In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 424 It Has Nothing to Do With Her
"It's your choice whether to believe me or not.""Hah, Grace, you're quite arrogant. Aren't you afraid I'll ruin everything you have?"Grace smiled, but her eyes were icy. "That depends on whether you're capable enough."Danielle had a determined expression. "Since you've put it that way, starting today, you should be careful."Landon Group won't let go of any of Amirate's projects. I'll make sure you fall from grace."Unyielding, Grace raised her eyes, meeting Danielle's head on. "Ms. Quine, are you declaring war on me?"Danielle shrugged, seemingly nonchalant. "So what if I am? By the way, let me remind you—I won't just snatch your business. I might even snatch your man too."Do you know why Benjamin used to take special care of Yvonne and even divorced you for her?"Feeling smug, Danielle tilted her chin. "That's because I asked him to take care of my family. He even went against you for the sake of my family. Grace, you loved Benjamin so much. It must be painful for you."

Benjamin composed his expression but remained silent.Danielle continued with a cold sneer, "But as a woman, I can clearly tell that Grace has no feelings for you, Benjamin. You should give up."Her words seemed to provoke Benjamin. He snapped, "Enough, Danielle.""Why? Are you unwilling to accept it?"Benjamin's lips twitched slightly. "Those who commit sins will perish. If you want to start over, I can give you the greatest support. Consider it Alexander's compensation for you.""Don't mention him!" Danielle yelled.Her emotions became extremely unstable. "Benjamin, don't mention him in front of me."Holding her head, she was in a state of losing control.As she turned around, she looked coldly at Benjamin, almost raging. "Benjamin, if you're willing to help me, invest 500 million dollars in Landon Group. Otherwise, I'll take Grace with me in death."When it came to money, Benjamin didn't hesitate for a moment.He took out his checkbook from his pocket and signed his name o

"There's a business reception tonight. It's time for Amirate to explore some new projects. Would you like to go and take a look?"Grace's eyes lit up, and she readily agreed."Sure, I've been worrying about the performance for the second half of the year. I haven't figured out anything yet, but maybe I can develop some new projects through this opportunity."…At 7:00 pm, Santio Grand Hotel, which was located in Pamore's most luxurious spot, was now brightly lit. There was a constant stream of people entering the hotel.Most of those attending this business reception were from some of Pamore's top-notch enterprises.In other words, if one could get an invitation to this reception, they must already have considerable wealth. Naturally, Hawkins Group was invited as well.After helping Benjamin get ready in his suit and tie, Larry respectfully said, "Mr. Hawkins, Futurelink is one of the organizers of tonight's business reception. Ms. Lewis is likely to attend."Benjamin's movemen

At the mention of Celia, Benjamin's eyes darkened, and his face became quite grim.Susan snorted and also began to complain to Benjamin. "Benjamin, you sent Cece abroad, and she has already suffered so much. When are you going to bring her back? Do you really want me to never meet my daughter again?"Benjamin turned around. His tone was calm as he replied, "Mom, if you want to stay with Celia, I can arrange that for you anytime."At those words, Susan immediately shut up.Astana, where Cece was, was poor and desolate, with a very bad living environment.Susan wasn't young anymore. If she were sent to such a place, she might not last a few days before her life was put in danger."Benjamin, I didn't mean that. I just miss Cece … Forget it. She made mistakes. It's okay if you want to punish her a bit. Luckily, I have Jessica with me now.""In that case, Ms. Landon, please take care of her."Looking obedient, Jessica said, "Mr. Hawkins, rest assured. I'll take good care of Madam Ha

"Madam Hawkins, it's been a long time. You seem to be getting younger and younger.""What have you been busy with lately? Don't you have time to play cards with us?""We should get together when we have the chance."Listening to the crowd's "expressions of concern", Susan couldn't help but feel extremely satisfied. It was as if she had regained the feeling of being the center of attention as she had before.A sense of pride quickly welled up in her heart.Jessica, who was by her side, naturally attracted everyone's attention. "Madam Hawkins, this is …"Hearing that, Jessica took the initiative to be friendly. "Hi, everyone. I'm Jessica Landon."Upon hearing that, the crowd couldn't help but size Jessica up. Yet she was completely unfamiliar to them. So they concluded that she wasn't the daughter of any of the prestigious families.Hence, they didn't pay much attention to Jessica. Their attitudes toward her instantly cooled, and they showed no intention of interacting with her.

Jessica elaborated on her situation, adding exaggerations to her story. Almost every word that came out of her mouth was aimed at defending herself.As Susan listened, her face contorted with anger. "That Grace is really not a good person. She's so malicious. She treated Cece and me that way before."Jessica lowered her gaze, feigning sadness as she sighed. "Sadly, I'm insignificant, and she's the Lewis family's daughter. I can't do anything to her. I can only endure."Susan knew that feeling all too well.In the past, she had also suffered at the hands of Grace. Even now, there was no news from Celia in Astana. They were separated by a great distance.Patting Jessica's hand, Susan pretended to console her. "You're not at fault, my dear. It's just that Grace is too cunning."Don't worry. The mills of justice grind slowly but surely. We just need to wait and see how miserable her end will be."Jessica nodded, humming in agreement. She then linked arms with Susan, appearing quite

The wealthy lady sarcastically remarked, "Mrs. Hawkins, I don't think you're jealous. You're regretful—extremely regretful."After all, you were blind and turned down the opportunity to have the world's richest family's daughter as your daughter-in-law. Now you've found a—"She scrutinized Jessica, not bothering to hide her disdain as she said, "You found a person who can't be brought to the table. It's truly indescribable."Susan became anxious. "What nonsense are you talking about? Who did you say is blind? Explain yourself."Smiling, the wealthy lady shook her head and didn't bother engaging in further discussion with Susan. Instead, she walked toward Grace.Left alone, Susan stomped her foot in frustration."Ms. Lewis." The wealthy lady greeted Grace with a demeanor that was in stark contrast to how she had spoken to Susan.Grace smiled. "Nice to meet you, Mrs. Wright."Evelyn Dixon, who was known as Mrs. Wright, didn't expect Grace to know her. She felt greatly satisfied.

Xander leaned in and pecked her lips, silencing all the words Grace was about to say.At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and Grace stared wide-eyed at him.She forgot to react.Xander chuckled affectionately and embraced her tighter. "Gracie, I hope we can have a happy marriage soon."Dumbfounded, Grace looked at him blankly. It took her several seconds to react. Then, she responded with a shy and soft hum.Her consent brought a gleam of joy to Xander's eyes. "Gracie, are you serious?"Grace smiled and looked him in the eyes.As Xander looked into her eyes, which were reflecting his figure, he smiled brightly.He had been waiting for this day for too long.The crowd around them also had their eyes fixed on them, and Grace's cheeks turned even redder. "Xander, there are people around."Only then did Xander release her.Grace quickly turned her face away and took a deep breath. She could feel the disoriented beats of her heart. This feeling was both familiar and unfam

"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

"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,
