Chapter 136 Quiet Protection

After being released from prison, it was the first time that Grace heard Wei’ai Foundation from
someone else. After being released from prison, Grace did not inquire about this matter.

"Wei’ai Foundation... has nothing to do with me. My dad... the rest of the James family will do it well
and cherish it."

After all, Wei’ai Foundation was not only her own effort, but also her grandfather's most effort. The rest
of the James family would cherish and love it.

She took it for granted. The man in front of her suddenly chuckled, "Grace, if it weren’t for the fact that
Wei’ai Foundation had run well in your hands, I would almost suspect that you were too naïve. Grace,
you thought the James family so good."

Hearing this, Grace felt a "thump" in her heart. She had a bad feeling, "What does Mr. Caden mean?"

"Tonight's banquet, strictly speaking, is an auction. The organizer is the James family, and the location
is also the villa of the James family."

The more Grace listened, the more she felt wrong, "Auction...what?"

Would it be…?

"Your father and brother are going to change the chairman of Wei’ai Foundation tonight, which
means..."

"They want to sell Wei’ai Foundation!" She interrupted Caden's words and shouted loudly!

Caden stopped talking and stood up, "It's up to you to go or not."



Grace gritted her teeth... It was true that she was afraid of going to such a crowded place, afraid of
facing the contemptuous glances of those acquaintances, afraid of appearing in front of others,
but...but that was Wei’ai Foundation.

"Go. I'll go with you." She had to take a look with her own eyes, otherwise how could she be willing?

Caden nodded. He waved at the stylist waiting by the side, "Help her."

Grace sat on the sofa and allowed those people to smear her face... This time, she had to go! Wei’ai
Foundation was a gift from her grandfather. Even if it was now in their hands, she had to see with her
own eyes how those "family members" ruined her and grandpa’s efforts!

Like a puppet, Grace let the stylists do whatever they wanted to do. This woman sat here silently.
Caden leaned aside, watching all this quietly.

There was no glamorous makeup, but gradually, that woman's face has the appearance of previous
Grace... It was strange that he still remembered the appearance of Grace back then. After three years,
Wallis' appearance had been blurred. He couldn't remember how Wallis looked like. But the woman's
looks when she confessed, the looks when she was angry, the looks when she was proud, and even
the occasional domineering looks... he could remember clearly at this moment.

She obeyed the stylist's advice and was about to put on a pure white dress.

"Wait a minute." Caden spoke lightly. Grace looked over, and the stylists all looked at him, Caden
walked to the long row of hangers that brought by the stylists into the office. He glanced around in the
row of colorful dresses. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand to pick out one of them. "Wear this black
one."

Grace glanced at the long dress in his hand and slowly reached out to take it.



She walked into the lounge attached to the office. Not long after, the door of the lounge was silently
pushed open again. Caden looked over. He felt amazing...not because of her appearance, because the
black fishtail dress which was in her reminded him of the scene that she confessed her love to him in
front of everyone when she was eighteen years old.

He felt shocked. Under these hot eyes, Grace became more and more uncomfortable. He waved his
hand. "Go."

...

The car was driving on the road, but after a while, it turned into an alley. The alley was not big, and it
was barely able to get in a car.

Not long after, the car stopped in front of a handicraft workshop.

Caden got off the car in a very cool manner. He walked around to Grace's side, and stretched out his
hand to open the car door, "Get off."

"Mr. Caden, isn't the location of the banquet at the villa of the James family?" Grace asked slowly as
she got out of the car.

The man had taken her hand and walked forward, "Before going to the banquet, there is something to
be solved."

After Grace entered this quietly-fronted handicraft workshop, she realized that it was not an ordinary
handicraft workshop.

On both sides of the shop, there were all kinds of ornaments. There weren’t too many, but each one
was unique.

She couldn't help but be surprised, "This little shop is a sideline of which master in the world?"



Even if she had been in jail and Caden obliterated her identity and her past, but he couldn't obliterate
her taste. This was her foundation cultivated since childhood.

"I said that when I woke up this morning, I heard magpies singing. It turned out that it is Mr. Caden who
came to my shop. What brings you here?" A woman walked out of the back room. She had profound
features of Westerners and the softness of an Oriental. Her fluent Chinese had indicated that she was
a mixed-race beauty.

Grace quietly looked at the mixed-race beauty, and the mixed-race beauty was also looking at her.

Caden did not answer the question of the mixed-blood beauty who appeared suddenly, but smiled
sarcastically,

"This year, can you still hear the screaming of magpies? Alice, do you know what a magpie looks like?"

It turned out that the mixed-race beauty was named Alice. Grace retracted her gaze on Alice.

"Caden, who is she?" Alice asked suspiciously, looking at the hand held by them together. Suddenly,
the light-colored eyes paused.

Caden ignored her and took out the checkbook from his arms. He used his pen to write something
down on the check, and buckled it on the crystal table, "I remember you have a drop-shaped sapphire
jewelry. I want to buy it."

Alice was stunned... and then looked at the hands he and Grace were entangled with. A faint light
flashed under her eyes.

She glanced at the amount of the check on the crystal table again. She was surprised and then raised
her head. "Caden, you are really generous." Turning around, she went into the back room. When she
came out, she was holding a box in her hand.



When standing in front of Grace, Alice smiled softly and said to Grace, "You have to take care of this
set of jewelry. They are very, very precious. So far, I have never thought about selling them to others."
She looked softer.

"If it weren't for Caden, I wouldn't take it out."

Grace glanced at Alice in front of her... Why did she think that Alice was hostile to her? What Alice said
had other meanings?

A hand stretched out from the side, took over the box from Alice’s hand, placed it on the crystal table
aside and picked out a sapphire drop necklace. He walked behind Grace, and put it on her neck. He
said lightly.

"I bought the jewelry in this box. It belongs to her. It is her freedom how to deal with it. She can wear it,
keep it or dispose of it. I will not interfere."

The implication was that he gave things to his woman and he would not interfere with her how to deal
with the gifts he gave, so it was not Alice’s business.

Alice felt embarrassed.

"Ahem... Caden, you haven't introduced me yet, this...Miss, which family?"

Caden pulled Grace's wrist. After taking out the sapphire bracelet of the same series in the box, he put
it on Grace’s wrist. He took out the earrings again.

"I'll wear it myself." Grace quickly stopped him, but Caden avoided the palm she stretched out, "Don't
move." In front of Alice, he helped Grace put on earrings.

As for the ring...



"Don't hide." He clasped her palm tightly, putting the ring on her finger little by little.

Grace felt complicated...This scene had appeared in her dreams many times before. She never thought
that her dreams came true today, but she no longer had the feeling for him.

Alice, from beginning to end, felt even more embarrassed.

Caden didn't feel sorry for Alice. He gave the money. She gave the goods. He and she only met at a
jewellery auction party. He just appreciated her talents... But she was not the only one who had talents
in jewelry design.

Before today, this woman was also smart enough to never show the slightest feelings in front of him.

However, since she showed it today, then there was no need for Caden to continue contacting with her.
