In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 263 I Got Out
"Mr. Ziegler, what's on the work schedule for today?"Luke was half a step behind Grace as he reported her schedule. "There's an international video conference at 10:00 am. At 2:00 pm, you have an appointment with Mr. Barnes to discuss the project, and tonight at 7:00 pm, there's Neo Group's chairman and his wife's anniversary party—""Okay, I've got it."As soon as she finished, Grace's phone rang from her pocket. "Hello, babe. Are you busy?"Emily's voice traveled from the other end of the line. "The client I told you about last time came to the boutique today. It's the one who spent three million dollars to design a dress."The client asked for you specifically. Do you think you would have some time to come over?"Grace pushed the door open to her office and walked in. "When?""I've already asked her. Any time before 12:00 pm will be fine.""Alright, I've got it."Emily hung up and took a cup of coffee over to the client. "Ms. Gold, please wait a moment. Our designer will

"Did you come out to cause trouble again?" Grace said scornfully.Yvonne's expression changed, but she suppressed her rage and smiled instead. "Do you know why I managed to get out?"Benjamin paid a huge amount of bail! Do you get it, Grace? There's only ever been one person in his heart, and that's me. You're just the ex-wife that he looked down on."When Grace heard this, she betrayed no emotion and crossed her arms expressionlessly. "Then stay together forever. Don't come out and hurt others.""You!" Yvonne gritted her teeth and glared venomously at Grace. "I'm telling you, Grace, I'll make you go through everything that I had to experience.""If you want to go back to prison and stay there, then go ahead and try!"Grace's voice was intimidating. It felt like a physical blow to Yvonne, who had just gotten out of prison. Yvonne shuddered. She never wanted to step foot in prison again. "Just you wait." Yvonne spat vehemently. But just as she had finished speaking, the wo

"You were the one who designed the main outfit for the Pamore fashion show, right? It was excellent. I heard many stories about you in Palisia."As she spoke, she held out her hand to Grace. "Hello, I'm Helena Gold.""Nice to meet you, Ms. Gold. Thank you for sticking up for me just now. If you come to our shop to choose clothes in the future, I'll give you a 20% discount every time."Helena smiled and said teasingly, "I just spoke according to my conscience, but it looks like I gained some benefits.""Are you here to commission a custom-made haute couture gown?" Grace asked. There was a hint of a smile in Helena's eyes, and she said, "I want a haute couture gown with a floral theme for an event. The first person I thought of was you. How about it? Do you have time to customize it for me?""Of course. Let me take your measurements right now." Grace took Helena's measurements, and the two of them had a delightful conversation. Before she left, Helena gave Grace a business card.

Benjamin kept staring in the direction where Grace had walked off. Then, he asked, "Yvonne, you did this on purpose, didn't you? You knew that Grace would be here, so you called me over here to act out this scene?""Benjamin, you've misunderstood me!""Fine. You and I know very clearly what kind of character you have! I didn't bail you out so that you could come here and be arrogant and out of control."I'm warning you—stay far away from Grace. If not, I'll personally send you back to jail again."Silence ensued after his threat.Yvonne was furious and wanted to pull on Benjamin's arm, but he cast her off. "Enough. Stop faking it here. I've given you the card. Just buy what you want to get, and next time, don't call me."After he had said his piece, Benjamin ignored Yvonne's stricken expression and left, leaving her only with the view of his retreating figure. In the car, he took out his phone and made a call. "I told you to watch Yvonne. What developments have there been?"

Xander's expression was calm as he handed the menu over. "That's it! We'll order again if needed."When the waiter had left, Grace finally put down her glass and said, "Xander, how did you know that I don't eat onions or mushrooms?"Even Benjamin, who had been married to her for three years, knew nothing about this. How did Xander know her so well? Xander looked intensely at her and finally said, "Your older brother told me.""Aaron?"Xander nodded, but didn't say that he knew about her preferences because of how closely he had observed her. Grace didn't doubt him. "Grace, is that really you?" A sudden voice made Grace raise her eyebrows. The next second, Ava had already appeared in front of her. Her gossipy eyes looked greedily at Grace and Xander with no regard for anything else. As Benjamin's aunt, she had never liked Grace. She had just never expected Grace to get together with such an impressive man after leaving the Hawkins family. "What kind of relationship do

After the previous incident, Linda had been demoted. While her original position was assistant to the president, she was now manager of the sales department. Linda was very unhappy about this. She had personally gone to see Xander several times, but he had rejected her heartlessly each time. After thinking long and hard, Linda had realized that only one person could influence Xander's thoughts.That person was Grace. "Mr. Fulton." Linda inclined her head slightly to greet Xander. Then, she looked at Grace, maintaining a respectful attitude. "Ms. Lewis."Grace smiled back at her in reply before walking into Xander's office. Linda followed her with a pile of documents in her arms. "Mr. Fulton, here are some documents from the sales department that need your signature."Xander sat down with a pen and signed his name with a flourish. While Xander had been away from the office, a pile of work had accumulated on his desk, waiting to be taken care of. Grace sat on the couch and

Little Xander had felt warm and fuzzy at the sound of her calling his name. He had taken the job of leading her seriously and had taken her riding in the garden. Little Grace's eyes had flickered from side to side as she asked a series of questions. "Xander, why doesn't the pony talk?""Why is the sky blue?""Why do birds fly?""Why are there boys and girls?"Little Grace had had an unending supply of questions, but little Xander hadn't been impatient at all. He had answered every question for her patiently. "Wow, Xander, you're so great! You know everything!"Little Grace had looked at him with adoration, as if there were pink stars shooting out of her eyes. Little Xander had felt extremely satisfied by that.This little sister was so adorable!"Gracie, could you just be my little sister?"Little Grace had shaken her head at that. "No!" As she spoke, she began counting on her fingers very seriously. "I have three brothers at home … and if I add you, I'll have four olde

The sound of a knock interrupted Xander's thoughts.He snapped out of his thoughts, and only then did he realize he had lost his composure.Seeing Grace peacefully asleep, Xander didn't disturb her. Instead, he walked to the door and stopped the group of people who had come to report to him. "Let's go and handle this in the conference room."The group exchanged glances in confusion, not understanding why the location had been changed at the last minute. Nevertheless, they obediently went to the conference room.Grace was sleeping soundly. When she woke up, the spacious office was empty. As she got up, the thin blanket on her slid off and fell to the floor.She quickly picked it up. The next moment, the door to the office was pushed open. Xander walked in, and their eyes met. In a low and melodious voice, he said, "You're awake."Grace looked a bit awkward. "Did I sleep for a long time?""Well, not too long."Xander walked up to her with a faint smile. "Do you want to walk a

"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,
