IN THE LAP OF LUXURY BY UNSWEETENED CHESTNUTS - Season 2 Episode 31

Celia spoke agitatedly, but Grace merely smiled lightly and asked, “Do you think I need to climb the

social ladder?”

It was a simple but lethal sentence.

“She’s the heiress of the Lewis family, one of the richest families in the world. She’s also the current

president of Amirate Corporation…” Celia’s lackey said sourly.

With that kind of family background, Grace was in a league of her own.

If there was going to be any social climbing, Grace had set the standard people aspired to be!

Celia’s expression darkened at once.

Grace looked at her with a smile playing on her lips. Immediately after that, she said, “It looks like

there’s someone else who’s trying to climb up the social ladder. However, it might not be that easy.”

Celia burst out in anger. “Grace, you were abandoned by my brother. You have no right to talk

nonsense here. Watch out, or I’ll rip your mouth apart.”

Grace was impassive as she watched Celia get mad. In her eyes, Celia was a complete and utter

clown.

“Celia, be quiet!” Benjamin suddenly appeared and stopped her.

Celia had never imagined that Benjamin would continue to protect Grace to this day. She was

extremely jealous.

“Ben!”

Benjamin’s gaze swept over her, and she shut up immediately.

His eyes settled on Grace, but her expression was indifferent and distant. He was about to say

something when the lights in the hall dimmed.

“What’s going on?”

The crowd was filled with curiosity, and the noisy hall quietened down immediately.

“We warmly welcome everyone to Futurelink Corporation’s opening reception.” An emcee appeared on

the stage and captured everyone’s attention. Everyone turned to the stage

curiously.

“Futurelink Corporation’s entrance into Pamore would not have been possible without everyone’s

support. We hope to move forward hand–in–hand with everyone here to create an even more beautiful

future!”

As soon as the emcee finished, the crowd burst into a lively round of applause.

“He’s been going on for ages, but where is the president of Futurelink Corporation? Who on earth is he,

and why is he being so mysterious?”

“This president is really keeping everyone in suspense!”

“I just hope that we won’t be disappointed.”

There was silence.



The conversations in the crowd were all about the president of Futurelink Corporation.

It was clear that the mysterious president had already captured everyone’s attention.

“I believe that everyone is curious about Futurelink Corporation, especially the man behind the scenes.

Next, let us welcome the president of Futurelink Corporation, Mr. Xander Fulton, up on stage for his

speech!”

As soon as the emcee finished, the crowd’s curiosity reached its peak.

They were unfamiliar with Xander’s name.

“Cece, his name is Xander! What a hard name!”

Celia was surprised, but the dim lights hid her awkwardness. “What are you talking about? Xander is

such a nice name!”

She was showing off again by pretending like she and Xander were on a first–name basis.

“Wow, are you already on a first–name basis with him? Tell us the truth–are you dating this legendary

Xander?”

Celia raised her eyebrows and looked in Grace’s direction before saying, “Don’t be silly. Xander and I

don’t have that kind of relationship.

“But I’ll be honest. Our families are keen on us getting together, but it’s early days, so don’t spread any

rumors.”
