In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 57 What Right Do I Have
"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

It took Benjamin a long time before he uttered curtly, "What do you think?""Her?" Timothy gasped, pointing at Grace and then at Benjamin."And you?"At last, his finger pointed at himself. "I …""What the hell is going on?" For a second, Timothy felt like crying. He needed time to process the situation. It was too much to handle at once.Frederick rubbed his nose and leaned toward the bewildered Timothy. "Dude, one mustn't touch his friend's wife. You got yourself into big trouble this time."Timothy fumed. "She said she's divorced! She has the freedom to love, understand?"Then, he pushed Benjamin and said dryly, "I didn't know she was your ex-wife when I met her."When Grace calmly walked past Benjamin, the latter's displeased voice halted her steps. "Aren't you going to explain yourself?"Grace scoffed. "Who are you to make me explain?" After that, she left promptly."Don't leave! Are you seriously going to leave us here just like that?" Timothy shouted after Grace's disa

"You rebellious bastard! She's Grace Lewis! The fourth Lewis kid, the one you're engaged to!" Donald was yelling so loudly that he was practically roaring.He had sent Timothy to Pamore so that he could get closer to Grace. Aaron had been opposed to this, so he'd had to promise that he wouldn't tell Timothy about Grace's true identity. In return, Timothy had been allowed to work at Amirate Corporation.And yet, this bastard was so stupid that he had broken off the engagement and called Grace an ugly hag right in front of his elders. Donald could feel his blood pressure soaring. He really wished he could jump out of the screen and teach Timothy a lesson.Timothy stood up and kept shaking his head as he stared at Grace. He really couldn't imagine the goddess before him and the hag in his memories being the same person."The lady I've been courting … She's the fiancée I've been trying not to marry?" He wished he could disappear on the spot. "No! It can't be!"He looked up and

Celia's smile froze. "Nonsense, I was overseas at the time. Just because people are saying that doesn't mean it's true."If Susan hadn't asked Celia's grandfather, Tyler Hawkins, for help with bailing her out without Benjamin's knowledge, she probably would have actually gone to jail.Grace glanced at Celia impassively. "Now that you're free, do learn to behave. You can keep trashing my boutique as long as you don't mind being jailed again. I'm fine with it.""I said I never went to jail! Did you even hear what I said?" Celia marched forward, only for Emily to block her way. "It's two of us against one of you. Are you sure you want to pick a fight?"Both Grace and Emily were not to be trifled with. So, after some thought, Celia suppressed her anger and said with gritted teeth, "Why would I? I'm having enough trouble avoiding you as it is."After all, Benjamin had warned her not to pick fights with Grace."So you do know how to avoid us! Our Grace isn't someone a girl like you

Grace smiled mockingly and walked up to Celia. "Why did you freeze? Go on, call the cops. I'm waiting."Celia broke into a cold sweat, gripping her phone tightly. She didn't know what to do."Are you wondering how the bracelet ended up in your bag when it was supposed to be in mine?"Celia froze. "I have no idea what you're talking about.""Did you really think I wouldn't notice you slipping something into my bag?" Grace snapped. Back when Celia had done the deed, Grace had happened to witness it through a mirror's reflection. Hence, she had put the bracelet back in Celia's bag the moment the latter had turned around.It was only then that Emily realized what had happened. "Oh, Celia, they should start calling you Celia the Criminal! How did you come up with such an evil scheme at such a young age?""It looks like you haven't learned your lesson at all since the last time you got jailed. In that case, let me discipline you on behalf of your family," Grace said.Then, she tur

It was only then that Celia reluctantly walked over to Grace and said, in a voice softer than a mouse's, "Um … I'm sorry."Emily protested angrily, "Louder! We can't hear you."Celia's hands balled into fists as she raised her volume. "I said I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!"Then, she turned to look at Ben. "Is that enough, Ben?" she asked, looking like she had swallowed a bug.Ben replied coldly. "Ask Grace, not me." So Celia looked in Grace's direction pitifully."If apologies were enough, what do we even need cops for? Did I say an apology would spare you from the police? You think too highly of yourself, Mr. Hawkins," Grace said.Her smile was so full of mockery that Benjamin couldn't help but feel like he didn't understand her at all."Why should I let go of being accused without reason so easily? Is her status a Get Out of Jail Free card?" Grace said. After all, Celia was only this bold because the Hawkins had let her off the hook again and again. There was no way Grace wou

"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
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 826 Willing to Testify
"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,
