I've Been There Before

Chapter 48 Boss, Stop!

Caden still kept smashing the huge box while rebuking Mr. Du. But the huge box still remained intact.

Caden smashed the box with mop, acting like a monster.

Five kilometers away from the Royal Club, a sport car galloped on the highway. With the window wide open, the conversation in the car could not be clearly captured.

But it could be faintly heard that the chauffeur was talking to the one sitting on the back seat, “Mr. Franklin, are you sure it gonna be alright? That huge box could barely be smashed, and you even provide them with another key. It will be a deadly show!”

Franklin only responded with a sneer, “Does it have anything to do with me? It was just a simply mistake of ‘bring a wrong key’. It was Langston who insisted on that freak show. He should be the one to be blamed.”

The chauffeur kept his mouth shut, with his hand slightly shivering.

“Well, the box could still be smashed if it is under heavy attack. Just rest assured. No one will die because of that. I did this just to teach her a lesson.”

Hearing that, the chauffeur chilled all of a sudden, ‘Come on, Mr. Franklin, you call it just a lesson? Why not just admit that you did this because you hate that waitress.’

But the chauffeur could not hold back the words in his heart.

Meanwhile, Caden still tried all means to break the box. Seeing the woman drowning in front of him, he recalled that she called out his name before she completely lost consciousness.

“Mr. Caden...”

His bodyguards dared not say a word but keep hitting the box hard. Even Langston and his companions, those Japanese businessmen, started to hit the box hard by all means.

Ruby flopped on the ground in fluster. She stared at the woman drowning in the box in horror, with her extremities trembling.

Judging from the action that Mr. Du pardoned for mercy, she could tell that this man named Mr. Caden must be an exceedingly powerful, who even owed to the Royal Club.

Ruby prayed in her heart that Grace could survive, or she would be seriously punished. However, on the other hand, she still evilly hoped that Grace could still drown herself. Once she survived, Ruby might end up miserably under the retaliation of Mr. Caden.

Crack!

The box cracked a bit as Caden wielded the mop to hit it again heavily, and the mop was also broke in half.

Caden threw away the broke mop and hit the box with his bare fist for three times out of anxiety.

“Boss!” His guards exclaimed out of nervousness, “You hand!”

Kirk had never been so nervous before.

He was quite aware that he had to maintain Caden safe and sound.

His boss, Caden Shaw was deemed to be the master of the Shaw family. And he was born to bear the prosperity of the family.

Kirk had been serving as the guard and servant for the Shaw family for generation to generation, so he had to spare no effort to keep Caden safe, “Boss, stop! You will smash your fist!”

“Back off.” Caden pushed Kirk away, and he hit the box with another fist without hesitation.

“Boss!”

As Kirk exclaimed, he saw the huge box suddenly collapsed all of a sudden.

As the box collapsed, the water flooded into the private room. In a blink, the water even crashed the crystal table in the room. Mr. Du and his companions all stumbled because of water. They even tumbled all over the ground before they managed to stabilize themselves by grabbing the sofa.

Ruby was even choked by water. She was almost suffocated to death.

“Help!” Ruby called for help fiercely. But no one turned to give her a hand.

Caden had never been so flustered since he was born. Even at the day he knew about the death of Wallis, he still remained cold and lofty as a king. Though he was once enraged, he could always maintained composure elegantly, looking down on others from the top.

But Caden acted the same as those normal guys at this moment. Though he dressed in a tailor-made suit worth more than tens of thousands of dollars, he looked quite uncollected with his body drenched all over.

Though his leather shoes also worth almost the same as his suit, it looked like those worn shoes soaked in water.

He was no more elegant, domineering and decent as a dignified gentleman, but more like a mundane man.

Krik was stunned when he saw Caden held Grace in his arms carefully. He kept silent. It was a bit surprising that his boss condescended to save a woman who he used to hate the most.

However, what about Wallis Venus, that chaste and pure girl who always wore a charming smile on her face.

Caden put Grace on sofa, when he noticed Grace seemed to lose her breath.

The next second, Caden turned around and shouted, “All of you, turn your back to me!” But the people present failed to catch his words. Caden frowned and continued with anger, “I told you to turn around! Goddamn it! Fuck! Kirk, turn them around!”

It was then those people noticed what Caden was saying and then they turned their back to him.

Some ambiguous sound could be heard from behind, but they did not dare to look back.

Obviously, Caden was trying to avoid others seeing Grace’s fair skin, not even a tiny part of her body.

Caden stripped her off and started to give her artificial respiration.

He was so nervous and there was only a few words lingering in his mind, ‘Grace, stay alive!’

Time crawled forward bit by bit.

Then, Grace started to cough fiercely. And she vomited water from her throat, and then kept coughing again. She felt her eyes sore and blurred. She could not see the man in front of her clearly, but she tried to utter while moving her lips.

Caden was so excited to see her awake. He asked with anxiety, “What do you want to say?”

Grace managed to utter a few words with her pale lips, “Mr. Du...money... give me money.”

Suddenly, the air seemed to be frozen.

The excitement in Caden’s eyes disappeared in an instant. He said in a cold tone as usual, “How much?”

“You have promised two million...” Grace still failed to capture a clear image of the man in front of her, who she felt a bit familiar with, but she couldn’t tell from her blurred eyes.

Caden’s eyes darkened, with his right hand hanging beside his body, from which there dropped beads of blood, “Great. That’s great! I will give you the two million you want.”
