In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 606

Grace was close enough to hear Aaron's words and stuck out her tongue.

Xander patted her head gently and braced himself for the scolding.

Aaron didn't dwell on it further and changed the subject.

"I attended a meeting today and ran into Jake."

Xander was startled when he heard this. Then, he regained his composure.

Nobody else was aware that Xander had a brother. He didn't expect Aaron to know. Turns out this was an unspoken secret amongst the elites of Frenda.

"The meeting was about foreign trade distribution. Jake was there.

"He was injured, sitting at the back. He didn't recognize me. I heard you demoted him."

"It's temporary. He can still be of use when the time comes."

"After the meeting ended, I saw Uncle Raymond teaching him a lesson as I was leaving the parking lot."

Xander understood the reason but remained silent for a moment.

"Jake's still his son, after all. You should be cautious."

Aaron was clearly giving a heartfelt warning.

"I understand."

Xander immediately caught on. A hint was all he needed.

After hanging up, Aaron sat pondering.

His secretary asked, "Mr. Lewis, what are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking about what kind of person my future brother-in-law is."

Aaron thought of how Jake was willing to risk everything to return to headquarters even after Xander had demoted him.

Raymond was intent on compensating him. But right after the meeting, Jake fell for Xander's second setup.

A conniving man was not to be taken lightly.

The secretary seemed to miss the point.

"Ms. Lewis has a boyfriend?"

Aaron put on a straight face.

"I'm still not sure if he could be my brother-in-law."

Meanwhile, Xander returned the phone to Grace. She caught his finger and shook it playfully.
