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 Jayston was in her third month of trying to conceive when she saw a message on her husband Clark Sumner's phone from a contact named "Jordyn Cheatham".Jordyn: [I think my new nightgown is a bit tight. Why don't you come over and check if it fits?]Attached was a selfie of a woman in a deep V-neck red slip dress, her cleavage partly exposed, exuding seduction.Nyla's grip on the phone tightened. She scrolled up and found Clark and Jordyn's previous exchanges to be strictly work-related, which made her frown.'Was the text sent by mistake? Or…'A hand wrapped around Nyla's waist from behind, breaking her thoughts.Clark pressed his warm body against hers and gently nibbled her earlobe. "Honey, I'm all cleaned up. Do you want to do it on the couch or the bed?"Before Nyla could respond, Clark picked her up and laid her on the couch, his tall frame looming over her."Since you're not saying anything, I'll choose. Let's do it on the couch," Clark said, his voice husky and his

Nyla downed her drink in one gulp. She had never imagined Clark would betray her. Seeing him in bed with another woman felt like a dagger through her heart."I just can't believe it. He loved you so much. He didn't seem like the type to cheat. Maybe there's a misunderstanding," Valarie suggested.Nyla let out a cold laugh. "I saw it with my own eyes. How could that be a misunderstanding?"The room fell silent.Watching Nyla drink like there was no tomorrow, Valarie grabbed the glass from her hand. "Even if he cheated, you shouldn't punish yourself by getting drunk. What are you going to do now?""I'm getting a divorce. Just thinking about him with that woman makes me sick."Upon seeing the defiance in Nyla’s red eyes, Valarie's heart ached. "Don't think about it now. You need to rest. Decide what to do next once you’re calm. I'll take you home."Nyla shook her head. "No... I don't want to go back."Returning to that house would only bring back the sickening images of Clark’s be

On Nyla's way back, she hesitated for a long time before finally messaging Damon, someone whose contact she had had for three years but had never contacted.Nyla: [Uncle Damon... Can we pretend tonight never happened? I was really drunk and went to the wrong room.]She waited for a long time, but there was no response from Damon. Frowning, she sent another message.Nyla: [?]As soon as she sent it, a red exclamation mark appeared: [You are no longer friends with this user. Please send a friend request to continue chatting.]Nyla bit her lip. Damon had deleted her. He must not want to bring this up again. Relieved, she finally felt a bit of peace.…When Nyla got home, it was already past 6:00 a.m.As soon as she opened the door, she saw Clark sitting on the sofa. He turned sharply at the sound of the door, his eyes bloodshot from a sleepless night."Where were you last night? I called you dozens of times. Why didn’t you answer?"Clark stood up and walked quickly toward her, r

Nyla froze for a moment, then struggled desperately. Just the thought of Clark kissing another woman the night before filled her with disgust and rage."Let go!"Her struggles were futile against Clark, who only tightened his grip around her waist.As she fought, her towel loosened, revealing her body. His gaze darkened, and he felt a rush of desire.Their bodies were pressed tightly together, and Nyla quickly noticed the change in Clark. Furious, she bit him hard, tasting blood in their mouths.Instead of letting go, Clark's other hand slipped under Nyla's towel. She had nothing on underneath, having just come out of the shower. She stiffened and struggled even more fiercely."Clark, get off me!"Clark ignored Nyla, his fingers teasing her sensitive spots. "Nyla, you need me too, don't you?"Nyla’s struggles were in vain, and she grew increasingly desperate. As Clark positioned himself, she closed her eyes in despair. "Clark, don't make me hate you."Clark halted abruptly. Se

Seeing the coldness in Clark's eyes, Nyla realized how blind she had been to fall in love with such a man.Her eyes stung with unshed tears, but she refused to show any vulnerability in front of him. She yanked her hand away, took a deep breath, and headed upstairs. The only thought in her mind was to find a job quickly so she could move out and divorce Clark.She grabbed a random outfit, tied her hair up with a hairpin, and went back downstairs. She was never one to fuss over her appearance. In the past, she had dressed up for the Sumners' gatherings to make a good impression. Now, she couldn't care less.Hearing her footsteps, Clark looked up.Nyla wore a fitted white dress, her waist so slender it seemed it could be encircled with one hand. Her hair was secured with a jade hairpin, revealing her delicate neck. She was breathtakingly beautiful. The grace she exuded was just like when they first met. However, the look in her eyes now was devoid of any warmth."Let’s go," she said

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

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 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

Damon's tone was sharp and probing, his gaze cold and filled with suspicion.Alexander knew Damon must have already uncovered his basic identity, but not his connection to the Nixons.He smirked. "Buddy and I share a special bond. I was nearby, and he was hungry, so I brought him here for dinner before taking him home."As for how I knew about his kidnapping... I don't believe I owe you an explanation, Mr. Sumner."With that, Alexander looked at Mason. "Buddy, your parents are here now, so I'll leave you with them. Goodbye."Mason nodded. "Okay!"Alexander gave Nyla a fleeting glance before turning and walking away with a smirk.Damon stared at Alexander's retreating figure, his expression icy.Only after Alexander drove off did Damon crouch down to Mason's level. "Buddy, who is this man? How do you know him?"Mason had always been cautious around strangers. If he'd told Alexander his name, they must have already known each other.Yet when Damon had investigated Nyla and Maso

Seeing Mason's fawning expression, the man couldn't help but chuckle. "Alright, stop sucking up. You didn't recognize me for so long. What's the deal? Has my charm faded, or have you just forgotten all about your master?""You were wearing a mask and a hat, and you pulled me straight out of that hiding spot. I was terrified, thinking you were a bad guy. How could I possibly know it was you?" Mason countered.The man raised an eyebrow. "So this is my fault, huh?""Of course not!" Mason switched to full flattery mode, reaching up to massage the man's shoulders with a wide grin. "Master, you're the best-looking, the most amazing! Just next time, don't cover yourself up like that. It was scary—I thought I was being kidnapped!""Alright, go sit back down," the man instructed.Instead of returning to his original seat, Mason slid into the spot right next to the man, looking up at him with wide, admiring eyes. "Master, how did you even know I got kidnapped? And how did you find me and re

Mason put on a sweet, obedient expression. "Okay."After selecting his food, he handed the menu back. "Can I go now?"The man nodded. "Go ahead."Mason quickly headed for the door. As he reached it, he glanced back and saw the man still sitting calmly, making no move to follow him.Suspicion crept into his mind. Why wasn't the man worried about him escaping?The man raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong? Not going?""N-No, I'm going now," Mason stammered.Fearing the man might change his mind, Mason bolted out the door and raced down the hallway.The man smiled, then removed his mask and took a sip of his red wine.Instead of heading to the restroom, Mason made a beeline for the restaurant's exit. If he could just get outside, he could find a phone and call his parents to come and save him.Although he didn't believe the strange man would hurt him, he was still afraid.He ran as fast as his little legs could carry him, and soon the entrance came into view.Ten meters.Nine mete
