I've Been There Before

Mrs. James was extremely shocked. She looked at the person in front of her in surprise, as if she had met a ghost. She said each word with great difficulty, “What are you talking about?”

After Grace told Mrs. James what she knew briefly, she said, “That’s the case. Believe it or not, I’m not your daughter. I can’t save your son. The James family does not lack money, nor does Mr. James lack connections. I believe that if Mr. James really wants to save his son, he could find a match for Payne. If your family can’t find a match for him, how could I succeed? I’m only an outsider. I’m no helpful for saving your son,”

Grace said calmly. However, if Mrs. James wasn’t so shocked at the moment, and if she put in more effort to care about Grace’s feelings, she would sense the wisps of sorrow hidden beneath Grace’s calmness and indifference.

If… But in the reality, Mrs. James could not find.

Mrs. James could not find anything else apart from Grace’s calmness. She couldn’t sense Grace’s injuries beneath her coldness.

Grace finally landed her gaze on the “Mom” that she had been calling for more than twenty years. Her mom was still wearing luxurious clothes. “Go. Don’t waste your time here. Payne... Payne is still waiting for you.”

She could not force herself to call Payne her “big brother”.

It was not only because of the harm that the James family had done to her, but also because of the fact that she wasn’t a James.

“No! Little Grace!” How could Mrs. James let go of her? Grace was the last hope for her!

She had already pounced over recklessly, her hands tightly grabbing onto Grace. She was afraid that Grace would run away. She couldn’t give up… For her son, she couldn’t!

“Grace, you are really my daughter. I know what happened back then!” Mrs. James was so anxious that she forgot to keep the secret. She accidentally confessed to what had happened back then. However, Grace was still expressionless. Thinking that Grace might not believe her, she hurriedly said,
