Chapter 169 It is not up to You
“No, the old master doesn’t have to…”
“It is my neglect.” The man looked outside the window, and said mildly. Ladd’s body trembled and his
shoulder lowered apparently… Boss had firmly believed that this incident was done by the old master.
“Boss, let think about it carefully. There must be something that we don’t know. Please give me another All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
month to investigate this incident!” Ladd suddenly knelt down and said determinedly. The Shaw family
had been kind to him. If it was because of his investigation report that failed to prove Miss James to be
innocent, but instead led to the conflict within the Shaw family, he would feel guilty!
After hearing that, Caden turned his head around coldly, lowered his eyes to glance at Ladd who was
kneeling on the ground. He had seen through the mind of Ladd, he smiled lightly, “I ask you to
investigate this incident from three years ago secretly, but now, Ladd, you still think that no one knows
about it?”
His finger pointed at the report on the desk, and he narrowed his eyes coldly, “I’m afraid that as soon
as you began to investigate, my family had known everything since the beginning. Look, those
‘evidences’ were made so flawless.” The thing was why the old master would make such a decision
three years ago?
This was also something that Caden couldn’t figure out.
If something that would agitate him did happen three years ago, it would merely be a game among
several sides, but it was still the business of the Shaw family. No matter how, the old master didn’t have
to implicate a twenty-year-old girl at that time.
“Go.” Caden raised his arm and asked Ladd to leave.
Ladd still wanted to say something, but as he raised his head, his eyes were locked by a pair of black
eyes that seemed to see through his thoughts, “Ladd, I know what you’re thinking. But this incident is
already more than a simple scheme between women.”
“Then Miss James…”
“I will marry her.”
Ladd shivered, her eyes widened all of a sudden and blinked… Boss said, what?
“If it was the old master who had planned all that… Will he allow Miss James to be part of the Shaw
family?”
“I will marry her, meaning I will protect her for the rest of her life.” Caden said this sentence without
clenching his teeth or being sweat or affectionate. However, Ladd somehow believed that this man in
front of him did not just say it for fun.
He thought of the girl who had chased boss all around and always stood behind the boss. He didn’t
know whether he should be happy for Miss James that she finally made it through alive, or should he
felt heart-broken for her. This overdue promise came after her world was blown up and destroyed by a
devastating tornado. It came so late.
When Ladd left the study room, he could not calm himself down.
He only hoped this poor woman’s miserable life could end as soon as possible, and lived in a world of
fairy tales since then.
Caden didn’t think much though, he was pretty sure that the old master, his father, intervened in the
event three years ago.
But why would the old master do something like that to Grace James? Many reasons came across
Caden’s mind, still, he couldn’t think of anything else.
What outstanding characters did Grace have? Right, she was hard-working, was able to endure
hardships, and worked very hard. In a circle of pure luxury, even a man was no match for her.
Her excellence was undisputed.
If the old master was worried that she would be too excellent and became the stumbling block for the
Shaw family… This didn’t make sense either.
If it was related to the competition from three years ago, that wouldn’t make any sense either. The
James family might be slightly more powerful when its leader was still alive, but the leader had already
passed away at that time. The James family did not even participate in that competition at all, and it
wasn’t qualified either.
Caden was not stupid enough to ask the old master why.
He raised his arm to check the time and strode outside the study room. He headed to the bedroom and
went inside, “Go to a business banquet with me tonight.”
“No.” In the bedroom, the woman sat by the window quietly, staring at the modified security window.
Through the glass, she could hear the man’s voice, and she answered without even looking back.
“It’s not up to you.”
The man spoke with a charming voice.
The woman, whose back was facing him, curled up a smile of ridicule, “Since it’s not up to me, why do
you bother to inform me?” After that day, she was imprisoned in this mansion, couldn’t go out, like a
canary in the cage.
Every window in the mansion was installed with a security window… security window for who?
