In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 584

Grace looked at Shawn. He was wearing a white high-neck sweater, a long coat, a cap, and a mask. The outfit added a touch of gentleness to him.

"Mr. Griffin, are you afraid of the cold?"

Shawn looked straight ahead. "Very much."

Grace nodded in understanding.

There was a stretch of road leading to the venue's entrance. Grace didn't know what to say. Shawn saw through her and asked, "Do you feel awkward to see me?"

"No. I just thought you wouldn't come to such a noisy occasion. It's a bit unexpected."

"I used to like lively events."

"I couldn't tell. People who open teahouses usually like quiet, right?"

"You drink tea too. Do you like quiet?"

Grace buried her face in her scarf and smiled awkwardly. "No, I don't like quiet. I also like lively events."

Shawn smiled beneath the mask. "Do you think I'm old?"

"Of course not."

Even though she hadn't seen his face, his eyes were bright, and he seemed energetic. He didn't seem old at all.

"Then, why do you always call me Mr. Griffin?"

Grace finally realized what he meant. "I don't know why, but you give me the feeling that you're older than me, like my older brother."

She felt a bit in awe of him.

They had now entered the venue, so she guided Shawn to his seat. "This seat is right in front of the heater. You shouldn't feel cold tonight."

Shawn pressed his lips together. "Thank you."

"Don't mention it."

Grace glanced around at the chaotic crowd and leaned close to his ear before whispering, "After the gala, I'll take you to meet my second brother."

Grace chuckled, fixing Lydia's hair for her. "Why are you in such a hurry? Your hair is a mess."

Lydia angrily batted Grace's hand away. "Stop avoiding the topic. Answer me."

Grace smiled and didn't answer.

Zoe couldn't stand it and helplessly said, "Can't you tell? She's so calm. She must have a plan. Gracie, you know that she's anxious, and yet you're still teasing her."

Grace pouted and said comfortingly, "You'll see him tonight, Lydia. Even though no one has exposed your identity, you're also in the spotlight. Be careful."

Emily hugged Lydia's arm and looked at Grace. "I'll keep an eye on her for you."

Feeling reassured, Grace nodded, leaving to attend to her own affairs.

As of now, the screen showed a transaction volume of 100 billion, with live commerce accounting for 64.78%.

Grace stood below the stage with tens of thousands of spectators behind her. She looked up at these figures on the big screen. Her heart surged with excitement as she looked at the skyscraper of fortune she had built.
