Chapter 111 Caden VS Franklin

Franklin sneered, “Your possession? What does Mr. Shaw mean by that?

“You know what I mean. So cut the chase.”

“If it is Grace that you are talking about,” Franklin’s smile disappeared, “Mr. Shaw, Grace is a free
woman with her own will. She is no one’s possession.”

There was not any emotion on Caden’s charming face when he gazed at Franklin,

“I have warned you. For what is mine, even if I don’t want it and throw it away, no one else can take it.”

Franklin’s face turned sharp, “Grace is a human being with her own will. She is bestowed with the right
to choose her own husband. Caden, it’s none of your business.”

“Yes, maybe Mr. Shaw had a history with Grace that was unknown to the world. But that story is spilled
milk. Caden, you said yourself that you didn’t want her and threw her away, then why don’t you just let
it go?”

Hearing this, a tinge of coldness flashed across Caden’s deep eyes. What did she tell Franklin?

“Even if you had a story, it was definitely not a pleasant one. Caden, if you are not blind, you can see
that I can make her smile.” Franklin continued, “Can you say the same thing?”

Gloria could acutely sense that the boss beside her suddenly stiffened. Although it was not obvious,
she stood close enough to him to capture his reaction.

Unexpectedly! Caden squinted, “Do you know about her?”

“Aren’t I doing that now?” Franklin snorted.

“But do you know how she used to be? Or what kind of person she was in the past?”



“It doesn’t matter how she used to be. What matters is that Grace is a girl I cherish.”

Franklin knitted his brows, “Are you in love with Grace too, Mr. Shaw? Why else would you block me
here at this moment? Mr. Shaw, if you are in love with Grace too, we should compete on an equal
footing.”

Hearing this, Caden was agitated, “Me in love with her?” He snorted, “Even if she was the last woman
in this world, I wouldn’t fall in love with her.” What a woman of easy virtue. Before It was Leno, and now
it is the handsome, rich Franklin.

How could a man as proud as Caden fall in love with a gold digger with easy virtue?

Right now, Caden was too furious to think in a logical way. Behind all these aberrant emotions, did it
ever occur to him that maybe he was in love with Grace?

He was too proud to admit that he was deeply in love with Grace. His pride made him deny his love for
Grace again and again.

Seeing Caden’s sudden mood swings, Franklin was a bit surprised... Is the man before him now truly
the same as the Caden he used to know and who had always stayed rational, cold and indifferent all
the time like an emotionless robot?

For as long as thirty seconds, Franklin kept watching the man who was going through abrupt mood
swings. Gradually, the surprise in his eyes faded away.

Then Franklin’s lips lifted up...Now that Caden said he would never fall in love with Grace, then he
should just let it go. And as Caden’s rival in love, Franklin was under no obligations to remind him,
right?

Gloria and Kirk were both no idiots. They perceived the oddness in the boss’s behavior.



Franklin smiled lightly, “Then I guess I misunderstood Mr. Shaw. But I like Grave very much. Everyone
says I, Franklin, is a genuine playboy.”

“And that I won’t deny.”

“But I take Grace seriously and will cherish her with all my heart.”

When talking about Grace, Franklin could not help but keep smiling. There was even smile glinting in
his charming eyes. The softness and love in his eyes was about to overflow his car and spread to the
Bentley that Caden was in.

Somehow, anger, regret and grievance all spilled in Caden’s heart...But these emotions were just so
strange to him.

A smile gradually appeared on the thin lips of the man sitting in the back of Bentley. But the smile
couldn’t compare with the cruelty in his eyes.

“What if she is not like how you pictured her?”

“Then I, Franklin, will still take her as my bride.”

Sarcasm suddenly covered Caden’s gorgeous face. His lips moved, “Mr. Cordon, how strong is your
love for her? Are you trying to tell me that your love for her is stronger than gold? And that whatever
you will go through, you will never give up on her and will stay by her side forever?”

Then the cold voice said again, “Fine then. I am not the kind of person that will break up an affectionate
couple. I guess I will just wait and see what you got.”

Franklin replied, “May we meet again.”



“Kirk, start the car.” Caden gave a simple order and the back window slowly rose up. The black linear
Bentley drew an elegant line before Franklin and turned around driving away.

In the Bentley, Gloria dared not even to breathe, afraid that she would do anything to piss the boss off.

Caden, with a slender figure, leaned against the seat back. Coldness was all over his eyes and his
hands which lay on his thighs were grasping tighter and tighter.

Good for you, Grace!

Good for you!

It was Leon before, and you kept calling him in such an intimate way. Now it is Franklin?

And Franklin said he was in love with her?

How was that even possible?

How could he fall in love with a licentious gold digger of easy virtue?

At this moment, Caden clearly realized again that Grace was not the same woman she used to be.

In old days, Grace didn’t care to ingratiate herself with anyone, including his boyfriend. But now she
hooked up with a bunch of guys.

The charming face of Caden was now full of agitation. Gloria sat far away from him and tried hard to
not make a single sound which might draw the attention of the man on the verge of a tantrum.

“Kirk, is the land in Qinhuang island open for bidding tomorrow, as I remembered?”



Kirk, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, answered, “Yes, boss. But Shaw Group has no intention to bid
for it.”

“Now we do.” The man in the back sent forth coldness, “And get it for me.”

“But...boss. On the surface, it is a competitive bidding, but Cordon Group will also join in the bidding.
Everyone knows Cordon Group will win the bidding. It is almost in their pockets now.”

Gloria wanted to kill Kirk at this moment...Kirk, couldn’t you just think? If the opponent was not Cordon
Group, why would boss want to win the bidding?

“That’s why we will win it.”

Kirk came to understand immediately.

The he regretted that his mouth moved faster than his brain. Clearly, it was Cordon Group that boss
wanted to target at!

But...all this for that woman?

Kirk secretly peeked at the rear review mirror and saw boss’s face, which shocked him so much that
his hands on the steering wheel trembled.

Boss’s face was... horrifying!

Gloria held her breath and asked, “Boss...now that Grace was nothing to you, then why...why are you
still targeting Cordon Group?”

In Gloria’s eyes, what Caden was doing was all in an attempt to target at Franklin and push him to
surrender.



“Franklin ignored my warning. If something is mine, though I throw it away, no one can pick it up.” The
cold voice said slowly, “A playboy and an ex-con want to play Romeo and Juliet before me. Is their love
really that strong and pure? Then I shall see what they will choose!”
