In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 716 She Wants to Work With Jake
Grace's tone was tentative, prompting Aaron to set down his pen. "What's wrong? Don't you have faith in your boyfriend?"Grace shook her head. "I'm worried about him. Jake recently secured the Aether Group project. He just arrived in Pamore and has already struck a deal with the biggest club owner in town. Who knows if his power might be greater than what we saw?"At this question, Aaron hesitated to give a definite answer. "It's hard to say for now. Just remind Xander to be careful."Grace pondered for a moment. After some hesitation, she decided to confess. "Aaron, Jake approached me."Aaron's smile faded. "What did he want from you?""He wants me to get dirt on Bobby Baxter, the president of Aether Group.""What did you say?""I pretended to agree.""Did you tell Xander?"Grace shook her head. "If I tell him, Jake will become suspicious. I don't want to tell him for the time being."Upon hearing this, Aaron immediately understood her intentions. His expression changed. "Yo
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 717 Hawkins Group Is Involved
Luke had previously searched for Reina's daughter but failed to find her, so he hesitated before saying, "It's beyond my abilities, Ms. Lewis. We might need to seek Mr. Fulton's help."Grace nodded knowingly. "Since Susan has returned, she will spare no effort to destroy any evidence that might exist. Keep a close eye on her and make sure Benjamin doesn't suspect anything."Mentioning him, Luke chuckled. "He's in a precarious situation now.""What do you mean?""Among the illicit dealings uncovered during yesterday's inspection at Nightshade Bar, Hawkins Group's name showed up."Grace's pupils dilated slightly. This was unexpected. In her impression, although Benjamin was reckless, he wouldn't gamble with Hawkins Group. How could he collude with the officials?"The newly-appointed director of the anti-corruption department is a man of methods. He should find the evidence in no time. Benjamin is currently juggling a lot."…Meanwhile, at Hope Hospital, a nurse was tidying up the
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 718 Settle the Score
Elysium Bank's crisis was resolved on the eighth day of the new year, and Noelle was discharged from the hospital on the same day.After she was discharged, Grace accompanied her to the police station.The officer handling the case was Danzel. Since it involved two major families and even crossed international borders, it required his personal attention."The current evidence is not enough to prove attempted sexual assault, but your usage of excessive force in self-defense is irrefutable evidence, Ms. Noelle. Can you find key evidence to support your claim?"Noelle looked pained, her fingers tightly clenched. "He touched me and tore my clothes. I've told you many times. I just grabbed a beer bottle. I really didn't expect him to be so seriously injured."Her voice trembled. Grace couldn't help but hold her hand in comfort."Chief Bradley, we have provided Joshua's medical report, showing that his injuries are not as severe as claimed. Can't we close the case?""This involves con

The restaurant had been booked in advance. With just one glance, anyone could tell that it was a well-prepared setting, with a view of the flickering skyline by the seaside."You've been busy over the New Year and haven't met me much. There must be something going on since you reached out to me," Grace said with a hint of sarcasm. She looked at Xander as he elegantly cut into his steak.Xander glanced up at her, smiling faintly. "You're right. We've found Reina's daughter.""Where is she?" Grace's interest was piqued."At Reina's mother's hometown. My men have already gone to find her. If everything goes smoothly, we'll bring her back to Pamore in the next couple of days.""That's great! With her back, we can get Reina to talk," Grace exclaimed excitedly, forgetting her previous discontent."You seem very happy," Xander remarked casually as he placed the steak he had cut on her plate."Of course! With her back, the Hawkins family's secrets can be uncovered, and we can give closu
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 720 Don't Guilt Trip Her
Three hours ago, inside the study of Summitview Manor, Raymond exploded in the largest fit of anger since the New Year had begun.He had made dozens of calls to Jake, all of which had gone unanswered. He threw his phone to the ground in frustration."Damn it!"Xander, who had been standing by, bent down to pick up the pieces of the shattered phone. "Jake is a smart guy. He would never stoop to colluding with corrupt officials. Maybe we should investigate further."Yet, Raymond's fury didn't abate. "Those people are all cunning. They still have some respect for me, so as soon as they caught wind of it, they had someone tell me about it. "I've received dozens of emails, all urging me to protect Jake. There's no smoke without fire!"Xander placed the broken pieces of the phone on the table. "Perhaps that woman was spreading false rumors.""Do you think she could have spread rumors without any leverage?" Raymond shot back.Xander remained silent. Suddenly, Raymond turned to him. "

Xander pinched Grace's cheek. "Am I smelly?""It's fine. I like the smell of alcohol and smoke on you. It's different from others'. It's not disgusting." Grace spoke innocently, squeezing his waist to prove her point.Xander's eyes darkened.…The next day, when Grace woke up, she found herself alone in bed. Rubbing her waist, she got up and noticed a note that had been left on the bedside table."There's breakfast on the table. Make sure you finish it. I'm leaving to deal with some matters. See you in the afternoon."Grace smiled. In her mind, she could hear Xander's gentle and calm voice saying those words.But there was nothing gentle about him in bed. Instead, he had a primal urge. He enjoyed gripping her neck lightly and demanding that she say she loved him until he was satisfied.It was an odd contrast.…"I attended a dinner yesterday and pulled out all the stops. I finally managed to find out when Celia is debuting," Ashley reported to Grace as soon as the latter arri
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 722 She No Longer Needed to Endure
The secretary had just been transferred there and didn't quite understand the situation. She spoke with admiration in her eyes. "It's my first time seeing Mr. Fulton. He's just as the rumors say—extremely hot and suave."Hazel's phone vibrated, indicating that she had a new message. She glanced down at it. "Mr. Fulton has a girlfriend.""I know. Ms. Lewis from Amirate, right? She's also a very beautiful female powerhouse."The secretary's tone was suggestive as she continued, "But I thought Mr. Fulton wouldn't like that kind of woman. Don't men prefer gentle and virtuous wives who can cook for them after a busy day at work? Can Ms. Lewis do that?"Hearing that, Hazel gripped her phone tighter without realizing it. She glanced up at Xander, who was in the meeting room."Don't gossip about your boss," she said before leaving.She had just received news that Reina's daughter had been brought back to Pamore, and she needed to go and assist.…Celia had secured quite a few connectio

Even if they blurred the video, the hundreds of audience members present had already seen the entire content, not to mention the fellow artists on stage.Lukas felt a chill down his spine, but he also knew that the person behind this was not someone he could afford to offend. He wisely asked, "And what's in it for me, Ms. Ashley?""One million dollars." Ashley handed him a card. "Take 20 thousand dollars a month. You'll get the full amount in five months."Lukas immediately agreed. "I'll do it."He then walked onto the stage to control the situation. "How could you mess up with such a video? Change it back now!"Celia was trembling with anger and lost all interest in continuing the recording. As she stared at a figure in the corner, she understood everything at once.Grace was about to get up and leave. Even with a mask on, her stunning beauty couldn't be hidden. She glanced at Celia and then disdainfully looked away. She walked straight out, with Caleb following closely behind
