I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden)
Chapter 263: Disgust

"What... will happen to me?"

Nora was terrified. Grace's expression was extremely strange, which made her heartbeat rapid.

"If grandfather is still alive," Grace was calm, "you will be killed."

Seeing a flicker of suspicion flashed across her eyes, Grace just stared at her soberly. "No need to doubt it. What you think is right."

Natural calamities or man-made misfortunes... Everything you can think of.

And those you didn't expect.

"Car accident, a fall from a tall building, drowning, disease, fire, kidnapping..."

"Stop!" before Grace could finish her words, Nora cried out in fright with her face pale, "Stop talking!" She stared at Grace in horror. What a scary woman!

She was actually able to speak out these terrible things emotionlessly.

They were all about "killing"!

Sure enough, Grace was not ordinary. She was a murderer!

She had always known that Jafar's daughter had been in prison for some reason. And she had even laughed at her with her friends. She only regarded Grace as their laughingstock. But now, she was actually in the face of a murderer!

She was somewhat regretful. She had just hurried here and didn't make full preparation.

She carefully studied Grace who could talk about killings so calmly, worrying she would really make it.

However, as she saw her son who was standing beside her from the corner of her eyes, she restrained her fear. "I ... I can do anything as long as Ollie can be recognized and return to the James family."

Actually, Jafar still had some money. She had been with Jafar since she was twenty years old. In the past dozen or so years, he had never treated her shabbily. Compared with Mrs. James, she only lacked the status and even got more from Jafar.

Naturally, over the past decade or so, she had clearly realized that for the upper-class, money was not such an important thing.

And Jafar had nothing expect money.

Not to mention that the money he had wasn't much.

How could Jafar's assets be comparable to a large enterprise like the James Group?

Only by returning to the James family would Ollie be promising.

"Oh... so you shouldn't come to see me.

You should go replace Mrs. James. Only after she agrees will your son be recognized as a member of the James family.

Ms. Dyer, according to my ID card, my surname is Shaw, not James."

Unwilling to give up, Nora wanted to say something more. Taking a glance at her, Grace directly stopped her. "Well," she looked at Ollie,

"Payne has leukemia and needs a bone marrow transplant. Being the son of Mr. James, Ollie surely has ties of blood with Payne. Why don't you go replace Mrs. James and have a check-up? If their bone marrow matches, I think Mrs. James might agree to your request." As she casually spoke, Nora who was pleading felt shocked. Her ears hummed and her hands couldn't help but shake while holing Ollie's hand.

She would never think that Grace actually wanted to hurt Ollie!

"How can that be? Ollie is only ten years old. How could such a young child donate his bone marrow? He will be done if he does!" Nora anxiously rejected, "Mrs. Shaw, didn't your bone marrow happen to match?"

A cold light flashed across Caden's eyes. He glared at Nora with his gaze as sharp as blade, "Who told you?" He did not believe that it was her own plan as she said it without hesitation. He looked down with his eyelashes drooped. After thinking for a while, he coldly stared at Nora.

"Go back and tell Jafar. If he dares to hurt my wife, I will take his kidneys to feed the fish!"

How dare they want to take advantage of Grace!

Caden narrowed his eyes and gazed at Ollie, who was tall and thin and was standing at the side.

Nora's heart skipped a beat as she hurried to hide him behind her. She lowered her head and thought for a moment.

"Jafar... he doesn't dare to do so." Gritting her teeth, Nora seemed to have made a difficult decision. She looked at Grace in embarrassment, "Mrs. Shaw, I may take Ollie to have a check-up first. If his bone marrow really matches Payne's and Mrs. James agrees to recognize him, I will sign on the agreement of bone marrow donation. But you should promise me that no matter what the check-up result is, Ollie..."

Grace smiled faintly, "Since you have the intention to save Payne, of course I will intercede for you with Mrs. James."

Nora's eyes instantly lit up. She cried out in surprise, "Mrs. Shaw, you can't go back on your word!"

Grace just smiled as she watched them leave happily.

After Nora left the Shaw's with her son.

"Mom, I don't want to donate my bone marrow."

Ollie looked extremely reluctant.

"Who asked you to donate?" Nora said with a sullen face, "Just put on a show. Sacrifice my son's health for the son of that ugly old woman? They're just daydreaming." "But...."

"But what? Just ask your father to replace someone to make a fake identification. Your father didn't want you to suffer, so he went to Erhai Lake to look for Grace, who had been in prison. Or why didn't he go replace that ugly woman instead of going so far away?" "Jafar said that his daughter was fierce to strangers and was actually very soft-hearted while facing her families. Mrs. James had treated her like this, but as long as she implored her, no matter how strong her grudge was, she wouldn't bear to leave that ugly woman and her son alone.

You see, she has been back to S City, hasn't she?"

Nora returned home.

Jafar was reading the newspaper.

"I went to the Shaw's." Nora had concealed it from Jafar about going to replace Grace, but now, as she wanted him to make a fake identification. Nora told him the truth after thinking for a long while. Jafar paused for a moment before turning the newspaper. "For what did you go to the Shaw's?"

Nora changed into her housecoat, which made her looked sexy and energetic as a young woman. She said in a wronged tone, "I'm going to beg your daughter to help recognize Ollie as a James." Jafar's face suddenly turned dark, but his voice was gentle, "So what? I have been cold-shouldered since I'm getting old and useless?"

Nora knew him well. The older he got, the weirder he became. Especially when he was not so vigorous, he became more and more demented while having sex.

As she had suffered it, she must make her son be recognized as a James. Otherwise, why would she stay with an old man?

Though dissatisfied, she stood behind Jafar and gently kneaded his shoulders. She said in an extremely wronged tone, making him couldn't help but feel sorry for her, "You know that I myself don't want anything. It's just because that a few days ago, Mrs. James went to Ollie's school to make such a fuss and made him so ashamed in front of his classmates. I don't want anything of the James family. All I want is Ollie can be recognized and be able to live as a dignified and imposing child."

While saying with a wronged look, Nora peeked at Jafar. Sure enough, the old man hesitated. Seeing the time came, Nora played her trump card. She softly leaned against him just like a butterfly with her slender arms wrapping around his neck. "Honey~" As getting old and useless, Jafar liked it best.

Seeing him relieved and smiling, Nora sneered with a glimmer of disgust in her eyes. The damn old man! He was actually a freak!☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
