In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 644

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."
