Steal my heart novel (Grace James and Caden Shaw)
Chapter 47 Is It Worth Making Ado for a Woman?

Seeing the woman standing in front of him, Mr. Du only commented, "She is too ugly."

Ruby's heart skipped a beat when hearing that.

Perhaps Ruby truly hoped that Grace were the most beautiful woman in the world at that moment.

If Mr. Du disdained Grace's appearance, she would still be the one who would be forced to perform that drowning show.

Ruby secretly squinted at the huge box, where there was filled with water with almost the depth of two meters. She then insisted, "Mr. Du, her poor appearance doesn't mean anything. She could still perform the show perfectly."

Though Grace just arrived, she still figured out what was going on judging from their conversation. She started to notice that the show they mentioned must be something deadly.

Mr. Du stared at Grace with disbelief, "Really, it she right about that?"

Grace shivered a bit. It was the second time she was asked the same question in a day.

She just smiled to avoid any eye contact with Mr. Du, and then she turned to glare at Ruby. Her look put Ruby in a rather awkward situation. Ruby then moved her head away from the gaze of Grace with her burning hot face.

"Come on, that's a nice trade worth one million!" Ruby forced her words, but in a rather timid tone. "Since it is a nice trade, why don't you have a try?" Grace refuted.

Then Grace blinked her eyes and continued, "Two million."

"Your name is Grace, right? How dare you bargain with me?" Mr. Du frowned. It seemed that this woman named Grace was indeed a gold digger as Ruby had mentioned.

"Offer me two million. I will do that show."

"Grace! What are you doing?! One million is a considerable amount. Don't ask for too much!" Ruby was in the fear that once Grace offended Mr. Du, she would still have to be the one suffering the drowning show.

Grace fixed her eyes on Mr. Du firmly, "I need two million to risk my life. And I guarantee that I will do my best to suffice you in the performance, my honorable guest."

When facing the money, Grace was rather sensitive and urgent for more.

"I don't think your life worth that much." Mr. Du snorted.

Grace just replied casually, "Though my life is not worth two million, your happiness gaining during the show is worth that much, Mr. Du."

Mr. Du replied with a smile. In his eyes, this woman was much more interesting than that pure girl named Ruby.

Grace lowered her head and did not even refute.

It was known to all that she loved money. Grace smiled meaningfully and said when she raised her head, "Yes, I love money as the same as I cherish my life. No, exactly speaking, my yearning for money has overtaken how I cherish my life."

"So I will be the most dedicated actress as long as I got paid enough."

"Well, two million dollars. That is the deal."

Ten minutes later.

Grace was thrown into the huge box, while she still insisted on wearing her tight dress.

Her whole body had submerged into the water. The drenched dress became heavier when absorbing water. She felt her being dragged down to the bottom.

Grace could still keep her eyes open at the beginning, seeing those middle-aged men staring at her with joy.

Though Mr. Du looked a decent and refined gentleman, a trace of morbid satisfaction started to reveal on his face.

Finally, Grace could no longer hold her own breath. She exhaled the air in her mouth, but also inhaled a gulp of water. She coughed more and more fiercely as water kept rushing into her lung. She wielded her hands desperately and struggled for air.

She could still notice from the corner of her eyes that those evil men were getting more and more excited with their faces twisting into a sinister smile. Suddenly, a thought of suicide popped out in her mind. 'Grace, why not drown yourself like that? If you die, you don't need to bear the debt of five million anymore, nor don't you need to bear any mental torture...If you die, does it mean that you don't need to you are done with the girl named Leona?'

No! No!

That pure, gentle and innocent girl named Leona would never make Grace pay her back with her life even if she were still alive. She sacrificed herself to save Grace!

'No! I can't give up on my own life for the sake of Leona, for the sake of our dream in Erhai Lake!'

So she managed to muster the only strength left and pounced on the box, "Help!! Ah!"

'Though Grace tried all means to shout out her words. But nothing could be heard but a row of crackling bubbles.

Did they just promise they would get her out after three minutes?

Pain, choke, drowning, all kinds of sufferings had overwhelmed her heart.

Why? Was it enough to stay in for only three minutes?

Perhaps she was really about to die.

Perhaps she started to see illusion in the last minutes in her life.

Why? Why! Why the illusion appearing in front of her was the figure of Caden!

What that evil man!!!

At the moment Grace closed her eyes desperately, she seemed to see that man she refused to see try to talk to her...

What shocked Caden the most was that he had never expected to witness such a breathtaking scene!

His face turned solemn, and he pickup up the wine bottle beside him and threw it hard on that box. But the box still remained intact. Then he shouted at his bodyguards, "Smash it!"

Those bodyguards kept hitting the box with all kinds of tools, but there was no an even single crack on it. Caden turned to shout to Mr. Du, "Say it! How to open it?!"

Mr. Du was getting pale, "The box was sent by Mr. Franklin, and I don't know how to open it either. Believe me, Mr. Shaw. I don't even know you are in charge of the club. Otherwise, I won't have the guts to make such a deadly show in your club."

"I did not even expect to have such an accident happening. Three minutes later, I was about to send my guard to get her out. But I don't know why I fail."

"Mr. Shaw, how about that? I will pay you fifty million for compensation, plus ten million for the family of that woman."

Caden just sneered with his bloodshot eyes. He was totally enraged. Ignoring the begging of Mr. Du, he rushed to the restroom to get a mop and smashed it hard on the box. He tried so hard that even her hands started to bleed.

"Boss, please take a rest. I and Ladd will do this job." Kirk's heart even skipped a beat when he saw the crazy action of Caden. But he was pushed away by Caden.

"Kirk, smash this goddamn thing with me! Ladd, call Humbert here! Saul, call all the men in the club to smash it with us!"

Mr. Du was frightened, "Mr. Shaw, is it worth making so much ado for a woman?"

Hearing that, Caden glared at Mr. Du with his bloodthirsty eyes, "Langston Du, she is my wife! You'd better pray for her. Or I will kill you if she died!"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
