After breakfast, Nyla drove Mason to school while Damon headed directly to the office.On the way, Mason asked, "Mommy, is Daddy upset about something these past couple of days?"Nyla glanced at him. She and Damon hadn't told Mason about Prospectus Technology's bankruptcy, fearing it would upset him.At five years old, he likely wouldn't fully grasp its implications. Still, they had underestimated his perceptiveness. Even at his age, Mason could easily pick up on the emotions of the adults around him.Over the weekend, Damon had spent most of his time in the study, barely interacting with Mason. Naturally, Mason had noticed something was amiss.Reaching out, Nyla gently tousled his hair. "Yes, Daddy has been a little upset lately, but don't worry—he'll feel better soon."Mason nodded, though he didn't completely understand. "Okay."Before long, the car pulled up in front of Mason's kindergarten.After walking him inside, Nyla paused to speak with his teacher, Ms. Ferrier, at th

Nyla frowned. "What are you trying to say?"Gabriel hesitated before explaining, "On Friday, when I left Buddy in my office, the company's system suddenly had issues during that same timeframe. I—"She cut him off sharply, "Are you suggesting my five-year-old son somehow sabotaged your company's system? Do you even realize how ridiculous you sound?"Gabriel stood in silence, his expression awkward. Even he knew how absurd it sounded."I don't have time for your nonsense," Nyla commented. "Instead of pointing fingers at Buddy, maybe you should look into whether your system was already faulty."With that, she shoved past him and left.Gabriel stood there for a moment, watching her car disappear down the road before finally heading back to his vehicle.…As Mason walked into his kindergarten classroom, he quickly noticed his classmates giving him odd looks.He ignored them, found his seat, and waited quietly for the teacher to arrive.After a while, one of the children approache

It turned out Mason's father had gone bankrupt, which was why Mason's mother was considering marrying Wilhelm's father.Wilhelm stormed up to Mason and shoved him. "Mason, I won't let your mom marry my dad! Your family goes broke, and now your mom wants to marry my dad to become my stepmom? No way! I won't let you get what you want!"Mason nearly lost his balance but quickly steadied himself, his cold gaze locking onto Wilhelm.Despite being only five years old, there was already a trace of Damon's commanding aura in Mason's expression—a look that demanded respect and fear.It startled Wilhelm, making him instinctively take two steps back.Realizing their classmates were watching, Wilhelm forced himself to stand tall and glare back. "What are you staring at me for? I'm just telling the truth! Your mom's doing something shameless, and I'm not allowed to say anything about it?"He had made up his mind—there was no way Nyla would marry Gabriel!"My mom would never marry your dad. S

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

"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

"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

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

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

"What's up?" Jayden asked."You free for dinner tonight?" Yale invited.Jayden checked his schedule—no meetings, no social engagements.Raising an eyebrow, he asked, "Who else is coming?""Just the two of us," Yale replied."Alright, send me the details," Jayden said.…That evening, Jayden pulled up in front of a high-end restaurant in Saintornia.As he stepped out of his car, Yale's voice came from the side. "Jayden, what a coincidence. We arrived at the same time."Jayden looked over, then waited for Yale to catch up before they walked inside together.Once seated in a private room, Jayden studied Yale. "You asked me to dinner alone. There must be something you want to talk about."Yale chuckled. "Can't hide anything from you. Let's order first."After placing their orders and the server left, Yale leaned back and met Jayden's gaze. "What's your plan with Michelle and Brandon? Are you really trying to set them up?"Jayden's fingers tightened slightly around his glass. H

At present, nothing mattered to Brandon except Valarie. If Jayden insisted on forcing him to see Michelle, their friendship might not survive.Yale nodded. "Got it. I'll mention it, but I won't push it if he doesn't listen."He and Nolan had a clear view of the situation and weren't planning on getting too involved. They didn't want to end up stuck in the middle, trying to please both sides and failing.…The news of Brandon stepping down as CEO of the Sumner Group spread quickly through Saintornia.As soon as Michelle heard about it, she called Jayden."Jayden, I just saw online that Brandon resigned as CEO of the Sumner Group. What's going on?" Her voice trembled with worry.There was a brief silence on the other end before Jayden responded in a low voice. "I don't know yet. I'll ask around.""Jayden, do you think it's because of that exposé you had someone post online? Maybe you should have them take it down. I want to see him, but I don't want him to leave the Sumner Group

Valarie opened the door and stepped out.After she left, Brandon pulled out his phone and dialed Yale. "Got time for a drink tonight?""Sure. But last I checked, Valarie keeps a tight leash on you. You sure you can go drinking?" Yale asked.Hearing the teasing in Yale's voice, Brandon lowered his gaze. "She doesn't care what I do anymore."She didn't even want him now, so why would she care if he went out drinking?"Alright then. I'll call Nolan and Jayden. You and Jayden need to settle your beef anyway. You two fighting online all the time is just making people laugh at you," Yale grunted.Brandon frowned. "If you invite him, I'm not going. I don't want to see him."If Jayden showed up, the first thing he'd do was try to convince him to see Michelle. And right now, just hearing her name annoyed him.If it weren't for Michelle, things wouldn't have spiraled so far between him and Valarie."Fine, fine. I won't call him. See you at the usual place," Yale said."Yeah," Brandon h

