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.
