She grew up with her grandfather, but Payne James preferred to stay with his parents.
Once, grandfather made a joke, saying that: I will give you two a task. Whoever can get the old pen
carried by Uncle Don all the time will win and the reward is the jade from my study room.
Later, she won and got the jade, she felt very delightful. She was born in a very wealthy family, so she
had seen many jades before, but her grandpa’s jade was very different from the others. Its color was
extremely pure. If she held the jade under the sun, the sunlight would go through the entire jade and
glittered. Girls liked glittering things, and she wasn’t an exception as a little girl.
Payne wanted to take it from her when he saw the jade. She refused and pushed Payne slightly, but
Payne fell onto the ground.
The housekeeper that took care of Payne saw this scene and was pissed off, so she said to the little
Grace,
“You’re really a parentless child, so uneducated, and even pushed the master to the floor!”
She was shocked… Parentless?
She asked back immediately, “I have parents, why would you say that I am parentless?”
The housekeeper was stunned as well, then she said, “Aren’t you growing up with the old master? I
don’t see how close you are with your parents… Oh, it was actually my fault. I saw the young master
falling to the ground and I am too worried about his situation. Grace, please don’t tell the old master,
will you? It was my fault, and I would apologize to you.”
She was young at that time, thus, she believed the housekeeper’s words.
But now, at this moment, Grace felt her right foot burnt by actual fire because Sam said that “the sole of
my daughter’s right foot has a mole”. It hurt so painfully that she couldn’t stand it anymore.
“Just, just because of a mole on the foot, you think that wasn’t your daughter? What other proofs do
you have besides that black mole to prove that Wallis wasn’t your daughter?”
Only the mole of the foot wasn’t enough to prove her thoughts… Many people in this world had a mole
on their foot.
As soon as Sam opened his mouth and was about to talk, a noise sounded suddenly.
“Who is it?” Sam tightened his body and looked around warily. His cloudy eyes moved around,
scanning across every inch of the surrounding. Although he didn’t catch anything, yet this sudden noise
put pressure on Sam.
Sam changed his expression and was afraid that things might go wrong: “No more talking!… If I can’t
live, you will not either! Die… with Wallis!”
As he finished his words, his murderous look was unfolded completely!
A sharp flick knife approached Grace!
“Stop!”
Gloria realized that she couldn’t hide any longer. She didn’t expect the old man to be so vigilant. If there
was anything unusual to him, he became alerted and was going to kill Grace without hesitation.
She put her hands on the back and sent her location to Caden with the phone.
After that, she hurriedly threw it to the corner… If the old man saw the phone, he would definitely find
out that she had sent Caden her location.
“Gloria?” Grace shouted, “Run!”
“Don’t be stupid.” Gloria shook her head, “I could not escape the punishment of the boss if I run away
now.”
“Sorry… for dragging you into this.”
“Silly girl, I chased all the way here myself. If I want to run away, I wouldn’t have come.”
“You are Gloria! You work for Mr. Shaw!” Sam yelled, “It’s none of your business at all. Why would you
come here to die for this nasty woman? Don’t blame me then!”
“Heh, it’s so nice of you. You are just concerned that I overheard your nasty story, that’s why you want
to kill me, right?”
Sam’s face was pale and red. He said, “Since you two are going to the hell with me today, it’s fine if you
overheard it!”
“You’re insane! The grudge of your family even implicates the others, and you are blaming everything
on others so shamelessly!”
“I totally believe that Wallis is your daughter!”
“At that time, she wanted to make Grace lose her virginity, but it backfired and harmed herself instead.
Today you want to blame Grace again for your murder… Even you and Wallis are not biologically
related, but I feel like you two are more related than you thought! Both selfish and cold-blooded!”
“Shut up!”
“Why should I? If you can do it, then I can also talk about it. Heh.”
Gloria’s radical speech reproached Sam bitterly. Grace calmed herself down gradually… As if she
thought of something, Grace looked at Gloria, who kept stimulating Sam— Gloria was buying time!
Grace’s gaze moved to the iron gate…
…
Inside the car, Caden received the message sent by Gloria and he hurriedly opened it. A location
popped out of the screen, his heart shrank instantly. The ominous feeling grew stronger and stronger!
There wasn’t a single word except the location… The two women were in a bad situation.
Caden drove the car as fast as he could. He only hoped the car could go faster, faster to reach the
target location!
It was an old warehouse, neither far away nor close to the city.
