Chapter 1115

Author: Hello Spring
Damon nodded. "Mm. I've already instructed Spencer to investigate Alexander's background. He landed this morning, barely spent any time at his hotel, and went directly to Gabriel's location.

"Not only that, but he somehow pinpointed exactly where Gabriel was keeping Buddy. I'm worried he might have ulterior motives for involving himself with Buddy."

Nyla shared the same unease.

Back in Capitarnia, Mason had never mentioned Alexander.

Now, this man had suddenly appeared, and something about it didn't sit right. She couldn't shake the feeling that something bigger was at play.

"I'll keep a close eye on Buddy in the meantime," Nyla reassured him. "I won't let him have any further contact with that man. You focus on your work."

Damon nodded. "Alright. Nyla, I know this is hard on you."

Nyla shook her head gently. "The most important thing to me now is that the three of us stay together as a family. Everything else is secondary."

"Mm." Damon hugged her briefly before heading to his

    It was unexpected that Gabriel's plan would fail."Additionally, his secretary has been detained by the police. It looks like they'll both be facing jail time," Spencer reported.Damon's expression remained icy. "Understood. Make sure he doesn't have any chance of getting out.""Yes, Mr. Sumner," Spencer replied.Just as Spencer was about to leave, the door to Damon's office swung open.Pedro walked in, his face clouded with anger. "Mr. Sumner, it's been a while."Damon raised an eyebrow and offered a polite smile. "Mr. Wilkie, it has indeed. What brings you here today?"Pedro let out a cold laugh. "I heard that my useless granddaughter sold 10% of the Wilkie Group's shares to you for a mere 7,000,000 dollars without even knowing their actual value. I'm here about that.""Mr. Wilkie, please take a seat. We can discuss this," Damon said, gesturing toward the chair opposite him.Pedro sat down, his tone stern. "Mr. Sumner, I don’t plan to take advantage of you. My granddaughter

    Damon chuckled. "As I said, you can buy them back at market value."Pedro's expression darkened. "Mr. Sumner, don't joke with me. You are well aware that the Wilkie Group doesn't have that kind of money right now. Name another condition—anything the Wilkie Group can do, and I'll agree to it!"For Pedro, saying this pushed his limits. If it weren't to eliminate future risks for Theo, he would never lower himself to negotiate like this with Damon.Damon looked at him, his tone calm but unyielding. "Mr. Wilkie, I'm not joking. I'm a businessman. I make deals to earn money. If there's no profit, why would I spend 7,000,000 dollars to buy the Wilkie Group shares from Ms. Wilkie? For fun?""I've already offered 8,000,000 dollars to buy back the shares. It's only been a few days, and you'd be making an easy 1,000,000 dollars. Isn't that a profit?" Pedro countered."Mr. Wilkie, do you take me for a fool? Even if I don't sell the shares back to you, I could sell them to anyone else for ten

    Wren froze in disbelief. "Nyla, are you really this heartless? Even though your father and I divorced, you and Gabriel were siblings for years. Can you really stand to see his life destroyed?"Taking a deep breath, Nyla locked eyes with her. "His life is ruined because he chose the wrong path. That has nothing to do with me. Please leave. Don't come back—I won't see you again."With that, she shut the door and walked back to the living room.Outside, Wren stared at the closed door, her face pale and her expression increasingly desperate.Her phone buzzed in her bag.When she answered, an impatient voice barked through the line. "Wren, where are you? Get to the courthouse now and finalize the divorce!"Before she could respond, the caller hung up.Still holding the phone, Wren stood there, dazed.Why... Why had her life—and Gabriel's—fallen apart so suddenly?…Tom snorted when he heard about Gabriel's arrest. "Idiot!"If Gabriel hadn't foolishly tried to abduct Nyla and Maso

    Tom's face paled as he instinctively stepped back two paces. "M-Mr. Mummery, why are you..."Drake chuckled. "You mean, why am I here?"Tom didn't respond, but the slight tremble in his body betrayed his fear."Why I'm here isn't important," Drake said, strolling from the window to the sofa and taking a seat.His demeanor remained calm, yet his presence exuded a chilling menace. "What matters is this—what exactly did you and Damon discuss earlier?"He gestured to the seat across from him. "Relax, Tom. Sit."The casual tone did little to calm Tom, who swallowed nervously before seating himself opposite Drake."It was nothing much," he stammered. "I... I was discussing a potential partnership with Prospectus Technology. Once I gain their trust, I'll find a way to bring them down.""Really?" Drake's sharp eyes locked onto Tom's, a faint smile playing on his lips."Yes," Tom nodded quickly. "By the way, Mr. Mummery, what brings you back to the country? Something important?""Oh,

