IN THE LAP OF LUXURY BY UNSWEETENED CHESTNUTS - Season 2 Episode 34

Xander only stopped when they had reached the end of the corridor. “Go in. The answer is inside.”

Then, he gently pushed the door open and entered.

“Mr. Lewis Senior, I brought Grace.”

Grace was startled. Following Xander’s line of vision, she saw Harold sitting on a chair.

“Grandpa!” Grace was happily surprised. She ran over without hesitance and dove into Harold’s

embrace.

“Grandpa, why didn’t you tell me that you were coming to Pamore?”

“I told him to keep it a secret because I wanted to give you a surprise.” Hestia’s voice rang out, making

Grace even more shocked.

“Aunt Hestia, you’re here too!”

Hestia came forward and tweaked Grace’s nose.

“How could I stay away? We know all about that rousing speech you made to the board of directors!”

Grace was embarrassed.

“Your bet with Mr. Walker isn’t a secret anymore. What do you plan to do next?”

Grace stuck out her tongue sheepishly and said, “Work hard and try my best to achieve my goal.”

“That’s great! You’re not giving up on yourself, which means you’re pretty confident! That’s good! You

resemble my younger self!” Harold praised her without holding back.

“Now that Xander is also in Pamore, you two can work together. If there are any issues at work, discuss

them with Xander,” Hestia continued.

Grace looked at Xander curiously. “So … Xander is stepping down from his position as the boss of

Fulton Group and coming to Pamore to run Futurelink Corporation?”

Hestia nodded. “Our families jointly funded Futurelink Corporation. It’ll temporarily be handed over to

Xander to manage.”

No wonder. Grace had found the name “Futurelink” and its initials “FL” rather strange. Now she knew

that it was formed from the initials of the Fulton and Lewis families!

Grace smiled. “Then, with Xander here to back me up, I can rule Pamore in the future!”

Xander looked at her, not bothering to hide the affection in his eyes.

When Grace returned to the hall with her arm around Xander’s, the crowd was unable to tear their eyes

away from them.

Xander accepted their stares calmly and mingled in the crowd with Grace, introducing her to the

partners of Futurelink Corporation.

Due to Benjamin and Grace’s divorce, most people in Pamore had maintained a distance from Grace

out of consideration for the Hawkins family. Therefore, many of them hadn’t even considered

collaborating with Amirate Corporation for projects.

Now that Futurelink Corporation was supporting her, many people changed their attitudes. As a result,

Grace received several offers.

“What do you think? These projects will keep you busy for the rest of the year, right?” Xander

whispered in her ear, making Grace laugh.

“Thanks for helping out so much, Xander! I’m one step closer to increasing my performance. by 30%.”

Xander laughed and shook his head. “Don’t set your sights so low.”

“You’re right. After all, I’ve already laid all my cards on the table. I can’t lose the bet!

Otherwise, I’ll lose my position.”

“Don’t worry, I’m here. No one can threaten your position.”

“I’ll thank you in advance, then.”

Their carefree conversation made them the object of envy. Among the crowd, one particular pair of

eyes followed them, never wavering even for a second.

Benjamin’s expression turned grim as he recalled how he had been stopped outside when he had

chased the two of them upstairs.

There was a ‘suppressed rage in his eyes as he drank continuously from his glass.

It was a rich wine, but it tasted bitter in his mouth.

After he had drunk countless glasses, Benjamin strode toward Grace.