Damon's tone turned icy as he heard the confidence in Brandon's voice. "You'd better be fully prepared for this.""Uncle Damon, don't worry about me. I know what I'm doing," Brandon reassured him.The company wasn't his biggest concern right now. There was something far more important.During this month off, he was determined to win Valarie back.As long as he stayed by her side, she wouldn't have time to spend with Stefan.Once they were back together, after a month, he'd return to work.It was the perfect plan."If that's the case, I have nothing more to say," Damon replied, clearly displeased, before hanging up.Brandon set down his phone and immediately drove to the Weir Group.After parking outside, he called Valarie. "Valarie, are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together.""I'm really busy today. I'll probably be working late," Valarie answered."That's fine. I can wait. We could grab a late-night snack instead," Brandon suggested.There was a brief silence on the

Brandon smiled. "I haven't set an exact timeline yet, but at a minimum, I'll be gone for a month.""A month? That's way too long! No, absolutely not. You can take a week at most.""Exactly. If you disappear for an entire month, the company may fall into chaos. We have several major deals lined up right now. Your absence would definitely cause problems."The shareholders protested.Finally, Wyatt spoke up, his voice firm. "Everyone, please calm down. Mr. Sumner has been working non-stop these past few years without a break. It's only reasonable that he take some time off now."As soon as he finished, another shareholder, Chester Baldwin, sneered. "Of course you'd want Mr. Sumner to take a break, Mr. Dodgson. After all, you've secretly been buying up shares from other shareholders over the past two years."You probably hold at least 10% of the company's stock by now, don't you? If Mr. Sumner steps down, you'll have a clear path to becoming the next CEO of the Sumner Group."There

The shareholders continued to talk over each other, giving Brandon no chance to speak.Only when they fell silent did he ask, "Are you finished?""Mr. Sumner, what kind of attitude is this? Your personal affairs caused this whole mess, yet you're acting as if it has nothing to do with you!" one shareholder demanded.Facing their angry glares, Brandon set the document in his hand aside."You've all said quite a bit, but the main point is that you want me to resign, right?" he said. "I can step down, but tell me, who do you plan to put in my place?"The shareholders exchanged uneasy glances.After a long pause, the lead shareholder spoke. "There are several capable shareholders in the company. We can select one of them to temporarily take over as CEO of the Sumner Group until you resolve your personal matters. Once that's done, you can return to your position."Brandon chuckled. "Mr. Dodgson, since you're speaking so confidently, I assume you've already decided on a replacement. D

For the next few years, Emerald would likely be too consumed with internal struggles to trouble Damon and Nyla.Nyla lowered her gaze. "Either way, what happens in Meristate no longer concerns us. I just want our family to stay together.""Mm," Damon murmured in agreement.…Over the next few days, Brandon focused solely on suppressing the online accusations of ingratitude. He worked late into the night, desperately trying to contain the fallout.Jayden stormed into Brandon's office, noticing that Brandon seemed more concerned with the company's reputation than visiting Michelle."Brandon, have you lost your mind over Valarie? You need to see Michelle today, no matter what!" Jayden demanded.Brandon's expression remained cold. "I already told you, I'm not going. I'm busy. Please leave."Jayden's face darkened as he grabbed the file from Brandon's hands. "Are you really willing to throw away our friendship over a woman?""She's not just any woman—she's my girlfriend. The woman

"It's not too early. It's just the right time," Valarie replied."Alright then," Nyla conceded and sat down beside her. "Well, on behalf of the baby, I'll say thank you in advance."Valarie reached out and gently touched Nyla's still-flat stomach. Her voice softened. "Baby, when you're born, your godmother will have an even bigger gift waiting for you.""What kind of gift?" Nyla asked.Valarie shot her a playful glance. "You'll find out when the time comes."As they chatted, Damon returned home. He was a little surprised to see Valarie but still greeted her, "Ms. Weir.""Good afternoon, Mr. Sumner," Valarie returned the greeting.Nyla turned to Damon. "Why are you back so early?""I came to grab a file. Figured I'd check in on you while I was here," Damon answered.Valarie rolled her eyes. "Hey, hey, can you not be so publicly affectionate? Some of us are still single, you know!"Nyla laughed. "Aren't you getting along pretty well with that younger guy?"At the mention of

Brandon's phone rang again.Seeing it was Damon, he took a deep breath before answering. "Uncle Damon.""What's going on with this trending news?" Damon asked.After a brief pause, Brandon replied, "I'll handle it. Don't worry about it.""I'm asking what happened. You and Jayden are friends. Why are you letting something this small turn into a scandal?" Damon questioned."It was my mistake. I promise I'll take care of it today," Brandon assured him."Good." Damon didn't say more before hanging up.Brandon set his phone down and immediately called the PR manager. "Get that trending topic taken down. No matter the cost."The PR manager hesitated. "Mr. Sumner, we've been trying to remove it. But each time we negotiate, the Gilmour Group raises their bid to keep it up. That's why it's still trending."Brandon frowned, silent for a long moment.The manager continued cautiously. "I remember you and Mr. Gilmour are close. Maybe you could speak to him directly and see what it would t
