In the Lap of Luxury by Unsweetened Chestnuts Novel novel Chapter 603

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.

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."

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."
