In the Lap of Luxury

Chapter 316 She's The Boss

Seeing this, the people around also yelled in unison, "Boss!"

Shane was unwilling to accept reality as he watched the scene unfold. He couldn't believe that everyone was acknowledging Grace as their leader. It would be hard for him to survive in the future.

"Shane, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and beg Ms. Lewis to let you off!" Max scolded.

But Shane wouldn't yield easily. However, he had no choice. After some thought, he reluctantly kneeled to grovel.

Grace was also stunned. She hadn't expected Max to be so influential. It was impressive indeed.

"Okay! Thank you, all of you."

Max quickly ordered his men to stand in line.

Then, he approached Grace compliantly and said, "Ms. Lewis, from now on, we're all under your command. It's up to you to handle what Shane did. You can do whatever you want to him."

Grace played with her fingers and said, "I'm not interested in his life, but I want him to do something for me."

Shane was relieved to hear this. At least his life was temporarily out of danger.

"Gra—Ms. Lewis," Shane immediately corrected himself. "Please give your orders."

Grace replied, "What I want is simple: an eye for an eye. Do you understand?"

Shane hesitated. After all, Yvonne had been with him for many years. It was hard for him to do that to her.

Grace noticed his hesitation. "What's the matter? You don't want to do it?"

She leaned in and stared coldly at Shane. Her gaze was so domineering and intense.

Grace continued, "You don't want to? Or are you willing to take the punishment for her?"

Shane shivered.

He had no choice at all.

His life was on the line, and he had to choose to save himself.

"Give me three days. I'll make sure the results please you."

Grace nodded, seemingly satisfied with his response.

As she turned around to leave, Max stopped her. "Ms. Lewis, what about us? Any orders for us?"

"I will find you when I need you. In the meantime, you're in charge."

Max nodded. "Thank you. Safe travels, Ms. Lewis!"

Everyone bade farewell to Grace, shouting, "Safe travels, Ms. Lewis!"

She was treated completely differently from how she had been when she first came there. As soon as Grace left, she saw Xander leaning against the car angrily. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Xander stood up and walked toward her.

Grace felt a little guilty when she saw him. "Xander, why are you here?"

Xander reached out and rubbed her head.

"Gracie, you're getting bolder. How dare you come here alone? Do you know who Max is? He's one of the most dangerous criminals in Pamore. He's ruthless and dominant."

Grace blinked her eyes. She didn't think so. In fact, she even thought Max was quite cute.

"Xander, calm down. I'm fine, aren't I?"

Xander sighed helplessly. He knew everything about what happened inside from his staff, but he was still worried. What if Grace had had an accident? What would he do then?

"Gracie, please promise me that no matter what you do in the future, you'll inform me first."
