Female Novel
Chapter 154 What If She Is Innocent
"Do I need your consent to do anything? Huh?"
Kirk shivered with cold sweat on his forehead. "I...Boss, I just think that it has been three years since
the incident. Besides, the call records and text messages in Ms. Venus's phone have already explained
everything. I just feel that there is no need to waste time for a certain fact."
Caden's eyes were cold and deep. His eyes suddenly turned gloomy and he stared at Kirk's face. "It
seems that you don't want me to investigate things back then."
"Hmm", Kirk's face was pale, without thinking about it, his knees fell heavily on the ground: "Boss
Mingjian, the subordinates don't mean that. The subordinates just think, Boss...Boss, you have
changed now. It must be different from before.
"Although Ms. James is close to you, Boss has become soft-hearted because of her. The old mister
has repeatedly warned me. As the helm of the Shaw family, Boss, you should not be as soft-hearted as
ordinary people, which will make you become weak and flawed. The Shaw family has too many
enemies, Boss, you shoulder a great responsibility...You can't become weak because of a woman..."
"Enough!" Caden coldly yelled, stood up suddenly, and looked down at Kirk kneeling on the ground
with cold eyes. His eyes were so cold as if he could freeze things.
"Do you still remember how the follower of each patriarch of the Shaw family was selected?" He stared
at Kirk with cold eyes. "I select people at the age of seven. Out of ten people, I chose you as the first
one. That's why your name is Kirk Shaw. Since the moment your were called Kirk Shaw, I am the only
one you have to be loyal and obedient to."
"You follow my decision. Carry out my order. This is the only thing that you need to do from the moment
you stay by my side, from the moment you are named Kirk Shaw. You need to be obedient to me.
Kirk's forehead was sweaty. His boss rarely said these things to people like him, so that he almost
made the biggest mistake. At this moment, he was panicked. Kirk's resolute face now was as pale as a
ghost. "Bang"! His head hit the ground with a loud noise. Gloria who was on the side also tightened her
shoulders nervously, not daring to let out a breath.
She wanted to help Kirk, but she didn't dare to make any move now.
Furthermore, Kirk broke a great taboo.
One servant could never serve two masters!
Even if the other person was the grandfather of their boss, he couldn't break the rules!
Caden's cold gaze was fixed on Kirk. After all, he was a little moved and waved his hand. "Forget it.
You can atone for your mistake. Go and check what happened three years ago to see if there is
anything hidden."
Kirk thanked Caden again and again, then walked out of Gloria’s office. The moment the door was
closed, there was a complicated expression on his resolute face... The boss was a little soft for letting
him go. But... Kirk wasn't happy at all!
Boss was became soft now. The whole Shaw family relied on him, but he became soft like ordinary
people... In the past, how could boss forgive him so easily?
In Kirk's view, becoming soft meant that there were cracks in the glass. And there was a flaw in the
perfect helm of the Shaw family.
In the office, Gloria was still there. "There is one thing... Mr. Shaw, I never understand."
"I'm listening."
"As for the incident three years ago, why didn't you investigate before? But you want to check it now."
Caden clasped his fingers together and leaned on the desk. Hearing this, his thumb moved
slightly...Why did he want to investigate the thing that happened three years ago?
It was because of Franklin. In front of Franklin, Grace, the murderer in Caden’s eyes who was
calculated and tricked his frend for her own selfish desires, walked to Franklin after being humiliated
and cursed by Franklin in various ways. Before leaving, she still went to ease his mind.
Caden couldn't help asking himself, "Would such a person really kill for her own benefit?"
Gloria's eyes were slightly cold, "She has been out of prison for almost a year. Why didn't you
investigate it for such a long time?"
"Grace, she... has also emphasized more than once for her innocence. You didn't want to investigate
three years ago, nor in three years. Then why? After she has been out of prison for almost a year, you
want to investigate. You always have a chance, but you never do it. Until today, you suddenly want to
investigate?"
What was that about?
"Mr. Shaw, you didn’t check it before because you didn’t care. Then you suddenly want to do it. What
does it mean? You have always been calm and indifferent. Now you want to investigate, which means
that you have noticed there is a flaw in this incident."
"However, killing is not a trivial matter. You won't notice it through just one night. You must have noticed
the flaws for at least two to three months. "
Gloria clenched her fists tightly. At first, she didn't want to say so much, but unknowingly, she thought of
the pain that the fool—Grace had suffered.
"Mr. Shaw," Gloria was a little abnormal with excitement as if she didn't seek justice for Grace but for
herself. "Since you have already noticed that something is wrong, why have you been procrastinating
over and over again? Why did you have to wait until today? Do you know that this will make a woman
who burdened with these wicked charges, will make her physically and mentally more exhausted if one
more second will change many, many things!"
Gloria questioned Caden, her voice getting higher and higher. It was so high that she didn't even
realize it. She just felt extremely happy and comfortable!
She blamed Caden for all the grievances, unwillingness, anger and helplessness that Gloria suffered
for those years!
She let it all out!
The face in front of her seemed to overlap with the face of the person years ago!
But when the excitement faded, the face in front of him became clear. Suddenly, her face turned pale.novelbin
"Mr. Shaw, I, I, I... I'm sorry! Please punish me. I'll accept it."
The man in the chair didn't speak. He stood up all of a sudden, "Well said." The man walked towards
the door without any expression and left.
What Gloria said wasn't wrong. He had already realized that there might be something hidden in this
matter, so why didn't he investigate it?
Good question!
Why didn't he investigate?
He didn't bother to investigate because he didn't care. What's more, all kinds of evidence were there,
and he didn't bother to investigate it again. As for him, when Wallis Venus was alive, she was the
woman he was considering marrying. Now that she was dead, they didn't have this relationship
anymore. Since she died, there was no value. Therefore, it didn't matter anymore.
As for Grace, he didn't care at that time.
It didn't matter to him even if she was dead for three years because of this, let alone three years of
unjust imprisonment.
Then... What happened afterwards?
A wry smile appeared from the corner of Caden's mouth..."I didn't dare to check..." He sighed lightly,
walked out of the Royal Club and looked up at the dark night sky. There was not even a single star that
could be seen.
Why did he want to investigate now?
Why? ...Because that woman never changed her mind when facing Franklin. He heard the words she
said. "Please don't turn yourself into a hideous person for a humble and shameless bitch who can be
despised by anyone." How could he allow her to be despised and abused by people!?
But if the truth was found out...
If she was innocent, how should he deal with her? How could he make it up for her?
