Semua Bab In the Lap of Luxury: Bab 41 - Bab 50

The stench of cigarettes overwhelmed Grace so much that she instinctively scooted over to the next seat to put some distance between herself and Cameron.When she looked up, she could see the yellow plaque on Cameron’s teeth. It made her want to throw up. Middle-aged men looked fine from afar, but she didn’t think they would be this disgusting in reality."What do you mean by that? Are you refusing to let me leave?" She held her breath as much as possible, not wanting to even breathe the same air as Cameron did."Getting together with the president of Amirate Corporation right after divorcing Mr. Hawkins? Bringing us to heel the moment you came back to Pamore? Impressive, Ms. Lewis."Grace raised an eyebrow, mockery dripping from her voice as she said, "Did you take me here just to praise me?""Of course not. I just wanted to know what it would be like to bed someone Benjamin Hawkins had slept with before." Cameron smiled with obvious lust, staring at Grace the whole time.A

After closing the door behind Grace, Cameron began stripping hastily."Don't worry, Ms. Lewis. After tonight, I'll tell you everything I know about Barnes Group. You'll be sure to make it big at Amirate," he said.He was drooling so hard that his spit almost hit the floor as he glanced at the hidden camera on the bed's headrest.Why would he be satisfied with just sex? He needed to capture the moment and savor it whenever he wanted. He would have sex with all the women those big shots had slept with before. If he was unhappy in the future, he would have plenty of blackmail material to extort Grace.Impatient beyond belief, he stripped naked and pounced on Grace. But the next thing he knew, she picked up a bottle of red wine and smashed it on his head.Cameron was stunned. When he reached up to touch his wound, his hand became covered in blood. He screamed, "You bitch! How dare you hit me?" He rushed forward, swinging his fists, but Grace subdued him with just one hand.With

Grace casually sat down and smirked. "Getting discharged after just one night in the hospital? You sure are a tough guy, Mr. Luther.""You flatter me, Ms. Lewis. I was just worried my absence would affect the company's performance."Cameron's head was still bandaged, and he was actually wearing a patient's attire underneath. Still, he spoke up with an embarrassed expression."Also, I forgot to tell you about Barnes Group, so I quickly came back."Grace nodded toward the couch, motioning for him to sit. This man really needed a beating. He had refused to talk when she asked nicely, but here he was offering the information on his own after he had gotten beaten up."Barnes just announced the completion of their nanobots project. It's a perfect match for Amirate's medical development project."Grace's gaze turned irritated, and she massaged her temples before replying harshly, "Tell me something useful or get out."Cameron started shaking. He knew she was the real deal, not just s

That night, Grace and Emily met up to collect something she had bought from a luxury store. When they entered the store, a staff member immediately recognized Grace and got their manager to attend to them.The manager smiled and said, "One moment, Ms. Lewis. The jewelry you purchased is so valuable that we still have it in the safe. It will take us some time to collect it."He offered, "Why don't we browse the other items while we wait?" Grace shook her head. "It's fine. We can browse them ourselves." After walking around the store with Grace, Emily said excitedly, "Babe, there's not a lot of pretty clothes on the first floor. Let's go to the second one."She tried to take Grace upstairs, but the manager stopped them with a conflicted face. "I'm sorry, but the second floor has been cleared out by some ladies. You can't enter."Grace smiled at the manager. "It's alright. We'll leave after we get my order."The manager thanked her gratefully. It was so rare to see a rich but

"Ms. Lewis, you sure are pretty skilled at riding."Albert praised Grace, and his gaze was sincere with no intent to offend.Grace glanced briefly at Benjamin, who was standing beside them. She turned to Albert and said, "Mr. Barnes, could we find a place to talk alone?"Barnes Group was a company that focused on core technology development.In the five years since its establishment, it had developed countless innovative, intelligent bionic robots, and it had received praise from various fields. This time, the nanorobot technology was an unprecedented technological breakthrough and could potentially solve historically difficult problems in medical care. That was why Grace had wanted to negotiate this collaboration after she had taken up her new post at Amirate. Benjamin's gaze darkened, and he sounded displeased. "Barnes Group has already signed a contract with Hawkins Group. What is there that cannot be spoken about openly?"His gaze never left Grace. From the moment she ha
