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

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

"You're impossible." Grace turned around. "I don't want to see you again."She strode off. Benjamin reached out a hand to try and stop her, but he missed. Grace's dress flared, and Benjamin caught sight of her bandaged ankle. He frowned. He had seen that kind of bandaging before. Anyone who had graduated from the police academy would know how to do it. Every New Year, Alexander refused to return to Hawkins Manor. It always made Elizabeth rather sad, so she would arrange for things to be delivered to him. Once, Benjamin had been roped into it and had gone to see Alexander. It had been raining heavily that year, and the police academy had been in a remote location. As they had been driving, a landslide had occurred. Both Benjamin and the driver had been buried in it. The students from the police academy had rescued them. Alexander had been one of them. He had been surprised to see Benjamin, but he was mature beyond his years. "You're Benjamin.""...you're Alexander.""A

There was a woman standing beside Joshua. She looked like she was trying to keep a low profile, but anyone could see that she was dressed from head to toe in branded attire. It was obvious that she was afraid that no one would notice her.She took Joshua's arm and smiled sweetly. "Ms. Noelle, you're as beautiful as I imagined."Noelle had been talking to Joshua, but the woman had interrupted them. The people around them looked at her strangely, and Joshua pulled his arm away. In answer to Noelle's previous question, he said, "No."The woman's expression darkened. Noelle's lip curled. "No wonder. Since we haven't met for so many years, I thought that perhaps your taste in women got worse."She was young and very charming. Joshua couldn't look away from her. "You're all grown up now, and you've got a sharp tongue. Do you have a boyfriend?"Noelle was about to speak when Anthony stopped her. "Not yet. She's still young. We're not in a rush about these things.""She's reached t

Joshua stuck out his hand and pulled Celia into his embrace. "She says she doesn't know who you are."Benjamin didn't say anything. He stared intently at Celia, who had changed so completely. No matter how angry he was, he couldn't make a scene at this time. Elysium Bank's annual party wasn't a joke, and there were many high officials present. He couldn't embarrass Anthony. Joshua was even more powerful than Hawkins Group, and it wouldn't be a good idea to offend him either. Grace could tell that Benjamin was suppressing his anger. When Joshua and the others took their seats, Timothy followed them. Grace grabbed Noelle's hand and whispered in her ear. Noelle nodded.After that, Grace didn't hang around longer; she left the party. Luke was waiting outside. "The production company that Joshua invested in is Stellar, which is one of the most popular companies right now. They're rivals with Amirate's film and television department.""Check the artists that he's signed on rec

The next day, Noelle rushed to Amirate to tell Grace about what had happened the night before."Joshua has an official girlfriend that he's been seeing for about three or four months. However, the Iversons don't acknowledge her existence, and her background is unclear. They just treat it as him playing around."Grace was flipping through some documents. "For the Iversons, even both the Hawkins family and Hawkins Group put together are insignificant. "Besides, Benjamin had exiled Celia to Astana. How did she come back?"Noelle shook her head. "No one knows. I heard that Joshua erased all traces of her past."This was interesting. Was Celia really that capable?Grace twirled the pen in her hand. "How were things last night?""Joshua and Timothy were like oil and water. Timothy tried to trick him into slipping up but failed despite trying the entire night. He was furious."Grace couldn't help laughing at the idea that Timothy had failed for once."Celia was at the table playing

Celia heard Grace's voice and turned around slowly. "Oh, I see that the boutique's real owner is here."Grace was calm as she snatched the bag from Celia's hand. She scanned it with her phone. "The official website's scanner shows that it's authentic. What do you have to say?"Emily took Grace's arm. "She's doing it on purpose. She just wants to make trouble. I already scanned it earlier."Celia crossed her arms over her chest and said arrogantly, "Then, it must be damaged because you didn't store it properly. I'm not going to accept this bag. You must give me a full refund.""You're shameless!" Emily was so angry that her scalp prickled. She tried to push past Grace. Grace stopped her. "Ms. Hawkins, it's okay if you don't accept this bag. We can give you a full refund as well. I'll just let the official manufacturer know so that they will never custom-make anything for you from now on. How about it?"In other words, Celia would be blacklisted. Celia's expression changed. Th

"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
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,
