In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 520 You Can't Be Afraid to Gamble
That night, Grace recounted what had happened to her friends in their group chat. "Both Aunt Hestia and Uncle Raymond are pretty healthy. So logically speaking, Xander shouldn't have any health problems."She lay on her huge bed, feeling very troubled. Zoey was the first to reply. "This is hilarious! Why would you think that there's something wrong with his health?"Emily sent a message. "Are you crazy? Any man in the world could have health problems, but not Xander."Grace asked, "How do you know?"Emily answered, "It's obvious! If I'm lying to you, then call me Benjamin's son."Grace couldn't help bursting into laughter. Then, Lydia said, "But now that you mention it, have you really gotten over Benjamin?"Grace paused in the middle of typing. She thought for a moment, then told them her honest opinion. "I find him disgusting."Although many people may not mean it when they said they no longer had feelings for someone, using words like "disgusting" usually indicated that

Grace's smile dropped. "Let's go, Luke."Benjamin stood where he was and watched Grace's slender figure disappear gradually. Larry couldn't help but say, "Mr. Hawkins, Ms. Lewis isn't wrong. Byte Technologies is worth a gamble."Benjamin was annoyed as he stared at the logo of Byte Technologies in the building. "I know it's worth it, but it's still a gamble. If Grace loses, she will …"In the end, he was just worried. Larry pursed his lips and stopped himself from saying what he really thought. Even if it didn't work out, there were so many people backing Grace up that it wouldn't matter. "The meeting is about to start."Benjamin walked forward. "What has Jessica been doing lately?""She's focusing completely on her work. She even made an appointment with Noah Reed from Futurelink, and she hasn't let her guard down with Albert either. "It looks like she's determined to battle it out with Ms. Lewis."Benjamin huffed coldly. He seemed to think of something and asked, "Wha

Once they left the office, Luke was full of excitement. "Ms. Lewis, how did you know that Mr. Thorne would agree? You raised the stakes on purpose."Grace felt like she was walking on clouds, and she was very confident. "Because the foreign market is a sore point for Byte Technologies, and he desperately needs someone's help. That's why I was sure he would agree."It will already be a huge profit to get even a small piece of Byte Technologies.""Ms. Lewis, are you that confident in them?"Grace inclined her head. "Yes, I am."Although it was exciting to discuss theories and knowledge, putting it into action was a hassle. Grace called Xander at once, but he didn't pick up. She suddenly remembered that Xander had told her to contact Peter if she was unable to reach him. Grace hurriedly found Peter's business card in her bag and called the number on it. It was a Frendish phone number. "Ms. Lewis." Peter answered the call very quickly. "Mr. Miller, where's Xander? I can't re

Grace's flight was the next day. Luke and a few staff members from Byte Technologies were also going to Frenda with her. Grace still hadn't received a call from Xander by the time the plane took off. One of the staff members from Byte Technologies was very observant and noticed this. She asked, "Are you waiting for someone, Ms. Lewis?"Grace looked lost as she turned. "Is it very obvious?""Young women have all their feelings written on their faces."This was a huge taboo in the business world. Grace wasn't sure why Xander was affecting her emotions more and more. She tried her best to calm down. "I'm just worried about a friend. It's not important."The woman smiled and didn't push the subject. When the plane landed in Frenda, Aaron's assistant came to pick them up. "Ms. Lewis, Mr. Lewis is very busy with work, but he has specially reserved ten minutes to come and see you. He's currently in the VIP lounge."Luke arranged for the Byte Technologies staff and Grace to go w

It was too sudden. Grace's mind went blank, and she leaned against the wall for support, forcing herself to calm down. "Never mind what the reason is. Let's go to the hospital right now!"She ran out and immediately drove off after the ambulance. She didn't see a pair of old eyes behind her, watching her rush off. "The patient had a sudden heart attack and doesn't have enough blood. We need a blood transfusion, and we need an Rh-negative blood type!"The moment she entered the hospital, Grace saw a nurse shouting through a megaphone. Grace rushed over. "Which patient?"The nurse pointed. "That one! The one who was just sent in!"It was Eric!Grace clenched her fist. She couldn't believe what a coincidence it was because she was Rh-negative. "Me, I'm Rh-negative! I'll donate blood!"Luke stopped her at once. "No, Ms. Lewis! Nothing is more important than your health."Grace swatted him aside. "This is a matter of life and death! Saving him is the first priority.""But—"

Within ten minutes, one of the family members came out of the hospital room. "Please come in, Ms. Lewis."Grace didn't forget to take the documents with her.Eric was already awake. He lay on the hospital bed, looking at everyone through half-closed eyes.Raymond gestured toward him. "Gracie, say hello."Grace bowed. "Hello, Mr. Schultz. My name is Grace. Grace Lewis.""I know you. I was planning to meet you after the meeting ended.""That's not important. The most important thing is that you're safe and healthy.""Not important?""In terms of my job, the safety of the leader of Frenda's citizens is the most important."Eric's stern face broke into a smile as he looked at Raymond. "Ray, your goddaughter speaks very well."Raymond was very proud. "As she should.""I always repay my debts. You saved me. Tell me what you want."He was very direct. Grace gripped the corner of her documents tightly. "Will you give me whatever I want?""You don't hide anything, do you?""To be

"How is this not good news? Byte Technologies is Amirate's partner for this project, and Amirate belongs to the Lewis family. "If you help me, you're helping the entire family. Don't you think of yourself as part of the Lewis family?"Victor didn't reply to her voice message for a long time. Raymond was all smiles. "I can imagine the expression on Victor's face right now."Grace giggled. When she looked at Raymond from this angle in the car, Grace realized that the authority Xander exuded was very similar to that of his father. "Uncle Raymond, hasn't Fulton Group already been handed over to Xander? Why did you need to come personally?""Why? Shouldn't you know better than me?"He was poking fun at Grace, and she felt rather embarrassed.Xander had been focusing completely on Futurelink Corporation, and as a result, he didn't have as much energy to manage Fulton Group.She couldn't help defending Xander. "Xander started managing Fulton Group when he was 18 years old because

"Xander, you …" Hestia's voice trailed off downstairs. She had seen Grace, too.Grace stood where she was, staring at the man on the stairs in surprise."Xander? When did you get here?"Xander looked exhausted, but it didn't seem like he had just arrived in Frenda.He looked a little resigned and smiled as he leaned against the banisters. "Gracie, it looks like we really are fated for each other. What a surprise to see you here, of all places.""Don't talk nonsense." Grace was annoyed as she walked closer. "Were you already in Frenda when I called Peter?"Xander didn't deny it. "I had some business to take care of.""Where's my car?""Parked at my house.""You didn't even drive it back for me before you went abroad."Xander stared at her exposed skin, his gaze intense. "I wanted to make an excuse for us to meet again."Grace jumped, and her neck turned red at once. It felt uncomfortably warm.Hestia tactfully retreated without speaking when she saw what was happening."How

"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,
