In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 627

"Why?" Benjamin couldn't help but ask after a long while. "You were at the scene that day."

"This is my business. I don't need to explain anything to you."

Benjamin frowned, and Shawn continued, "Besides you, no one will know that I used to be Alexander. Hawkins Group is all yours. No one is competing with you."

Hearing that, Benjamin didn't feel assured at all. His eyes were filled with suspicion.

"No one? What about Grace?"

Shawn put down the teacup. "She didn't recognize me."

The teahouse was peaceful. Closing the door to the private room seemed to isolate them from the outside world.

Grace slept in Xander's lap for a while and woke up two hours later. The two of them walked out side by side.

Suddenly, Xander received a call from Hazel. Grace understood that it must be an internal matter of the Fulton Group.

"I'll wait for you outside."

"Okay, I'll go to the restroom."

It was surely a call to urge him to return to Frenda as soon as possible. Hazel was anxious.

"Mr. Fulton Senior stayed at Silas' place for two consecutive nights. Jake has fallen out of power.

"He'll definitely take this opportunity to make a comeback. Fulton Group cannot be without a leader now."

Xander turned on the tap and washed his hands. "I'll be back in three days."

Hazel hesitated for a moment and then said in one breath, "I received information that Jake admitted all of his doings on Aether's projects.

"Although he was punished, he also stated that he could go to Pamore to make amends on your behalf. He'll return tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Xander instinctively tightened his grip on the phone and turned off the tap.

Two minutes later, he walked out of the men's room. As he passed the corner, he heard a familiar voice.

"We can't use Shawn anymore. He's no longer a cop."

It was Benjamin. Xander took out a tissue to wipe his fingers.

Benjamin seemed to be on the phone. The other end said something, and his tone turned heavy.
