In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 665

Benjamin took a deep breath and puffed out his chest.

Grace was growing more and more distant from him by the day, but it was okay.

Jessica had already been sent away, so Grace would never know that the person she had fallen in love with at first sight was actually Alexander.

Anthony finished his speech, and the programme that the staff had prepared for the night began.

The food was served. Since Noelle was the successor to Elysium Bank and she rarely appeared in public, many people came by to toast her.

Timothy sensed that the atmosphere at their table had become rather awkward, so he tried to lighten the mood. "Milady, do you know the Iversons? They're one of the four largest families in Frenda."

Grace knew about them. "We've had a few dealings in the past."

"The second son of the Iversons is here in Pamore."

Grace thought about it for a moment. She vaguely remembered that the name of the Iversons' second son was Joshua; he had been the one who had gone against Xander because of Fortress Club.

"What's he doing here?"

Timothy ladled some food onto Noelle's plate. "He acquired a production company. The company's market value rose sharply within a couple of days, all thanks to his trading."

Joshua was being very aggressive, and his motive for coming to Pamore was unclear. It was a move that would attract a lot of attention in the capital market.

Timothy was a professional trader. He had received the news at once.

Benjamin overheard them. "I heard that he's lost quite a large chunk of the Iversons' family fortune. That's why he's not popular among the elders in his family, and other families of equal standing are unwilling to let him marry their daughters."

"That may be so, but he does have talent. He's just overconfident, which is why he gets trapped. Do you know who the person was who ended up with half the Iversons' family fortune?"

Benjamin mulled over it. "It's a mystery. He doesn't seem to have a name."

"I know." Timothy looked mysterious. "His surname is Fulton."

The two of them simultaneously looked at Grace, who looked confused. She was quick to react and said, "You're talking about Xander."
