"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
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 51 You Lost
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

Frederick was stunned by his friend's retort. But he just assumed Benjamin was in a bad mood because he had lost. "I haven't got time to ask that flirty woman. I'd rather just avoid people like that.""Really?" Grace's cold voice rang out right behind Frederick, and he jumped in shock.He turned around and flipped out. "Why do you walk so silently?""I'm right here. You can ask me straight to my face." Grace stood with her arms folded, and there was an imposing glare in her eyes. She had obviously heard Frederick insulting her behind her back. Benjamin stood quietly to the side. Although he didn't look directly at Grace, he couldn't help glancing at her a few times. He didn't know why, but he felt perturbed. "Pshh, I was never interested in women like you to begin with. Don't throw yourself at me, and go and find your patron," Frederick flapped his hands contemptuously. Grace walked forward in her high heels, and her demeanor made Frederick take a step back. "Has anyon
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 53 I Just Like Holding Grudges
A misunderstanding?It was a huge misunderstanding!Grace narrowed her eyes dangerously, and the image of this fellow humiliating her flashed vividly through her mind. It wasn't as simple as a tiny misunderstanding. "That's a coincidence. It's just who I am."She was great in all aspects, except for the fact that she loved holding grudges. Remembering Aaron's instructions, Grace felt a sense of satisfaction in teasing Timothy by not telling him her true identity and watching him run around her clumsily. "You'd better stay far away from me, understand?"Timothy wasn't listening at all. Instead, he focused on opening the box. Inside, there was an emerald bracelet that emitted a soft glow, and one look was enough to tell that it was very expensive. It was several hundred times better than the one Yvonne had slapped away in a huff before."Last time I said that I would give you a token of my appreciation. Have a look and see if you like it."Timothy had spent a long time se
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 54 What Are You Going to Do About It
"Ms. Lewis, I couldn't stop him …" The secretary looked awkward. Grace said calmly, "It's okay. Shut the door."Cameron's ribs were much better now, and the bandages on his face had been taken off. "Ms. Lewis, I saw the Barnes Group project proposal. My name isn't on it. Was it overlooked?"Grace twirled a gold pen between her fingers, and her expression was indifferent. "It wasn't overlooked. I didn't tell them to add your name.""Ms. Lewis, we agreed upon this." The smile on Cameron's face had disappeared, and he looked sinister. "It's not courteous to burn your bridges." Grace gazed sharply at Cameron. "You should remember that I am your boss. Naturally, I have reasons for my decision."Cameron gave up all pretense and flattery. He said through gritted teeth, "Ms. Lewis, you're going overboard.""Am I? What are you going to do about it?"Grace laughed indifferently. She took out a thick wad of pictures and tossed them on the table, then gestured at it with her chin.
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 55 I Won't Watch From the Sidelines
The basics of the collaboration between Barnes Group, Hawkins Group, and Amirate Corporation had been settled.After they made sure there were no problems with the contract, they only had to go over the details. As the parties who were providing both funds and manpower, Amirate Corporation and Hawkins Group naturally needed to check everything.A slight oversight in the process could result in millions in profit losses, and no one would want their money to be wasted. Grace opened the project schedule and frowned slightly. "Why haven't any of the people Amirate Corporation provided been added to the exchange project?"It was common practice for the three companies to share strategies. But the document clearly stated that Barnes Group and Hawkins Group would share, and only Amirate Corporation was omitted. "Hawkins Group and Barnes Group have been working on this project until now. It would slow down progress if we added Amirate Corporation's staff members to it. "When there's
