Steal my heart by Savannah Kade

Chapter 288 The Worst Thing Cayne Had Done Leon looked at his friend who had returned in a hurry.

"Is there a ghost chasing you?" Leon raised his eyebrows and teased him.

Cayne strode past Leon and walked to the wine cabinet. He pulled open the glass door and picked up a bottle of whisky without a glance at the wines. He rudely opened it and finished most in the bottle in seconds with large gulps.

Leon rushed over and snatched the bottle from Cayne's hand. "You can't drink like that!" Cayne took a deep breath and the smell of the whisky spread through the air.

Seeing that he wasn't obsessed with wine, Leon put down the whisky and step back. He sat on the coffee-colored leather sofa and said, "Tellwhat has happened?" Cayne stood by the bar, with his arm resting on the counter and the back of his hand holding his forehead. The smell of alcohol pervaded his surroundings. His light-colored eyelashes trembled and he did not answer for a long time.

Leon was a shrewd businessman. Naturally, he found the core of the problem quickly.

"Your secretary said you went to the James Group." He crossed his legs. "You've been rejected by her." Cayne at the bar had no intention of speaking at all.

Leon's eyes lighted up and said, "Did she reject you?" These ordinary words provoked Cayne. He suddenly raised his head and shouted angrily, "No!" Leon raised one hand to support his forehead and looked at him with a faint smile.

"Alright..." Cayne leaned against the bar and said, "You win." Leon smiled and knew what had happened.

Very quickly, he heard Leon's answer.

"But you're wrong." Cayne walked weakly towards the chair in front of the bar and his tall figure slid into the chair. "She didn't reject me, and I didn't say anything to her." Leon's long and narrow eyes flashed with astonishment. "Then what makes you so unhappy?" "We were discussing business when Payne barged in." "Her brother? The eldest son of the James family?" Leon raised his eyebrows.

"It's him." Cayne nodded.

"He should be in the hospital. Payne has been diagnosed with leukemia. Everyone in the business circle knows about it." "Yes, he should be in the hospital." Cayne suddenly chuckled with a trace of mockery. "Nobody is not afraid of death." When he finished speaking, the smart people could guess what had happened after hearing this sentence. And Leon was a smart person.

His thin lips curled dully, and he said lazily, "Oh, I see." Just by saying "I see", he meant that he understood what had happened.

"It's for the sake of survival, right? He went there to beg his sister to save his life. That's really enough. Why didn't he consider that his sister was in poor health? She can't even live a healthy life herself. How could she donate bone marrow to him?" Leon was very indignant and mocked, "He went there to beg her now. What did he do back then?" "Back then?" Cayne didn't know much.

"What? Don't you know? She was in jail." Leon gave a meaningful look at Cayne's handsface.

Cayne nodded. Of course, he knew that.

"Then you should know that the James family abandoned her at her most difficult tand completely cut all ties with her." Now they could make use of her, and they cback immediately to beg her for help.

Actually, there were many bad things that could be avoided if the James family had paid a little attention to Grace and had helped her.

For example, her missing kidneys. " Cayne was not Chinese, but he agreed with Leon. No matter which country he cfrom, there was something in common.

At that time, as long as one of the James family went to visit Grace in prison, they would know about Grace's situation.

The influence of the Shaw family was great, but the James family could be considered an old and wealthy family after so many years in S City. They were not a royal family, but they did have spower.

If the James family had been to visit Grace at that time, even if they had gone there only once, they might have been able to change something.

"So, there was something like that." Cayne remembered the Grace's reaction to Payne in the office today. Suddenly, he understood the emotions in her eyes that were so complicated that he couldn't understand at that time.

She hid it well. At that time, Payne cursed and scolded her. Everyone's attention was focused on this one-sided quarrel.

However, the moment she stared down, he could clearly see the complex emotions in her eyes.

He took a deep look at Leon, pondered for a few seconds, and almost immediately made a decision. He briefly told what had happened in the James Group to Leon.

"I said, I trust her, no matter what others say." Leon did not comment on that and asked indifferently, "Then?" "She thanked me. But I don't want her gratitude. You don't understand. I panicked when she said 'thank you' to me. But I still don't understand why I panicked or even fled at that time," Cayne said with a bitter smile.

Cayne did not notice that Leon quickly hid a trace of pain in his eyes.

Bang! Leon suddenly stood up, his strength so great that the leather sofa was slightly shifted. He stood upright, smiled stiffly, and stared straight at Cayne.

"Listen to me. It's tto let it go." Cayne's eyelids trembled as he opened his mouth to ask why when Leon turned around and strode away.

"No!" Cayne suddenly stood up from the chair, rushed towards Leon's back, and shouted impatiently, "I won't listen to you!" Leon didn't stop. He shook his head, and chuckled with his back towards him.

"Three years ago, I didn't trust her. I thought I knew what kind of woman. she was, and labeled herself-righteously Leon, You Chinese say that if you know you make mistakes, you should correct them. Now, I will no longer label her self-righteously just by my feeling. I trust her no matter what others say!" Leon heard Cayne's firm voice. Leon raised his right foot in mid-air and paused for three seconds. Then he stepped forward and said to Cayne with his back towards him, "You'll know." As for what he would know, Leon did not tell him.

Cayne still didn't understand the complex and mysterious situation just like he did back then.

The corners of Leon's lips curved with bitterness.

"Leon!" Cayne chased after him and shouted anxiously, "Tell me! What will I know? Leon! You must tell clearly before you leave!"

Cayne's anxiety was clearly transmitted to Leon. He stopped om abruptly, turned around and pondered for a moment, but he said, "Cayne, if you insist on lettinggive you a piece of advice. Then I suggest that you apologize to Grace seriously and sincerely. And then you should never visit her again."

Leon ignored the stunned Cayne. He turned around and strode away. Then he disappeared after turning around a corner. Cayne hadn't realized that ve his trust and respect were extremely precious three years ago. It was something that Grace wanted desperately. As for today, after three years, Cayne had done the stupidest thing. He always gave the most important thing at the wrong time. As a result, it becunimportant.
