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

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
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 799: Capture the King First
Hestia arrived in Pamore and was stopped at the airport by a high-ranking official. He spoke respectfully, "Madam Fulton, it's late, and Mr. Jarvis said there aren’t many restaurants that suit your taste. He had a chef prepare some dishes and asked me to deliver them to you."Hestia glanced at the food box in his hand and managed a smile. "Tell him that if he considers me a friend, he needn't bother so much. He should pay more attention to his wife. That's only right. I'm not interested in entering a life of trivial domestic concerns. Please decline it for me."Once a person got married, no matter how wealthy they were, they were bound to deal with mundane household affairs—a truth Hestia had realized early on when she married Raymond.The man left shortly after, embarrassed.Hestia, on behalf of Xander, had returned to the ME Group headquarters to seek help from her contacts. This time, her secretary, Karina, had also come along. Now, Karina spoke up, "Mr. Fulton has escaped dan
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 800: She Changed Her Testimony
"The specifics of that accountant aren't fully in my grasp yet, but she certainly is one of Joshua's people."Joshua and Benjamin conspired against her and Xander, framing her to this point. Grace couldn't help but feel disdainful. "He invested 400 million, and there's a contract. What would happen if he can't make up the funds?""He would be deported, and he would never be able to partner with any domestic company again.""Does he even have that much money?"Luke hesitated before responding, "No, but from what I understand, others are already working toward this.""Aaron?" Grace immediately asked.Luke looked around and wrote a message on a piece of paper, which Grace quickly readIt read, "Xander has most likely been released."Grace took a deep breath. Her thoughts were a mess. Then, she spoke, "Ensure that we keep track of that accountant's movements. I don’t just want Joshua deported. I want him to pay for those Samson lives."Although Luke agreed, he still expressed conc

"But it's all in the past, isn't it?" Samson smiled bitterly. "We still have to live our lives. How will you manage in Pamore if you refuse to make amends? What will you do in the future?"Shawn paused in his steps. Similar advice had been given to him before by Angus and Spencer more than once."Samson, you think I should let go too?" Shawn gestured to his face. "This disfigured face, a ruined future, wasted years—if it were you, could you let it go?"Hearing this, Samson felt a pang of sorrow and shook his head. "I know it's not easy. But it wasn't that the team didn't support you in time back then. We didn't receive the command. The person who gave you the wrong deployment time was dismissed, wasn't he?"He felt that Shawn was torturing himself."I can't get past it." Shawn turned away. "Besides, I am no longer Alexander. I am Shawn now."Samson didn’t know what kind of psychological burden Shawn had been carrying these years. He didn’t expect anyone to understand. As for lett
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 802: Xander Unlocked It
Grace couldn't help but laugh as she dodged back. "Stop it, I'm not cursed.""Just let him do it. He's been worried sick these past few days. He even left his film shoot halfway to come back," Victor said with a smile while trying to calm the situation.Grace's smile faded. "I appreciate everyone's concern. A lot has been done on the outside, hasn't it?""Mostly by Aaron, and…" Victor paused as he remembered the recent events, noting how Xander had been particularly exhausted while working almost around the clock. He carefully added, "And Xander."He had indeed been released.Grace’s expression stiffened slightly. The events of the past days and Jake's words had planted a seed of doubt within her."It's good to know you’re all right." Caleb, ever carefree, tossed the sage leaves aside. "Although you can’t go out yet, I've hired a chef to stay here and cook for you. You’ve lost weight. You don’t look good."Grace chuckled. "I'm not that delicate. I was only detained for a few day

"When is the debut date for the girl group under Amirate?"Luke answered, "In three days. There was a mistake last time, and they couldn't debut, but Ashley has rearranged their schedule.""Then broadcast it in three days."After Grace finished speaking, she scooped up the pudding from the small bowl and ate it.Victor had finished checking, and he carried the computer over to Grace. "Are you really sure it was Xander who cracked it?"The latter looked at the full screen of programs. "Victor…""I'm asking you." Victor was very anxious."Yes."Xander had kept quite a few things from her. Grace felt uncomfortable when she thought about how he knew everything yet pretended to be ignorant. He had watched her make a fool of herself.Having gotten the answer, Victor immediately closed the laptop. "I'll go back for a while."Caleb was surprised and hurriedly followed. "Wait for me. Why are you in such a hurry?"Everyone had left, and Luke also hurried to deal with Amirate's affairs
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 804: A Heart-to-Heart With Grace
Jake ignored her and pressed on, "Do you really have feelings?""Is it so unbelievable?" Grace raised an eyebrow. "My first job after graduation was opening a retail store. Although it was also busy and tiring, at least I was my own boss. Later, I joined Hawkins Group and spent the hardest years there. I learned a lot."Now that the boss has fallen, can't I feel regret?"Without those years at Hawkins Group, she wouldn't have thrived at Amirate.Hawkins Group should have had better development, but those leading it did not do well. Benjamin deserved to die. He even failed his former self.Jake was amused. He put out his cigarette, scoffing lowly."What are you laughing at?""Benjamin is finished. I think his original plan was to frame you and get you imprisoned, then have his backers bail him out. But now, they can't save themselves either. He's trapped by his own scheme."Jake crossed his legs, picking up a banana from the table and eating it with relish."He's stupid, but yo
