Steal my heart novel (Grace James and Caden Shaw)

Chapter 185 The Moment When Dream Was Broken

Caden wasn't out for business alone, he also brought Humbert.

Humbert was the master of the White family. Back then he had many conflicts with his father in order to

study medicine. Humbert looked like a mild person normally, but when he got serious, even his father

couldn't do anything.

His father was unable to dissuade Humbert, so the former compromised and said that when the White

family needed Humbert, the latter must willingly bear the burden of hard works for the family.

This was the time when Humbert was needed to make contribution for the family. The Shaw family and

the White family had always had cooperation. This trip to Britain was very important, otherwise, the

decisive persons the Shaw Group and the White Group— Caden and Humbert, wouldn't go together.

"It is hard to deal with." After having a meeting with the second party, Humbert, who was in a British

style overcoat, walked next to Caden, who wore a blue customized suit. They two began to talk as they

walked out of the front door.

Caden took a look at the time, "Let's go eat something."

They found a western restaurant nearby. The atmosphere was quite casual. The two sat down and

ordered two convenient meals. While waiting for the meals, Caden bent his fingers and asked Kirk to

come forth.

"Monitor this Smith closely for these days. See who he meets."

The moment when Caden said this, an idea came across Humbert's mind, "Are you saying that...

Someone from the subsidiary company here was betraying us?"

Caden waved his hand at Kirk, "Go."

He then turned around, "Don't you think it's strange?" He glanced at Humbert, "We just arrived at the

airport yesterday and made an appointment to meet Smith today, but he acted as though he already

knew our bargaining chip."

"What I can think of is that there is mole in the subsidiary company here and this person is in the

management level." Yesterday they just arrived at the airport. Without even taking a break, they

summoned a meeting of the top managers immediately. Next, they made a plan the same night.

However, during the meeting today, the second party seemed to know everything and act calmly, which

was an obvious sign that this person had already known the plan.

"When the two sides were trying to cooperate, it is a taboo to let the other side know everything we

have."

Humbert also looked serious.

"It is hard to avoid the thief everyday. Even if we avoid the top managers and make any other plan that

won't have the risk of being exposed this time, but if we do not take out the mole, he will always be a

time bomb."

Humbert understood what Caden meant, "We can't stay in Britain for a long time. The mole will always

hide in the subsidiary company. When the time bomb explodes, he might even affect the headquarter.

At that time, the stock market will be destabilized. The capitalists of the Wall Street can seize the

chance to ally with others and make a company go short, which is something that they are very good

at."

At first, Humbert was just making some simple conjectures, but as he conjectured more and spoke

more, the less playful he looked on his face. Instead, he grew more and more serious... At the end, his

face tightened and the entire body was rigid. He suddenly raised his eyes and the cold gaze locked on

Caden who sat at the other side:

"Bribing the top managers of the company to become their commercial spy, selling important

information. In the end, a trivial problem will be amplified for many many times, creating turbulence

among the members. At that time, the media will step in... The consequence is disastrous!

"Once the media interferes, a problem that is as small as a fingernail will be exaggerated infinitely. And

the western capitalists will take hold... A good enterprise will be broken down in one single night... Why

is this method so familiar? Caden... Who is so brave to go against the Shaw family?"

"Yes, they are doing it." The man at the opposite side had no sign of anger or seriousness on his

handsome face.

"Caden, please be more serious!" Humbert was anxious, "And, who are they?"

"I don't know."

At this time, the meals were served. Humbert looked incredulously at the man who began to eat calmly.

At a time like this and running into such thing, how could he have the mood to eat!

"Why do you still have the mood to eat!"

"Calm down." Caden raised his eyes and glanced at Humbert mildly, "You are too impetuous."

"You!" You were not impetuous. You, Caden Shaw, were the best. Was it good enough!

"Let's eat. We need energy to play with the kitties."

Humbert suddenly felt less anxious as he heard Caden's words... Caden was a cruel person, why

would he be worried?

Since Caden said so, meaning he must already have his own plans.

...

Meanwhile.

In the S City.

Grace sneaked into Caden's study room when there was nobody.

She rummaged for a while.

She looked very anxious.

Why was it not here?

Where was it?

The shelf, the drawer... She had already searched everywhere. Where did he put it?

"Madam, what are you looking for?"

Mr. Garcia, the butler, appeared at the door of the study room silently like an evil spirit.

The book held in Grace's hand dropped on the floor all of a sudden!

She flustered to turn around and smiled unnaturally, "Mr. Garcia... When did you come? Why didn't I

hear the door open?"

"The seventeenth rule for a butler: be quiet and do no make loud noise." Mr. Garcia stood still at the

door, his eye stared at Grace without moving a bit, "Madam, you haven't told me what you are looking

for in the study room at such a late time."

"I... I..." She swallowed the saliva, the corner of her eyes glanced at the book shelf and a thought

flashed in her mind, "I couldn't fall asleep. I want to find a book to read."

The butler stood at the door, his eyes narrowed. He asked calmly, "Then have you found the book you

want?"

"Yes... I did." Grace smiled awfully, point at the floor, "This one."

Mr. Garcia walked in, standing half a meter from Grace, "Madam, it is late now. Why don't you go back

to your bedroom."

"Yeah, sure. I am leaving now." With that,. she turned around in panic, striding toward the door. After

she passed by Mr. Garcia, she sighed in relief in her heart... She managed to make it through.

The moment she walked onto the hallway...

"Madam. You forget to bring your book?"

Grace's feet paused and almost fell over. Still, she staggered. She hurriedly turned around and looked

at the book that Mr. Garcia picked up from the floor for her awkwardly. Her smile became more

unnatural:

"Thank, thank you."

She stepped forth and grabbed the book as fast as she could.

The butler walked to the hallway and watched Grace leave. He watched the woman stumbled all the NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

way to disappearance.

A message arrived at the other side of the world at the same time:

"Ten minutes ago, Madam went to your study room. She said she was looking for a book and left

hurriedly, forgetting to even bring the book she wanted to read."

The eyes of the person who received the message were dark and cold. He stared at the message for a

minute. His pupils contracted gradually just like their owners whose heart flooded with surging waves.

Humbert realized his abnormalities, "What's wrong?"

Then Humbert found that the man was gazing at the phone in a daze, "Whose message was it?"

The latter stayed still quietly. As Humbert was stretching out to grab the phone, Caden's eyes were

suddenly raised, looking into Humbert's eyes straightly. His lips opened difficultly, "Tell me. A person's

attitude changes so differently, is it really because of her compromise? Tell me. Can a person really

make up for the past mistakes and fix everything?"

The first question was about Grace, the second was about himself.

"After all, I still deceived myself." She hated him that much. She didn't even want to see him. How was

it possible that she suddenly changed her attitude and was willing to face him calmly?

It was just a dream that he didn't want to wake up from, it was just a self-deceiving dream.
