In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 510 A Moment of Truth
"What?"Xander turned and looked at Grace. With a serious expression, he analyzed the situation for her. "Do you know why Lydia never told Caleb how she feels, even though she's liked him for so many years?"Stumped and surprised, Grace shook her head. She had always wondered about it. As far as she knew, Lydia was someone with clear goals and direction. Once Lydia set her mind on something, she would go all out to achieve it. She had pursued jewelry design earnestly because she had liked it so much and had eventually become a renowned jewelry designer. She had even founded her own brand. Lydia was undoubtedly outstanding and strong-willed. Once her mind was fixed on a goal, she persisted until she got to the very end of it.Her feelings for Caleb were no exception. She had persisted for many years without wavering. However, Grace found it difficult to understand the matters of the heart unless they concerned her."Then, what could be the reason? Xander, do you know?" X

Grace fell into thought. She finally understood the whole matter.Lydia had actually let Kayla off lightly by asking her to pay 30 million dollars. Grace hadn't expected this incident to cause more problems."Troy is Kayla's uncle. According to what he said, he took action to help Kayla fight against injustice."Grace snorted coldly. "Does this have anything to do with Kayla?"Xander didn't say anything. Instead, he handed his phone to her. She clicked on it and saw a video.In the video, Kayla was crying. She explained tearfully, "Ms. Lewis, this matter has nothing to do with me! I didn't know about it at all. "I just complained to my uncle a little. I didn't expect him to do that. You must believe me! I would never dare tell him to do that!"She couldn't listen anymore and turned the phone off. "She's so good at shifting the responsibility to Troy."Even if Kayla hadn't instigated this matter, it still had something to do with her!"It would be better if this matter had not

Seeing that Grace wasn't saying anything, Troy thought Max's name had frightened her. So he added, "Are you scared? Then, let me go! If Max comes, he won't let you off the hook!""Let you go? Stop daydreaming! I'll only send you to prison."He smiled. "You won't succeed. Max knows people in the police too.""Really? I'd like to see if he'll save you." As Grace said that, she took out her phone and called Max.Troy thought she was just acting. How could she have anything to do with Max? Unexpectedly, Max's voice came from the phone."Ms. Lewis, it's so rare that you take the initiative to call me."Grace got straight to the point. "I have something to ask you.""Go ahead!""Do you know Troy Barker?"Max fell into thought and soon recalled something. "I know him. He's one of my subordinates."Grace looked at Troy. For some reason, her sharp gaze made him shudder subconsciously. He asked uncertainly, "Y-You know Max?"Despite having asked that, he still thought it was impossibl

Grace smiled sarcastically and took the phone back from Troy. "Stop daydreaming. It's too easy for you to go to prison."Troy trembled in fear. "Ms. Lewis, what do you want?""You like kidnapping so much. Why not just stay here for some time? It's so remote. No one will find you."Troy had observed the surroundings when he had gotten there. He could be sure that no one would come there.His eyes widened. "Ms. Lewis, please forgive us! If you leave us here, we'll die!"This place was so remote that they could die from starvation!"You finally know fear? Weren't you brave when you kidnapped Lydia?"She looked at Xander. "Xander, what do you think?"He smiled dotingly. "Your idea is good."She giggled. "Tie them tightly to the pole."Her men did as she ordered."What happens next depends on your fate. I heard that a person can last up to seven days without eating or drinking. You can test it for me."After she said that, her smile slowly faded as the men watched on fearfully.

Lydia's house had been cleaned. It was no longer messy, and the broken things scattered on the floor had been cleared up."Gracie, I didn't expect you to come here." Lydia came out of the kitchen with gauze on her head."We're friends. Of course I had to come and see you."Grace put a stack of photos on the table and put the flowers in a vase. "Caleb must have told you everything, right? I've already dealt with the kidnappers. "As for Kayla, I've issued an order to ban her from the industry. She won't live well for the rest of her life."The photos were of Troy and his subordinates. They looked like they were dying.Lydia smiled gratefully. "Yes, Caleb told me. Thank you for your help with everything these past few days."Grace clicked her tongue. She didn't like that Lydia treated her like an outsider."I want to ask you something." Grace moved closer to Lydia. "How are you and Caleb doing?"Lydia blushed. "What do you mean?""Don't be so shy. He has been busy taking care o

Xander was silent for a few seconds. "Are you free now? Come to Summitview Manor."Since this issue concerned Samuel, Grace naturally didn't dare to neglect it. So she agreed and went to Summitview Manor.She had gradually become familiar with the way there. To her surprise, Xander was waiting by the gate before she even drove up to the manor's entrance. He stood under the gentle glow of the street lamp, dressed in a white shirt and black pants."Xander, why did you come out? I could have found my own way in."He smiled. "It's dark out, so I felt uneasy. I'll only be at ease if I come to get you myself."He was so considerate that it warmed her heart.In the living room, he handed Grace several documents. "This is a copy of the contract signed between Landon Group and the government. The funds mentioned here are far greater than the cash flow Landon Group can produce."She looked through it and asked, "Do you think something is amiss here?""Yes. I asked someone to check th

Grace watched Xander's retreating back. She couldn't understand what he was thinking.Her thoughts were jumbled up, and she felt a trace of anger surging through her. She stood up and left. Xander remained standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows. His expression was somber as he watched Grace drive away through the trees. He could feel her disappointment across the distance.Some time later, Peter walked into the room. He said respectfully, "I heard what happened earlier. Why did you shy away from Ms. Grace? Back then, didn't you—""It isn't time yet," Xander said as he stuffed both hands into his pockets. He looked lonely."Let's just wait for a bit more."Peter asked, "Are you worried about what happened in Mardovia? Actually, if you let Mr. Fulton Senior know, he'll surely be able to settle it."Xander replied, "No way! You can't tell my parents about anything."Peter replied, "Okay."…Grace's mood had been at an all-time low since she had gotten back from the Summitvi

It was hard to fit into Matthew's schedule. By agreeing to meet Grace, Matthew had shown respect to her.As such, Grace paid more attention to their appointment. She dressed up appropriately and went for dinner with Luke.She didn't expect to see an uninvited guest as soon as she walked into the restaurant.It was Jessica!She was also dressed up and had an assistant by her side. Both of them were in the middle of a conversation."Do you think Mr. Reed from Futurelink Corporation will show up, Ms. Landon? It's hard to fit their schedules."It was a crucial moment for Jessica's business expansion.

Unfortunately, Xander was obviously on Grace's side.But Jessica was lucky to have made a new connection while dealing with Eastwood's new property a while back.Jessica had seen Grace as well.

"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
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,
