In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 231 You Can't Stop Me
There was a hint of surprise in Samuel's eyes when he saw Benjamin. "Mr. Hawkins, what brings you to Amirate?"Benjamin glanced at Samuel, exuding a regal presence. With a single look, he had already asserted dominance."What's wrong? Am I not welcome at Amirate Corporation?"Samuel forced a smile. "Mr. Hawkins, how could that be ... It's just that it's not a convenient time for Ms. Lewis to see you at the moment …"Samuel's words were vague, hinting at uncertainty. He was smart, so of course he hadn't missed Benjamin's intentions.Benjamin didn't avert his gaze. Instead, he looked at Grace and Timothy and said, "Whether it's convenient or not isn't up to you, right?"Samuel felt awkward. He could only manage an apologetic smile. "You're correct, Mr. Hawkins …"But Benjamin paid him no more attention.Leaving Samuel behind, he headed toward Grace.When Grace saw Benjamin, her brows furrowed slightly in concern. Even when Benjamin called her, she acted like she hadn't heard

He knew that she had been injured and had even gone as far as to follow her to Frenda.However, the Lewis family had hidden her too well.He stayed in Frenda for ten days but hadn't been able to find her.After he had returned to Pamore, he had been waiting for her at Amirate Corporation.Grace concealed all her emotions. She calmly said, "Mr. Hawkins, is this your way of showing concern? I'm sorry, but I don't need it.""Seeing you well puts my mind at ease," Benjamin said.He paused momentarily and continued, "The nanotechnology robot project with Albert has progressed to a critical stage. The product launch is next month. It's our first collaboration. If you have time, we can go together."He had shifted the topic to work. This time, Grace didn't refuse. After all, it was a project she was managing. "Sure, I'll arrange my schedule."In truth, Benjamin had overheard Grace's conversation with Samuel earlier. He had figured that Grace needed help.So he continued, "Ms. Lewis

Grace snapped back to reality, looking puzzled. "What?"Timothy seemed to sense a unique atmosphere between Grace and Benjamin, so he said with a hint of disappointment, "If you're willing to go back to him, I'll respect your decision."Grace chuckled. "What's this? Are you suddenly lacking confidence?"Timothy quickly added, "If my rival is Benjamin, losing to him isn't something to be too embarrassed about. "But Milady, you need to think it through. The old issues are still there. If you two want to get back together, at least resolve those issues first."Upon hearing that, Grace retorted, "Who said I want to get back together with him?"Timothy's eyes lit up as he stared at her."Milady, do you mean ..."Grace shook her head slightly. "I have no intention of getting back together with him, at least for now."Timothy exclaimed, "Milady, does that mean I still have a chance?"Grace raised her eyes, meeting his gaze.She planned to make things clear with him today."Timoth

"Don't be modest. I just believe that you will find your happiness," Grace said sincerely. Timothy looked relaxed and nodded in agreement. He didn't say anything, but his eyes reflected how resolute he was in his decision.In the following days, Grace was busy catching up on the work that had been pending since she had been busy with the fashion show. When Saturday finally arrived, she could take a break.Early in the morning, she received a call from Elizabeth."Gracie, will you be coming to Hawkins Manor today?"Grace hesitated a bit. But she sensed the anticipation in Elizabeth's tone and decided to agree."Grandma, it's your birthday, so I'll definitely be there on time."Overjoyed, Elizabeth smiled. "Good, good, good! I'll be waiting for you here."After hanging up the phone, Grace looked out of the window. The morning sunlight streamed into the room, casting a warm glow. The weather was perfect today.Grace took out the emerald jewelry she had bought at the auction and

With a son as outstanding as Benjamin, Olivia couldn't help but feel overshadowed by Susan. Meanwhile, Olivia's whole life revolved around Geraldine, which strained their relationship."I'm just helping find a match for our dear Geraldine. What's it to you? By the way, I heard Benjamin had sent Celia to Astana. So it's not really your place to be concerned, is it?"Her remark hit a nerve. Susan's expression darkened. It felt like a jab to her heart."Well, Celia is just going to be in Astana for a while. She'll be back eventually," Susan replied weakly before retreating. Olivia claimed victory. Then, she pulled Elizabeth into the conversation. "Mom, check this out. Xander Fulton, the president of Futurelink Corporation. He is handsome and talented. He turned the company around in a few months. He's a real catch …"Elizabeth furrowed as she interrupted, "Enough for now. We can talk about this later."Pouting, Olivia reluctantly agreed, "Alright, Mom."Then, she turned her at

Frederick couldn't resist pressing on. "When they were causing all that trouble for Grace, why didn't it bother you?"Now that I've just made a few remarks, why are you having a strong reaction? Benjamin, it seems like you're taking this a bit too seriously, don't you think?"Benjamin responded calmly, "Are you feeling chatty today?"Frederick became even more curious after seeing his evasive reply. He reached out, hooking his shoulder. "Brother, aren't you waiting for someone?"The "someone" in Frederick's words naturally referred to Grace.A slight movement appeared at the corner of Benjamin's mouth. "Are you too free?"Frederick quickly denied, "No, just a bit curious.""Let me remind you—now that you've figured out your feelings and want to win Grace back, you need to show sincerity for the mistakes you made in the past. Just admit them and stand upright! Take the hits, and make it right! In simple terms, just treat her better," he continued.Benjamin remained unimpressed a

"I heard you're the new CEO of Amirate Corporation. That's quite impressive. Your uncle's company downsized recently, leaving him jobless. Please consider offering him a position at Amirate," Ava said.Grace remained silent, not immediately responding.But Ava didn't see anything wrong with her suggestion. "Your uncle used to be just a team leader. So I believe joining Amirate and becoming CEO should be no problem for him."Elizabeth overheard the conversation and wasn't pleased with Ava's remarks.Ava ignored the awkward atmosphere and continued, "Considering we're all part of the same family, arranging a job at Amriate shouldn't be difficult."Grace countered bluntly, "What are you talking about? He's still part of the Hawkins family. With the size and influence of Hawkins Group, finding a job shouldn't be a problem. Our family business might be small, but it can surely accommodate such a 'big shot'."Her response was straightforward. She had hit a nerve. Ava's demeanor shift

Nowadays, with Grace's elevated status, most people eagerly sought to align themselves with her and attempt to win her favor.This left Ava feeling quite uneasy."Aunt Ava, do you know why Celia was exiled to Astana?" Geraldine asked.Since Ava's marriage, she had rarely been involved in the Hawkins family's affairs. Hence, she was unaware of what had happened to Celia.Susan had only told her that Celia had gone to study in Astana.But what kind of place was Astana, exactly? Even if the Hawkins family were in decline, they wouldn't send their child somewhere like that.Ava was unclear about the specifics, so she asked, "Do you know the details?"Geraldine gestured toward Grace in the crowd."It's because of her, of course.""You mean Grace? Does she really have such influence?"Geraldine looked at Ava as if the latter were underestimating Grace. "Have you forgotten how Celia and Aunt Susan used to mistreat her? She's simply seeking justice. It's better late than never! "

"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

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,
