In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 535 Posing as an Assistant
"For what?" "Mr. Jake was messing around with an assistant in the office." Aware that Grace was Xander's friend, the assistant answered her questions truthfully. Upon hearing this, Grace tilted her head slightly. Her smile was bright and piercing. Jake didn't hear their conversation, but he clenched his fists as he approached them. "What are you laughing at?" Grace looked at him with her hands in her pockets. Then, she asked the assistant, "Who is this?" Trembling, the assistant replied, "Mr. Jake."So, this was Jake Fulton. Grace noticed the mole at the corner of his eye, which made him bear some resemblance to Raymond. Jake's face grew even darker, and he asked, "Which department are you from?" The assistant was about to answer, but Grace stopped her. "So you're Mr. Jake. My apologies. I'm a new assistant. I just started today." Jake frowned, his gaze falling on the logo on her coat. "Why is an assistant wearing Chanel to work?" He found it suspicious that

At that moment, Raymond spoke sternly, "Alright, Jake. Sit down." Caught between a rock and a hard place, Jake glared at Grace fiercely before reluctantly sitting down. Grace made a timely exit, and as she closed the door, she heard Raymond say, "Let's do as Xander suggested. You'll handle this project. Go and do some field investigation in Linden City first." Jake's gaze was burning. He was clearly unwilling, but he had no choice but to grab the cup in front of him and take a gulp. Grace left with a satisfied smile and hurried toward the elevator. The assistant from before caught up to her. "Ms. Lewis, you didn't do anything, did you?"Grace spread her hands and asked, "What could I possibly do? Alright, I'm leaving now. See you next time." Her smile was clearly mischievous. Just as Grace entered the elevator, Jake rushed out of the meeting room in a panic, clutching his stomach and desperately looking for a restroom. He looked utterly disheveled. As the meeting dispe

In the video, Grace glanced at the surveillance camera unintentionally. Her natural beauty and distinct presence stood out. Jake pressed pause, and his brow furrowed deeply. "So it was Xander? Don't let me find this woman!" …Meanwhile, as the plane took off, it traced an arc across the sky. Zoey was on a business trip. She had intentionally booked a flight to meet Grace at the airport after finding out the latter was coming home. "Jeez, you were away for quite a while on this trip. Everyone's saying it was for Byte Technologies' project. Is that true?" Zoey teased while opening the car door. Grace settled into the back seat. "It's true. What else are people saying?""They're also saying that since there's been no news for so long, you've probably failed." Zoey was very eager about the gossip. "Is it true?" Grace looked at her and asked, "What do you think?" "Can you stop that and give me a straight answer? This is big news. Whether it's a success or a failure, my h

Jessica was wearing heavy makeup today. It made her look very vicious as she smirked. "The collaboration between Amirate Corporation and Byte Technologies is set in stone now. We're approaching the fourth quarter of the year now. Benjamin, will you help me?" Benjamin smoked from across her. His gaze fixed on Grace, never wavering. She seemed very happy today, exuding a relaxed air, far from her cautious self when she was around him. "Help you with what?" he asked, disinterested."I can't let Grace succeed in this collaboration," Jessica stated firmly. Benjamin scoffed upon hearing this. "Why, Danielle? What makes you think you can sabotage her deal? I told you, I won't let you touch her." Jessica raised an eyebrow and mocked, "You're quite the knight in shining armor. I never noticed that before. "You might like her, but it's clear she detests you! Since that's the case, why not join me?"Benjamin rubbed his temples and took a big swig of his drink. "If you don't have

Grace immediately looked up and asked, "What happened?" Ashley scrolled through her phone and exclaimed, "It turns out that Willow has an illegitimate child. This is huge news!" Surprised, Grace took out her phone to read the news. Indeed, that morning, the paparazzi had revealed that Willow had a child. By that afternoon, they had released footage of her secretly meeting a man, with the child calling him 'Daddy'! The internet went into a frenzy."I can read every word, but I don't understand anything." "She's married and had a child with another man? That's crazy!""I can't imagine what the husband is feeling." Ashley shook her head, sighing. "I know her agent. Her marriage was already a headache for him, and now he also has to deal with this PR disaster." Grace watched the video, gripping her phone tighter. "Maybe the child's not hers?" "That's impossible. Look, the child resembles Willow so much. Genetics don't lie, and the child even called her 'Mom'." Grace h

Matthew looked up and asked, "Ms. Lewis, why are you here?" "As your partner, isn't it normal for me to check in?" He rubbed his temples and said, "I'm sorry that my personal issues have affected Amirate Corporation." "It's too late for apologies now. Is the child really yours?" Grace sat down. "Yes. I was indeed in a relationship with Willow for a few years, but due to personal reasons, it didn't work out. She didn't tell me about the pregnancy until after the child was born." Grace understood. Willow had taken advantage of the situation. She had secured herself a home while finding lifelong support using the child. "What about your wife's reaction to her?" "It's nothing new for people like us, Ms. Lewis. She doesn't care." Indeed, in a marriage of convenience, such things were often overlooked as long as they didn't affect personal interests. "Maybe she didn't care before, but now ..." Matthew's expression froze."Is it possible your wife orchestrated this?"

Grace felt a headache coming on as she realized that if the news continued to spread for a few more days, the situation would be beyond damage control. Luke presented his findings to Grace. "The assistant close to Willow is the most suspicious." This assistant had been with Willow for five years, even before the latter had risen to fame. She was Willow's most trusted person. Yet she had previously worked at Hawkins Group. Grace clenched the paper in her hand, a cold laugh escaping her lips.Luke frowned. "Ms. Lewis?" "I'm fine. I just can't believe that the man who has stabbed me in the back countless times would choose now to do it again." As she walked out, she bumped into Samuel, who was delighted. "Ms. Lewis, where are you rushing off to so angrily?" Grace glared at him and snapped, "You don't need to worry.""Byte Technologies is in trouble, and you must be overwhelmed. I've always said these emerging industries are just bubbles waiting to burst. But you wouldn't l

The photos clearly showed Esme and another younger man in an intimate position, suggesting they had a close relationship. Esme's expression turned odd. She asked, "Ms. Lewis, what are you implying?" "The difference between you and Mr. Thorne is that one of you has been exposed, and the other hasn't." "But I'm not a public figure. It won't really affect me, even if this is exposed.""Really?" Grace replied with a knowing smile, stirring her coffee. "In this circle, aren't you afraid of being the subject of gossip among the other ladies, becoming a laughing stock over tea and dinner?" Esme tensed up, obviously concerned. Grace had learned about these circles during her time with Benjamin With no jobs or financial worries, these women spent their days having tea and gossiping. Being the center of discussion was a fatal fall from grace. Esme took a deep breath. "Currently, the public is condemning Willow and Matthew. Me speaking up won't solve anything." "I'm not asking

"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,
