In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 125 Public Statement
There were even people who went to Amirate Corporation's official Twitter account to leave comments. There were all kinds of opinions, and the incident received an unprecedented level of attention.At this time, the Quines held a press conference and invited reporters from all the renowned media companies in Pamore. At the press conference, Yvonne wept as she accused Grace of various crimes. She even revealed every detail about being pushed, and her words created an uproar."Ms. Quine, is what you're saying true? Did Ms. Lewis really cause your miscarriage?"Yvonne nodded while she wiped away her tears."Grace pushed me and made me fall down, which was why I miscarried! The doctor told me just now that because the fetus was already too big, the damage done to my body is irreparable. I may never be a mother again …"Yvonne burst into tears loudly.Everyone felt compassion for the weak. At her words, the reporters at the scene began to feel sympathetic toward her. "Don't be t

"We are responding to the false reports about Ms. Lewis online. From the beginning to the end, Ms. Lewis never hurt anyone. "The truth of this matter was investigated thoroughly by the legal authorities, and evidence was collected according to the law. "As for the false accusations made by Quine Group, we reserve the right to take legal action."Once the statement was released, the tide of public opinion turned immediately. "The Quines tried to pull one over on everyone and ended up sabotaging themselves.""Anyone can see that this incident has nothing to do with Grace. They were just trying to put the blame on her! Now the joke is on them!""They even had the audacity to say that they wouldn't press charges! That's an obvious sign of a guilty conscience!""The Quines really are shameless!"But this wasn't the end. Just as the discussions online were in full swing, a voice recording was posted online. It was the conversation between Richard and Grace on the hospital roofto

"Why does Grace seem to have a good life?" Samuel was feeling cynical. Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined that Quine Group, one of the leading estate companies in Pamore, would disappear in just a few days. All of this was inextricably linked to Grace. "Mr. Walker, I think that Ms. Lewis is very bold. Your bet with her—"Samuel scolded him at once. "Shut up! She's a mere woman who wants to make it in this dog-eat-dog business world. She can keep dreaming! "Even if she's taken over Quine Group, it's still nothing compared to how huge Amirate Corporation is. Of course it's even more insignificant compared to 30%!"Despite his words, Samuel's gaze darkened. No matter what, he couldn't lose this bet. Grace had better watch out. …Within a week, Quine Group declared bankruptcy.However, a mysterious person had quietly acquired what was left of Quine Group and invested a lot of funds in it. Within half a month, a new company called Futurelink Corporation rapidly rose

"Three days from now, the Futurelink Corporation will have its grand opening reception. All the top companies in Pamore are invited, including us."Grace looked at the gold-embossed invitation, her eyes resting on the letters "FL". Futurelink Corporation's actions have recently garnered a lot of attention. Now it was having its grand opening reception, which was sure to be very lively. Perhaps it could even use this as a chance to get some new business for the company. "Okay. Put it on my schedule. I'll be there on time.""Yes, Ms. Lewis."Grace took out her phone and called Emily. "Babe, I've got to attend a reception three days from now. Please choose a gown for me from your shop!""Are you referring to the Futurelink Corporation grand opening reception?"Grace raised her eyebrows. "You've heard about it too?""Yes! I've already gotten several orders for the reception. But don't worry. I'll save the best we have for you. You'll be the belle of the ball!" "Thank you, but I

Grace styled her purple gown with ten-inch high heels, and she exuded charisma. She was stunning to begin with, but the gown accentuated her perfect curves further. As soon as she appeared, she captured everyone's attention."Wow! That's the heiress of the Lewis family. She's gorgeous, and she has such a great figure! She must be the object of everyone's envy here!""Exactly! Her gown is so chic! I wonder which designer made that haute couture gown. It looks amazing on her!""Benjamin must be blind! How could he cast aside such a gorgeous woman to fool around with someone like Yvonne? He must be dying with regret now.""You don't say! By the way, Mr. Hawkins is here today too …"The crowd exchanged glances, smiling, and looked over at Benjamin. From the moment Grace entered, Benjamin's eyes had never left her. She was too beautiful today—so beautiful that nothing else could compare to her."Mr. Hawkins!" Larry broke Benjamin out of his daze."I went to ask around, and there'

"No way, Cece! Don't tell me that you've already gotten acquainted with this mysterious president?""Girl, if you are, then you really hid it well!""Hurry up and tell us, what does this mysterious president look like? Is he handsome?"Celia looked into their eager eyes and felt her ego inflate. Although she had never seen this person, in her mind, she had already pictured his perfect profile. After all, a man with such a background and such strong skills couldn't be ugly. Therefore, she said shamelessly, "I won't hide it from you. In actual fact, we met ages ago!"Upon hearing this, all her lackeys exploded. "Wow, Cece, you're amazing!""The Hawkins heiress really is different from everyone else. You get all the firsthand resources. To think that in the whole of Pamore, you're probably the only person who's seen his real face!" "That's right! Cece, quick, tell us. What kind of person is this mysterious president?"Celia was encouraged by their praise and didn't even blin

Celia spoke agitatedly, but Grace merely smiled lightly and asked, "Do you think I need to climb the social ladder?"It was a simple but lethal sentence. "She's the heiress of the Lewis family, one of the richest families in the world. She's also the current president of Amirate Corporation …" Celia's lackey said sourly. With that kind of family background, Grace was in a league of her own. If there was going to be any social climbing, Grace had set the standard people aspired to be!Celia's expression darkened at once. Grace looked at her with a smile playing on her lips. Immediately after that, she said, "It looks like there's someone else who's trying to climb up the social ladder. However, it might not be that easy." Celia burst out in anger. "Grace, you were abandoned by my brother. You have no right to talk nonsense here. Watch out, or I'll rip your mouth apart."Grace was impassive as she watched Celia get mad. In her eyes, Celia was a complete and utter clown. "

She was beating around the bush, but only Celia knew how guilty she felt at that moment. When Grace heard the emcee say Xander's name, she looked slightly surprised, but only for a moment. She thought of Hestia's call the other day.There had been so many clues leading up to this!She smiled gracefully and lifted her wine glass to her lips, downing it at once. At that moment, everyone was craning their necks eagerly in one direction. As everyone waited in anticipation, a tall figure walked toward them step by step. He strode confidently, his face in the shadows, as he was walking against the light. The crowd could only see his face clearly once he walked onto the stage and the lights shone on him. The man was dressed in a purple suit that made him look very tall. He had refined features, a unique charisma, and a commanding air that drew gasps of admiration from those around him with a single glance. "Oh my, this man is so handsome! He's so handsome that I could die!""He

"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

"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

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

"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

"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,
