All Chapters of In the Lap of Luxury: Chapter 571 - Chapter 580

Luke stood on the balcony. He watched Quentin drive away before returning to the private room. Inside, Grace was on a call. Her tone was much softer compared to earlier. "Xander, based on what he just said, do you think he's guilty of something?" Her phone screen showed that the call duration was 30 minutes. Xander chuckled on the other end of the line. "You don't know if he's actually done anything." "I don't, but my bluff worked. It seems I've actually hit the nail on the head." "People who haven't done wrong have a clear conscience. His response clearly indicates there's something fishy," Xander said. "Keep an eye out for what happens next. If Quentin stops working on the Eastwood property after this, it's confirmed he is indeed involved in shady business." Grace's eyes lit up as she smiled. "I was thinking the same thing."If she wasn't right, she would just think of meeting Quentin as making a new connection. That wasn't a loss, either. "But if it's true, why wo

Grace replied, "Don't worry, everything's fine."She couldn't see how tightly Xander was holding onto his phone on the other side. When he saw her message, he finally relaxed slightly.Hazel rushed in. "Mr. Fulton, the secretariat office just told me that you want to book a flight ticket to Pamore!"Xander put his phone down and said calmly, "Everything's fine now. You can cancel it."Hazel was startled, but then she noticed the sheen of sweat on Xander's forehead. The veins throbbing on his forehead were slowly subsiding. The image of Grace rose up unbidden in her mind, and she nodded silently. Then she said, "Something's happened to Jake."Xander's eyes were as sharp as daggers. "What?""While he was monitoring the work in Linden City, there was an explosion on site at night. He was affected and was sent to the hospital urgently."Xander stood up and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling windows. "What was the cause of the explosion?""The workers hadn't stored the materials

Enthusiastic applause rang out in the conference room. Outside the door, Samuel snorted as he walked away. "She sure thinks she's smart!"His subordinate followed him. "It won't be that easy. The e-commerce industry has already been divided between a few shopping platforms. It won't be easy for Byte Technologies to take a piece of the pie."Samuel thought so too, but he couldn't help but feel worried by Grace's confidence. "What if she succeeds?""Director Walker, at the previous gathering, the chairman of Dealer already said that their platform wouldn't give Byte Technologies any discounts. "They are competitors, and consumers aren't dumb. The winner will be the one who provides the most discounts!" said Samuel's assistant. He had been working with Samuel for over ten years. The two of them were around the same age, and both of them disliked how young people worked. Samuel felt reassured by his assistant's words. Just then, he looked up to see Caleb getting out of the ele

The housekeeper looked confused as she waited for Luke's answer.Grace had sharp eyes and caught a man's figure appear on the balcony upstairs. "Sir, I'm here to see you."The man frowned. It seemed as if he had planned to hide. But since she had discovered him, he was forced to face them."Let them in, Martha."The villa's interior had a vintage style, and its garden had many plants and flowers. The man came downstairs. He was about six feet tall and wore a mask and a hat. He looked like a celebrity.Grace gestured for Luke to put the gifts down. "Please accept these gifts. It's not an extravagant one. It's just for your health."The man glanced at it. Every one of the gifts she had given him cost more than a thousand dollars, yet she had said that they weren't expensive at all."You shouldn't have. I don't need this."Grace felt rather awkward when she saw that the man had no intention of inviting her to sit down. "You saved me, and these gifts are only a simple expression

Grace was surprised. "I couldn't tell."Caleb smiled bitterly. "Of course you couldn't. I wasn't even sure about what I wanted."He still remembered how things had been when he had lived at Lewis Residence. On the outside, he had always been energetic and optimistic, and everyone liked him. But the truth was that he had always felt like he was walking on eggshells because he was adopted.On one of his birthdays, Harold had given him the exact same present as the previous year. Caleb had suppressed his disappointment and exclaimed that he really liked it. He had even given Harold a big hug, and everyone had been happy.Lydia had been a guest there too. When the party had ended, she had given her gift to Caleb and said softly, "I know that you didn't really like that gift. I also know why you didn't say anything. "Happy birthday. I hope that you will be able to express your emotions honestly in the future."Caleb had been stunned. Then he had watched Lydia's slender, obstinate f
