In the Lap of Luxury

At this moment, Peter released his grip and stood straight on the side. "Mr. Fulton."

Sean trembled as he climbed off the couch. "You bitch, how dare you hit me? Xander, is this how your people handle things?"

His head was bleeding. Half of his face was covered in blood, making him look terrifying.

However, Xander didn't even glance at him. Instead, he walked over to Grace in the corner and slowly crouched down. He reached out his trembling hand. "Gracie." Grace had been holding back her emotions this whole time. When she saw Xander, she broke down at once. Tears streamed down her face.

"I don't know him."

Xander lifted her face. It was so cold that it pierced his heart.

"I know. I'm here now. Calm down."

Seeing this, Sean's eyes widened. "Y-You know each other? Xander, you set me up!"

Just then, the manager rushed over with people. When he saw the scene, he knew the situation was bad. "Mr. Fulton, this happened because of our negligence."

Upon closer inspection, Grace's frail figure was completely unfamiliar-she was not someone from Fortress.

This was bad. The situation had become uncontrollable.

"Say something, Xander! Did you find this bitch to set me up?" Sean slammed the table furiously.

"You've got some nerve to make a move against me! I bet you don't want this project anymore!"

"Mr. Brooke." Xander helped Grace to her feet and took off his coat to wrap around her.

"You've been indulging in the red-light districts for too long, neglecting Mrs. Brooke at home. I think it's time for her to come and take you home."

His tone was indifferent, yet filled with immense pressure.

This hit Sean where it hurt the most. His eyes widened. "What are you trying to do, Xander? Don't you want the project anymore?"

He relied on this marriage to sustain his career.

Over the years, he had been with many women, but his wife knew nothing. If she found out about these affairs, he wouldn't be able to recover for at least five years.

Hazel lowered her head. She hadn't expected Xander to admit his

relationship with Grace in such a

situation. It seemed he had zero

tolerance for anything when t

involved Grace.

Before Grace had entered the room, Sean had already gotten intimate with another woman.

Since they were in this industry, the women were always prepared. Videos were their weapon to threaten such men.

The woman approached and handed Xander the phone. "Mr. Fulton."

Xander didn't take it but looked at the manager. "You handle it."

The manager quickly took it. "Understood."

Xander's face remained grim, as if a storm were brewing inside him. He carried Grace out without a word.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

As he passed by Hazel, he spoke in a harsh tone. "Terminate the contract with Sean."

Hazel could only nod and watch his tall figure gradually fade away.

Grace had never seen Xander like this. In her memory, he was always gentle and composed, rarely showing his emotions.

But now, the veins were bulging on the back of his hand, and his lips were almost pursed into a straight line.

He had reached his limit.

When Xander carried Grace into the car, her chest was heaving.

"Xander."

He didn't respond but picked up a cigarette from the console and lit it. A breath escaped from his chest amidst the smoke.

As he massaged his temples, his hand was still trembling slightly.

This time, Grace was in more danger than ever before.
