In the Lap of Luxury

Chapter 464 Shoo Him Out

Benjamin tailed Grace's car, keeping a distance between them all the while, until he saw Grace drive safely into Lewis Manor.

Only then did he park his car by the curb. From a distance, he could see someone waiting for Grace in the manor. He couldn't see the person's face clearly, but he was sure that it was a man.

Was Grace in a new relationship now? Were they living together? Was the man Xander Fulton?

Benjamin's heart felt empty, as if something had been taken from him. Even his vision started to blur.

He gripped the steering wheel tightly. He didn't understand why he had followed Grace here, and he found it difficult to accept what he was currently witnessing. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

In the manor, Caleb glanced at the car parked not far away before asking Grace teasingly, "Grace, why didn't you invite that Fulton guy in for a visit?"

Grace walked forward and grabbed his arm. "Since when did you become such a gossip, Caleb?"

Caleb was just curious. "Did you guys have a fight?"

"No!"

"Why were you guys driving your own cars and not talking to each other, then?"

Grace wanted to laugh. "Have you seen clearly who that is?"

Caleb was even more curious now. "What, that's not Xander? Who is he, then? You aren't dating someone else already, are you?

"I can tell you now that Xander's the only brother-in-law I'll approve of. If anyone else wants to become a member of our family, I'll shoo them out with a broom!"

Grace held in her laughter. "Oh, really? The guy out there right now is Benjamin."

"What?" Caleb was surprised. "I'll go grab a broom now! He has some nerve to show up here in our manor when he's not welcome here!

"I've wanted to deal with him for a long time now, but I've never gotten the chance before today. I'm going to teach him a mean lesson!"

Caleb was serious. He called a housekeeper to bring a broom over, looking like he was about to get into a fight.

Grace stopped him quickly, asking, "What are you doing, Caleb?"

"I'm going to shoo him out!" Caleb huffed and dashed out of the house, all fired up, only to discover that the car that had been parked there had disappeared.

Caleb was baffled. "He already left?"

Grace caught up with him. She sighed. "Caleb, whatever's between him and I isn't what you're imagining."

"Tell me honestly. Is he harassing you again? If he dares do that to you again, I'll break his legs!"

Grace chuckled and pulled on Caleb's arm. "Okay, okay! I've already let go of what's in the past.

"Great! Let me warn you, you mustn't let Xander down, or else you'll experience the consequences."

Grace was dumbfounded. She had no idea why Caleb was so protective of Xander. "Why are you so strongly on his side? Are you keeping anything from me?"

Caleb looked at her and poked her forehead. "I'll let you figure it out yourself slowly. You'll be fine as long as you don't lose your rationality this time."

Grace was totally confused. Caleb didn't want to say more, though. He turned to enter the house. Grace chased after him.

"What do you mean, Caleb? Can you make it clearer?"

However, Caleb remained quiet despite Grace's many questions, so she could only give up.

…

The next day, Grace headed to Amirate Corporation. As soon as she got there, Luke entered her office. He had a serious expression on his face. "Ms. Lewis, Director Walker has been up to something else recently."

Grace's expression turned grim as Luke continued, "He seems to be quite short on money. He's been borrowing hefty loans from the black market."

"He's short of money?" Grace was surprised. "What's he taking out all these loans for?"
