In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 645

Unable to find common ground in conversation, they decided to play poker instead.

Wanting to liven things up, Isla made phone calls inviting more people to join. During the waiting period, Grace filled in for two rounds.

"Mrs. Brooke isn't answering her phone. Is something wrong?"

"You don't know? Last night, Mrs. Brooke stormed into Fortress, wielding a knife. It's said that when she arrived, the screens in the lobby were playing a loop of her husband with a woman," Jean recounted excitedly.

"What video?"

"You know, that kind."

The ladies burst into laughter.

"Did she offend someone? The Brooke family has a solid background. Isn't this a slap in their face?"

"Fortress doesn't easily disclose client privacy. Whoever did this must be a big shot."

Grace gazed at the cards in her hand, smiling but saying nothing.

Bored of the women's chatter, Victor excused himself for some fresh air.

He sent a text to Grace. "I'll wait outside. Come out after two rounds."

That was her plan, too. After two rounds, she politely prepared to leave.

But just as she was about to stand up, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

A soft voice sounded. "Sorry for being late, ladies."

Hearing that, Grace turned around.

It was a woman full of charm. Though she was aging and had fine lines at the corners of her eyes, her every move exuded a seductive allure that men would find irresistible.

"Priscilla, you're finally here," Jean greeted warmly, stepping forward.

"I left as soon as you called," Priscilla replied as she was pushed into a seat.

Then, she glanced at Grace. "Oh, it's rare to see such beauty. Which family are you from?"
