In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 806: Xander is Out
Hestia sat across from Xander. "How can you be sure that the people behind Benjamin are those two?"This move could almost be described as a fatal blow. Although the investigation is still ongoing, the downfall of the Lewis family and their affiliates seemed all but confirmed. Winston had zero tolerance for such matters."It's not hard to find out. Just look into which departments Hawkins Group has had the deepest dealings with over the years, and where there have been more unreasonable collaborations."Xander handed his mother a cup of hot water. "You don't have to come back anymore."Hestia didn't accept it and instead stared at him. "You're being investigated. Grace is being investigated. How can I leave Pamore peacefully? Even if you don't tell her, you should at least inform me."Xander had grown noticeably thinner, his features more defined. As a mature, clean-cut, and wealthy man, countless women would throw themselves at him."I thought that if my mother appeared to be ve

Before leaving, Hestia asked Xander, "When do you plan to make an appearance? Not to mention losing Fulton Group, you still have Futurelink. The outside world is buzzing, and it's not good for your reputation."Everyone thought he hadn't come out yet and said Xander had become a discarded piece that was unable to return to the business world.Hazel was helping Hestia put on her coat. "Mr. Fulton has his plans. We are waiting for the official statement."This had been communicated by Winston, and Dexter was handling it, but Xander meant to wait a bit longer.They had to wait until his reputation was worse and the crisis was deeper.After Hestia left, Hazel advised, "Although you control Futurelink, without Fulton Group's support, the shareholders have grievances against you. Plus, there are recent deals that need your personal handling, so we can't wait any longer."There was still no news from Winston on when it would be handled. "How long is the deadline?" Xander asked."No mor

He rarely wore formal suits. Most of the time, his attire was casual—white shirt, black pants, with few other colors, exuding both warmth and aloofness.Today, perhaps due to the formal occasion, he donned a well-tailored custom suit that perfectly accentuated his tall and lean figure.The partner shook hands with him, and he responded with a slight smile. The camera captured his profile—distinct and angular. Today, his demeanor was exceptionally imposing.Grace stared at the man in the video, her heart skipping a beat. The last time she saw him was through a photo from Zoey. Today, after she saw him in person, he indeed looked much thinner.The livestream had already reached its midpoint. Xander had signed the cooperation agreement with the partner and was now cutting the ribbon on stage. Many employees were gathered below, looking quite excited.This livestream was highly publicized. The board member of Futurelink being exonerated naturally needed to be widely broadcasted to enh

He was referring to their last meeting, which should not have been discovered.The secretary didn't dare to speak rashly."What's Madam's schedule for today?"In their social class, the roles of husband and wife were implicitly understood—the husband manages external affairs while the wife takes care of family matters and social relationships. This was especially true for someone like his wife.Every circle has its own hierarchy. She belonged to the top tier, addressed as "Madam", surrounded by several second-tier women referred to as "Ladies", with everyone fawning over her.However, due to Winston's extraordinary status, there were occasions when he needed to attend events with his wife. Over time, she gained positions in various foundations and associations."Today, there’s a visit in Pamore. Madam has gone there.""Last time, Hestia mentioned that it was my student who found her, which made her decide to meet me. Who was that student?"The secretary thought for a moment. In

"Apologize for what? It's unnecessary. Mr. Fulton, I can't accept your apology. Take it back."She tried to break free from his strong grip, but her strength was no match for his, and she couldn't escape his embrace.Her packed luggage was nearby. Xander glanced at it and ran his hand through her long hair. "You're leaving. Where are you planning to go?" he asked knowingly. Wherever she went, it wouldn't be to find him."I'm not homeless. I still have work to handle, business trips, and social engagements. I can go anywhere. Isn't managing Futurelink enough for Mr. Fulton? Do you need to manage my life too?"Grace suppressed her anger and was still struggling to break free."Let go of me. You smell terrible."Hearing these words made him loosen his grip. Grace successfully escaped, turned away, and refused to look at him.Xander realized he had a perfume scent on him. He unbuttoned his shirt, took off his jacket, and threw it aside."I originally planned to keep my mother in th

Her tone was full of irritation and impatience, devoid of any former warmth.Xander had an unpleasant expression, but he remained patient. "Hazel mentioned that you're leaving today. I'll take you there.""That's a lot of trouble for Mr. Fulton to come straight from a livestream to pick me up. Is it worth it? Unlike you, who has a clarification statement to back you up, my reputation almost got damaged."Grace was furious. Her shoulders were trembling and her words dripped with sarcasm."Grace." Xander's voice deepened. His patience was nearing its limit.Just then, the doorbell rang. A staff member said, "Ms. Lewis, your clothes have arrived."Xander looked up and stepped aside. Grace took a deep breath and reluctantly headed to the door. She opened it just a crack and took the clothes."You need to be at Emblem Garden by seven at the latest. Don't forget, Ms. Lewis. I'll have someone take you there."Grace said nothing in response.A hand came from behind, closing the door f

He remained silent, his gaze cold and penetrating."I don't know your plans. I don't know your future. I didn't even know you studied computer science. I'm just a pawn that's kept in the dark and moving wherever you want me to go."Grace finally broke down. All the pent-up grievances she felt from these past few days poured out. Her tears seemed to burn his palm and made him frown."On the surface, it seems like you love me, but I feel like a puppet on strings. This isn't fair at all, Xander."Xander felt his anger subside at last. He let her go completely, took a tissue from the table, and wiped her tears. "Alright, don't cry."She gasped for breath. Her posture and the way her dress rode up caused her to reveal more than she intended to. From Xander's perspective, this seemed to ignite his desire.Suppressing his lustful feelings, he helped her sit properly and patiently continuing to wipe her tears."What do you want me to say? You once loved Benjamin, and now you insist on g

While she sat in the car, Grace felt a sense of unease.The driver noticed her discomfort and offered reassurance, "Ms. Lewis, there's no need to worry. Mrs. Jarvis came to Pamore to comfort you. There are three tables at the banquet, and she's very easygoing. She won't make things difficult for you."But that wasn't what Grace was worried about.She glanced at the rearview mirror. Xander's Bentley followed at a moderate distance. He was determined to attend this banquet.Just before they left, he had a hard look on his face and told her sternly, "You'd better think carefully about whether you want to take back what you said."Grace had acted impulsively. Her mind was in turmoil. She touched her lips, which still burned with pain.What a bastard.…Emblem Garden was an exclusive place. Not only did one have to be wealthy, but they also had to be powerful.Grace didn't like such formalities. She preferred straightforward conversations, have a cup of coffee, and get things settl

"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

"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,
