In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 585

The gala was broadcast during prime time on TV. Tickets were sold out in half a second.

Due to the grand nature of the gala, security was tight. Grace was concerned that Xander might have trouble getting in. So she sent him a message.

"After getting off the plane, head directly to the staff entrance. I've arranged for Luke to wait for you. He'll assist you."

There was no response. Grace calculated the time and realized that Xander must still be on the plane.

Entering the backstage area, Grace opened a door with no name on the label outside it. Caleb, who was now dressed up, sat in front of the mirror.

His voice was a bit shaky. "Gracie, I haven't been this nervous since my debut."

Grace smiled, patting his shoulder. "Have you really thought it through? Choosing love over power?"

"I've never been a person who only cares about interests and not emotions." He sounded confident and bold.

Truth be told, all of the Lewises seemed to be like this. Perhaps it was because they had never truly experienced parental love, so they cherished all relationships.

…

Time passed, and one program after another ended. The numbers on the big screen reached astonishing levels.

Soon, it was 10:30 pm. According to the program schedule, Caleb's performance was about to start.

Countless people, both at the venue and behind the TV screen, were anticipating it.

Below the stage, Timothy had his arm draped over Benjamin's shoulder. "There's still no news. It's not just a smoke bomb, is it?"

Benjamin kept his eyes on the direction of the backstage. "Even if it's a smoke bomb, we've achieved what we wanted, haven't we?"

Unexpectedly, Noelle was also there, holding a glow stick, full of excitement. Timothy immediately agreed, nodding and smiling as he stroked her hair.
