In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 688 Social Retribution
In an instant, Grace blushed crimson. Previously, she had taken the initiative to flirt, but she had actually been acting tough. Now that Xander had taken the lead, he was possessive and aggressive. Even his breath felt amorous. Just locking eyes with him sent electric currents coursing through her body.She suddenly felt at a loss. "S-So soon?"Xander propped himself on the pillow beside her with one hand. He was amused by her reaction. "Why so nervous? Weren't you looking forward to it earlier? You were disappointed when I didn't give it to you."Grace immediately reached out to cover his mouth. "It's not the same! I was just curious!"His large hand lingered on her slender and fair leg, teasing her. Smiling, he asked, "Are you not curious now?""I am, but…"If Xander took the initiative, he could really do it. Grace felt a sense of fear creeping in. She swallowed nervously. "You've had a long day. I'm afraid you're not in condition for it."As soon as she said it, she reg
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 689 Not a Simple Favor
It seemed like Joshua's and Celia's appearance was just a coincidence. They just had a stroke of luck.Grace thanked Angus, but she seemed dissatisfied.Angus reassured her, saying, "Ms. Lewis, the girls are not in any life-threatening danger, and the person who drugged them has been found. Without evidence, we can't continue the investigation."Grace nodded understandingly. "Can I go see the suspect?""Of course, follow me."As Angus led the way, a figure emerged from around the corner and passed by them. Grace recognized him immediately. "Shawn, what are you doing here?"The figure, who wasn't wearing a mask and had a straight back, was none other than Shawn.He glanced up and made eye contact with the three of them. Instinctively, he hid the document he was holding behind his back."Ms. Lewis, Mr. Fulton."Xander remained calm and extended his hand. "Why are you here, Mr. Griffin?"Shawn glanced at Angus and replied, "The teahouse was robbed. I'm here to report it.""Robb

Xander nodded and glanced at the document in Shawn's hand. "The meeting has been moved up by two days. Please reserve a private room for me."Shawn faced his glance. "Alright."After Grace finished seeing the suspect, she didn't notice anything unusual. The woman was emotionally unstable. She glared at Grace with red eyes and wasn't able to speak coherently.Just as she came out, she received a call from an unknown number. "Hello?""Celia caused trouble at your annual party. I apologize on her behalf." It was Benjamin. It seemed he had already heard about it.Grace took a deep breath. He had probably known that she wouldn't answer his calls, so he had called from a different number."Did you instruct her to do that?""How could I? Of course not.""Then, why are you apologizing? Or is it that you can control her now?" Grace was angry, and he had just so happened to call, becoming a target of her venting.Benjamin went silent for a few seconds. "Since Celia got involved with J
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 691 Former Teacher
Three days before Christmas, Xander went to Blossoms Teahouse for a meeting without taking Grace along.Before this, she had kept sticking to him, perhaps thinking he would return to Frenda. Now that she knew he was taking a short break and could stay until after Christmas, she wasn't as clingy. She preferred to laze around in bed in the late morning.Spencer opened the door for Xander. "Mr. Fulton, your guest has arrived."Xander nodded and passed by Shawn at the front desk. A scent of magnolia wafted through the air, a fragrance belonging to women. Shawn had smelled it before, when he was with Grace.Though he was inexperienced, he understood that it represented intimacy between Xander and Grace.Shawn let out a slow breath.The private room wasn't large, but it offered extreme privacy. Winston Jarvis, an elderly man, was sitting there. He was the deputy secretary of the Pamore government and a close friend of Hestia's. When Xander was abroad, he was Xander's university pro
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 692 Unfathomable Thoughts
Spencer hurried over. "What's wrong?"Shawn played with the tea set in his hands, as if deep in thought. "That's my political law teacher from the police academy.""He recognized you?""He only taught me for a year, and then he was transferred. I haven't seen him since. I never had a chance to repay his kindness." Shawn returned to his separate room."It's been so many years, and my face has changed drastically. I'm sure he's long forgotten me."Choosing the police academy had been Shawn's way of escaping from the Hawkins family. He hadn't found his true passion until Winston had guided him and taught him to strive for the career he wanted.So, even though they had only been teacher and student for a year, it held special significance for Shawn.Inside the room, Winston still hadn't touched the tea in front of him."Xander, if it had been many years ago, I would have agreed to your request immediately. But now, I've reached this position, and everyone is trying to find fault wi
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 693 Rape Accusation
By the time he returned to the manor, Grace was awake. She was wearing a white nightdress, and she looked beautiful and gentle despite having no makeup on. She was standing in the garden, watering the plants. Droplets of water sprayed into her arm, and they shone like jewels under the sunlight. When Xander saw this scene, his impulsive mood calmed down at once. An involuntary smile appeared in his eyes. "You're back!" Grace saw him standing by the car. She threw the hose down and ran over. "Why didn't you tell me that you were going out?" Xander caught her in his arms. "I woke up early and was afraid that I would disturb your rest." Grace looked doubtful, and she tapped his chin with her finger. She said in a small voice, "I want to sleep with you tonight." Xander choked at how direct she was. A smile played about his lips as he said, "You're so forward." He carried her inside and closed the door to block out the cold wind. "Let me show you something.""What?"Grace t
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 694 Sacrificing Noelle
"Grace, I didn't hurt him on purpose." Noelle sounded tearful. She knew that since Grace had come, she must have found out about everything."I know that you wouldn't. Joshua had bad intentions." Grace comforted her at once and patted her on the back.On the day of the annual party, Joshua had dragged Noelle away while Timothy hadn't been with her. He had taken Noelle to a deserted corner and tried to violate her, but she had resisted strongly. She had managed to grab a wine bottle and smash it over his head. As a result, Joshua had a severe concussion. In his anger, he had called the police and reported her for intentional harm.The place where it had taken place had no security cameras, and it involved a conflict between two upper-class families, which made it very difficult for the police to deal with.Noelle sobbed in Grace's arms for a while. Grace asked, "What's your dad's opinion on how to deal with this?"There was silence for a while. Noelle's mood became even more
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 695 Can You Help
"You have one foot in the political world, but you have friends who are in business. Both Benjamin and Frederick would be able to help." Xander was impassive, as he didn't think that this was a big problem. "As long as you can solve the crisis for Elysium Bank, Anthony won't need to run around looking for help. Noelle's trauma will also be healed with time."Timothy put his hands on the railing and stared into the distance. "Do you understand the capital market well, Mr. Fulton?"His tone didn't sound right. Xander looked at him. "Frederick grew up under the protection of the Morris family, and he has never had to experience any big difficulties. It isn't very practical to rely on his help." Frederick was a mindless, rich heir, and just being safe and healthy was already an achievement in itself for him. That was how Timothy had always thought."Hawkins Group has many resources." Xander pointed out. Timothy's expression darkened further. After what had happened, he had gon
