I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 47

Seeing the woman standing in front of him, Mr. Du only commented, “She is too ugly.”

Ruby’s heart skipped a beat when hearing that.

Perhaps Ruby truly hoped that Grace were the most beautiful woman in the world at that moment.

If Mr. Du disdained Grace’s appearance, she would still be the one who would be forced to perform that drowning show.

Ruby secretly squinted at the huge box, where there was filled with water with almost the depth of two meters. She then insisted, “Mr. Du, her poor appearance doesn’t mean anything. She could still perform the show perfectly.”

Though Grace just arrived, she still figured out what was going on judging from their conversation. She started to notice that the show they mentioned must be something deadly.

Mr. Du stared at Grace with disbelief, “Really, it she right about that?”

Grace shivered a bit. It was the second time she was asked the same question in a day.

She just smiled to avoid any eye contact with Mr. Du, and then she turned to glare at Ruby. Her look put Ruby in a rather awkward situation. Ruby then moved her head away from the gaze of Grace with her burning hot face.

“Come on, that’s a nice trade worth one million!” Ruby forced her words, but in a rather timid tone. “Since it is a nice trade, why don’t you have a try?” Grace refuted.

Then Grace blinked her eyes and continued, “Two million.”

“Your name is Grace, right? How dare you bargain with me?” Mr. Du frowned. It seemed that this woman named Grace was indeed a gold digger as Ruby had mentioned.

“Offer me two million. I will do that show.”

“Grace! What are you doing?! One million is a considerable amount. Don’t ask for too much!” Ruby was in the fear that once Grace offended Mr. Du, she would still have to be the one suffering the drowning show.

Grace fixed her eyes on Mr. Du firmly, “I need two million to risk my life. And I guarantee that I will do my best to suffice you in the performance, my honorable guest.”

When facing the money, Grace was rather sensitive and urgent for more.

“I don’t think your life worth that much.” Mr. Du snorted.

Grace just replied casually, “Though my life is not worth two million, your happiness gaining during the show is worth that much, Mr. Du.”

Mr. Du replied with a smile. In his eyes, this woman was much more interesting than that pure girl named Ruby.

Grace lowered her head and did not even refute.

It was known to all that she loved money. Grace smiled meaningfully and said when she raised her head, “Yes, I love money as the same as I cherish my life. No, exactly speaking, my yearning for money has overtaken how I cherish my life.”

“So I will be the most dedicated actress as long as I got paid enough.”

“Well, two million dollars. That is the deal.”

Ten minutes later.

Grace was thrown into the huge box, while she still insisted on wearing her tight dress.

Her whole body had submerged into the water. The drenched dress became heavier when absorbing water. She felt her being dragged down to the bottom.

Grace could still keep her eyes open at the beginning, seeing those middle-aged men staring at her with joy.
