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
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 770 The Same Tricks
"Now that something has happened to Xander, why aren't you thinking of a way to help him? Will accusing him of these crimes be helpful?"Hestia flung the photos away. Her gaze swept over to Jake. "Not to mention the fact that we have no idea whether this is true or not. In order to settle this incident, we need to get him out.""Fulton Group's stock value is decreasing rapidly. How can I think of a way to get him out? I wouldn't be able to do it even if I had some kind of supernatural ability!"When it came to Fulton Group, which he treasured very much, Raymond found it hard to stay calm. "Let him reap what he sowed!"If it had just been the stock trading that had taken place years ago, everything would have been fine. But now, Xander's actions were threatening Fulton Group. That was crossing the line for Raymond. Hestia was so angry that her hands were trembling. This wasn't how Raymond had reacted when Jake had gotten into trouble."Even if Xander really was the one who did al
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 771 What Happened to Him
Hestia couldn't blame Raymond for getting so angry about the photos. At the time, she and Raymond had been married for a year and Winston had been about to get married. But Winston had come all the way to Frenda to see Hestia. He had wanted closure for his feelings. Raymond had been very possessive. Hestia hadn't wanted him to overthink, so she had met Winston in secret.Someone had taken photos of their meeting, which had resulted in a fight between Raymond and Hestia.Raymond had slept with Priscilla because he had gotten drunk after fighting with Hestia. No matter how much he had repented and apologized, the rift between them couldn't be mended, which was why the misunderstanding between them had continued to deepen over the years.After all these years, history had repeated itself.Hestia had never imagined that she would fall into the same trap twice.She crumpled the photos up. "We're already divorced. I don't think I need to report to you about who I'm meeting. As for

Luke hadn't been able to find Grace for several days, and he was beside himself with worry. Right then, the elevator door opened, and he saw Grace rush in, looking disheveled. "Ms. Lewis, you're finally back!" Luke's eyes lit up. But her clothes…There had been no clothes for Grace to change into at the farm, so she was wearing Layla's clothes. She looked very odd, but thanks to Grace's natural poise, she gave the outfit its own unique flair. "How is Xander?" She got straight to the point."There's been no news ever since he was arrested. There's a lot of speculation circulating, and Futurelink's PR department has been unable to suppress it. No one from Fulton Group is helping either. Maybe they received orders."Fulton Group… Grace gritted her teeth and pushed open the office door. "Who was the instigator behind the stocks case?"She didn't really need to ask, but she still wanted to get an answer."Probably Benjamin. He reported Xander with ample evidence, which is why S

When Timothy heard his subordinate's report, he closed his eyes. "Alright. Let her wait if she wants to."The subordinate had no choice but to leave.Benjamin snorted in laughter at Timothy's answer. "She was once the woman of your dreams, and she's supposed to be your friend. You are ruthless.""What else can I do? If I told her that I was the one who provided the evidence against Xander, she'd kill me," Timothy said wryly."You're more fixated on Noelle than I thought." Benjamin looked sideways at him. "Grace must be very disappointed in you for stabbing Xander in the back. I can imagine her expression right now."She must look disappointed and disillusioned. Timothy knew it very well. He got up, looking irritated. "Are you only pretending to work with Joshua?""I even gave you the security footage. Why are you still doubting me?"The security footage had been real. It would help Noelle immensely, and it could take Joshua down."What about the Aether Group project? Did Josh
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 774 She Left Me No Choice
Luke was waiting in the car. He saw Grace rushing over, still looking anxious, and he sighed."Mr. Donegan was just doing his job. Criticizing him isn't going to solve the problem right now."Grace covered her face with her hands and took a deep breath. "Do you think I don't know that? I didn't believe it in the past, but now I finally understand. The business world thinks nothing of relationships and how tenuous they are. All it focuses on is profit."She really wanted to ask Xander if he would have helped Timothy if he had known that this would happen. Grace blamed herself. If it hadn't been for her, Xander would never have intervened, and he would never have gotten stabbed in the back. "That's Benjamin…" Luke looked straight ahead as he spoke up.Grace looked up tiredly. There was a car some distance from theirs. Benjamin was dressed in a dapper suit, standing by the side of it. He had been watching her for a long time."Should I go—" Before Luke could finish speaking, Grac

"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

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,
