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

"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

"It's not difficult, but there is a risk. In Hawkins Group's current condition, we can't afford to get caught up in even the tiniest mess." Benjamin did not hesitate at all.Timothy had pleaded with his long-time friend once more. "We've known each other for so many years. Can't you do it for my sake?""Timothy, no matter how crazy you were when you were pursuing Grace, you were never impulsive."This had shattered Timothy's last shred of hope.He pulled himself out of his memories and tossed the cigarette stub into the trash can. "It doesn't matter. I will save Noelle, even if it means I can no longer be a deputy director." Then, he got up and walked briskly toward the hospital room."Timothy." Xander called out to him in a crisp voice."Joshua is second in line in the Iverson family. For the past few years, he's been competing against his Gabriel for the right to the family inheritance. "He came to Pamore to make trouble of his own accord, so perhaps Gabriel hasn't caught w

"Gracie?" Elizabeth came out of the room, leaning on her walking stick. She was delighted. "Have you come to see me?"Grace hated the Hawkins family, but she cared for Elizabeth. "It's almost the new year, Grandma. I came to visit you and to bring you a gift." Grace put her things down and went up to help Elizabeth. "How has your health been recently?""I've been very bored. It's been a long time since I felt this happy." Elizabeth gripped Grace's hand tightly, looking delighted to see her. "Are you really that busy? You're just like Benjamin! He can't even make time to come home and visit!"Grace hugged her and said comfortingly, "Well, I'm here now! When Benjamin isn't so busy, he'll surely come by too."Elizabeth had accepted that Grace would no longer be her granddaughter-in-law, but she still couldn't help feeling that it was a pity. She sighed."Will you have lunch here, Ms. Lewis?""Yes. I miss the vegan food that you make." Grace always spoke so sweetly, and she was

Elizabeth sat against the light in the darkened room. She looked tired and old, and she sighed continuously. "It was a terrible thing… A terrible thing."Grace walked up to her tentatively and said in a soft voice, "Grandma, I'm very sorry to have mentioned something that upset you so much."Elizabeth sighed again and waved her hand. "She was just a maid, and it's all in the past now. Forget it."Grace squatted down and took her hand. She asked tentatively, "Didn't she take good care of you?"The wrinkled corners of Elizabeth's eyes drooped. She looked weighed down with her thoughts. "I guess you could say that."Even though she had been unable to glean any actual information, Grace's heart truly ached for Elizabeth. The latter had always taken good care of her. "Grandma, the rest of the Hawkins family treated me badly, and I won't forget it. However, I also remember how nice you were to me. "If there's anything I can help with, please tell me at any time. I will try my best t

Grace frowned.It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Lyra had been angered to death. She hadn't even been able to see her own son. Susan was truly evil!"Why didn't she face any legal consequences?""How could she? Everything was done legally, and eating supplements during pregnancy isn't a crime. It couldn't be counted as intentional harm."Grace immediately understood. "It was done by the maid Susan hired!"How manipulative of her! She had done everything without leaving a trace. Elizabeth admitted it. "Her name was Reina."It had been the janitor at the annual party. So, she was one of Susan's people! No wonder she had taken orders from Celia. It was no surprise that Elizabeth was so angry."If this is what happened, then why did you…" Grace hesitated, but Elizabeth understood what she meant. "Why did I let her marry into the family?""Yes.""She said she was pregnant."For the sake of the child and the reputation of the family, the Hawkins had covered everyth

Benjamin became even angrier. "Don't act so high and mighty! Isn't what you wanted already standing next to you?"He was referring to Grace."Benjamin! Watch your mouth! I'm a person, not an object, and I'm definitely not one of the Hawkinses' possessions!"Grace retorted at once. She took Xander's hand to get in the car, but Benjamin blocked their path."Move aside!"Benjamin's eyes flicked between them. Xander looked perfectly relaxed and calm as he allowed Grace to lead him. Benjamin finally moved. He turned swiftly and headed straight for the manor.Half an hour ago, Elizabeth had called him and commanded him to come back at once. That was why he had rushed back, but he hadn't expected to meet Grace. Something didn't seem right. Something must have happened.The moment he entered, Elizabeth asked accusingly. "Why is Celia back?""Grace told you?""Who gave the order for Reina to appear again? Was it Celia or Susan? Where are they?"Benjamin was confused, but he caught

Grace leaned into his embrace and played with her fingers. After a long time, she straightened up and said seriously, "I'm thinking of doing something, but I want to ask your opinion on it. If you don't agree, I won't do it."From her earnest expression, Xander could tell that she was nervous and uneasy. He took her hand comfortingly. "Go ahead.""I want to investigate the truth about Lyra's death and bring the culprit to justice."The corners of Xander's lips turned down when he heard this. "I know that this doesn't have much to do with investigating Celia, but after I listened to Grandma's story today, it keeps weighing on my conscience. "I feel that now that I know about it, I can't just stand by and do nothing," Grace explained nervously as she waited for him to reply.Xander lowered his eyes and stared at her hands. "Investigating the affairs of the Hawkins family will be equal to falling out completely with Benjamin. Are you sure about this?"The ultimate result would

"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,
