In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 22 Trying to Flaunt Your Wealth
Grace looked stunning today.Her long hair fell over her shoulders. Dressed in a luxurious gown that had never been seen on the market before, she was even more dazzling in the crowd.No one could take their eyes off her.Slowly, she made her way toward Benjamin.Benjamin watched her, his eyes dark with an unidentifiable emotion.Grace was no longer the woman he remembered. She used to be gentle and demure. Now, she was confident and beautiful.She had changed."Mr. Hawkins, you are relentless, I see." Grace walked up to Benjamin and spoke with a mocking smile."Where's your boss?" Benjamin asked coldly.Grace laughed. "As you can see, I'm alone. Disappointed?"So he had set his sights on Aaron since his dumb texts to her hadn't worked.Well, he would have to get through her first!Benjamin's expression darkened when he realized that his plans had been discovered. It didn't help that Grace was clearly laughing at him.The organizer of the auction came up to them, smiling w

The staff at the auction moved quickly. During a short break, they brought the bracelet to Yvonne and stood there, waiting for her to write them a check.Before the auction, every attendee had to declare their respective companies. So if they backed out after winning a bid, the auction's organizer would sue their company.Yvonne signed the check with a trembling hand.A few rows behind her, Timothy looked amused. "Today is my lucky day. How rare to encounter a rich fool."The bracelet was only worth 300 thousand dollars at most. He had been scammed by the jeweler and bought it for 500 thousand dollars as a gift for his mother. But she hadn't liked it, so she made him sell it at the auction.Then again …His gaze landed on Grace, who had bid on the bracelet as well. She was beautiful. He knew how to appreciate good looks.Especially since she was also interesting.Timothy's curiosity was piqued."She looks familiar. Who's she?" he asked the president of HB Group, who was sitt

"Why are you asking? And why should I tell you?" Grace stood up calmly and gave Benjamin a disdainful look.All of a sudden, Benjamin remembered that they were divorced. He had no right to question Grace about her relationships any more.The thought of her in another man's arms made him uncomfortable. She used to be his and should still be his. This sense of possessiveness came out of nowhere."Why did we get divorced?" he asked coldly.Grace smiled coldly. "It's been so long. What's the use of asking about this now?" Meeting his gaze, she said firmly, "I divorced you because I had had enough of you!""Why weren't you satisfied? For the past three years, I have given you everything, from the clothes you wore to the food you ate. "I even gave you an important position in my company. How's that any different from your life right now?" Benjamin paused, remembering how Grace had seduced him the day before she asked for a divorce. "Is it because I didn't have sex with you?"
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 25 He Would Get Her
Grace clenched her fists tightly, trying to stop herself from hitting him.This was the man Aaron wanted her to marry—the playboy of the Donegan family, Timothy Donegan.If it had just been the arranged marriage, Grace wouldn't have been so angry. Her biggest problem with him was that he had been spreading rumors that she was ugly since he was five years old. In fact, he had sworn that he would never marry her.As if she wanted to marry him!If Donald hadn't been her father's mentor, she would have taught Timothy a lesson through violence.Timothy was still blathering on, oblivious to the change in Grace's attitude. He had no idea that she was the Grace Lewis he knew. "Can I get your contact number—"Before he could finish, Grace threw the handkerchief in his face. He grabbed it. When he looked up again, she had already walked far away.Timothy watched as she strode away, confused.What was wrong with her? Had he said something wrong? He stood there, damp handkerchief i
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 26 Grace Would Be a Good Daughter-In-Law
Soon, Aaron appeared in the living room.He greeted Donald first before going up to Benjamin.Aaron and Benjamin shared the same domineering demeanor. But since Benjamin was here to ask Aaron for a favor, he was a little more reserved."Mr. Lewis. Your reputation precedes you.""Likewise, Mr. Hawkins."When they shook hands, Benjamin could feel the animosity emanating from the man before him. He didn't know why.Donald was dressed in a classic white suit. His smile was as kindly as ever. Yet, his eyes, wrinkled as they were, shone with the shrewdness typical of a businessman."Aaron, I'm here because of Darai Medical Expo," he began cheerfully. "I heard that Hawkins Group has been barred from participating. Is there some kind of misunderstanding there?"Aaron glanced at Benjamin coldly. "No, there isn't. Hawkins Group just isn't a suitable participant where Amirate is concerned.""We're willing to add more money to our sponsorship. I hope that's good enough for you to recons

"Grace is going to Pamore?" Donald was visibly excited to hear that. "If she's going back, then should we talk about the arranged marriage between our two families?"Aaron wasn't as excited as Donald about this. "It will depend on the two of them. They're the ones getting married, after all."Donald understood what Aaron meant.He knew his son. Donald had had Timothy late in life, so he had spoiled him. Even though Timothy was a decent president for Donegan Enterprises, his personal life was a mess. From drinking to hooking up, he had accumulated some really bad habits. He was a far cry from the ideal son-in-law the Lewis family was looking for. Grace was the only daughter of the Lewis family, so naturally, they were all protective of her. Her brothers wouldn't allow her to marry a playboy like Timothy.Donald had met Grace before. She was pretty and kind. She would be a great daughter-in-law.It looked like he would have to send Timothy to Pamore as well and make sure tha

"Since she's so intent on getting divorced, then so be it!" Benjamin raised his voice, anger surging inside him. "Call the lawyer and set an appointment at City Hall."Larry didn't dare hang up yet. "Mr. Hawkins, she said she wants the divorce settled as soon as possible, so they're willing to accommodate our timing."Hearing this, Benjamin threw his phone onto the ground without bothering to hang up. He put a hand on his forehead, feeling his headache intensify. "You're a cruel woman, Grace!"…Over at Amirate's office in Pamore, Grace pushed open the door to the meeting room. She walked up to the executives with Emily.With their friendship repaired, Emily had decided not to return to Frenda. She wanted to help Grace with her career while handling their boutique on the side.Grace introduced herself and Emily. "Hello, everyone.
