In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 63 Celia the Criminal
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

When Lydia saw how the audience reacted, she knew she had made the right choice to have Grace wear the collection's most important piece.Meanwhile, Timothy was just as in awe as the others. He hadn't expected to see Grace again. He had been sad and dejected before, thinking that fate had made him the butt of a cruel joke. He had deeply regretted rejecting his fated love, and he had decided to take responsibility for his mistake. So he had vowed to never bother Grace again.But when he saw her, his heart started pounding uncontrollably again, just like that night on the balcony … "Mom, look. It's that jinx again!" In the corner, Celia tugged on Susan's sleeve.However, Susan simply huffed, "I'm not blind. You didn't have to tell me.""Oh." Celia shut up immediately. She had gotten a huge lecture for getting arrested again, so nowadays, she would get yelled at for even breathing too loudly.As Susan looked at Tears of the Ocean, another idea blossomed in her head. Why not b

"Guilt, my foot!" Susan said with gritted teeth, then ran toward a secluded spot with Celia.However, the reporters followed them. In that moment, there were more people looking at them than those looking at the stage.After the exhibition ended, Grace went backstage and casually put Tears of the Ocean aside while Emily changed in a different dressing room.Grace sat there, looking at the photos Emily had shared in the group chat. "Look, babe! We were so pretty," Emily had texted."Love it," Grace replied."If it hadn't been for my overseas business trip, I wouldn't have missed it. Hugs," Zoey texted."Thanks for your hard work! Let's get together later," Lydia piped up."I almost died laughing today. The look on Susan's face when she got rejected had me in tears," Emily said."She loves haunting me," Grace replied.As if on cue, the door behind Grace opened. Both Susan and Celia barged in furiously while Grace smiled with mockery, as if she were looking at two losers. "What

"Believe me, Benjamin. Mom and I only got into this mess because that jinx started it." Celia was so worried that Benjamin wouldn't believe her that her face turned red.Susan was about to stand up and keep talking, but then she blacked out in her anger and collapsed again. Celia quickly caught her.Grace was already used to their tricks, so she smiled mockingly. "That's right. It was me," she said proudly. She didn't want to waste her time with these people, so she went back inside.However, Benjamin blocked her way with his brows furrowed. Grace stepped back to put some distance between them, then said indifferently, "Move."Benjamin took one look at Susan and Celia, who seemed half-dead, and changed his mind again. "How much longer are you going to stay angry?" he asked with a cold voice and narrowed eyes.Grace thought that was the funniest thing she had ever heard that day. "What's there to be mad about?""Aren't you attacking them because you still hold a grudge over bein

Unlike his previously carefree self, Timothy simply smiled gently. "It looks like you don't need a handkerchief."Grace remained stone-faced. "Of course not. I wasn't crying.""I thought you would be crying your eyes out like you had last time. I even prepared two handkerchiefs." Timothy took out a second handkerchief with a twinkle in his eyes."I came prepared, didn't I?" he asked.Grace recalled that night on the roof in Darai. She couldn't believe that she had cried in front of her nemesis, so her expression wavered a little. "I wasn't crying. You remembered it wrong."Timothy didn't argue with her and simply nodded. "I must have, then." Watching Grace's unhappy expression, he wondered if she had been crying over Ben that night."Do you want me to beat him up?" Timothy asked with a seriousness he rarely showed, then rubbed his hands together. "Your wish is my command.""That's your buddy we're talking about. It's already a miracle that you didn't side with him." Grace shru

"I was busy," Grace said with a smile. Hestia had always been close to Grace's mother. After both of Grace's parents had passed away, Hestia and her husband, Raymond Fulton, had been the ones who had taken care of Grace and her siblings.It was only after Grace had turned 18 years old that Hestia stopped worrying about her and started traveling the world. She had always been a mother figure to Grace during her childhood, so Grace had always considered her family.Grace looked around and smirked at Hestia. "Aunt Hestia, where's Uncle Raymond?""Why are we talking about him?" Hestia pretended to be angry. "Don't mention that guy.""Okay." Grace tried not to laugh. Hestia and Raymond Fulton were like cats and dogs. They would always bicker when they were together but worry about each other when they weren't.When they had been younger, they had gotten divorced in the heat of an argument. But Raymond had immediately regretted it. Thus, he had begun his hard-knock life of trying

What a small world."I'm so happy you could come visit, Benjamin," Yvonne said gently. She tried to hold his hand, but he subtly dodged her."I saw some of my business partners. I'm going over to talk to them," Benjamin said in a cold voice as he walked away.Yvonne was very irked. It had been two months since she had been sent to Frenda, but Benjamin had never called her, not even once. Now that he was finally here, she had wanted to spend some quality time with him, even if it was just for the sake of their baby.After reluctantly watching Benjamin leave, she turned back. She was surprised to find Grace standing right in front of her. There was a middle-aged woman who looked pretty despite her age standing next to Grace. With a smile, Yvonne tried to make her belly even more obvious and walked over as if Grace were the mistress, not her."Why do I keep bumping into you everywhere I go?" Yvonne asked.Grace didn't even look at her. "That's my line."Yvonne gritted her teeth

"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,
