In the Lap of Luxury
Chapter 625 Gift

"It's just a hobby."

Shawn observed Xander. This was a man completely different from Benjamin. The latter had grown up in struggles for power and had been tainted by money.

However, Xander appeared to be like a refreshing breeze, unaffected by the storms.

This demeanor must have developed in an extremely relaxed environment.

"Mr. Griffin, your gaze is quite sharp. It's good to have the ability to discern the ways of the world."

Xander spoke up, stopping his scrutiny.

Shawn finally nodded. "Ms. Lewis doesn't owe me anything. She's just being polite. Don't worry about it, Mr. Fulton. Just treat me as a passerby."

"Gracie and I have never been ungrateful. Moreover, you've been so considerate, giving her a private room during the busy opening.

"I'll remember this favor. You can replace us anytime, so we can repay it."

Xander fiddled with the ring in his hand, seemingly serious but carefree.

Gracie. Shawn had never heard of this address before.

He looked at Grace and saw her nod. "Yeah. By the way, I'm sorry I didn't let you meet Caleb at the gala."

She still remembered. Shawn smiled helplessly. "It doesn't matter. Witnessing his heartfelt confession was already a feast for the eyes."

Grace chuckled. "Caleb likes to show off. He's very happy when doing such things."

"It's normal to feel happy when confessing to a loved one." Shawn suddenly recalled.

"His necklace was very nice. You can tell that his partner is a skilled person. Probably a designer?"

"My God." Grace was shocked. "You have a sharp eye. I can't believe you noticed that."

"Just some careful observation and guessing. It's nothing special."

While the two were talking, Xander leaned against the chair and observed Shawn.

Grace asked him, "Xander, did you notice Caleb's necklace? I even told Lydia that I envied Caleb."

It was just an adorable, casual remark, but Xander looked at her. "Why envy? You have one, too."

"Have what?"

The next moment, Xander took out a wooden box. "I promised to give you a gift. Here it is."

He had mentioned it before, but with

so much happening, Grace had long forgotten. She didn't expect him

remember it all along. S

"What is it?" Grace felt a bit embarrassed to open it in front of Shawn.

"Mr. Griffin is not a stranger. Go ahead and open it."

Shawn's eyes darkened slightly.

The pattern on the wooden box was

= My made by a master. S

the box was so exquisite, the ince

inside wouldn't be ordinary S

And indeed...

"T-This necklace..." Grace picked it

up in

rprise and looked at the

I red ruby on it. "This.net

familiar. Is this Eternal L

Love?"

Xander nodded. "Yes, the one you showed me from a magazine during your school days."

Back then, Grace had been neglecting her studies and delving into fashion design, often studying fashion magazines.

One day, she came across a red ruby necklace and excitedly showed it to him.

"The Queen of Mardovia wore this in the last century. It's dedicated to her beloved. That's why it's named Eternal Love. "Oh my God, how romantic! Look, Xander. Isn't it beautiful?"

In Xander's eyes at the time, there was only her lively and animated expression. "It is."

"It's a pity it disappeared..."

She had short-lived enthusiasm. After saying this, she forgot about it. However, Xander remembered it.

When he received news about the necklace, he immediately had someone buy it at the auction.
