Chapter 63 Grace Is So Thick-Skinned To Seduce Franklin Cordon

Grace James!

It’s about Grace James again!

Why did everyone care so much about Grace James!

Ruby didn’t want to admit that she’s jealous of Grace James even though she’s not in control now.

“Pr-President Shaw.”

She said shakily, “I have no grudge against Grace James.”

“I don’t want to listen to your nonsense,” Caden said emotionlessly. Using his gloved hands, he applied more pressure on his grip on her chin. That strength was close enough to break her mandible.

It was so painful that it brought tears to Ruby’s eyes. She almost suspected that she heard her bone cracked.

“I-I-I’ll say it.” The person in front of her was a devil, so scary and evil. Because of this, she hated Grace once again…Grace had promised her that she will help her in this!

She didn’t help her at all!

She was only pretending to be a good person!

She faked her kindness!

Disgusting! Fake woman! Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Bitch!

She’s the best when it came to acting all good!

However, Ruby’s thoughts didn’t matter at this moment. She’s still very scared of the devil in front of her.

“It’s Mr. Cordon.”

Mr. Cordon? …Caden contemplated before raising his eyebrow. “Do you mean Franklin Cordon?”

“Yes. I liked Mr. Cordon, but she bewitched him. If Grace knew her place, I would have held no grudges against her.

But she’s the opposite of one! She’ll do anything for money. Mr. Cordon was fooled by her and he’s still not aware of her true colour.

I didn’t want her to continue fooling him. Wasn’t the reason of her fooling him, was just because of his wealth?”

When Ruby voiced out her opinion, she wasn’t only hinting the reason she hated Grace. She also indirectly called out to the man in front of her to not be blinded by Grace’s acting!

Kirk frowned. However, he remained silent at the side.

Neither happiness nor angriness was visible on Caden’s cold expression.

He stared down at Ruby from above and asked, “Do you have any evidence that Grace seduced Franklin?”

“I have!” Rage flashed across her eyes as she spoke, “I saw them hugging and kissing each other at the staircase!”

Caden’s eyes suddenly became alert, “Are you sure you saw them hugging and kissing ech other at the staircase?”

“I’m sure! I saw it with my own eyes! Both of them kissed so deeply as if they couldn’t be separated from each other!”

For a split second, Caden’s breathing became inconsistent, but it was only that split second!

Coldness slowly crept up on Caden’s handsome face. The atmosphere of the room gradually became tense. Kirk had followed Caden for a long time, so he was the first one to sense his boss’s change of mood.

“It’s not only this. Mr. Cordon treated Grace better than how he treated anyone else. Last time when Grace fell, Mr. Cordon held her waist to support her.

If it’s a normal person, how would they let a man hold their waist?”

The surroundings suddenly froze. Caden’s face turned colder.

He squinted his eyes. “How are you so sure that it’s not the other way around?”

It was like Ruby had forgotten her current situation at the mention of Grace. She snorted and vented out her anger.

“How is that possible? What does Grace have? Is it beauty, is it body shape, is it deposition, or is it family background, or is it about her education?”

“She doesn’t have anything. Maybe she has three ultimate tricks up her sleeves, that’s why she’s able to seduce Mr. Cordon. Or did she use her pitiful situation to gain sympathy? I mean, Mr. Cordon hasn’t met someone like Grace before, so it’s possible too.”

Ruby didn’t hold back her thoughts when she talked about Grace. She was really angry. Now that she had the chance to talk to President Shaw, she wanted to do whatever she could to expose Grace James!

Kirk raised his eyebrows while watching Ruby. This woman had definitely forgot about how Grace pleaded to President Shaw on behalf of her, and now she’s even trash-talking about Grace behind her back.

Ungrateful.

Caden remained his coldness. He suddenly loosen his grip and pushed her chin away. He stood up and looked down at Ruby who fell onto the ground.

“Disgusting.”

His voice came out low and cold, disgust and hatred visible in his eyes.

Ruby misunderstood and said, “Yes. Women like Grace James are disgusting.”

“You’re wrong. I meant that you’re disgusting.”

She froze on the spot.

Caden continued, “I finally understand why Franklin transferred you to work under Langston Du. Because you are so disgusting.”

“I…” How was she disgusting? How was she disgusting!

“Compared to Grace, I…”

“Don’t compare yourself with Grace. Even if you live another life, you still won’t be a match for her, not your appearance, not your qualifications, nor your family background.”

Appearance, body shape, education, family background…The Grace from three years ago wouldn’t lack any of these.

For a moment, Caden felt guilty. It was like he was the one that snatched everything away from Grace James.

And today, these traits that Grace once possessed became one of the reasons Ruby attacked her.

“Boss?” Kirk called out to Caden. Boss had been in a daze a lot of times lately.

Caden’s thoughts came back to reality. He scanned Ruby with sharp eyes before saying, “Remember Grace’s performance about drowning someone alive? Franklin originally planned the event for you.”

Ruby’s face immediately turned pale!

She widened her eyes…No! It’s impossible!

“You’re lying! Mr. Cordon is a good guy!”

Caden stifled his laughter. Franklin Cordon was a good guy? A great person?

He was tired of convincing Ruby too. He raised his chin and gestured Kirk. Kirk understood, went up to Ruby and pulled her up forcefully.

“Where are you taking me?” Ruby panicked! She was worried that President Shaw would do something horrible to her.

“Annoying.”

Caden’s one word was enough for Kirk. He immediately gagged Ruby and took her into the car.

In front of the warehouse, including Caden’s Bentley, all five black cars departed simultaneously.

…

Franklin was at his mansion located in S City.

The five cars stopped neatly in front of the security house of the mansion.

“Send a message to Franklin Cordon that Caden Shaw has something to gift him.”

Upon seeing the situation, the security guard knew well that their presence was not to be messed around, and the aura that they gave off was unlike any ordinary people. In addition, as a security guard in this small area, he definitely heard of Caden Shaw before.

He dared not to defy their orders and immediately called Franklin, “Mr. Cordon, a group of people appeared here and they want me to convey a message.”

“What message is it?” Franklin asked lazily.

“Caden Shaw is here to gift you something.”

Franklin squinted his eyes and immediately came to his senses. His lips slightly curved upwards when he heard the message. “Let him in.”

The security guard let them in and the cars finally stopped in front of the mansion.

“President Shaw, it’s so kind of you to bring a gift for me when you visit me,” Franklin said in a mocking tone while leaning against the main door in his pyjamas.

Caden smiled coldly in return. “I didn’t know that Young Master Cordon had the habit of narrating at his own door?”

“My pleasure, President.” Franklin turned polite and invited Caden into the house.

Caden immediately sat on the sofa once he entered the house while Franklin went to the bar and asked, “What do you want to drink?”

“Young Master Cordon, do you know this lady?”

Ruby was pushed onto the floor in front of Franklin as soon as Caden questioned.
