In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 649 The Gift is Just a Gimmick
"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

Grace had thought of showing Raymond some respect. She had wanted to try to endure it if she could and finish the meal peacefully. But she hadn't expected Priscilla to set her sights on the Lewis family. It was just insane.Hestia had heard that Grace was back and had indeed made plans to go shopping with her. But it wasn't time yet. Grace arrived early. She sat by the window in the café, quickly typing on her phone as she recounted the events to Xander.After her anger subsided a bit, she said, "Was I too impulsive?"There was a moment of silence, then he called her after a while. He laughed smoothly through the phone, "Grace, you being a bit impulsive is nothing."Grace grumbled, "You're joking at a time like this!""She's not entirely wrong to try to strengthen ties with the Lewis family with this scheme. We both know Victor. If he doesn't like it, nothing will come of it. Why are you upset?"It was true. It was unlikely for Victor to fall for a woman from a wealthy fami

"It's me," Hestia answered.She took Grace's hand and comforted her. "Don't be angry. Look at the gift I brought you.""Gift?"They were at a bespoke tailor shop, and it wasn't very big. There were a few old tailors inside, both male and female, and they were all focused intently on stitching the swathes of fabulous cloth in their hands. Grace looked at the display case in surprise. "A Kidhnian gown?""I don't think I've ever seen you wear one. It's almost time for the New Year, so I wanted to make things more festive for you." After all, they were Kidhnian. These things were important to them. One of the tailors teased, "This was ordered two months ago. You're very lucky, young lady."Grace's eyes widened. "I read a news article about you when I was studying fashion design!"The tailors at this shop were protectors of cultural heritage, so they took every stitch seriously. Their specialty was custom-made Kidhnian gowns for the elite. Even the ordinary rich couldn't eve

After eating with Hestia, Grace bought some food to go and sent it over to Fulton Group. She told Xander that she had hired an errand boy, but the truth was that she was already in the car. "Ferolia requires a reservation, and they change their menu every three days. They won't repeat their menu, either."Xander replied, "Thank you, Grace. I'm anticipating it greatly."Grace couldn't help but smile when she saw the message. After the previous incident, the receptionist recognized who Grace was and did not try to stop her. Instead, she led Grace straight to a private elevator. "Please come with me."After the receptionist had swiped her card for access to the top floor, Grace inclined her head in thanks. Although night had fallen, Fulton Group was brightly lit, especially the top floor. It wasn't the first time Grace had come over. She saw that the office that had belonged to Jake had now been converted to a data room. She walked down the corridor, holding the box of fo

Grace did not have time to say more. She got up quickly. "I have an urgent matter to attend to. I'm sorry."However, Hazel followed her, clutching her documents. "Did you drive?"Grace did not speak. She walked quickly as she looked at her phone. "This is the peak rush hour around Fulton Group as all the employees are getting off work, and it won't be easy to get a cab." Hazel grabbed her arm. "I drove. If you don't mind, I can give you a lift, Ms. Lewis."Grace pursed her lips. She subconsciously wanted to resist Hazel's attempts at reconciliation, but she didn't have a better choice right now. "Thank you in advance."Hazel's car wasn't as grand as Xander's, but she seemed very pleased with it. She maneuvered the steering wheel as she said, "I'm about to be sent to our branch company. I came to the secretariat office to do a handover today."Grace hadn't expected Hazel to take the initiative to explain, so she was a little surprised. "You've worked hard."Hazel glanced at he

By the time the matter was resolved, and the car had been towed away, it was already 10:00 pm.After Xander ended his meeting, he turned to the office and handed the document he was holding to Chad. "In future, add a red label to urgent documents and a blue label to non-urgent documents."Chad took it hurriedly and nodded. He was a man and was not as meticulous as Hazel had been. Xander entered his office and was enveloped by a feminine scent. The familiar fragrance made him frown. "Did Grace come here?""She came two hours ago to deliver food to you, but your meeting hadn't ended yet—"Xander interrupted him in a low voice. "Why didn't you tell me?"Chad felt wronged. "I wanted to tell you, but you were dealing with the city-west demolishing issues and arguing with Mr. Leroy. I wanted to report this to you, but you gestured at me to stop me."He was right. Xander closed his eyes, and then walked forward to open the box of food. The box itself was beautifully presented, a

"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
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 823 No Longer Under Fulton Group
"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,
