He turned to Jake, who had been quietly listening. "Grace is the apple of the Lewises' eyes. She's like a half-sister to you. You'll have a chance to meet her in the future."

"Yes, I should thank Jake," Xander said without arguing. "Anyway, I left Hazel at the company to handle the work."

"You're the president of this company. If you don't approve those projects and funds, would your employees dare to start working?" Raymond was genuinely angry.

Jake interjected, "Dad, don't get worked up. Xander is back now. The future of the company still depends on him."

"I already know about Aether Group's project. Jake is willing to take the blame and go to Pamore to oversee the project."
