In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 613

Grace stayed at Summitview Manor for two days straight. Xander sent her to and from work himself.

Some staff members managed to catch a photo of the two of them walking together. They looked perfect together.

After Black Friday was over, the entire industry knew that Amirate had won an enormous victory.

Added to the relentless promotion through Zoey's finance magazine, Grace was at the top of her game.

They clamored for Grace to treat them to dinner. Grace had no choice.

She showed the conversation to Xander, who smiled and made a reservation at a Pamore restaurant, which charged at least ten thousand per person.

Before they arrived, Grace started laughing her head off at her phone.

Xander leaned over to look at the conversation, but she dodged before he could see anything.

"Are you checking up on me?"

"Can't I?"

"You can check any of my conversations with men, but you're not allowed to look at any of my conversations with my girls."

The chat history of their group chat together would ruin her reputation if it ever got leaked.

Naturally, Xander should never see it, either.

His eyes creased into a smile. "Are you talking about me behind my back?"

Grace buried half her face into her red scarf and said nothing.

A few people still hadn't arrived yet due to work. They sat in a private room that had an amazing night view of Pamore.

Xander unwound Grace's scarf for her, revealing half her neck.

The scars weren't fully healed, and they interspersed with the hickeys on her neck. It was very eye-catching.

He smeared some ointment on it for her.

"This is imported medicine. It'll prevent scarring."

"Jessica chose to go for my neck because she wanted to torture me.

"The moment the money was transferred, she told Brodie to kill me. She really did not want to let me live."

Grace still felt traumatized by what had happened to her.

Xander focused intently on putting the medicine on for her.

"Peter found out that three years ago, Jessica saved Brodie's life. That was why he took the risk to come back. It was to repay his debt."

Grace did not know if he was loyal or just dumb.
