In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 499 Hiding a Man
Lydia couldn't help but tease, "I'm just curious. When did you buy a house there? And when did you start cooking? It looks so delicious."Come on, spill the beans. Do you have any secrets you're keeping from us?"Grace blushed at those words, and her words became somewhat incoherent. "What secret? I just ... I just shared bits of my life. I didn't expect it to attract so much attention."Lydia clearly didn't believe her and said doubtfully, "Really? Gracie, are you hiding a man in Summitview Manor?"That was such a ridiculous statement."Absolutely not!" Grace blurted out.She looked up at Xander in the dining room, and her heart started pounding again.She quickly held a hand up to her chest, as if to hide her inner turmoil. Then, she said, "I have something else to do. Let's talk later."With that, Grace hung up the phone.But at this moment, she lost the courage to return to the dining room. Leaning against the corner, she cradled her phone and stomped her foot in regret.

"I know that many people want to see me make a fool of myself. But the reason I reached where I am today isn't solely due to this pretty face of mine."Jessica raised her gaze slightly, speaking with a hint of arrogance."Without some real ability, I won't be able to establish myself in this circle. Besides, even if I fall, don't I have to climb to a high place first?"Instead of being concerned about me, why not focus on yourself, Ms. Lewis? I heard you made a bet with your board of directors."Grace raised an eyebrow, unbothered. "You're indeed well-informed, Ms. Landon. That's true."Jessica nodded and became even more triumphant."I initially thought it was just a rumor, but it turns out it's true. I heard the deadline for the bet is approaching, and you don't seem to have much chance of winning."Will the daughter of the world's richest family end up being kicked out of her own company?"Jessica covered her mouth and chuckled. "That would be quite embarrassing."With thes

Albert made a welcoming gesture in a very polite manner. Grace nodded slightly and walked in.The difference in treatment was worlds apart!Jessica wasn't able to stomach getting the cold shoulder. She hurried forward and stopped Albert in his tracks. "Mr. Barnes, Landon Group is sincere about this opportunity. If we can establish a collaboration with your company, we can give you 50% of the profits. I hope you'll give us a chance."50% of profits?That was no small sum!Albert was a businessman, so Jessica didn't believe he would give up such a huge chunk of profits.Albert's lip curved into a smile, but it didn't reach his eyes. He paused to scrutinize Jessica seriously. He said, "Do you think I lack money?"When Jessica heard that, she had a bad feeling. She immediately explained, "Mr. Barnes, please don't get the wrong idea. I'm just expressing how genuine I am about working together. I didn't mean anything else by it."Albert snorted coldly. "Working together? I'm sorr

"You're teasing me, Mr. Barnes. Let's get back to business."Albert nodded, and both of them dove into the topic.…Meanwhile, because of the necklace incident with Kayla, Lydia was busy drafting some new designs. After pulling an all-nighter, she finally came up with a design that she was satisfied with.She looked out the window and stretched. Just as she was about to go to her bedroom to get some rest, the doorbell rang.She found it strange.People rarely showed up on her doorstep. Who could be there so early in the morning?As she walked out of the study, she called out, "Who is it?"There was no answer.She opened the doorbell camera, but she didn't see anyone standing at the door. Just as she turned around to leave, someone rang the doorbell again.This time, a man's voice sounded out of the blue. "We're here to check the water meter. Please open the door."Lydia didn't think too much of it and opened the door. However, in the next second, a few buff men barged in, gi

Grace said apologetically, "Sorry, Mr. Barnes. Something urgent came up, and I need to handle it. Let's stop the discussion here today. We'll keep in touch in case something crops up."With that, she left in a hurry while talking on the phone. Albert stared at her retreating figure in doubt. He ran after her and said, "Ms. Lewis, you seem really worried right now. Did something happen? You can tell me. I might even be able to help you.""Thanks for your kindness, Mr. Barnes. I don't need any help right now."The elevator doors opened, and Grace rushed in. Then, she gave the bank a call. 50 million dollars was doable for her, but it might be difficult to get it in cash.Thanks to Grace's special status, the bank readily agreed. However, they needed an hour to prepare the cash.…At the same time, Caleb also received a text.He was in the middle of a shoot for a magazine cover. As soon as he finished reading the text, he stopped the shoot.He dialed Lydia's number, but the call

Grace was already certain that it was Lydia on the other end. She knew her friend well. In such circumstances, Lydia would absolutely refuse to bring her any trouble. Hence, she hadn't said a word."If you want money, I can give you any amount you want, so long as you don't hurt her. But if anything happens to her, don't even think about getting a single penny."This seemed to persuade the man. He put his hand down and stood up to look down at Lydia.He snorted coldly. "Alright, then deliver the money to the time and place we previously agreed on. If you're late, I won't spare her.""Okay."Grace met Xander's eyes. The latter gave her the thumbs-up sign, and Grace nodded in return. She continued, "Lydia, I know you're there. Don't be afraid. We'll rescue you very soon. Trust me!"When Lydia heard this, she couldn't hold back her emotions anymore. Tears poured down her face. "Gracie, I-I'm so sorry for dragging you into this.""Don't be silly. What's there to be sorry for? I ju

"She should've asked what Kay's uncle did for a living before she did what she did!" Troy's eyes flashed with hatred.He had two reasons for kidnapping Lydia. Firstly, it was for money. Secondly, he wanted to teach Lydia a lesson and give her a taste of what it felt like to get trampled on."Not to mention, she was the one who extorted 30 million dollars from Kay first. All I asked for was 50 million dollars. It's not that much."Troy smirked, looking like a thug. "This woman is quite the looker. Maybe we could have a good time later."A few of them understood what he meant, but they didn't dare act rashly."Troy, we'll let you have first dibs on such a fine specimen. The rest of us will just bask in your good fortune.""Sure! You're all so loyal. Once we get the money, each of you will get five million dollars to splurge," Troy said in agreement."Thanks, Troy!""Troy, you're the best!""Are the cars ready?""Rest assured, Troy. We'll escape in different directions. They won

Just then, Troy's phone rang in his pocket, catching him off guard. Feeling annoyed, he didn't bother with the call. "Fuck!" he shouted, tossing the phone aside. But the phone didn't stop ringing, making him extremely annoyed. He grumbled out loud. He then stood up reluctantly and picked up the phone, leaving Lydia aside. He answered the call after looking at the number."Who's this?" On the other end of the call, Caleb was anxious and infuriated. After his call was answered, he said in a cold voice, "The money is ready. I've sent it to the location you requested. Where is she?" Troy looked at the time and complained, "So fast?"Caleb lost his patience. The veins on his forehead bulged. He said sternly, "Stop your nonsense. Where is she?" Troy glanced at Lydia on the ground and said coldly, "Why such a hurry? I'll let her go when I get the money." Caleb paced back and forth on the spot. He looked around, but there was nothing there. He gritted his teeth and said, "Y

"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,
