In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 35 Fined and Jailed
"Benjamin, why are you negotiating with that unlucky jinx?" Susan grabbed Benjamin's arm. She had never seen him speak so humbly or so open to discussing things with Grace.Besides, Grace had always the one to follow their orders. Why had things changed?She marched over to Grace with an arrogant expression and tone. "So what if we're slandering you? What reputation do you even have? "You didn't say anything back when our family was yelling at you!" Susan screeched.But when she noticed Benjamin's expression fall, she realized her mistake.She had just exposed her attitude toward Grace for the past three years.Aaron couldn't take it anymore and glanced at Grace from the side."This is the mother-in-law and sister-in-law you've taken care of for the past three years? What kind of people have you been serving?" he asked.Then he remembered his sister's embarrassment and composed himself. "It's your choice, but if you end up embarrassing the family, I'll hold you responsible."

At that moment, the police showed up and walked over once they confirmed who they were supposed to arrest. "Celia Hawkins, Yvonne Quine, please come with us," a police officer said.Susan quickly tried to stop them when she realized they were going to take Celia and Yvonne away.However, she accidentally tripped over her dress instead. She fell and hit her head, passing out instantly.The police took Celia and Yvonne away while Benjamin carried an unconscious Susan out, bringing the whole fiasco to an end.Now that the ones who should have left were gone, Aaron took Grace to the center of the hall before introducing her."Good evening, everyone. Ms. Grace Lewis has already quit her position as secretary to the president of Hawkins Group."She is now the general manager of Amirate Corporation's Pamore branch. I hope we'll get to work together in the future." Aaron said.He had barely finished talking when the crowd started to whisper amongst themselves."Ms. Lewis sure rises t
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 37 Past Crimes Exposed
On the other hand, the Hawkins family was in a gloomy state. Benjamin was sitting on the couch with a stormy look, and he hadn't said a word in ages. He had just come back from the police station after bailing Yvonne out. He had paid for the boutique's damages, but Grace had insisted on pressing charges because the damage had been too much. Celia was probably going to jail. Benjamin's lawyer estimated her sentence would last at least three years.Susan had just woken up. When she heard that her daughter was going to jail for at least three years, she was shocked."Listen to me, Benjamin! Your sister cannot go to prison!" Susan said shakily, in disbelief. "She's so young, she can't spend her days with those criminals. She would lose her mind!"Son, can't you go talk to Grace? If push came to shove, all you have to do is play nice and let her feel good for a few days, just enough to agree to settling out of court, okay?" she asked.Her tone was almost pleading. It seemed li
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 38 Seeing Her Again
"Larry has already contacted a hospital in Frenda. You'll leave for Frenda in three days."Yvonne was reluctant to go abroad. She begged him softly, "I don't want to go, Benjamin. I want to stay here with you and the baby."Benjamin's expression never changed. He didn't budge, so Yvonne grabbed his arm and started crying."Even if you won't do it for the baby, do it for my sister, Danielle. She only died because of her association with your family. You can't do this to me …""I know we were responsible for her death, but you still need to leave."Yvonne slumped onto the couch in response. Benjamin was feeling suffocated under the weight of the sins that had been committed in his house. Just then, Timothy's call came right on time."Bro, have you checked social media?" Timothy asked on the other end. At first, Benjamin thought he was talking about the article that had insulted Grace, so he said, "That's fake news. The police have already asked to take it down.""Are we even t
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 39 Must Be Nice
It was her. The interesting lady he had met on the roof. Timothy stopped and stared. The woman's drawl was ringing out throughout the bar, and she was singing a popular blues song called "Pretty and Young".She sat there on a stool with the spotlight on her beautiful face, swaying as her red lips sang a song that took the audience on a nostalgic journey.As Timothy listened, he remembered seeing Grace crying on the roof. That night, her teary eyes had added a touch of sadness to her beauty, a look that could break many hearts. Timothy didn't realize how much he was staring.His thoughts got further and further away from him. Meanwhile, Emily yelled from beneath the stage. "That's too sad, babe! I'm about to cry! Put on something happier!" Grace winked at her best friend. "No problem, I'm on it." After that, she began singing "Party in the House".As she sang, she smiled cheerfully, and her feet danced to the beat. It made her look as cheeky as the lyrics sounded.The song
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 40 Unrequited Love
Her phone buzzed. When she looked at it, she saw a text from Caleb. It read, "Did you miss me, Gracie? Your beloved brother, Caleb, misses you so much! See you in Frenda!" Grace shuddered before replying, "No." After sending that text, she told her assistant, "Just collect the roses for me and give them out to the ladies in our company.""Alright." The assistant turned and left. Grace continued to read documents until Cameron walked in."Good afternoon, Ms. Lewis." Cameron handed her a file, a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes. "This is our profit and loss statement for the month."Grace didn't take the file. Instead, she simply gave Cameron a blank stare. "Is there something you want to say, Mr. Luther?"Then, she glanced at the document in Cameron's hand. "You could have just given this to my assistant. Why go to all this trouble?"Cameron's smile widened, and he pretended to be nervous. "You see, Ms. Lewis, I wanted to apologize for being unable to recognize you du
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 41 She Actually Got a Hotel Room
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
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 42 What Can You Get
That rage made Benjamin shoot to his feet and follow the two out of the restaurant.Frederick caught up to him. "I told you! There’s no way a man and a woman would meet at such an expensive restaurant and not head to a hotel afterward."Then, he patted Benjamin’s shoulder. "Buddy, forget about it. You already know she's a promiscuous person, anyway."However, Benjamin smacked Frederick's hand away and marched toward the hotel, unable to control himself.It hadn't been long since they had gotten divorced. Yet not only had she gotten together with Aaraon from Amirate Corporation, but she was sleeping with her colleague too.Had Grace changed, or had she always been like this?When the elevator doors opened, Cameron stepped inside first. Grace was about to go in when a strong hand gripped her wrist."We need to talk," a low voice said.When Grace looked up and saw who it was, she scoffed. "You sure have a lot of time on your hands, Mr. Hawkins," she said in an aloof tone. "I'm
