In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 115 The Rumors Were Wrong
A sly smile tugged at the corner of Grace's lips as she said, "It seems you aren't too pleased to see me." Despite her words, she couldn't resist stepping inside.The situation became somewhat awkward, as Samuel hadn't expected to be caught off guard by Grace. However, he was a seasoned player and quickly regained his composure."Ms. Lewis, why would you say that? I wholeheartedly welcome you," he said, getting up from his seat to make room for her.After taking a seat, Grace's eyes met Benjamin's for a moment. It seemed as though a spark had been ignited.She raised an eyebrow and broke the silence. "Coincidentally, Mr. Hawkins is here too. It seems like I've interrupted something.""It's not an interruption. We were just talking about you. Little did we know that you would become Amirate's president as soon as you left Hawkins Group."Director Walker was just praising you, saying that your exceptional abilities could increase the board's performance by 30% in a year. Isn't

Grace smiled sincerely and said, "No matter what, I owe you a favor for today. If you ever need my assistance in the future, feel free to ask."Albert nodded slightly but gave her a subtle reminder. "Director Walker isn't as simple as he appears. "He's been doing business for many years, and his connections and scheming go beyond our understanding. You should be more cautious in the future.""Alright, I'll be more careful."Albert fixed his gaze on her and noticed some stray strands of hair near her ear. He reached out, as if to help her fix it."Mr. Barnes!" Benjamin's voice interrupted his movement.Albert smiled faintly, retracting his hand from mid-air. Then, he turned to Grace and said, "A few strands of your hair were loose.""What?" Her reaction was slightly delayed.On the other hand, Benjamin had walked to stand beside her, blocking Albert from her view."I've heard that Mr. Barnes is planning to marry Ocean Group's heiress. Allow me to extend my congratulations in

Meanwhile, a series of crashing sounds filled a private room in Aroma Restaurant as Samuel angrily destroyed everything in the room."You little brat! How dare you act so arrogantly in front of me?" He furiously kicked a chair, sending it crashing onto the ground.He narrowed his eyes. He couldn't let things go on like this. If he gave up now, he might be under Grace's control forever, with no chance to rise above.He took out his phone and made a call. "I don't care what methods you use, but I want Grace to be humiliated and kicked out of Amirate Corporation."After hanging up the phone, he was about to leave when he heard a knock on the door."Who's there?" he asked cautiously.The next moment, the door was opened."Mr. Walker, our chairman requests your presence."Samuel was puzzled. "Who is your chairman?""Richard Quine."Samuel was familiar with the name, but he had no dealings with Richard. "What does Mr. Quine Senior want from me?""You'll find out when you see h

Benjamin looked where Frederick was pointing and saw a familiar figure. Even if she were reduced to ashes, he would still recognize her. Hadn't she left with Albert? How could she be here?Grace's dancing was undeniably enchanting. The moment she appeared, she had captured everyone's attention. In just a short time, she had become the center of attention in the entire bar.Her smile was bright and exuberant, exuding an undeniable, self-assured radiance. Her beauty was otherworldly, causing Benjamin's heart to palpitate incessantly.This was a side of her that he had never seen before. He had never known that she could smile so gracefully.Benjamin's emotions were in turmoil. He emptied his glass of wine in one gulp. The restraint he had maintained earlier was gone now. Without hesitation, he set down the glass and walked toward Grace."Wow! Grace, you're simply stunning!" Emily couldn't help but whistle.Amidst the music, she added, "Bringing you out tonight was definitel

At the same time, at the entrance of the bar, Celia tried calling Benjamin on her phone, but he didn't answer. A slender figure beside her asked urgently, "Are you sure your brother is here?"Celia nodded repeatedly and said, "Yvonne, there's no mistake. My brother is definitely here."The person who had arrived was Yvonne.Before this, Richard had sent her to jail, and the Quine family had completely abandoned her. The Lewis family had submitted a whole lot of evidence and was now waiting for the court to conduct a trial. However, Yvonne's situation was unique—she was pregnant. Hence, she had been granted bail.She had called Benjamin and sent him messages, wanting to meet him, but he had never agreed to meet her. She'd had no other choice but to find a way to sneak out of the hospital.Celia had informed her that Benjamin was at Halo Bar, so she had come here."Yvonne, let's go inside."Celia led Yvonne through the bar. Yvonne's heart came to life in the lively atmos

The music in the bar subsided due to the cry for help."Someone, help! Save my baby!"Grace watched this scene in disbelief. This wasn't the first time that Yvonne had pulled such an act. Was she addicted to acting now?Not far away, Benjamin saw this unfold. His eyes gradually darkened as he strode over to where Yvonne had fallen.At this moment, he didn't have time to question why she was here. Yvonne tightly grasped his hand, her face contorted in pain."Benjamin, save me! Save our baby!""Ben, it's all Grace's fault for pushing Yvonne down. That's why she's in this state," Celia accused Grace.However, Benjamin remained unresponsive. It didn't appear as if Yvonne was acting. Hence, he reached out and held her. The next moment, his hand touched something, and he felt a damp sensation."It's blood! Ben, Yvonne is bleeding!" Celia exclaimed, causing the people around her to panic."What are you all waiting for? Call 911!" Someone in the crowd shouted, and everyone too

