In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 441 The Tables Turned
Jessica stepped forward and gently took Susan's arm to soothe her. "Don't worry. Only you and I know about this. Benjamin will never find out as long as I don't say anything." Susan, however, was panicking. She knew about Benjamin's concern for Grace, and he had warned her not to provoke Grace several times. But this time, she had crossed the line. "Jessica, you must help me keep this a secret!"Jessica smiled and nodded. "Don't worry, Madam Hawkins. The payment for the photographer was done from my account. Even if Benjamin investigates this, he can only trace it back to me and won't suspect you." Hearing this, Susan breathed a sigh of relief, patting her chest. "Good. That's good." "But …" Jessica hesitated, then continued, "You promised to help me with the property deed for the land last time." "That's a small matter, Jessica. Since I've promised you, I will make it happen. Don't worry." Jessica smiled broadly. She linked arms with Susan and said, "Thank you, Mada

"I looked into it, and it turns out that someone paid to stir up the rumors about you and Wayne." "Do you know who it is?" "Not yet, but sooner or later, I'll find out who dared to do something so despicable." Zoey spoke with conviction, then added in a playful tone, "But speaking of which, the netizens are quite sharp-eyed. At least they didn't go off track and focused on the main things. "By the way, Gracie, how about inviting Xander for a get-together tonight?" Grace thought the suggestion was good. "Sure! I'll send him a message."Grace opened her chat with Xander. They hadn't spoken since last night, and Grace's eyes flickered with worry. During this time, she and Xander had been chatting regularly, and they had hardly stopped. The longest gap between their messages before had just been a few hours. But today was strange. It had been a whole night, and Xander hadn't replied to her message. Grace's fingers rapidly tapped on the screen as she sent Xander a message.

The security guard politely replied, "I'm unaware of Mr. Fulton's private matters. But young lady, let me remind you that Mr. Fulton isn't someone you should be trifled with. You'd better not have any ideas about him." Grace was speechless. She was about to say something when she suddenly heard a car horn behind her. Grace turned around and saw Benjamin's car parked by the roadside. Benjamin opened the car door and got out, walking straight toward her. "Grace, why are you here so late?" "Shouldn't I be asking you the question?" Grace replied.Benjamin had happened to be passing by when he saw her, so he had turned around. He looked up and saw the sign on the building, which read "Futurelink Corporation". The words seemed particularly irritating at this moment. "Are you here for Xander?" Benjamin asked. His eyes were filled with jealousy as he tried to read her expression. But Grace simply replied nonchalantly, "Mr. Hawkins, this is my business, and it has nothing to do w

With a stern expression, Benjamin asked coldly, "Mom, don't you have anything you want to explain to me?" Susan stumbled and almost fell, but she managed to hold onto the railing beside her. "I-I don't understand what you're talking about," Susan replied. Benjamin approached her, backing her into a corner. "Mom, do you not realize what you've done?" "You know?" Susan was shaking, and she slowly closed her eyes, overcome with fear. "I-I didn't mean to. I was just upset with that woman, Grace, for being such a show-off. I wanted to teach her a lesson." Hearing that, Benjamin immediately grabbed her arm. "What did you say? What did you do to Grace?"Susan was taken aback. "Isn't this what you were talking about?" Benjamin snorted coldly and let go of her arm. "It seems you've been keeping a lot from me." "No. Benjamin, listen to me. It's not what you think, I—" "That's enough!" Benjamin interrupted her. "Mom, I've given you many chances and told you not to provoke Gra

Susan was left speechless after being reprimanded. "Now you show no signs of remorse. In fact, you're making things worse. You're ruining all hope of them being together," Elizabeth said helplessly. She then looked at Benjamin. "Benjamin, do what you need. I'll support you. Your mother is at fault. But she's still your mother, no matter what. You have to show her some respect."Elizabeth let out a heavy sigh. "Grandma ..." Elizabeth waved her hand and didn't say anything more. She turned and walked away, trembling slightly. "Benjamin, I know it's my fault. I realize it now." Benjamin stared at Susan coldly, not saying a word. After a pause, he asked, "The piece of land for Jessica, did you acquire it under the Hawkins family's name?"Susan hesitated and slowly came to a realization. "Did you come back today to talk about this?" Benjamin ignored her question and asked, "Do you know who Jessica is?" Susan was puzzled, her eyes filled with confusion. Benjamin leaned

Benjamin slightly nodded and simply said, "Danielle, the real estate industry isn't doing well at the moment. There will soon be major reforms from above. Your hasty investment might very well trap your funds." Upon hearing this, Jessica's smile grew even wider. But she said maliciously, "Benjamin, aren't you just saying this because you're afraid I'll go against Grace? Are you worried that if I build Landon Group up, I'll confront Grace head-on?" Benjamin shook his head, his tone cold and disdainful as he said, "You're not worthy to be her opponent."Jessica's face turned cold. Before she could speak, Benjamin took out the evidence he had already prepared. "At least she wouldn't stoop to such lowly tactics like you." With that, he pushed the documents at her, hitting Jessica painfully. "You leaked those photos online, right? And you hired the internet trolls. Did I get that right?" Jessica hadn't expected Benjamin to trace it back to her so quickly, but she wasn't panic

Grace stared blankly at her phone, lost in thought. "Ms. Lewis, here is your ginger tea. Please drink it while it's hot." Marien's voice broke Grace's train of thought. Grace quickly composed herself and said, "Just leave it, thanks." "Okay." As Marien was about to leave, Grace stopped her. "Marien, do you think if someone is suddenly out of reach, it could mean something has happened?" Marien was experienced in her ways. Seeing Grace's furrowed brows, she instantly understood. "Ms. Grace, you're not talking about Mr. Fulton, are you?" Grace blushed at having her thoughts read. "Marien, you ..." Marien explained with a smile, "You've been mentioning Mr. Fulton for the past few days. It's hard for an old lady like me to ignore it."Grace's face turned even redder. "Marien, what are you saying?" Marien reassured her, "Don't worry, Ms. Grace. If Mr. Fulton hasn't been in touch for a while, it might be because he's tied up with something. I believe he will contact you as

At this point, Grace instantly came to a realization. "Caleb, are you suggesting we bring Kayla into Amirate Corporation?" Caleb hummed in agreement. "That's exactly what I'm thinking." Grace nodded but didn't say anything else. It was widely known that actresses like Kayla, who have already debuted and gained some popularity, were challenging to recruit for a company. After all, an actress only started to make money once they gained popularity and heat. But now Kayla was voluntarily willing to join Amirate Corporation. "Ms. Lewis, do you not welcome me?" Kayla asked in a joking tone. "Of course not. How could that be? It's an honor to have you join our company, Ms. Green." "I look forward to working with you!"Kayla looked up at Caleb beside her. The affection in her eyes was something any woman could recognize. Grace immediately understood. It was clear that Kayla hadn't made this decision for work. Her true intentions were something else. Just as Grace was abou

"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,
