In the Lap of Luxury
Chapter 579 You Should Have a Happy Ending

Grace was surprised. "I couldn't tell."

Caleb smiled bitterly. "Of course you couldn't. I wasn't even sure about what I wanted."

He still remembered how things had been when he had lived at Lewis Residence.

On the outside, he had always been energetic and optimistic, and everyone liked him. But the truth was that he had always felt like he was walking on eggshells because he was adopted.

On one of his birthdays, Harold had given him the exact same present as the previous year. Caleb had suppressed his disappointment and exclaimed that he really liked it. He had even given Harold a big hug, and everyone had been happy.

Lydia had been a guest there too. When the party had ended, she had given her gift to Caleb and said softly, "I know that you didn't really like that gift. I also know why you didn't say anything.

"Happy birthday. I hope that you will be able to express your emotions honestly in the future."

Caleb had been stunned. Then he had watched Lydia's slender, obstinate figure leave.

The next day, Harold's secretary had apologized to him, saying that the gifts had been mixed up because of how busy work had been.

Caleb had said that he didn't mind. "I've already received the best gift."

It was the gift Lydia had given him. It was a necklace that she had made herself, which had a shiny little moon dangling from it. The way she had understood him had also been the best gift. After that, the two of them hadn't had the chance to meet often, and when they did, it had mostly been because of Grace.

When Caleb had risen to fame as a celebrity, he had met all kinds of women. But none of them had made him feel special the way Lydia did. She even appeared in his dreams.

But it had been difficult for them to meet, and she had kept avoiding him ...

Afterward, he had found out that she liked him, but he had hesitated again because of who he was. He was afraid that he would defile her ...

"Gracie, it's been so many years. I don't want to lose this chance again."

Grace understood how he felt. She nodded and asked earnestly, "Do you know what the consequences of making your relationship official will be?"

"I'll lose fans, and my business value will decrease. That doesn't matter. You've forgotten that I rely on my skills as an artist and that I don't care about popularity." Grace laughed.

"It's just a pity that I won't be able to help you maximize your profits." He lowered his eyes.

"If it were any other celebrity, from the perspective of their boss, I would force them to deny the relationship," Grace said seriously.

"But you're my brother. I want you to be happy."

Caleb's eyes filled with tears at this. "You're just saying that because you want to see me cry."

Grace laughed and wiped his tears away. "Lydia's waited for you for so many years. The two of you should have a happy ending. Do you want to give her a surprise?" "What do you mean?"

"There are still two days left until the gala. You can carefully think about whether you want to go through with this decision. You can also think about how you want to confess to her." Grace smiled slyly. If they were going to publicize it, then they should make a grand show of it!

She left the conference room and gave Ashley instructions. "For the next two days, don't take any calls from the media, and don't let anyone approach Caleb. However, you can add oil to the fire in terms of the speculation."

Ashley had calmed down to some extent, but her temper flared up again when she heard that.

"Why? If we don't make a statement as soon as possible, they'll assume that we're admitting the news is true!"

"Then, just leak out some ambiguous statements. In any case, we mustn't let the interest die down."

Ashley couldn't understand what Grace wanted to do. She looked resigned. "Caleb's relationship might trend for a month with no problems."

That was true.

Luke had been waiting for a long time. He handed Grace her phone. "Mr. Fulton called you several times."

Grace called back, and Xander picked up at once. "Grace."

"Have you found out too? So fast?"

Xander laughed. "Caleb is very popular, and all the international media companies are fighting to report about it. There's so many people despairing at the news that it's difficult not to hear about it." Grace laughed too.

"Is he okay?"

"He's alright. I've hidden him away so that the media can't replace him."

Xander was surprised. "You're against their relationship?"

Grace pretended to sound mysterious. "Hmm... You'll replace out when you get back! What time is your flight on Saturday?"