"If that's the case, then let's call the police!" Richard spoke, glaring sharply at Celia with eyes like an eagle's. "Since Ms. Hawkins said she saw it with her own eyes, then I'm sure she won't let Yvonne be wronged. Ms. Hawkins, I hope that you can testify and speak truthfully about what you saw."Celia hesitated. "I …" She bit her lip. She had originally planned to testify, but after seeing Benjamin's expression, she could only swallow her words. She changed her tune. "The lights were dim. I may not have seen things clearly."She had actually changed her statement in front of Richard! Celia's heart was thumping rapidly, as if it were about to jump out of her throat. Richard said coldly, "Ms. Hawkins, I just need you to tell the truth. Why are you being like this?"Celia lowered her gaze and looked at Benjamin for help. Richard's eyes gradually darkened. He had never imagined that, even at this time, Benjamin would still protect Grace. He used his authority as the most

Yvonne said in a determined voice, "Benjamin, I know that you may still have some sentiments toward her. After all, you were married for three years. "But she's a cruel woman, and she's the one who pushed me. She killed our baby!""Alright," Benjamin said impassively. "Since you say that she pushed you, then let's call the police. Let the police come and investigate it thoroughly, and we'll make sure to speak only according to the truth."Benjamin got up to leave after saying this. But at that moment, the door to the hospital room swung open. Grace was standing in the doorway, her arms folded. "Grace, how dare you come here?"Yvonne lost it the moment she saw Grace, and she shouted at her angrily. Grace ignored her and said, "I heard everything you said just now. I just want to ask Ms. Quine—did everything really happen the way you said?""Grace, you bitch! You killed my baby!"Grace's eyes darkened, but she still said, "Ms. Quine, you should watch what you say. Even a t

"Well, it's just that since Mrs. Jarvis introduced me to Ms. Lewis last time, I haven't had the chance to say thanks."The elevator doors opened then, and Dexter left after saying this.…After two hours of emergency treatment, Diana clung to a thread of life. Grace walked out, exhausted, and saw the angry figure of Dexter.Coincidentally, Dexter saw her as well. He turned and called out to her, "Ms. Lewis."Dexter, known for being stern and upright, suddenly smiled, which surprised Grace. "Mr. Hamilton.""You don't need to address me like that outside of work. Just call me by my name."As he had a higher seniority than her, Grace didn't dare be casual. "Are you here visiting a patient?"The weather was nice today. Standing in the sunlight, Grace's complexion was shining, seemingly hovering between youthfulness and freshness. She seemed even more beautiful than the flowers.Dexter suddenly recalled something Orson had said, and his expression darkened momentarily."I must ask
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 829: Not Reporting to the Police
"Mr. Fulton, this.."The guard looked hesitantly at Benjamin lying on the ground and frowned."Isn't this a hospital? He won't die."As Xander said this, he coincidentally met the gaze of a nearby doctor. The doctor flinched and instinctively took a step back."Xander—" Benjamin's call suddenly came from behind as Xander took a step forward."Even if you deal with me, can you handle Alexander?"Benjamin's voice was filled with resentment and self-mockery. He lay flat on his back on the ground, staring at the ceiling. "My elder brother seems to avoid fighting, but if he does, you're no match for him."Xander paused momentarily, then continued to walk away without looking back or responding.Hazel followed closely. "Benjamin doesn't seem to be joking. Could there be a backup plan?""Someone needs to take over to completely deal with the Hawkins family. Let's see if the eldest son of the Hawkins family is willing to step up."As Xander entered the elevator, he coincidentally met
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 828 Keeping His Name In Prayers
At the entrance, the police saw what was happening and moved to intervene but were stopped. A signal to hold back was given. "Don't worry. Mr. Fulton won't cause any fatalities.""Especially since you dared to make a move against Grace." Xander gave a cold laugh. "She spent a few days in prison, so I'll make sure you repay that a thousand times over.""Xander—"Grace brought this on herself. She even dared to investigate the Hawkins family, to dig into the past of the previous Mrs. Hawkins, to investigate Alexander!" Benjamin endured the pain he felt and was on the verge of a breakdown. "By the way, do you know who Alexander is? And the person he loves the most."Xander's face turned ashen, and he applied more force, causing Benjamin to scream in agony."If you were in my position, you would do the same." Benjamin struggled to speak. "Besides, don't you want Alexander to disappear? Don't you want Grace to be yours and only yours?"Xander remained silent, looking around disdainful
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 827 Not As Soft-hearted
A commotion broke out again outside the hospital room. At the same moment, the medical equipment started beeping urgently. Reina's face turned pale with fright as she threw herself onto Diana. "Di Di! Doctor! Someone come quickly!"In a panic, Grace rushed out and pounded on Cael's office door. "Bed 24, Dr. Simpson! Di Di is not doing well!"Cael immediately hurried over with the nurses.Grace was pushed into a corner by the crowd. She leaned against the wall, her face filled with melancholy. This scene did not escape the eyes of someone hidden in a corner, who also felt a sense of wistfulness.She didn't notice the figure cast long shadows in the light, with her being the sole focus in their view.…Meanwhile, in another building, police stood guard at the hospital room door where Benjamin was confined. His face was haggard and unshaven, and he no longer looked like the well-dressed Benjamin Hawkins.Instead, he resembled a prisoner.Before entering, Xander asked, "What's the
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 826 Willing to Testify
"If it were as usual, working for these wealthy families would keep money in my hands. But after Di Di's incident, our whole family got crushed. Her father wanted to give up, but I couldn't, so we divorced.""When I worked at the Hawkins family, both Mr. Hawkins and Mrs. Hawkins treated me well. Mrs. Hawkins knew about Di Di's situation and kept giving me money, but it was never enough. One day, I accidentally stumbled upon Mr. Hawkins having an affair with Susan…"Reina recalled the past with a look of melancholy on her face. "Susan gave me hush money and promised another payment if I did something for her."Grace had a hunch after hearing this. "She wanted you to frame Mrs. Hawkins, who was pregnant at the time.""I didn't want to." Reina shook her head, clearly pained. "But I have a daughter. I couldn't lose Di Di. I needed that money."Even as a mother herself, she could actually harm Felicia Wilson, Alexander's mother."The Hawkins family is wealthy. If you had told Mrs. Haw

