In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 659 Punishment Withdrawn
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

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

"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

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

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

Benjamin took a deep breath and puffed out his chest.Grace was growing more and more distant from him by the day, but it was okay. Jessica had already been sent away, so Grace would never know that the person she had fallen in love with at first sight was actually Alexander. Anthony finished his speech, and the programme that the staff had prepared for the night began. The food was served. Since Noelle was the successor to Elysium Bank and she rarely appeared in public, many people came by to toast her.Timothy sensed that the atmosphere at their table had become rather awkward, so he tried to lighten the mood. "Milady, do you know the Iversons? They're one of the four largest families in Frenda."Grace knew about them. "We've had a few dealings in the past.""The second son of the Iversons is here in Pamore."Grace thought about it for a moment. She vaguely remembered that the name of the Iversons' second son was Joshua; he had been the one who had gone against Xander beca

Grace's black eyes were very bright, and there was a firm resolve in them that no one else had. She looked at Benjamin, who let go of her guiltily. "I did hide things from you in the past, but I've never done that since we got divorced. Although it's late, I'm sure you know how I feel about you.""That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about before we got married."Benjamin swayed, and he pressed his lips together tightly. He didn't speak for a long time. "What?"Grace hadn't wanted to expose him. In fact, she had initially planned on just treating him like a stranger if they met. Since Benjamin insisted on pestering her, she didn't want to be taken for a fool."If you had admitted it yourself, I would've still admired your guts as a man, even though it's late. But it seems that you don't even have the courage to admit it." Grace spoke slowly, watching as Benjamin's expression turned gradually darker. "Does your older brother, Alexander, know that you married me in his

"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

"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,
