I've Been There Before Chapter 167 The Truth of Three Years Ago

“Kern Lo!” The old butler lowered his voice, shouted, “I guess you don’t want Mr. Shaw to know that, do
you?”

The old butler’s eyes were pale yellow, yet it possessed the viciousness that other people did not have
at such an old age.

The person on the other side of the phone went silent for a second. The old butler’s tightly twisted
eyebrows relaxed a bit…It was good that this person felt scared.

“Sam, did anyone ever tell you that,” Kern’s derisive voice came from the other end of the phone:
“You’re really shameless?”

The old butler clenched his teeth as he heard the words.

But he insisted, “The death of that b*itch benefits both of us. No matter what happened in the past, it’s
done since she’s dead.”

What he meant was very obvious…nobody would speak for a dead person.

“Mr. Lo, it’s good for you to kill that b*itch too. ” The old man’s voice suddenly turned polite to call the
person in the phone to be “Mr. Lo” while it was still threatening in the last second.

A sneer spread from the phone, “You did learn to be cruel after working for the Shaw family. Sam, I
know what you’re thinking. Would you feel at ease after killing her?”

On the other end of the phone, Kern took a sip of the long cigar that was held between his fingers. The
ash of the cigar had lengthened, with a flick of his finger, the whole section of the ash fell onto an
expensive snow-white plush blanket that was customized in a foreign country. He did not feel
distressed at all.



“Sam, let me tell you something. If you want anyone to die, do it yourself.” Coldness emerged from
Kern’s eyes. His thin lips, which were similar to Caden’s, spoke peremptorily: “Don’t you ever threaten
me with Caden Shaw. You are much more insidious than me! Don’t you remember how Wallis died?”

Sam’s hand trembled harshly all of a sudden. His phone almost fell to the ground.

He then grabbed the phone tightly, his eyes glittered, “Of course I know! That b*itch killed my daughter,
my only daughter! My daughter had suffered so much humiliation and tortures. She was dead! But that
b*itch only stayed in the prison for three years!”

“Only stayed in the prison for three years?” Kern repeated it in a weird tone.

The veins emerged from Sam’s forehead, “My daughter was dead. That b*itch came out of prison after
threes! The God is unfair! She deserves more punishment!”

“She deserves more punishment?” Kern’s voice grew more strangely and asked lightly.

If not he had witnessed the scenes through the camera with his own eyes; if not he had known how
badly that woman was tortured in that place, and how she spent three years there as an extremely
frightened person; if not, out of pure curiosity, he had asked his driver to bring her over on the day
when that woman was released, and he saw that woman, who was too wretched to look like a human;
if not, by coincidence, he saw the woman had abandoned her pride for lowly survival in the Royal Club!

Perhaps, he would truly believe what the old butler had told him, and perhaps he would really feel
sympathetic, thus, fulfilling the old man’s wish to kill that woman.

Three years ago, was it only Wallis who framed this woman?

Wrong!

Three years ago, everyone took action! Everyone took action to frame this woman!



Why didn’t Caden dig into the incident? Why couldn’t he find out anything?

Because it was the members of the Shaw family that participated in framing that woman…On the one
hand, Caden didn’t want to dig in at all, since he cared not about the life or death of Grace James.

On the other hand, in a game that involved several sides, once being careless, the entire game would
be lost. Caden dedicated all his energy to this game, and he had no time, manpower, or extra energy to
investigate this incident. Later when Caden almost won the game, he wouldn’t remember Grace, who
was still imprisoned. Besides, the evidence that Grace brutally killed Wallis was solid, as if it was
witnessed with one’s own eyes. Caden had a good feeling for Wallis, but the person that he had good
feelings for was murdered like that, so someone had to be responsible for it. Therefore, Grace James,
who was neglected by Caden, became the person who suffered the most in that incident!

However, the humiliation on and death of Wallis Venus was done by many people…including Kern
himself.

As for Kern, his victory and loss were both related to Grace James… He underestimated Caden’s
cruelty and ruthlessness as well as Sam’s viciousness!

That woman… Kern shook his head. He wasn’t shameless enough to kill the woman who was already
forced by them to survive as lowly as she was today. He wasn’t that shameless!

On the other side of the phone, Sam, the old butler, kept cursing that woman. Hearing the old man’s
nasty curse words, even Kern, who was recalcitrant, was also annoyed. He raised his arm to scratch
his brown hair, “Shut up!” He shouted, “Sam, I will say it one more time. If you want anyone to die, do it
yourself. I won’t stop you, but I won’t help you either.”

This old son of b*itch was right about something…If that woman was dead, he would also benefit,
because the truth from three years ago would not be found out anymore.



The world was fickle. When a person was alive, he might still seek the truth for themselves. When a
person was dead, would anyone seek the truth for a dead person?

“Kern! You have to help me on this, otherwise, I will tell Mr. Shaw what you’ve done three years ago!”

“Mr. Venus, you do know that Grace was innocent.” Kern laughed mildly. Sam, on the other hand, went
silent immediately after hearing Kern’s words…He had admitted this fact himself indirectly the moment
he threatened Kern. He knew it in his heart that Grace was innocent.

Sam bit his teeth and said stubbornly, “I don’t know what you’re talking about! I only know that Wallis
went to the YES Club because of that b*itch! And you, Mr. Lo, the things that you’ve done to Mr. Shaw
secretly— cutting off his main customers in order to purchase the very resource that was extremely
important to Mr. Shaw. If Mr. Shaw knows about these, I’m afraid that he will go harsh on you and your
company. By that time, your situation will be quite dangerous.”

The corner of Kern’s mouth was curled into a cold smile. This old man was still threatening him to kill
that woman at a time like this…Sorry, he was not cruel enough to bully that poor woman anymore.

“Sure, go ahead and tell Mr. Shaw.” Kern sneered: “Let me remind you something. How come a butler
like you can know about these things, you think Mr. Shaw is dumb? As for whether you only know the
things at the surface level, or anything else, Sam, you know it better than me. And you know more
about Wallis’ death than me.”

“What I can say to you is that, you’re really flexible. If I were you, I wouldn’t call again. Are trying to
bully me?” Kern sneered, “You hate Grace that much, then kill her yourself. Don’t bother me again!”

With that, he hung up rudely without saying anything else.

Sam, the butler, held the phone in his hand, his body shuddering slightly…What exactly did Kern know
about? What was the meaning of his last words?



No!

Wallis’s death was that b*itch’s fault!

That b*itch must die because of this!
