In the Lap of Luxury

Chapter 317 Now You Know

Grace nodded obediently and said, "Don't worry, Xander, I understand."

"Well, now that Max is willing to be under your command, things will be much easier for you in Pamore in the future." Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Grace hadn't anticipated this. The way she saw it, she had just reluctantly taken on another follower.

Little did she know that this small act today had already caused a huge stir in the organized crime circle of Pamore.

…

Yvonne was completely unaware of what had happened.

At this moment, she was sitting in the VIP room of the hotel, fixing herself up. After dressing up, she smiled at herself in the mirror.

Just then, there was a knock, and Yvonne brightened up, quickly opening the door.

"Darling, you finally came."

The door opened.

She was familiar with Shane, but unlike before, he was accompanied by several burly men today.

Yvonne's face fell, and she asked, "Shane, why are you here with so many people today?"

Shane looked serious. He didn't answer her question. Instead, he waved his hand, and the people behind him retreated. Then, he entered the room and closed the door.

Yvonne approached, "Shane, what's going on today? Are you upset? Let me change that."

As she spoke, Yvonne's hand began to wander, gradually tracing downward until it almost reached his groin.

But Shane grabbed her hand and stopped her.

"Enough! I'm not in the mood today."

Yvonne was stunned. In all these years, Shane had never spoken to her in such a tone. When she snapped out of it, she still smiled.

"Shane, how did you handle Grace's matter? Is she dead now?"

At the mention of Grace, Shane turned around and looked at Yvonne. "What do you think?"

Yvonne noticed nothing unusual with his behavior and continued, "Hahaha, that wretched Grace is finally completely gone. Now, no one would step on me anymore."

Hearing her, Shane said lightly, "You should stop daydreaming."

Yvonne's face faltered. "What do you mean? Did you make a mistake?"

Shane stared at her and mocked, "Yvonne, of all people, why did you have to piss off Grace? Even I underestimated her."

Shane was beginning to regret this.

Why had he helped Yvonne? He had thought Grace was just an ordinary rich kid. Who would have thought that even Max would submit to her and allow her to order them around? He was Max's subordinate and was no match for Grace.

"Shane, what do you mean? Is Grace still alive?"

Shane nodded.

Yvonne's face turned pale. She knew Grace, and if she was still alive, she would surely investigate the truth behind this matter. Would it lead back to her?

"Shane, Grace won't find out about me, will she?"

Shane reached out and touched her head, then lifted her chin. "What's wrong? Are you scared now?"

For the first time, Yvonne felt like Shane's gaze was unfamiliar and somewhat frightening.

"Shane, will you protect me? You won't hand me over to Grace, will you?"

Yvonne sobbed tearfully, "Please, Shane! Don't hand me over to Grace! I beg you!"
