In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 775 No Visitors Allowed
Grace was panicking precisely because Xander had never mentioned it.He hadn't seemed prepared for any of this at all.At Grace's silence, Zoey stood up. "I've heard the rumors. Mrs. Fulton is running around trying her best to bail Xander out. Uncle Raymond hasn't done anything for now. "Without the head of the company, Fulton Group is in a dangerous situation and is facing enemies on all sides. Jake is very likely to get back in power."Hestia had many connections, but now the issue had blown up so much, and it involved international law. It would be very difficult.Grace was silent for a moment. She had been too agitated at first, but after hearing Zoey summarize the events, she suddenly thought of something."Jake?" Zoey made a noise of assent. "You saw him. He managed to benefit greatly this time."Fulton Group was in this position because of Bobby and Aether Group. Grace thought again, and she finally realized the truth. "The underground bank was never the hold that Jake

Since they had a history together, Raymond agreed to see Grace.She sat beside the hospital bed and got straight to the point. "Uncle Raymond, Xander isn't that kind of person. Whether it's the insider trading or the three murders, I know he wouldn't be involved in that kind of thing. You're his father, and you should understand."Raymond had just finished dealing with a mountain of business from Fulton Group, and he was exhausted. He looked displeased. "Xander is too aggressive. If he doesn't face some challenges, it will be difficult for him to amount to anything. Gracie, I know you're worried about him, but I know what I'm doing."Raymond's meaning was clear. He wasn't planning to get Xander out for now.Priscilla was taking care of him, and at that moment she walked over with a bowl of nourishing soup. She smiled ingratiatingly. "Ms. Lewis, this soup has been simmering all morning. Raymond doesn't have the appetite for anything right now. Why don't you drink some and calm y
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 777 Xander Already Knew
Jake drove the car himself as they sped away from the hospital.Grace clutched her seat belt. "Where are we going?""To pay our respects to the families of the deceased." Jake stepped on the gas pedal without looking at her.He drove out of the city and into the remote suburbs before finally stopping. Unfastening his seat belt, he said, "Let's go."He took out some gifts from the trunk and walked toward a house. Even from a distance, the sound of crying and wailing could be heard distinctly. The sounds of grief were heartbreaking. Grace couldn't bear it, and she didn't dare to go in. The person who opened the door saw that Jake was dressed in a suit, and he spoke roughly, "Which department are you from?"It seemed that several people had visited them lately."I'm from Fulton Group.""Are you the top executive who's in charge of everything?" The man lost his temper at once. He raised a broom and pushed Jake and Grace out."Get lost! He's gone! We don't care about your repar
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 778 Refuse to See Her
Xander had already known.Grace felt as if she were floating. She looked dazed. Was it really as Jake had said? Was Xander really responsible for everything that was happening right now?"Ms. Lewis…" Hazel went up to her worriedly to help her up.Grace's eyes alighted on the documents that Hazel was holding. "Was the application approved?"Hazel wanted to lie, but the documents were too obvious. "It's been approved. There's half an hour available for visitors, but only for official matters on business. Outsiders aren't allowed to enter."Grace's expression dimmed, but Hazel added quickly. "It's good not to see him right now. It wouldn't be good if Amirate got implicated." "I'm going with you.""Ms. Lewis…""I'll wait outside," Grace said.Hazel couldn't refuse, so she agreed in the end.…Xander was an important figure. He was currently detained, but he wasn't down-and-out. Hazel headed straight for the 28th floor. After she flashed her ID, the staff at Securities and Exc
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 779 Investigate Insider Trading
Xander hadn't even asked about Diana. Hazel's appearance had already told him how Diana was. "Reina? Isn't she missing?" Hazel was shocked. Xander didn't explain, but his meaning was clear. The visiting time had come to an end, and Hazel couldn't stay longer. The moment the elevator door opened, she saw that Grace was still sitting in the lobby. She looked frail from the back, and she seemed lonely. She must have been sitting like that for a long time.Hazel walked over. "Ms. Lewis." Grace surfaced from her thoughts. "How is he?"Hazel thought about Xander's instructions, and she answered selectively. "His health isn't very good at the moment, but it's nothing serious. He's looked through the contract and signed it. Things aren't as bad as they seem."Grace's impatience was bubbling. "What else?"Hazel looked flustered. "What else is there?"Grace was silent. "Did you tell him that I came?"Hazel laughed awkwardly. "I did, but Mr. Fulton said that he doesn't want to s
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 780 Interrogation
Dexter presented as many as 20 documents during the three-hour interrogation."Even though the Fultons provided support, you only had 30 million in your account when you were 18 years old. After bottoming out Joshua's stock market, it doubled. How did you manage to bottom out with only 30 million?"As a scion of the Fultons, Xander couldn't have been short of money. However, at that time, Raymond gave a relatively small amount of funds to train his eldest son. Neither did Xander ask him for money. Xander had earned the 30 million by himself.Xander answered Dexter's questions calmly. "When I was 18, I developed a strong interest in the stock market. The first target I focused on was the stock held by Joshua. "He expanded his wealth through this stock, but I saw the loopholes. His ambition was too great. He was attempting to short other stocks, which was the breakthrough point.""The question is, how did you spot the loopholes? We have specifically investigated this. If there were

Dexter felt angry at that moment. So many pieces of information pointed to Xander being suspected of insider trading, yet he casually denied it as if he were a bystander."Do you think we don't have recordings of your conversation with Logan?" Dexter urged, "Confess now for a different outcome than if you confess with evidence. Your mother is working hard outside. Think about that.""It's indeed a big problem. Allow me to think about it." Xander casually picked up the cigarette box on the table, took out a cigarette, and smiled. "Could I borrow a lighter?"Dexter stared at him. Eventually, he found a lighter, lighting the cigarette in Xander's mouth. The flame flickered, and faint traces of the youthful spirit could be seen on Xander's face.…The racetrack at Frenda was the largest in the city. Two magnificent horses raced on the track, ridden by men exuding class and who secretly competed with each other."Which one is Mr. Kane?" Grace asked Logan's secretary."The one on the

Before Grace arrived, Christian had the upper hand. But now, Logan had gained the key to victory. "Then I'll reconsider whether or not to cooperate with your hospital," Logan said."Mr. Kane, you can't do this!" Christian exclaimed."Let's discuss it next time. I'll have my secretary escort you out." Logan signaled to his secretary, who immediately stepped forward, gesturing to escort Christian out.He had no choice but to leave while filled with resentment and frustration.Grace withdrew her gaze, saying flatteringly, "Mr. Kane is wise. This way, Christian will be the anxious one, and negotiating the price will be much simpler now."Logan looked appreciatively at her. He took off his gloves and tossed them aside, "Ms. Lewis, it's rare for you to come to see me, and as soon as you do, it's to help. What do you need?""There is something."…Back at Pamore's Securities and Exchange Commission, the discussion was still ongoing."I'll say it again. I'm not involved in insider tra

"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,
