I've Been There Before Chapter 84 Are You Doing Well, Grace?

As Cayne left, he grabbed the only humane personality of Grace away.

He actually kept leaving his own mark on Grace’s wound every time he kissed on it.

Cayne was a womanizer, so he clearly knew what kind of imperceptable impact he brought to Grace by
kissing on her wound, though Grace had no idea about it.

And the point was that no matter how awful the noodles cooked by Grace was, Cayne still manage to
finish them all no matter how spicy it tasted, though Cayne himself possessed mere endurance for
pungency.

So he won the hunting game and totally captured Grace’s heart.

The next day, Gloria made Grace to her office, “Did you get the money?”

Grace shook her head.

Gloria frowned, “Didn’t you ask for it?”

Grace still shook her head.

Gloria noticed what was happening, “Well, it hard for us to read through those rich guys’ mind. Grace,
did you regret?” Then she continued, “Grace, I got a bad news. Mr. Caden told me that he would be
late for a while. But plus a good news, you are one more hour to get the rest of the money to meet his
request.”

Gloria watched her phone to check the time, “Grace, though I have five hundred thousand dollars, I am
afraid I can’t offer you the money.” Gloria spoke frankly. She cached the amount of money for the sake
of Grace, and that was the last thing she could do for Grace.



“Thank you, Gloria. I appreciated you’ve helped me a lot. I know about Mr. Caden. So I would do the
same thing if I were you.”

Then Grace took the elevator to go upstairs. When the door opened, she was shocked to see the
person standing in front of her.

That one also paused in shock as he saw Grace.

“Grace…” That man called her gently.

Grace’s face turned ghastly pale, “Sir, I am afraid you are mistaking me for someone else. I am not
Grace.”

Then she tried to close the door by pressing the bottom immediately.

“Wait!” The man stepped into the elevator, and he held Grace’s hands, “Grace, you must be Grace
James! I am not mistaking.”

“Sorry, my name is not Grace James.”

“Grace, I know you are Grace exactly. I am so sorry for doing that to you as your elder brother.”

The word “brother” jarred her heard a bit.

“Sorry, I don’t know you, sir.”

“Grace, how are you doing? I miss you so much. I know I am a coward and I drowned myself in guilt
every single day. Did anyone bully you in that pri…in that place. Why you look so haggard?”

That man grabbed Grace’s shoulder, “Let me see you if you are…”



“Shut up! I told you to shut up!” Grace could not control herself any longer. How dared his so-called
brother say such caring words for her?

“You said you miss me and you are guilty. Have you, and those in the James family, ever come to see
me in the prison during that three years?”

“Can’t you tell how I am?”

How dared he even show concern that if she was bullied in the prison? How dared he?

It was so goddamn ridiculous.

“I am so sorry, Grace.”

His apology was the last thing Grace wanted.

“Even if anyone of you, the James family, has ever come me see me in prison, I would be grateful. Mr.
Payne James, you don’t need to say sorry to me. Please stay away from me and don’t stand in the way
to disturb me from making money.”

“Making money? What?” Her brother, Payne James was quite confused upon hearing that.

Grace turned to look at Payne with a sneer, “Of course I am making money from men. The money that I
could earn by satisfying those men in the Royal Club.”

Payne felt like seeing a stranger. He shouted out of shame and anger, “Grace! How could you do that!
How could you trade your body with money? How could you do such filthy things?”

“You are lying right? Grace, tell me! I know a proud girl like you, who even dared to stay proud in front
of Caden, will never do those prostitute’s jobs just for money!”



Grace gritted as if she was about to break her own teeth. Suddenly, she seemed to recall something.
She closed her eyes to keep herself calm. Then she gulped back her anger and hatred when she
opened her eyes again, “For the sake that we share the same blood, lend me five hundred thousand
dollars.”

“What? What are you going to do with that sum of money?”

“Because I own Caden a debt,” Grace continued calmly, “Mr. Payne James, I think it is not a big deal
for you to afford five hundred thousand, right? Now I am badly in need. Just do me a favor for the sake
of our blood.”

However, Payne’s face turned dark as he heard the name of Caden, “Sorry…I can’t.”

Grace felt her ears buzzing. She stared at her brother in disbelief, “What did you just say?”

“Mr. Caden once warned us that either we abandoned Grace James or we sacrificed the whole family.”
Payne sighed in guilt, “Grace, I am so sorry. Our parents are too old to afford such a blow.”

Grace stared at Payne blankly, with her brain overwhelmed with Payne’s words. After quite a while, she
lowered her head helplessly, “Well, thank you, Mr. Payne James.”

“Grace, please don’t. I could do nothing about it either. Please forgive me.” While speaking, he took out
a stake of money from his wallet and handed to Grace, which seemed to be more than ten thousand
dollars, “Grace, keep it. You can buy anything you want with it.”

Grace stood still and did not take the money.

Payne grabbed her hands and pressed the money on her palm, “Grace, don’t be willful. Just take my
favor.”

Grace felt her heart aching fiercely.



“Brother, though I am a bitch. But I will never accept the money from the James family!” She replied
with a hoarse voice and threw the stack of money in the air. The rain of money dropped in the elevator.

“And this is the last time I address you as my brother.”
