In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 280 The Gracie You've Been Thinking About
After this brief introduction, Grace quickly greeted Mateo. "Nice to meet you, Dr. Graham."Mateo chuckled. "Well, well, well, Xander. You came to the emergency department even when your injury isn't serious at all. Others might think that something major had happened to you."Hearing that Xander was fine, Grace breathed a sigh of relief."It's good that he's okay. I appreciate your help, Dr. Graham."Mateo came over with gauze and iodine to tend to Xander's wound, saying, "It's nothing. Just be more careful next time. Try not to fall again."After finishing the treatment, he turned to Grace and said, "All done. You can go to the front desk to settle the payment, Ms. Lewis.""Okay."With that, Grace walked out.Seeing her retreating figure, Mateo couldn't resist teasing Xander. "If I remember correctly, she's the Gracie you've been thinking about, right?"He sounded very certain, as if he had discovered an interesting fact.He continued, "You just lack dating experience. No w

"We've already reached a collaboration agreement with Futurelink. In the initial stages of the project, I'll personally go there to oversee it.""Ms. Lewis, do you need me to go with you?"Grace nodded. "Prepare yourself. When the time comes, go with Futurelink and take the main team along."After confirming the work, Grace sent a message to Xander. Unexpectedly, her phone rang abruptly.She looked at the flashing number on the screen and answered expressionlessly.Benjamin's voice came through the phone. "Grace, I heard you've reached a collaboration agreement with Futurelink." Grace raised her eyes and glanced out the window. "You seem to be well-informed, Mr. Hawkins.""Are you sure you want to choose him over me? Working with Hawkins Group has a better chance of success, doesn't it?"Yet Grace responded, "Mr. Hawkins, the die is cast. There's no need for more words."But Benjamin wasn't willing to accept it.When had he ever lost?"The Dunhill project isn't as simple as

In a magnificent hotel, the amorous sounds of a man and a woman filled the air.After a passionate encounter, Yvonne leaned against the head of the bed and took a deep drag of a cigarette dangling between her fingers.The naked man beside her pulled her into his arms and spoke in a light tone."It's been a while, and your skills have clearly regressed. It seems like prison life didn't treat you well."Yvonne blew a smoke ring. "Cut the crap. I called you out for something serious."The man chuckled."Okay. Weren't we doing something serious?"Yvonne's eyes darkened as she extinguished the cigarette. "Benjamin is starting to suspect me, but he can't present any evidence at the moment."The man's large hand began to roam over her body as he said, "There's no need to worry if there's no evidence. We just need to be careful."Seriously, Yvonne swatted his hand away. "Regardless, I must become Mrs. Hawkins. Even if that fails, I want to make Grace, that bitch, try living in prison.

Yvonne suddenly had an idea. "Tell me. Do you have any good ideas?"The man leaned over, pressing her down, and whispered seductively, "If you want to know, serve me well."After that, the room was filled with another round of amorous sounds.…The next day, Grace had packed her bags early in the morning. Before she set off, she received a call from Aaron."Gracie, I heard you're going to Dunhill."Grace knew she couldn't keep anything from Aaron, so she replied, "Yes, I'm going with Xander.""I have a friend in Dunhill. If you need anything, you can contact him."Grace hummed in acknowledgement. "Thanks, Aaron. I'm not a child anymore. There's no need to worry about me."Yet Aaron was still concerned. "Is Luke going with you?""The other employees are taking a later flight. We'll meet in Dunhill the next day."Hearing Grace's response, Aaron felt reassured. With Luke and Xander there, watching over her, there shouldn't be any major problems.He reminded her. "You've been i

Vivian exchanged smiles with Grace, but her attention was on Xander."I didn't expect you to come in person this time, Mr. Fulton. Soraya Group warmly welcomes you. It must have been a long journey. Let me take you to the hotel first."Xander's expression darkened, and he curtly replied, "Thank you, Ms. Myers."Suddenly, two luxury cars stopped in front of them. Vivian gestured toward Grace."Please get in, Ms. Lewis."Grace nodded slightly. As she got into the car, Xander followed and took a seat next to her without hesitation.Then, he said to Vivian, "Ms. Myers, it's fine for Ms. Lewis and me to share a car."Vivian was annoyed.Her expression slightly changed, but she suppressed her emotions. "Sure, Mr. Fulton. I'll follow behind you."As the car door closed, the vehicle slowly pulled away.Grace pouted and said jealously, "Xander, Ms. Myers wanted to share a car with you. Aren't you afraid of hurting her pride?"Xander turned his head to look at her and reached out to r

So there's only this one left for you, Mr. Fulton."After saying this, Vivian took out a room card from her bag. She stared at his profile with a seductive gaze, then handed the room card to Xander.As she winked, she said, "Mr. Fulton, I'm staying next door. Feel free to come over anytime for some in-depth discussions."Without waiting for Xander's response, she swayed her hips and left.Xander glanced at the room card. Without hesitation, he threw it into the trash. He took out his phone, intending to call Grace.However, Grace had already rushed up with her suitcase.Seeing Xander, she ignored everything. She disregarded her suitcase and pounced into his arms. With a trembling voice, she said, "Xander, there's ... there's a mouse. A big one."Her face had turned pale from shock, and her body was shaking.Upon seeing her look like a shocked kitten, Xander couldn't help but find it amusing. "Well, then. You can stay in my room tonight."Grace nodded eagerly, not hesitating fo

The moment Grace realized that she and Xander were the only ones in the room, her face blushed.She didn't have to think twice to figure out that Xander must have carried her into the room."Ah, Grace! You're in deep trouble," she regretfully said, paying no attention to Xander beside her as she promptly ushered him out.Xander was bewildered, but he shook his head in resignation.When Grace finished freshening up, Xander had already left the room. She sighed deeply, then sat down at the dining table and earnestly began eating breakfast.However, halfway through her meal, the doorbell rang.Thinking it might be Xander returning, Grace got up to open the door. "Xander, didn't you take your access card?"She froze abruptly. The sight that greeted her wasn't Xander, but a surprised-looking Vivian.Pointing at Grace, Vivian seethed with anger. "You … you stayed here last night?"Grace looked innocent as she asked, "Is there a problem?"Fuming, Vivian asked, "Where's Mr. Fulton?

"Maybe it's just a coincidence that she shares the same surname as the Lewis family.""I agree. Look at her. Does she seem like a wealthy young lady?"Vivian glanced in that direction and concurred with Gina."Never mind. She's not my target for today."Gina nodded. "Rest assured, Ms. Myers. I know your target is Mr. Fulton."Vivian acknowledged it with a hum, not denying Gina's statement.Gina continued, "Mr. Fulton is such a high-quality bachelor. Ms. Myers, you have to get him. Men like him are rare. Once in hand, it's like achieving a social class breakthrough."Arrogantly, Vivian said, "Of course. Men like innocent women occasionally, but generally, they prefer someone sexy and charming. I don't believe I can't win him over."After saying that, she confidently followed the group.The team took an MPV to Soraya Group. As the leading enterprise in Dunhill, it was splendidly decorated.Banners were hung at the entrance that read, "Welcome to Soraya Group, Ms. Lewis and Mr.

"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,
