In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 52 Whatever Amount You Want
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

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

"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.

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

The department heads could no longer bear it. Keeping their livelihood was the most important thing."Ms. Lewis, we can add them in immediately. We will definitely share resources with the staff from Amirate Corporation!"Someone else chimed in, "I'll send the project proposal to the people involved right now!"Grace nodded and said in a tone that brooked no argument, "Do this within an hour. If it's not done, resign."The department heads agreed hastily. Even though they were still in a meeting, they began making phone calls and arranging for their subordinates to get things done quickly. All of them looked reproachfully at Quinn, which put her in an awkward position. "It looks like Ms. Yancey likes listening to other people's stories." Grace lowered her gaze and laughed scornfully. "Did you think that I got to this position because of my looks? Did you think you could just make things difficult for me?""How could that be? It's all just a misunderstanding. Don't take it to

"Delete it right now." Benjamin's brows furrowed. "It was not what you think. There's more to it, but you weren't there afterward."Frederick didn't believe him. "How could it not be? She's exactly that kind of person. "If you hadn't made me leave, I would've gone and slapped those two cheating bastards. They should feel ashamed of their adulterous act!"Recalling the lonely expression on Benhamin's face the other day, Frederick felt a rush of injustice on his friend's behalf. The more he talked about the incident, the angrier he became. "She messed with me at the racecourse and even threatened me. I have to let people know her true colors!""Is that so? I'm waiting for you to slap me." Grace's indifferent voice pierced Frederick's ears, making him jerk in surprise."Why the hell are you everywhere?" Frederick shuddered with goosebumps all over his body. How unlucky of him to always get caught red-handed when talking behind someone's back.Grace's arms were folded before her

"Frederick didn't mean it. He misunderstood you, so stop arguing with him." The frustration was overwhelming for Benjamin, who had chased after Grace and pulled at her arm. Grace snatched her arm away. "How nice of you to speak for your friend, Mr. Hawkins. What right do you have to tell me to stop?"Benjamin glanced at Zoey and Emily behind Grace, both of whom were giving him hostile looks. "Can't you be a bigger person and let us talk nicely as friends?"A smile slowly formed on Grace's lips, her narrowing eyes devoid of emotion. "You're an ex who is dead to me, not some friend."While Benjamin had heard such a rejection before, he still couldn't deal with it calmly. He said curtly, "The apology statement will be released tomorrow morning. I will make him take down the post later.""Stop being hypocritical. They're treating me like this because you allowed them to, didn't you?""Me?" Benjamin frowned deeply, obviously disagreeing with her words. Grace's surly expression

Timothy's extravagant arrangement captured the attention of other couples in the restaurant. They excitedly whispered among themselves about whether his marriage proposal was a success.Just a few tables away, sitting diagonally across from Grace and Timothy, were none other than Frederick and his wife. It had taken Frederick a few days to coax his angry wife. He had convinced her to come out for dinner with him after rounds of pleading.Once again, he happened to witness Grace with another man, so he quickly snapped a photo of Timothy's back and sent it to Benjamin. "Dude, look at this. Your ex-wife found herself another target. He looks pretty good-looking from the back."Meanwhile, at Hawkins Tower, Benjamin was in the middle of a business meeting. The moment he saw the message from Frederick, his face turned solemn, and his temples throbbed. The person leading the meeting jolted in shock when Benjamin suddenly slammed his phone on the table. He grabbed the coat on th

"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,
