In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 359 New Project
After Grace finished speaking, she gestured to Luke. "Bring all the documents for the new projects we're considering."Seeing Grace so composed, Luke also calmed down. "Yes, Ms. Lewis. I'll get them right away."In a short while, he returned with a stack of files.He flipped through the most recent projects worth considering and handed them to Grace. "Ms. Lewis, these projects are all promising. Take a look.""Put them there."Grace casually took a file and carefully examined it. Soon, she pointed to one of the projects in it. "This acquisition case seems to have room for negotiation."Luke had also noticed that project. "Ms. Lewis, the feedback from the evaluation team for this project isn't bad. But all their factories are on an island. If we decide to work with them, we may need to visit the island for inspection."Grace thought for a moment and asked, "Where's the island?""It's in Azure Bay, about 186 miles along the west coast of the city. If we want to inspect them, we'l

The group greeted Grace loudly, startling her. Puzzled, she looked at them. "Max, what's going on?"Max patted his stomach, comfortably sitting on the couch. "Ms. Lewis, we came over to see you."Hearing his answer, Grace felt speechless.She spoke straightforwardly. "You won't come without a reason. Spit it. What's the matter?" Max quickly moved closer to Grace, looking very eager to please her. "You're indeed smart, Ms. Lewis."He continued, "Well, I've been studying chess recently and figured out some new tricks. I just wanted to find an opportunity to play a round with you."Grace raised an eyebrow and asked, "Youre here just for this?"Max nodded repeatedly.Since losing to Grace last time, he had accepted defeat, but his desire to win against her had intensified.So he had been practicing at home during this time, and now he had found a chance to come and go against Grace."Ms. Lewis, can you give me a chance?"Max looked at her pleadingly, showing no signs of a gangs

The moment the other party heard it, he became interested. "Max, since when do you have a boss?"Max gave a mysterious smile. "It's a secret."Beside him, his anxious subordinate quickly interrupted them, saying, "Max, Ms. Lewis might be in trouble."Max's expression instantly changed when he heard that. "What did you say? What happened to her?""Our men just checked Azure Bay and found that the island has blocked all external signals. And the buyer of Azure Bay Island is a human trafficker.""What?"Max stood up abruptly. "Quick, bring me my phone."After saying that, he took his phone and called Grace.…Meanwhile, Grace had just finished her work and was on her way out of the company. As she exited the elevator, she saw a figure dashing through the parking lot.She immediately became alert.She took a couple of steps forward. The next second, she saw a familiar Rolls-Royce Phantom with hazard lights flashing.Then, Xander opened the car door and got out."Gracie."Grac

Luke raised his wrist and checked the time."Ms. Lewis, the ship is leaving in 15 minutes, but there are only three tickets left. The security guards might have to take the next ship.""How long until the next ship?""An hour."Grace took the tickets from Luke's hand. "It's okay. We can go ahead. It's just an inspection. There shouldn't be any problems.""But Mr. Aaron said that the bodyguards have to follow you wherever you go." Luke was worried, especially since they were going to an island. What if something happened to Grace?While Luke was hesitating, Xander walked toward Grace from not far away.Grace quickly waved at him. "Xander, over here."Seeing Xander, Luke was surprised but also impressed. It seemed that Xander and Grace had a really great relationship.Luke's lingering worry vanished upon noticing Xander. With Xander around, Grace should be safe. After that, the three of them boarded the ship. Grace rarely took boats, so she felt somewhat uncomfortable.Fortun

Grace smirked, looking down at the groaning people on the ground. Her tone was devoid of any warmth as she said, "I can walk on my own. I don't need your help."The group of people was dumbfounded.Darien had instructed them to tie Grace up. But after what had just happened, how could they find the courage to act against her?Having witnessed Xander's capabilities, they exchanged glances before clambering to their feet. They had no choice but to give up."Ms. Lewis, please follow us." Their tone no longer carried the arrogance from before. With that said, they took the lead and guided Grace forward.Suddenly, a large hand extended toward her, and Grace felt warmth spread to her palm. She turned her head to look at Xander.At this moment, her heart was unexpectedly calm.Xander held her hand, and the two walked side by side.The weather on the small island was gloomy. Dark clouds covered the sunlight, giving off a sense of oppression.They walked a distance on the small islan

"Darien, you better turn yourself in. Confess about your crimes, and let those women and children you kidnapped go home. Otherwise, dying a thousand times wouldn't be enough to repent your sins."Hearing that, Darien burst into laughter."Turn myself in? Ms. Lewis, that's the funniest joke I've heard in my life."As soon as he said that, his expression changed. The next moment, he reached out and grabbed Grace's chin."Your family has pushed me to a dead end, making it impossible for me to stay in Frenda. They almost took my life. Since you've cut off my path, then let's all die—"Before he could finish, Xander reached out and forcefully hit Darien's arm.A tingling sensation spread, and Darien felt immense pain. He suddenly lost the strength in his hand.He clenched his fist, but the numbness in his hand showed no sign of subsiding. He looked up and stared coldly at Xander. "What did you do?"Xander's eyes darkened, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. "Nothing much. I ju

Darien smiled and put down the pliers in his hand. Then, he picked up a small, sharp knife. "Do you know what this is for?"Grace looked at the small knife and guessed roughly what it was for. Yet Darien gave the answer without waiting. "This is for cleaning your intestines.""Ugh—"Grace couldn't hold back, and her stomach churned.Seeing this, Darien laughed even more wildly. "Ms. Lewis, this is just an appetizer. You can't handle it already?"Today is the day of your death. When you reach hell, don't blame me, okay?"As he spoke, he made a gesture, signaling his men to take action.Just then, Xander stood in front of Grace.He moved his arm, and his eyes were dark and menacing as he looked at the group of people. He was becoming increasingly angry and looked as if he wanted to devour these people alive.Just a glance made the men shiver. All of them stood still, afraid to approach."You bunch of garbage! What are you standing there for? Get on with it!" Darien shouted.Th

Grace's voice was devoid of warmth, making Darien involuntarily shiver. "M-Ms. Lewis, let's talk things out. It's a bit inappropriate to resort to using knives."However, Grace showed no mercy. She cut through his clothes with the small knife and held it against his bare skin."Talk about what? Those people who were treated like this by you before, did they have room for negotiation?""Release Darien, and we can spare your life," someone shouted at Grace.But she sneered and said to Darien, "Tell them to step back, or my hand might slip."Knowing that Grace wasn't joking, Darien sternly said to his men, "What are you still standing there for? All of you, step back!"The group of men looked at each other. Though they were unwilling, they dared not act recklessly. In the end, they could only step back.Grace was now very close to Darien, close enough to see the pores on his skin. She squinted her eyes, suddenly understanding something."The last time we met, you used a disguise.

"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,