    "In that case, do your research properly. Don't stir up trouble—unless you're prepared to deal with the fallout," Alexander warned.Drake's eyes searched Alexander's face for meaning. "What do you mean by that? I'm not sure I understand."Alexander closed his laptop and stood. "If you don't understand, then think it over."Without another glance, he walked away.Drake stood there, his expression darkening.As Alexander's figure disappeared, Drake's thoughts churned. The warning was unmistakable.Could Alexander know about the things he had done? But how?He had only just returned to Saintornia and hadn't even begun to target Prospectus Technology or meet with Nyla.Shaking off the doubts, he resolved: No matter what, he'd see this through. Not even Alexander could stop him.…After Drake left, Tom tried to stand but found his legs trembling. His fear of Drake hadn't diminished in the slightest.Drake's warning echoed ominously in Tom's mind. It was clear Drake knew he had di

    Nyla paused for a moment, then looked up at Damon. "When did you buy this?""On my way back. I saw it while waiting at a red light and thought it would be perfect for you, so I bought it," he answered.Nyla took the necklace. The pendant was in the shape of a snowflake, sparkling beautifully under the light. She instantly loved it. "It's so beautiful! I really like it.""I'm glad you like it. So, can you forgive me, just for the sake of this necklace?" Damon asked.Nyla nodded with a smile. "Alright, I'll forgive you this time, just because of the necklace!"She walked to the mirror to check how it looked, then placed it into a nearby jewelry box.A look of confusion crossed Damon's face. "You like it, right? Why aren't you wearing it?""I'll wear it the next time I go out. Go check if Buddy is awake. I'll freshen up first," she replied.He nodded. "Okay."Nyla went into the bathroom to freshen up.When she came out, she saw Damon still standing in the bedroom.Unable to res

    For a mother, nothing was more important than her child.If Gabriel had kidnapped Nyla, she wouldn't have hated him this much."Mm. I'll have someone keep an eye on her. She won't have another chance to come near you and Buddy," Damon said.He had also heard that Wren's husband had divorced her. Now that Gabriel was in jail, no one knew what crazy things she might do in her desperation."Okay, I'll leave you to work now. I won't disturb you," Nyla said.Damon hesitated for a moment, debating whether or not to tell her what Tom had mentioned earlier.When he didn't answer, Nyla asked, "What's wrong?"Damon shook his head. "It's nothing. You go ahead. I'll start working."Nyla frowned slightly, sensing something was off. "Are you sure? Is there something you want to tell me?""No, I'm just still a bit worried about Buddy," Damon replied.She sighed. "I am too, but he has to go to school. We'll just have to pay extra attention for now."After Gabriel's arrest, no one should hav

    "Then what about you? What are you going to do?" Wren asked, her face etched with sadness and pain as she looked at Gabriel.No matter what happened, Gabriel was her only son. If he couldn't make it out of this situation, she felt her own life would lose its meaning.Gabriel's expression remained indifferent. "What happens to me is none of your concern. Just take care of yourself.""What kind of nonsense is that? How can I not care about you?" Wren demanded.Gabriel glanced at her, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Even if you want to care, you can't do anything about it."Don't come to see me again. I won't meet with you again. Just live your life with the money you'll be getting each month."As for Wilhelm, with Jane supporting him, he won't have to worry about food or clothing. There's nothing for me to stress over."Wren's face drained of color, and she stared at him, her lips trembling. "Why do you sound like you're saying your last words... Gabriel, don't scare me like this."

    Valarie widened her eyes in surprise. "Alright, but there are a lot of questions here. It might take me a day or two to finish. You're not in a hurry, are you?""No rush, but the sooner, the better. I really appreciate your help," Damon said.Seeing the sincerity in his eyes, Valarie smiled. "It's no trouble at all. I'm happy to help with the wedding preparations."After parting ways with Damon, Valarie returned to her office.As soon as she sat down, her phone rang. It was Brandon."Valarie, what did my uncle want? Did he give you a hard time?" he asked.Hearing the tension in his voice, Valarie set the file down. "Why would you think he would give me a hard time?"There was a brief silence before Brandon spoke again, his voice low. "I was worried he might blame you for my decision to leave the Sumner Group.""You're overthinking it. He asked me to help with something unrelated. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up," Valarie replied."Valarie—" Brandon began.Before he co

