In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 622 The Heart Remains True
The day Samuel concluded his testimony, the police contacted Grace to gather information.The servant served coffee, and the discussion went on for two hours."He implicated Jessica, but we don't know where she is. We're actively searching for her. If Amirate can provide any assistance, we'd appreciate it."Toward the end, Angus spoke in an official tone.Grace rose gracefully and thanked them. "Thank you for coming in person. I appreciate your efforts.""Ms. Lewis, you're now one of Pamore's major contributors to taxes. It's only right for us to make the trip." Angus closed the pen cap and stood up. "You're different from us ordinary workers."Grace handed him his briefcase. "You're serving the people."As she saw them out, Luke walked in. They nodded in acknowledgment as they passed by each other.Then Luke handed her a red invitation letter. "I went back to your place this morning and saw an invitation. I thought I'd bring it over."Angus turned around just in time to

"That's not what I meant. I just suddenly thought that Aunt Hestia and Uncle Raymond would be upset if they knew that you got injured because of me."Grace felt guilty."It's just a minor injury.""For parents, there's no such thing as a minor injury. They would feel sorry for you."After Grace said that, Xander was momentarily lost in thought.In the early years, when Hestia and Raymond were divorced, it seemed no different from before for outsiders. But only he knew that Raymond had to leave often to visit Priscilla and Jake.No matter if they were close or not, Jake was still his biological son, and Raymond was not a heartless person.After growing up, Xander occasionally saw Priscilla—the woman who had destroyed his complete family. Yet, he still had to respectfully address her as Aunt Priscilla.If Raymond had felt sorry for Xander, he wouldn't have put him in this situation."What's on your mind?" Grace smoothed his furrowed brow.Xander came back to his senses. "

Downstairs, there was a constant flow of influential figures."He must have some connections to open a teahouse in this location. It's a new opening. Surely people will come to show their support."Grace skillfully cleaned the tea set and brewed the tea leaves."Is that so? But Benjamin is also here."Hearing that, Grace frowned. When she glanced to the side, she indeed saw Benjamin entering the adjacent private room. He usually didn't like tea, but he actually came.Smiling, Xander took a seat. "I'm getting more and more curious about the kind of person your savior, Mr. Griffin, is."What kind of person? He was a person who needed to wear a mask year-round so as to not reveal his true identity.When Shawn received the news, he had just finished a social engagement. Spencer reported to him, "A private room was reserved a month ago. "I didn't know it was Mr. Hawkins. Since he's here, he probably already knows your identity."Shawn's eyes above the mask revealed his change

"It's just a hobby."Shawn observed Xander. This was a man completely different from Benjamin. The latter had grown up in struggles for power and had been tainted by money.However, Xander appeared to be like a refreshing breeze, unaffected by the storms.This demeanor must have developed in an extremely relaxed environment."Mr. Griffin, your gaze is quite sharp. It's good to have the ability to discern the ways of the world." Xander spoke up, stopping his scrutiny.Shawn finally nodded. "Ms. Lewis doesn't owe me anything. She's just being polite. Don't worry about it, Mr. Fulton. Just treat me as a passerby.""Gracie and I have never been ungrateful. Moreover, you've been so considerate, giving her a private room during the busy opening. "I'll remember this favor. You can find us anytime, so we can repay it."Xander fiddled with the ring in his hand, seemingly serious but carefree.Gracie. Shawn had never heard of this address before.He looked at Grace and saw her nod.

Grace was extremely surprised. She didn't expect Xander to remember everything."How much was it?"It was over 100 million dollars—definitely not a small amount.But Xander thought it was worth it. "Do you like it?"His eyes were gentle as he gazed at the surprised Grace."I do... but how much was it?"She knew that it was undoubtedly expensive. Even though they were not lacking in money, it wasn't an ordinary accessory after all.Xander took the necklace and bent down to put it on for her. "The price doesn't matter as long as you like it."Their interaction was intimate, like a couple deeply in love.After Xander put it on for her, he turned to face Shawn. "Let Mr. Griffin take a look."The ruby was large, and Grace's skin was fair. It looked exceptionally beautiful on her.Shawn squinted his eyes. When he noticed the hickey below her collarbone, he quickly looked away."Ms. Lewis is beautiful. Anything looks good on her."Shawn then stood up. "Thank you both for coming.

"Why?" Benjamin couldn't help but ask after a long while. "You were at the scene that day.""This is my business. I don't need to explain anything to you."Benjamin frowned, and Shawn continued, "Besides you, no one will know that I used to be Alexander. Hawkins Group is all yours. No one is competing with you."Hearing that, Benjamin didn't feel assured at all. His eyes were filled with suspicion. "No one? What about Grace?"Shawn put down the teacup. "She didn't recognize me."The teahouse was peaceful. Closing the door to the private room seemed to isolate them from the outside world.Grace slept in Xander's lap for a while and woke up two hours later. The two of them walked out side by side.Suddenly, Xander received a call from Hazel. Grace understood that it must be an internal matter of the Fulton Group. "I'll wait for you outside.""Okay, I'll go to the restroom."It was surely a call to urge him to return to Frenda as soon as possible. Hazel was anxious."Mr. Ful

The sunlight was perfect, shrouding the two of them in a halo of light. They were like a picturesque scene by the roadside.Xander loosely wrapped his hands around her waist. "Let's not worry about the bet for now. We'll see."Benjamin's car happened to pass by at this moment, and he saw this scene. His expression turned ugly as he gritted his teeth.Larry was very concerned. "Mr. Hawkins...""I understand why Alexander gave up."Larry waited for the next sentence."At this point, even if it's not me, it won't be him either."Grace had long since found the right guy, a man who had the ability to protect her.Benjamin rubbed his forehead, never having felt so defeated in his entire life.In the private room, Shawn said, "I gave up everything, but that doesn't mean that I won't collect some debts from you.""What?""You took my place and married Grace, but you didn't treat her well, making her suffer. I'll remember this. One day, I'll make you pay."Benjamin couldn't retort b

Winter rain continued to fall. Jessica wrapped herself tightly in her coat, sitting in the car.She had been drinking heavily for several days, but today she abstained. It was a rare moment of sobriety. Her face was pale. "Do I really have to go?""Our boss said so. Your staying here will put everyone in danger. "If you get caught, your charges could add up to decades. Don't be ungrateful, Ms. Landon."It was still early, so they were the only car on the road, speeding in the rain.After some time, a black car suddenly appeared in the rearview mirror, following behind them. Jessica became alert. "We're being followed! Is it the cops?"The driver turned the steering wheel. "I'll shake them off."He was skilled, but the other party was equally skilled. After several rounds, the driver still couldn't shake off the pursuer.Instead, they were overtaken. The other car blocked their way horizontally, forcing them to come to a halt.The driver's heart sank. "How could this hap

"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

"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,
