After work, Nyla took a cab to the Sumner residence. As soon as she was led into the living room by a maid, Marie's cold voice echoed. "On your knees!"Nyla stopped in her tracks, her expression calm as she looked at Marie. "Grandma, I don't know what I did wrong to deserve this."Cindy, sitting next to Marie, sneered with a sharp tone. "How dare you ask what you did wrong?! Why did you force Ms. Rainford to kneel and apologize to you in front of everyone last night? Do you even realize your status compared to hers?"This morning, Gen Pharma and the Rainford Group terminated their contracts with the Sumner Group, causing billions in losses. The other shareholders are furious with Clark and are calling for a board meeting to remove him as the CEO. You're nothing but bad luck!"If it were not for affecting Clark, Cindy would have told Marie about Nyla's infertility and had Marie chase Nyla out of the Sumner family.Nyla met Cindy's hateful gaze with a composed look. "Jacqueline trie

Nyla smiled bitterly. There was no way she could go back tonight."No need. The gathering is close to Valarie's place. I'll stay with her tonight," she replied.There was silence on the other end before Clark's deep voice came through. "Are you still upset about last night?""No. I just haven't had a good chat with Valarie in a long time, so I plan to stay over at her place tonight," Nyla said, though she was lying.After another long pause, Clark finally said, "Alright, but if anything comes up, give me a call.""Got it," Nyla replied.After hanging up, her phone flashed a low battery warning, indicating only 20% charge left. She frowned, realizing she hadn't charged it since the previous night due to her busy schedule. Sighing, she turned off her phone to conserve battery.…Clark sensed something was off after the call but couldn't pinpoint what it was.Just as he was about to ponder the matter, Michael entered his office and reported, "Mr. Sumner, Gen Pharma and the Rain

With Richard's words, the entire meeting room fell into silence.Everyone lowered their heads, too intimidated to speak. Each person had their private reasons for wanting to remove Clark from his position.After a long pause, a shareholder finally broke the oppressive silence. "Mr. Richard, we were simply too anxious... The Sumner Group lost billions in just one morning..."Richard scoffed. "Billions? Is that a significant amount? He can recoup that in less than a year. If anyone wants the CEO position, prove your worth!"Disregarding their reactions, Richard stood up and left the room, heading directly to Clark's office."Grandpa..." Clark began."Shut up! If this happens again, I won't step in to save you!" Richard snapped.Under Richard's furious gaze, Clark lowered his head, his fists clenched tightly at his sides. "I understand.""By the way, Brandon will be returning to the country soon. When he arrives, arrange a position for him at the Sumner Group. Make sure it's a cha

Damon's eyes grew cold when he saw Nyla curled up in the corner, eyes closed, her face flushed unnaturally, and her body trembling. He was about to rush over when Clark suddenly pushed him aside, quickly striding to Nyla and lifting her into his arms.Seeing that Nyla had already fallen unconscious, Marie frowned. She had only intended to lock Nyla up for a night to teach her a lesson, never expecting things to escalate like this.Filled with anger but unable to lash out at Marie, Clark spoke in a low voice. "Grandmother, I need to take Nyla to the hospital."Without waiting for a response, he carried Nyla out quickly.Damon clenched his fists tightly as he watched him leave, his eyes flashing with fury.Marie looked at Damon and couldn't help but ask, "Damon, did I go too far?"Seeing Nyla in such a state made her feel a twinge of guilt.Damon's expression remained indifferent. "What do you think? This wasn't her fault, yet you punished her because you knew she had no one to su

"Eat your breakfast." Clark's tone was cold, clearly upset by Nyla's indifference.Nyla replied, "I'm not hungry right now. I'll eat later. You should go back to work."Clark's anger, which had been simmering since earlier, finally boiled over. He looked at her coldly, his voice laced with accusation. "Are you not hungry, or do you just lose your appetite when you see me?"Nyla frowned. "That's not what I meant.""That's exactly what you meant. When Grandma called you to the house last night, why did you lie and say you were having dinner with colleagues?" Clark demanded.If he hadn't sensed something was wrong and called Valarie, he might still be in the dark about her lie.Nyla lowered her gaze, her expression calm. "I didn't want you to worry."Clark sneered. "Don't take me for a fool, Nyla. Are you worried about me, or are you afraid I'll drag my uncle down?"She took a deep breath, her gaze growing icy as she met his eyes. "Clark, can you stop being unreasonable?""Am I t

Nyla met Clark's cold gaze. With a scoff, she snatched the flowers and supplements from his hands, tossing them into the trash can.Spencer's eyes widened with shock, quickly shifting to anger. "Ms. Jayston, how could you do that? Mr. Damon came to see you, and you—"Before he could finish, Damon had already turned and left, his presence so chilling that it sent shivers down one's spine.Spencer, struggling to control his frustration, hurried to catch up with Damon."Mr. Sumner, are we just going to leave like this?" Spencer asked.The situation felt unbearably humiliating. After all, Damon had helped Nyla numerous times before, but she had repaid his kindness with disdain."What else? Storm into the room and demand an explanation?" Damon retorted.He wasn't the type to grovel. Plenty of women wanted to be with him—he didn't need her specifically.Sensing the frostiness in Damon's gaze, Spencer felt a chill rise from his feet and dared not speak further. Damon was clearly in a

