I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) -
Chapter 262: A Scheming Woman
Grace was already mentally prepared. Perhaps this Nora would ask for money or ask her to persuade Mrs. James to restrain. However, what she did not expect was that Nora had such an idea!
She stopped talking, but Nora was anxious. She hurriedly said to Grace, "I don't want anything. I just hope that Ollie won't be laughed at.
I don't want any money from the James family.
As long as you can let Ollie return to the James family and acknowledge his identity, this is more important than anything else."
Nora said sincerely, "Mrs. Shaw, you should be considerate of a mother's selfishness."
After Grace heard Nora's words, she was speechless for a moment.
Even Caden was surprised.
After hearing Nora's plea, he took a deep look at Nora.
He lowered his head and looked at the expressionless face of the woman in his arms. He knew that she had already seen through Nora's thoughts.
Jafar was retired and the James Group was already in the hands of Grace. It was not only a matter of dignity to let Ollie return to the James family. Once the James family recognized that Ollie was a James, then it would be justified for him to join the James Group in the future.
As a James, he would be able to obtain connections in this circle. Others would respect Ollie because of the James family and him, Caden. In the future, Ollie would be able to rely on this status to obtain a lot of convenience.
Not to mention, as long as he had a legitimate status as a descendant of the James family, Ollie would be able to get the shares of the James family's property in the future.
If this child was ambitious and had the intention to occupy the James Group, then it was very convenient for him to use means.
He took another deep look at Nora. This woman was not simple like her appearance. She was a scheming woman.
Nora looked at Grace who was expressionless and felt a little nervous. She lowered her head guiltily and said, "Mrs. Shaw, we don't want anything. Although I did something wrong, please forgive me. I am also a mother. I just want my child to stand in front of others and not be scolded as an illegitimate child. I hope he can live with dignity. Please... agree to my request!"
Grace looked at Nora, but her thoughts had already flown far away.
She thought a lot.
She thought about the past, her childhood, and Wallis, whom she hadn't thought about for a long time.
She thought about what her grandfather had taught her when she was a child. No matter how good her grandfather was to her, when she got carried away, he would tell her seriously, "You have a brother. The James family only has one heir."
At first, she didn't understand. Later, she learned more, read more, listened more, and understood. After she understood, she didn't dare to get carried away. Later, she almost never mentioned the James Group.
When her grandfather took her to meet the Queen of a certain country, she knew that her grandfather wanted her to be gorgeous and outstanding anytime and anywhere, living like the Queen of a certain country. But the queen's elegance and dignity were all based on the premise that she did not involve the local politics.
Grandfather gave her the Wei'ai Foundation and it almost used half of her grandfather's private property. At that time, she knew that the James Group was reserved for her brother, Payne.
She suddenly wanted to cry and her heart ached. But she didn't dare to cry. Once she cried, she really couldn't lie to herself anymore.
When she cried, she had to admit that she had not been loved unreservedly by anyone for decades.
Slowly, Grace gave a smile. Her grandpa loved her.
"You want me to acknowledge his identity and let him return to the James family?" she smiled softly. The expression on Grace's face was indescribably strange. For some reason, Nora trembled slightly under the gaze of Grace, but she didn't care about anything else. She hurriedly nodded, "Yeah, I hope Ollie can return to the James family. Only in this way can Ollie stand in front of others with confidence."
"You know..." Grace was calm as she stared at Nora's face with an indescribable expression, "If my grandfather was still alive, what would happen to you?"0000000
