In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 10 Her Brother Is Here
"Benjamin?"Yvonne didn't know about the real relationship between Benjamin and Grace. But she had seen enough to be annoyed by Grace's presence. "Just let Ms. Lewis leave. My parents are still waiting for you at home. It's been some time since you last met them. They miss you."Her voice jolted Benjamin out of his thoughts.The Hawkins family owed the Quines a lot, so it was only right that he visited Yvonne's parents.Grace's expression remained impassive even after hearing that.It was as if she didn't care about him anymore.Benjamin felt irritated, and his expression did nothing to hide it."It's right there."Grace followed his gaze and saw her identification card wedged under the water cooler. It seemed as insignificant as Benjamin probably thought of her."Thanks." She swallowed the bitterness she was feeling and picked up her identification card. Then, she turned and walked out without any hesitation.She could almost feel his cold eyes following her as she left.

Inside Hawkins Manor, Benjamin's housekeeper, Patty, was already awaiting their arrival. She took Benjamin's jacket. When she saw Yvonne behind him, she was stunned."Ms. Quine, I've already prepared your room for you. It's just up these stairs."Yvonne paused in front of the elevator and looked at Patty in disbelief. "Am I not sharing a room with Benjamin?"By allowing her to stay at Hawkins Manor, Benjamin had indirectly agreed to marry her.Therefore, it was only right that they share a room.Benjamin frowned at her statement."Um … " Patty didn't dare say anything.Madam Hawkins had been worried that there would be traces of Grace's existence in the house. So she had asked Patty to prepare a guest room for Yvonne."I need to work. You can go and get some sleep," Benjamin said impassively with a directive glance at Patty."But … " As expected, Yvonne was unrelenting. Patty took the hint from Benjamin and stopped Yvvone from following him. "Ms. Quine, please follow me."

Grace woke up in a luxurious room. The decor in the room hadn't changed at all. It looked exactly the way she had left it a few years ago.Turning, she saw a bowl of hot soup on the bedside table. There were a few pretty dresses laid out on the bed for her to choose from as well.It made her want to cry.No one had treated her like this in Pamore.A set of footsteps sounded. A man dressed in all black appeared in her room, exuding confidence and boldness.It was her eldest brother, Aaron Lewis, who had brought her home from Pamore.He was the head of the Lewis family at the moment. Aaron wasn't one to show his emotions easily. "Grandpa was really worried when he heard that something had happened to your plane. When he couldn't call you, he got anxious and had a heart attack. He's still hospitalized now."Grace became frantic with worry when she heard that her grandfather, Harold Lewis, was sick. She got out of bed. "Aaron, how's Grandpa?""He's fine. He's getting all the re

"Why am I the last one to find out that you're home? I can't believe you didn't tell me, Gracie! Was our friendship just a lie?"Grace recognized the voice of her third older brother, Caleb Lewis.Caleb wasn't her biological brother. Her family had adopted him after his parents had abandoned him at birth.Grace didn't look up from her documents. "Take a seat and be quiet. Don't disturb me."It had been three days, and she still needed to get through all the documents Aaron's secretary had given her.In just a day, she had received hundreds of phone calls from various international organizations around the world. She felt flustered.Caleb didn't mind her curtness. He sat down on the couch. "Aaron's being too harsh on you. How does he expect you to get through all of this? He's training you to be his heir, and it's going to be exhausting. "Come with me on my world tour. Think of it as a break.""I don't want to," Grace said as she cleaned up her desk. "Remember the time when

Larry gritted his teeth and called Grace over and over again. Each time, the operator informed him that the line was busy.At one point, Benjamin grabbed his phone just as the call connected. "What is wrong with you? Larry, just tell Benjamin that he's not attending the expo this year," Grace snapped impatiently. The other end of the call was silent.After a while, a deep voice sounded. "It's me."Grace's breath caught when she heard Benjamin.He didn't comment on what she said earlier. Instead, he asked, "Will we be able to join the expo if we increase the sponsorship to 500 million dollars?"At that moment, Grace was sitting in Caleb's luxury sports car. "Benjamin, what are you playing at?"Seeing that she had been buried in work, Caleb had insisted on taking her out on a tour of the city. Grace hadn't been able to talk him out of it and had relented."If 500 million dollars isn't enough, then we'll make it a billion dollars. "And if that's still not enough, then I'm afr

"This ring." Yvonne handed Benjamin a ring. It was a simple ring, but it shone slightly under the light.Benjamin recognized it at first glance. It was the only gift he had given Grace during their three years of marriage.He took the ring and ran his thumb over the inside of the ring, where their initials were inscribed: B & G. He still remembered Grace had asked him to put it on for her. However, he had impatiently replied, "Later."Even so, she had worn it for three years. He had never seen her without it.Yvonne was unhappy to see Benjamin lost in thought as he stared at the ring. Still, she kept a smile on her face. "This looks like an important ring. How could Ms. Lewis have forgotten it? Should we give it back to her, or …""Why should we give it back to her?" Susan immediately chimed in. "That woman looks harmless, but she turned her back on us without warning. She's bad!""I agree." Celia said. "I had a bad feeling about her when she first came here."Benjamin

Benjamin sat in a first-class seat on the plane. He took out the pair of rings that he had instructed his housekeeper to throw away earlier.After some hesitation, he took out the bigger ring and put it on. He had never worn it before. But it fit him perfectly, as if it had been tailored for him.Over the last three years, he had refused to wear it, insisting that it wasn't appropriate for work.Any other wife would have thrown a tantrum at that.However, Grace hadn't. She had been gentle and obedient, indulgent of his every whim.He had never expected her to leave him so suddenly and determinedly. She hadn't even taken her wedding ring with her.Benjamin turned the ring around in his hand, frowning.Gentle and obedient, or determined. What was she really like?When the plane touched down at Darai, Benjamin headed to the offices of Donegan Enterprises. Once he reached, he went straight to the president's office.Timothy squinted at his computer, then picked up the proposal a

"There's no harm in a marriage of convenience as long as you don't interfere with each other," Benjamin said candidly."It's no harm for you since all you want is profit. I'm not like you! "I want to fall in love with my wife at first sight. She should be breathtakingly beautiful and incredibly smart. That's the kind of woman I want to marry." Timothy waved a hand. "You wouldn't understand."Benjamin couldn't argue with him on this. He changed the subject back to the expo. "Is there any way we can solve this?"Timothy patted his chest confidently. "The Donegans and Amirate are collaborating on this. All I need to do is make a call. I'm sure Aaron will do me this favor."He picked up his phone and called Aaron.However, Aaron didn't answer. When Timothy called him again, Aaron rejected the call, clearly implying that he wasn't willing to talk to him.Timothy put his phone awkwardly down, feeling embarrassed. His best friend had asked him for help. He had acted so confidently

"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,
