In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 430

The wealthy lady sarcastically remarked, "Mrs. Hawkins, I don't think you're jealous. You're regretful—extremely regretful.

"After all, you were blind and turned down the opportunity to have the world's richest family's daughter as your daughter-in-law. Now you've found a—"

She scrutinized Jessica, not bothering to hide her disdain as she said, "You found a person who can't be brought to the table. It's truly indescribable."

Susan became anxious. "What nonsense are you talking about? Who did you say is blind? Explain yourself."

Smiling, the wealthy lady shook her head and didn't bother engaging in further discussion with Susan. Instead, she walked toward Grace.

Left alone, Susan stomped her foot in frustration.

"Ms. Lewis." The wealthy lady greeted Grace with a demeanor that was in stark contrast to how she had spoken to Susan.

Grace smiled. "Nice to meet you, Mrs. Wright."

Evelyn Dixon, who was known as Mrs. Wright, didn't expect Grace to know her. She felt greatly satisfied.

"Ms. Lewis, not only is your business doing well, but you're also getting more beautiful. It seems like joy puts heart into a man."

Evelyn's gaze naturally lingered on Grace and Xander.

Grace admitted it openly. "Thanks for your kind words. Indeed, everything is developing in the right direction."

Evelyn nodded with a smile. "That's great. However, Ms. Lewis, I must remind you. Your former mother-in-law is no pushover. Be careful. She might set traps for you."

Pointing toward Susan, who wasn't standing far away, Evelyn shook her head. "She's jealous of you."

"Sure, sure."

Evelyn couldn't contain her excitement. "Let's schedule a time for our next meeting."

Since Evelyn was engulfed in joy, her words became more amiable. "Ms. Lewis, you're beautiful inside and out. I'll thank you in advance.

"The Hawkins family really lacks insight. That's why they can't appreciate your worth. Thankfully, everything is falling into the best arrangement now. I wish you and Mr. Fulton a happy marriage soon."

After Evelyn left, Xander hugged Grace's waist and whispered, "Gracie, I really like the phrase 'a happy marriage'."

His warm breath brushed against her ear, making her ears turn completely red. Her heart rate quickened, and her cheeks burned.

She stammered, "Xander, I-I ..."
