"A watch worth hundreds of thousands of dollars has a two-million-dollar bid? This is unbelievable.""Look at who bid for it. That's Ms. Lewis.

"This young lady has bid three million dollars!"Without hesitation, Grace raised her paddle again. "Five million dollars.""Wow! Am I hearing correctly? A watch being sold for this much is outrageous!""Even if she's rich, she shouldn't waste it like this.""What do you know? It's all for a good cause, and donating more is a kind gesture."Puzzled, Xander looked at Grace and whispered, "I think that's enough."Although he didn't understand why she was bidding so much for the watch, it was clear that the current price far exceeded its actual value.Yet Gra

Ignoring Sherry, Grace took out her card.But as she was about to hand it over to the staff, Xander took a step ahead and said, "Use this one."Grace quickly refused. "No, Xan. Just use mine."Yet he smiled and replied, "You don't need to be so polite with me. Consider this dress a gift from me, wishing for your career to flourish and for your fashion show to be a massive success.""What?" Grace was surprised.She wanted to say something, but Xander didn't give her a chance to refuse.

In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 211 Thank You for Giving Up
Benjamin struggled to restrain his emotions.Yet he maintained a calm facade and changed the topic. "This bodycon dress is nice."Grace sensed his interest in the dress and asked, "Are you interested in this dress too, Mr. Hawkins?"Benjamin didn't explain much. He simply said, "Everyone likes nice things, don't they?"Hearing that, Grace noticed that he seemed to be implying something but didn't dwell on it. "Well, thank you for giving up, Mr. Hawkins." With that said, she turned to leave.Benjamin didn't say anything else and just watched her walk away.The next moment, Sherry, who was standing nearby, shamelessly approached him. "Mr. Hawkins, can you lend me three million dollars?"When Benjamin turned around and saw her eager face, a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes. "I've never had the habit of lending money to others."Sherry was embarrassed to receive such a clear refusal. But now, she had no way to get ten million dollars. In the end, she was forcefully kicked out by

It wasn't until the rehearsal day before the fashion show that Grace heard about the sponsorship from Emily."Babe, I heard that Hawkins Group is sponsoring this venue. Benjamin will also attend tomorrow's fashion show and give the opening speech."Grace was surprised. "When did Hawkins Group start doing charity?"Emily bluntly pointed out, "It's definitely because of Celia's incident last time. It had a certain impact on Hawkins Group's reputation. They must be doing all of this to restore their image."Grace just acknowledged it with an "oh" and didn't take it seriously. As the chief designer, her task was to ensure that all the outfits were smoothly showcased in the fashion show."Babe, do you think Benjamin intentionally joined this event because he knows you're the chief designer?"Although Emily didn't know it, she had hit the nail on the head. "You're overthinking, Emily."Grace knew Benjamin better than anyone.He had never cared about anything related to her. So how

Grace remained indifferent. "Mr. Hawkins, I'm not the person you should be seeing. Yvonne is still in prison. If you have time, go visit her."As the name came up, Benjamin's expression changed. "Don't mention her."However, Grace smiled. "What's wrong, Mr. Hawkins? Did your first love turn into a nightmare?"Benjamin suppressed the anger within him. "Grace, things between me and her are not what you think. Why won't you believe—""That's enough, Mr. Hawkins. It's an important day for me today. Bringing up past matters will only bring bad luck."Grace didn't care about anything between him and Yvonne. She had no interest in any aspect of their relationship."I have to go now.

In the backstage area, Emily paced back and forth, looking anxious.Grace's hands were moving quickly, but the clothes weren't taking shape."Maybe we can ask the organizers to delay it a bit," Emily suggested, but Grace stopped her."No, this show is crucial. If we ask for more time, it will have a significant impact.""Then what should we do? We can't just wait like this, can we?"Grace's hands moved faster as she sewed with the needle and thread. After some thought, she said, "Unless … we find a suitable excuse.""The show is starting. What excuse would be suitable?"The backstage staff were all deep in thought, exchanging puzzled glances. Yet they couldn't think of any excuse."In the worst-case scenario, let the models in the first round walk an extra lap. That way, we can at least gain an extra 10 minutes."At that, everyone else voiced their thoughts."But those reporters aren't fools.
