In the Lap of Luxury

Chapter 603 Doesn't Matter if You're Alexander or Shawn

Xander's phone vibrated in his palms. He glanced at the caller ID before calmly stepping aside.

"Speak."

Hazel sounded urgent and flustered.

"Mr. Fulton, you finally answered. Did something happen at Pamore? I can't reach Peter either."

"It's okay. What's the situation at Fulton Group?"

Hazel didn't press for details since he didn't want to explain himself.

She composed herself and said, "Mr. Fulton Senior has discovered the Aether project. He's furious and is coming to the company to see you.

"I've been trying to delay him but can't hold him off much longer."

"Tell him that I'm in Pamore with Grace."

Hazel was surprised that mentioning Grace had such an effect.

"Do they know each other?"

Xander let out a light chuckle.

"More than you think."

"What about the project?"

"Just mention Bobby. He'll give my father an explanation."

The call ended, and Grace happened to walk over.

"Business?"

Xander nodded and reached out for her hand. There was a scratch, bandaged with gauze.

"Let's go to the hospital."

"I've already taken care of it. It's not necessary."

He didn't say anything and led her outside. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

She took small steps, and her dress fluttered, making her look captivating.

"What a perfect couple," someone in a room on the second floor sighed.

Shawn, who had been standing by the window, finally averted his gaze.

"Angus."

Angus immediately handed over a document with respect.

"Sir, I found the information you wanted."

Shawn took it and gave Angus a warning glare.

"It doesn't matter if you're Alexander or Shawn. Wherever you are, you will always be our leader. That will never change," Angus said with deep affection.

As Shawn glanced through the information, Angus asked, "Five years ago, when you were undercover in Coronia, you wiped out Brodie's men, and only he managed to escape.

"I never thought he would dare to come back. Now, he's finally caught. Don't you find it suspicious?

"He disappeared for so many years, then risked his life to come back and kidnap a woman."

"Yeah! What's so special about that woman? Danzel said you personally went there last night and told him all the details about Brodie.

"What's your relationship with her?"

Angus grinned as he gossiped.

Shawn elbowed him and said, "Brodie mentioned Ryan Madden at the scene. Who is he?"

"Oh, he's a contractor at the Eastwood construction site. Everyone calls him Ryan."

"And where is he?"

"He's gone missing, and we're conducting a city-wide search."

Shawn gathered the documents.

"Hurry and interrogate Brodie. Update me if there's any news."

Ashley brought a change of clothes to the hospital. After Grace freshened up, she returned to bed with an IV.

Xander sat beside her, peeling an apple and watching her, not allowing her to remove the needle.

"How is the situation at the company?"

Ashley stammered, "Mr. Fulton ordered last night to stop the news from breaking, so everything is alright. But the two billion dollars ..."

It was not a small sum.

"I've already instructed my men to freeze the account before the transfer. It will be returned in one day," Xander spoke at the right time.

Ashley was amazed at how meticulous he was.

"Where's Mr. Walker?"

"He's gone."

Grace wasn't surprised.

"He committed a crime. That's why he ran away quickly. Jessica is probably also in hiding.

Xander handed her a slice of apple, and she bit into it, feeling content.

Caleb, who had been watching from the sidelines, clicked his tongue.

"Xander, come with me for a second."
