I've Been There Before Chapter 145 Rectification

Caden Shaw’s behavior didn’t comfort Grace James at all, but on the contrary, Grace almost went mad
for the man’s abnormal tenderness.

He forced her into the corner, step by step, and finally, she had no route to retreat.

Grace didn’t know what Caden wanted to do. She preferred to endure his bullying rather than accept
this man’s sudden gentleness!

It was too horrible!

It even scared Grace much more than his decision to send her into prison!

“Mr. Shaw? Why?” Finally, Grace couldn’t help asking. She closed her eyes suddenly, and instantly
opened again.

Why did this man suddenly become so gentle? Could Caden Shaw also be tender?

Yes, he could!

But she was never the one who he showed his gentleness to!

Caden took the hair dryer away, and helped Grace to tuck her hair behind her ears. Then he said still
indifferently. “Have a good rest.”

He turned around. Grace intended to pull his clothes, but in the end, she stopped her hand in the air.

Grace dared not to break the peaceful facade.

“Oh, by the way, you’d better think carefully about your duty to take over Wei’ai.” As Caden walked
close to the door, he turned back and said this meaningfully.



Then he turned around again and left.

It was one more sleepless night for Grace.

However, she got up early the next morning, put on the suit and well dressed up herself. As she
dressed her hair and touched her forehead, she was still cowardly to roll up her bangs and reveal her
horrible scar.

Grace looked at herself in the mirror, with examining eyes. ‘Grace, are you really brave enough to
stand in front of everyone in public again?’ She asked herself like this.

However, she had no way back.

She couldn’t let Leona down, as well as her grandpa.

The only thing she could do...was to face the challenges.

Grace could realize how cheerless Wei’ai now was. She would be in grave regret if she didn’t save
Wei’ai.

The sunlight shined on Grace’s face as she opened the door and went out of the bathroom. She
squinted her eyes, and saw the man sleeping on the sofa had woken up already.

Caden’s dark eyes scanned Grace up and down. Then he took the suit on the sofa and said coolly.
“Let’s go.”

Grace followed him in silence. The driver in the car was waiting for them downstairs. Grace and Caden
got into the car and sat on the backseats.

The driver in the front handed them two breakfasts. Caden took one to Grace. “Take it.”

But Grace didn’t take it.



“You can’t win the war in hunger.” The man said. “The difficulties you’re gonna face are beyond your
imagination.”

Grace knew Caden’s meaning. Three years was long enough for the James family to move Grace’s
followers from the critical position in Wei’ai.

That was to say, though Grace finally got the right to lead Wei’ai again, her position would be left
hanging in the air.

Grace even had no idea about the methods to deal with it.

She took the breakfast eventually, and ate it quietly. She was not hungry, but just as Caden said, she
had to be energetic to start the war.

The car stopped at the gate of a building, on which there was a signboard with a name carved on it,
“Wei’ai Foundation”, reminding Grace of the boom of its founding.

Now, it looked bleak.

“Ladd, protect her well.” Ladd Shaw took the order and got off the car. Then Caden moved to the
driver’s seat.

Caden casually glanced at the woman beside the car. He smiled. “Grace, I’m not the boss of Wei’ai, so
don’t even think about my help.”

Grace’s breath paused for a while, and then she clenched her fists... She almost forgot that Caden was
not her solid backing.

“Ladd, follow her closely, and protect her from any fighting.”

“Yes, boss.”



Caden gave Grace a deep look, and then started the car to leave.

Grace James stood at the gate. She took a deep breath, plucked up her spirits, and then walked into
the building.

“Do you have an appointment?” The receptionist was a woman of twenty-five or six years old, with a
coquettish makeup, filing her nails as Grace came to her.

Such a scene easily irritated Grace... She knew there was chaos in Wei’ai, but the degree of the chaos
was still out of her expectation.

It was the working hour now. As the receptionist, the first appearance of the organization, this woman
even casually filed her nails in front of the guest, and asked the guest if there was an appointment in
such an impolite tone.

The lament and the anger had filled Grace’s mind all of a sudden!

She lamented that her grandpa and her efforts went to be in vain, and she was angry at that her family
members, who kept the same blood as hers, were even willing to spoil her efforts like this!

Grace’s complexion changed a lot. She cheered herself up and said gravely. “First, you’re not allowed
to do anything not related to the work; Second, you should be polite to the guest, as the receptionist,
the first appearance of the organization; Third, your clothes and makeup are not suitable for the culture
of Wei’ai. You’re fired now.”

The receptionist looked at Grace up and down, she teasing. “Who are you? Do you think you’re the
boss of Wei’ai? How dare you bark so loudly here?”

Three years passing already, though Grace was in fear now, she pinched her palm with her nails and
kept encouraging herself in her heart. “Don’t be scared! You can do that, and you must do that! You



have to deal with this mess as fast as possible. You have no way back!”

Restraining the fear to meet strangers, Grace said to the receptionist coldly.

“Unfortunately, I’m just the boss of Wei’ai.” She took out the contract that proved her identity as she
spoke. “Can you see this clearly? Do you still think I have no right to fire you?”

The receptionist’s face turned pale. As she intended to beg, Grace stopped her. “Begging is even
useless. You’re the first one being fired today, but you won’t be the last one.” Grace’s tone revealed the
graveness of her decision.

Judging from Grace’s tone and imposing posture, no one could guess that she was struggling to fight
with the fear in her heart.

“Ladd,” Grace said to Ladd, “ask this lady to leave this building.”

Though the receptionist was unconvinced, she had to endure her anger as she saw the strong man,
Ladd. She walked toward the gate while cursing in a low voice. “Hey! Boss? The foundation is also an
empty shell! I even don’t want to waste my life here.”

Grace went to stop her. “Wei’ai is not an empty shell, and I won’t let it become an empty shell!” She
would try her best to keep her grandpa and her efforts from being an “empty shell”!

Grace selected a cleaner who was passing by her. “Madam, do you know how should you behave to
treat the guests?”

The cleaner was stunned. “I’m not well-educated, so I don’t know such a matter. I only know that I
should be polite to my guests.”

Grace nodded. “Now, you’re the receptionist of Wei’ai. Remember to be polite to our guests.”



The former receptionist shouted, as if she had suffered great humiliation. “You even appoint an
uneducated cleaner to replace an intellect graduating from a famous university! You must be mad!”

Grace snorted coldly. “I prefer to trust a cleaner, so that’s just the warning for you to think about what
mistake you’ve made!”
