In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 19 Return the Pain Twofold
There were too many people on Emily's side, and Yvonne was mortified by the confrontation. She backed away instinctively, trying to distance herself from Celia.Grace swirled her champagne and turned back to them. "Your sister-in-law's in trouble. Are you not going to stand up for her?" she taunted coldly."What are you guys doing over there?" An angry voice echoed.The crowd parted to reveal Benjamin, who was striding toward them with a dark expression.He saw Grace immediately.It had been some time since they had last met. She had put on a little weight and looked healthier—better, at least, than how she had looked when she had been with him.Her smile was almost as bright as the spotlights overhead. Her tailored dress complemented her complexion, making her look like a different woman. He couldn't take his eyes off her.When Celia saw her brother, she regained her courage and pointed at Grace and Emily. "Benjamin, they're bullying us!"Benjamin looked around, taking in
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 20 I Won't Make the Same Mistake Again
Benjamin's eyes were frigid. He'd never seen Grace like this before. Ever since the divorce, she had been acting more and more irrationally. "How can you hurt a pregnant woman? I thought you were better than this."Grace raised an eyebrow and said offhandedly, "You were wrong. I've always been like this."She didn't bother explaining anything to him."Are you done?" she said coldly. "If you're done, get lost.""Watch your attitude, Grace," Benjamin said, his expression tight with anger."What, are you expecting me to grovel in front of you?" Grace scoffed. "In your fucking dreams.""Benjamin, it hurts," Yvonne cried softly. Benjamin looked at her. Tears were sliding down her reddened face. Her face was pale as she put a protective hand over her stomach. She looked like she was about to faint any minute.Benjamin frowned. "I'll take you to the hospital."He picked her up. The crowd parted, leaving him a path toward the door.Benjamin took a few steps, then turned to G
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 21 Much Ado About an Assistant
Benjamin's text was just as overbearing as the man himself. "What happened today was Celia's fault. She will apologize to you, but you have to apologize to Yvonne as well!"Grace was furious. "What a fucking asshat. Does he have shit in his head instead of a brain?" she cursed as she blocked his contact.Emily smirked at her. "Babe, you're going to the auction with Aaron tomorrow, right? I'll choose your outfit for you. Let me see your closet," she begged."No problem. Pick whatever you want," Grace said.As soon as she pushed open the closet door, Emily exclaimed, "Wow, this is huge! It's even bigger than our boutique in Pamore!"Grace's closet extended three floors below her room. It was filled with all sorts of jewelry and clothes from luxury brands.Aaron had renovated it especially for her when she came back. It had only been completed yesterday."I thought my closet was big enough. Yours takes the cake," Emily said, staring at all the colorful clothes.Grace took a dres
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
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 23 Everyone Loves Pretty Things
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
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 24 Are You Blind
"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