Inside the warehouse, Gloria successfully infuriated Sam badly. The two yelled at each other and kept
arguing. The sound of the brake rang out outside of the warehouse. It was so loud that even the people
inside the warehouse could hear the sound of friction caused by the fierce interaction between the
ground and the wheels.
Gloria’s scarlet red lips curled up slowly, and she looked at Sam. After that, she turned around, strode
to the corner and bent down to pick something up elegantly.
Sam looked carefully, “What did you do with your phone!”
“Are you blind? Haven’t you already guessed what I did?”
“You were just… buying time?”
“Heh.”
Sam finally realized that Gloria was buying time deliberately.
He had no more time to chat with Gloria, with the knife in his hand, he rushed toward Grace, who was
still tied on the chair. He ground his teeth and yelled viciously: “You won’t live if I die! Nasty girl!”
Gloria’s expression changed at once, she didn’t expect Sam would still want to continue his deed even
when Caden had already been out there… Sam was going to die with Grace!
Without too much thinking, Gloria took action. She stepped forth the moment she saw Sam rushed to
Grace, “Don’t touch her!”
Gloria’s makeup was messy now, but she had no time to think about that. All she knew was that she
couldn’t let Grace be stabbed by the knife.
Grace, as fast as lightening, caught Sam’s arm that was holding the knife, “Stop making more
mistakes!”
“Go away!” Sam shook off Gloria’s hand and kicked her in the stomach. A serious pain emerged from
Gloria’s stomach, she widened her eyes. She felt so painful that veins were shown on the back of her
hand.
She exhaled heavily…. But she still clenched Sam’ arm and would not let go.
Sam was annoyed, wanted to kick Gloria in the stomach again. Grace’s heart was racing fast, she
leaned her body on the broken leg of the chair. With a loud noise, she fell on the ground with the chair,
lying in between Gloria and Sam, whose kick landed on Grace’s shoulder.
“Grace, are you…” Gloria was in a daze, “silly?”
“Gloria, you’re the silly one,” Grace said: “We were strangers at the beginning, then I am your
employee, and you are my boss. What kind of boss would bear a kick for the employee?”
“Well done. You two girls really have an intimate relationship. I will send you both to the hell so that you
two can accompany each other!” Sam shouted loudly, the sharp knife stabbing toward Grace’s neck
relentlessly!
Although they already had prepared for this moment mentally, yet they were so frightened that they
both closed their eyes subconsciously. They had their eyes closed right before the knife stabbed into
the neck.
Ticktock, ticktock…
The warm liquid dripped down onto Grace’s face, she didn’t feel the pain on her neck that she was
supposed to feel. She opened her eyes with confusion…
The next second!
Crack! She was so agitated that she clenched her teeth tightly!
“Holding the knife with your hand… Doesn’t it hurt?” Grace stared dazedly at the hand that grabbed the
sharp knife for her, with the blood dripping onto her face.
Caden looked pale, biting his thin lips heavily, his dark pupils gazed at Grace for a while until he
reassured himself that the woman in front of him was indeed in one piece. He finally felt relived in his
heart.
He turned his head around, glaring coldly at Sam, who looked pale. Before even yelling at Sam, the
latter was already pale, voice came out of his dark lips,
“I have to revenge for Wallis! Why can she live on while Wallis died because of her!” The stubborn old
butler shouted angrily, his eyes were full of hatred for Grace, who was lying on the ground.
Gloria couldn’t believe that someone could be so shameless even at a time and situation like this!
“Wallis’s death was not…”
Before Gloria finished her words, Sam shouted madly in a louder voice: “Mr. Shaw, a life for a life! I feel
sad for Wallis’ tragic death! Sir, you told me that you would seek justice for Wallis’ death! You can forget
about what you said, but I, as a father, would never forget! If you can’t do it, I will do it myself!”
Gloria was so burned up Sam. She couldn’t imagine the existence of such an unreasonable person!
Are the old turning bad? Or the bad turning old?
She opened her mouth and was about to tell what she just heard, but Grace shook her head. Though
Gloria didn’t understand, she still chose to stay quiet temporarily.
“Caden, if I tell you that Wallis would be raped because of her own deeds, and her death was…” Grace
suddenly raised her head and looked at Caden.
“Shut up!” Sam cursed before she finished speaking: “How dare you say that!”
“You shut up!” Caden yelled at Sam coldly, then turning to Grace again: “you, continue.”
“I didn’t frame Wallis to death. She was suffocated to death by Sam.” As she said, she raised her head,
asking Caden seriously: “Will you believe me? Will you believe that I am innocent?”
Her eyes turned to Caden’s bloody hand…
