As soon as Mason set down the phone, a knock came at the door."Buddy, who were you talking to just now?" Nyla asked.Mason swallowed hard and called out, "Mommy, I wasn't talking to anyone. I was just… talking to myself.""It's late. Go to bed soon," Nyla urged."Okay, Mommy," Mason replied.The sound of footsteps faded from outside the door, and he let out a breath of relief. If Nyla had walked in just a moment earlier, he wouldn't have been able to explain himself....The next morning, Damon, Nyla, and Mason sat at the breakfast table.Damon set his tablet aside and suddenly turned to Nyla. "Nyla, let's get married."The thought of Drake circling Nyla like a predator had left Damon uneasy. He couldn't shake the feeling that he was on the verge of losing her.Nyla froze, looking up at him.Seeing the seriousness in his expression, she couldn't help but laugh. "Other people propose with a ring or at least some flowers."But you? You just hit me with a casual, 'Let's get m

Nyla's eyes were cold, lacking any warmth.Alexander sighed softly. "Nyla, I truly hope we can have a proper conversation. Aren't you curious at all about how your mother has been living abroad all these years?""There's nothing for me to be curious about," Nyla replied. "Mr. Kinsey, I have things to do, so I'll be leaving now."As she made to leave, Alexander stepped in front of her. "Your mother may be returning to the country next week. She wants to see you. When are you available?""I'm not," Nyla said, sidestepping him. She got into her car and drove off.As she drove, her mind wandered. Why was Emerald coming back now? Years ago, she had left so decisively. Why return now, to disrupt the peace Nyla had finally found?…After arriving home, Nyla sat down on the couch, lost in thought.She hesitated briefly before calling Valarie.When Valarie heard about Emerald's potential return, she immediately suggested, "If she wants to see you, you should meet her. And I think you

Theo's expression darkened, and he let out a cold laugh. "Mr. Sumner, you don't need to lecture me. If you'd been willing to return the 10% stake in the Wilkie Group, we wouldn't have ended up like this."Damon didn't respond. He simply picked up his pen and signed the termination contract.The moment he finished, Theo impatiently snatched the contract away and handed a bank card to Damon."Mr. Sumner, the penalty fee is on this card. The PIN is six zeroes," he said.Damon glanced at him but didn't take the card. "Just leave it on the desk."Theo's face stiffened, and a shadow of resentment flickered in his eyes. "What's this? Mr. Sumner looking down on me?"Damon opened a document without even looking up. "If that's what you think, then so be it."Theo's grip on the card tightened until his knuckles turned white. He stared at Damon for a long moment before finally placing the card on the desk. "You should be careful not to let your arrogance make enemies everywhere, Mr. Sumner.

Pedro nodded. "With your assurance, I feel more at ease."Drake smiled, stood, and said, "I won't take up any more of your time. I look forward to hearing good news from you soon.""Don't worry, Mr. Mummery. I'll do my best," Pedro replied.Once alone, he let out a long sigh and slumped into his chair. He picked up his phone and dialed a contact. "Hello, Xavier? I'd like to discuss a partnership... When might you be free—"He was cut off mid-sentence."Mr. Wilkie, I don't think I can risk working with the Wilkie Group right now. After what happened with Prospectus Technology, who's to say we won't be next? I'm in a meeting. Let's not waste each other's time."The call ended abruptly.Frustrated, Pedro tried several more contacts, only to be met with rejection after rejection. His anger eventually boiled over, and he hurled the phone to the floor."I refuse to believe the Wilkie Group can't survive without their cooperation!" he roared.A maid, alarmed by the commotion, rushed

Theo's expression darkened, and he frowned. "Grandpa, it's not that I don't want to listen to you, but this situation is already affecting the company. I need to give the shareholders an explanation. Several of them confronted me today."Just thinking about the scowls on those shareholders' faces irritated him. He knew full well that they didn't take him seriously. Some even had the nerve to compare him unfavorably to Jane.Pedro stared at him coldly. "A few complaints from shareholders, and you're already falling apart? What will you do if the company faces a real crisis?""Grandpa, if you keep stirring things up like this, we might not need to wait for a real crisis—the company could collapse any day now," Theo countered."Say that again?" Pedro growled.Facing his grandfather's icy glare, Theo instinctively shrank back, muttering under his breath, "I'm just stating the facts...""Get out!" Pedro hurled a file at his feet, his face livid with anger.Theo sighed helplessly. "Gr

Tom wondered if he had just gone from being Drake's lackey to Damon's errand boy. He sighed and summoned his secretary.Less than an hour later, the investigation was complete."Mr. Genge, the Watson Group hasn't signed any major contracts recently. However, they've been in contact with Mr. Mummery," Tom's secretary reported.Tom sneered. "I see. That'll be all."After the secretary left, Tom immediately informed Damon. "The Watson Group has been meeting with Drake. Looks like they're working together now. Be careful.""Got it," Damon answered.Hanging up, Damon placed his phone on the desk, his expression darkening as he thought things through.Drake's intentions were clear, and he was beginning to make moves against Prospectus Technology. As for Alexander, it was only a matter of time before he acted as well.The more Damon considered the situation, the darker his expression grew.Taking a deep breath, he called Spencer back into the office. "Spencer, how long have you been

