Days of Our Lives: Xander puts his plan into action

Philip presented Xander with a forged letter from Victor Kiriakis. As such, Xander believed that Philip was partly the heir of Victor's fortune. As such, he tried his best to get along with his brother. Xander didn't know that many others were aware of this deceit, which included Vivian, who forged the letter, besides Kate, Stephanie and Sarah. However, Xander bonded with his sibling over a joint goal.

The spoilers suggest that Xander may want to take over DiMera Enterprises. He has set up a meeting with Mr. Wei Shin, the chairman of the board of DiMera Enterprises. The siblings will be seen concluding their business interaction with Mr. Shin, leaving Xander elated over the deal.

Mr. Shin is in close connection with Kristen DiMera, and the latter is interested in taking over Titan from the Kiriakis family. As such, it is unclear whether Xander has won the deal or if Shin is playing him.
