In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 541 Mrs. Thorne
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
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 542 Get Rid of Her Ambitions
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
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 543 The Most Important Project
Early in the next morning, Luke reported, "I've managed to schedule a meeting with Theodore." "How did you manage that?" "Given Amirate Corporation's status, meeting the president of a small company is quite simple." Grace smiled and asked, "Where will the meeting take place?" "At the café downstairs at Amirate."… Meanwhile, Benjamin had just arrived at his office to find Jessica waiting for him. "I knew you're always punctual." Ignoring her, Benjamin asked, "What is it?" "Given the current trend, Byte Technologies will be finished in a few more days. I'm here to remind you not to think about extending a helping hand to Grace." Jessica smirked with satisfaction. Benjamin looked at her with disdain. There had been no news from Grace's end recently, which had worried him slightly."Are you done?" Jessica's expression darkened. "Larry, see her out." Larry promptly entered and gestured toward the door. "Ms. Landon, this way, please." Jessica cast a deep look
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 544 Why Did It Have to Be You
Grace scrolled through his phone, checking it thoroughly. Theodore struggled violently. "What are you doing? Give it back! This is illegal! I'll call the police!" Grace laughed. "Go ahead. Call them. I'd like to see if the police will arrest you, the one causing trouble, or me first."Some people needed to be dealt with harshly. Grace reviewed his recent tweets, clicking and deleting each one. "How did you know Willow has an illegitimate child?" Theodore was reluctant to speak, but after the bodyguard twisted his arm painfully, he cried out, "Alright! I'll tell you. "I knew she had a child. Otherwise, she wouldn't have married me. But I didn't know who the father was until later." He admitted that after he had married Willow, their frequent separations due to work had made him lonely. He had ended up having an affair with Willow's assistant.Having been with Willow for years, the assistant had known that Matthew was the child's birth father. Hence, she had hatched a mal
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 545 Admit Defeat
Benjamin didn't let go but held on tighter. "You fussing over Theodore is pointless, and so is questioning me. You have more important things to do right now!" Grace was so infuriated that she laughed. She signalled her bodyguards to drag Theodore away. The café regained its quiet atmosphere, leaving just Grace and Benjamin. "So, Mr. Hawkins, enlighten me. What should I be doing?" Benjamin pursed his lips and handed her the document he was holding. "Cut ties with Byte Technologies and choose a new path. You're three months away from the final quarter of the year. There's still time to turn back, Grace. I haven't closed all doors on you."Grace was baffled. She flipped through the document, noticing the words 'new energy'. Losing patience, she closed it abruptly. "So you had this planned all along? You block my path with Byte Technologies and then magnanimously offer me a new one. Is this some child's game for you, Benjamin? Don't you find it tiring?" Benjamin's frown d
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 546 Suspicious
Grace glanced over Willow's statement, which closely aligned with their plan. In it, Willow had taken all the responsibility upon herself and revealed that Matthew had been unaware of the situation. But upon learning the truth, he had fulfilled his paternal duties. To express her regret, she chose to retire indefinitely. Esme had managed to take down Willow in less than two hours. Grace breathed a sigh of relief. At that moment, Esme called, "I've taken the child." "Congratulations, Mrs. Thorne. You've gotten what you wanted.""I've done what you asked. With my influence, Willow will never show her face in society again. You can rest easy." Grace smiled, looking out over the cityscape from the floor-to-ceiling windows. "How did you persuade Willow?" Esme sounded almost bored as she explained, "A mother's greatest weakness is her child. I told her that if Matthew fell from grace, her child would have no future. "Faced with two ends, she naturally knew what to do. Of
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 547 Getting Back Before Black Friday
Grace sounded very excited. "I'm not sleepy yet." "Let me guess, you've resolved the issue with Byte Technologies and can't sleep from excitement?" Grace was somewhat surprised. This matter had been resolved before the news reached overseas. "Did Matthew tell you?" Xander didn't answer. Instead, he said, "I have my ways of finding out. Just tell me if it's true." "Sort of," Grace admitted while fidgeting with a pillow in her arms. "I didn't want to tell you to avoid distracting you." "Ah, my Gracie has her ways of solving problems." His voice was magnetic and laced with affection. It made Grace flush. "What about you? Are things going smoothly there?" Smoothly? As Grace asked, Xander sat in his office at Fulton Group, bathed in sunlight, while Hazel brought him coffee and toast.Xander had shaken up Jake's connections within Fulton Group in just a few days and had almost reshuffled the entire company. No one dared to underestimate him as the future heir anymore.
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 548 Eight Thousand Dollars
In less than half a month, the Byte Technologies scandal had passed, and the collaboration with the company's overseas partners gradually smoothed out. Grace relaxed slightly. Samuel, on the other hand, was furious. He was clearly upset. His subordinates avoided him as much as possible, fearing they might trigger him. Luke chuckled at the mention of this. Grace also found it amusing as she thought about it. "How's the progress with the Eastwood property?" "No issues reported." Grace remembered Xander's words and pondered for a moment. After all, it was a government project, so there probably wouldn't be significant issues. But should she really let Samuel and Jessica profit from it?Grace had never expected to run into Jessica while shopping with Emily later. She was at a luxury store where many wealthy ladies were flocking to check out the new arrivals. They even bumped into Esme, who was accompanied by a young boy. He greeted Grace by addressing her as "Aunt". "You
