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
Grace quickly turned away, too shy to look at him. Even though he had made his feelings clear, she still dared not respond to him in the slightest. For a moment, time stood still. After a long pause, Xander took the initiative to reach out and stroke her hair. "You don't have to give me an answer now. Take your time to think it over. I'm not in a hurry." Only then did Grace raise her eyes and look at him.Memories of them together flashed through her mind. Perhaps she would never find someone who treated her as well as he did. "Xander, give me a little more time, okay?" Xander nodded and replied, "Sure." Grace took a deep breath, raised her eyes, and looked toward the distant sky.Even though she had tried hard to forget the past and let go of the obsession in her heart, for some reason, a part of her still missed the passionate young man who had fought for justice on the university campus. Grace couldn't help but think of Benjamin. However, he wasn't the same man
Vivian's expression fell, and she hastily explained, "That's all in the past. She has nothing to do with me now." Grace wasn't an idiot. Vivian's behavior today was a stark contrast to before, and there could only be one reason for such a difference. It was simple. Vivian must have learned about her true identity! Grace laughed, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "Ms. Myers, a mere assistant wouldn't have the guts to do such a thing on her own unless ... she was instructed by someone."Vivian's face turned pale at her words. She still wanted to explain herself. Nevertheless, Grace had no intention of listening to her explanation. "Ms. Myers, spend more time focusing on your work. Stop getting involved in useless matters. Us businesspeople talk by showing results."With that, Grace turned around and left with Xander. She had nothing more to say. Vivian was left standing there, rooted to the spot. Deep down, she regretted everything.… After Amirate Corporation signe
