The first room—empty.The second room—also empty.By the time Nyla had checked every room, there was still no sign of Mason. Her patience was wearing thin, and her emotions were teetering on the edge of breaking.Gabriel's voice broke the tense silence behind her. "Nyla, don't worry. Buddy is in a very safe place. You just need to—"Slap!Before he could finish, Nyla spun around and slapped him hard across the face.The crisp sound echoed down the hallway, plunging it into silence.A bright red handprint bloomed on Gabriel's cheek, stark and glaring. Yet, instead of anger, he let out a faint laugh. "Nyla, you still don't trust me, do you? You still think I'd hurt you, is that it?"Nyla's gaze was icy. "I'll ask you one more time. Where is Buddy? If you don't tell me, I'll call the police."Gabriel might use gentle words, but his actions spoke differently. From his underhanded tactics that had brought down Prospectus Technology to taking Mason without her consent, everything he

Gabriel's expression changed when he saw the police. He hadn't expected Nyla to actually follow through and call them.One of the officers turned to him, his tone stern. "Is what Ms. Kinsey said true? Where is the child? If you don't hand him over, we'll have to treat this as a kidnapping case and take you into custody."Gabriel forced a smile and glanced at Nyla. "Nyla, didn't you just say you already know where Buddy is? Why involve the police if you've already found him?"Nyla scowled. "Yes, I know where he is, but the location requires your fingerprint for access. Now that the police are here, don't try any more tricks."A flicker of surprise crossed Gabriel's face. He hadn't expected her to figure out where Mason was being kept. That location indeed required his fingerprint to enter.When he'd taken Mason earlier, he had anticipated that Nyla would come looking for him, so he had locked the boy in his company office.Since Nyla already knew, and with the police present, cont

Nyla quickly comforted Mason. "I'm sorry, sweetheart. Mommy's late."She hugged and consoled him for a long while before he finally calmed down, though his little body still trembled with occasional sobs, his cheeks streaked with tears.Nyla gently wiped his tears away, her voice soft. "No more crying now, okay? Mommy's taking you home."Mason sniffled. "Okay."When Nyla stood up, she noticed Gabriel still lingering nearby and frowned. "Why are you still here?"Gabriel ignored her question. He crouched down and looked directly at Mason. "Buddy, tell me—how did you get out of the office?"The security systems at Nyce Tech had always been flawless, yet right after locking Mason in his office, everything had gone haywire.It seemed impossible, but Gabriel couldn't shake the suspicion that somehow Mason was involved.Mason's eyes mirrored his mother's disdain. "Why should I tell you? You're a bad man! I hate you!"If it hadn't been for this man, he would have been home, enjoying d

No one dared to answer. In truth, they had made no progress—neither fixing the bug nor stabilizing the system.The silence in the conference room was suffocating.Heads lowered, each person desperate to avoid eye contact with Gabriel.Their collective silence only fueled his anger. He slammed the files on the table. "Get back to work! If this isn't resolved today, don't expect to leave!"Relieved to escape his presence, the team scrambled out of the room.Left alone, Gabriel pulled out his phone and reviewed the security footage from his office. He rewound to the moment right after he had locked Mason inside.At first, Mason tried the door but quickly realized it was locked. Then he began wreaking havoc—knocking over a teapot, pulling a painting off the wall, scattering important documents across the floor, and gleefully stomping on them.Gabriel's jaw tightened as he watched the destruction unfold, veins bulging in his temple.He continued to watch. Mason hopped onto Gabriel's

Hearing that, Nyla instinctively bit her lip and lingered at the door momentarily. In the end, she sighed quietly and walked away without saying anything more.When she returned to the living room, Lydia immediately approached her. "Ms. Kinsey, how is Mr. Sumner?"Nyla shook her head. "He's fine, don't worry. But he still doesn't want to come out to eat. Just keep the food warm for him tonight and take it to him whenever he feels like eating."Lydia nodded quickly. "Got it. Ms. Kinsey, you should go have dinner.""Okay," Nyla said, though she didn't have much of an appetite.Between Prospectus Technology's bankruptcy and Mason being forcibly taken by Gabriel earlier in the day, she was utterly exhausted, both mentally and physically.Despite that, she had to force herself to eat for Damon and Mason's sake. They both needed her to stay strong.She sat down at the dining table, and Mason frowned slightly upon noticing it was just the two of them."Mommy, isn't Daddy coming to eat

However, things might change once Damon regained his footing.Hearing Caroline's unspoken caution, Nyla lowered her gaze and said earnestly, "I know you're saying this for my own good, but Damon is worth it."He spent five years alone without knowing if I was even alive, and he never let another woman into his life. I trust him. Even if I lose this bet, I won't regret it.""Alright," Caroline relented. "As long as you've thought it through. I'll support you no matter what. But if you stay in Saintornia, it'll be hard for us to see each other again."Caroline had decided to remain in Capitarnia while still studying there. Over the years, she had saved enough to buy a place for herself. Even before Nyla's return, Caroline was already searching for a property."That's okay. As long as we keep each other in our hearts, no distance is too far. Besides, our little family of three might move to Capitarnia someday. We'll have chances to meet," Nyla replied.Caroline chuckled. "Alright. I

