I've Been There Before

Chapter 14 Humiliation and Torture

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 yoư 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. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“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...
