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 © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
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!
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.
