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

"I encountered Buddy for the first time when he was three years old. Back then, I had no idea about my connection to you or that Buddy was your son." Alexander's tone was serious, his gaze unwavering.Nyla nodded thoughtfully. "Really? Buddy is that talented with computers? He's never shown any of that in front of me.""Yes, he's incredibly gifted—one of the most talented I've ever seen. That's why I took him on as my apprentice. Later, when I discovered our connection and learned he was your son, I liked him even more," Alexander explained.Nyla noticed the warmth in his eyes and felt a pang of something she couldn't quite place. Her gaze flickered. "It seems you understand Buddy better than I do.""I suppose I do, at least in some ways. Back then, Buddy told me you were always busy with work and rarely had time for him. We used to talk almost every night," Alexander recounted.Nyla sat silently, listening as he shared his memories. Her hands clenched slowly on her lap.So much

"Damon isn't right for you. Someday, you'll meet someone who is," Alexander said."Who's suitable for me isn't your decision to make." Nyla stood abruptly. "That's enough for today. I have other matters to attend to. Goodbye."Alexander realized his comment had upset her, but he managed a smile. "Alright."Returning to her car, Nyla took a deep breath and started the engine before driving away....Damon summoned Spencer to his office as soon as the latter arrived."There's no need to arrange for Nyla and Buddy to leave the country just yet. For now, focus on finding potential business partners," he instructed.Spencer looked slightly surprised but nodded. "Understood."As he turned to leave, his eyes fell on the ring on Damon's finger. Unable to hide his shock, Spencer paused.Over the years, Damon had never worn jewelry—he didn't like it. Thus, seeing him with a ring could only mean one thing: it was a couple's ring with Nyla."Mr. Sumner, is that ring from Ms. Kinsey?" Spe

After holding each other for a moment, Damon released Nyla just as his phone buzzed in his pocket.His expression darkened when he saw that it was Spencer calling. He swiped to answer. "What's going on?""Mr. Sumner, I reached out to the companies this morning, but every one of them rejected us. Mr. Walker from Excellence received a warning from someone."His secretary told me privately that they were threatened—if Excellence works with Prospectus Technology, they'd be bankrupted. Under this pressure, no company is willing to partner with Prospectus Technology," Spencer reported.At this rate, Prospectus Technology was heading straight for another financial crisis.Damon lowered his eyes, his tone icy. "Got it. I'll deal with it when I get back this afternoon."He hung up and met Nyla's worried gaze. "Damon, is it Drake or Alexander targeting Prospectus Technology?""If I'm right, it's Drake," Damon replied.He could tell that Alexander didn't want to create open hostility betw

Watching Mason dash away, Nyla couldn't help but smile. But that smile quickly faded as she thought about their imminent separation."Nyla, why are you staring after Buddy like that?" Damon's voice snapped her back to reality.She turned to him, quickly masking her sadness. "Oh, nothing. I was just thinking about how fast time flies. Buddy's already five years old."Damon slid an arm around her waist. "It might feel fast to you, but not to me. When I think about the five years we lost, I can't help but feel regret. If we'd been together all that time, the three of us would've been so happy."The mention of those lost years made Nyla sigh.If only she had trusted Damon more back then, they wouldn't have missed out on so much time together.And now, just as they had reunited, they were about to be separated again."I'm sorry, Damon..." she murmured.Seeing the guilt in her eyes, Damon pulled her into his arms, his voice soft. "There's nothing to apologize for. For me, as long as

After getting dressed and stepping out of the break room, Nyla spotted Damon sitting behind his desk, looking refreshed as he worked.She shot him a glare, unable to suppress her annoyance.Damon rubbed his nose, feeling a bit guilty. "Honey, why didn't you rest a little longer?""It's almost time to pick up Buddy from school. Are you still busy with work?" Nyla asked."There's just a little left to do, but I can finish it at home. Let me grab my things, and we'll pick up Buddy together," he answered.Nyla considered telling him to stay and finish his work but remembered they only had three days left together. She nodded. "Okay, I'll wait for you."Five minutes later, they were on their way downstairs.Since Nyla had driven over, Damon decided to take her car to pick up Mason.During the ride, Nyla stared out the window, lost in thought about how to tell Damon she'd be leaving for Meristate.Damon noticed something was off but didn't press her. He figured he'd wait until after

Seeing the flicker of guilt in Alexander's expression, Nyla said, "If you really feel sorry for Buddy and me, promise me one thing.""What is it?" Alexander asked."If I ever ask for your help after going to Meristate, you have to help me no matter what," Nyla said.Alexander smiled. "You might find that once you become the Nixons' successor, I'll be the one asking you for help.""So, is that a no?" Nyla asked.Seeing her serious expression, Alexander finally nodded. "Fine, I promise.""Let's hope you won't break your word," she replied.Alexander offered, "If you don't believe me, I can swear on my life."Nyla shook her head. "That won't be necessary. I have other things to do, so I'll be leaving now."…Nyla headed straight to Prospectus Technology.Damon was surprised to see her arrive unexpectedly. "Nyla, why are you here at this hour?""I missed you, so I came to see you," Nyla answered.Her gaze was tender, filled with love—and a hint of sorrow so subtle it was almos

