Chapter 547 Getting Back Before ck Friday


    Grace sounded very excited. "I''m not sleepy yet."


    "Let me guess, you''ve resolved the issue with Byte Technologies and can''t sleep from excitement?"


    Grace was somewhat surprised. This matter had been resolved before the news reached overseas.


    "Did Matthew tell you?"


    Xander didn''t answer. Instead, he said, "I have my ways of finding out. Just tell me if it''s true."


    "Sort of," Grace admitted while fidgeting with a pillow in her arms.


    "I didn''t want to tell you to avoid distracting you."


    "Ah, my Gracie has her ways of solving problems."


    His voice was maic andced with affection. It made Grace flush.


    "What about you? Are things going smoothly there?"


    Smoothly?


    As Grace asked, Xander sat in his office at Fulton Group, bathed in sunlight, while Hazel brought


    him coffee and toast.


    Xander had shaken up Jake''s connections within Fulton Group in just a few days and had almost


    reshuffled the entirepany. No one dared to underestimate him as the future heir anymore.


    "All is well."


    "Don''t overwork yourself. If that Jake troubles you, tell me. I''ll teach him a lesson!" Her fierce yet


    somehow childlike tone made Xanderugh.


    "He already despises you for spiking his coffee withxatives. If he sees you again, he might not


    hold back."


    "I''m not afraid of him."


    Her voice streamed through the phone. Hazel paused upon hearing her words.

    From her years of experience, Hazel could tell Grace was a woman of substance. She was smart


    and courageous, without losing her femininity.


    Xander indulged her deeply. "I''ll get back before ck Friday."


    Grace was surprised. "What about Fulton Group?"


    "There''s time."


    "Are youing back because of me?" As she asked that, Grace couldn''t help but close her eyes,


    anxiously waiting for his response.


    Xander chuckled softly. "What else could it be?"


    Grace felt her heart skip a beat.


    After advising her to rest early, he hung up.


    Hazel couldn''t help but speak up. "With Fulton Group''s matters still pending, rushing back before


    ck Friday might be a stretch."


    Xander''s lingering smile faded, and he said, "Ms. Yale, you''re speaking out of turn."


    Hazel immediately nodded and replied, "I''ll ensure everything goes well."


    "And Benjamin?"


    "As you suspected, he wasn''t directly involved. We''re still looking into who the real perpetrator is."


    When the scandal about Matthew had been exposed, Xander had received news and quickly


    identified the instigator. However, he had refrained from acting. His abilities were limited since he


    was overseas.


    He had trusted that Grace would be able to solve the problem.


    "Keep an eye on that lead. I''m curious to see what secrets he has."


    Hazel nodded, then remembered and continued, "Last night, after your father visited your mother,


    he finally went to the hospital to see Prisci. She admitted everything without making a scene."


    Xander wasn''t surprised.


    "Aunt Prisci has been manipting my father with the same tactic for years."


    Guilt wouldn''t nurture love, but it could soften one''s heart.


    "Your father is still furious. Jake probably won''t return anytime soon."


    Xander took a pen from the holder. "It''s only a matter of time. Jake''s still his son. He won''t get rid of


    him forever."


    Hazel observed the upright and transparent man before her. He always acted openly and directly,


    but the thoughts he harbored privately were profoundly intricate and dark.
