In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 657

Hazel had grown up without a family, which was why she was like a drifting leaf. Xander had been like a savior to her.

"I'll never forget the days when I had to make every penny count, and I won't forget the debt I owe to Mr. Fulton. When I first joined Fulton Group with him all those years ago, I swore that I would always obey his commands." Hazel looked firm.

Grace narrowed her eyes. The lights at the roadside seemed to glare brightly in her eyes.

"You were with him every step of the way as he reached the position he's in today."

"Of course."

"Did he suffer a lot in the past?"

"When Mr. Fulton first joined Fulton Group, he started from the bottom so that he could prove himself to everyone.

"There was a time when he waited outside a client's house every day for a month without fail just so that he could get the client to agree on a project. One month later, the project was confirmed, and he was promoted by 3 levels."

Hazel leaned against the car, smiling as she reminisced about the hard times they'd had together.

"Two years later, Mr. Fulton became one of the nine directors in the company. However, the client we were working with at the time suffered a slump in their business. In the end, he became bankrupt and jumped off a building."

Grace's heart jolted when she heard this.

"Did Xander do it?"

"Ms. Lewis, things in the business world are never that absolute. Mr. Fulton never did anything personally, but he definitely played a part in it.

"I admire his style. If you want to become the top dog, you have to have this kind of determination."

At this point, Xander's black car slid to a stop in front of them. He got out of the car, and there was a gush of wind as he slammed the car door shut.

Grace's hair swirled in the wind, and then she was pulled in his arms. "Are you alright?"

He was breathing slightly heavily, giving away how worried he was.

Hazel moved away.

Grace clutched his shirt tightly and instinctively pushed him away.

"I told you that I was fine. Why did you rush over here?"
