In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 85 Engaged
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

"I'll explain it to the public," Benjamin said, then decisively left.The moment he left, Richard threw his cup at the door.He took a deep breath before making a call. "I need you to do something. Make it clean.""Grace Lewis." His eyes shone with ruthlessness. "Let me teach you a lesson and let you know the power of the Quine family in Pamore."…A week later, it was time for Amirate's meeting with Barnes Group to discuss software updates.Grace and Luke went together.This time, the other directors of Barnes Group would also attend the meeting. They were going to discuss further technological innovations.As they entered the conference room, Grace noticed the tense atmosphere. Albert and Benjamin were sitting there in silence."Why the serious look, Mr. Barnes?" she asked after putting down her bag.Without a word, Albert crossed his hands on the table. His once cheerful eyes now showed clear frustration.He turned to Nicole and said, "Explain the situation to Ms. Lewis."

Albert had the same doubts as Nicole. "Are you joking, Ms. Lewis? Perhaps while we're talking, a hacker has already cracked it.""Trust me. That won't happen." Grace confidently leaned back in her chair and whispered to Luke, "Is he here yet?""He'll be here in ten minutes," Luke replied.Smiling, Grace exuded confidence. "Everyone, just follow me downstairs to meet someone."Everyone in the room was puzzled and even thought that she was kidding."Are you really asking everyone here to welcome someone at a time like this?""Doesn't she understand how serious the situation is now?""This is ridiculous!"Grace paid no attention to these comments. As she stood up, she told everyone present, "Don't regret it."Suddenly, Benjamin stood up. "I'll go with you."Though Albert felt uneasy, he had no choice but to follow the two major shareholders.With the president following along, how could the others stay behind? Naturally, the directors followed suit.With Grace in the lead, a l

"Am I right, Ms. Pate?" Grace looked at Nicole with a faint smile.At being suddenly called out, Nicole smiled awkwardly. "You're right, Ms. Lewis."As Grace fidgeted with her blue diamond ring on her finger, she looked at Nicole with a sharp gaze. "Why did you come in so late, Ms. Pate?""Me?" Nicole pointed at herself. "I went to the restroom. Can't I attend to my nature calls?""I'm afraid it's not as simple as a restroom break." Grace took the documents Luke handed her and threw them all in front of Nicole."Weren't you informing your men who were bottom-fishing Barnes' stock to stop?"Albert picked up the documents. He only read one page and immediately realized what she meant.His voice became notably lower, like the calm before a storm. "Ms. Pate, please explain."Although there was a dense mass of documents in front of her, Nicole hadn't even looked at them.She was growing anxious, for she couldn't believe that Grace had discovered her secret moves.Grace smiled. "Th

"That's none of your business," Benjamin said coldly."My crisis has been resolved, but I had to make some sacrifices." Albert handed a bottle of water to Benjamin. "What about you? I heard you're about to get engaged.""I haven't decided yet."Benjamin pushed away the bottle of water and left.…On the way back, Victor suddenly asked, "Was the one who spoke up for you Benjamin?"Grace was annoyed at his words. "He wasn't speaking up for me. He invested in the project too!""Well, he's not bad-looking. But since he's not interested in women, he's not suitable for you. It's good that you divorced him." He nodded.Speechless, she thought, "His mouth is really …""Yes, you're right. That's why I divorced him."Back then when she had married Benjamin, Victor had been far away across the ocean, unable to travel back due to his responsibilities.To check Grace's husband's character, he had secretly hacked into Benjamin's computer and thoroughly checked it. Surprisingly, he had fou

Grace opened the door and stepped out of the car"It's been a while since I had a good stretch." She scanned the group of men in front of her. "Are you coming together, or one by one?"The group of burly men with knives were eager to fight her. They looked at their unconscious buddy in the bushes and then inside the car. When they realized that there was just one person, they let down their guard.Just then, the tattooed man with a cigarette approached Grace."You can see it yourself. We've got the numbers. Hand over the thumb ring, and we'll go easy on you."Grace scoffed. "I see. Richard sent you.""Stop talking, bitch. Are you handing it over or not?"Grace swiftly snatched the cigarette from his mouth and extinguished it on his forehead, followed by a side kick that sent him flying.Sternly, she said, "You're the one talking too much. I'll deal with you first.""Damn it, you dare hit me?" The tattooed man got up from the ground and spat out the teeth that had been knocke

Noticing the tense atmosphere, Aaron tried to defuse it by asking Caleb, "Even if Grandpa didn't ask you to come back, will you dare not come?""Of course not. It's Grandpa's birthday. I have to be there." Caleb didn't dare lift his head after being scolded.Suddenly, Grace chuckled, Only Aaron and Harold could control Caleb.By this point, Harold's anger had subsided."Assist Gracie well in the nanorobots project," he instructed Victor."Oh, Grandpa, you don't need to remind Victor. He'll do his best." Smiling, Grace embraced her two brothers.Victor responded nonchalantly, "Of course."Seeing Grace so dedicated to her career, Harold felt at ease."Grandpa needs to rest. We'll talk next time," Aaron said.The family then ended the video call.…In the living room, Richard was leisurely sipping tea while waiting for good news.Habitually, he rubbed his thumb and remembered that his diamond thumb ring was still missing.His mood soured, but the thought of getting it back so

"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,