Grace thought about it. So that's what happened."So you had someone beat him up?""I forgot to ask. Which hand did he touch you with?" Xander asked seriously.She thought for a moment. "The left hand? I can't remember exactly.""No problem. Both hands were hit," Xander said casually as if discussing the weather. Grace remembered the content of that video. Orson was clearly heavily injured and beaten mercilessly.Luckily, he got what he deserved. Xander had fiercely avenged her.The coat slipped off, revealing her outfit for the day. Xander glanced at it and said, "You're going out."Grace didn't deny it. She thought of today's matter with Celia. "Benjamin was released for medical treatment. I want to see him."Since it had come to this point, a meeting with him was reasonable.Xander leaned back on the couch, not speaking for a moment, his jaw clenched tight. He seemed to be contemplating something, or perhaps he was angry.Grace couldn't be sure, but she was resolute. "I

An hour later, Xander concluded the negotiations, with the partnership successfully sealed and the contract signed that day.He personally escorted the clients to the elevator and then returned to his office. Hazel approached cautiously with a cup of coffee. "Mr. Fulton.""Speak." Xander didn't look up from his documents."Ms. Lewis came by."He looked up at Hazel, his expression shifting. "Where is she?""She wanted to see you directly, but since the contract wasn't finalized, I didn't dare let her in to disturb you, so I…""I asked where she is."His gaze was icy, cutting her off mid-sentence.Hazel immediately lowered her head. "She's in the lounge."He stood up abruptly and headed straight for the lounge, leaving a stern warning, "If you take matters into your own hands again, resign."Hazel was left stunned.Grace hadn't left. Exhausted from the sleepless night, she lay on Futurelink's large couch, lost in thought.When Xander entered, he saw her fragile figure, as if
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 823 No Longer Under Fulton Group
"What is it?""Ms. Lewis, I just received news that Orson from the municipal bureau is in trouble…"Grace's expression changed. She had just seen him last night. How could something have happened so suddenly? Her first thought was of Xander.Luke sent her a video.It was night time In the video, the street outside a bar was brightly lit, and neon signs flashed from the tall buildings. The place was bustling with people. The videographer had been capturing the night scene when suddenly, the sound of roaring engines was heard—Orson stepped out of a car, dressed formally, and entered a club discreetly. But within minutes, he was kicked out, landing heavily on the ground.Approaching him were five or six masked men in black, clearly part of an organized group of thugs. Orson screamed in fear, "Who are you?"Two men grabbed him, while the others began beating him badly. His screams echoed through the street, and it was clear they were showing no mercy.Blood pooled on the ground.

With nothing better to do, Grace nodded. "Let's watch."Caleb led her out the door.The leading actress of the film they were heading to was a friend of Caleb's in the industry, which allowed him to visit the set under the guise of catching up. As their car parked at the entrance, they saw a throng of reporters pushing their way inside.Celia wore a hat and mask. She was dragging a suitcase, and she looked disheveled and desperate. "You can't fire me! I'm the second female lead! The film is almost finished! You're breaching the contract!""You caused a scandal. That's the real breach of contract. It's a good thing we're not asking you for damage compensation! Get out, get out!"The staff were shoving her out.Reporters swarmed her. "Celia, how do you respond to the video online?""Is it true you have a sugar daddy?""Celia, Celia!""Shut up!" Celia screamed, her hair a mess. "It's fake, all fake! I'm an actress, how could I do such things?""But the video…"Celia lashed out,
