In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 746 What Else Do You Want
Grace got out of the car and headed straight to the office. She had received a message while she had been waiting for Xander at the station. It had been from Jake. "I'm waiting for you in your office." Grace hadn't expected him to go to Amirate and wait for her in her office. She stepped out of the elevator in a hurry, only to see Luke anxiously waiting for her. "Ms. Lewis." "Where is he?" "He said he was from the Fulton family. I didn't dare to stop him, so I let him in your office." Grace suddenly became anxious. She couldn't help but scold Luke. "The Fulton family? Remember, besides Xander, no one is allowed to enter!" Luke hurriedly nodded.Grace gripped the office door handle, took a deep breath, and then pushed the door open. Her office's walls were covered with photos and awards she had received since she had taken charge of Amirate. It was densely packed and quite spectacular. At that moment, Jake was standing before the wall, admiring the awards with interes

Grace seemed to realize that she had lost her composure and turned away. Jake furrowed his brow, and he unconsciously tightened his grip on the documents in his hand. He had indeed seen Grace jump from the second-floor window to escape that day. He snapped sharply, "I wonder if you care about Xander or Shawn." She had taken such a big risk just to keep that secret hidden. At that moment, Jake didn't have a good impression of her. In fact, he felt disgusted by her. In the end, she turned out to be no different from the other women he had encountered. "I'll take this. But how can I be sure that you haven't told Xander?" "Then, how can I be sure you won't betray me? You might send the photos to Xander even after gaining this information." The two stared at each other challengingly. "If you don't say anything, I won't send it." Grace smiled and crossed her arms. "Jake, you must take me for a fool. How about this? Give me the backups of the photo, and I'll give you mine

The investigation team settled in at Hawkins Group and began the week-long interrogation the previous Monday.All of the company's employees were on standby. Everyone was tense. They were worried that there would be a problem with their work.A week later, the investigation team completed their work. Timothy received the invitation and arrived two hours later. The moment he walked out of the elevator, he could sense the oppressive atmosphere. The employee who came to meet him was someone he had never seen before. "Mr. Hawkins is waiting for you in his office."Timothy looked around. The building, which had always been grand and imposing, now looked as if it were on the brink of destruction. He walked straight to the president's office and knocked on the door."Enter." Benjamin's voice sounded hoarse and exhausted.He was sitting in his chair. There was a shadow of stubble on his chin, and his eyes seemed sunken in. There was a gray pallor to his skin. He had clearly endured se

"That's impossible." Timothy looked at the document again. The amount of tax fraud came to a total of ten figures. "There's no reason for Grace to do so! The Lewis family doesn't lack money, and neither does she!""Don't you get it, Timothy? It's not about money. It's about feelings!" Benjamin said heavily. He looked wretched and in pain. "She went through so much with our family. She hates me and Hawkins Group! She probably sowed the seeds for this long ago!" Timothy shook his head in disbelief. "You saw what she was like in business after we got divorced. This kind of thing is right up her alley!" Timothy was still doubtful. Between Benjamin, his friend of many years, and the Grace he knew, he didn't know who to believe. "Can the money be put back?" "Yes." Benjamin tore open a box of cigarettes and stuffed one into his mouth. He lit it. "As long as the money is put back, nothing will happen to Hawkins Group or Grace. However, this isn't the biggest problem for the comp

The entire office smelled like Marlboro cigarettes.After Timothy left, the door to the lounge opened and revealed Joshua. He crossed his arms. "Can you trust him?""He's the only heir to the Donegan Chamber of Commerce and is one of the vice directors of an investment bank. He's more than capable of dealing with things in yours and Xander's field."Benjamin walked over to the liquor cabinet and took out a bottle of wine and two glasses. "You didn't help him when he was in trouble. How can you guarantee that he will help you?"The dark red wine flowed into the glass. Benjamin was confident about his victory. "I know my friend. He won't just let me die." …The moment Timothy left the Hawkins Tower, a chill ran down his back. While they had been in front of the mirror earlier, Benjamin had approached him and slipped him a pendrive. He had said quietly, "I helped you find it. This is the lost security footage of that staircase at Amirate's annual party. With this, Noelle can

The waitress came up to Shawn. "Can I take your order, sir?" Shawn randomly ordered two cups of coffee and gestured for her to leave. After a while, a middle-aged woman with a pale shawl walked elegantly into the cafe. She had a good figure and obviously took care of her appearance. She didn't look her age, and she looked both pleasant and aloof. She sat down opposite Heidi. "Did you get anything?" "Susan is very cautious. It's only been a few days, so she hasn't opened up to me at all. But I've given her quite a lot of money, and she's gradually starting to trust me. "I persuaded her to invest in some projects that are sure to make a loss, but she's dumb enough to think that she can make money." Heidi spoke animatedly in a rather dramatic fashion. It amused the woman opposite her. "That isn't your goal." "Oh, I know, Hestia. You don't come back to Pamore often, and you don't usually ask me for help either. I will definitely do my best, but this just needs time." He

Amirate had recently started work for the new season. Grace had set a general direction, which was to start looking for clean energy sources. It wasn't a short-term project, and the rate of voting from the board of directors was low, as they had all chosen to observe for now."Those who entered the industry first have taken most of the pie. If we try to enter now, we won't be able to get much. We may end up wasting a lot of resources and manpower instead." Grace was dressed in a business suit. She sat at the head of the table as she patiently analyzed their latest business policy. "As the environment in our country continues to improve, clean energy sources will become mainstream. Although this isn't our main specialty, it's not too late for us to enter the game." "It is true that clean energy sources can bring great rewards, but we now have AI, the Internet, and entertainment. All three areas are up-and-coming trends. Why should we take the risk?""Who decided on those three

Grace didn't move. She stared at Xander's expressionless face and couldn't help asking, "What about you? I've told you so much, but you never tell me anything about your work."Xander smiled slightly. "They're company secrets. How can I tell you?"This was what she had said to him the last time. Grace was annoyed. "Why would I want to know your secrets? Just tell me, has anything happened lately?"Xander thought for a moment. He said meaningfully, "There is something rather strange that I can tell you about."A few days ago, I received an anonymous email informing me that there's a mistake with the Aether project, and that Bobby is running an underground bank. If I read between the lines, the email was warning me to be careful."As he spoke, Grace felt her heart jump into her throat. She tried her best to remain calm. "Who would be kindhearted enough to warn you? Have you cracked the IP address yet?""It's highly secure, and I was unable to crack it. I told Hazel to go and check

"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

"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

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,