"I know," Damon replied.Looking at his expressionless face, Lydia hesitated for a moment before cautiously asking, "Mr. Sumner, what's your plan from here?""I'm not sure yet. For now, I'll handle the company's remaining affairs," Damon answered.Filing for bankruptcy didn't mean everything was finished. There was still a mountain of follow-up work to manage. Now that he had accepted Prospectus Technology's bankruptcy, his immediate priorities were tying up loose ends and suing Nyce Tech for stealing the company's core data.Lydia finally breathed a sigh of relief upon noticing that, despite his exhaustion, Damon didn't look utterly defeated. As long as he hadn't lost hope, that was what mattered. What she feared most was that Damon might crumble under the blow and let his thoughts spiral into something irreversible."Mr. Sumner, you didn't eat dinner last night. You must be hungry. Let me make you some breakfast. What would you like?" she asked.Damon pondered before answer

"Alright. I'll keep paying your salary during these three months," Damon replied.Spencer shook his head. "That's not necessary. I've been working nonstop for years. I'll treat this time as a break to recharge."Besides, Spencer thought Damon would need the money if he planned to start over. Paying him would only add to Damon's burden.Damon, who had spent years navigating the business world, easily saw through Spencer's intentions but chose not to point them out.He nodded. "Alright then.""If there's nothing else, Mr. Sumner, I'll head out. Please don't hesitate to call or message if you need anything," Spencer said."Mm," Damon hummed in response.After Spencer left, Damon turned on his computer and got to work.Upstairs in the bedroom…Nyla woke from a nightmare, gasping for breath. She looked around, taking a few moments to realize she was in the bedroom, then ran downstairs.She pushed open the study's door to find Damon seated at the desk, working. A wave of relief was

Nyla had wanted to discuss things properly with Mason, to make him open up slowly and tell her the truth.Now, she felt the urgency to figure out how that money had come about as soon as possible.She rarely spoke so sternly to Mason, so he was startled and dropped the block on the floor.Mason's eyes were red, but he stared at Nyla defiantly, refusing to speak.Nyla pressed, "Buddy, who is this master of yours?"Why would they give Mason so much money out of the blue?"I won't say!" Mason responded firmly.Nyla's brow furrowed in anger as her patience wore thin. "If you don't tell me, I'll take away all your electronics starting today."Mason yelled, "I hate you, Mommy! You're not the loving mommy you used to be anymore!"After shouting, he spun on his heel and ran upstairs.Moments later, the slam of his door echoed through the villa.Hearing the commotion, Damon emerged from the study and walked into the living room. He saw Nyla standing there, visibly upset."What happe

Damon had never met anyone from the Nixons, but it was clear they had ties to both Drake and Mason.He sensed it wouldn't be long before he encountered someone from this enigmatic family. When that moment came, he hoped to finally uncover their motives for involving Mason.…That evening, when Damon returned to the villa, he called Nyla into the study."I have something important to tell you," he said, his tone serious.Noticing his expression, Nyla looked puzzled. "What is it? Does it have to do with the money in Buddy's account?"Damon nodded. "Yes. Five years ago, shortly after Rebecca returned to the country, a mysterious group abroad began investigating you."Later, I discovered that the person behind the investigation was Drake Mummery, a senior executive at MK Company in Meristate. He's connected to the Nixons—a powerful family in Meristate."Today, I found out that all the money in Buddy's account came from someone within the Nixons."Nyla's face turned serious, a mix

Mason nodded. "I know. That's the money I earned myself.""You earned?" Nyla repeated.The couple stared at Mason in disbelief. How could a five-year-old possibly earn that kind of money?Damon frowned and crouched beside him. "Buddy, do you know there's 1 trillion dollars in that account? Do you understand how much that is?"Mason shook his head. "No... but it really is the money I earned."Damon asked, "Then tell Daddy, how did you earn it?"Mason hesitated, his expression conflicted. "Daddy... can I not tell you?"He had promised the person who helped him earn the money that he wouldn't reveal anything about it."Buddy, if you don't tell us, we can't be sure if this money is really yours," Damon replied gently but firmly.Mason thought for a moment before shaking his head again. "I can't say."Damon was about to push further when Nyla placed a hand on his arm, stopping him.She turned to Mason, smiling softly. "Okay, if you don't want to tell us, we won't force you. Go ba

