In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 197 Timely Appearance
Xander was the first to react. Without any hesitation, he immediately turned and headed downstairs.Grace was sitting at a table and scrolling through her phone. Just then, a waiter approached her with a tray."Miss, this is a complimentary drink from our bar tonight. Would you like to try it?"Without waiting for Grace to refuse, the waiter placed the drink in front of her.Grace picked up the glass, but before she could take a sip, Xander's voice interrupted her. "Gracie!"His steps were noticeably hurried. With just a few steps, he reached Grace and swiftly took the glass from her hand.Puzzled, Grace looked at him, and their eyes locked.Xander reached out and pulled her close. They seemed quite intimate to onlookers. In truth, he was using this as an opportunity to whisper in her ear, "The drink is spiked."Grace immediately knew what she should do."Where have you been, Xan? Why did you come so late?"Xander affectionately smiled. "I've been here for a while. This bar i

Grace's gaze shifted to Celia, who was beside Wendy in the footage, and she couldn't help but sneer. "Are those two in cahoots now?"Xander also noticed Celia and decided it was time to take a firm stance against her continuous meddling. "Leave this to me."However, Grace interjected, "Since they want to cause trouble for me, let me handle it."Hearing that, Xander agreed. "Alright."Evan immediately caught on and asked, "Ms. Lewis, how do you plan to deal with this? Rest assured. No matter what you choose to do, I'll support you unconditionally."Grace's eyes turned dark as she uttered, "It's simple. Let them have a taste of their own medicine."With those words, she picked up the glass containing the spiked drink. "Since there is some good stuff in here, let's have Wendy try it too." She smirked.Evan understood what she meant. "No problem. Leave it to me."…In the bar area, Wendy couldn't find Grace, so she assumed that her plan had succeeded. Happily, she called over a wa

"Miss, are you feeling unwell?" A waiter approached Celia with concern.Celia rubbed her head and shook it. But when her eyes met the waiter's, the fiery sensation within her intensified.In a daze, she subconsciously moved closer to the waiter. "It's a bit hot."The waiter immediately understood. "There's a hotel next to our bar. Shall I take you there to rest?"Celia nodded, her flushed face growing even hotter. In a semi-conscious state, she followed the waiter and left.Upstairs, Evan's men reported, "Everything is settled, Mr. Martin."Evan looked at Grace and shrugged. "Is there anything else I can do for you, Ms. Lewis?"Grace swirled the drink in her glass, seeming aloof.Smiling, she said, "Thanks, Mr. Martin. Now, let's see how evil their scheme was."Hearing that, Evan couldn't help but shudder.Indeed, the saying was true—never mess with a woman."Mr. Martin, your bar serves good drinks," Grace casually remarked.Raising an eyebrow, Evan replied, "If you like th

"Being merciful to your enemies is being cruel to yourself." That was what Aaron often told Grace."I'll handle the rest. You just focus on preparing for the fashion show," Xander said."Okay."As soon as Grace arrived home, a new hashtag rose to the top of the trending list online. #HeiressDownForAThreesomeMinutes ago, various well-known entertainment media from Pamore had gathered outside Room 888 of a hotel with cameras and microphones aimed at the tightly closed door."I heard that a popular actress is having fun with her new boyfriend inside. Make sure the camera is on target."Another reporter chimed in. "What popular actress? Isn't it a rising star?""Wait. I got news that a popular actress is cheating here."Several reporters had exchanged puzzled glances. Why were the messages they had received different?Regardless, they had been curious about what was going on in the room.Just then, a popular internet celebrity had started a live broadcast. "Hey, guys. Can you gu

Celia had been too agitated, causing the blanket over her to slip off her shoulders. She had ended up exposing her body."Oh my, so alluring! So, this is how heiresses from prestigious families are behind closed doors?""Don't just stand there. Quickly take pictures! These photos alone will sustain us for a lifetime.""The Hawkins family is doomed."Hearing the gossip, Celia had felt like her head was about to explode.What in the world had happened?As she had been caught in the midst of the chaos, she had grown increasingly agitated and fainted.Meanwhile, Wendy had wanted to flee, but she hadn't been able to find her clothes in the room. She had been completely naked, so she had no way of escaping.They had had no choice but to watch as the reporters had continued to take pictures of them.Wendy had known then that she was doomed.However, things hadn't stopped there.Thanks to the internet celebrity's live stream, everything that had happened in the room had been broadca

"Babe, have you seen the news?" Zoey asked on the phone."Yep. You're amazing," Grace responded as she looked at the pictures of Celia and Wendy that were circulating online.She had to admit that the reporter was quite skilled. Every picture was particularly alluring and aroused people's curiosity.Chuckling, Zoey continued, "I've talked to the social media person in charge about this news. It won't be removed from the trending list for at least three days. Since they want to be famous, let them enjoy it this time."There was no denying that Zoey could be really ruthless if she wanted to be.Grace felt extremely grateful to have such a friend on her side. "Thank you, babe. By the way, when are you coming back to Pamore?""I still have some business to attend to in Darai. I'll probably be back by the end of the month. I'll contact you and Emily when I'm back.""Alright. I'm ready to welcome you home anytime."After a brief chat, the two hung up.At the same time, Hawkins Group

"Mom, what should I do? What should I do now?" Celia repeated her question in a crying tone.Feeling sorry for her, Susan tried to console her."It's okay, Cece. Don't worry. I'll send you overseas soon, and you can stay there for a few years. Come back when this matter settles down.""Mom, I don't want to go overseas. No.""But Cece, things have come to this point. There's no other way. Luckily, you've already dropped out of Pamore University. I'll have Ben find you a connection to apply to a foreign university, okay?"Susan sighed. Her eyes welled up with tears.Celia's eyes were already swollen from crying. Suddenly, she stopped and said, "Mom, it's Grace. It must be Grace! She's the one who did this to me."Hearing that, Susan was in disbelief. "What? Grace?"Celia was too preoccupied with her sorrow to think about how things had come to this.As she calmed down and thought back, she realized that it should have been Grace lying in the hotel room.Why had it ended up bein

"I know, Grandma. I'll investigate this matter thoroughly."Elizabeth waved her hand, giving Benjamin the green light to proceed.After receiving her permission, Benjamin turned to Celia.Even though she was crying her heart out at this moment, he had no sympathy for her."Tell me what happened."Celia's crying abruptly stopped, but she couldn't bring herself to speak.She couldn't tell Benjamin the truth. After all, he had warned her not to provoke Grace. Yet she hadn't been able to resist, and look where it had landed her.She truly couldn't face Benjamin or her family.She was also afraid that there would be no place for her left in her family if she told the truth."Mom." Celia could only turn to Susan.However, Susan was also careful of Benjamin and his mood, so she remained silent.Benjamin lost his patience. "Celia, tell the truth."Trembling, Celia said, "Don't be so mad, Ben. I'm the victim now. As my brother, won't you help me get justice?""Enough, Celia." Benja

"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
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,
