In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 530

At the mention of this, there was a vicious glint in Xander's eyes. It was fleeting yet intense.

"Hmm, you don't need to worry about it."

Grace caught it and raised her hand to straighten his collar.

"Xander, you've always been gentle. Your hands shouldn't be tainted with blood. I can help you when necessary. I'm not afraid of anything."

Grace's eyes were more determined than ever. She looked almost as intimidating as Xander.

Over the years, she had been through a lot. She was no longer the naïve young girl she once was. She knew that in this circle, there was never such a thing as peace.

Xander caught her hand and said, "Through thick and thin?"

"Yes, I remember."

She also knew why he had said that at the time.

The vicious look in his eyes faded. He held her hand and caressed it in his palm.

"No, Gracie, you don't have to stoop so low for me."

A few hours earlier, at Fulton Group.

Xander had taken over the company at the age of 18. He was well-known as an authoritarian in the workplace.

He had returned from overseas without notifying anyone and made a surprise visit to the headquarters.

Xander wore a white shirt and black pants. He looked cold and showed no emotion as he entered the elevator. Behind him, his secretary at the company's headquarters, Hazel Yale, appeared.

"Jake secured the city's subway project, and with two years of achievements combined, the board is beginning to trust him more."

Xander stared at the numbers on the elevator and asked, "Where is he?"

"He's …"

The elevator reached the top floor and opened. The secretariat staff saw him and immediately moved to make a call.

Hazel stepped forward to stop them. "Do you know who this is?"
