In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 292 Visiting the Mines
The head of Acme Group had been waiting at the hotel entrance early in the afternoon. Upon seeing Grace, he greeted her with great respect. "Ms. Lewis, I'm George Lockwood, Acme Group's president. Here's my business card." "Welcome to Dunhill, and thank you for choosing Acme Group." Grace nodded slightly and took his business card.The name "George" was printed on the golden business card. Grace smiled. "Mr. Lockwood, I've heard a lot about you." "Ms. Lewis, you're too kind." With that, George gestured for her to get in the car. "Welcome, Ms. Lewis and Mr. Fulton!"Grace and Xander got into the chauffeured car. As the car drove along, George enthusiastically acted as a tour guide, talking about the scenery and specialties of Dunhill until they reached the mine. George spoke hesitantly, "Ms. Lewis, although Dunhill is a small place, we're well-developed in mining, agriculture, and farming. Today, let's visit the mines first, and we can go to the farms later." "Thank

After speaking, Grace stood up and walked toward the restroom. However, she didn't notice that several pairs of eyes had been fixed on them, watching her walk away alone. The people hurried in the direction she had left. "Mr. Fulton, at Dunhill, besides the Soraya Group, only Acme Group has the strength to negotiate the million-dollar project with you and Ms. Lewis. What do you think of this partnership?" Xander didn't directly answer him, even though Acme Group was indeed their best option.He remained calm. "This partnership is important to all three companies, and we must be cautious." "After the investigation, both companies will develop a feasible plan, assess the risks, and then we can discuss the partnership further." Xander chose his words carefully. It was hard for anyone to figure out his plans.George had been in the business for so many years, so he understood what Xander was doing. "I agree! We can take it slow and steady! But Mr. Fulton, Acme Group will no

Xander found Grace's last known location using his phone. The signal had disappeared an hour ago. The location was within the mine."Continue searching. She must still be in the mine. Don't bother returning if you can't find her," Xander sternly ordered. Then, he immediately called Aaron. In less than half an hour, Aaron and Caleb arrived on a private plane with a team. A fleet of private planes flew by their side, creating a spectacular scene. Even George, who was accustomed to grand occasions, had never seen such a display and was surprised by Grace's identity.The people Aaron had brought with him had undergone formal training. They were more efficient and sharper than ordinary bodyguards. They had even brought search dogs. After the plane landed, Aaron, Caleb, and Xander gathered together.The three didn't say anything, but they shared a mutual understanding. They divided the teams and started searching for Grace one by one. "Caleb, organize the team to conduct a tho

"Keep searching. There are still two more mines. If we can't find her, we’ll get help from the military," Aaron ordered. Xander quickly stood up, ignoring how tired he felt, and entered the ninth mine with determination. God helped those who helped themselves. Finally, at 3:00 am, Xander found Grace in the last mine. Grace had been dehydrated and had lacked oxygen for over ten hours. She was already in critical condition.Xander carried her on his back. Climbing the stairs one at a time, he took Grace out of the mine. The medical team was already on standby, and as soon as Grace came out, she was urgently handed over to the medical staff for emergency treatment. Time passed slowly as Aaron and Caleb waited outside the emergency room anxiously. Even though they were exhausted from searching all night, they put aside their weariness and focused on Grace."Who the hell put Gracie in the mine? I’ll kill him when I catch him!" Caleb yelled angrily, looking furious. Aaron

After everyone left, relief washed over Kenneth, and he collapsed. Xander waved his hand, and someone dragged Kenneth away. The lights in the emergency room were still on.Xander, Aaron, and Caleb were anxiously waiting for news. It was almost dawn when the lights in the operating room finally went out. The three of them got up and walked toward the door. The doctor came out and took off the mask. Xander asked, "How is she? What's her condition?"The doctor sighed and said, "Her oxygen level was too low. Even though we saved her, she might not wake up." Despair filled Xander's eyes, his voice trembling as he asked, "What ... What are you saying?" "Mr. Fulton, our facilities here are limited. We can't do anything. Ms. Lewis is likely to stay in a coma." "That's impossible!"Caleb's eyes were red, and he said with determination, "Gracie won't stay in a coma! She won't." He refused to believe things would turn out this way. At this moment, Aaron's mind was in chaos.

Henry had never heard Xander speak in such a serious tone. He put aside his joking attitude and asked, "What happened?" "You have to save a life!" Henry understood the urgency upon hearing that one short sentence. He hung up and immediately got up. The beautiful woman behind him shouted, "Henry, are you leaving just like that?" Henry didn't bother to respond. "Everyone, go back and mind your own business." With that said, he ignored the calls of the ladies and arranged for someone to get a private plane.… After a two and a half hour flight, Henry finally arrived at the Dunhill Hospital. "Is that Dr. Henry?" "Oh my god! Am I seeing things?" "It's Dr. Henry!"Henry couldn’t care less about the fawning of the so-called medical team. He had already reviewed Grace's examination reports on the plane and had formulated a surgical plan. As soon as he got there, he changed into surgical attire and entered the operating room. The light outside the operating room lit

"Don't worry, I've never had an unsuccessful operation. Ms. Lewis should be fine now, and I believe she will wake up soon." Everyone felt a sense of relief after hearing this. Xander reached out and patted Henry's shoulder. "Well done!"However, the atmosphere took a turn as Henry tilted his head and rubbed against Xander's shoulder, saying, "Xander, I worked so hard, and all I get is that. Aren't you being a bit ungrateful?" Xander pushed Henry's head away and said, "Just ask for whatever you want. Even if it's the moon, I'll get it for you." Henry was delighted. "You said it. Don't go back on your word." With that, Henry yawned and said, "I'm so tired from the tedious work. I'll take a nap first and come get my reward later."Xander gestured for the bodyguards behind him to take Henry to rest. On the other hand, a group of doctors were gushing in the operating room. "How is this possible? Her brain was deprived of oxygen for so long, yet nothing happened." "This i

"Mr. Lewis, where I stay or go is none of your concern." Benjamin made himself clear. Aaron knew that it was futile to waste any words on Benjamin. "Mr. Hawkins, everyone knows to catch the next train when it misses a station. After all, the train won't turn back, even if you stay at the station. You should understand this logic." After saying that, Aaron left with Caleb. "Aaron, should we just leave him here?" Caleb was still reluctant to leave, but Aaron said, "What can we do if he doesn't leave?""But Gracie doesn't want to see him!" "We must believe that she will make the right choice. She knows who's worth spending a lifetime with." After hearing this, Caleb calmed down and said, "Let's hope so."… Meanwhile, Grace felt like she had been in a long nap and had a long dream. She dreamed of five years ago, the first time she met Benjamin. She was studying for her master's degree at Coronia University School of Design. It was her first time leaving home, and her

"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.

I'm an actress, how could I do such things?""But the video…"Celia lashed out,
