In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 683

The man in front of Xander, although aged, exuded an elegant and amiable demeanor. Yet his eyes seemed like he was hiding something.

He was holding a glass of wine while staring at Xander slyly.

Xander stood still. From the corner of his eye, he saw Grace's figure getting farther away. He gave Caleb a meaningful gaze, indicating that he should follow.

He then replied, "It has indeed been a while, Joshua."

Joshua raised his glass and laughed. "My woman performing at your woman's event shouldn't be a big deal, right?"

As he spoke, Celia had already stepped down from the stage and walked to Joshua's side. She then linked her arm with his. "We meet again, Mr. Fulton."

She was extremely pleased about upsetting Grace, so she acted proud and triumphant.

Xander's expression darkened. "It was just a dance. Grace and I don't mind it."

Joshua laughed even louder. "Then, I can rest assured. It's just that your woman seems unhappy. Should I apologize? But it wasn't intentional. I know there was a problem on Amirate's side, so I just wanted to help out as a senior."

His words sounded nice. He just wanted to "help out".

Xander was dressed in a trench coat. Standing there with his hands in his pockets, he exuded a cold and profound sense of detachment.

"Grace is my girlfriend, not my woman. This is public knowledge, unlike…" He glanced nonchalantly at Celia. "Unlike you and her. You should understand that, Joshua."

Joshua's expression changed.

Celia's face also turned ugly. That simple sentence stated the difference between her and Grace.

"As for the so-called problem, we'll have to wait for the police to determine the results before we know more."

After saying that, Xander smiled. "Joshua, I've been looking forward to facing off against you since the Fortress incident."

With that, he walked past Joshua, leaving them to ponder over the meaning behind his words.