However, Damon had no intention of pursuing the matter, so as a mere secretary, Spencer had no place to comment.Nyla glanced at the young woman standing next to Spencer. She had a baby face, shoulder-length hair, and eyes that smiled like crescent moons, giving her a very cute appearance."Ms. Jayston, my name is Melody Sorley. I just graduated from university. It's nice to meet you," Melody introduced herself."Hello, I'm Nyla Jayston," Nyla replied simply.With many tasks in the lab, Nyla was indeed struggling to manage everything on her own. Having an assistant would be a significant help."Thank you, Mr. Hogg," Nyla said gratefully.Spencer's expression remained cold. "No need to thank me. It's my job. I'll be going now. If you need anything, just message me on the company network."Understanding that Spencer's displeasure was related to Damon, Nyla chose not to get angry. She nodded and said, "Okay."After Spencer left, Melody turned to Nyla and asked, "Can I call you Nyl

Erin chatted with Damon, her smile evident. Although Damon only responded occasionally, the atmosphere between them remained fairly harmonious.Ever since Erin and Damon had sat down next to Nyla and Melody, Nyla kept her head down, quietly eating. She hoped to finish quickly and leave.Suddenly, a somewhat shy voice came from nearby. "Ms. Jayston..."Nyla turned to see a tall, muscular man holding a bouquet of red roses. He stood a few steps away, looking at her nervously. She frowned, sensing something was off.As expected, the next moment, the man extended the roses toward her."Hi, my name is Dylan Lomas. From the moment I saw you, I fell in love at first sight. Could you give me a chance... to pursue you?" Dylan confessed.Nyla often received such confessions back in university, but this was the first time since marrying Clark.It was lunchtime, and the cafeteria was packed. Everyone's eyes were on her and Dylan.After a few seconds of silence, she said calmly, "I'm sorry,

If Wilhelm stopped wanting to see Jane, the bond between them would naturally fade over time."No! I don't want food!" Wilhelm cried, hurling Gabriel's phone onto the car seat.He began pounding on the car door, trying to open it. "I want to see Mommy! I want to live with her, not you!"Gabriel, his patience wearing thin, locked the doors with a sharp click and turned to Wilhelm, his expression darkening."Your mother doesn't want you. Even if you find her, she won't take you. I'm the only one you have now," he said."I hate you! I don't want to be with you! I don't want you as my dad!" Wilhelm screamed.Gabriel's restraint, already fraying after days of tantrums, finally snapped. He stared at his son and said coldly, "It doesn't matter whether you want me or not. No one wants you now except me."Jane didn't want Wilhelm. The Wilkies wouldn't want him either."That's not true!" Wilhelm sobbed uncontrollably. "Mommy wants me. Mommy's just mad. If I'm good, she'll take me back! S

Lydia nodded. "Okay, Ms. Kinsey."Shortly after, Lydia returned with Mason by her side.When Mason saw Gabriel and Wilhelm standing at the door, he frowned and turned to Nyla. "Mommy, why is Wilhelm here?"Nyla patted his head gently. "He's here to apologize to you.""Oh." Mason's response was wary, clearly unconvinced.Gabriel observed Nyla's affectionate interaction with Mason, his eyes flickering with a trace of emotion. He turned to Wilhelm. "What did you promise me before we came?"Wilhelm's reluctance was evident. He had agreed to apologize, but only under the threat of losing his chance to see his mother."Mason, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have pushed you yesterday. I hope you can forgive me," Wilhelm said, his voice subdued.Mason didn't respond immediately. Instead, he looked up at Nyla, silently seeking her guidance."Buddy, this is your decision to make," Nyla said softly. "I'll respect whatever you decide."Mason lowered his head, thinking for a moment.Finally, he s

Brandon sighed and placed the items on the desk. "Aunt Nyla, this crisis is unlike anything Prospectus Technology has faced before. If things go wrong, the company can go bankrupt."Uncle Damon prepared these after finding out Buddy is his son, but he hadn't found the right time to give them to you."Keep them for now. If Prospectus Technology collapses, he'll need this to start over."After a moment's silence, Nyla nodded. "Alright, I'll hold onto them. Is this the only reason you came?""Yes, I need to get back to work," Brandon replied."I'll see you out," Nyla offered.After sending Brandon off, she returned to the study and placed the documents and bank card in the safe upstairs.The next morning…As Nyla was getting dressed, Lydia knocked on the door."Ms. Kinsey, there's a man outside who says he's your brother," Lydia informed her.Brother?Thinking it was likely Gabriel, Nyla's expression turned cold. "I don't know him. Tell him to leave.""Understood," Lydia said

