In the Lap of Luxury

Chapter 601 It's Not Over Yet

"Have you two been together for a long time?" the medical staff asked.

Grace wanted to say no, but Xander held her hand and nodded. "Yes."

His answer made her heart skip a beat.

After getting his wounds bandaged, Xander left to give the police his statement. Grace waited in the lobby of the police station, Xander's coat still on her.

"Samuel vanished after the incident. He's likely involved," reported Luke.

Grace massaged her temples. "I can probably guess why." Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Mr. Fulton ordered the news to be suppressed. Word won't get out."

"What about my family?"

"We tried to keep it from them, lest they worry. But Caleb was around and found out about it."

Just as Luke explained the situation, two figures rushed into the police station. The one in the lead had a mask on, and he called out, "Gracie!"

To their surprise, it was Caleb. Caleb grabbed a staff member and demanded, "Where's Grace? I'm looking for Grace!"

Grace spoke up weakly, "Caleb, I'm over here."

Caleb immediately turned to look in her direction. At the sight of her battered appearance, his brows furrowed in distress. "Gracie …"

Then, he crouched in front of her, his eyes teary. "Does it hurt?"

Grace felt like crying as well. "It doesn't hurt, Caleb."

Caleb embraced her tightly and grumbled, "That bastard dared to lay his fingers on my sister. I'm going to kill him. I must make him pay!"

The lobby was bustling with people, and Grace felt somewhat embarrassed. She nudged him and said, "Caleb, we're at the police station. Keep your voice down."

However, Caleb couldn't care less. "I'm going to ask Aaron to annihilate Brodie and his people. None of them will be spared!"

Amused, Grace chuckled. "Are you a gangster?"

"I will never forgive them for hurting you!"

"All right. Don't tell Aaron for now. I don't want them to worry."

"What? Are you going to let this slide?"

Grace narrowed her eyes as she replied, "Of course not. It's not over yet."

Caleb was very displeased. He wasn't willing to let it go so easily. So Grace changed the subject and asked, "Where's Lydia?"

Hearing her teasing tone, Caleb grinned through his tears. "Lydia is very worried about you. I told her to wait for news from me at home."

"How sweet."

At that moment, Danzel appeared. Grace quickly got up and greeted him. "Chief Bradley."

Danzel sized her up and said, "You seem to be in good spirits. It's fortunate that you're not seriously injured."

Grace smiled in response before getting straight to the point. "I wanted to ask who had saved us today. From the way he was dressed, it didn't look like he's from our side."

"Saved you?"

"Yes. The man who kicked Brodie into the air and subdued him."

Her funny description made Danzel laugh. After pondering for a while, he seemed too troubled to answer her question.

"He's one of us, just with a different role."

"Great. Can you take me to see him? I'd like to thank him in person."

Danzel waved dismissively. "That's not necessary. It's our duty to protect the public."

"I just want to give him my thanks."

"Ms. Lewis, I'm sorry, but please understand." Danzel promptly walked away with his team after that, leaving Grace standing there in a daze.

Caleb came up to her and tightened the coat around her. "What's wrong? Who do you want to meet?"

Grace didn't know exactly who the person was. When she looked up, she happened to see Benjamin exiting the interrogation room with Larry.

The two of them made eye contact.

Caleb also spotted Benjamin, and he couldn't help getting annoyed. "Damn, why is he here too?"

Benjamin didn't take his eyes off Grace. "I want to speak with you."

Grace remained calm. "I figured you would."
