In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 376

Grace remained silent, as if contemplating something.

Finally, she looked at Xander, boldly guessing his thoughts. "Xander, let me guess. There's more to your suggestion of seven days, right?"

Xander crossed his arms in front of him, projecting an air as if he could handle anything. Yet when he spoke, there was a hint of affection in his tone. "I can't hide anything from you."

Grace suddenly understood. The two exchanged a knowing smile.

On the side, Emily was puzzled. "Grace, what kind of secret code are you two using?"

"Don't worry, Emily. In this world, no one can do anything without leaving a trace."

"So?"

"The truth will come out eventually. Those designs reported by Jessica are my work from my university days. The drafts of the designs are still at the school. So now, what we need is time."

They needed time to gather the necessary evidence.

Emily finally understood their plan. "So, you plan to go back to school?"

Grace nodded. "It's time to go back and take a look. Maybe I can find something. Xander—"

Before Grace could continue, Xander guessed what she wanted. "I'll go with you."

Grace was moved. "Thank you."

…

That afternoon, she canceled all her work at Amirate and departed for Coronia with Xander.

On the private plane, she felt somewhat exhausted and leaned back to rest on the seat. Soon, her breathing became steady.

Xander stared at her profile affectionately. At this moment, everything was so peaceful. He gently covered her with a blanket.
