I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden)
Chapter 226 Big News

Franklin hurried off the plane. There was a taxi at the airport. He got in and gave the driver an address.

His friend was staying at a home stay in the vicinity of Dali city.

He contacted the friend and that person was waiting for him early in the door of the home stay, while basking in the sun and checking when Franklin would come. A taxi from a distance came and stopped at the gate of the homestay.

As the car door opened, Franklin emerged.

This friend of Franklin's was a woman, and years before, everyone knew that Franklin loved to play, and this woman had gone to karaoke and dinner with him.

As soon as Franklin got out of the car, a smile spread across her delicate face,

"Mr. Cordon, I thought you were joking. You really come here What's up? You come here so quickly, are you coming to chase your wife?"

It was a joke, half true, half false. Franklin smiled and did not speak, with a trace of loss in his eyes.

"Cassie," he said, taking out his phone and clicking on the picture, "Where did you take this picture?"

Cassie, startled, did not answer immediately, but looked at Franklin's face as she investigated what was going on, "Well... Mr. Cordon, you're not really going after your wife, are you? Who is she in the picture?" "You guessed it wrong," Franklin said bitterly.

If, as Cassie had said, he was after his wife, he would have laughed himself out of sleep at night.

"I would like to pursue her, but unfortunately, I have long been not qualified."

Cassie curled her long curly hair in an amorous manner. "To have Mr. Cordon come all the way from a thousand miles away, and to have you remembered. Who is this woman?"

Franklin pursed his lips, and for a moment he muttered, "You don't know."

Cassie curled her lips. "I won't tell you if you don't tell me."

"Cassie, how long have we known each other?" Franklin looked sideways at Cassie. "You should understand me."

He looked at Cassie with a very strong meaning. His dark eyes were deep and bottomless, and Cassie felt a slight tremor in her heart... Franklin was an irreverent dandy, rich and flirtatious, not stingy with his money. But out of everyone's surprise, in that year, the playboy suddenly changed and later he did something shock all the friends around.

Franklin, a coxcomb in the eyes of others, swallowed the whole Corden family.

Cassie glanced at the man next to her... This person had long ago not been that playboy who would play with anyone.

He could now deal with his own family, and then swallowed the Corden family, becoming the top dog of the Shaws'.

Just this mind and this strength were enough to make Cassie admire him... Cassie curled her lips and said. "Well, I will tell you. Don't look at me like that, Mr. Cordon. You have an awful look in your eyes."

She took Franklin to the bar she went the night before. "This is where I took my picture last night," she said.

In a bar?

The man frowned... Could she still not get out of this business?

No... That woman managed to get out of S city. She would not be back into this business again.

"She doesn't work here, does she?"

Cassie wondered, "Why do you think she doesn't work here?'

"She won't. This woman, she..." She had her pride in her bones!

That year when she got out of jail, she didn't go to that rich and glorious home to ask for help, but entered the Royal Club.

People said she was cheap, saying that she was too humble.

What people didn't think was they were her; would they have the desperate courage not to ask for help from their wealthy parents? Whenever she asked for help, even she couldn't get tens of millions of dollars, she could at least get tens of thousands.

She didn't go back to the family, because her heart had been broken or because she was disappointed. But her pride, no matter what kind of torment she had suffered, was hidden in every part of her body.

"The first time I met her, she had a broom. She is a cleaner." Franklin made a nonsensical remark to Cassie.

At first, Cassie didn't get it, but after a few seconds, she got his points.

"You guess it right. She is not the employee here. Yesterday it was noisy here, and came a couple of man and woman. The man is beautiful with good figure. He ran on the stage to dance striptease. The woman in the picture, she rushed up to him. And because of that, it made everyone very angry."

"A man?"

Cassie pulled out her phone, "Look, the guy she's covering. But the picture wasn't taken well. there was actually a man behind her."

Franklin grabbed the phone and only saw this woman yesterday. He saw only this woman in his eyes and ignored the others. There was indeed a man behind her."

"Oh, by the way, the woman wanted to pull the man away, but the audience didn't want to. They all scolded her, but the woman just said that the man was her man." Cassie said, laughing, "What on earth are you looking for, Mr. Cordon?"

She didn't believe that a man like Franklin, who had traveled thousands of miles in the earliest plane in the morning, really had nothing to do with this woman. Hearing what Cassie said, Franklin's face went white... Did she fall in love with someone else?

"Where can I get any news of her?" He asked, his lips pale.

"Ask the barman. I think the barman knows her."

Cassie said, "Mr. Cordon... In fact, in recent years, there are many women fond of you. But they say there is a woman in your heart that you couldn't let go... Can't it be her?"

She just asked casually, but she did not expect that the man would not conceal his feeling, and nodded quite frankly, "Yes."

"What...?" Cassie suddenly opened her eyes wide... "Then, then she, she is..." the daughter the James family abandoned!

It was an open secret in the circle that the woman Franklin kept deep in his heart was the unwanted daughter of the James family, the once glamorous Grace.

No one said that and no one mentioned Grace, because Grace always tied to a man--a man everyone was afraid of!

"Let's go back. This bar is open at 7 p.m., and we can't replace the owner yet." Franklin nodded. "Come on," she said. "I'll take you to check in first."

Back at the home stay, Cassie also helped Franklin get ready to check in. Cassie immediately went back to her room and said on her WeChat group. There was a group in each circle. "Guess what BIG NEWS I heard today!!"

After a few minutes, no one answered her.

She added, "Super news! The once scandal queen has come back!!"

"What better news than the Shaw Group replaceing his runaway wife?" someone replied lazily.

The woman said disdainfully, but she didn't expect Cassie to give a more explosive message here.

"Look at the picture! The woman in the picture is the daughter of the James family!"

"What??"

"Cassie, don't you fool around with us. It is just a picture! Watch out for Mr. Shaw, the workaholic at the Shaw Group."

"No, really? Cassie, are you kidding?"

For a moment, the crowd burst into flames.0000
