In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 657 Dark Side
Hazel had grown up without a family, which was why she was like a drifting leaf. Xander had been like a savior to her. "I'll never forget the days when I had to make every penny count, and I won't forget the debt I owe to Mr. Fulton. When I first joined Fulton Group with him all those years ago, I swore that I would always obey his commands." Hazel looked firm. Grace narrowed her eyes. The lights at the roadside seemed to glare brightly in her eyes. "You were with him every step of the way as he reached the position he's in today.""Of course.""Did he suffer a lot in the past?""When Mr. Fulton first joined Fulton Group, he started from the bottom so that he could prove himself to everyone. "There was a time when he waited outside a client's house every day for a month without fail just so that he could get the client to agree on a project. One month later, the project was confirmed, and he was promoted by 3 levels." Hazel leaned against the car, smiling as she reminisced

However, Grace became agitated. She took his hand. "Why shouldn't she? I want to know about your past, but you never tell me anything.""I know what you should know and what you shouldn't. Some things are too dirty, and they would defile your ears." Xander rolled the window down slightly and looked outside. "We're lovers. Do we need to withhold anything from each other?" Grace looked at his silhouette. "No matter what it is, as long as it's related to you, I would never find it dirty."Her voice seemed to pierce right through Xander's heart, and he frowned."I like Hazel telling me these things, because I can see a different Xander. You underestimate me. I know what the world is like, and I'm not as sheltered as you think I am."Grace sighed and grabbed his hand again. "Xander, I hope that in future you'll tell me about your family, friends, and work."He looked back, and there was a rather disoriented look in his eyes.He hadn't expected Grace to be so magnanimous and ac

Xander personally drove Grace to the airport. She sat in the passenger's seat, nagging at him the entire way there. "Aaron says that he'll also return to Pamore for the New Year once he's taken care of everything here. He's also bringing Grandpa. "What about you? Will you come back?"The New Year was approaching, and it was a very important day in their culture. Xander looked gently at her. "I'll go wherever you are."Grace broke into a smile.Victor was already at the airport. He looked resigned when he saw them holding hands. "Do you have to be so lovey-dovey?"Xander punched him on the shoulder. "I didn't get a chance this time, but I'll treat you to a meal next time.""Did I say I wanted to eat with you? We ate too many meals together when we were students."Xander laughed. "Take care of Grace.""She's my little sister. You're crossing the line and meddling.""Victor…" Grace was displeased."Fine. Look at you taking his side. Where's your gumption?" Victor said sourl
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 660 Nouveau Riche of Pamore
Grace waited for an hour before the interview finally ended and the staff dispersed. She went up to give Zoey a glass of water. "You've worked hard. I ordered some drinks for everyone."Zoey looked at the crowd. "Say thank you to Ms. Lewis, everyone.""Ms. Lewis?" They all exchanged looks. Then, they shouted loudly, "Thank you, Ms. Lewis!"Grace smiled and looked past Zoey at the interviewee's spot. As she did so, she said, "Who were you interview—"She stopped abruptly. That was because she was looking straight at a face that felt both familiar and distant. "We meet again, Ms. Lewis."Grace's expression had frozen, but Zoey didn't realize that anything was wrong. She introduced them to each other. "This is my friend Grace, and she's the CEO of Amirate. Gracie, this is one of the nouveau riche in Pamore, Mr. Jake Fulton. He's in charge of the Aether project."Then, she whispered in Grace's ear. "He has the same surname as Xander. What a coincidence."Coincidence? What a
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 661 Sprained Ankle
"Did you go abroad?" Shawn asked after a moment. He must have seen her video. "Yep. I was visiting family.""Your relationship with Mr. Fulton is going very well."It was a statement. Grace's voice was full of love as she said, "We're pretty stable right now. Don't envy me, Mr. Griffin. You'll have the same thing in future."She thought he was envious of her. On the other end of the phone, his lips curved without thinking. "I'm fine.""No one can be fine. Everyone yearns to be loved. Don't be anxious. That person will appear one day."She thought she was comforting him, but it made Shawn moody. He picked up the purple clay teapot. "What if she never appears?""Hmm… Then, I'll introduce someone to you. I don't have much, but I do have a lot of girlfriends."Shawn laughed again. He was about to speak, but then he heard her cry out in pain. He said anxiously, "What's the matter?""I missed a step while I was going upstairs and fell." Grace inhaled sharply and looked down. H
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 662 Putting on Medicine for Her
Shawn was very practiced with his movements. He disinfected the area, then sprayed some medicine on. He rubbed his hands to warm them and began to massage her ankle. His movements were gentle and slow. Grace could feel the pain in her ankle receding quickly. "You're very experienced. Have you ever learned professionally?"Her legs were slender and fair, and slightly reddened from the sprain. Shawn concentrated on his actions, and did not let his gaze linger. "Yes, I've studied this. I often got injured because of my job, and after some time, I became almost as good as a doctor."He was still wearing a mask and baseball cap at this hour, and the only thing she could see were a pair of gentle eyes. Grace was curious. "What did you do before? Why did you get injured so often?"Shawn's movements paused. "I don't have a good education, so I mostly did physical labor."Grace was startled, and suddenly felt that she shouldn't have asked. "I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose. I

Xander found her endearing, so he laughed gently and comforted her. "It's been hard on you. You'll have to endure it for a while, but avoid meeting him if you can."As Grace's anger subsided, Xander spoke again. "Turn on the camera. Let me see."Grace had been speaking excitedly, but she froze for a moment when she heard his request. She looked at Shawn. Strangely, she felt like she was cheating."I'm about to go to bed. I don't look good right now."Xander thought that she was just being coy. "I've seen you in all kinds of states. Come on, be good. Let me have a look at you.""I really don't look good. I'm tired." She persisted.The issue was that Shawn was still there. It would be awkward for both of them. Xander didn't insist anymore and just told her to rest early. He asked her to turn on her video for him the next day, and she agreed at once.By the time she hung up, ten minutes had already passed.Shawn came in from outside. "Mr. Fulton is very concerned about you."Gr
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 664 Elysium Bank's Annual Party
Just as Shawn had said, Grace's foot injury healed within two days.The moment she returned home, she received countless invitations to the annual parties of various large companies. Hawkins Group was among them. Larry had personally come with the invitation, but Luke had intercepted him smoothly."You didn't need to bring it, to be honest. Ms. Lewis will not attend."Larry had looked awkward. "I understand. Nevertheless, she still used to work at Hawkins Group. What if she still has a shred of feeling toward it? We sincerely invite Ms. Lewis to return and see how much the company has developed."Luke had shaken his head at that. "The past is the past. There's no point in looking back."Hence, Larry had been left with no choice but to return.When Grace heard about what had happened, there was no trace of emotion on her face. She said to Luke, "You did well."The other invitations were rejected as well, all except for one, which was from Elysium Bank. Noelle had personally w
