In the Lap of Luxury by Unsweetened Chestnuts

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?"
