In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 634

"If I had insisted, it would prove that I had set this up." Xander massaged his temples.

"But I think Mr. Fulton Senior is very happy with Ms. Lewis dating you," said Hazel.

Xander's face darkened. He didn't express any opinions on that.

"He's already supporting Jake. When Jake returns from Pamore, this project will be a crucial step in his promotion. By then, there might be another director added to the Fulton Group's board."

Hazel was astonished. "Is it a dead end?"

"He doesn't know the difference between me going to Pamore and staying in Fulton Group. As long as I'm here, I won't let him have this opportunity."

It was already nighttime in Frenda when Xander left the company and went to Hestia's place.

When the housekeeper opened the door and saw him, she excitedly called out, "Mr. Xander, you're back."

Xander raised a finger to signal her to keep it down. He then took off his coat. "Where's my mom?"

"She's in the living room, having a video call with Ms. Lewis."

As he walked over, he heard Grace's voice coming from the phone. "Aunt Hestia, I've gathered some supplements that are good for beauty and health. I'll send them to you tomorrow. You must take them."

In the video, Grace was bare-faced, and her hair was casually tied up in a bun.

Hestia smiled happily, satisfied with everything about Grace. "Sure. If it's from you, I'll definitely take it. Thank you."

"I'm quite busy with work since it's the end of the year. I'll fly over to visit you whenever I have time."

Before Hestia could respond, a voice suddenly came from behind her. "What about me? Aren't you going to visit me?"

Hestia was startled. "You rascal, you walk so quietly!"

Grace also chuckled in surprise. "Have you finished work?"

"Mom." Xander picked up an orange from the table. "Dad and the board are already unhappy with me. If I insist on leaving Fulton Group, I won't be able to secure my position as president."

He had originally planned to stay in Pamore and remotely handle Fulton Group's affairs. But now, with Jake gaining support, it would be difficult to restrain him.

"Even so, you shouldn't give Jake—"

"Priscilla wasn't feeling well last week and was hospitalized for two days. Dad went to visit her. I heard he even took care of her."

At the mention of Priscilla, Hestia closed her eyes.

After a moment, she said, "I can't and won't learn that vixen's tricks."

Sometimes, men were like that. The more they appreciated capable and beautiful women, the more they preferred weak and obedient women by their side.

"Priscilla has been able to control Dad for so many years. It's not just because she has a son, but also because you always give him a bad attitude. She takes advantage of that."
