In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 644 No Intention of Marrying
It was widely believed that the future of the Fulton Group rested on Xander's shoulders.In a circle like this, it was rare to find someone who was not corrupt.Xander picked up his cup, the warmth radiating from his fingertips. "I pursued Grace with the intention of having a future with her."One sentence reassured Aaron.When smart people conversed, they just needed a few words to get the whole picture. Aaron seemed satisfied."You must always remember what you said tonight. If Grace ever gets hurt again, I'll hunt you down."Xander gently placed the cup back on the saucer with a soft clink.…The next day, during the morning meeting at Fulton Group, two changes were announced.Firstly, the contract with Brooke Group had been terminated. After the compensation, Brooke Group would be blacklisted. So, they had to select a new material supplier.Secondly, Hazel was demoted for withholding information.These two changes immediately stirred up a storm. No one had expected Hazel

Unable to find common ground in conversation, they decided to play poker instead.Wanting to liven things up, Isla made phone calls inviting more people to join. During the waiting period, Grace filled in for two rounds."Mrs. Brooke isn't answering her phone. Is something wrong?""You don't know? Last night, Mrs. Brooke stormed into Fortress, wielding a knife. It's said that when she arrived, the screens in the lobby were playing a loop of her husband with a woman," Jean recounted excitedly."What video?""You know, that kind."The ladies burst into laughter."Did she offend someone? The Brooke family has a solid background. Isn't this a slap in their face?""Fortress doesn't easily disclose client privacy. Whoever did this must be a big shot."Grace gazed at the cards in her hand, smiling but saying nothing.Bored of the women's chatter, Victor excused himself for some fresh air. He sent a text to Grace. "I'll wait outside. Come out after two rounds."That was her plan,

It was normal that Priscilla didn't know Grace. In this circle, the line between the original wife and the mistress was clear. Men were smart. They knew who could be brought out in front of whom and who couldn't.Although Raymond and Hestia had divorced long ago, he had never given Priscilla a title in all these years. She could only mingle in the circles of these wealthy ladies because of Jake and a lot of money.Others respected her for two reasons. Firstly, because Hestia was aloof and never participated in their activities. Secondly, they speculated whether Jake would ascend to power and hence give her a boost in status."Oh, Aunt Priscilla. I'll address you as you wish for Uncle Raymond's sake," Grace responded casually.It wasn't for Priscilla. It was for Raymond.Priscilla wasn't angry. "I've heard about you from Jake.""What did he say about me?""He said you were the Lewis family's youngest daughter and that you are bold and charming. He really likes you."Grace sudd

Xander knocked on the door, and an attendant opened it. Isla looked up and saw the good-looking man.Xander gestured with his finger, indicating for her not to make a sound.At that moment, Grace had already won over a dozen rounds. Another lady at the table understood the situation well and kept folding her cards. Combined with Grace's sharp wit, Priscilla and Jean were utterly defeated.A pile of chips lay on the table.Priscilla was visibly upset. After finishing the last round, she conceded. "You're really clever, Ms. Lewis. I admit defeat."Even from the back, Grace seemed delighted. "Okay. Losing isn't scary. It's being afraid to admit defeat that's scary. Aunt Priscilla, you need to practice your poker skills."Priscilla remained silent.After collecting the chips, Grace bid farewell and turned to leave. But as she did, she stumbled into a man's arms, hurting her nose. When she looked up, she saw Xander. "Xander?"Everyone looked over.Smiling, Xander gently rubbed

They finally decided on who to work with to supply the raw materials. Before signing the contract, Xander smiled lightly and said, "We will not tolerate any deception or shoddy work for these projects. I won't show mercy if I discover anything wrong." The older man was somewhat intimidated by Xander's presence. He wiped his sweat nervously. "Of course, I understand." With everything settled, Xander rubbed his temples to relieve fatigue. The new secretary handed him a cup of coffee. "Mr. Fulton, the car is ready. Where would you like to go?" Xander's eyes were bloodshot. "I don't drink coffee." The secretary quickly withdrew his hand. "I'll get something else."Xander took his coat and headed out. He didn't want to make things difficult for the secretary. "Forget it. I'm going back to my mother's place." Peter waited by the car, ready to report to him. Xander stopped to a still and unbuttoned his shirt collar, revealing his muscles under the night breeze. "Wha

"Despite the improvement in our performance, the after-sales issues in e-commerce remain our top priority. All departments need to put in more effort to identify and resolve these problems," Grace said calmly, feeling a bit parched.Aaron handed her a glass of water.She mouthed "thank you" to him.Luke waited until everyone finished reporting before speaking, "As the end of the year approaches, it's time to arrange the annual meeting for Amirate Corporation. Ms. Lewis, how do you think we should proceed this year?"When Grace had been with the Hawkins family, she had handled many annual meetings, most of which were very dull. They mainly involved preparing the programs and buttering up to leaders. She thought it was boring, so she suggested, "Since we've done so well this year, why not throw a party and let everyone have some fun?"The video conference immediately buzzed with excitement, "That's a great idea!""What's the theme?" someone asked.Grace pondered for a moment and

The man took it suspiciously. It was a document folder.He reached out, and the woman immediately crawled over and handed him his glasses.He was an older man with high cheekbones and wore old-fashioned black glasses.He tore the folder open, and the contents poured out. It turned out to be a contract. He flipped through it page by page, and after seeing the signature at the end, he gritted his teeth."Well done, Xander."Iverson Group made its fortune in real estate, and maintaining assets for generations was no problem. Unfortunately, Gregory Iverson had a prodigal son who had gotten involved in stocks and lost half of the family fortune. Just then, Xander, who had graduated at the time, had taken advantage of the situation and made his first bucket of gold.Later, while running Fulton Group, Xander had used this money to establish Futurelink Corporation.The woman curiously leaned over and saw the name "Joshua" written on the signature line.Her voice was soft, and she a

However, Grace hadn't expect Raymond to bring Priscilla along.As soon as they entered and handed their coats to the waiter, they saw Raymond and Priscilla standing side by side at the head of the table.Priscilla looked gentle and elegant. Grace wanted to leave immediately, but she forced herself to stay.Victor, on the other hand, seemed casual."Uncle Raymond, you've gone through a lot of trouble.""Uncle Harold is old and he's always worried about the happiness of his grandchildren. Of course, I have to share his worries too." Raymond smiled and continued, "Let me introduce you. This is Priscilla. Grace has already met her."Victor glanced at Grace and immediately realized why she looked upset.He nodded and greeted, "Aunt Priscilla.""Victor, right? I had not met you that day. The ladies all said you were outstanding, and it seems they were right." Priscilla smiled as she approached them. "This is a gift I specially prepared for you. This wine is over hundred years old

"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,
