Lap of Luxury Chapter 61

Chapter 61 Out and Back in Again 

“You rebellious bastard! She’s Grace Lewis! The fourth Lewis kid, the one you’re engaged to!“. Donald was yelling so loudly that he was practically roaring. 

He had sent Timothy to Pamore so that he could get closer to Grace. 

Aaron had been opposed to this, so he’d had to promise that he wouldn’t tell Timothy about Grace’s true identity. In return, Timothy had been allowed to work at Amirate Corporation. 

And yet, this bastard was so stupid that he had broken off the engagement and called Grace an ugly hag right in front of his elders. 

Donald could feel his blood pressure soaring. He really wished he could jump out of the screen and teach Timothy a lesson. 

Timothy stood up and kept shaking his head as he stared at Grace. 

He really couldn’t imagine the goddess before him and the hag in his memories being the same person. 

“The lady I’ve been courting… She’s the fiancée I’ve been trying not to marry?” 

He wished he could disappear on the spot. “No! It can’t be!” 

He looked up and let out a long sigh, then walked out looking like his soul had left his b*dy. Grace couldn’t help but giggle at the sight. 

After she ended the video call, she spent a long time laughing in her office, where no one was watching. Truly, revenge was a dish best served cold. 

Seeing her nemesis look this soulless brought her more joy than winning the lottery. Some time later, Aaron called her. “Yes, Aaron?” Grace said cheerfully. 

“How can you still be laughing when your fiancé has called off your engagement?” Aaron was a little pissed. How dare Timothy Donegan dump his precious sister? 

“Of course I can. That guy needed to be taught a lesson. That will teach him not to mess with the fourth Lewis kid.” 

“So what are your thoughts on his courtship?” Aaron paused, then continued, “You don’t have to worry about our family ties to the Donegans. 

“We don’t need marriage alliances to strengthen our business. Just go with your heart, and I’ll take care of the rest.” 

Grace felt warm inside. Her friends and family had always been her greatest supporters.” Aaron, you know the way he used to make fun of me. Why would I like him?” 

Then, she smiled slightly. “I may not feel anything for him because I have a little grudge against him, but that’s it.” 

“Okay, got it,” Aaron said simply. “Aunt Hestia recently got back from her world trip, and she’ll be in Frenda for a few days. Do you want to visit her?” 

Grace’s eyes lit up. “Finally! I’ve missed her so much!” 

“She’s doing a photography exhibition there, and she asked me to invite you.” 

“Alright, I’ll be there. I’ll fly over the moment Lydia’s jewelry exhibition ends. Caleb will be at Frenda too. What a coincidence!” 

Grace was ecstatic. Aaron was the only person she could be her genuine, non–prickly self with. They talked about working with Barnes Group for a while, then hung up. 

At night, Grace and Emily went to VERE Jewelry. Lydia was about to have another exhibition in Pamore, so they had to support her as her best friends. 

VERE Jewelry had earned its fame across the globe for its unique designs. Every rich lady in Pamore had gone crazy when they heard that its designer, Lydia, was doing an exhibition in 

Pamore. 

All of them were clutching their purses, waiting for the exhibition. In the meantime, Grace and Emily looked around and found several bracelets to their liking. 

After a staff member took them out of the display case, Grace’s hand brushed someone else’s 

as she tried to take one. It was Celia, whom she hadn’t seen in a while. 

“Ew, my day’s ruined!” Celia rolled her eyes while surrounded by rich girls. “Someone get me a wet wipe. I need to clean my hands thoroughly.” 

When Emily recognized Celia, she said loudly, “Aren’t you a criminal suspect? What are you doing here instead of sitting in jail? The Hawkins sure bailed you out fast.” 

Coldness flashed in Grace’s eyes. As she expected, that family was shameless and conniving. 

They always excused their own family members‘ mistakes without ever taking responsibility for them. 

At the same time, Celia’s expression soured, and she screeched, “What are you talking about? I could sue you for slandering me!” 

“Go ahead! Sue me! You’ll get famous and start trending online again,” Emily shot back without hesitation. 

The rich girls behind Celia were shocked. “Celia, we missed that banquet, so we had no idea what happened. Are the rumors true? Did you actually go to jail?”
