In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 762 How Much Does Xander Know
At this moment, Larry hurried over from the car, attempting to pull Shawn away.Shawn's presence was overpowering. "Try touching me."Larry's hand froze in midair. His expression showed his anxiousness. "No matter what, you're the eldest son of the Hawkins family and Mr. Benjamin's brother. You shouldn't have pushed things to this point. Hawkins Group is going to be doomed, and so is the Hawkins family."Larry was wrong. He thought saying these words would sway Shawn, but the latter's expression remained cold and unmoved.Larry added urgently, "If the Hawkins family falls, Mrs. Hawkins Senior will be left alone in her final moments. Is that what you want to see?"That hit the mark.Shawn smirked, showing a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. He quickly stood up."Threatening me with Grandma won't end well for you, and I won't let you succeed."Benjamin also sat up from the ground, resting his hands on his knees. He chuckled. "I'm just curious. Are your feelings for Gra
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 763 Orphan
Grace was beautiful and poised. Noticing her worry for Shawn, Zain couldn't help but feel puzzled. "Young lady, what's your relationship with Shawn?"Grace snapped out of her thoughts and realized that he had misunderstood. "We're friends. He helped me out."Upon hearing this, Zain visibly deflated for a moment before composing himself. "Shawn's a good kid. He's responsible and committed. Maybe not as good-looking as before, but that doesn't matter. He's a good person."Grace was confused. "Was he very good-looking before?""He was outstanding! Back when he was in college, girls who confessed to him would come to our house." Zain exaggerated.Grace couldn't help but laugh at his words. This eased some tension in the atmosphere."Did he agree to any of them?""If he had, would he still be single?" Zain clicked his tongue, nudging Grace with his arm. "Seize the opportunity.""I'm not—" Before Grace could finish her sentence, the sound of a vehicle approached from the entrance.S
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 764 Three Months Left to Live
"Deceased?" Shawn couldn't help but clench his fists.He had known that Grace was secretly investigating the Hawkins family, but he hadn't expected her to be so brave as to risk herself to get into Hawkins Manor. He didn't know her reasons for insisting on digging into these matters.They were secrets, but sitting beside him now, Grace inexplicably felt like she could confide in him."Did you know that I was Benjamin's ex-wife?""I did. You're all public figures. I've heard about it."Grace suddenly found that explaining everything clearly was quite difficult, so she chose her words carefully. "I have a friend... also related to the Hawkins family. He passed away because of Benjamin and his mom. I want to seek justice for him."Grace often looked directly into the eyes of the person she was talking to, speaking with a genuine tone that made her appear sincere.At her words, Shawn's eyes stung slightly. He raised his eyebrows to mask the changes in his expression. "Was that f
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 765 Make Sure Grace Stays There
With Shawn's assurance, Grace felt somewhat relieved. "Dr. Simpson, I'll arrange for someone to take care of her. Medical expenses are not an issue. Please do your best."Cael nodded and exchanged a glance with Shawn before walking out with him."I've seen her. Is she the lady from Coronia?"Shawn leaned against the sun-warmed wall, his gaze wistful. "Mind your own business, Cael. That's all in the past.""What do you mean it's in the past? It doesn't seem like you've moved on. These past few years have changed you so much. She must have had some influence.""She has a boyfriend now and is doing well."Cael was silenced with just one sentence. He clicked his tongue, then patted Shawn's shoulder. "You two aren't meant to be."…"What's your name?" Grace squatted beside Diana's bed and held her hand gently. "You can trust me. I mean no harm.""D-Diana." Her voice was weak."I know you used to dance. Don't lose hope. Once we get to the hospital, I'll arrange for your rehabilitat
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 766 Taken Away for Investigation
At the same time, the world outside the farm had taken a turn.Xander was taken away by Securities and Exchange Commission officials while he was in a meeting at Futurelink. He was seated at the head of the table in a white shirt, blending the essence of manhood and youth perfectly.The secretary couldn't stop the officials. "Mr. Fulton's meeting isn't over yet."The group in uniforms barged in, showing their credentials. "Sorry, Mr. Fulton, but you need to come with us."Xander glanced at them briefly and remained calm. "Give me five minutes to conclude the meeting."He was cool and collected, without a hint of panic, exuding the demeanor of a seasoned leader.It wasn't a difficult request to meet, so the leader of the group nodded and stepped aside.Xander said five minutes, and he meant exactly that. He efficiently planned Futurelink's tasks for the next few days, even considering the PR department. "Keep public opinion to a minimum. Don't let it affect the stock price."A
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 767 No One Is Happier Than Her
Shawn watched as Grace quickly dialed the number. Her expression shifted from anticipation to disappointment."He's not answering?"Grace nodded. "He's probably busy. I'll send him a text."Shawn didn't stop her. He recalled the news he had received during the day and figured out what was going on.Xander was being investigated, so no calls or messages would get through. Grace calling wouldn't change anything."Thank you, Shawn." After sending the message, Grace felt a bit relieved. "If he calls you back, please let me know, no matter how late it is."Shawn nodded and added, "You're not used to sleeping here, are you? I'll ask Zain's wife, Layla, to give you an extra blanket tomorrow."The bed was a bit hard, but Grace wasn't fussy. She quickly waved her hand. "Don't trouble Zain and Layla. I can sleep.""It's midnight, and you're still not asleep. You haven't slept in places like this, right?" Shawn hit the nail on the head.Grace smiled bashfully upon being called out. Then,
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 768 Tension
The spring night wasn't cold anymore, yet Shawn felt waves of chill in the room."If Xander was so good to you, why did you end up falling for Benjamin?"In Grace's mind, it wasn't Benjamin she was thinking of, but Alexander. She smiled wryly. "I was young. Maybe I mistook a fleeting flutter for genuine affection."Only now did she know who truly loved her and made her feel a sense of belonging.Smiling, Shawn nodded. "Don't miss this chance. Mr. Fulton cares a lot about you.""He's waited for me for many years," Grace said casually. Realizing it was too late to stay, she bid him farewell and left the room.As the door closed, the sound of a man leaning heavily against the door rang out. Walking halfway, Grace turned around in surprise, but the sound had disappeared.She thought she was hearing things.…Hazel had said that she needed Grace to take care of her, but there wasn't much for the latter to do. Grace's day was boring. She spent most of her time in the yard.Zain was
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 769 Three Deaths
After Diana had been taken away, Benjamin had immediately reported Xander, not wanting to give them time to react.Joshua scoffed. "Xander is just reaping the benefits of being born into a wealthy family. Otherwise, how could he have reached where he is today?"The story of becoming successful at 18 years of age only exists in novels. And I will never be the supporting role that he steps on."Joshua was animated. He walked in front of Benjamin and continued, "Even if the insider trading incident isn't true, it must be. Besides, I have an ace up my sleeve.""What?" Benjamin furrowed his brow.…Within half a day, this ace appeared out of nowhere.Three people at Aether Group's project site jumped off the building.Before their deaths, they wrote in blood, accusing Bobby of owing project fees, directly pointing the blame at the person in charge.Three deaths had taken place. Before efforts to suppress public opinion could take effect, the news quickly went viral, sparking extens

"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
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 826 Willing to Testify
"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
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 825 No More Involvement
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,
