Chapter 16 The Utmost Humiliation


    “I... Grace opened her mouth trying to say something to refuse it. Under the cover of the darkness,


    Caden secretly curled his lips into a smirk...


    Just as he had guessed, the arrogant Grace .James, the daughter of the .James family, would never


    put aside her dignity to endure such kind of humiliation.


    “If I pick up all the notes in one minute, then I can keep the money, right? And you will give me an


    additional incentive of 50,000 CNY, right?”


    It seemed to be so hard for Grace to say “No'' to this proposal. She thought of that silly girl, who was


    the only one to show kindness to her in the prison, and thought of that girl''s unfulfilled wish. Then


    Grace changed her mind... Dignity? Did she have the dignity now?


    The current Grace .James possessed nothing! She had no home, no families, no friends and no past.


    She only had herself.


    The young manughed, “Of course, l''m a man of my words." He peered at theical woman on the


    ground patronizingly with a trace of mockery in his eyes.


    “Okay." Her voice was so hoarse and low that it was quite unpleasant. As no one would pay special


    attention to her, naturally no one had discerned the depression and sorrow in her words. Then, in front


    of these people, Grace squatted down. Someone pointed at her and teased, “Young Master Lance,


    look, I think she looks like your silly dog.”


    The man, who threw money to Grace just now, snorted, “Are you blind? Roke is a male dog.”


    “Oh... oh yeah!” The other man smirked, “Roke is a male dog, and this is a female dog. Hahaha...”


    Their jeers and taunts lingered in the air. Grace bit hard on her lower lip and swiftly picked up the notes


    which were scattered on the ground. Therefore, Grace had to crawl on the ground to pick up these


    sporadic notes.


    “Grace, dorrtt listen to it and don take it to your heart


    ''Grace, these taunts are just nothing! You should thank these dudes for their mercy whenparing


    this kind of humiliation with those you had suffered in the prison.


    ''Grace, your life is not valuable, not to mention your dignity!''


    ''Grace, you must remember that you own a girl her life, and you should realize her dream about the


    Erhai Lake


    ''Grace, you possess nothing now, and can only rely on yourself. Then you should use all you


    possessions, including your dignity, to pay back that innocent girl who had died for protecting you! You


    should realize her dream about the Erhai Lake''


    Grace could clearly hear those taunts and scoffs, but she just gritted her teeth hard against the


    humiliation regardless the fact that it hurt so much.


    There were several notes in front of a pair of shoes. Grace didn''t hesitate, and crawled over to pick


    them up. From behind, one of the dude, who was called “Young Master Lance” by his apanies,


    take the money.


    Grace shivered and clenched her hand that was holding the notes even more tightly. She clenched so


    tightly that it seemed like her fingers were going to pierce through the notes and nail into her palm.


    Someone booed, “Wag your tail, quickly!"


    “Hey, silly dog, dorrt let us wait for too long. Wag your tail!”


    “Yuck, silly dog, don''t you want the money?” .Joyce Lance suddenly chimed in.


    Money! Grace looked down at the money in her hand and took a deep breath, and then swung her hips


    slowly and stiffly.


    “Hahahaha... Theyughed even louder, “Ouch, I can''t bear it anymore! Iughed myself into


    convulsion!"


    “Oh...oh no, I can''t bear it either. I''ve visited countless nightclubs in the country and seen various kinds


    of women, many of which are money- mad. But it was my first time to see someone to be so greedy!


    Tsk, tsk, tsk, it feeds my sight!”


    “Young Master Shaw, that silly dog is wagging her tail at you.” With evil intentions, .Joyce Lance asked


    Caden, “Hey,e on, reward her something?”


    Young Master Shaw? Caden... Shaw...?!


    At the moment, Grace felt that her heart had stopped working! With difficulty, she raised her head


    slowly and stiffly... But when seeing the man, her face became bloodlessl


    Caden sat on the sofa quietly, and under the dim light, he looked more graceful and indifferent.


    He fixated his gaze on Grace''s face and uttered a word with indifference andpos?re, “Bitch.”


    Grace gnashed her teeth, feeling breathless. lf there wasn''t a thick clown make-up on her face, they


    would see her pale face that was as bloodless as that of the dead.


    Luckily... she was now wearing theical make-up.


    After a long while...


    Stared by Caden, Grace slowly forced a bright smile, “Thanks for your kindness, Mr. Shaw.” No one


    noticed that she had clenched her teeth and used all her strength to utter these words!


    He scolded her as a bitch, yet she thanked him for his kindness. The lofty and unyielding Miss James


    of the Pearl City had changed, right?


    Grace took a deep breath and turned around to look at Joyce, “Young Master Lance, I''ve picked up all


    the notes on the ground, will you carry out your promise?” .JJoyce waved his hand expansively.


    However, just as Grace moved as she intended to stand up, Joyce stopped her, “Dorrt stand up now.”


    As he was speaking, he walked over the crystal counter and picked up a ss of wine.


    “I want to treat you a ss of wine. Gulp it down and take the money.”


    He handed a ss of whisky to Grace who was still lying on all fours on the ground.


    ”“I don''t...”


    Grace''s refusal was interrupted by a low voice, “Good wine is for beauty. lfs a pity to treat her with it.”


    lt was Caden who was speaking!


    Grace looked down at the ground to conceal the bitterness in her eyes.


    ''Caden, to what extents will you be happy!


    “That''s true, but Young Master Shaw. Isn''t she beautiful?” Joyce doubted, “I don''t believe it. All women


    in Royal Club are beauties.


    After finishing the words, he turned to look up and down at Grace in dead earnest. However, the heavy


    clown make-up on her face blocked him from seeing her appearance.


    “You don''t believe?” Caden curled his thin lips into a smile andzily casted his gaze on Grace s face,


    “Go remove the make-up.” He said it contemptuously andzily... and, extremely unconcernedly!


    4ust as Grace was about to stand up...


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    “Crawl to the washroom." Joyce Lance added.


    Grace''s face became pale again and she clenched her fists tightly... You can hold ?t back, Grace


    .Jamesl lt was nothing! It was nothingpared to the three-year imprisonment.


    She followed the order and crawled to the washroom in this private room. Since she had no makeup


    removing lotion, she could just use the hand sanitizer and roughly removed the clown make-up. Of


    course she could not remove it all since she had no removing lotion, but... it was clean enough for them


    to see her gaunt and in face.


    Then she opened the door of the washroom...


    “I''m ustomed to see you crawling on the ground and I don''t want to see you walk with your legs."


    Joyce smiled and looked at the woman who was standing at the door, “Hey, what should you do then?”


    Grace slowly squatted down, sprawled to the ground and started to crawl. As her legs had a bad


    shape, plus that she had crawled on the ground for a long while just now, she felt the pain on her legs


    and her face became pale.


    lt was so painful, but this indocile woman just bore it silently and tried to conceal it... She said that she


    had no dignity, neither did she need it, and that she didn''t care about it. However, in reality, she would


    secretly bear the pain that even men couldr?t bear without uttering a word ofints.
