knew it.”

When she was in the company, she had thought of this.

News was the letter with wings. If anyone wanted to spread it to the public, everyone would have known it.

“Ruby, why? Just because you hate me? You’re not going to argue for yourself?”

Ruby trembled. In the next second, she bit her lips tightly and glared at Grace arrogantly.

“Yes, I hate you!

The person I hate the most in my life is you!

I never hated anyone as much as I hated you.

But at least I’m not that crazy!

Thousands of families rely on the James Group.

Even if I hate you and want to slap you, I will not let so many employees lose their jobs and cause so many families to live a hard life because of my selfish desires.”

Grace looked at Ruby for a long time and suddenly laughed. She extended her hand and pushed Ruby away. “I have to say, you are much cuter now.”

She looked at the watch and checked the time. “It’s getting late. I’ll take my leave.”

Kim was standing aside, frightened. “Miss Grace, I said that because …”

“Alright.” Grace didn’t let Kim talk too much. The moment she spoke, Kim’s face turned pale. In the next second, she continued calmly.

“You did say that. However, I won’t remain your bonus of this month just because you admit your mistakes or make excuses.”

With that, Grace reached out and opened the door. “Ruby, although I forgive you, you can’t stay in the James Group. As for hating me, you can continue.” She walked out of the room and turned to look inside. “Find a good man and live a good life,” she said with an arrogant expression that Ruby hated the most. “I allow you to hate me until I die.”

Ruby stared blankly at the limping figure before Grace disappeared from her sight.

After a long while, Ruby was still in a daze. “Kim, what did she mean?” Later she jumped and stepped heavily on the floor, shouting, “I hate her arrogant face the most! Sue me! I’m not afraid!”

...

In the night breeze, when Grace returned home, it was three o’clock.

The moment she opened the door, she habitually put on the slippers that were put tidily at the entrance. There was a pattern of pink rabbits on the slippers. They were furry and warm in the late autumn.

She was slightly surprised. The lights in the living room were dimmed tonight.

Was he asleep?

She switched on the lights in the living room. In an instant, there was a warm light in the room.

She subconsciously investigated the living room ... Nobody?

Then she hurried to the balcony.

On the balcony, there still stood that professional telescope, but there was nobody there.

Where was he?

Inexplicably panicked, Grace turned around and rushed to the bedroom. Her footsteps revealed her anxiety. She quickly pushed open the door and turned on the light.

She finally heaved a sigh of relief.

She took two steps forward and squatted down where that man was lying on the floor. She saw his messy hair hanging out of the quilt. If she did not think about who was in the quilt and did not look at his face, she felt that this man was cute. His furry head was exposed and he shrank like a cooked shrimp.

It was said that people who curled themselves up when they slept were insecure.

So, did Caden feel insecure?

She felt amused and shook her head … The person who had come to that conclusion must be a liar. It was simply a fallacy!

She really couldn’t imagine that Caden would feel insecure.

Even if all the people in the world felt insecure, Caden won’t.

Caden seemed to be woken up. He moved slightly, opened his eyes and rubbed his dizzy eyes. He said in a soft voice, “Grace, you’re back. I cooked noodles and put them in an incubator. I’ll go get you some.”

Perhaps, she was indeed hungry. She looked gentle and didn’t refuse. “Alright.”

Caden immediately emerged from the quilt and rubbed his eyes. He jumped up and ran to the living room happily.
