In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 569 Making Money Off Her
The construction site wasn't far from the venue. Jessica happened to be inspecting the site today. As soon as Grace and Caleb stepped out, she recognized them. Ryan was groveling before her. He carefully observed her expression. "Ms. Landon, what are you looking at?" Jessica's expression turned dark. "I'm waiting for your head to be put on a silver platter." Ryan was shocked and said, "The job is done, and all the men in the crew are my people. There's absolutely no chance of the news leaking. Ms. Landon, please don't scare me." Jessica huffed, glaring at Ryan. "You dragged me onto this sinking ship, but have you thought about how you're going to get off?" Ryan was sweating profusely. "Ms. Landon, please be clear with me." "I don't care how you do it. Just make sure you get the money soon! We can't mess around with this project." Although Jessica wasn't very rational, she had this much sense. If things were investigated later, they could be imprisoned! Ryan trembled and

Within the time it took to brew a pot of tea, Luke had invited Quentin to the teahouse. Quinn got out of his car and nodded at Luke. "Please accept my apologies. Ms. Lewis invited me so suddenly that I had to come empty-handed." Luke was very composed and answered, "Ms. Lewis isn't one to fuss over these things. We're just glad you could come." Quentin followed Luke into the teahouse, wiping the sweat from his forehead and glancing around nervously. He had been drinking with a client when his assistant informed him that someone important wanted to meet him. He had rushed over without wasting any time. He hadn't even managed to ask what it was about. "Thank you, Mr. Zieglar. Does Ms. Lewis want something from me?" Luke led the way and said, "You'll know when you meet her." Quentin was anxious.Luke opened the door. A pot of tea was simmering on the table, bubbling softly. The steam rising from it complemented the early winter weather outside the window. Grace sat at

Luke stood on the balcony. He watched Quentin drive away before returning to the private room. Inside, Grace was on a call. Her tone was much softer compared to earlier. "Xander, based on what he just said, do you think he's guilty of something?" Her phone screen showed that the call duration was 30 minutes. Xander chuckled on the other end of the line. "You don't know if he's actually done anything." "I don't, but my bluff worked. It seems I've actually hit the nail on the head." "People who haven't done wrong have a clear conscience. His response clearly indicates there's something fishy," Xander said. "Keep an eye out for what happens next. If Quentin stops working on the Eastwood property after this, it's confirmed he is indeed involved in shady business." Grace's eyes lit up as she smiled. "I was thinking the same thing."If she wasn't right, she would just think of meeting Quentin as making a new connection. That wasn't a loss, either. "But if it's true, why wo

The man had a strong grip on her hand, and his nose and mouth were covered with a wet towel. He handed one to Grace as they quickly made their way out. There was another passage inside the teahouse where the flames were less intense, allowing the two to pass through. The fire crackled as it consumed the wood. It was a truly heart-stopping experience. Grace held onto the wet towel on her face, feeling some relief in her lungs. "Boss! What are you doing here?" Other people were also escaping through that passage and were surprised to see the man. The man scolded them in a hoarse voice, "Hurry and leave!" There was the sound of hurried footsteps.Grace hurried down the stairs, keeping an eye on the man's dark silhouette. He was tall and well-built and seemed to be middle-aged. His voice sounded so familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before. She didn't have time to think more about it. All she could think about at that moment was finding a way out of there. As s

Grace replied, "Don't worry, everything's fine."She couldn't see how tightly Xander was holding onto his phone on the other side. When he saw her message, he finally relaxed slightly.Hazel rushed in. "Mr. Fulton, the secretariat office just told me that you want to book a flight ticket to Pamore!"Xander put his phone down and said calmly, "Everything's fine now. You can cancel it."Hazel was startled, but then she noticed the sheen of sweat on Xander's forehead. The veins throbbing on his forehead were slowly subsiding. The image of Grace rose up unbidden in her mind, and she nodded silently. Then she said, "Something's happened to Jake."Xander's eyes were as sharp as daggers. "What?""While he was monitoring the work in Linden City, there was an explosion on site at night. He was affected and was sent to the hospital urgently."Xander stood up and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling windows. "What was the cause of the explosion?""The workers hadn't stored the materials

"His injuries …""I have arranged for the best surgeon to go over there to assist and ensure his safety," Xander said smoothly. "If he were to return, the news of an explosion on site would be revealed at once. I'm sure you agree that publicizing this isn't good for the company, Dad."Raymond looked his son up and down. "You've thought of everything."Xander smiled slightly. "I'm just afraid that Aunt Priscilla will worry if she finds out.""If she's worried, then send her to Linden City to take care of Jake. You can make the arrangements."Xander said, "I will."Hazel could clearly sense the undercurrents of the conversation, and she felt genuinely pleased for Xander.Xander then reported on a few more work matters to Raymond. Before he could leave, Raymond stopped him. "You've grown a lot in the two years that you've been away from Fulton Group. I think it's a good thing. Keep it up."Xander's calm facade cracked slightly. "It's all thanks to your guidance, Dad."…When

Enthusiastic applause rang out in the conference room. Outside the door, Samuel snorted as he walked away. "She sure thinks she's smart!"His subordinate followed him. "It won't be that easy. The e-commerce industry has already been divided between a few shopping platforms. It won't be easy for Byte Technologies to take a piece of the pie."Samuel thought so too, but he couldn't help but feel worried by Grace's confidence. "What if she succeeds?""Director Walker, at the previous gathering, the chairman of Dealer already said that their platform wouldn't give Byte Technologies any discounts. "They are competitors, and consumers aren't dumb. The winner will be the one who provides the most discounts!" said Samuel's assistant. He had been working with Samuel for over ten years. The two of them were around the same age, and both of them disliked how young people worked. Samuel felt reassured by his assistant's words. Just then, he looked up to see Caleb getting out of the ele

Lydia blushed hotly and looked around. "Don't talk nonsense! What if someone with bad intentions heard you?"That was the difficult thing about dating a celebrity. In the past, the leaked photos of Grace and Caleb had also aroused a lot of speculation. Eventually, the rumors had finally subsided after everyone found out that the two of them were siblings.In the eyes of the world, Caleb was a top celebrity and couldn't have any rumored girlfriends.Lydia didn't like having everyone's attention on her, nor did she want to affect his career. Hence, she was extra careful.Grace handed Lydia's phone back to her. "You're being so obvious about it that people are going to find out sooner or later."Lydia smiled lightly. "It's fine. I'll just say that I'm a fan of his."The others made a face and wailed, "That's so cheesy!"When they finished teasing her, Zoey suddenly said, "You're one to talk, Grace. You've been in a good mood lately, too. You're always smiling."Grace was startle

"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

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,