Damon remained silent, his face set in a grim expression. If this card truly contained the staggering amount claimed, the situation was anything but reassuring.After verifying the balance at the bank, his expression grew even darker.Sensing something amiss—especially given Damon's lack of joy—Spencer grew uneasy."Mr. Sumner... isn't it good that the card holds this much money?" he asked hesitantly.Damon's gaze sharpened. "Head back to the office. I need to deal with something at home.""Understood," Spencer replied, though confusion lingered on his face.Damon left swiftly.Spencer stood by, watching the car disappear down the road, his thoughts clouded.Shouldn't they be celebrating? With this amount, saving the company should have been a sure thing.…Less than an hour later, Damon arrived at the villa.Nyla was lounging in the living room, watching TV.When she saw him enter, her brow furrowed slightly. "Why are you back so early?"Damon settled across from her, pla

The bodyguards hesitated before quickly leaving.Gabriel turned back to Damon with a grin. "Now can we talk?"Damon walked into his office without a word, and Gabriel followed.Sitting behind his desk, Damon glared at him coldly. "What do you want to discuss?"Gabriel smiled. "Mr. Sumner, with Prospectus Technology on the brink of bankruptcy, it's pointless to keep spending money fighting Nyce Tech in court. How about I give you some money, and you drop the lawsuit? What do you think?"Damon's expression hardened. "I doubt you can afford the price I have in mind.""I'm offering 10 billion dollars. You can take the money and start fresh. How about it?" Gabriel proposed.He had considered the amount for a long time, clearly confident that Damon wouldn't refuse.Silence filled the office.After a long pause, Damon snickered. "Gabriel, you colluded with Henry to steal Prospectus Technology's core trade secrets. Now you want me to let you off the hook for 10 billion dollars? Dream

Nyla reached out and hugged Damon. "I'm not going to leave you. Whether you're the CEO of Prospectus Technology or just an ordinary person, you're still the one I love. I love you—not the company behind you.""Nyla, I'm sorry. I've been too sensitive lately," Damon said, his voice heavy with remorse."It's not your fault. It's normal to have moments of self-doubt when facing such a major setback. You just need to remember one thing: I'm never going to leave you. That's all that matters," she replied softly.Damon didn't say anything more. Instead, he tightened his embrace around Nyla.Suddenly, the sound of small footsteps echoed through the quiet room.They both turned toward the staircase and saw Mason coming downstairs in his pajamas.Damon released Nyla and faced the boy. "Buddy, why aren't you asleep yet?"Without answering, Mason ran up to them, clutching a card in his small hands. He held it out to Damon. "Daddy, I heard your company is in trouble because there's no money

"Nyla, I promise this won't happen again," Gabriel assured.Nyla didn't respond. She simply took Mason's hand and walked away.Gabriel and Wilhelm stood there for a moment before finally leaving, neither of them noticing the figure watching from the corner of the hospital lobby.Brandon dialed Damon's number again. "Uncle Damon, you don't need to come. Aunt Nyla already left with Buddy."I asked around and found out that Buddy and Wilhelm fought at school this morning. Aunt Nyla and Gabriel were here to get them checked out, but they've already gone their separate ways."There was a pause before Damon's cold voice came through the line. "Got it."Then he hung up.…When Nyla brought Mason home, Lydia looked surprised to see him. "Ms. Kinsey, why isn't Mr. Mason at school?""He'll stay home with me today. Buddy, go wash your hands and change your clothes," Nyla said.Mason nodded and ran upstairs.Lydia didn't press further but mentioned, "Mr. Sumner called earlier to check i

"You're Mommy's most precious treasure. If you ever got hurt from fighting, it would break my heart," Nyla said.Mason hung his head, staying quiet for a while before finally nodding. "Okay, I understand.""Good. We'll go to the hospital now. After the checkup, I'll take you home if everything's fine, and you can skip school for today," Nyla explained.Mason nodded. "Okay."…When they arrived at the hospital, Gabriel and Wilhelm were already waiting at the entrance.Nyla held Mason's hand as they approached them, her expression cold. "Let's go."Noticing her frosty demeanor, Gabriel stepped closer and lowered his voice. "Nyla, this was really just an accident."Nyla replied coolly, "You don't need to explain. I don't care."With that, she quickened her pace, making it clear she didn't want to continue the conversation.Gabriel watched her slender figure as she walked away, his gaze darkening."Daddy, you're hurting my hand!" Wilhelm's complaint broke through Gabriel's thoug

Gabriel nodded. "I understand. But I know both children's personalities well. Buddy isn't the type to start trouble. Wilhelm, on the other hand, has been difficult at home lately. I'd guess this was his doing again, wasn't it?"Laura's expression changed before she nodded. "Based on what I've gathered, it seems that Wilhelm insulted Mason first, which led to the fight."However, Mason threw the first punch, so he's not entirely blameless."Nyla, who had remained silent until now, spoke up. "Ms. Ferrier, what exactly did Wilhelm say to Buddy?"Laura looked troubled. She hesitated, clearly reluctant to share. The things Wilhelm had said were inappropriate, and she felt awkward repeating them in front of the parents."H-He said something about you wanting to marry Mr. Hackett and become his stepmother," she finally managed to say.The room went quiet again.Nyla let out a cold laugh and turned to Gabriel. "Did you teach him to say that?"Gabriel's expression changed slightly. "Nyl
