Steal my heart novel (Grace James and Caden Shaw)
Chapter 31: Her Secret

'Humbert, you really dared to say it!'

Even Ingemar who was typically undependable, couldn't resist and shivered while looking at Humbert.

"Humbert, 'I see that there isn't anything that concerns us now. I'm hungry, let's go eat something"

'Let's go let's go, buddy, now that Caden hadn't lost his temper, let's quickly go... Ingemar said anxiously to himself:

That was true, how could Humbert not know Caden's resentment for Grace.

Grace caused the death of Wallis and at that time Grace was the eldest daughter of the James family. Caden wanted her imprisoned and she was. Now that she was out, he will definitely not let her off.

A fool could see how much Caden hated Grace.

How could a typically scheming Humbert say such a foolish thing?

Not to be swayed, Humbert smirked and joked, "Caden, do you wish to know? he said as he pointed to the woman on the bed,

"Do you wish to know, this woman's secret?"

He was a doctor and a rather renowned doctor.

If just now during the checkup he didn't replace something unusual, then he would have wasted his time all these years.

The man beside the bed squinted and looked towards Humbert and said, "NO!"

This woman's secret? ... Even if this woman had a secret, he should be the first to know and not Humbert!

He had a raging fire within him. Apart from him, who else was that damn woman close to?

"If you're hungry, go and eat"

The order was clearly given for him to leave, Humbert blinked, "Hey, Mr. Shaw, have you no shame? How could you drive a person off after using him?'

"Let's go, Humbert." Ingemar quickly dragged Humbert and pulled him to the lift.

"What are you doing?" Humbert glared at Ingemar in the lift, "Leave if you want to, why did you drag me out?"

Hearing this from Humbert, Ingemar was upset, "Hey, Mr. White, don't fail to see an act of kindness! 'I pulled you away for your own good. Are you crazy to say those in front of Caden? What you said was as good as saying that Caden has intentions for Grace! Are you sick in the head? Caden huh! Grace huh! The resentment between these two isn't that simple, that was Wallis' life! Don't you know how much Caden hates Grace? He wanted her imprisoned and she was. No one in the James family dared to do anything. Now look at Grace, does she have the pride like three years ago? Those years when she was the eldest daughter of the James family, she was the pride of Shanghai especially her self-confidence and arrogance. All the sons of elite families in Shanghai will do anything for a chance to speak with the eldest daughter of the James family... The Grace of the past was unparalleled. 'I have to say something from my heart. Wallis did eye on Caden's fame. Though Wallis has Caden's protection, she can't match Grace's aura in her presence. But just take a look at the person who was laying there on the bed, was she Grace? When you first looked at her, weren't you surprised? How could Caden be interested in her if he tortured her to this extent?"

Humbert spit out a breath and stared at him... "What the hell do you know?"

"What the fuck, can't you say properly without swearing?

"Saying that you know nothing is already praising you. Okay now, supper is on me."

"You...okay! 'I want to eat the sweet and sour pork done by your mom"

"Piss off, it's so late in the night and you want my mother to cook for you? We'll have it at the roadside stalls. Want to eat or not is up to you"

"Eat!"

Of course, these two princes can't be eating at the roadside.

28 Floor of the Royal Club

Caden stood beside the bed and squinted at the woman on the bed... secrets?

What was this woman's secret...?

Why did Humbert know and not him?

He took his phone to call his subordinates.

"Boss' Kirk's voice came from his phone.

"Regarding the .."

As Caden was just saying.

The person on the bed, "Leona, don't go.."

The person holding onto the phone tightened his grip.

"Leona, we'll go together, together...

His dark eyes shrunk!

Kirk's voice came through the phone, "Boss?"

The man's face became even colder and he looked at the woman. With a chilling voice, he said emotionlessly into the phone,

"It's alright" And then he ended the call.

The phone was tossed aside and his slim body bent down.

Looking at her, a strong arm reached out and grabbed her chin.

Grace was having a nightmare and it suddenly hurt. It was so painful that she woke up and opened her eyes only to see a handsome face in front of her but she didn't know what was happening. That voice was like a nightmare that never went away. He crudely demanded, "Open your eyes and look clearly! Who am I?"

Caden's veins on his forehead started to show!

Leon?

Leon??

Were they so close?

When did she get to know Leon?

"Pain.." Grace frowned.

"Pain?" The cold voice was coupled with intense anger. He suddenly laughs, "Pain? Grace, believe me, 'I will let you experience even more pain!"

"Look clearly! You are laying on Caden's, my bed, and you are calling out someone else's name! Leon? Are you so close to him?" Grace's face turned white.

How did he know about Leona?

Her heart ached... Leona was a secret she doesn't want anyone to know!

It was her debt!

A debt that can never be repaid!

She looked at Caden with an anxious and worried expression. The other party was furious and the fire within him was raging! "Grace, get a hold of yourself. Remember clearly who you are!"

Grace's face was drained of all blood!

Caden didn't scold her and not a word of insult but these words were more depressing than words of insults. It caused her to gasp for air.

He was reminding her of her 'wrongdoings' and now she was a criminal.

To him, what was left behind from that love was fear.

She drooped her eyes and the eyelashes covered her eyes and blocked out the outside world, just like she shut out the world from her heart... Caden, 'I know, I'm just a number "926".

"I'm sorry, Mr. Shaw'

She said it very slowly, "Mr. Shaw, 'I always remember that I'm just criminal number "926', 'I am nothing."

She didn't need his pity and neither his understanding. Although she didn't know what wrong she had done, she said, "Mr. Shaw, if I've done anything wrong, you can punish me as you wish. 'I just beg you to let me leave the Royal Club alive" He still hated her.

But she needed to live, she needed freedom, she must... leave!

Slowly, she pushed away his hand which was grabbing her chin. She propped herself up and got down the bed and in the man's surprise, she knelt down. Her pride... was a distant memory.
