I've Been There Before

She was trembling while she was holding the phone. Ingemar had never seen such a woman before. Needless to say, her sorrow was there.

Mrs. James felt panicked. She did not understand this emotion very well. She had never understood such an emotion in her life. What she cared more was...?

“Grace, how’s it going? President Shaw, he...”

“President Shaw will let the James Group go.” The woman on the rattan chair closed her eyes and stopped Mrs. James’ hurried question. Mrs. James became even happier for a moment. “Grace, I knew you… Your heart was the softest.”

“But I am in charge of the James Group,” the woman said.

“What?” Mrs. James cried out in shock. Her sharp voice broke the tranquility of Erhai Lake. She pointed at the woman in the rattan chair who had her eyes closed in disbelief.

“How can you!”

“I can,” Grace said slowly.

“You are unfilial! You take advantage of this!”

Mrs. James was very angry.

The woman on the rattan chair only smiled faintly. But it made Mrs. James was furious when she saw it.

“I thought you were a nonchalant person. So you are the most ambitious one! You want to take Payne’s property!” Mrs. James only had the sentence “I’m in charge of the James Group” in her mind. She was in a mess and mentioned Jafar. “Your father won’t agree! You are wrong!”

Grace sneered and opened her eyes, staring straight at Mrs. James.

“Go back and ask Jafar if he wants to be the old master of the James Group in S City or a penniless poor man with no money.”

Grace looked coldly at Mrs. James. She added, “I will give these words to Mrs. James as well.”

“If I’m in charge of it, you’re still Mrs. James in S City’s group of the upper crust. Payne is also the young master of the James Group. His monthly salary is still the same as before. There’s no shortage of his medical expenses. Mrs. James’ expenses are fifty thousand a month. If Mrs. James and Mr. James were unwilling, the James Group would become the history of S City. You are smart. Just think yourself what is the most advantageous choice.”

Mrs. James’ ears were buzzing!

But what scared her even more were Grace’s eyes, which were bloodshot!

Grace waved at her and said, “Go back and think. Ask Mr. James. Go.”
