In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 188 Can We Still Be Friends
The woman stepped on the gas pedal. She had a wild impulse to destroy Grace. If only Grace disappeared from this world, then she would be the chief designer for Pamore's fashion show, without question. That way, no one would be able to take that position from her anymore. May gripped the wheel tightly. Right at that moment, a Bentley suddenly stopped in front of Grace's car, and May abruptly stopped driving as well.Benjamin had asked Larry to check Grace's whereabouts, and he had sped all the way here. Once he parked the car, he hurriedly opened the door and got out. Grace frowned. Benjamin was like a piece of gum that she couldn't get rid of. "Grace!" The moment he saw her, Benjamin's emotions flooded out. He really wanted to make it up to her. He wanted to compensate her for the wrongs he had committed in the past. "Mr. Hawkins, do you have a lot of free time?" Grace's tone was frivolous. She didn't really want to give him any attention. Benjamin pressed his

Benjamin stood stiffly where Grace had left him, feeling like there was a chill piercing through him. Did this mean that she wasn't even going to give him a chance? Benjamin felt like things had completely gone out of control. It seemed that he would never be able to catch her. He felt inexplicably anxious. At that moment, May drove past him in her car. Benjamin turned and frowned. He watched May leave in the same direction as Grace, and for some unknown reason, his heart did a somersault in his chest. He had a bad feeling about this. Without any hesitation, he followed them in his car. Meanwhile, Grace called Emily while she drove. "Babe, my design draft was passed! I got the position of chief designer for this year's fashion show. It's going to be held in Pamore!" When Emily heard this, she was filled with joy. "Congratulations, babe! Shall we celebrate tonight?" Grace said hurriedly, "I'm meeting Xander tonight." "Wow! What is this? Hurry up and tell your best

"Benjamin …" Grace shouted loudly in a hoarse voice. No matter how much she shouted, Benjamin didn't react at all. In the driver's seat of the Volkswagen, May was also shocked by this sudden turn of events. She hadn't expected someone to come out of nowhere and save Grace with no regard for their own life. But right now, she couldn't stay here. Without hesitation, May spun the steering wheel quickly, even though her car was severely damaged. She left the scene at a high speed. Grace forced herself to calm down and called emergency services. "Hello, 911? There's been a car accident here, just along Pamore Main Road …" As she looked at the unconscious Benjamin, her hands shook. The ambulance came very quickly and took Benjamin to the hospital urgently.In the hospital corridor, Grace gradually calmed down and called Luke. "Luke, I got into a car accident." Luke immediately became alarmed. "Are you okay? Where are you? I'll come over right away." "There's no need …"

"The patient has an external injury on his forehead where he got cut by glass. We've already treated and bandaged it. He also has a second-degree concussion, but other than that, there aren't any big problems."Upon hearing this, Grace breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, Benjamin was fine. "Thank you, doctor. My son is fine! He's fine." Susan thanked him profusely, feeling like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders. "The patient is awake. We'll be shifting him to a ward soon.""That's good. That's good."After the doctor left, the nurses wheeled Benjamin out of the operation theater.There were bandages wrapped around his head and a few dried streaks of blood on his face. He didn't look as refined as he usually did. Susan dashed over, almost in tears. "Ben, are you alright?"Celia, who had remained quiet until then, also said in concern, "Ben, you scared us! Good thing you're alright."Benjamin looked at them. He comforted them. "I'm alright. Don't worry."Susa

He had thought that their relationship would become less tense after this incident. However, Grace just took a check out of her pocket. Benjamin's face darkened. "What do you mean by this?"Grace raised her eyebrows. "A new Bentley only costs 5 million dollars. The remaining balance is just to express my gratitude to you, Mr. Hawkins."Benjamin was furious. 20 million dollars? She was just throwing money at him. He had only done what he did out of a basic instinct to protect her. That was all. Why did it seem so different in her eyes? Seeing his grim expression, she remained silent. Grace continued, "20 million dollars should be enough. If you don't think it's enough, just tell me a number.""Grace! What do you think of me?" Benjamin looked angry. He was still a patient. Didn't she care about the relationship between them? Susan and Celia were watching beside them, flabbergasted. Was 20 million dollars nothing to Grace? There was even a hint of envy in their

What Benjamin had done today couldn't erase how much he had hurt Grace in the past. "If you have so much time on your hands, then read more books and gossip less. Mind your own business!" Grace snapped at Frederick in a hostile tone.Her stance was clear. Frederick laughed awkwardly. "Alright then, let me go and see how Ben is."With that, he escaped as soon as possible. When Grace came out from the hospital, she got a call from Luke. "I've checked the car. The owner of the Volkswagen is May Elliot, and she was the one driving the car today."Upon hearing that name, Grace snorted. "Her target must have been me." "Yes, Ms. Lewis. But it doesn't seem like a premeditated crime. It seems as if she just committed a crime on the spur of the moment."Grace pressed her lips together. "Who else does she have in her family?""I've also checked that and found that she's an orphan. She grew up in the orphanage, and after that she got into Pamore University based on her own ability.

Grace responded with a soft hum."Damn it, did he suddenly grow a conscience? Even if he did, you're not going to forgive him that easily, are you?"Grace shook her head slightly. "I've repaid the favor."That statement piqued Emily's curiosity."How? Did you offer your body or something? Let me tell you. If you dare to forgive that guy or even reconcile with him, I ... I'll crash my head into a pillow."Grace quickly grabbed her. "Hey."Seriously, she continued, "I told you that I'm over him. I won't make the same mistake again."Emily believed her words. "That's good. Forget about him. Let me take you out to have some fun."However, Grace remembered that she had a date with Xander. "I can't. I have plans with Xander.""Tsk, tsk. You only have Xander on your mind. Why not ask him to join us?"Grace hesitated for a moment. "Let me ask him.""Come on! Why do you need to ask? Just send him a location. I'll teach him a lesson if he doesn't show up."Emily's words rendered Grac

"She's something. Normal people can't do anything to her." Celia didn't want to provoke Grace. If Benjamin found out, she might not be able to stay in Pamore any longer.Yet Wendy was itching for revenge.She said, "If it hadn't been for her, I wouldn't have lost my job. Now I'm jobless, hanging out in bars every day. Don't you think she's detestable?"Celia nodded in agreement, but she didn't say much. She knew she couldn't get involved in Wendy's feud with Grace."Wendy, if you hate her so much, why don't you teach her a lesson?"Hearing that, Wendy smiled, and her expression changed. Instead of responding to Celia, she said, "You also hate her, don't you?"Celia shook her head. "Even if I hate her, I can't do anything about it. I can only hate her in my heart."Wendy scoffed. "Are you so timid, or are you afraid you can't beat her?"Her words provoked Celia and stirred her anger.Despite having gone against Grace so many times, she had never won once. Deep down, she felt re

"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

"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,
