I've Been There Before

The more Grace thought about it, the more she shook her head violently, “I don't want, Mr. Shaw. I don't want to be transferred to
the P.R. Department." Graces voice was overwhelmed with panic as she begged for forgiveness, “lts my fault, l know I made a
mistake, please forgive me, Mr. Shaw. I have already spent three years behind bars, I have paid for it. lÍ you give me back my
bank card, I will immediately disappear from your sight, I will go to a very far place, I promise, I won't appear in front of you
again.”
Grace only focused on begging for forgiveness but she did not realize that Gloria, who was also there, had widened her eyes in
surprise when she heard that Grace had served three years in jail. Gloria was not originally from S City and she came to S City
two years ago, hence she did not know about Graces matter.
The old employees who had been working for Caden for a longer time were all clear about Graces matter.
Caden squinted his long and narrow eyes...She was still thinking to escape from him?
Not appearing in front of him anymore?
“Humph...ˆ Caden Snorted softly, grabbed his phone and ordered his man to do something. Not long after, there was a knock on
the door and one man came in to give Caden a card.
Caden slowly squatted down and locked eyes with Grace, who knelt down on the ground, while his fingers were clamping the
bank card, “This bank card does not have money anymore as l just asked Kirk to transfer all of it.” Grace took a look at the bank
card, and then lifted her head to look at Caden, feeling dazzled.

Caden compressed his lips and said slowly, “You want me to let you go, right?”
Grace was stunned. Although she was puzzled, she nodded immediately.
“Do you think l'm a kind person?” Caden continued to ask but Grace kept silent. The man laughed lightly, “That's right, I, Caden
Shaw, is never a kind person. How will me let you off so easily?”
As if Caden was talking about another person, he looked at Grace insouciantly, like a cat catching a mouse and controlling the
prey in the palm. A charming smile was slowly shown on his handsome face, “Grace, there isn't a penny in this card right now, if
you can earn five million... Caden shook the bank card in his hand, “ÌI let you go as long as yo re able to deposit five million in
this card. Is it okay?”
Is it okay...? Grace looked at the bank card between the man's fingers helplessly. Despair was written all over her face...He had
no intention to let her go!
Five million...was an amount that was too huge for her and she did not even dare to imagine! Whereas for Caden, did he lack
this five million? At this moment, Grace understood that Caden was making fun of her.
Caden stared at Grace, not wanting to miss any subtle expression on her face. His eyes lit up while his lips curled slightly...You
wanted to escape? Dreamt onl

“8§plat.” Caden stood up and the bank card between his fingers fell in front of Grace, “Grace, I don't care what kind of method
you use. I'll let you go whenever you have deposited five million on this card. Otherwise, you will not have freedom at all. And
don't even think about escaping from my control, as long as you are alive, ['ll be able to find you.”
Five million...How could she get five million?
Panic-stricken, she turned her head and anxiously shouted at Caden who was opening the door, “Mr. Shaw, you are truly
coercive! Ì am a cleaner, how am l going to earn five million?”
Caden turned his body and looked down at her, “Gloria will transfer you to the P.R. Department. You can either make yourself a
joke, or act pity, or show your stupidity or ugliness, you can do whatever you can do anyway to entertain the guests. The rích
people have many quirks and you can easily kneel to others, right? You can try all means. If it really doesn't work, you can sell
your bacon.” Caden curled his lips and added, “But it's really hard to tell since you have no feminine beauty.ˆ Caden squinted
and said, “You better look out for yourself.” Grace watched Cadens upright and slender physique disappear from her sight.
Grace turned pale with fright and her skin felt cold and clammy. Gloria who was by the side felt sorry for her... “How did you
offend President Shaw?”
Grace turned her head and looked at Gloria, showing a miserable smile. At this moment, Gloria noticed there was a circle of
bloody teeth marks on Grace's whitened lips, “You, are you okay?” Gloria asked.
“I'm fine," Grace stood up and her body was quivering violently. Gloria felt sympathetic towards her and was about to reach out
to help her stand straight. But, Grace who barely managed to stand still smiled gratefully at Gloria with a pale face, “Thank you,
Gloria.”

“Are you...sure you're okay?” She saw that Grace could not even stand properly and did not believe the word “fine” that Grace
said.
Grace shook her head and uttered the three words to Gloria again, “I'm fine.”
Who would believe it...Gloria gazed at the woman's figure who was limping and could not help but ask, “You and President Shaw
know each other right?”
Gloria distinctly saw that Grace's figure in front of her stiffen for a moment, but Grace asked her back, “Gloria, where is the P.R.
Department? Am I on duty tonight?”
Gloria was startled, “Grace... Gloria originally wanted to ask something but she swallowed the words back and said something
else, “Lets go,
I'lI bring you there.”
Along the way, Gloria purposely slowed down her pace. Several years of working experience in the club had bestowed her a pair
of sharp eyes.
She stared at Graces legs and could clearly feel that her legs were not normal at that moment. She did not notice that before as
she did not pay attention to her legs.
“Grace, were your legs numb due to the kneeling just now?”

Grace thought for a while and felt that since the matters had come to this point, she did not need to hide the secret from Gloria
anymore. She looked at Gloria, slowly turned her body to make Gloria face her back, lifted her clothes and gave a small gasp,
“Gloria.”
Along with Grace's action, Glorias line of sight fell on the back waist that was not covered by clothes. Gloria was too astounded
and she sucked in a breath of cold air, “Grace...' Gloria unconsciously widened her eyes in astonishment and covered her mouth,
looking at the woman in front of her, petrified.
Grace slowly put down her clothes and looked at Gloria who was in blank amazement, “Gloria, I have lost a kidney, my body
condition becomes worse and even a fast walking will make me feel painful.”
“Kidney, kidney...where's the kidney?”
“Perhaps it is donated, I don't know.”
Even Gloria, a woman who had experienced a lot before, felt a chill going down her spine when facing Grace who said calmly
that she did not know where her kidney was...How could Grace be so calm?
“Thats a kidney, it's part of your body!” Gloria tried her best not to denounce Grace angrily. She suppressed her voice and said
as calmly as possible. How could Grace speak so calmly?

Grace slightly curled her mouth, “I know.” Other than these two words, she did not utter any other words again. She only
steadfastly stared at Gloria and pleaded her, “Gloria, please keep this matter a secret." She did not want others to know this
matter.
“You...okay!” Gloria took a deep breath to calm herself. She had always been a strict person, but this time she compromised.
She still did not understand why she felt that the woman in front of her had some similarities with herself.
After thinking about it, Gloria asked, “Since you have lost a kidney, do you still want to enter the P.R. Department? You have to
be able to drink if you enter the P.R. Department and even if you can, you still have to drink a few glasses when you face
troublesome customers. l'lI tell President Shaw that you can't enter the P.R. Department due to your weak body condition." For
some unknown reason, Gloria just wanted to try her best to help Grace.
“Gloria, don't go to find him.” Grace hastily pulled Gloria to stop her. Her eyes were clearly written with pleading, “...Mr. Shaw
may actually know this matter." Grace opened her palm to reveal the bank card and smiled miserably at Gloria, “Gloria, you have
great experiences, do you think myappearance can earn me five million?”
The answer was obvious. Gloria slightly trembled, as if she had understood something. President Shaw was truly torturing and
humiliating the woman in front of her.
However, it's really too cruel...
