Grace Clark had no memories of this body, didn’t know this woman at all, nor did he know their relationship. But no matter what their relationship was, as long as he had a little more time, he would be able to obtain Hazel’s ability.

　　With his wrist grabbed by the woman in white, Grace Clark hurriedly said, “Wait a moment, just a second…”

　　However, in the next instant, a tremendous force came from his wrist, and Grace Clark was yanked up by her and dragged out of the room.

　　His hand, which had been holding Hazel’s, was also separated in the next moment.

　　It was like copying a file and reaching ninety-nine percent, only for the USB drive to be ruthlessly pulled out.

　　Inside Grace Clark, the nearly perfected ability completely collapsed and vanished.

　　“No!”

　　Grace Clark roared in grief and anger, but it was useless.

　　He suddenly shook off the woman’s hand and shouted angrily, “What are you doing!”

　　The woman in white hadn’t expected Grace Clark to be able to burst out with such strength, but she didn’t think much of it. She just asked coldly, “That’s what I should be asking you, isn’t it?”

　　Grace Clark asked, “Who are you to me? What right do you have to question me?”

　　There was both anger and inquiry in his words.

　　The woman in white looked at Grace Clark, her already ample chest beginning to rise and fall rhythmically.

　　This kind of person was actually her future brother-in-law?

　　How was he worthy of the Zhao family’s favored daughter?

　　It was one thing in the past—although Grace Clark hadn’t awakened any special abilities nor practiced martial arts, he hadn’t done anything disgraceful either. After all, the engagement was arranged by the elders decades ago. Other than feeling indignant for her sister, she couldn’t really say much.

　　But today, she actually saw Grace Clark visiting a brothel. Even though he was engaged to her sister, he still went to a brothel, and did so in broad daylight, acting as if it was perfectly justified, even pretending not to know her!

　　“You’re still pretending!”

　　Bang!

　　In her anger, she didn’t care that she was wearing a dress and kicked at Grace Clark. After awakening his special ability, Grace Clark’s reflexes had improved a lot. He quickly retreated, and as his gaze inadvertently swept over her, he thought to himself that this beauty really liked the color white.

　　“What are you looking at!”

　　Grace Clark’s gaze didn’t escape the woman in white. She was both embarrassed and angry, immediately putting her leg down and chopping at Grace Clark with a hand strike.

　　She was much faster than before. This time, Grace Clark didn’t dodge in time—he just felt a pain at the back of his neck, his body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.

　　Looking at Grace Clark fainted on the ground, the woman in white’s chest heaved for a long time before her anger gradually subsided. She said coldly, “David Harris, take him back!”

　　No one responded to her words. The woman in white turned her head to look, only to find that David Harris had long since disappeared.

　　She stomped her foot in anger and kicked Grace Clark’s butt a few times, then hoisted him onto her shoulder and strode out of the room.

　　Hazel had been scared silly, sitting blankly at the table. It was the madam at the door who was the first to come to her senses, hurriedly shouting, “He—he hasn’t paid yet!”

　　……

　　When Grace Clark opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was David Harris’s square face.

　　He vaguely remembered that he seemed to have been knocked out by that woman in white.

　　Thinking of that woman, Grace Clark reflexively sat up from the bed, only to fall back down heavily.

　　The pain from his butt made his expression a bit twisted.

　　David Harris quickly said, “Young master, don’t worry, she’s already gone.”

　　Grace Clark clutched his butt, looking a bit flustered, and asked, “What happened after I passed out?”

　　David Harris explained, “Don’t worry, young master. When Second Miss carried you back, your butt was already swollen. I saw it clearly from outside—it was her who kicked it swollen…”

　　Kicked it swollen…

　　Grace Clark let out a sigh of relief, then realized something and looked at David Harris, angrily saying, “You’re my bodyguard, and you just watched her kick me?”

　　David Harris shrank his head back and said helplessly, “But I’m no match for Second Miss either. If I went up, it’d be for nothing. Hiding to the side, I could at least go get help…”

　　Looking at that square face, Grace Clark forcibly resisted the urge to slap him.

　　He had reason to suspect this guy was a spy sent by his enemies to infiltrate the Lin family.

　　But thinking it over, what he said did make some sense. Grace Clark gritted his teeth, deciding to remember this debt for now, and asked, “Who exactly is she?”

　　David Harris said in disbelief, “Young master, you don’t even recognize Second Miss?”

　　Grace Clark shook his head and said, “Didn’t I say? I can’t remember anything.”

　　David Harris came to his senses and immediately explained, “Of course, she’s the Zhao family’s second miss. You and the Zhao family’s eldest miss have been engaged since childhood. By that logic, Second Miss should be your sister-in-law…”

　　Grace Clark was stunned: “What… engagement?”

　　David Harris quickly said, “Don’t worry, young master, I’ll explain everything…”

　　Grace Clark listened in astonishment as David Harris recounted the story.

　　Decades ago, back in the days of the Lin and Zhao families’ grandfathers, the two families were close friends. At that time, to strengthen their bond, they arranged a marriage for the next generation.

　　Unfortunately, the next generation of both families were all boys, so the engagement was passed down to Grace Clark’s generation.

　　Eighteen years ago, the Zhao family had a daughter, and the Lin family had a son. Only then did the engagement set by the previous generation officially take effect.
