In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 243 A Potent Remedy
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

Timothy's project received unanimous approval.After the meeting, Grace was the first to leave the conference room, followed closely by Luke, who was reporting on work.As Grace and Luke approached the office door, they were suddenly called out, "Grace!" Following the voice, Geraldine walked gracefully in front of Grace.Grace was surprised. Since her divorce, she had completely severed ties with the Hawkins family. She hadn't been in contact with any of the relatives. Geraldine had never visited her either.How had Geraldine found her here?Despite her confusion, Grace politely asked, "Ms. Geraldine, what brings you here?"Geraldine raised the thermos and smiled. "Grandma asked me to bring some chicken soup for you."Grace nodded. She closed the file and handed the documents to Luke. "Proceed as you suggested.""Yes, Ms. Lewis."After Luke left, Grace turned her attention to Geraldine. "Ms. Geraldine, come and have a seat in my office."Geraldine agreed and followed Grace

"Well, even if you're not with Benjamin, I will always treat you like a sister," Geraldine added.As soon as she said that, there was a knock on the office door. Grace set aside her bowl, took a tissue to wipe her mouth, and said, "Come in."Timothy entered the office, carrying a stack of documents. Spotting another person in the room, he resumed his usual serious demeanor. "Ms. Lewis, these documents need your approval."Grace nodded slightly. "Just put them on my desk.""Yes, Ms. Lewis."Geraldine was shocked to see Timothy. "Timothy, what are you doing here?"Upon hearing this, Timothy raised his eyes and looked at Geraldine. As Benjamin's long-time friend, how could he not recognize Geraldine? Moreover, he knew one of her secrets.With a faint smile, Timothy replied, "I work at Amirate Corporation!"Geraldine was really surprised.Why was the heir of the Donegan family willing to work at Amirate Corporation instead of the prestigious Donegan Enterprises? Geraldine want

"Now that you have that in hand, things are about to get more interesting …"After hanging, Geraldine casually played with her phone, and her eyes shimmered excitedly. She hadn't expected that a visit to Grace's company would be so fruitful.She smirked, thinking, "Oh, Grace! Get ready to accept your loss at tomorrow's bidding!"…After Geraldine left, Timothy seized the opportunity to return to Grace's office. He appeared more serious than usual and inquired, "Grace, what was Geraldine doing here?"Grace looked up at him and teased, "Seems like you're quite concerned about her?"Timothy scoffed, "Concerned about her? She's not worthy."He then approached Grace with an unprecedented seriousness in his gaze."Milady, Geraldine is very mischievous. We should be careful."His gaze shifted to the side, where the documents were."As everyone knows, the Dunhill project has a huge profit margin. Many people are eyeing it. I'm afraid Geraldine might do something …"Upon hearing hi

Grace smiled and extended her hand. "Hello, Mr. Jackson!""Ms. Lewis, you're truly outstanding. Under your leadership, Amirate Corporation is gradually reaching new heights.""Thank you, Mr. Jackson.""You're here for the Dunhill Project as well? Our companies are going to compete head-to-head today.""We're all just playing to our strengths, you know?"With a sly smile, Timothy replied, "Well then, Mr. Jackson, let's wait and see."The atmosphere tensed up. Grace sensed Timothy's hostility toward Liam."Sure. We'll meet later." Liam glanced meaningfully at Grace before leaving confidently."If I'm not mistaken, he's our biggest competitor today," Grace said calmly.Impressed by Grace's insight, Timothy teased, "Milady, I find myself admiring you more and more.""Stop flattering and speak sensibly.""I'm speaking the truth."Timothy looked disdainfully at Liam and continued, "Seeing his confident behavior, if he gets what he wants, his pride will skyrocket.""That's not ne

Geraldine was genuinely surprised and somewhat uneasy, but she still mustered a greeting to Grace. "What a coincidence, Grace! Are you also participating in the bidding?"Grace chuckled lightly and replied, "It's for our company's new project. Take a look. By the way, Ms. Geraldine, when did you start working at Jackson Realty?"Geraldine was astonished that Grace knew about this. Had Grace also learned about the stolen data?Geraldine felt nervous. She clutched her clothes and smiled. "I've been working there for quite some time. It's just that you didn't know."Grace acknowledged with an "oh" and looked at herself in the mirror."The Dunhill project is indeed excellent. It involves large-scale crude oil and mining projects, ensuring profits for the company for at least the next five years," Grace commented.Geraldine felt a sense of pride upon hearing this."Really? With such a huge profit margin, we won't have to worry about business performance for the next five years if we

Geraldine was intimidated by Liam's imposing demeanor and dared not take another breath. When she returned to the hall, the bid was already underway."Alright, next, we will proceed with Project 0781. The participating companies are Hawkins Group, Amirate Corporation, Jackson Realty, and Draco Corporation ..."The host flipped through the cards in his hand and concluded, "The winning enterprise for this project is Amirate Corporation. Congratulations!"Grace and Timothy stood up as the host's words fell, and enthusiastic applause erupted in the hall.After the bid was over, Liam called the supplier. "Mr. Grey, there may be some changes in our cooperation. Can you terminate the agreement?""What? A breach of contract penalty of five million dollars? Mr. Grey, can we discuss this matter?"After the other party had finished speaking, Liam hung up the phone, and the beeping sound echoed in the handset. Liam fumed in frustration. "Damn it, these bastards!"Gerladine observed him ca

Geraldine tried to snatch Grace's phone.However, she missed the mark, as Grace deftly avoided her."Stealing company secrets can lead to imprisonment. If I hand this video over to the police, will they arrest you?" Grace said with a sly smile.Geraldine looked at her in disbelief, her eyes filling with panic. She realized something and quickly changed her expression, pleading, "Grace, please ... please don't!"If Grace gave it to the police, her life would be over!"I'm begging you, Grace! Don't give it to the police. I was truly wrong ..." Geraldine continued pleading incessantly, hoping Grace would spare her.Timothy smirked as he watched from the side, with a touch of mockery in the corner of his mouth. "Why take such risks in the first place? Ms. Geraldine, this probably isn't your first time, right?"Geraldine couldn't afford to think about that now. She urgently pulled Grace's arm, lowering herself. "Grace, I know you're the best. I beg you, give me a chance! I promise

"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,