Seeing Nyla's furious expression, Damon spoke calmly. "Nyla, don't get upset yet. Let me finish.""What's there to listen to?" Nyla snapped. "Do you really think Alexander and Drake wouldn't be able to find me and Buddy? Going abroad would be even more dangerous. Not only could we run into unforeseen incidents, but they could also find us and drag us back to Meristate."Damon stood and pulled her into his arms. "I understand what you're worried about. But if I'm suggesting sending you both away, it means I've already arranged everything to ensure your safety. Trust me, okay?""I won't do it!" Nyla shoved him away, her voice cold. "No matter what you say, I'm not agreeing to leave the country."With that, she turned and left the room.Damon's eyes filled with helplessness and pain as he watched her retreating figure.He knew why Nyla refused to leave—it was because she was worried about him. But he was just as concerned about her and Mason's safety.Because of their earlier argum

"Just some womanly matters. Don't pry," Nyla chided, though her tone lacked sharpness.Damon nodded. "Got it. Do you need me to drive you?""No, I'll take a cab," she replied."Alright," he said.As Damon drove away, Nyla slipped her marriage certificate into her bag and flagged down a taxi. Her destination: the restaurant where she had arranged to meet Alexander.…When she arrived, she found herself 30 minutes early. Yet, Alexander was already there."You're here," he remarked, standing as she approached."Yes," she replied, seating herself across from him.Her expression was composed, her gaze devoid of the resentment that once lingered there. "Why are you so early?""I didn't have anything else to do, so I came early," he said, shrugging lightly. "What did you want to talk about?"Nyla drew a steady breath before speaking. "I thought about what you said after I got home. You're right—she's my mother. I can't cut her out of my life completely. I'm willing to try to accept

Nyla looked at Valarie. "What do you mean, giving each other looks? Just eat. I made your favorite—spicy chicken."Valarie nodded. "Okay."As they ate, Damon glanced at Brandon. "When are you going back to the company?"It had been nearly a month since Brandon left the Sumner Group. If he stayed away much longer, the people he had trained might start siding with someone else.Brandon paused mid-bite, instinctively glancing at Valarie across the table. She didn't even look his way.After a brief silence, he lowered his gaze. "In a few days.""Alright." Damon didn't press the issue.Brandon was the CEO of the Sumner Group. Damon couldn't keep treating him like a subordinate.Halfway through the meal, Brandon's phone rang.Seeing Jayden's name on the screen, he frowned and ignored it. But the phone rang again. And again.After declining multiple calls, he realized the others at the table were all looking at him.He picked up the phone. "It might be urgent."Stepping aside, he

"I just wanted to see if you'd tell me the truth. Now I know—you don't trust me," Jayden said.Michelle cried, "Fine! I admit it. I sent Stefan after Valarie. I wanted him to ruin her relationship with Brandon! Go ahead and tell Brandon if you want! I don't care!"She stood, ready to leave.Before she reached the door, Jayden's voice echoed behind her."I won't tell Brandon," he said. "But I won't help you anymore, either. There's still time to stop this. You can walk away now."Michelle's footsteps faltered momentarily, but she didn't turn back. She had never regretted her choices—why would she stop now?As long as she could have Brandon in the end, she wouldn't give up.If Jayden refused to help, she'd just have to figure it out on her own.…That evening, as Valarie got off work, she received a call from Nyla."Valarie, come over for dinner tonight! Oh, and by the way, I sent you a thank-you gift last night. Make sure you accept it," Nyla said.Valarie had seen Nyla's mon

"Whether or not you're having me followed, who I choose to spend time with is my business. I hope you'll stop prying into my private life," Valarie said.Brandon grabbed her wrist, his voice low and firm. "Valarie, the month is almost up. Don't forget the promise you made."She pulled away. "There's still a week left. We'll talk when the time comes."With that, she turned and left.Brandon watched her go, frustration darkening his face.The anonymous photos he'd received that morning were still fresh in his mind, making his expression even stormier.Forcing himself to stay calm, he pulled out his phone and called his assistant. "Find out who sent those photos to my email this morning."After hanging up, his mood remained grim. It was time to give Stefan a warning.Just as he was about to leave, his phone rang again.His eyes flickered with annoyance at the unfamiliar number. Without hesitation, he rejected the call and blocked it.Ever since he'd cut off Michelle, she'd been

