In the Lap of Luxury by Unsweetened Chestnuts

Raymond nodded, feeling somewhat relieved.

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."

"I know. I met her last time. She's indeed different. Xander is really lucky," Jake said with a half-smile. "It's worth it for him to give up work for her."

Xander remained silent, narrowing his eyes.

"You should thank Jake. If he hadn't been mediating with the committee these days, they would have asked for you to be impeached.

"As a president, how can you leave the company without any news for a week?" Raymond scolded.

"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."
