In the Lap of Luxury
Chapter 660 Nouveau Riche of Pamore

Grace waited for an hour before the interview finally ended and the staff dispersed.

She went up to give Zoey a glass of water. "You've worked hard. I ordered some drinks for everyone."

Zoey looked at the crowd. "Say thank you to Ms. Lewis, everyone."

"Ms. Lewis?" They all exchanged looks. Then, they shouted loudly, "Thank you, Ms. Lewis!"

Grace smiled and looked past Zoey at the interviewee's spot. As she did so, she said, "Who were you interview-"

She stopped abruptly.

That was because she was looking straight at a face that felt both familiar and distant.

"We meet again, Ms. Lewis."

Grace's expression had frozen, but Zoey didn't realize that anything was wrong.

She introduced them to each other. "This is my friend Grace, and she's the CEO of Amirate. Gracie, this is one of the nouveau riche in Pamore, Mr. Jake Fulton. He's in charge of the Aether project." Then, she whispered in Grace's ear. "He has the same surname as Xander. What a coincidence."

Coincidence? What a joke!

She had known that Jake was in Pamore, but she hadn't expected to meet him so soon.

Jake remained relaxed as he looked at Grace's strange expression.

He adjusted his clothes and smiled as he said, "Ms. Lewis doesn't seem happy to see me at all."

Jon handed over a cup of the coffee that Grace had bought. He said happily, "Mr. Fulton, this is from Ms. Lewis."

Jake's gaze swept over it. "I won't be drinking that. Ms. Lewis enjoys drugging other people. Drinking something that she gives you comes at a price."

Grace looked angry.

No matter how slow Zoey was on the uptake, even she had realized that something wasn't right. "You two know each other?"

"No," Grace said. She looked intently at Jake. "I don't drug people lightly, unless that person is terribly annoying."

Jake laughed coldly, but he did not get angry.

"You'd better be careful then, Ms. Lewis. I have never been known to have a forgiving heart. Anyone who touches me can expect the same in return." "Anytime."

Jake's smile disappeared. "Let's go, Jon."

Grace gnashed her teeth in anger as she watched them go.

An hour later, once Zoey had heard about everything, she was thoroughly amused.

"Xander has a younger brother? I was wondering why they resembled each other."

"Since when did he become the nouveau riche of Pamore? What's the standard of your finance magazine when choosing people?"

Zoey prepared a bowl of soup for her. "Let's cool you down first."

"He's rich. His status is even higher than that of Benjamin's. The Aether project went through a few rounds of bidding, and it finally came to him. He is fully qualified, both in terms of his power and money."

Grace knew this very well, but she was still unhappy about it.

"Fine. If you really dislike him that much, I'll take him off the headlines and stuff him in a part of the

Zoey coaxed her gently, and Grace finally laughed.

"Forget it. Do whatever you need to do. I'm not afraid of him."

Zoey nodded.

After dinner, Grace had just reached home when she received a call.

"Mr. Griffin?" She was surprised.

Shawn sounded very exasperated. "The restaurant's packed to the brim all because of you. I haven't even gotten off work yet."

Grace was bemused. "Because of me?"

"Have you forgotten what you did?"

After a few minutes, Grace remembered that she had posted a photo of herself and Xander having tea at the tea house.

A lot of netizens must have gone there to take photos afterward.

Grace was extremely embarrassed the

After a few moments of silence, there was a soft laugh on the other end of the phone. "Then, I really do thank you."

"You're welcome!" Grace said innocently.
