In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 389 The Cause of the Accident
The housekeeper explained, "Ever since Ms. Jessica's accident, she's avoided this place to repress the painful memories. So these are all her previous works. Did you not find the drawing she mentioned?" "That's not it," Grace muttered. Then, she took out her phone and said, "I'm not sure which one it is. I'll take a picture and ask her." The housekeeper didn't doubt her and replied, "Sure, go ahead. While you're at it, ask Ms. Jessica if she will return anytime soon. That would be best."The housekeeper sounded like she was looking forward to it. Grace looked up at her. She couldn't help but think that she, too, had grown up without her parents. Fortunately, she had always had Marien around to care for her and had lived a comfortable life. "You've watched Jessica grow up, so you must be close to her, right?" The housekeeper replied, "I'm just a housekeeper." She made her identity and position clear with a simple statement. Grace didn't press on further but quickly took

"Callum, there's been progress in the case you asked to investigate." Callum's lips curled into a devilish smile. "Did you find the police officer who handled the case?" "Yes, I found him. He's at the police station. Do you want to come over?" Callum glanced at Grace and Xander and agreed without hesitation, "Alright, we'll be right there." After ending the call, Callum said to them, "Either way, going there will clear everything up!" Upon hearing this, Grace felt an unexpected unease in her heart. It was very sudden, and it made her jittery all over. The feeling persisted until their car stopped at the police station, and she gradually calmed down. Xander sensed her anxiousness and whispered, "It's okay. No matter the outcome, we'll face it together." Grace said softly, "Thank you, Xander."Callum watched them in the front seat and couldn't help but chuckle. He had never seen Xander so gentle. It seemed Grace had quite an effect on him! "Xander, do you think this mi

"Chief Hopkins, you know who I am. Can't you make an exception?" Timothy looked troubled, his brows furrowing as he muttered, "Mr. Stevens, this isn't appropriate." Callum hadn't expected Timothy to be so stubborn. He was about to say something when Xander stopped him. Xander remained unbothered, and he spoke calmly. He carried himself like a true leader. "Let's meet the police officer handling the case first." Callum's irritation instantly diminished. "Alright." The contrast in his behavior before and after was so stark that Timothy, who was standing nearby, was left dumbfounded. He was more curious about Xander's identity now. Hence, his attitude toward Xander improved. "Mr. Fulton, this way, please."They entered the police station. When they walked into the office, a uniformed officer was already waiting. "Mr. Fulton, Mr. Stevens, this is Officer James Anderson," Timothy introduced. "Officer Anderson, this is Mr. Stevens. You can discuss the details of the case wit

Grace looked up at James. "You said there were two survivors. Was there another survivor besides Jessica?" James nodded. "Yes. He was a young man in his 20s from Pamore." "Pamore?" Grace's heart skipped a beat, feeling somehow connected to the matter. "Can you tell me the name of that survivor?" James smiled and declined Grace's request. "Sorry, I can't tell you that." This response left Grace somewhat disappointed. The other survivor was a man. Even if he was from Pamore, he didn't seem to have much to do with Jessica. Just then, Xander realized something and asked, "You said there were three fatalities at the scene. Besides Jessica's parents, can you share information about the other deceased?"James didn't attempt to hide this information. "The third victim was also from Pamore, a young woman, probably the young man's girlfriend. She suffered severe burns, especially to her face. Two-thirds of it burned. "After her death, the young man was deeply grieved. He eve

Grace left the police station dejectedly. Xander followed closely beside her and offered her a bottle of water. "Drink some water. Let's get some rest." Grace shook her head slightly. "Xander, I need some time alone." She walked alone along the path while Xander stood still, his gaze fixed on her retreating figure. Callum returned and asked, "Why aren't you following her? What if something happens to her here?" "Give her some space. We'll just follow behind." After saying this, Xander started walking, following Grace from a distance. Callum shrugged helplessly. He shook his head and followed Xander's pace. "Xander, it's been so many years. Haven't you made any progress?" Callum looked at Grace and continued, "You shouldn't hesitate! If you delay, she might run off with someone else again—" Before he could finish, Xander shot him a look.Callum shut his mouth compliantly and pondered momentarily before saying, "I'm just reminding you. You don't have to keep some thing

Grace was utterly confused. Who was he? Why did he feel so familiar, especially with that faint scent of sandalwood on him? It seemed like she had smelled it somewhere before. And what had he meant by that? Had Jessica sent him? But Grace didn't feel like he seemed to have any ill intentions. She looked around. Her mind was clouded with even more questions. "Grace, what's wrong?" Callum hurried over, panting slightly. He had been startled when Grace had suddenly run into the crowd, so he had quickly gotten out of the car and followed her.Grace grabbed his arm and asked, "Did you see that man?" Callum was confused. "What man? Did someone mess with you? Tell me, I'll sort it out." He got ready to take action. But Grace shook her head. "No. It was just a strange man. He looked ..." Grace thought for a while but couldn't accurately describe the man's appearance.Callum looked around and didn't notice anyone suspicious, so he thought Grace might have been mistake

Xander remained silent. He merely smiled, but the subtle movement of his hand on the side betrayed his emotions. He gazed at the laptop screen before him, and his eyes gradually darkened. He wasn't the one who had found these images. Someone had intentionally sent them to him. Unfortunately, their skills were on par with his, and he couldn't find any traces of who sent it. Despite tracing the IP address, he had only managed to find a virtual IP.Xander suddenly said, "Gracie, let's go home." The fact that someone had provided him with evidence so quickly meant they wanted him and Grace to leave Coronia as soon as possible. It seemed there were many secrets to this matter. Grace shared the same sense of curiosity. They had searched extensively and found no results, and now these files had suddenly dropped into their laps. "Xander, I can't help but find this a bit strange," Grace said. Xander smiled, thinking that she was as sharp as ever. The two exchanged a meaningful l

Xander smiled gently and tightened his grip on Grace's hand. "I'm curious about that, too. However, a fox will eventually reveal its tail." … Meanwhile, Jessica lounged by the beach, enjoying the sun in Pamore. She held a glass of wine between her fingers with contentment. "Mr. Hawkins, why the stern face? How about sitting down and having a drink with me?" Benjamin looked down at her, and although she looked unfamiliar, she oddly gave him a sense of familiarity. "Name your price," Benjamin said, his tone devoid of warmth.Jessica smirked, raising an eyebrow. "You're straightforward, Mr. Hawkins. However, I'm curious. Why are you here to see me today? What reasons do you have? I recall you and Grace divorced long ago." Benjamin had no intention of wasting another breath on Jessica. His purpose for meeting her was simply to persuade her to retract her accusations against Grace. "This is between me and her. It's none of your business."Benjamin took out a blank check

"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

"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

"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,
