They met again more than a month later. Grace finished class and walked out of the lecture hall. A group of people were gathered around, and there were bursts of laughter. Soon after, someone attacked her in Eliganese. "You Kidhnian people are especially stupid, acting like dogs." "In the past, you were a weak country, and now you're still a bunch of weaklings." "Even after so many years, you Kidhnians are still beneath us." Grace remained silent when she heard them. She furrowed her eyebrows, and anger boiled within her. Who were these foreigners? How dare they insult her so baselessly? Just as she was about to step forward to argue, she heard the sounds of punches and kicks, accompanied by a man's screams and reluctant shouts."Fuck! How dare you hit me?" Before he could finish, another solid punch landed on him. "That's for you! How dare you insult us? I’ll show you what a true Kidhnian fight looks like!" Benjamin finished speaking and ruthlessly punched the f
Grace's roommates had noticed someone escorting her back and immediately started gossiping. "Who was that guy just now? Is he your boyfriend? He looks so handsome!""Yeah, he's so muscular and hot!" "When did you get a boyfriend? Why didn't I know about this?" Facing a barrage of questions from her roommates, Grace hurriedly explained, "He's not my boyfriend. Don't overthink it." "What! He's not your boyfriend! What's his name? Can you introduce him to me?" This question caught Grace off guard. They had met twice, but she hadn't even asked for his name. "Well, I'll ask him next time and let you know."Her roommates were clearly disappointed, but Grace raised an eyebrow. Thinking she must make things clear next time, Grace eagerly anticipated their next encounter. However, Grace saw him again the very next day. Her roommates pulled her over and asked, "Grace, isn't that the guy who walked you back yesterday? Why is he being taken to the office?"Surprised, Grace fol
Grace smiled and said, "It’s fine. You’re the agent of justice. What they said yesterday was too much. I would have given them a good beating, too." But Benjamin protested, saying, "Women shouldn't dirty their hands by getting violent. Leave it to the men!" Then, he stopped and joked, "I forgot to ask your name. What's your name?" "Grace Lewis." Benjamin nodded. "I’ll remember it."Grace asked, "And you? What's your name? I can't just call you 'hey' whenever I see you." Benjamin laughed and looked at her curiously. "If you want to know my name, meet me at the school's west gate the day after tomorrow at 3:30 pm. I'll tell you then." Grace was annoyed. "What's all the suspense for?" But he waved at her and said, "Don't forget, 3:30 pm the day after tomorrow. See you then!" Grace pursed her lips. She wasn’t happy with it, but she also couldn't help but look forward to it. Time slowly ticked by, and Grace waited patiently for the day to come. She started getting rea
She learned his name from others—Benjamin Hawkins. Since then, his name had been like a spell deeply engraved in her heart. It also became her nightmare. What happened next seemed to be fate. She accidentally saved Benjamin's grandmother.Upon learning that Elizabeth was looking for a wife for Benjamin, Grace volunteered without hesitation and became Mrs. Hawkins. Three years of married life played out in her mind like a movie, and the chaotic memories constantly reminded her of her initial mistake. However, she had spent three years without understanding why Benjamin couldn't remember her. Grace's eyelashes fluttered, then she slowly opened her eyes.The smell of disinfectant filled her nose, and she gradually woke up. It turned out that it had all been a dream. "Gracie, you're awake." She heard a pleasantly surprised voice beside her. She smiled faintly at Xander. "Xander, what happened to me?" "You've been unconscious for three days. You scared us. Fortunately,
On the day Grace was discharged, Xander gave her a large bouquet. "Gracie, I hope you stay healthy and happy every day from now on." Grace accepted it with a smile. "Thank you, Xander!" Caleb also walked over with a smiling face, his gaze lingering on the two. "I must say, Gracie, you scared us this time. You don't know how bad the situation was that day. It's all thanks to Xander. He found Dr. Henry, who brought you back from the brink of death. We need to thank him." At the mention of Henry, Caleb realized that he had disappeared since Grace's surgery. He couldn't help but ask, "Where's Dr. Henry? Why haven't we seen him?" Xander explained, "He went on vacation. He's always hard to find. Don't worry about him." "Anyway, he's my lifesaver, so we must thank him properly someday," Grace said earnestly. Xander nodded. "I'll arrange a meeting next time."They left the hospital room. A few moments later, they stopped in their tracks. They saw Benjamin standing up slowl
Caleb and Xander remained silent as they approached her. Caleb simply said, "Get in the car." Grace got into the car, and they drove away. She gazed out of the car window. She was filled with an inexplicable sense of sadness inside. Of course, she felt sad. She had spent five years yearning for Benjamin. Those had been vital years of her life.However, Grace was willing to let go since she had tried her best. She had once been filled with passion and recklessness. It was a pity that things had ended in regret. After a pause, Grace looked away and asked, "Where are the people who drugged me?" Caleb cleared his throat and said, "Why do you ask? Aaron will handle it. You shouldn't get involved." But Grace insisted, "I want to see them." Caleb and Xander exchanged glances. Xander said, "Aaron has them under his watch now. You have to get his permission if you want to see them."Grace took out her phone to make a call, but Caleb stopped her, saying, "Gracie, you're so stub
The note read, "You won't get anything from me! My life is worthless. It doesn't matter if you kill me." Grace tore the paper apart, sneering, "You think you're tough! Do you think I can't find out? The men remained unmoved. Grace spoke up. "Pamore, Max Stiller." One name sent them into a puddle of confusion, and the men seemed nervous. Grace narrowed her eyes and said, "I guess I was right.""No, this has nothing to do with Max. We didn't like you and wanted to shut you up." Grace didn't believe their excuses. "It's a bit late for all this now," Grace said, already standing up with her back to them, her tone cold. "If you're acting worthless, we'll treat you like trash!" "Yes, ma'am." Grace finished speaking and left without looking back, and the others began to plead desperately when they realized Grace was serious. "Ms. Lewis, spare us." "We were wrong." "We won't do it again." "Please, give us a chance."But Grace said nothing and ignored them, walking
However, as soon as Vivian spoke, she saw the live broadcast in the office. Her eyes widened in shock, and she stood there dumbfounded. "How ... how is this possible?" Vivian murmured to herself, her face filled with disbelief. It turned out that Grace was the heiress of the Lewis family. That meant that Vivian offended someone she shouldn't have. She felt so regretful that she wanted to pop some pills to calm herself down.Seeing this, Kenneth snapped, "Look at what you've done. Our partnership with Amirate Corporation has fallen through. Do you know how much the company will lose?" Vivian shivered. However, she wasn't thinking about the company's losses, but Grace. She had offended Grace. If Grace wanted to settle the score in the future, it would be as easy as crushing an ant. "Mr. Williams, Gina was the one that caused this. It has nothing to do with me. Now that Gina has been fired, please calm down." Kenneth sighed helplessly upon hearing this.Now that things hav
