I've Been There Before

“You said that you will intercede with Big Boss for me, did you do it? Or is it just a way for you to show others your kindness? Grace James, you’re the most viscous person in the world!”

Ruby vented her anger at Grace as soon as she stepped into the room.

“You must have some romantic affairs with Big Boss right? Since you’ve been together with Big Boss, why did you seduce men left and right? You screwed with Franklin, and also that foreign man! Listen, listen to my voice! If you did appeal to Big Boss’s mercy for me, my voice wouldn’t have been ruined for sucking in too much water!

The doctor said that my voice will only recover after a long time of recuperation. But even if it is recovered later, it won’t be as intact as it was before! Didn’t you agree that you will help me to intercede with Big Boss? I had begged you so pitifully, and I even bowed to you and admitted my mistakes. On the surface, you told me that you’ll help me, but in the end, you didn’t do anything! Grace James, I’ve never seen a woman who’s as hypocritical as you! You are so disgusting and pretentious!”

Grace didn’t retort or interrupt Ruby. There was no emotion in her expressions – no sorrow, no pleasure, no anger, and no resentment. Her temples were still burning hot. Grace slowly raised her hands and caressed her temples. Suddenly, she looked up at the indignant Ruby and said in a husky voice, “But you’re still alive, right?”

“What do you mean?” Ruby was stunned. She widened her eyes and stared at Grace in disbelief, “Grace James, are you yearning for my death?!”

Grace smiled lightly when hearing the screech.

“Ruby, do you think that it was me who caused your sufferings?”

“If it was not because of you, I wouldn’t have suffered those! And I would not have been driven out of Royal Club! Do you know how hard it is for a university student like me to work in a foreign city, just to earn my tuition fee and living expenses? Do you know how hard it is for me to make my living?”

Grace felt it ridiculous from the bottom of her heart.
