But what they could never have known was that Henry Carter's anger and hatred toward them was not because of their previous mockery, but because of their indifference.

“By the way, if one day you feel you have the strength, or the confidence to seek revenge on me, you can come find me. My name is Henry Carter!” In the end, Henry Carter said seriously to Robert Thompson.

Leaving these words behind, Henry Carter, under the fearful and intimidated gazes of everyone, walked over to Grace Walker, took her small hand, and headed out of the hall.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the backs of Henry Carter and Grace Walker, silent, silent, and more silence.

……

Holding Grace Walker's small hand, strolling along the bustling street, Henry Carter walked very slowly.

“Henry Carter, I…” Suddenly, Grace Walker spoke, wanting to say something, but when the words reached her lips, she couldn't say them.

“You want to ask me why I've suddenly changed so drastically?” Henry Carter stopped, looked at Grace Walker, and smiled warmly.

In his previous life, over a hundred years, he had step by step become a Grandmaster of Mystical Qi, a master alchemist, a miraculous doctor who could bring the dead back to life. Countless people respected and feared him.

He possessed strength, status, and wealth beyond imagination… but he had never smiled so genuinely from the heart.

At this moment, Henry Carter smiled with such purity.

“I don't want to ask. As long as I know you are Henry Carter, that's enough!”

“Grace, in this life, no one but me can bully you!” The next second, Henry Carter suddenly hugged Grace Walker tightly.

“You're not allowed to bully me either!” Grace Walker wrinkled her little nose, snorted proudly, and nestled softly in Henry Carter's arms, feeling inexplicably peaceful, warm, and safe.

“Grace, I didn't eat enough at lunch. When we get back, make me some more food! I want mapo tofu, winter melon stewed with pork ribs, and tomato and egg soup!”

“You… didn't you say my cooking isn't very good?” Grace Walker said softly.

“It's delicious, always has been!” Henry Carter said with a wry smile, though his heart ached.

He had indeed said before that Grace Walker's cooking wasn't very good, but in his previous life, after Grace Walker died, he had tasted countless delicacies, yet what he missed most, most, most, was still the home-cooked meals made by Grace Walker.

Sometimes, only after losing something do you realize its value.

In his previous life, he didn't know how blessed he was!!!

“Then, then I'll always cook for you from now on.”

“Let's go home…” Henry Carter let go of Grace Walker and said softly.

“Mm!” Grace Walker's delicate body trembled, and a blush spread across her pure and beautiful face. That word “home” made her feel shy and sweet.

Neither of them suggested taking the bus or a taxi.

They just walked like that.

Before long.

Right at the entrance of a hotel not far from Chengfeng University, Henry Carter suddenly looked up at the hotel's sign, frowned, and remembered something!!!

“Henry Carter, what's wrong?” Grace Walker asked curiously.

“Nothing…” Henry Carter sighed.

Baina Grand Hotel! This was also a place engraved in the deepest part of his memory, a place he could never forget!

In his previous life, he had too many, too many regrets, and had let down too many people.

And among them, the ones he could never let go of the most were three women.

The first, naturally, was Grace Walker; she had almost died because of him.

The second was Alice Parker; he could say he lived because of her.

Alice Parker, a woman so outstanding she made almost all men feel inferior.

She had a beauty that could topple a nation, astonishing talent, and a kind heart.

And his story with her began at the Baina Hotel.

At this moment, holding Grace Walker's hand, Henry Carter shouldn't have been thinking of another woman, but… as they happened to pass the entrance of the Baina Grand Hotel, memories surged like a tide.

In his previous life.

After Grace Walker died, all his thoughts were on revenge. He frantically investigated how Grace Walker had died.

A year later, he found out everything and began to plan his revenge.

Unfortunately, at that time he hadn't started martial cultivation yet; he was just an ordinary person. Seeking revenge was extremely difficult, especially when facing someone like Samuel Bennett, a top young master of Chengfeng City—it was as hard as reaching the sky.

But, heaven helps those who persevere. After a period of tracking, he finally found a good opportunity.

That night, Samuel Bennett attended a charity banquet. His bodyguards weren't with him, and the crowd was a mix of all sorts. Henry Carter slipped in effortlessly.

He carried a fruit knife, and while many young men and women were dancing, he approached Samuel Bennett and, without hesitation, struck with the knife.

The result was obvious—he failed.

He had underestimated Samuel Bennett!!!

A Samuel Bennett who had trained in martial arts for a long time was not someone he, who hadn't yet started cultivating, could kill.

Even though his knife did stab Samuel Bennett, it wasn't enough to take Samuel Bennett's life.

After that, his fate was predictable—his leg was broken, his flesh mangled, and he was left barely alive.

However, just as Samuel Bennett was about to kill him, it was Alice Parker who stepped forward and stopped Samuel Bennett.

He asked Alice Parker why she had stepped in to stop Samuel Bennett from killing him?
