In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 223 Xander Saved Her
Aaron's eyes darkened as he said, "Grace, you scared all of us, especially Grandpa. He hasn't slept for three days."Grace looked at Harold apologetically. "Grandpa, I'm sorry."Harold held her hand. "Don't apologize to me. You've been through such a big incident, and your body suffered heavy injuries. Fortunately, that boy from the Fulton family risked everything to save you from the fire."At the mention of Xander, Grace looked around but didn't see him. She immediately asked, "Grandpa, where's Xander?"Behind her, Aaron and Caleb exchanged glances.Finally, Aaron said, "Don't worry. Xander is fine, but his arm and back got burned. He's currently being treated in the next room. Aunt Hestia is there with him."When she heard that, Grace couldn't stay in bed any longer. She quickly got up. "What did you say? Xander got injured?"At the mention of that, Caleb felt guilty. He had protected Lydia at that time but failed to protect Grace. Because of that, Harold and his two brothers

"Good. Tearing her apart wouldn't be excessive. This matter is in your hands now."The Lewis and Fulton families had reached an understanding. It was clear what kind of fate awaited Wendy.In a dim and damp room, Wendy's hands and feet were bound together. Her eyes were covered with a black cloth, and a smelly sock was stuffed into her mouth. She couldn't speak and could only make muffled sounds.At this moment, the door to the dark room was opened, and footsteps approached her. When Wendy felt someone's presence, she struggled incessantly and whimpered, seemingly pleading for mercy.Grace stood there, looking down at Wendy coldly. Finally, she said, "It's me, Grace."As her voice sounded, Wendy's movements abruptly stopped. She looked toward Grace's direction, but she couldn't see anything.Grace reached out to remove the black cloth. Suddenly, fear filled Wendy's eyes, and her body trembled.In contrast, Grace scoffed coldly. "What? Are you afraid now? Why weren't you afraid

After that, Wendy fainted immediately.Outside the room, Caleb couldn't help but sneer as he watched the scene on the monitor. The mockery in his eyes was evident. "That snake isn't poisonous, but she's scared to the point of fainting."Victor couldn't help but add, "Girls are afraid of snakes, even if it's just a common snake. But today is just the beginning."In the days that follow, we will put a snake in there every day to see her limits. How dare she mess with our little princess? If we don't drive her crazy, how will she pay for her actions?"Victor's words frightened Caleb, making the latter get goosebumps all over his body."Okay, let's do it according to the plan."As for Grace, she didn't care about what happened to Wendy. After she handed Wendy over to her two brothers, she didn't ask about Wendy's fate. Instead, she returned to the hospital to stay with Xander.In truth, Xander's condition wasn't that bad. But he stayed in the hospital for half a month due to arrange

Aaron looked at Grace. "Grace, Luke just called."At the mention of Luke, Grace guessed what it was about. "Is it about what happened at the fashion show?"Aaron nodded. "We found the person who damaged the clothes. He admitted to entering the backstage area with a pair of scissors and cutting the clothes. He also admitted to putting razor blades in the model's high heels."Grace was furious. "Anything else?"Aaron continued, "I investigated him. He's an orphan with no family or ties. He had received a million-dollar transfer the day before the incident, but we can't trace the origin of the transfer."And he's tight-lipped. He's only admitted to his actions and won't reveal who instructed him to do them."Upon hearing this, Grace roughly understood the situation. "So there's no other information available?"Aaron hummed."The other party is obviously hiding in the shadows as they target you. It's hard to guard against. Think carefully. Have you offended anyone recently?"Grace

Aaron only let Grace leave Frenda after she agreed to his condition. Once Grace reached Pamore, the first thing she did was visit Alan. In a professor's office at Pamore University, Alan was with several students, studying Grace's work from the fashion show."Professor Morris, the success of this fashion show is closely related to the design of the centerpiece," one of Alan's students, Ashton Weaver, said.Alan agreed to Ashton's comment."Yes, the design this time really stood out. Our university has received invitations from several large foreign shows.""Really? Professor, does that mean we can get a chance to go abroad to watch the show?" Another student's eyes lit up."Of course! But this opportunity wasn't easy to come by. Before this, the international fashion world was very dismissive of our work. They even belittled us, saying that we couldn't design clothes that would be loved in global markets. Now we've finally shown our strength.""This is truly inspiring."The gr

"Tyson, what are you talking about? Ms. Lewis won the chief designer position based on her abilities. Now that the fashion show is over and the response is good, it's evidence of her capabilities. What nonsense are you spouting here?"Tyson was dismissive. It was almost as if he had the word "disdain" written on his face."Haha, that's it? Anyone could have done that. It doesn't necessarily have to be her.""Tyson, that's enough!"Ashton stepped forward to stop Tyson, but the latter remained unmoved. "Grace, do you dare say you didn't use your connections for this?"When this was asked, Grace's face showed no change in expression.She raised her eyes and looked at Tyson. She couldn't recall meeting him, so she didn't understand where his hostility came from.But there was one thing she had to make clear."I obtained the chief designer position this time fair and square without any of your so-called dirty tricks."Hearing that, Tyson burst into laughter. "Who would believe you?

Grace smiled. "You're my teacher now, Professor Morris. Whatever you say goes."Hence, everyone helped with the preparations, and soon, someone brought a microphone to Grace.Grace took it and walked up to Alan's. After a small bow, she announced, "I hereby declare myself as Professor Morris' last student. With the change of status, I'll address him as Mr. Morris from now on."Smiling, Alan pulled out a little gift from his pocket and handed it to her. "Here, Grace.""Thank you, Mr. Morris."After the announcement was made, Alan was so delighted that he wanted to show off Grace to everyone.He didn't stay idle. He took his phone out and sent messages to several experts in the industry. It was as though he was announcing the news to the world.…After Grace left Pamore University, she saw a slender figure standing not far away.Before she could get closer, Timothy spotted her and walked toward her quickly. "Milady! You're back."Grace was surprised to see him. "Why are you her

"Wait, two guys vying for one girl? Do you remember Mr. Fulton, who was all chummy with Ms. Lewis before? Word on the street is that Mr. Fulton is now Mrs. Lewis' go-to guy.""Oh my, this is too melodramatic!”Before they could dive deeper into the conversation, Benjamin stood up from the nearby couch, with Larry trailing him like a shadow."Mr. Hawkins, it's just some people spinning tales. Don't let it get to you."Benjamin stayed silent.His eyes were dark, and his expression was beyond frosty. It was as if he had just stepped out of a freezer.The two of them walked to the elevator—one in the lead, the other following."Milady, there's still plenty of potential in the Dunhill market. I'm considering making it the main focus for the next three years.""Your plan sounds solid. If we make it big in Dunhill, our profits could skyrocket.""Milady, you can count on me for this. I won't disappoint you ... Crude oil is where our future's at ..."As Timothy and Grace chatted, they

"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

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,
