In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 452 How Did You Get Hurt
Grace stood before him, sizing him up from head to toe. She couldn't help but feel upset when she saw him standing there, unharmed. She pursed her lips and asked, "Where have you been these past few days? I couldn't contact you at all and thought that you—" Before she could finish, Xander reached out and pulled her into his embrace. Grace immediately felt much calmer as she settled into his familiar embrace. She quietly leaned against him, forcing back the words she had been about to say.Xander whispered, his warm breath tickling her ear as he gently said, "Sorry for making you worry, Gracie." There had been some urgent issues at Fulton Group's headquarters. He had been dealing with them in Frenda, and he couldn't contact her. He had rushed back as soon as he had seen her missed calls and messages. After his flight had landed, he had come straight to Amirate Corporation, just so he could see her sooner. Grace pouted, obviously unhappy. "Why couldn't I get through to you

As soon as she finished speaking, Xander pulled her into his embrace, whispering in her ear, "Okay." Their bodies pressed close together, and Grace could distinctly feel the thudding of her heart against her chest. She struggled to escape from his embrace. "Where's the first aid kit? I'll tend to your wounds." "There's no need for that. The doctor has already taken care of it." "It's okay. It seems like your wound has reopened," Grace said, then turned around and began looking for the first aid kit. Watching her bustle around, Xander smiled and stood up, walking toward another cabinet. "The first aid kit is here." Slightly embarrassed, Grace hurriedly took the kit from him. "Sit down. I'll change your dressing." Xander obediently did as told. His eyes were fixed on her as they sat on the couch. Grace opened the first aid kit, took out the tools, and carefully tended to his wound. Her actions were gentle, each one done with the utmost care until she removed the origi

Xander then said to Peter, "There's no need to hide my schedule from her. Whatever she asks, just tell her the truth." Shock flashed through Peter's eyes when he heard Xander's instructions. Xander had many connections and rivals from his years in the business industry. For safety reasons, his itinerary had always been kept confidential. Peter had worked for Xander for many years, always in the shadows. He had never appeared in public. But today, Xander had revealed his existence to this woman without any reservations. Evidently, Xander trusted Grace completely. "Understood, Mr. Fulton," Peter responded, never doubting Xander's decision. If Xander trusted Grace, he would trust her completely as well."Alright, you can go now." "Yes, Mr. Fulton." Once Peter left, Xander took Grace's hand. "Gracie, I have some special matters to deal with for a while." Grace had already sensed something was amiss but didn't ask further. She just nodded, looking up at him. "I understand

"What are you looking at?" Xander's sudden voice interrupted Grace's thoughts, but her gaze remained fixed on an ornament placed not too far away. She pointed to the ornament and asked, "Xander, why do you also have one of these ceramic rocking horses?" Xander followed her gaze and smiled. "Oh, do you have one too?" Grace nodded and said, "Yours is exactly like mine, but unfortunately, mine broke a long time ago." She looked away. Her tone was tinged with sadness. There was a flicker in Xander's eyes, but he concealed it well. "It seems like a pity." He handed her a set of brand-new pajamas and a towel. "You should rest early." Grace accepted them and said, "I know. You should rest early too. Good night!" Xander didn't linger any longer and left the bedroom. Grace couldn't help but smile as she looked at the pajamas and towel in her hands.…Meanwhile, Benjamin returned to Hawkins Manor after a business gathering late at night, reeking of alcohol. He sat in the back

"I understand, grandma, don't worry." Elizabeth sighed. "Now only you and I are left in this house. How can I not worry about you?"Then, she asked, "By the way, how is Grace doing?" At the mention of Grace, Benjamin simply said, "Grandma, don't worry. She's doing well." Hearing this, Elizabeth nodded understandably. "Yes, Grace is a good girl. It's just a pity you two weren't destined for each other. If only ... well, let bygones be bygones. It's late. You should rest early too." "Yes, Grandma, you should go back to sleep." After leaving Elizabeth's room, Benjamin went straight back to his bedroom. Over the past three years, he had rarely been at home, with Grace taking care of everything. Now, after their divorce, he had been coming home more frequently. But sometimes he found himself missing the times when Grace still lived there.Benjamin pushed the door open and found no signs of Grace. Any traces of her had been gradually erased over time. He stood before the wi

Grace's heart felt whole as she held the warm milk and looked at Xander. "Xander, I didn't expect you to be so talented. When did you start learning to cook?" She was surprised that, despite knowing him for so many years, she was unaware of the hidden skills he possessed. Xander replied calmly, "I learned it long ago. It just happened to come in handy today." The most important thing was that she had finally gotten the chance to taste his cooking. Xander looked down with a smile. "If you like it, I can cook for you more often." Grace agreed without hesitation, "Yes, please! That would be wonderful."… After breakfast, Xander dropped Grace off at Amirate Corporation.After getting out of the car, she waved to Xander and watched him leave before entering the office. To her surprise, as soon as she entered, Caleb caught her. "Gracie!" Caleb approached her quickly, his eyes scanning her, making Grace feel puzzled. She asked, "What are you looking for?" "Be honest. Why

"Gracie, you must have been busy with work recently," Elizabeth said. Grace smiled softly and said, "It's alright. The company is on the right track now." "Good. That's good," Elizabeth said. But her words were followed by a few coughs, which made Grace frown slightly. "Grandma, are you feeling unwell?" "It's nothing, just the usual." Grace couldn't help but worry. During her three years with the Hawkins family, Elizabeth had always been kind to her and a source of comfort for her. "Have you seen a doctor?" "Yes, I have. Don't worry about me. I called because I haven't seen you for a while and wanted to talk to you." "It's okay. I'll come to see you after work."Elizabeth was delighted by that. "Really? That would be wonderful! The house has been quite empty lately. If you could come to see me, nothing could make me happier." "Grandma, don't say that. You've always been like family to me." Hearing this, Elizabeth's eyes welled up with tears. "You're always so thoug

The assistant quickly handed over the information to Samuel. "I found it, Mr. Walker. The Eastwood property was bought by the newly established Landon Group." "Huh? They are a new company and had such audacity to snap up such an important piece of land?" Samuel was surprised and asked, "Did you find out anything else?" "Mr. Walker, Landon Group isn't as simple as it seems. It appears that this company has connections with the former Quine Group and Hawkins family." "The Hawkins family? Benjamin Hawkins?" "Exactly!" "It seems I was right. Even Benjamin thinks this land is valuable. Grace really is blind for not taking on this project." "Indeed, Mr. Walker! Ms. Lewis seems to have missed the mark this time. Although Landon Group has acquired the land, it's too much for them to handle alone." Samuel laughed and said, "This is the perfect opportunity. Contact the owner of Landon Group and arrange a meeting." "Mr. Walker, there's no time to waste. I've already contacted Ms

"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,
