In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 44 Are You Done
Benjamin hadn't been able to pretend like he hadn't seen anything. He had come to get Grace out of there, whether she liked it or not.But when he had gotten to the room, he had heard that Cameron had been injured. It was only when he saw Grace looking relaxed that he realized how wrong he had been about her.Something was tugging at his chest. It hurt.Grace's mocking gaze felt like a whip lashing his face. He didn't have the courage to walk over, let alone pretend to be interrogating her. Trust? What trust? He didn't remember giving that to Grace, even when they had been married. After Grace left the hotel, she saw doctors coming out of an ambulance and running inside with a stretcher.She called her butler and asked him to send a car. Then, she spotted Benjamin in his fancy suit standing nearby."I'll drive you," he said calmly, as if there was still room for negotiation.Grace was surprised, but that didn't make her gaze any less harsh. "No, thanks. I would just sully

Grace casually sat down and smirked. "Getting discharged after just one night in the hospital? You sure are a tough guy, Mr. Luther.""You flatter me, Ms. Lewis. I was just worried my absence would affect the company's performance."Cameron's head was still bandaged, and he was actually wearing a patient's attire underneath. Still, he spoke up with an embarrassed expression."Also, I forgot to tell you about Barnes Group, so I quickly came back."Grace nodded toward the couch, motioning for him to sit. This man really needed a beating. He had refused to talk when she asked nicely, but here he was offering the information on his own after he had gotten beaten up."Barnes just announced the completion of their nanobots project. It's a perfect match for Amirate's medical development project."Grace's gaze turned irritated, and she massaged her temples before replying harshly, "Tell me something useful or get out."Cameron started shaking. He knew she was the real deal, not just s

Grace composed herself, took her phone out, and called Aaron, who had just gotten back to Darai. This was strange. Why would Timothy give up his cushy job as Donegan Enterprises' president in Darai and apply to work at her branch office in Pamore? There was obviously something fishy, so it was best if she asked Aaron about this.When Aaron picked up, he said in a mature but fond tone, "Yes, Grace?"Grace glanced at the director, who was standing awkwardly at the side. Then, she whispered into the phone, "Aaron, Timothy's in Pamore, and he just applied to work here. Did the Donegans go bankrupt?"Aaron laughed. Grace had always hated Timothy, to the point that she was merciless when insulting him. "No, Mr. Donegan Senior sent him back. I didn't know about his application, though.""Got it. I'll have him fired immediately.""Calm down, Grace." Aaron advised. "We both know how good Timothy is. He's a genius when it comes to investments. "If he works for our investment dep

That night, Grace and Emily met up to collect something she had bought from a luxury store. When they entered the store, a staff member immediately recognized Grace and got their manager to attend to them.The manager smiled and said, "One moment, Ms. Lewis. The jewelry you purchased is so valuable that we still have it in the safe. It will take us some time to collect it."He offered, "Why don't we browse the other items while we wait?" Grace shook her head. "It's fine. We can browse them ourselves." After walking around the store with Grace, Emily said excitedly, "Babe, there's not a lot of pretty clothes on the first floor. Let's go to the second one."She tried to take Grace upstairs, but the manager stopped them with a conflicted face. "I'm sorry, but the second floor has been cleared out by some ladies. You can't enter."Grace smiled at the manager. "It's alright. We'll leave after we get my order."The manager thanked her gratefully. It was so rare to see a rich but

"How can a necklace be so expensive? This shop is ripping us off!"Susan was usually very good at keeping up appearances, but when push came to shove, her stinginess came on full display. The sound of her shrill voice made the staff members wince at once. The manager came up and explained, "Madam Hawkins, this is the custom-made design made by Vere Jewelry and our brand. "The yellow diamonds on it had once been worn by the Queen of Eligo. This is actually a very low price …""Do you think I'll believe the nonsense you salespeople spout? You all have the gift of the gab. "Do you really think that it's that easy to make money off of the rich?" Susan scolded, pointing accusingly at the store's manager. The manager had met several difficult customers before, but it was the first time she had dealt with someone as blunt as Susan. His face flushed and turned pale. "Why are you deliberately making things difficult for them?" Grace scoffed, her tone gradually turning frosty. "Y

"Ms. Lewis, you sure are pretty skilled at riding."Albert praised Grace, and his gaze was sincere with no intent to offend.Grace glanced briefly at Benjamin, who was standing beside them. She turned to Albert and said, "Mr. Barnes, could we find a place to talk alone?"Barnes Group was a company that focused on core technology development.In the five years since its establishment, it had developed countless innovative, intelligent bionic robots, and it had received praise from various fields. This time, the nanorobot technology was an unprecedented technological breakthrough and could potentially solve historically difficult problems in medical care. That was why Grace had wanted to negotiate this collaboration after she had taken up her new post at Amirate. Benjamin's gaze darkened, and he sounded displeased. "Barnes Group has already signed a contract with Hawkins Group. What is there that cannot be spoken about openly?"His gaze never left Grace. From the moment she ha

Benjamin halted at once, and he directed an enigmatic gaze at Grace. He stood coldly without saying anything. This woman was beautiful and unpredictable, and he could never guess what she was thinking. All her questions seemed more like traps. It was as if taking one step closer to her would plunge him into an abyss.He wasn't sure whether or not he still had feelings for her, but he did regret ending their marriage too early. Grace lowered her gaze with a light smile, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes. "Oh! Forgive me for my slip of the tongue. Someone with a heart of stone like Mr. Hawkins would never be influenced by such insignificant past events."She continued, "As a businessman, profits come first. I'm sure you don't need me to remind you of that. You should know even better than me.""What exactly do you want to say?"Benjamin's expression was stormy, and his voice was cold and oppressive.Grace was unaffected. "Since you're not refusing to let Amirate Cor

Grace was unconcerned about the outcome of the second round. She focused her attention on the third curve instead. At the crucial moment, she once again overtook Benjamin by a tiny step and ultimately reached the finish line first. Their silent competition had ended with Grace's victory. The people on the viewing stand had all been filled with anxiety. Seeing the race end, they cheered for Grace's victory.This was how horse racing was. No one would know the final result until the last moment.After riding another round as a buffer, Grace reined in her horse in front of Benjamin and leapt down. She was smiling vividly, and as she took off her helmet, her black hair cascaded down her shoulders. Her beauty was so breathtaking that it was impossible to look away from her. She was panting slightly from the race as she said, "Mr. Hawkins, you lost."Grace had once gotten first place in the Queen Cup and received the Queen's praise. She had loved horseback riding ever since sh

"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
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 826 Willing to Testify
"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
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 823 No Longer Under Fulton Group
"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,
