In the Lap of Luxury

Chapter 312 Meeting Max

Emily hummed and said, "That vile woman is becoming more and more arrogant."

Grace tried to calm her down. "Let her gloat some more. Her time will come. I'll settle the score between her and me."

There was a glint in Grace's eyes.

After she hung up, Luke walked in. "Ms. Lewis, we've contacted Max. He has invited us to meet at Panola Manor tomorrow at 8 pm."

A sly smile appeared on Grace's lips. "Tell him we'll be sure to arrive on time."

Luke reminded her, "Should we inform the headquarters in Frenda and arrange for some men as backup?" Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

"There's no need. Bring our local security personnel. We're meeting him out in the open. This is a lawful society. They won't do anything foolish."

"Yes, Ms. Lewis."

After Luke left, Grace looked out of the window, overlooking the entire city.

She tapped rhythmically on the desk as if she were calculating something.

…

The next evening, a group of bodyguards waited at the entrance of Amirate Corporation at 7:00 pm.

Grace didn't tell anyone about the meeting. She got into the car and went alone.

The black car was modified to look sleek. It cruised along the road and finally arrived at Panola Manor.

"We're here, Ms. Lewis."

Grace was dressed in a black suit. She looked very elegant and graceful as she got out of the car and walked in.

Just as she arrived at the door, she heard a chuckle.

"Ms. Lewis, you're brave to come alone. It's truly admirable."

Grace looked up to see a man in his 40s sitting in the main seat. He was chubby. He clearly gained weight as he aged.

"Max, I've heard so much about you!"

Grace walked in confidently. Only then did she notice the man sitting next to Max, who had been watching her since she had entered.

She recognized him.

It was the man in the photo with Yvonne, the one called Shane.

Shane's eyes darkened as he fell into deep thought.

"Ms. Lewis, please have a seat!" Max greeted Grace.

Then, he instructed someone to get her a drink. "What are you waiting for? Pour my best wine for Ms. Lewis."

Grace didn't even falter.

Her gaze fell on the chessboard in front of Max. They seemed to be in the middle of a game of chess, and the situation was evenly matched, with no clear winner yet.

"Ms. Lewis, any thoughts on my chess game?" Max couldn't help but ask with a glint in his eyes.

He had no other hobbies in life and happened to be fond of chess. But he hadn't encountered a worthy opponent in so many years, which troubled him.

Grace hadn't come here to play chess today. She had come to demand an explanation.

So she smiled faintly and replied, "I've learned chess before, but my skills are not refined enough to play professionally."

Shane couldn't help but smile and say, "Ms. Lewis, you're too modest."

Then, he turned to Max. "Max, why not have a game with Ms. Lewis?"

Max was intrigued. "Sure! Ms. Lewis, what do you think?"

Grace raised an eyebrow. She hadn't forgotten her purpose for coming here. "Max, shouldn't you give me an explanation for what your people did at Dunhill recently?"
