In the Lap of Luxury
Chapter 631 Just a Puff of Smoke

Victor stood up and opened the window for some fresh air. He was a health-conscious guy, rarely involved in smoking or drinking. "Give up and change course. There are many things in this world worth persisting for."

He was very rational.

Grace looked at him. "But all the effort and time in the past would go up in a puff of smoke. Don't you think it's a pity?"

"You should be happy. If those things keep lingering in your memory, you'll keep remembering and regretting them.

"Letting them become a puff of smoke allows you to completely let go, doesn't it?"

Victor played with a lighter in his hand as he spoke indifferently. With his personality, he had never been torn by such ethereal things.

Grace frowned, but she felt a sense of enlightenment.

Victor was right. That person never appeared all these years, indicating that they were not meant to be.

"Anyway, we chose the paths ourselves. We took the step for a reason."

Hearing this, Grace extinguished her cigarette.

"You really hit the nail on the head. But I really want to see what you will be like if you're bound by something one day."

Victor chuckled. "You're so mean. I'm comforting you, and you want to see me make a fool of myself?"

"I didn't..."

At this moment, Caleb returned and pushed the door open. "What are you guys talking about without me? You guys are giving off a weird vibe." "Not everyone is like you." Grace put on her coat. "Didn't you send Lydia home?"

Caleb sat down with a helpless expression. "She's afraid of being seen."

She wasn't ready to tell everyone that Caleb was her boyfriend, as it would have a huge impact on her life.

"Your road ahead is long and arduous." Grace patted his shoulder.

Annoyed, Caleb kicked her with his leg. Laughing, Grace left the private room. As she walked out of the restaurant, her smile faded.

Luke was waiting there.

When he saw her, he immediately reported, "I had someone check the records. The Hawkins family indeed has an elder son named Alexander, born to the original wife. "Benjamin is the son of the second wife. The two have a similar age and look."

Grace took a deep breath. It was as she suspected.

"I've been with the Hawkins family for three years and never knew they had another son."

Elizabeth never mentioned it, and Grace wouldn't have thought about it, let alone investigated it.

"I found that the Hawkins family

doesn't like Alexander. With the

suppression from Benjamin's el.net

mother, he had a hard time S

"After being accepted into the police academy, he became a cop."

It sounded like a complete stranger to Grace, nothing like the boy in her memories.

Grace was lost in thought. "What happened later?"

"We couldn't replace any further

about him after he

joined the police. It seems

longer in Pamore." Coptot

Benjamin never mentioned anything about this.

Irritated, Grace lit a cigarette.

Since this person was Benjamin's brother, it meant that Benjamin knew she mistook him for someone else back then.

Instead of explaining, he accepted this identity.

He deceived her for so many years!

"I've checked the number that sent you the message. It's deregistered, and there's no way to trace it."

"The person who sent the message

to me must know the truth. No matter what their purpose is, at least

they told me the truth and didn't let

me look like a fool."

Luke could tell that she wasn't in a good mood and wisely didn't say much, just waiting on the side.

The night wind was strong, blowing her head clear.

She held her phone, eventually choosing to turn it on.

Many messages flooded in, including some from Xander.

She didn't reply to his messages, and he seemed a bit anxious. Grace opened the messages directly and deleted the one with the video. Victor was right. It was just a puff of smoke. It should disappear completely.
