In the Lap of Luxury

Chapter 581 Someone He Cares About

"The more mysterious she makes things out to be, the more suspense she leaves the crowd in. Right now, the public has stopped focusing on his relationship.

Instead, they're now speculating on whether or not he'll appear. Don't you think that this is very sophisticated marketing?"

It finally dawned on Timothy.

"Oh my! She knows that with Caleb's popularity, he will absolutely have to say something to the fans. But if he does, he can't just casually make a statement. They have to maximize the profits.

"Damn. She's a born businesswoman."

Benjamin remained expressionless when he heard this. In truth, he felt conflicted.

The skills she had shown had proven that she wouldn't have been able to reach her full potential at Hawkins Group.

Timothy only stayed for a while before he remembered he had to pick his girlfriend up for lunch.

Larry entered Benjamin's office. He lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Hawkins, I have news about the person you told me to investigate."

Benjamin looked up at once. "Where is he?"

"In Pamore. But we have only found similar characteristics so far. He has a mole on his palm, and the height matches up, but the rest is unclear."

"Is it him?"

"We're not sure yet. However, Ms. Quine is trying her best to hide, and he's not willing to appear either. He may not really have come to Pamore, so don't get too excited."

Benjamin's fingers gripped the crystal tightly. "He does everything on a whim, and no one can change his mind.

"He's remained hidden all this time, but now that there's sudden news of him, it means that there's something he cares about in Pamore."

Something or someone.

"What?"

"Keep looking. When you're sure, let me know."

…

On Saturday, Grace went out early in the morning. While she was in the car, Luke told her about the day's schedule, which was fully packed from morning to night.

It was 2:00 pm in Frenda. Hazel was on her way to the auction meeting while Xander remained at Fulton Group to meet the chairman of Aether Group.

"We are honored that you delayed your flight by three hours for us, Mr. Baxter."

Xander took out a chessboard. He took the black pieces.

A chill ran down Bobby Baxter's spine. The young man in front of him was dressed in a white shirt and had a gentle smile. He looked completely harmless.

However, just an hour ago, Bobby had received news that the authorities had entered Aether Group's branch office in Frenda. They were going to be audited.

Even top corporations feared being audited, not to mention Aether Group, which was just a second- tier corporation.

Bobby didn't even have to think to know who was behind this. After all, he hadn't given Xander a straightforward answer at the gathering the night before.

He had rushed to Fulton Group, where Xander had been waiting for him with a pot of tea.

Bobby made a move. "It's not that I don't want to answer you, Mr. Fulton. It's … your father already told us that Fulton Group doesn't have plans to expand in the domestic market."

Xander held a few chess pieces in his hands and played with them casually. "You've forgotten who's in charge at Fulton Group now, Mr. Baxter."

Everyone knew that Xander had returned to Fulton Group and was ruling it with an iron fist.

"I'm the leader of a corporation. Aren't you giving me too little time to think about what path to take, considering all the things I need to think about?"

Bobby gritted his teeth. "Besides, Aether Group's project in Pamore has been delayed until next year. Why are you in such a rush, Mr. Fulton?"

At his words, Xander raised his eyebrows. Bobby couldn't help but lower his head when faced with Xander's domineering presence.

Xander had only taken over Fulton Group for a few years and had achieved astounding results. Then, for some reason, he had left Fulton Group and established his own company in Pamore. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Just as everyone in the industry had breathed a sigh of relief, he had suddenly returned.

Now that he was back, he was even more ruthless than before.

It was unusual for someone to be so bold at that age.

Bobby had been in the business world for decades, but even he was afraid of Xander.
