I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden)
Chapter 95 You had repaid what you needed to

After hanging up the phone, Jafar suddenly got off the bed and took up his robe and covered himself.

Mrs. James sleepily asked her husband, "What's the matter?"

"What's the matter?" Jafar furiously said, "Your daughter has gone into prostitution!"

Boom!

It was like thunder suddenly clapped right next to Mrs. James' ears.

She sat up immediately, "What did you say?"

She must have heard wrongly.

"Patrick He called personally. Walter saw that evil woman whoring at the Royal Club!"

Mrs. James couldn't sit still, "No, it can't be. That's impossible! Grace's self-respect is so strong, she can't be doing those things! Did that He Family Child make a mistake?"

"Patrick called personally, what do you think?" Jafar's face was turning blue from anger.

"Where are you going this late in the night?" Mrs. James grabbed onto her husband's wrist tightly, "It's so late already, what can you do?"

Jafar was almost fifty but he had kept himself fit. He was handsome and vigorous but with greying temples. Not only was he dashing and attractive, but his age also added to his mature masculinity. It was undeniable that Jafar was very attractive and definitely irresistible to women when he was younger.

But at this moment, although Jafar had the markings of age and he remained manly and attractive, his handsome face was now gloomy.

He clenched his teeth and swore, "Three years ago that bitch brought tragedy to the James family and we became the greatest joke of Shanghai.

It wasn't easy that these three years passed and the incident faded from the memories. The James family had also recovered and prospered as before. Now that bitch has gone to the Royal Club to become a prostitute! Now the James family had become a joke of Shanghai again. Why couldn't this bitch leave us alone!

What evil had I done to have such a whore as my daughter?

Murder and making false charges to her best friend who she grew up with!

Even if she fell in love with Caden, she couldn't lay her hands on Wallis. Wallis was someone cherished by Caden. That bitch only thought about herself and not the entire family!

Now that she had been released from the prison, not only she hadn't even turned over a new leaf, she even went to the Royal Club to become a prostitute!"

"Jafar, calm down. Perhaps... perhaps she has her difficulties." Mrs. James was full of agony. No matter what Grace was her daughter, "Jafar, just think about it, Grace has always been full of pride, how could she become... become those unclean women?" Mrs. James refused to believe that her own child had gone to the Royal Club to prostitute herself.

"Jafar, we should investigate this matter carefully and can't simply believe whatever that Walter said."

Jafar laughed coldly, "I fully intend to get someone to investigate this matter and see how much that slut has made a fool out of our family this time." After saying, he firmly waved off Mrs. James's hand, turned, and walked towards the study, "Tonight I'll sleep at the study." He said ruthlessly and left Mrs. James alone with a face full of agony.

Jafar went to the study, took out his handphone, and dialed a number, "That bitch had been released from the prison, investigate for me where she had gone and what she had done after she was released. Find out every detail. I want to know it all."

Walter and his men couldn't get in Caden's favor and be 'lectured' and then sent home 'personally' by Kirk and gang.

Kirk couldn't understand, "Boss, since you hate Miss James so much, why are you willing to settle things personally for her?"

The man searched himself deeply and a sense of doubt flashed before him but he couldn't catch the reason for it. He calmly said, "I discipline someone because I don't like them and has nothing to do with that woman."

...

At the hospital.

Humbert gave Grace a final check-up, "Okay, you can leave. Grace, next time don't take chances with your own life."

He didn't intend to say these to Grace but when Humbert saw her hang her head down in silence, he inexplicably remembered his conversation with Caden at the bedroom on the 28th floor of the Royal Club.

Humbert looked at Grace and said, "Since you've been released from the prison, live your life and spend your days properly. You had already repaid what you had to. Though... three years in the prison can't exchange a life, but... you had lost a lot as well." The girl who was sulking quietly slowly raised her head, "Have I repaid... what I need to repay?"

He wasn't sure if he was mistaken but Humbert seemed to hear a hint of sarcasm.

He lowered his head to look at Grace and doubtfully and sincerely asked, "You... what do you mean?"

She smirked so slightly that it couldn't be seen, Grace calmly lowered her head, "Nothing."

Humbert was even more puzzled... could it be that he heard her wrongly?

"Next time... obey Caden a little more. You'll suffer less if you do."

Grace laughed, noncommittally.

Everyone thought that she was guilty, everyone thought that she was a murderer, everyone thought that those three years were to atone for her sins... but who will tell her what was she guilty of? What crimes did she atone for?"

All thought that Wallis died for no rhyme or reason and all thought that Grace was guilty... Everyone said that she was evil... but who among them had seen her kill, and that she caused the death of Wallis?

She felt tired, her entire body was absolutely exhausted.

Recently... she seemed to tire extremely easily. Grace raised her hand and touched her eyebrow, trying to ease her exhaustion.

"Additionally, ... actually, Caden rather ... " rather cared about you.. the words were on his tongue but Humbert felt that it was inappropriate and changed the subject, "Never mind, just take care of yourself."

After she heard that, Grace forcibly dug her fingers into her palm and almost tear into her skin... suddenly Grace lifted her head, stared at Humbert, and asked, "Humbert, if I were to tell you that Wallis' death had nothing to do with me and I didn't plot against Wallis three years ago, will you believe me?"

"If I were to say, what happened three years ago was Wallis' own fault and she deserved it, will you believe me?"

"If I were to say, from the beginning to the end, Wallis had been confiding in me that she doesn't like Caden, will you believe me?"

"if I were to say, Wallis was the most despicable and deserved to be in hell, will you believe me?"

Her voice was coarse and unpleasant and yet she was immeasurably eager as if she wanted to convince Humbert and obtain Humbert's trust. Humbert looked directly at her. Her eyes were too clean, too determined, and can make anyone believe her!

But!

"Grace, I thought that the three years of prison life had given you a huge blow and you became jittery and without a shred of dignity. But I never expected that after three years and you were released from the prison, you became this repulsive!... No, perhaps this was your true personality!

Yes! This was your true personality. You had successfully lied to so many people after all these years!

If this wasn't your true colors, how could you have done those incomparably evil things!

Grace, I take back my compassion towards you."

Humbert's look at Grace was indifferent, and unlike the expression toward a 'person'. After finishing he turned and walked out the door.

He grabbed the door handle and firmly opened the door. Humbert's eyes were wide open!

Outside the door, a wave of chill spread over.
