All Chapters of In the Lap of Luxury: Chapter 531 - Chapter 540

"Because you treated me to it." "Xander, that's just silly!" She thought of that scene and couldn't help but laugh. Seeing her smile, Xander asked, "Still nervous?" Grace shook her head. "Not anymore." But as she laughed, she suddenly felt something was off. Why had Xander done that back then? Just as she was about to ask, she caught his serious look, and she suddenly realized something. Her smile ceased, and a blush crept onto her face. Great, now she was even more nervous. "What ... what time is it now?" "10:00 pm. I've asked the maids to prepare a late-night snack for you when you get back."The conference room door opened, and Eric and the others filed out. Grace had been crouching for too long, and her legs were numb. So Xander helped her stand. "Congratulations, Ms. Lewis. Byte Technologies' e-commerce entry into the international market has been approved." Everyone was stunned and found it hard to believe. "It has been approved?" Grace whispered. "Yes.

"What about Jake? What do you plan to do about him?" "I'll take over Fulton Group." Hestia slowly put her hands down. "Don't let Grace know about this. She shouldn't get involved in these matters." Xander swallowed hard. After Hestia left, he slowly looked up and met Grace's eyes. Grace instinctively evaded his gaze. "Xander, have you decided to return to Fulton Group?" she asked softly. Xander tried to keep his smile casual. "Why? Do you think I can't handle it?" "Of course not! I'm just worried you might be targeted." "I've fallen for it once. It won't happen again!" Xander's face turned dark and cold, scaring Grace a bit. Grace pursed her lips, then mustered the courage to hook his little finger. "Xander, I visited Fulton Group when I was little, but I've forgotten what it's like now. I want to see it." Xander frowned slightly and asked, "You want to go?" Grace nodded and said, "I had Luke reschedule my flight for tomorrow afternoon. Can I visit your office i

At that moment, Raymond spoke sternly, "Alright, Jake. Sit down." Caught between a rock and a hard place, Jake glared at Grace fiercely before reluctantly sitting down. Grace made a timely exit, and as she closed the door, she heard Raymond say, "Let's do as Xander suggested. You'll handle this project. Go and do some field investigation in Linden City first." Jake's gaze was burning. He was clearly unwilling, but he had no choice but to grab the cup in front of him and take a gulp. Grace left with a satisfied smile and hurried toward the elevator. The assistant from before caught up to her. "Ms. Lewis, you didn't do anything, did you?"Grace spread her hands and asked, "What could I possibly do? Alright, I'm leaving now. See you next time." Her smile was clearly mischievous. Just as Grace entered the elevator, Jake rushed out of the meeting room in a panic, clutching his stomach and desperately looking for a restroom. He looked utterly disheveled. As the meeting dispe

Jessica was wearing heavy makeup today. It made her look very vicious as she smirked. "The collaboration between Amirate Corporation and Byte Technologies is set in stone now. We're approaching the fourth quarter of the year now. Benjamin, will you help me?" Benjamin smoked from across her. His gaze fixed on Grace, never wavering. She seemed very happy today, exuding a relaxed air, far from her cautious self when she was around him. "Help you with what?" he asked, disinterested."I can't let Grace succeed in this collaboration," Jessica stated firmly. Benjamin scoffed upon hearing this. "Why, Danielle? What makes you think you can sabotage her deal? I told you, I won't let you touch her." Jessica raised an eyebrow and mocked, "You're quite the knight in shining armor. I never noticed that before. "You might like her, but it's clear she detests you! Since that's the case, why not join me?"Benjamin rubbed his temples and took a big swig of his drink. "If you don't have

Matthew looked up and asked, "Ms. Lewis, why are you here?" "As your partner, isn't it normal for me to check in?" He rubbed his temples and said, "I'm sorry that my personal issues have affected Amirate Corporation." "It's too late for apologies now. Is the child really yours?" Grace sat down. "Yes. I was indeed in a relationship with Willow for a few years, but due to personal reasons, it didn't work out. She didn't tell me about the pregnancy until after the child was born." Grace understood. Willow had taken advantage of the situation. She had secured herself a home while finding lifelong support using the child. "What about your wife's reaction to her?" "It's nothing new for people like us, Ms. Lewis. She doesn't care." Indeed, in a marriage of convenience, such things were often overlooked as long as they didn't affect personal interests. "Maybe she didn't care before, but now ..." Matthew's expression froze."Is it possible your wife orchestrated this?"
