In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 270 Unrequited Love
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

"Right. I think so too. But how could Mr. Fulton be interested in a secretary? Even if he's looking for a partner, it should be someone like Ms. Lewis, who has a comparable background."Linda stood at the door, listening to her colleagues' words. A complex mix of emotions filled her, and she silently clenched her fists.Instantly, gloom filled her eyes.Meanwhile, after Grace and Xander toured the company, she gained a rough understanding of the company's operations.Xander asked, "What do you think, Gracie? Have you considered cooperating with Futurelink?"Grace raised an eyebrow and said, "Do I still need to consider? I don't want outsiders to profit. It's a done deal."Xander hummed in acknowledgment. "Okay. We can have the personnel from both companies coordinate tomorrow and sign the contract as soon as possible.""Sounds good! Xander, we're really efficient at our work, aren't we?"As they chatted and walked along the corridor, Xander couldn't help but say, "Since we're d

Benjamin only said, "You can go over by yourself."Geraldine tightly bit her lower lip.Seeing Benjamin unfazed, she stayed beside him. Soon, their client, Corbin Watson, finally arrived."Sorry for being late, Mr. Hawkins."When it came to work, Benjamin was flawless. He extended his hand toward Corbin."No problem, Mr. Watson. I've heard that you enjoy horseback riding, so I purposely arranged to have the meeting here, hoping to witness your skills on horseback.""You're too kind, Mr. Hawkins. I've heard that you also have some experience with horsemanship. Let's share our stories today."As they spoke, they walked toward the racecourse.Geraldine wasn't interested in horseback riding, so she stayed in the resting area."Waiter, get me a glass of juice," Geraldine said to the waiter behind her, and then sat on the couch.She raised her eyes, looking toward the direction of the racecourse. The next moment, her gaze fell on a familiar figure.She almost instinctively jumped

Corbin nodded repeatedly. "I came to talk about collaboration with Mr. Hawkins and also to ride a horse. I wonder if you're interested in riding together, Mr. Fulton?"However, Xander directly refused. "Sorry, this isn't a good time."Corbin looked at Grace beside him and understood. "I see, Mr. Fulton. I won't disturb you, then. Let's meet another time."After exchanging greetings with Xander, Corbin left. "Mr. Hawkins, shall we go?"Benjamin spoke coldly, "No, Mr. Watson. Let's end our collaboration here."Hearing that, Corbin was confused. "Mr. Hawkins, that wasn't what you said just now."Benjamin replied without mercy, "As you said, that was just now."Corbin didn't understand what he had done wrong. But considering Hawkins Group's power, even if he was angry, he couldn't vent.He could only snort and leave.Benjamin stood on the side silently. His eyes were fixed on Grace, as though he were burning her with his gaze.When Grace felt his gaze, she frowned and looked up,

Geraldine, filled with anger, issued a fierce threat. "Just wait. I'll make her pay today."Benjamin frowned and grabbed her arm. "What did you do?"Before she could answer, Grace's scream came from the stable. "Ah!"Grace wanted to feed Snowy, but he had suddenly become agitated and charged directly toward her.This situation frightened Grace.For a moment, she forgot how to react. As she watched the horse rush toward her, Xander protected her at the right time.He pushed her down and held her tightly."Watch out!"Snowy, however, seemed angry. He struggled against the reins, attempting to break free and charge out of the stable.Grace sensed something was wrong.She had years of experience dealing with horses, and she could feel that something was strange with Snowy. "Xander, something's wrong with him."Xander also noticed. "Snowy is usually gentle. He has never behaved like this."Just then, Benjamin rushed in and asked with concern, "Grace, are you okay?"Seeing Geral

"This Grace keeps clashing with our family. What did we do to provoke her? She keeps treating you like this. "Geraldine, don't worry. I'll definitely demand an explanation from her on this matter. With your injuries, even that racecourse can't escape responsibility."Geraldine seemed to have thought of something. "Mom, Grace's current boyfriend owns that racecourse. They're in cahoots.""This is outrageous! Does she think our family is easy to mess with?"Olivia was extremely furious. She only had one daughter, and the latter was being mistreated like this.Just as Olivia was about to leave, Benjamin stood straight at the door.Olivia sneered. "Benjamin, you heard it too. This is all that bitch's doing. Don't let her off the hook this time."Benjamin smirked, and his lips revealed a touch of mockery. "Aunt Olivia, I think you don't understand your daughter well enough."Olivia was puzzled. "What do you mean by that?"Benjamin directly stated, "I was there at the scene."Hear

Benjamin's words carried a strong sense of powerlessness.But some things couldn't be compensated for with words.Grace raised an eyebrow slightly and smiled. "You didn't do anything wrong, Mr. Hawkins. Why should you apologize?"Benjamin shook his head. "This apology is from the old me.""Stop it, Mr. Hawkins."As Grace said that, she looked at Olivia, who wasn't far away. "I intend to get to the bottom of this matter.""Okay, I support any decision you make." Benjamin had already made his stance clear. Olivia panicked. "Benjamin, are you also going to side with this arrogant woman? Your cousin is lying in that bed!"Benjamin remained indifferent. "We're all adults. We have to take responsibility for our actions.""What did Geraldine do that you're treating her like this? Remember, she's the one lying in the hospital bed now!"Olivia was seething. "I don't care what you're planning to do, but don't even think about laying a hand on Geraldine."There was no emotion on Grace

Xander coldly snorted. "That depends on who came first and who came later."A trace of suspicion flashed in Benjamin's eyes."What do you mean by that?"Xander didn't hide anything and said straightforwardly, "It's been three years, Benjamin. This time, I won't let Grace go to you again."His words were clear. Grace raised her eyes and looked at him, feeling like she had missed something.Benjamin sneered. "Do you're capable enough? Who do you think is in charge here, Fulton?"Xander calmly responded, "In the past, it might have been the Hawkins family. But we're living in different times now. You can try if you want, Mr. Hawkin."The tension in the air was palpable, as though a fight was going to break out at any time.Benjamin nodded slightly, feeling the thrill of having a worthy opponent. It had been a long time since he had had such a formidable opponent."You want to compete with me? I've never lost since I was a child. I'll certainly have Grace and teach you a lesson."

"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

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
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 823 No Longer Under Fulton Group
"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,