Valarie turned to the couch and saw Stefan sitting there, watching her with concern."You stayed here all night?" she asked, surprised."Yeah." He nodded. "You drank too much last night. I was worried about you, so I stayed to look after you.""That must've been exhausting," Valarie remarked.Stefan shook his head. "It wasn't. How do you feel now? I bought you breakfast and made you honey water this morning. If your head hurts, the honey water should help.""I'll wash my face first." Valarie got out of bed and went to the bathroom.While freshening up, she noticed several faint red marks on her neck and chest—suspiciously like hickeys. She frowned slightly.When she stepped out, Stefan was still on the couch, looking especially well-behaved.Valarie sat across from him, pointed at her neck, and asked bluntly, "Did you do this?"The moment the words left her mouth, Stefan's face turned bright red. He lowered his head, avoiding her gaze. "I... I couldn't help myself. But I swear

After placing Valarie on the couch, Stefan stepped out of the private room to answer the call.Michelle sneered. "Stefan, tomorrow is the deadline for your mother's medical bill, and you haven't made any progress."Looks like you really don't care about the money. Or… have you gotten close to Valarie and don't need it anymore?"What a pity. Valarie still doesn't know you have ulterior motives. Do you want me to help tell her?"Stefan lowered his head, his eyes dark with emotion. "I'll send the photos in a bit."He hung up without hesitation.Slipping his phone back into his pocket, he didn't return to the private room immediately. Instead, he leaned against the wall and lit a cigarette. The swirling smoke obscured his features, making it impossible to read his expression.It felt like his entire life had been shrouded in darkness since birth. No matter how hard he fought, he could never break free.His phone buzzed with a new message from Michelle.Michelle: [Stefan, your mo

Nyla continued. "And Buddy?""Mr. Mason has already gone to bed," Lydia reported.Nyla nodded, then turned and made her way to the study.She gently pushed the door open and saw Damon fast asleep on the couch. Quietly, she stepped inside.The couch wasn't very big—perfect for her to nap on while reading. But for someone as tall as Damon, it looked rather cramped.As she moved closer, she noticed he hadn't even loosened his tie before falling asleep. A flicker of distress crossed her eyes. He must have been exhausted from all the wedding preparations.Carefully, she reached out, loosened his tie, and unbuttoned the top few buttons of his shirt. Then she grabbed a blanket and draped it over him.After making sure he was comfortable, she left the room as quietly as she had entered.Since she wasn't sleepy yet, she decided to sit in the living room for a while.Just as she settled on the couch, Lydia approached with a shawl. "Mrs. Sumner, the temperature drops at night. Keep warm.

Nyla was momentarily stunned but reached out to accept the gift."Can I open it now?" she asked.Alexander nodded. "Of course."She lifted the lid and found a stunning ruby necklace inside, surrounded by diamonds that shimmered like a star-studded sky. It was breathtaking—impossible to look away from."It's beautiful. Thank you," she gasped."As long as you like it, that's all that matters. By the way, where's Buddy?" Alexander asked."He's probably in the main hall," Nyla answered.Alexander chuckled. "Alright. I'll go look for him."As soon as he left, Valarie let out a gasp of amazement. "Nyla, who was that guy? I just saw this necklace on the news a while ago. It was auctioned off for 20,000,000 dollars to a mysterious buyer! And now, I see it in real life—right here!"Nyla was taken aback. She hadn't expected the necklace to be that valuable.She examined it again. Aside from its beauty, it didn't seem all that special."Are you sure it's worth so much?" she asked.Val

Opening the food container, Nyla found it filled with all her favorite snacks. She couldn't help but smile."Valarie, you barely ate anything earlier. Want some?" she asked.Valarie glanced at the food, raised an eyebrow, and replied, "I'm already full—from all the PDA I've been force-fed today."Time passed quickly, and before they knew it, it was already 2:00 p.m.Valarie led Nyla out of the dressing room, where Harrison waited at the entrance, seated in his wheelchair.The moment Nyla saw him, her eyes welled with tears. "Dad."Harrison's voice thickened with emotion. "I'm here to walk you down the aisle."Nyla squeezed his hand as they descended the stairs together.At the entrance to the grand hall, Nyla held her bouquet with one hand and her father's hand with the other, her heart racing with anticipation.The doors swung open.Damon stood at the end of the aisle, dressed in a sharp white suit. His eyes locked onto Nyla's, filled with nothing but love and tenderness.E

At that moment, Nyla finally understood what Damon had meant by a "surprise."Her eyes welled with emotion as she turned to Valarie. "Where is he now?""I'm not sure, but he's probably still handling the wedding preparations. Try on the dress first and see if it fits!" Valarie said with a grin.Nyla blinked back her tears and nodded. "Okay."With Valarie's help, she slipped into the wedding dress.It fit her perfectly—just as she had imagined.Gazing at her reflection in the mirror, she felt a bit dazed.It had been so long since she'd last worn a wedding dress—so long that she had almost forgotten what it felt like.Beside her, Valarie admired the sight. "You look gorgeous! My best friend never disappoints. Oh, wait—there's still this!"Nyla turned to see Valarie holding a diamond-studded tiara. She couldn't help but smile."Let me put it on for you," Valarie offered."Okay."Valarie carefully adjusted the tiara on Nyla's head, making sure it sat just right."Perfect," sh
