In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 252 Lewis Family's Attitude
"Gracie, remember this. You shouldn't doubt yourself just because of one failed relationship. In my opinion, you're worthy of the best."Grace's heart warmed at his words. "I know, Aaron. It's so good to have all of you."Aaron reached out and ruffled her hair. "What's with you being so formal? In matters of the heart, it's how you feel that counts. But you also have to face your own heart. Don't miss the person who truly loves you."Grace nodded, but she felt that Aaron was being unusually talkative today. "Aaron, when did you become such a gossip?""Have I? I'm just showing concern for you. After all, we can't be careless with matters that concern your lifelong happiness. Since I've been deceived once, I should learn my lesson. "You can't fall down in the same place twice. As long as that person isn't Benjamin, no matter who you end up with, our entire family will support you."Aaron's words made his stance clear. It was also what the rest of their family thought. Grace murm

If things continued to progress at this rate, there was a high chance that Grace would win the bet. But Samuel wouldn't admit defeat until the final moment. "What are you so anxious about? Isn't there still about half a year left? Getting a project done is difficult, but destroying a project is easy."Samuel's gaze darkened. He seemed to have resolved to burn all his bridges. He had been in the business world for a long time, and he wasn't about to lose to a young woman who had just started out. "We have to find a way to get rid of that Timothy fellow.""Director Walker, I have an idea about that."Samuel raised his eyebrows, looking pleasantly surprised. "Tell me what your idea is."Zane leaned close to his ear and said something in a low voice. Samuel was all smiles as he said, "It looks like you've learned a lot through all your years with me. Let's do it as you've planned.""Yes, Director Walker."…That night, Grace had arranged a celebratory party for Timothy at the Ph

"Go and get the phone of the woman called Grace …"As soon as the order was given, a few young gangsters surged forward and smashed the car's windows with hammers. With a bang, the car windows shattered into pieces, showering Grace with shards of glass. With a piercing sound, the car's alarm system began to wail. "You're Grace! Give me your phone."The gangsters stuck their heads in through the window pane to grab Grace's phone out of her hand. Grace leaned sideways to dodge them and kicked the man's head accurately and firmly. Immediately, blood began spurting from his nose. "What are you trying to do in broad daylight?"The man was in pain as he covered his face. "You bitch! Watch me kick your ass."He moved forward as soon as he finished speaking. But before he could, a few sleek black cars rushed up behind him. As the cars' brakes squealed to a stop, the young gangsters were immediately surrounded by well-trained bodyguards. They were like a heavenly army that had a

At Hawkins Manor, Geraldine was pacing back and forth with her phone in hand, looking a little anxious. There were drops of sweat on her nose. The clock on the wall was already pointing to 11:00 pm, but there was still no news from that bunch of young gangsters. Geraldine had completely lost patience and was about to change her shoes to go out. At that moment, she heard the sound of motorcycles from outside. Looking pleased, she hurriedly opened the door. "Tiger, how did things go?"Tiger was the lead gangster. He took off his helmet and looked expressionlessly at Geraldine before saying, "I'm sorry, Ms. Geraldine."Geraldine was lost for a moment and asked quickly, "Why are you apologizing? Didn't it go well? That's impossible! There's so many of you, and you couldn't deal with a single, frail woman?"Tiger was lost for words. "Ms. Geraldine, are you sure that you didn't get the wrong information?""What do you mean by that?""I'm sorry, Ms. Geraldine. I'll return the 200

"Geraldine isn't young anymore. How could she be so careless? I think this will be a good lesson for her.""Mom, Geraldine is my only daughter! If she goes to jail, how will I live?"Elizabeth wasn't moved by that. "She's already an adult and has to face the consequences of her actions."Titus hadn't expected that Elizabeth would be so stubborn. "Mom, if anything happens to Geraldine, then I won't live either. If you want to lose a son at your old age, then that's your choice."After tossing these words at her, Titus stormed out angrily.Elizabeth in resignation. In the end, she had no choice but to look for Benjamin. "Benjamin, could you talk to Grace about this? She has a soft heart. Perhaps you could discuss if there's any way to settle this?"Benjamin had already changed into a new suit. His expression was cold as he looked straight ahead. "Grandma, let's hand this matter over to the legal department and let them handle it."He couldn't bring himself to go to Grace and ask

But Yvonne wasn't worth that much money!"Three months. I only need to bail her out for three months. Ask if the bail can be halved. If they agree, send the money immediately!""Yes, Mr. Hawkins."…At Amirate Corporation, Grace was having an international meeting. Once the meeting was over, Luke knocked on her office door. "Ms. Lewis, a representative from Hawkins Group's legal department is here. They want to speak to you about Geraldine stealing company secrets."Grace instructed, "Let our lawyers handle this. Just report the result to me.""Yes, Ms. Lewis."Luke left and turned to see Samuel at the door. Luke's face was expressionless as he greeted Samuel politely, "Director Walker."Samuel smiled and said, "Mr. Ziegler, you're an old face that's been by Mr. Lewis' side for years. You don't need to be so formal with me."Luke inclined his head slightly. "Is there anything I can help you with, Director Walker?"Samuel looked at the closed office door. "I'm here to see Ms

Although Grace's reaction was unexpected, Samuel didn't think much of it. He just thought that she was flustered by the turn of events and hadn't had time to fully process it.Hence, he said, "The disciplinary inspection department will find out whether he's been wrongly accused or not. They're currently at the company right now. Would you like to go and have a look, Ms. Lewis?"Grace looked meaningfully at him, then got up and walked out. In Timothy's office, a bunch of people in uniform were currently collecting all kinds of evidence. Timothy was sitting on the couch with his legs crossed, looking completely unperturbed. "Have you finished checking? If you have, can you stop interrupting my work?" Timothy said flippantly. The people in uniform ignored him and continued to look through his things. Timothy snorted coldly, his gaze gradually becoming icy. When Grace walked in and saw the scene, she looked extremely displeased. "What are you doing?"The man in uniform who wa

When Samuel saw Grace and Timothy working seamlessly together, he huffed coldly inwardly. Then he looked meaningfully at Mr. Turner, who was standing in the distance. Mr. Turner understood at once and walked over to Timothy. "Mr. Donegan, we want to check your cash cards. Please cooperate."Timothy huffed coldly and took out his wallet from his pocket. Then, he took out the cards inside and placed them on the table, one by one. His movements carried a hint of scorn, but the cards he took out left all the onlookers flabbergasted. There were several limited-edition black cards from the top five banks in the country, and there was even a gold card from UBS!Mr. Turner was shocked. "These … these are your bank cards?"Timothy huffed coldly. "Didn't you want to check? Check them then! But I think that any of the cards here would have a limit over a few million dollars."Mr. Turner wiped the sweat off his forehead and said weakly, "Are all your cards real? They aren't fake, are

"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
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,
