In the Lap of Luxury

It was widely believed that the future of the Fulton Group rested on Xander's shoulders.

In a circle like this, it was rare to find someone who was not corrupt.

Xander picked up his cup, the warmth radiating from his fingertips. "I pursued Grace with the intention of having a future with her."

One sentence reassured Aaron.

When smart people conversed, they just needed a few words to get the whole picture. Aaron seemed satisfied.

"You must always remember what you said tonight. If Grace ever gets hurt again, I'll hunt you down."

Xander gently placed the cup back on the saucer with a soft clink.

The next day, during the morning meeting at Fulton Group, two changes were announced.

Firstly, the contract with Brooke Group had been terminated. After the compensation, Brooke Group would be blacklisted. So, they had to select a new material supplier. Secondly, Hazel was demoted for withholding information.

These two changes immediately stirred up a storm. No one had expected Hazel, who had been with Xander for so many years, to be suddenly demoted.

This matter even alarmed Raymond. "I understand why you got rid of Sean, but what did Hazel do wrong? Why are you banishing her to the branch office?"

"I'm just dealing with my secretary. Why do you have to ask about it? Are you too free?"

Xander smiled faintly, showing his rebellious side.

Seeing him like this, Raymond understood that Xander was truly angry. He softened his tone.

"I asked Peter. It was indeed Grace's request not to inform you. Hazel followed the instructions, so it can't be considered wrong. At most, she's just not quick-witted enough." Xander remained expressionless.

Those who reached such positions were all astute. Hazel knew what to do, but she had deliberately hid from him.

This indicated she had ulterior motives, something Xander wouldn't tolerate.

"I'm just reminding you not to be too hasty in your actions. Hazel has been with you for many years. If you deal with your people ruthlessly, others will be afraid to work with you." Raymond's words made sense.

Xander turned to the side. "Let her gain experience first. I may bring her back up depending on her performance."

Meanwhile, at Lewis Manor, everyone in the Lewis family knew about the news of Caleb's relationship. After all, it had spread worldwide.

Harold couldn't stop praising Lydia. "Lydia is good. She's a good girl."

Some were happy, but some were sad.

With Caleb finding a partner, Victor who rarely visited home, was

pushed into attending numero ne

social events, all with the goal of finding him a girlfriend.

Victor retorted, "Aaron doesn't have anyone either. Shouldn't you have him attend these events first?"

Harold swung his crutch at Victor's leg. "If you dare to make him attend, please do so."

Victor fell silent at his words.

Grace laughed loudly. Hearing that, Victor changed his target. "Gracie, since you have nothing to do, why don't you come with me?" Like he had done before, she fell silent.

The resources of heirs and heiresses were mostly controlled by the wealthy women of the circle. Most of the gatherings consisted of these people. Sitting at the head was Isla Travis, whose husband had made his fortune in trade with assets worth billions of dollars.

She grabbed Victor's arm. "It's been

many years, and you've grown quite handsome. Not bad. With your assets, many political and business daughters will be vying for you. What are you doing now?"

Everyone knew that the second son of the Lewis family was the most mysterious. He hadn't shown his face for years.

Victor smiled faintly. "I repair computers."

Isla's smile froze on her face.

On the side, Jean Pena quickly intervened, trying to smooth things over. "Repairing computers must be a child's play for him. Anyway, he'll surely have a share of the Lewis family's assets in the future."

"I have no intention of taking money from my family." Victor remained calm.

Grace couldn't help but chuckle.

The atmosphere became awkward. Everyone looked at each other, understanding that this guy was there to stir up trouble. He had no intention of marrying.
