Damon's gaze darkened. "Not yet. The hotel's surveillance was damaged, so I had Spencer check the cameras around the hotel. The most important thing for you tonight is to get some rest. We can handle everything else tomorrow morning.""Got it. Thanks, Uncle Damon," Nyla said gratefully."There's no need to thank me. Although it might not be the best time to say this, happy birthday," Damon wished her.Nyla was momentarily taken aback, then replied softly, "Thank you."If Valarie didn't wake up, she might never enjoy her birthdays again."Get some rest," Damon urged."Okay," Nyla agreed.She went to her room, decorated in the same black, white, and gray scheme as the living room. A faint, pleasant fragrance lingered in the air—one she couldn't identify but found quite nice.After taking a shower, she lay down, expecting to have trouble sleeping, but fatigue soon overcame her, and she drifted into a deep sleep.Unbeknownst to her, shortly after she fell asleep, a maid quietly en

Nyla bit her lower lip hard, not letting go even when she tasted blood.After a long moment, she finally said coldly, "Clark, is that all you can do?!""You're the one pushing me. I just wanted to know where you were last night. That's all. If you refuse to tell me, it only makes me think you're hiding something," Clark insisted.Nyla took a deep breath and enunciated each word, "I stayed at your uncle's house last night."The phone call fell into a suffocating silence.Nyla could clearly hear Clark's breathing becoming heavier. She continued slowly. "Valarie had an accident last night. I was emotionally unstable, and Uncle Damon was worried I might overthink things if I went home, so—"Clark sneered. "So he took you to his house? Nyla, don't tell me nothing happened between the two of you alone!""There was service staff in his house, and it wasn't as sordid as you imagine!" Nyla countered.Clark didn't believe a word of it. "Not as sordid as I think? So you just kissed and hu

Jordyn quickly received a call from Michael at the hospital.When she learned that Clark had donated the kidney to her father, she couldn't contain her joy. She had thought it would take longer for Clark to agree, but it happened so swiftly!Now, she just needed to find a chance to tell Nyla about it. She touched her still-flat belly, her eyes filled with scheming.…All day, Nyla had tried calling Clark more than a dozen times, but he hadn't answered any of her calls.It seemed she would have to wait until he returned from his business trip to explain everything.…Spencer entered the CEO's office with a file and knocked on the door. "Mr. Sumner, we've made some progress on last night's incident."Damon put down his documents and looked up at him.Spencer handed over the file and reported, "We found a suspicious vehicle that left through the hotel's back door shortly after Valarie's incident. This car had a fake license plate and quickly vanished down a road without surveilla

It was unexpected that the suspects would attempt to grab Valarie as she jumped from the building, causing her to hit her head and fall unconscious.Damon's expression darkened. "Take those two to the police station. As for Jacqueline, send a few people to capture her and bring her to Nyla. Let her handle it herself."…Jacqueline had just arrived at the airport when the Rainfords' men blocked her path. She scowled. "Get out of my way! I'll miss my flight!"The leader of the group was the Rainfords' butler, who usually took orders only from Byron."Ms. Rainford, your father wants me to take you back," the butler said."I'm not going back. I'm going abroad! If you don't move, don't blame me for being rude!" Jacqueline yelled.The butler, seemingly unperturbed, signaled to his team. They moved forward and forcibly dragged Jacqueline to the car."Let go of me! You're just the Rainfords' lackeys. Don't touch me! I'll make sure my dad deals with you!" Jacqueline screamed.No matter

Seeing the fear in Jacqueline's eyes, Nyla remained unmoved. Valarie must have been even more terrified when she jumped.Jacqueline gritted her teeth and glared at Nyla. "What do you want, Nyla?"Nyla smiled and said, "I just want you to experience the pain and fear that Valarie went through."Jacqueline's eyes widened. "You wouldn't dare! If you lay a hand on me, the Rainfords will never let you get away with it.""If the Rainfords really wanted to protect you, you wouldn't be here right now, would you?" Nyla sang.Jacqueline felt a surge of terror. After all, Byron had watched her being taken away but had done nothing.The thought that Valarie was still lying in the ICU, not knowing when she might wake up, made Jacqueline tremble uncontrollably.She didn't want to end up like that!"Ms. Jayston, I realize I was wrong. Please, can you spare me? I'll go to Valarie's hospital room and beg for her forgiveness. I'm begging you…" Jacqueline pleaded.Her face was pale with fear, an

"I know I was wrong… I'll go to the police and turn myself in. Will you let me go?" Jacqueline pleaded.Nyla shook her head. "I'm afraid that won't work. Even if you turn yourself in, the Rainfords could still bail you out."What I want is for you to experience the same pain and fear that Valarie went through. Only then will you understand what she endured."Jacqueline felt a wave of despair. She hadn't expected Nyla to be so ruthless. She started to regret listening to Erin and taking action against Valarie. If she had just listened to her parents and apologized to Nyla, she wouldn't be in this desperate situation now.Wait… Erin was the one who had instigated her. If she could just shift the blame onto Erin, maybe she could save herself!At that thought, she looked up at Nyla."Ms. Jayston, Erin was the one who directed me," she revealed.Nyla frowned and looked at her coldly. "Erin has no grievance with Valarie. What could she gain from having you harm Valarie?"Jacqueline s