Damon put the file down and sat across from Nyla.Noticing two portions of breakfast on the table, he asked, "You haven't eaten either?""No," Nyla replied as she opened the packages and handed one to him. "I came to eat with you. Spencer told me he brought you breakfast this morning, but you didn't touch it.""I was too busy," Damon said."Being busy isn't an excuse to skip meals. I saw your assistants running around like crazy, and I heard they barely got any sleep last night. Is the issue with the company that serious?" Nyla asked."It's significant," Damon admitted. "Our chips might be causing malfunctions in our partner's machines. If that's confirmed, the company will face a massive compensation payout."Nyla frowned, worry flashing in her eyes. "I can't help much with work, but the least I can do is keep things in order at home. By the way, are you coming home tonight?""Probably not," he replied. "There's still a lot to handle.""Alright. Finish your breakfast. I'll hea

Gabriel took the document, skimmed its contents, and his face darkened."What is it?" Tom asked.Gabriel tossed the document onto the table with a cold laugh. "Nothing important. Damon's just trying to catch me off guard."The document contained evidence of Nyce Tech hiring paid posters to smear Prospectus Technology, but Gabriel wasn't worried.Soon enough, those allegations would become the truth.Tom glanced at the papers and grinned. "As long as it's not a big problem. Anyway, I should get going.""Fine, but don't forget your part in this," Gabriel said pointedly.There was a cold glint in Tom's eyes, though his smile remained. "Relax. I won't let you handle Prospectus Technology alone."After Tom left, Gabriel drained his wine in one gulp.As he prepared to head to his study, a maid approached with a concerned expression."Mr. Hackett, Mr. Wilhelm still refuses to eat," the maid informed him.Gabriel had brought Wilhelm straight back to the villa instead of letting him

Damon's expression was icy as he spoke. "I've already sent the head of R&D with a team to investigate. Let's wait for their findings before jumping to conclusions."He added, "The Agihop 6th Gen isn't out yet. If the issue does lie in the Agihop 5th Gen, we should prepare for the worst—compensation payouts and the possibility of... bankruptcy.""What?!" A collective gasp echoed through the room, disbelief etched on everyone's faces."All this over a single batch of faulty machines from the Longbow Company? Isn't that a bit extreme?""Exactly. If the problem is with the Agihop 5th Gen chips, wouldn't paying compensation suffice?""Mr. Sumner, aren't you exaggerating?"The notion that Prospectus Technology could face bankruptcy over a single chip seemed absurd.Meeting their skepticism with a calm demeanor, Damon elaborated, "The news about Longbow Company's machines breaking down after using our chips has already spread.They're attributing the issue to Prospectus Technology's p

Damon's expression remained unmoved. "As I said, we'll investigate thoroughly. Asking us to accept responsibility before the investigation is complete seems unreasonable, doesn't it?"Jeffrey let out a cold laugh. "Fine, Mr. Sumner. But I hope you act quickly. Every day of delay costs us millions. The longer this drags on, the more Prospectus Technology will have to pay."With that, Jeffrey turned and stormed out of the room.Damon, his expression as icy as ever, summoned the head of the R&D department to his office."Take two of your team members to the Longbow Company and investigate the root cause of the machine failures. Determine whether it's our chips," Damon instructed."Mr. Sumner, it can't be our chips! We've invested so much in their development, and they've been on the market for over three years without a single issue. The problem must be elsewhere," the department head replied.Damon's tone sharpened. "I want accurate results based on the investigation—not assumption

Upon noticing Nyla's flushed cheeks, Damon's eyes darkened further."Nyla, need some help with your bath?" he asked, his voice low and enticing.Nyla snapped out of her daze, quickly pushing him away. Her wary gaze made him look like some kind of dangerous predator."No need, I'll do it myself," she replied.If she let him help, they might not come out of the bathroom for two hours.Disappointment flickered in Damon's eyes. "You really don't need help?""Mm-hmm. Now go. If you have nothing to do, play with Buddy downstairs. I'm going to shower," Nyla said, grabbing her pajamas.She darted into the bathroom as though something was chasing her, locking the door behind her with a sharp click.Hearing the lock, Damon chuckled softly, shook his head, and left the bedroom.Downstairs, Mason was playing with toys in the living room. He didn't even glance up at the sound of Damon's footsteps, already able to distinguish between Damon and Nyla's steps. Just as Damon reached the sofa,

Damon raised an eyebrow and said flatly, "It's not about my approval. It's about ensuring the safety of the other children."Gabriel kept his gaze low, anger flickering in his eyes. What else could he say?"Understood. I've learned my lesson today, Mr. Sumner," he gritted through his teeth.The crowd began to disperse.Most parents hurriedly took their children and left, keeping a noticeable distance from Wilhelm and Gabriel as they passed, still wary that Wilhelm might lash out unpredictably.Before long, only Damon, Nyla, and Mason remained at the gate with Gabriel and Wilhelm.Gabriel turned to Damon with a cold expression. "If there's nothing else, Mr. Sumner, I'll take Wilhelm and leave now.""Mr. Hackett, shouldn't your son apologize to Buddy?" Damon asked.Gabriel's expression hardened.Taking a deep breath, he looked down at Wilhelm and said sternly, "Wilhelm, apologize to Buddy."Wilhelm lifted his chin defiantly. "I won't! I didn't do anything wrong!""Wilhelm, beh
