In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 158 Complete Disregard
"Grace, I admit I made a mistake in the past. If I had known that I would be engaged to you, I wouldn't have turned it down. "But it's not too late. You're single, and I am too. Whenever you're ready, I can be your choice," Timothy confessed.After saying this, he intended to leave her room.However, Grace stopped him. "Timothy, I hope you understand that you deserve better. There's no need to waste your time on me."He responded, "You'll always be the best in my eyes. Milady, don't feel pressured. "My feelings for you are my own, and whether you choose me or not, it's entirely up to you. I can handle the result, no matter what it is."With those words, Timothy left the office.However, Grace found herself troubled and distracted throughout the entire day because of his words.During this time, she had mainly been friends with Timothy and nothing more.But he was just as determined as a bull, and he wouldn't give up easily.Grace sighed, forcing herself not to dwell on the

Grace recognized Linda and gracefully shook hands with her. "Oh, yes. Hello.""Mr. Fulton speaks highly of you. He mentioned that you are exceptionally beautiful and have a wonderful personality as well. "After meeting you in person, I think you indeed live up to your reputation, Ms. Lewis," Linda expressed with eloquence.Grace was a bit surprised upon hearing this. She turned to look at Xander and said, "I never thought you'd see so many good qualities in me, Xan!""You've always been wonderful," Xander replied affectionately.Grace's lips curled up and formed a lovely smile. "Alright, let's head back. I'm getting hungry!" "Of course," Xander agreed, seemingly in a good mood as well.The three of them descended the stairs together. Linda took the initiative to reach for the driver's seat and got into the car."Ms. Snow, please take us to Lakeside Haven," Xander requested.Linda smiled and replied, "As you wish, Mr. Fulton."The car smoothly drove away. As she watched the

"Those who can stand toe to toe with him are undoubtedly individuals of equal excellence," Linda continued.Grace understood the underlying message in her words.However, she hadn't expected such words to come from an assistant. "Ms. Snow, you're certainly diligent in your work, even showing concern for the boss's personal life. "But I must remind you that your involvement seems a bit too extensive," Grace responded.Linda hadn't anticipated Grace's straightforwardness. Therefore, she had no reason to hide anything. "Ms. Lewis, I'm considering Mr. Fulton's best interests as well. After all, if you and Mr. Fulton were to become a couple, the rumors and gossip wouldn't be pleasant. "Perhaps you wouldn't mind, but what about Mr. Fulton? Do you think he wouldn't mind?" Linda asked.Just as she finished speaking, Xander returned with the pastries.He opened the door and immediately sensed the tension in the car. He looked concernedly at Grace and asked, "What's wrong?"Linda's w

In just a moment, Hestia had made up her mind.However, Linda had no idea what the older woman was thinking. She hurriedly replied, "Mr. Fulton asked me to drive them here."Hestia merely responded with an "oh" and cast a resentful look in Xander's direction. Xander scratched his nose, not understanding why Hestia was looking at him like that. Without further delay, Hestia immediately drove Linda away. "If that's the case, Linda, your task is considered complete. "Since my goddaughter is here today, I won't keep you around for dinner. We'll set up another time for you to visit our home as a guest."Upon hearing that, Linda's expression changed subtly, but she quickly regained her composure. "Sure, Madam Fulton. In that case, I'll head back now."Then, she turned toward Xander. "Mr. Fulton, I'll take my leave then."Xander simply nodded in response.Linda clenched her fists tightly. She was reluctant to leave, but she couldn't find a valid reason to stay right now.After s

Xander understood what Hestia's look meant, but he couldn't shake the feeling that Grace was somewhat distant toward him. It seemed like the path ahead was going to be long and challenging."Oh, by the way, Gracie, I know you're interested in design. Professor Alan Morris from the School of Design at Pamore University is an old classmate of mine. "In a couple of days, he'll be hosting a design exhibition in Pamore. I have an invitation for it. You and Xander can go on my behalf," Hestia offered.A faint, playful smile appeared at the corner of Grace's lips. Her interest was piqued."Sounds good! It's a great opportunity to learn something new," she responded.Hestia's heart leaped with joy as she glanced at Xander, who realized that she was creating an opportunity for him and Grace to spend time together."Sure, let's go together," Xander added.Hestia nodded in satisfaction. "Good. I can rest with both of you going together. But, young man, remember to take good care of Grac

However, Susan still didn't think Grace's presence there mattered. "Alright, don't overthink it. Remember what I told you—just make a good impression on Professor Morris."Meanwhile, Grace had arrived at the exhibition with Xander.The two made a striking pair with their good looks and drew the attention of many.While most people didn't know much about Xander, they had heard quite a bit about Grace through rumors."Ms. Lewis is now divorced, but she seems to be living a luxurious life, and her male companion doesn't look too shabby. He's much better than Mr. Hawkins.""You're right! This man doesn't seem to belong to our circle. Who is this gentleman?""Do you know Futurelink Corporation? That rising conglomerate? That man is the CEO of that company!"The crowd gasped in surprise."No wonder he's with Ms. Lewis. They make a perfect couple!""Indeed, Ms. Lewis is such a fortunate woman! She has a great background, looks beautiful, and is successful. She's done wonders for Amir

"I just took a walk around, and I couldn't find your work. Are you sure you handed it over to Professor Morris?" Susan asked.Celia quickly snapped back to reality. "I submitted it. Maybe it's on the other side. Let me take you there."With that, the two of them headed to the other side of the design exhibition.Meanwhile, Grace remained composed as she was surrounded by people.After a round of interactions, she greeted everyone and then found a couch where she could sit and rest. Xander brought her a glass of champagne and handed it to her. "How's it going? Are you tired?"Grace shook her head. "Not at all."Xander continued, "I just took a look around. There are relatively few design works by Professor Morris himself at today's exhibition. The rest of them are his students' works. "I heard that Professor Morris is planning to retire and is looking to take on a successor, so he's using this opportunity to assess the students' abilities."Grace nodded. "I see. Let's go and

"Ms. Hawkins, there must be a unique design story behind such a remarkable design. Can you share it with us?" someone asked eagerly.Celia smiled gracefully and said confidently, "Actually, this artwork was inspired by a show I attended in France. "It conveyed the independence and intellectual beauty of women. That's why I chose bold color combinations to highlight the essence of femininity. "The details in the cuffs and collars are also meticulously designed. You can see the thought put into the overall concept …"Once Celia finished explaining, those around her couldn't help but offer their appreciation for her work."Wow, Ms. Hawkins, you really have a unique understanding of design. It's no wonder you've produced such an excellent piece. "I'm interested to know if you're currently considering a partnership with a design studio. A designer as exceptional as you would be a valuable addition to our studio."Our company specializes in fashion too. A talented designer like you

"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

"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,
