In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 313

Max was unaware of this matter, so he asked in confusion, "Explain what?"

Grace smiled calmly and replied, "Now that things have come to this point, there's no need for you to play dumb."

Max's face immediately darkened, and he turned to Shane. "What happened? What did you do to offend Ms. Lewis? Tell me the truth."

Shane's expression turned dark, and he leaned in to whisper something.

Upon hearing it, Max slammed the table, exclaiming, "You reckless idiot!"

Startled, Shane quickly tried to appease him. "Max, don't be mad. It was a moment of impulse."

Max tried to calm himself down and stay level-headed before Grace.

Shane had been with him for many years. He was Max's right-hand man. It seemed unlikely that he would dispose of Shane just for Grace.

So he smiled apologetically and said, "Ms. Lewis, perhaps there's a misunderstanding here?"

Grace had a rough idea of what was happening and responded, "Max, I almost lost my life, and you're telling me that it's a misunderstanding?"

Max knew Grace's identity. Although he had some influence in the city, he didn't dare openly confront Grace.

Thus, he played the mediator and poured a glass of wine and offered it to Grace, saying, "Ms. Lewis, my men were ignorant to offend you. Take this as a token of my apology. Let's forget the past and put a full stop to this."

Grace snorted coldly, extended her hand, and knocked the glass over. The glass fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.

Shane shouted in agitation, "Grace, don't be ungrateful. Max has already apologized to you humbly. What more do you want?"

Grace looked at Shane and said, "What do I want? It's simple. I want your life!"
