Disclaimer: I've had an idea on how to resolve my problem, but if you have a better idea, please post it.

You have a few options:

Remove the scene - Might work, but will remove the other information you need. You'll need to find a way to implement that information somewhere else.
Remove anything that would show the truth. Simply never show anything that shows how the brother doesn't know what's going on. The problem here is that the reader will wonder why the brother isn't interested in those things.
Play it vague - Use pronouns and clever wording to make it seem like the brother knows what is going on, when in reality he either does not or is talking about something else. Tricky, but might be your best option.
