In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 573

Grace replied, "Don't worry, everything's fine."

She couldn't see how tightly Xander was holding onto his phone on the other side. When he saw her message, he finally relaxed slightly.

Hazel rushed in. "Mr. Fulton, the secretariat office just told me that you want to book a flight ticket to Pamore!"

Xander put his phone down and said calmly, "Everything's fine now. You can cancel it."

Hazel was startled, but then she noticed the sheen of sweat on Xander's forehead. The veins throbbing on his forehead were slowly subsiding.

The image of Grace rose up unbidden in her mind, and she nodded silently. Then she said,

"Something's happened to Jake."

Xander's eyes were as sharp as daggers. "What?"

"While he was monitoring the work in Linden City, there was an explosion on site at night. He was affected and was sent to the hospital urgently."

Xander stood up and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling windows. "What was the cause of the explosion?"

"The workers hadn't stored the materials properly, which resulted in the explosion. The explosion was contained, and work progress is unimpeded."

Hazel paused. "However, the update from the hospital is that Jake has been severely injured. He may need to be brought back here for treatment."

"Is his life in danger?"

"Not at the moment."

At these words, Xander snorted. "He's so transparent. He seems determined to return to Fulton Group's headquarters.

"If he wasn't that ruthless, he wouldn't have been able to build up his influence here in the two years I was away."

Hazel frowned. "I asked around about Mr. Fulton Senior's movements. It seems that your mother has an exhibition today, so he's helping out there. I'm not sure whether he knows about this incident yet."

"Let's pay them a visit," Xander said enigmatically.

Hestia was having an exhibition in the countryside. With its sultry weather and clear sky, Frenda was different from Pamore.

Raymond was helping the staff carry the photos around. He wasn't conscious of his status at all, and no one could have known that he was the chairman of a huge corporation.
