In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 79 Take off Your Clothes
At 9:00 pm, Grace and Zoey arrived at the cocktail party. It was a gathering for the big guns in the entertainment industry. Of course, people had brought their close friends with them as well. Grace was dressed in a long, elegant dress with a ribbon on it. The moss green material was smooth and silky, devoid of any wrinkles. It clung to her curves perfectly, and her collarbones were bare of any jewels. She looked extremely elegant.She was outstandingly beautiful and attracted stares from all directions the moment she entered. Everyone was shocked that the chief editor of Global Entertainment Magazine was so well connected that she had managed to invite the rumored partner of Simon to come with her. However, people kept a respectful distance due to GEM Magazine's status.Zoey still had the same chilly attitude when it came to socializing. She would stiffly acknowledge toasts made to her, and it was Grace who helped her mingle around. "I feel like I'm able to stay longer

"Ladies first."Charles sat down and gestured for her to take a seat as well. Grace took the dice box and shook it disinterestedly. Her slender fingers rested on the lid, and her demeanor relaxed as if she were just playing. "I'm done."Charles grinned sinisterly at Grace, who didn't seem to be taking the game seriously. The dice probably hadn't even moved, and it was almost like she had decided to lose on purpose. The onlookers couldn't understand what she was doing and looked at each other. Was that it?With such a large audience watching, a vigorous shake would have been more appropriate. Surely she knew how many dice there were?Did she really think she could win like that?What a joke!Charles had no intention of going easy on his opponent. He was determined to get his exclusive scoop on Simon. He prepared himself for a few seconds and began an elaborate routine that showed off his skills. He could barely see over the top of the table because he was so short.

The onlookers were shocked. Richard was a legend in the gambling world of Pamore. He had kept a low profile for the past few years, but he was an absolute threat compared to half-assed Charles. However, forcing a young person like this was inappropriate for an old man of his standing. Grace shrugged carelessly. "What if you lose?"Richard was clearly here to antagonize her. Hmph!Was he joking? Admit that she was the third party in that relationship?He was crazy."I will not lose!" Richard declared loudly. "Just tell me whether or not you agree to this bet!"He was being an unreasonable bully using his power and authority, but no one dared speak up. "If you lose, then make Yvonne kneel down in front of me to admit her wrongdoings, and make her slap herself in the face for getting involved in my marriage!"Grace's gaze fell on the diamond ring that Richard wore on his thumb. "And … I want you to give me that diamond ring of yours as an apology!"Everyone's hearts were

Everyone's attitude changed immediately. They had all thought Richard was an upright man, and they were surprised to see that he was just like everyone else. "My goodness, taking back his words because he was discovered cheating! If he hadn't been discovered, then Ms. Lewis would have been humiliated for nothing.""It's completely immoral to force someone to say that they're the third party in a relationship when they were the original partner.""We may be entertainment reporters, but we don't write stories that aren't true. Mr. Quine Senior must be getting soft in his old age!" "There's no use being loud and bossy if he can only bluster."Richard was so enraged that the veins on his neck were bulging out. The comments around him became more and more insulting."Here!"He pulled off the thumb ring roughly and was about to slam it on the table. But he couldn't bear to do so and put it gently into Grace's palm instead. He said threateningly, "You'd better take good care of it.

At this time, there was the sound of a top-notch sports car engine. Out of the crowd of expensive cars, a sleek, royal blue sports car stopped in front of Grace and Zoey. Caleb's right arm was still in a cast, and he got down from the passenger seat. "Gracie, I'm here!"Grace looked worriedly at the cast on Caleb's right arm. "Your arm hasn't fully recovered yet, and you're already running around."She had come back to the country secretly in order for Caleb to continue recuperating in Frenda, but he had still followed her here. "It's because I missed you! Since my injury is fine, how could I not come back to accompany you?"Caleb glanced at Benjamin and snorted coldly, as if indicating that this was his territory. He motioned to the chauffeur to give the keys to Grace and said, "You'd better drive today.""You still trust me?"Grace looked at the key in her hand with a hint of hesitance in her eyes. In the nights following the car accident, she would occasionally jolt awa

Grace stood still. "Slap yourself in the face, kneel down, and apologize! You still need to do both of these things. What are you being so arrogant for?"Yvonne was enraged. "Are you crazy? Why would I kneel down to a woman like you?"The cold, indifferent expression on Grace's face was what she hated the most. She hated the fact that she had failed to kill Grace and had gotten herself into a load of trouble instead. "It's fine if you don't want to kneel. In any case, once the baby is born, you'll still have to go to jail. I have plenty of time to watch you reap the rewards you sowed." Grace smiled sharply. "Even if I go to jail, I will still give birth to the fruit of love between Benjamin and I. Our bond will never be broken," Yvonne snorted coldly. "Unlike you. You had nothing even after three years of marriage, not even an egg!"Grace's gaze turned chilly at once. This was her ultimate trigger. The most humiliating thing she had heard during that marriage was this!S

Although she knew there was no need to do so, Grace still looked toward the sound of the voices. It was Benjamin and Yvonne, her old friends. She started to ponder what a small place Pamore was. Yvonne pulled on Benjamin's hand, leading him into the shop. At the sight of them looking like a couple, Grace's heart sank. An indescribable sense of bitterness swept over her, and it was as if time stood still. She had just heard the news of their engagement, and now she had run into them shopping for their wedding rings … In their three years of marriage, the only thing that Benjamin had ever given her was that wedding ring. He hadn't even bothered to get her measurements, so she had been reduced to measuring it secretly while he had slept. Now, he had come personally with Yvonne to choose wedding rings at the jewelry store. Grace only felt a sense of betrayal. She had been betrayed by her own foolish self in the past. She felt some pressure on her shoulder, and Caleb app

"As the fiancé of the Quine family's daughter or as my ex-husband?" Grace spoke each word carefully."Think for yourself. Which identity makes you qualified?"Benjamin was taken aback, realizing he had crossed a line.He was the least qualified person to ask such a question, as he was now choosing an engagement ring with someone else.At once, Benjamin walked to Yvonne's side. "Let's go."Yvonne's eyes gleamed with triumph. "But we haven't picked a ring yet.""We can go somewhere else."Yvonne quickly followed him and looped her arms around his before saying softly, "Wait for me."After they left, the smile on Grace's face faded."Are you still upset?" Caleb looked at her."If you say another word, I'll tell Aaron that you're bullying me," Grace threatened.Caleb quickly begged for mercy. "Please don't. Aaron asked me to take care of you. I'll be in trouble if you tell him that."When they returned to Lewis Manor, Timothy had been sitting in the living room for a while.Se

"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

"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,