    Damon lowered his head to look at Mason and took the drawing from his hands.The picture showed a family of four—him, Nyla, Mason, and a little girl—standing under a bright blue sky with fluffy white clouds.Damon smiled and pointed to the little girl in the drawing. "Who's this?""That's my little sister. I hope Mommy gives me a baby sister," Mason said earnestly."What if it's a baby brother instead?" Damon asked.Mason paused, then nodded confidently. "If it's a brother, I'll protect him too."Damon's smile deepened at Mason's innocent expression. "Well, it looks like our Buddy is growing up. You're already thinking about protecting your little sibling.""Daddy, when are you and Mommy going to give me a little sibling?" Mason asked."Soon. It won't be long now," Damon answered.Mason's eyes widened with excitement. "Really? Daddy, you're not lying to me, are you?""Of course not. When have I ever lied to you?" Damon asked.Mason huffed. "You've lied to me plenty of times.

    "I've got it. You can let go. I promise I won't drop it," Stefan's roommate reassured him.Stefan's fingers tightened briefly before he slowly released his grip. "Yeah."His roommate carried the cake over to the others, calling them to share. He kept a piece for Stefan.That piece remained untouched until Stefan went to bed.…Over the next few days, Brandon appeared at the Weir Group every day. Sometimes, he brought food; other times, flowers.Valarie was beyond annoyed. She'd told him repeatedly to stop pestering her, but he refused to listen. Eventually, she ignored him altogether.On Friday evening, Valarie spotted Brandon's car parked by the curb as soon as she stepped out of the office.By then, she was used to seeing him there. She walked directly to her car, pretending he didn't exist.Just as she reached it, Brandon called out from behind, "Valarie."Valarie pressed her lips together and turned to face him. "What do you want?""Valarie, are you free tonight?" he ask

    As Stefan stared at the candle, an unreadable emotion flickered in his eyes. He pressed his hands together, closed his eyes, and made a wish.After a moment, he opened his eyes and blew out the candle. "Thank you, Veevee.""No need to thank me. But I'm curious—what did you wish for?" Valarie asked.Stefan smiled. "If I tell you, it won't come true, right?""Fair enough. Here, this is your birthday present," Valarie said.When Stefan saw the black box she handed him, he looked surprised. "Isn't the present all those clothes?""Those were just extras. This is the real gift," Valarie replied.Stefan hesitated, taking the box. "Can I open it now?"Valarie nodded. "Of course."He carefully untied the ribbon and lifted the lid. As soon as he saw what was inside, shock flashed across his face."This is..." he murmured.Inside the box was a key."I bought you an apartment near the university. That way, you won't have to stay in the dorms anymore," Valarie explained.Stefan immedia

    Michelle reached for her phone on the table.Just before her fingers could brush it, Jayden's hand shot out faster, snatching it away.She looked up at Jayden, her teary eyes flashing with defiance. "Give me back my phone!"Jayden took a deep breath and spoke slowly. "Michelle, it's not too late to stop. If you really did send Stefan to get close to Valarie, then tell him to back off."Michelle nodded. "Fine. No matter what I say, you won't believe me. So, let's say I did send him. What are you going to do? Tell Brandon?"Jayden fell silent, unsure of how to respond. Before coming here, he hadn't even considered what he would do if Michelle was behind this.Would he tell Brandon? Or pretend he didn't know?"Whether you were behind this or not, you need to call Stefan and tell him to stop seeing Valarie. If Brandon finds out about your relationship, he won't believe anything you say again," Jayden warned.Michelle's eyes filled with disappointment. "So, you don't believe me eith

    It usually took Stefan ten minutes to walk from the dorm to the school gate, but today, he made it in just five.The moment he saw Valarie, a wave of happiness surged inside him.He knew it now. He had truly fallen for her."I had some errands nearby and happened to pass by your school. Then I remembered I still had something to give you," Valarie explained.Stefan raised an eyebrow in curiosity. "What is it?""You'll find out later. Let's eat first," she suggested.Stefan nodded. "Okay."…Neither Valarie nor Stefan noticed Jayden, who had secretly taken a photo of them from a distance.Behind Jayden, Yale frowned. "Jayden, isn't it a bit inappropriate to secretly take photos of Valarie?"Jayden glanced at him. "What's wrong with it? She's the one sneaking around on Brandon, having dinner with another man. I'm just taking a picture. What's the big deal?""But Valarie and Brandon broke up. She's free to date whoever she wants now. Besides... that guy could be her younger bro

    "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
