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

Xander furrowed his brows. He never expected Grace to say that. "You love me?""I love you. Don't you believe me?" Grace's palms were sweaty. She was worried he would fall out of love with her someday.Xander shut his eyes, then opened them again. He pressed her head against his chest and said, "I believe you wholeheartedly."His concerns and anxiety were left unsaid. All he could do was trust Grace. Grace lay contentedly in his arms, then suddenly jumped up. "I forgot that Aunt Hestia's flight is tomorrow! I haven't packed anything yet." Xander grabbed her hand. "What do you need to pack?" "Christmas is tomorrow, and I haven't bought anything." "The housekeeper will do it." "It's not the same. It's always different when you put in effort." Grace rushed, pulling him up, insisting on buying gifts at the supermarket. They arrived at a luxurious mall. Although there weren't many people, quite a few like them came to do some last-minute shopping as Christmas approached.G
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 703 A Little Girl
The little girl spoke very adorably. Grace was highly embarrassed. The girl just wished them a happy marriage.Xander, on the other hand, was in a great mood. He reached into the shopping cart, took out some bills, and handed it to the little girl. "Here's some pocket money." "That's too nice of you. There's no need…" The parents hurriedly refused. "It's for her." Xander insisted, stuffing it into the little girl's hand. Grace chuckled. "Just accept it. He's in a good mood." Xander was most likely in a good mood because of the little girl's words. As they left the supermarket, Grace asked, "Why did you tell them we're married?" "It's just a matter of time. I just said it early. It's not lying." Xander smiled ambiguously. Grace grimaced in disdain, "You like children." "They're alright, but whether we have children is up to you." Xander understood the damage a baby could bring to a woman's body; prioritizing her health was paramount. "Do you prefer boys or girl
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 704 Conning Celia
There was someone else with Victor, an Amirate Corporation legal team's lawyer.Grace walked in front, heading straight into the VIP ward area. She stopped in front of a door and knocked. A nurse opened the door. She sized Grace up and asked, "Who are you?" "I'm looking for Mr. Iverson. Is he in?" "He..." The caregiver hesitated momentarily before saying, "You can't enter without an appointment." "Who is it?" A female voice came from inside. It was Celia. The nurse stepped aside, and Celia saw Grace. She sneered. "What a surprise. Isn't it beneath Ms. Lewis' noble status to visit a hospital?" Seeing this, Grace walked straight in. Joshua was nowhere to be found in the ward. "Did I let you in? What are you looking at?" Celia tried to push her away, but Victor grabbed her wrist. "Miss, it's better to keep your distance." "Who are you? Her bodyguard? How dare you touch me! Let go!" Celia struggled. Victor wasn't angry. Instead, he chuckled. "In a sense, I am indee

Grace shook her head and said, "I've met with Reina. She ratted you out." Upon hearing this, Celia stumbled back in anger and shock. "That's impossible. I told you, I didn't do it." "Is that so? Then Reina lied. I'll have the police interrogate her again." Grace calmly deceived her and watched her crumble in confusion and anxiety. Celia glared at her fiercely, her disgust intensifying. "I'll have my lawyer tell you about the consequences of perjury." Grace finished speaking, feeling a bit annoyed, and walked to the smoking area by the window, lighting up a cigarette. The cigarettes in her bag belonged to Xander. There was probably a mix-up when they met. They were strong, but they brought a sense of calm. Either way, the trust between Celia and Reina would take a severe hit. A cornered mouse would surely make a big fuss. As the lawyer finished reciting legal terms, Celia was on the edge of agitation, screaming, "Get out! I don't want to hear it!" She ran out
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 706 Are Dating Someone
"I'm waiting for someone," Grace blurted out. "What are you doing here?""Chief Bradley is hospitalized. I'm here on duty." Angus weighed the documents in his hand and admitted. Grace was right. "Your chief must be an important man. There are many plainclothes officers around. I'm too afraid to go up," Grace half-joked, probing. Angus glanced at her and pulled her around the corner. "Our chief isn't that influential. It's someone from higher up who got admitted. He got into a car accident just as he arrived in Pamore. Now, he's in the hospital." People who would require the protection of plainclothes police must be high government officials. Grace was puzzled and asked, "Who?" Angus scratched his head. "I can't tell you that, Ms. Lewis. I have to go." "Hey—" Grace wanted to wait longer, but Xander was still not out. She even started to think she had been mistaken. Victor called to urge her. "Who's the friend you've been chatting with for so long? Grandpa is urgin
