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

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

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

"I'll get someone to keep an eye on it," Benjamin said dismissively. "How could you do something like that? It's an embarrassment to our family."Celia's face turned red, then white. At that moment, Susan came downstairs. "Don't blame her. If you hadn't exiled her to Astana, would she have done something like that?"Susan was extremely displeased, and she looked angrier at the mention of Grace. Celia's lip curled, and she walked over to Benjamin. "Let's not talk about that. Benjamin, that woman didn't have good intentions from the start. She said she never had feelings for you! Are you really going to pine after someone like that?"Benjamin had been about to pick up his wine glass, but he faltered when he heard that. He looked impatient, and he was even more irritated when he thought of the unreplied message. "Pining after her? Isn't this what you wanted?"Celia was shocked into silence by his reply. Joshua was standing beside them. He did not see Susan offering him a cup of

Frederick was confused.Benjamin narrowed his eyes as he watched Grace's slender figure walk straight to the room at the end of the corridor and push the door open to enter.He stopped a waiter passing by. "Who is using the premium private room today?"The waiter said respectfully, "It's Mr. Fulton of Futurelink."Benjamin took out two cigarettes deliberately. "Oh? Who is he entertaining?"The waiter hesitated and was silent for a while. Benjamin took out a card from his jacket pocket and handed it over along with the cigarettes. "Who is he entertaining?"The waiter turned sideways and gestured for him to look. "They're the people who drive these cars in the city. There are only a few of them."He looked in the direction of the parking lot. There were a few low-profile Bentley Mulsannes and Audi A6s. …Xander very rarely drank too much. Even when he was entertaining guests, he would control himself. With his position and influence, no one would even try to ply him with alco

"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,
