In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 669

Joshua stuck out his hand and pulled Celia into his embrace. "She says she doesn't know who you are."

Benjamin didn't say anything. He stared intently at Celia, who had changed so completely. No matter how angry he was, he couldn't make a scene at this time.

Elysium Bank's annual party wasn't a joke, and there were many high officials present. He couldn't embarrass Anthony.

Joshua was even more powerful than Hawkins Group, and it wouldn't be a good idea to offend him either.

Grace could tell that Benjamin was suppressing his anger.

When Joshua and the others took their seats, Timothy followed them.

Grace grabbed Noelle's hand and whispered in her ear. Noelle nodded.

After that, Grace didn't hang around longer; she left the party.

Luke was waiting outside. "The production company that Joshua invested in is Stellar, which is one of the most popular companies right now. They're rivals with Amirate's film and television department."

"Check the artists that he's signed on recently."

Grace took a deep breath. She hadn't planned on investigating it in such detail, but now it seemed like she had no choice but to check thoroughly.

"Celia?" Xander's doubtful voice traveled over from the other end of the phone.

"Yep. Even though we didn't talk, she's changed a lot. Joshua is from Frenda. You probably know more about his movements. Can you help me check?"

It was noisy on Xander's end, and he seemed to be walking. After he got indoors, he finally said, "Okay."

Grace could sense that something was wrong. She also wanted to ask him something else, but she didn't know how to start. The two of them lapsed into silence.

Xander spoke first. "Is your sprained ankle feeling better?"

Grace glanced down. It didn't hurt much anymore. She undid the bandage that Shawn had done for her. "It's fine."

She continued, "Um… I've heard about that incident with Joshua. They say that you took half of the Iverson family's fortune by bottom fishing."

Even though she was tentative, she still decided to ask about it. She felt that she should be honest.
