In the Lap of Luxury
Chapter 514 No Confession

Lydia's house had been cleaned. It was no longer messy, and the broken things scattered on the floor had been cleared up.

"Gracie, I didn't expect you to come here." Lydia came out of the kitchen with gauze on her head.

"We're friends. Of course I had to come and see you."

Grace put a stack of photos on the table and put the flowers in a vase. "Caleb must have told you everything, right? I've already dealt with the kidnappers.

"As for Kayla, I've issued an order to ban her from the industry. She won't live well for the rest of her life."

The photos were of Troy and his subordinates. They looked like they were dying.

Lydia smiled gratefully. "Yes, Caleb told me. Thank you for your help with everything these past few days."

Grace clicked her tongue. She didn't like that Lydia treated her like an outsider.

"I want to ask you something." Grace moved closer to Lydia. "How are you and Caleb doing?"

Lydia blushed. "What do you mean?"

"Don't be so shy. He has been busy taking care of you. You two are already together, right?"

Lydia looked confused. "What are you talking about?"

She was surprised. "It didn't happen? No way! That day in the hospital, he was so happy when he found out that you liked him. He looked happier than he would have if he had won the grand prize!" Lydia was stunned. "Does he already know that I like him?"

After hearing that, Grace knew it was over. Caleb probably hadn't told Lydia about his feelings yet.

"Did Caleb not confess to you?"

Lydia shook her head. "He was kind to me and took care of everything, but he didn't tell me anything."

Grace became anxious. It was over. Xander's words had come true.

"Sorry, I couldn't hold it back that day. I didn't want to see you suffering like this."

"I don't blame you. Maybe he doesn't like me. I'm used to it. I can't force him to fancy me."

"Don't be sad. Maybe Caleb has some concerns."

In her heart, Grace scolded Caleb a thousand times over. She couldn't think of any concerns he had. The joy on his face that day had been his real reaction! When Grace left Lydia's place, her phone rang. It was Xander.

"Xander ..."

Her voice was so frustrated that he couldn't help but ask, "Weren't you going to see Lydia? What happened?"

"Why can't people who like each other be together?"

Baffled, Grace sat in the car and poked at the leather seats.

She listened to Xander's silence for a moment. Then, he answered, "Maybe there is something unspeakable or an insurmountable gap between them."

"Can love overcome all difficulties?"

He said confidently, "Of course. If they can't, there must be one party who doesn't love the partner enough. If they love each other, they can overcome all difficulties." His words were like a shot in the arm, making her feel better.

"By the way, why did you call me?"

"I have some news for you."

"Go ahead!"

"I heard that your people are looking into the money Director Walker borrowed. I have the latest update on it."

She smiled helplessly. "Nothing escapes your notice. Tell me then."

"Director Walker was very secretive, but I still found something. His goal was the land in Eastwood!"

Grace immediately understood what was going on. "Does he still want to invest in real estate? He's crazy! But wasn't that land signed by Landon Group? How could Director Walker ..."