Emerald looked at Nyla and asked, "What are your conditions?""First, Buddy stays in Saintornia. He can't come to Meristate with me. Second, I need you to provide resources to Damon's company to help him take it international. Third, I want full control over my marriage decisions," Nyla stated firmly.Emerald narrowed her eyes and pondered briefly before letting out a soft laugh. "Once you join the Nixons, you and Damon will belong to two entirely different worlds."As for Buddy—if you leave him here, his life trajectory will end up just like yours. Are you sure you want to leave him behind?"Nyla's second condition wasn't difficult for Emerald to guess. She could see where this was heading, though Nyla clearly underestimated the Nixons. Even with abundant resources, Damon could never compete with them.As for Nyla's third condition? Once she was in Meristate, who she wanted to marry would hardly be her decision to make."I'm sure," Nyla said resolutely. "You want me to go to Mer

A moment later, Nyla entered the restaurant.Alexander stood quickly and led her toward their table."Nyla, just a heads-up—your mom's used to giving orders, so her words might come across as commanding. Be prepared," he said again, his tone cautious."Okay," Nyla replied evenly, following him.In less than two minutes, they arrived at the table."Nyla, this is your mom," Alexander said, then turned to the woman sitting before them. "Aunt Emerald, this is Nyla. Doesn't she look just like you?"Emerald and Nyla's eyes met, neither speaking for several long moments.After what felt like an eternity, Emerald raised her chin slightly. "Sit down."Her tone was devoid of any warmth.As Nyla looked at the woman in front of her, she found it impossible to reconcile this commanding figure with the gentle, loving mother she remembered from childhood.She sat across from Emerald and spoke directly. "I've heard from Alexander that you want me to go to Meristate."Emerald nodded, her gaz

"Exactly, Mr. Sumner, please help us out!"Damon's expression remained indifferent while facing the hopeful gazes of the group. "I can help you, but tell me—what can you offer in return?"He wasn't a philanthropist, and given these people had previously worked against Prospectus Technology, there was no way he would let them off easily."Mr. Sumner, whatever you ask—if we can do it, we will!"The others echoed in agreement, desperate to save their businesses.Damon nodded. "Alright, I have only one condition—join me in taking down Drake."Relief washed over the group. Some even looked incredulous.Was that really his only condition? After all, even if Damon hadn't explicitly asked, they'd likely side with him against Drake once their companies were back on their feet.The humiliation Drake had subjected them to was a bitter pill none of them were willing to swallow."Mr. Sumner, that's it? That's all you're asking?"Damon turned his cold gaze to the man who spoke. "Yes. But l

"If you force her, she'll resist even more. And don't forget, she has unresolved feelings about the past," Alexander reminded her.Emerald's face darkened. "What does she have to resent? If it weren't for what happened back then, she wouldn't even exist. She should be grateful I brought her into this world!"Alexander frowned. "If you want her to follow you to Meristate, you'll need to tone it down. She's not like Brian and Delia, who grew up with you.""Fine. I'll meet her tomorrow and see," Emerald replied.After divorcing Harrison and moving abroad, Emerald had initially thought about Nyla often. But over time, as her business grew and she had Brian and Delia, her thoughts of her eldest daughter faded.Now, she only cared about Nyla because the Nixons needed her as a successor. Otherwise, she might never have thought about her again.Emerald knew she had wronged Nyla, but she had gone through so much over the years. Besides, she had a son and a daughter who listened. She no lo

Hearing Damon's response, Nyla finally felt relieved. "That's good to hear.""Let's eat," Damon said."Okay." Nyla picked up her utensils, ready to grab some food when her phone suddenly rang.Seeing Alexander's name on the screen, her expression shifted slightly. She set her utensils down and answered.As soon as the call connected, Alexander's voice came through. "Nyla, your mom's flight lands in two hours. I'm heading to the airport to pick her up. Do you want to come along?"Nyla clutched her phone, her breathing growing heavier. It took her a few seconds to respond. "No, I'm busy tonight. Anything else?""How about tomorrow? Can we meet somewhere? She really wants to see you," Alexander asked."We'll see," she said hurriedly, then ended the call.Noticing her pale expression, Damon took her hand and said softly, "If you don't want to see her, then don't. You don't have to force yourself."Taking a deep breath, Nyla shook her head. "No, I want to see her. I just... I'm not

Drake's ultimate target was Nyla. If Prospectus Technology fell, no one could protect her or Mason.The companies that had sided with Drake acted out of self-interest, but they now regretted their decisions. Damon could gain significant strength by reestablishing cooperation with them.Of course, Valarie had her own motives. She wanted to repay Summer Coates for saving her life and hoped to restore their collaboration."Whether or not she can stay out of it, talking to her won't help. Stop dragging her into this," Brandon said."Brandon, who are you to order me around?" Valarie retorted.Pinching the bridge of his nose in frustration, Brandon replied, "Can you stop being unreasonable? I'm not threatening you. I'm reminding you. Don't forget—the Weir Group avoided bankruptcy only because of my uncle."Valarie laughed coldly. "You're right. He did save the Weir Group, and I'm grateful. But that doesn't mean he can interfere in everything I do."Without giving him a chance to respo
