Steal my heart novel (Grace James and Caden Shaw)

Chapter 141 The Things That Could Not Be Said

Color flared Payne’s handsome and decorous face. Grace’s words not only dealt a blow to his self-

esteem, but also made him feel like he had lost all his face in front of the crowd!

According to what she said, although she was educated by Master James himself, he had the things

that she had too. Yet until the end, when Master James was still alive, almost everybody would think of

Grace first when they mentioned the James family, not him.

Jafar looked even gloomier too. Having Payne being embarrassed would mean he was embarrassed

too, and he bawled at Grace while watching her with a pair of old brooding eyes.

“Enough! You’re not welcomed here! Not only have you caused the James family to be made a joke in

Shanghai three years ago in just one night, you even dare mess the occasion today too! What are you

planning? The James family has given birth and raised you, and treated you well! Three years ago, it’s

you yourself who made the mistake! And it was a ridiculous mistake! Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

After that, when everyone from the James family walked out of the house, they’ve been gossiped for a

long while---Look, that’s Jafar James, and his daughter is a murderer! Your elder brother was being

teased and made fun of when he socialized outside, and even your mother could not raise her head

high when she was in front of her friends! You jinx! You’ve truly disappointed us!”

The blood all over Grace’s body flowed backwards. She had disappointed them? She had made a

ridiculous mistake? She was a murderer? It did not matter if everyone including Caden chose not to

believe her, yet how could her parents and elder brother who were her family did not trust her too?

Could it be they were actually reluctant to believe? She admitted that her family could keep quiet and

abandoned her due to Caden and the Shaw family’s pressure, yet if they truly had the will, why didn’t

they give her one last meet, and was even reluctant to ask her the truth of the incident?

She felt tightness in her chest and she forced her eyes wide open, not willing to have a blink. She was

afraid that if she blinked, she could not hold back her tears. There was no need for so many excuses!

“If you want Wei’ai, you could ask from me directly. I’ll definitely consent!” That woman’s looks still

contained a trace of ‘Grace’ back then, yet there was a touch of experiencing life vicissitudes and a

sense of bitterness on it. She dragged the corner of her lips to force out a warm smile, yet the smile

had unintentionally disclosed the bitterness she felt.

She stared at the three people standing there and her lips flapped. “Because, we are family.” She could

no longer hold back her tears and she quickly lowered her head and wiped her tears. Yet she had

forgotten the makeup she put on today and she had completely messed the makeup up.

She raised her head when she deemed that she had wiped away all her tears and nobody would

notice. Yet her action had backfired herself as only an idiot would not notice her smudged makeup.

However, no one would deliberately remind her about that at this point of time. An ordinary person

would definitely catch attention with a smudged makeup when walking down the street, let alone it was

the most hypocritical and apathetic circle of people. It was still fine for the men, but the young

mistresses were watching Grace as if watching a good show. Caden squinted and his foot froze in the

air the moment he lifted it up.

“There’s no need for that. Wei’ai doesn’t concern you anymore now.” Jafar’s obnoxious true self was

exposed and he announced stoutly. “Wei’ai belongs to Master He now.”

“I object!” Grace bawled. “It’s grandpa’s and my hard work!”

“You still dare to mention the old man? The old man was embarrassed of you, we James family was

embarrassed of you! Our family doesn’t have an evil and cruel murderer like you!”

Evil and cruel! Grace bit her lip and her heart was slammed with a hammer. Although she should have

already adapted to it, her feelings still fluctuated!

“Murderer. You kept on mentioning that. But did you witness me killing someone with your own eyes?”

She asked with a soft voice. She had buried these words in her heart for a long, long time and she had

wanted to say that for countless times. Yet she knew clearly that no one would believe her if she say it.

She could not find those gangsters who had made the offense that time and any evidence

advantageous to her, therefore she could only shut her mouth up in despair and carried everything on

her shoulder.

Her voice was so soft like her attitude when she spoke, which seemed weird from the indifference it

portrayed. The outsiders only saw her calm appearance, they could not see through the skin capsule

where the soul was crying inside!

Caden who stood out from the crowd looked unbelievably dazzling. He held back his breath but did not

stop the quarrel or criticize anyone. Jafar was in a daze too, yet he was still quick to respond as an old

cunning fox who had roamed the business world. “The phone call and the message three years ago

were still there, is there any need for someone to witness it?”

It was true. If Grace was not the litigant of the case, that kind of message conversation and the last

phone calls would be directed to herself. She would doubt herself if she trusted firmly that she was

innocent. How ironic that such a coincidence had happened to her when there were so many people

out there in the world.

Grace chuckled. No, it was not a coincidence. There was someone who planned the conspiracy yet the

plan failed and she was the one that became the sacrifice for this failure. The only ones who knew the

truth except her would be Wallis Venus who had died, and the few gangsters who had disappeared

from sight when the incident was exposed. Her innocence would not be proved until she died unless

she was able to find those gangsters.

Coincidentally, the other members of the James family had targeted Wei’ai which was under her control

and she was provided a splendid chance. If the gathering of everyone from the James family could at

least hinder Caden from dealing with her, maybe there was time for her to find evidence advantageous

to her.

Yet, no matter what traces of evidence did exist back then, they had already vanished after three years.

Therefore she understood the moment she was sent into prison, that she would not have the right to

speak even she was released as she could no longer find any traces left from that incident. She did go

to the locale after she was released from prison. Every off-day, she would go around the YES Club

though the business had already closed and the building was replaced by a café when she went. She

had no reason to rebut and could only bite her teeth, bear with the accusations, the blaming and

disdainful look, and the criminal charge as a ‘murderer’.

Jafar apologized to all the people at scene. “I’m so sorry that today’s banquet was being messed up.”

He raised his cup and guzzled the wine at once as a forfeit. There were words of congratulations

towards Master He once more and Master He was chuckling, seeming joyful.

Grace’s expression changed. “Patrick He, you’ve taken my grandpa’s belonging, aren’t you scared that

my grandpa would look for you at night!”

Walter who was beside Master He went outraged and dashed forward. “Bitch! How dare you curse my

grandpa over and over again! I---” He almost rushed to Grace’s front and the crowd all widened their

eyes, waiting to see a bloody battle happened.

Yet a shadow blocked in front of Grace without leaving any trace. “What do you want?”

Walter jolted to a halt and was befuddled, so as the people at the surrounding. Caden had brought

Grace over when today was the auction day of Wei’ai, and everyone thought he only did that because

he wanted to humiliate her.

Yet it seemed to be not the case.

The crowd looked towards Caden’s direction in a daze. The man’s handsome face was still apathetic

without any compassion. They saw him stretching out his long arm and putting it on Grace’s shoulder

beside him. He then squinted. “Walter He, she did curse Patrick He over and over again. But what

could you do about it?”

How domineering.
