In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 787 Reviewing Evidence Takes Time
As soon as Dexter arrived, Xander immediately began to explain the ins and outs of the behind-the-scenes transactions. He had also asked Hazel to supplement the evidence, detailing every single thing.Three hours later, Dexter looked at the densely packed records beside him. These things could completely clear his suspicion.He glanced at the man in front of him and asked, "Mr. Fulton, I'm curious. What made you suddenly willing to speak up?"Xander's eyebrows furrowed, his gaze sharp. "The earlier I speak up, the sooner I can resolve Mr. Hamilton's concerns. It seems you're not satisfied with that.""There's a cause and effect in everything. I don't think the evidence that came to us on a silver platter is something to be proud of." Dexter was unsatisfied that it was Xander who voluntarily confessed and not the result of a trial."There are rumors that Amirate's executive, Grace, was taken away for investigation due to tax issues from her former employer. And since she's Mr. Fult

"I won't say anything with the surveillance watching us. I'm just delivering food," Shawn firmly stated as he held a food container.Since they had already exchanged pleasantries, the staff member felt helpless. The staff member took a deep breath. "Fine. Half an hour."The floor Grace was on were all interrogation rooms. It was soundproofed to the extreme and was so quiet that only dust floated in the air.The staff member opened the door. Upon seeing Grace, Shawn immediately frowned, feeling a slight stuffiness in his chest.In the square room, her petite body was curled up in the chair. Perhaps she was tired, as she slept with her head on the table. Her ears were red from being pressed against the table, and she was devoid of the decisive attitude one would expect from a business setting.She looked more like a little girl.The noise startled Grace, and she reflexively sat up, rubbing her eyes. "Another interrogation?"Shawn turned his head, his eyes slightly red.Grace was

"Do you trust me?"Shawn raised the fork, offering it to her seriously.Grace paused, assessing him under the bright light bulb. "If it's Mr. Griffin, no. But if it's Shawn, maybe I can trust you a bit. Is that so?"It was a probing question, and Shawn's fingertips trembled slightly. At that moment, he really wanted to tell her he was Alexander."Yes.""Then I'll trust you." Grace took the fork from his hand but didn't eat the mouthful he offered.Shawn self-mockingly smirked and was about to bid farewell when a voice suddenly came from the doorway. "Sister-in-law."It was a clear, slightly provocative male voice. Grace looked up to see Jake leaning lazily against the door, holding a food container."How did you get here?" She was more surprised he called her sister-in-law. He had never called her that before."If I didn't come, how could I witness such an exciting scene?"Jake chuckled disdainfully, walking straight over and placing the food container on the table. As he reach

"Did I ask you to come?" Grace snapped.The chain on her coat was sharp, and it hit Jake's cheek, causing him to wince as blood immediately flowed.Grace felt her heart sink as she realized she had gone too far. She immediately stopped, "You…"Jake wiped away the blood with his hand, his gaze turning cold as he looked down at her. "I have trouble getting in here, but he can just come in like that? Grace, sometimes you're really brainless."Jake despised women who lacked intelligence the most, but now that he had to stay with her, he felt annoyed.Grace was well aware of what he was implying, but she didn't want to expose Shawn and subconsciously avoided delving deeper. She felt like it was a huge vortex, and once she stepped in, there would be no turning back."I know what's going on. I don't need you to tell me." Grace's attitude also turned cold, taking out a tissue and handing it to him. "Wipe it off."Jake didn't take it. "The bad guy visits me with no good intentions."Jus

In fact, it took only one day for the Securities and Exchange Commission to pass the evidence review and issue a certificate, clarifying that Xander was not involved in insider trading.In past cases, even if there was no issue found, the investigations usually uncovered some problems, and the reputation of the person investigated would suffer. Xander came out unscathed, relying on his absolute innocence and the people backing him.When Dexter signed the statement, his boss earnestly advised him, "You know who Mr. Jarvis is. He's your advisor, and you should be aware of his principles. Even with close relationships, as long as there are problems, he will investigate them thoroughly. Isn't his backing of Xander proof enough?"It was precisely because Dexter knew Winston's character and had the evidence in front of him that he agreed to sign and release Xander.However, the depth of Xander's schemes caused him to deeply furrow his brow, and he put down his pen. "Xander is not a simpl

Outside the window, the lake water rippled, and the sound of fish swimming was subtle.Xander's action of flipping through documents paused momentarily. Ultimately, he said no more and changed the subject. "I'm not in a position to show myself right now. Take this, help me find the two people on this business card, and hand these over to them."Shawn took it. "How will Grace be saved?""Benjamin can't come out right now, it’s Joshua who is handling things for him outside, I will use the power of Frenda to find his issues."Shawn asked again, "How will Grace be saved?"Xander suddenly looked up, his tone forceful. "Alexander, she's my girlfriend. Don't worry about things you shouldn't."This was, in a sense, the first face-to-face confrontation they had. It was a declaration of possession.Shawn clenched the edges of the documents, showing no weakness. "I saw her yesterday.""It's only been a few days and she’s lost quite a bit of weight. It's evident she’s anxious, yet even now

Lydia brought many changes of clothes for Grace. She busied herself with the arrangements, remaining silent with her head bowed."Why so quiet? You don't even talk when you come to see me." Grace stood by, forcing a smile and feeling somewhat uneasy.Tears welled up in Lydia's eyes, falling in large drops. "You’ve never suffered like this. From the moment I met you, you've been the diamond cherished in the palm of the Lewis family. How could you end up as a prisoner?"This reaction frightened Grace, and she hurriedly wiped away Lydia's tears. "I'm fine now, aren't I? I haven't lost any limbs.""You've lost weight."Grace was startled, and the tight feeling in her chest squeezed her. She swallowed her sobs. "Tell everyone not to worry. I haven't done anything, so they can't convict me.""Emily is so angry she wants to take a knife to the Hawkins family."A picture formed in Grace's mind, and she laughed out loud. Lydia joined in. "Aaron is also very worried about you. Your brothe

"Are there many regulations you have?" Aaron retorted with displeasure.The officials present trembled.Even though this wasn't his home turf, Aaron's commanding presence naturally intimidated them."There are hundreds of projects where Pamore and the Lewis Corporation collaborate. What do you think would happen to Pamore's GDP this year if I pull out the investments and sever these partnerships?"Aaron casually tossed his pen on the table.At that moment, someone knocked on the door, signaling to the head official. "A document has come down from above."Ten minutes later, the official returned, nodding respectfully to Aaron. "Tomorrow morning, you may visit Benjamin."Given the economic impact already caused by the troubles at Hawkins Group and Amirate, Pamore’s GDP would inevitably hit rock bottom if Aaron were to withdraw his investments.Having achieved his objective, Aaron got up and left while surrounded by a group of people.The official finally breathed a sigh of relie

"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
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,
