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! "

In an instant, Grace was surrounded by everyone. She was the center of attention.Elizabeth was pleased as she watched. But Susan, who was sitting in a corner of the hall, felt frustrated.These people were so used to going with the flow. When circumstances had favored Susan, they had been quick to admire her. With Grace in the spotlight now, they were hurrying to align themselves with her.This reminded Susan of Celia, who was enduring hardships in Astana while Grace was thriving. She felt uneasy at the thought. "Mom, she's no longer part of our family. Why did you invite her?" Susan asked.Displeased, Elizabeth responded, "Grace is my guest. What makes you think you have the right to comment? If you have free time, go to the kitchen. Don't be a nuisance here."Seeing no other option, Susan headed toward the kitchen.At this moment, Elizabeth instinctively covered her chest, feeling a slight pain. Her old ailment was acting up again.She stood up and walked toward the stair

"What are you doing?"At the doorway, Benjamin's voice carried a hint of anger.Without a moment's hesitation, he strode over to Grace and forcefully took her hand without saying a word.Before Grace could react, he briskly led her outside."What's going on?" Grace looked up with disbelief in her eyes.Benjamin frowned but offered no explanation. "Regardless of what you just saw, don't dwell on it."Grace became increasingly puzzled. She felt like there were some dark secrets hidden in there."This is just too strange," Grace muttered, recalling what she had just seen.She stared at Benjamin's face and finally asked, "Why is your black and white photograph hanging on the wall like a dead man's? Are you a ghost?"Benjamin was annoyed. "Nonsense. You've got it wrong.""Really?" Grace asked again. As she spoke, she realized that she had unconsciously pulled her hand away from Benjamin's firm grip.Benjamin's hands were empty, but he patiently suggested, "The birthday banquet is

Without hesitation, Benjamin replied, "I only want her."Feeling frustrated, Grace declined, "Mr. Hawkins, this might not be appropriate."Benjamin's expression grew serious, the displeasure evident on his face. But he couldn't forcefully insist in front of so many people, so Geraldine eventually led him away.After they left, Elizabeth hurried over to Grace and asked, "Are you okay, Grace?"Grace returned to her senses. Shaking her head, she said, "I'm fine, Grandma. Are you feeling better?""I'm fine, just the usual ..."Ava came downstairs, holding the ear of a boy covered in paint. They were talking. The boy had two paintbrushes, and his tearful face was distressed as Ava led him down."You idiot, look at the mess you've made!"The boy burst into tears, his cries echoing through the hall.Elizabeth looked displeased and scolded coldly, "Enough. Don't embarrass yourself."Ava hadn't expected that she would make Benjamin look so disheveled instead of Grace. If Benjamin foun

Geraldine couldn't suppress a self-amused smile as she saw Benjamin walking away. She was sober now. She looked down and clenched her fists.Her face showed how frustrated and embarrassed she felt after being rejected. She couldn't help thinking about the incident downstairs when Benjamin protected Grace almost instinctively ...Weren't they divorced? Why did it seem like there was still something between them? Geraldine's eyes darkened at the thought. After Benjamin finished showering and returned to the hall in fresh clothes, he searched around but found no sign of Grace.Seeing this, Elizabeth sighed, saying, "Grace has already left …"Benjamin was surprised. He sounded a bit reproachful as he asked, "Grandma, didn't you ask her to stay?""Tell me the truth. What are you thinking? I told you to take care of Grace, but you insisted on causing trouble. Now that you're divorced, you're eagerly chasing after her. Isn't that foolish?" Elizabeth was clearly unhappy with him.

Emily interrupted Grace's thoughts. "By the way, since you're here, I suddenly remembered something. We had a customer who specifically requested that you design a dress for her." "What kind of dress?" Grace asked.Emily flipped through the customer order forms on the counter and handed it to Grace. "The offer is three million dollars, and there's no deadline. As long as you're available within six months, it's fine."Grace raised an eyebrow and took the order.The order was quite straightforward, with no extravagant details, only leaving a name and a phone number."So weird. Does she have any specific requirements for the dress?""She didn't say anything. She just mentioned that she wants to discuss it with you in person whenever you're available. Should we take this order?"Grace smiled, looking pleased. "Why not? Accept it. This can be considered a big order for our boutique, so we should definitely take it."Leave this matter to me. I've been busy at the office recently, b

"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,
