In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 791 As the Abandoned Eldest Son
In fact, it took only one day for the Securities and Exchange Commission to pass the evidence review and issue a certificate, clarifying that Xander was not involved in insider trading.In past cases, even if there was no issue found, the investigations usually uncovered some problems, and the reputation of the person investigated would suffer. Xander came out unscathed, relying on his absolute innocence and the people backing him.When Dexter signed the statement, his boss earnestly advised him, "You know who Mr. Jarvis is. He's your advisor, and you should be aware of his principles. Even with close relationships, as long as there are problems, he will investigate them thoroughly. Isn't his backing of Xander proof enough?"It was precisely because Dexter knew Winston's character and had the evidence in front of him that he agreed to sign and release Xander.However, the depth of Xander's schemes caused him to deeply furrow his brow, and he put down his pen. "Xander is not a simpl

Outside the window, the lake water rippled, and the sound of fish swimming was subtle.Xander's action of flipping through documents paused momentarily. Ultimately, he said no more and changed the subject. "I'm not in a position to show myself right now. Take this, help me find the two people on this business card, and hand these over to them."Shawn took it. "How will Grace be saved?""Benjamin can't come out right now, it’s Joshua who is handling things for him outside, I will use the power of Frenda to find his issues."Shawn asked again, "How will Grace be saved?"Xander suddenly looked up, his tone forceful. "Alexander, she's my girlfriend. Don't worry about things you shouldn't."This was, in a sense, the first face-to-face confrontation they had. It was a declaration of possession.Shawn clenched the edges of the documents, showing no weakness. "I saw her yesterday.""It's only been a few days and she’s lost quite a bit of weight. It's evident she’s anxious, yet even now
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 793 Aaron Arrives
Lydia brought many changes of clothes for Grace. She busied herself with the arrangements, remaining silent with her head bowed."Why so quiet? You don't even talk when you come to see me." Grace stood by, forcing a smile and feeling somewhat uneasy.Tears welled up in Lydia's eyes, falling in large drops. "You’ve never suffered like this. From the moment I met you, you've been the diamond cherished in the palm of the Lewis family. How could you end up as a prisoner?"This reaction frightened Grace, and she hurriedly wiped away Lydia's tears. "I'm fine now, aren't I? I haven't lost any limbs.""You've lost weight."Grace was startled, and the tight feeling in her chest squeezed her. She swallowed her sobs. "Tell everyone not to worry. I haven't done anything, so they can't convict me.""Emily is so angry she wants to take a knife to the Hawkins family."A picture formed in Grace's mind, and she laughed out loud. Lydia joined in. "Aaron is also very worried about you. Your brothe
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 794 This Is Not How You Ask for Favors
"Are there many regulations you have?" Aaron retorted with displeasure.The officials present trembled.Even though this wasn't his home turf, Aaron's commanding presence naturally intimidated them."There are hundreds of projects where Pamore and the Lewis Corporation collaborate. What do you think would happen to Pamore's GDP this year if I pull out the investments and sever these partnerships?"Aaron casually tossed his pen on the table.At that moment, someone knocked on the door, signaling to the head official. "A document has come down from above."Ten minutes later, the official returned, nodding respectfully to Aaron. "Tomorrow morning, you may visit Benjamin."Given the economic impact already caused by the troubles at Hawkins Group and Amirate, Pamore’s GDP would inevitably hit rock bottom if Aaron were to withdraw his investments.Having achieved his objective, Aaron got up and left while surrounded by a group of people.The official finally breathed a sigh of relie
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 795: Buying His Worthless Life
All remaining traces of humor in Aaron's eyes vanished, and it was replaced with an eerie gaze."What would it take for you to take the money and release Grace?"Benjamin's adrenaline heightened. He responded firmly, "I won't take it."He wouldn't take it.At least for now, Aaron had to respect the man's boldness. He adjusted his cuffs calmly and gradually stood up. "So you want her to go to jail.""Aaron, the Lewis family had always been respectable people, with every generation more outstanding than the last. Tell me, what would happen if one of them happened to have been in jail?"Benjamin burst into laughter. He had probably pictured the Lewis family being criticized by the public. "Then, the Lewis family name wouldn't remain untarnished anymore. The Fulton family probably wouldn’t accept Grace either. Even Grace wouldn’t be able to accept this version of herself."Benjamin slowly analyzed the situation. It was as if he'd found the most amusing thing on earth. Leaning ag

"Are you talking about Joshua?" Xander leaned against the desk, passing over a document. "Why were Hawkins' tax issues only exposed now? Why weren't they discovered before? "Benjamin's amusement park project resulted in several deaths, yet the issue was quickly resolved without consequence. This was all because he had powerful support behind him."Aaron quickly skimmed through the document, understanding most of it. "You want to target the person behind him."He had powerful people supporting him. This was something Xander had realized during Jessica's incident. He had been biding his time, waiting for the opportunity to catch a bigger fish. Now with Benjamin walking into the trap, it was a good chance."The second-in-command in Pamore isn’t someone you can just go against." Aaron disagreed."Didn't you hear last night? I've already made my move."Xander, feeling restless, needed something to calm his nerves. He lit another cigarette.Aaron then recalled last night's meeting,
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 797: Applying for Medical Parole
On the fourth day of her detention, Grace met with Luke.Compared to her anxiety the last few days, Grace was now much more composed. "How are things on the outside?""As soon as you were detained, Amirate lost all forms of leadership and fell into complete chaos. Fortunately, Mr. Lewis had arrived in Pamore to take charge and stabilize everything. Curious about your future, there have been all sorts of speculations amongst the public."That was all within her expectations. She tapped her finger lightly on the table and wanted a precise answer. "Has Xander been released?""That... I'm not sure. There are many speculations, but without an official statement, we can’t be certain," Luke responded carefully.Grace changed her approach. "What has Hazel been up to lately?""She has been making trips to the Securities and Exchange Commission for the past few days, but there's been no movement in the last two. Perhaps I haven't been watching closely enough."From his answer, Grace confi
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 798: Only She Became the Victim
Caleb, full of grievances, was about to speak when he heard noise from outside the door.It was Xander returning from outside, although he had only gone down to the lobby to retrieve a document. His steps were steady, his face expressionless, showing a change only upon seeing the Lewis brothers."Mr. Fulton." Hazel approached him first.Caleb immediately turned around, surprised upon seeing him, "Xander? When did you get out?"He had seen recent news and wondered when it happened.Hazel responded, "A couple of days ago, Mr. Caleb. It hasn’t been announced publicly yet."Caleb ignored her. "I was asking him. Are you Xander?"Hazel immediately fell silent.Xander signaled to Hazel and then approached. "It's just been a few days. I've only just been released.""You're okay now?""You could say that."This response triggered Caleb's defiance. He threw his cap aside. "Grace was detained at the airport while trying to retrieve evidence for you.""I know." Xander's expression was
