In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 734 Grace Handled All of It
Xander didn't respond immediately, so Grace turned to look at Hazel. As his most capable assistant, she must know.Xander had just ended a meeting before heading to the residential building. Since he had been busy all day, he didn't look good and seemed tired.Just as Hazel was about to answer, Xander interrupted, "The project they've taken involved allegations of unfair competition. If Hawkins Group falls, Benjamin can't escape blame."Grace didn't understand all of it but still nodded.At this moment, Hestia came and took Grace by the hand to lead her upstairs. "I've prepared a warm bath for you. Take a bath first to refresh yourself. Look at how dirty you are now.""How can you be the one to prepare the bath for me?" Grace exclaimed, only then realizing how dirty she was.Helping her take off her coat, Hestia pushed her into the bathroom. "I'm your godmother—your mother in a sense. What's wrong with a mother preparing a bath for her daughter?"Grace immediately relaxed upon h

Hazel was shocked."So, Benjamin is confident because he's not afraid of being investigated."Xander speculated that there was a high likelihood that Benjamin was using Grace as a shield. "This isn't the only issue with Hawkins Group. It depends on the direction of Dexter's investigation."…Taking a bath had indeed helped Grace relax. Soon, she felt somewhat drowsy. She heard someone approaching from behind and massaging her temples gently, easing her tension.She thought Hestia hadn't left yet. "You don't need to do this, Aunt Hestia."There was a muffled chuckle from above. It sounded like a man's. Grace immediately turned around, pushing away the man's hand. "Who are you?"Xander's eyes sparkled with a smile. "You're so vigilant, even at home. You're quite cautious."So, it was him.Grace breathed a sigh of relief, sitting back in her original position. "Why didn't you make any noise?"She faced away from Xander, concealing her nervousness.Perhaps being cautious around

After the New Year, there was an upheaval in Pamore, with significant changes in both the government and business sectors.Many of the ladies in the upper-class social circle had changed as well. Those who gathered for poker and afternoon tea were mostly unfamiliar faces.That day marked Susan's first gathering in Pamore since her return. She hosted the event in the garden at Hawkins Manor, and many wealthy ladies attended."Oh, I knew Benjamin was a good kid. He wouldn't really keep you from coming back. By the way, here's some fabric I specially got for you. It's perfect for making a dress."The person speaking was the wife of Pamore's largest fabric merchant. The fabric she was holding was embroidered with gold thread, making it look quite valuable.Susan couldn't take her eyes off the fabric as she took it. She said, "Oh, you didn't have to.""You look better after being out there for a while. Benjamin is a good son to you, and your daughter is beautiful. "I saw a news repo

"But what?""Mr. Victor is an expert in this field. Can we ask him to—"Before Luke could finish his sentence, Grace interrupted, "No.""Victor's job doesn't allow him to repeatedly break the rules, and I don't want to cause him trouble." At this point, Grace couldn't help but feel a little regretful that she hadn't found the hacking expert Victor had mentioned. Otherwise, she might have been able to ask for their help."Let's think of another way. Also, keep a close eye on the Hawkins family."Luke agreed.After that, Grace contacted Zoey and asked her to help boost Celia's popularity. After hearing Grace's intention, Zoey chuckled. "Have you told Lydia about this?""I've already reached out to you, so of course, I've told her. She doesn't mind. In fact, she's a bit excited."Zoey laughed. "Excited? Her boyfriend is rumored to be dating another woman, and she's excited?"Grace also found it strange. Yet, she understood Lydia well and could guess the reason. "I suppose her b

In truth, Blossoms Teahouse wasn't remote. It was located in the city center.Joshua's secretary had reported it as remote since there were very few customers there/ Sometimes, the teahouse would have less than five customers.Without the bustling excitement from the opening or the marketing with the help of an internet celebrity, everything had returned to a tranquil state. The teahouse looked isolated, even in the city center.To the west of the teahouse, there was an artificial lake in sight nearby. It was sunset, and the setting sun dyed most of the scenery red.Xander had just finished meeting with clients and was standing by the window. Spencer came in to tidy up the tea set. "Mr. Fulton, would you like more tea?"Turning around, Xander studied Spencer from head to toe. "What's your name?""Just call me Spencer." Spencer looked righteous, and his eyes were sharp."You don't look like someone who works with tea leaves. How are you doing this?"Lowering his head, Spencer co

Shawn didn't give a direct answer. "Actually, you don't need to report your work to me, Mr. Fulton."Xander ignored the comment and watched the fish fight for food. "Hawkins Group was investigated after the New Year. This deputy director is worried about being implicated in the matter, so he came to surrender to me."Shawn looked at Xander. "Do you mean to say that surrendering makes up for the lives that were changed?""Mr. Hawkins is a good man. He provided a considerable amount of compensation, enough for them to live comfortably for the rest of their lives."Shawn remained unmoved, snorting. "Is that so?"Suddenly, Xander chuckled. "You're quite righteous, Mr. Griffin. You don't seem to like enterprises like Hawkins Group.""I hate any enterprise that doesn't value human life," Shawn replied."Then, you must hope for Hawkins Group to fall."Sensing Xander probing, Shawn relaxed slightly. "These are the things you should do, and they have nothing to do with me.""I was ju

Grace was having secrets now. Xander smiled, not taking it to heart.Before they returned to Summitview Manor, Grace went to a restaurant to get Hestia's favorite dishes. While waiting, Xander said, "You don't have to go to such trouble. She can order whatever she wants.""It's different. I just want to treat Aunt Hestia well. She'll be happy too."Xander rested a large hand on her waist, tapping lightly as he spoke. "Are you treating her well as her goddaughter or her future daughter-in-law?"Grace was already immune to his teasing. "Her goddaughter.""Don't you have confidence in your status as her future daughter-in-law?""That's your problem." Grace turned and lifted his chin slightly with a hint of seduction. "It depends on your sincerity and the wedding gifts you're offering."Grace was already charming. When she put on a seductive look deliberately, she captivated him without fail. Xander caught her withdrawing hand. "I'll give you whatever you want."There was a stron

Each of them was sitting in front of a laptop, wearing headphones, and typing away. They were fully focused.Shawn nodded and called Spencer over. "Stay here. Serve the guests well.""I said no need. Are you deaf? Get out!" The person yelling was an irritable man with a stubble.Shawn remained calm. "This is our teahouse's etiquette. You can have no orders, but we must still serve you.""You really don't understand plain language. I told you we don't need your service. Get out!"The man's patience was running out. He stood up and pushed Shawn and Spencer out. Just as he was about to close the door, Shawn suddenly pushed him back, swiftly and concisely pinning him down on the couch. "Spencer! Unplug their laptops!"The man cursed out, "Fuck!"However, the others were not pushovers. They quickly got up, closed their laptops, and stopped Spencer. "Turns out there are actually hidden talents in such a small teahouse."After saying that, they all smashed their teacups and started

"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
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 823 No Longer Under Fulton Group
"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,
