Steal my heart novel (Grace James and Caden Shaw)
Chapter 153 I Want You To Investigate What Happened Three Years Ago

Caden carried Grace all the way. Although he had a great figure, he looked rather lonely.

As Caden placed her in the passenger seat, Ladd ran over to drive for Caden. But the latter swung his slender hand without saying a word. Ladd stopped and stepped aside.

The man walked to the other side of the car, opened the driver seat's door, and sat in.

Leaning back on the seat, he remained motionless for a long time. The car still stayed in place. After a long while, he held the steering wheel, started the engine, and stepped on the gas. For a moment, the car rumbled. When the car sounded, Caden's thin lips opened. He said a word, which was covered by the rumble. Grace's name could be heard vaguely.

Grace turned her head and felt puzzled. "What did you say?" The sound of the engine was too loud, which almost covered the man's deep voice.

The corner of Caden's lips moved a little. "I said, I will drive you to Wei'ai Foundation."

Grace was stunned for a moment, then nodded, looked out of the window again.

The man in the driver's seat tightened the steering wheel harder with his slender fingers. Only he knew it. What he said just now was, "Grace, I am jealous." Yes, he was jealous of Franklin!

He was devoured by envy, which was about to drive him crazy!

This woman once regarded Franklin as her light... But it was Caden who once occupied the most important position in this woman's heart. Grace showed Franklin all her gentleness... If she didn't treat Franklin in that way, why should she pull Franklin out of hopelessness now? Finally, she walked towards him... But Caden wasn't happy at all.

He wasn't pleased because it had nothing to do with love when Grace walked towards him.

In Grace's eyes, did he really become an indelible but extremely disgusting existence?

He didn't believe it and wouldn't accept it.

What he believed was that if he could make her fall in love with him once, then she could fall in love with him one more time...

As they arrived at the destination, Grace got out of the car. When she turned around, Caden also got out of the car.

"I can do it alone."

She tactfully refused his company.

"I'll follow."

Grace didn't speak.

They remained silent all the way into Wei'ai Foundation. The place was quiet right now. Under those astonished gazes, Grace straightened her back and walked into the elevator. "Vivian, hold an interim executive meeting."

When Vivian received Grace's call, she was taken aback. She didn't expect that Grace would be able to stand in front of the public so quickly on this critical moment. She had adjusted herself and returned to the battlefield of Wei'ai Foundation.

After being stunned for a second, Vivian responded quickly, "Yes, Ms. James."

Vivian became confident again. It was true that the video was a huge blow to her and others. Grace in the video was so humble that she looked as if she had lost her dignity.

They were all the people who worked for Grace. They had never seen such a gorgeous woman degrade herself.

Naturally, it was unacceptable for them.

Moreover, they were Grace's trusted subordinates. Grace escaped, which meant that their leader escaped. Therefore, they had to behave themselves cautiously in the company.

There were many forces in Wei'ai Foundation. Under such a great pressure, they were bound to fight against the old forces.

When Grace escaped, they had more things to carry.

Some people were disappionted, which some of them had regretted it... It was not terrible to be got the goods on them. The most terrible thing was that their boss fled without a fight! Their situation was more embarrassing than before.

Under pressure, Vivian hoped that the powerful woman could adjust herself as quickly as possible, get back on her feet again, and return to this battlefield. At that time, they would accept it even if they lost. At least, their boss was not a coward or a deserter!

But Vivian didn't expect that her boss would return to the battlefield at such a fast speed.

At the moment of seeing Grace with her own eyes, Vivian was so excited. "Boss, we are already!"

Vivian was being emotional. When the elevator door opened, she could only see Grace in her eyes, but completely ignored Caden who was next to Grace and always drew all the attention. Grace nodded and walked straight to the conference room.

As soon as she opened the door, she quickly glanced around. The conference table wasn't full, but she naturally knew how many executives there were in Wei'ai Foundation. She was aware of the people who didn't come by taking a glimpse.

She walked to the chairman's seat calmly, "Vivian, shall we start?"

"We have one minute left."

Grace nodded.

Grace sat in the seat, closed her eyes and had a rest.

The other people in the conference room looked at her like this, not knowing what happened. They were looking at each other and saw incomprehension and confusion from each other's eyes.

After about a minute, the woman in the center of the conference table suddenly opened her eyes, raised her head, and glanced at Vivian. Vivian understood, raised her wrist to look at her watch, and nodded to Grace. "Time is up."

"I'm sorry, I'm holding an intrim executive meeting today." She looked aloof and swept around the crowd. "For the people who are here today, I won't blame you for what wicked plans you have or what you have done in the past." She said, looking at Vivian, "Now notify the Personnel Department. All executives who didn't show up today and didn't ask for leave in advance will be fired."

She was talking about "fire", not "dismiss". The two words seemed to have the same meaning, but there was a huge difference.

The bigger the company, the more possibility they would do it.

Vivian was stunned, but when Grace's expressionless face without hesitation, she understood. "Yes, Ms. James."

She gave a huge blow from the beginning of the meeting. As expected, those executives in the conference room started to behave themselves and didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore. Even those who wanted to criticize Grace would shut up when they saw the man behind Grace.

"I know you have all watched that video. I'm here to remind everyone, whether you like me or not, and what you think of me, Wei'ai Foundation belongs to me, Grace James. So, unless you are not working in Wei'ai Foundation anymore, you have to hold back your thoughts about me and work hard whether you like it or not."

At this moment, with coldness in her eyes, Grace swept everyone around the conference table without backing down.

Her straight back was already sweaty. If she hadn't been sitting on a chair, her feet would have been soft, but at this moment, she couldn't retreat. She couldn't be weak. She had to act vigorously and turned it to her advantage.

Caden showed pride in his narrow dark eyes, his heart pumping... He saw Grace become the woman she used to be. He had never thought that he missed that woman's charm so much!

He never thought that one day, his heartbeat would be racing because of this aggressive woman!

That night, in Gloria's office of Royal Club, She had just finished reporting when the door was knocked.

"Come in."

Kirk pushed in, "Boss, are you looking for me?"

"I want you to investigate whether there is something hidden behind the incident three years ago."

"Three years ago...Ms. Venus's incident?" Kirk exclaimed incredulously, "Isn't the matter already settled?" What else to check?!☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
