Grace was surprised. She hadn't expected all these things to be happening behind the scenes."But from what I saw just now, you and Mr. Fulton don't seem to be on good terms?" Dexter asked with a hint of sarcasm.He wasn't usually interested in prying into others' personal lives, but this case seemed far from over, making him curious about what they were planning. That's why he agreed to meet Grace today.Grace suddenly laughed.Dexter looked puzzled, his seriousness fading. "What's so funny?""I'm laughing at how smart Mr. Hamilton is. I should have met you sooner. If I had met you last time, I wouldn't have been taken advantage of.""What do you mean?""Some things are better left unsaid, but if Mr. Hamilton likes to investigate, why not give it a try? Maybe the clues I provide can be of great help."Grace left it at that and stood up. "Please tell Mrs. Jarvis I had to leave early. I look forward to our next meeting."As she walked out of Emblem Garden and into a corridor, a

Xander's expression seemed to resemble still water. He didn't answer her but opened the car door. "Get in."Grace had been sent by staff and didn't have her car. She couldn't argue with him with so many people around and got in silently.The driver raised the partition, cutting off all sound."What did he want?" Xander frowned.Grace's vision was blurry, and she was still angry. "Nothing.""The way he looked at you wasn't right. Do you want me to investigate, or will you tell me yourself?"He had noticed it early on but had refrained from acting out in front of others.Grace knew well that he never failed to uncover anything. She leaned back in the seat. "Dexter thinks highly of me and had his secretary chase me to arrange our next meeting."As soon as she finished speaking, her arm was yanked painfully. He pulled her onto his lap, forcing her legs apart.Xander made her look at him. "Liar.""Does Mr. Fulton trust me to go on a blind date with another man, or do you not belie
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 821 Exposing Celia
After a busy evening, Grace was indeed exhausted. As she walked through the door, guided by the housekeepers, she looked up. She saw Victor standing by the window, seemingly deep in thought."Victor?"Victor wasn't surprised to hear her. "He brought you back?"The car lights were very bright, and he had seen the whole exchange.Grace felt a bit uneasy and stared at her toes. "Things between us have gotten complicated."Victor walked up to her, gently tucking her stray hair behind her ear, and said in a low voice, "It's not you two that are complicated. It's Xander. If he can hide one thing from you, there will be many more. You need to see it clearly and decide if you want to continue."His attitude toward Xander was completely different from before, which surprised Grace. "Victor, did something happen?"Victor frowned, remembering the day he had left Grace and gone straight to the hotel to confront Xander.He had leaned on the desk, demanding answers. "How could you possibly c

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,

"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.

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

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

"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