Nyla turned to the doorway and saw Tom approaching with a cold expression. She sneered. "Mr. Genge, what do you want?"Tom looked at her icily. "Let Jacqueline go.""You should know that Valarie is still unconscious in the ICU because of her. What right do you have to ask me to let her go?" Nyla demanded."Even if you throw her out now, it won't wake Valarie, and she has already been punished as she should be," Tom reasoned.Nyla scoffed. "What punishment?"Tom frowned, finding Nyla's demeanor quite unpleasant. Even now, she wouldn't let Jacqueline go, despite Jacqueline already being in such a dire state."If you throw her out, you'll definitely offend the Rainfords. If the Rainford Group and the Sumner Group clash because of this, the Sumners won't spare you either," Tom warned.Nyla raised an eyebrow and said slowly, "So, Mr. Genge, are you looking out for my best interests?"Tom's gaze grew colder due to the sarcasm in her voice. "Regardless of your intentions, if you dare

"Okay, I'll take you there," Spencer offered."No need. I drove myself," Nyla declined.…Less than half an hour later, Nyla arrived at the hospital. Seeing that Valarie had truly woken up, she let out a deep sigh of relief, and her eyes misted over.When Phoebe saw her, her expression darkened. "Ms. Jayston, you're not welcome here."Valarie frowned and looked at her mother. "Mom, what are you doing?"Phoebe snorted. "If it weren't for her birthday, you wouldn't have ended up in this situation.""These two things have nothing to do with each other," Valarie retorted. "Just because I had an accident on my way to dinner doesn't mean it's my fault for going to that restaurant.""Well, I don't want you to have any more contact with her," Phoebe insisted."Whether or not I stay friends with someone is none of your business!" Valarie asserted."You!" Phoebe was furious, her face turning pale. She slammed the bowl she was holding onto the table and barked, "Fine! You're all grown u

After changing their clothes, Damon led them to a shallower spring more suitable for Mason. He stepped in first to test the temperature, then carefully lowered Mason into the water.As soon as Mason felt the warmth, he beamed. "It's so cozy!"Damon chuckled and let go once he was sure Mason was steady. The shallow depth was perfect for Mason, as the water reached his neck when seated.For Damon and Nyla, however, it was a bit too shallow.After Mason adjusted to the spring, Damon turned to Nyla. "Should we move to one of the deeper springs? This one feels a little chilly."Nyla hesitated, glancing at Mason as he splashed around. "But I'd feel uneasy leaving Buddy here alone.""I'll call for some staff to keep an eye on him. He'll be fine," Damon said.After a moment of thought, Nyla nodded. "Alright."Once the staff arrived to supervise Mason, Damon led Nyla to a nearby, deeper spring.As she sank into the warm water, which reached up to her shoulders, she sighed in satisfacti

Drake stormed off, his anger radiating with each step.Reaching his car, he kicked the door hard in frustration. The action brought little relief, so he pulled out his phone and dialed a number."Put a hold on the collaboration between MK and the Kinsey Group. Don't move forward until I return," he commanded.Whatever the person on the other end said only fueled his fury."Do as I say! I'll take full responsibility for any consequences!" he growled before abruptly ending the call.Breathing deeply to suppress his rage, Drake yanked open the car door and sped away.…Two hours later, Damon pulled up to a luxury hot springs resort.Nyla's face lit up with delight as she turned to him. "I've always wanted to visit this place, but you've been so busy with work that I never mentioned it."Damon smiled. "Spencer recommended it. I might have to give him a raise when we get back."In the back seat, Mason's curiosity was piqued—he'd never been to a resort before.As the family exited

"Enough with the overthinking!" Lydia chided. "Take this time to relax. Once they're back, you'll probably be driving late nights again.""Fair enough," Walter remarked.…In the car, Damon glanced at Nyla. "The place we're going is a bit far. You and Buddy should rest. I'll wake you when we get there."She nodded. "Okay."Leaning back, she closed her eyes but couldn't fall asleep. Thoughts of leaving Damon and Mason in just three days weighed heavily on her.After a while, she opened her eyes, gazing at Damon with a mixture of longing and reluctance.Sensing her stare, Damon turned to her briefly. "What's wrong? Can't sleep?""Yeah," she admitted softly. "I just wanted to look at you. Don't mind me."Damon smiled. "Nyla, do you really think I can drive normally with you staring at me like that?"His teasing tone made her roll her eyes. "Buddy's here. Be serious!"From the back seat, Mason piped up, "Mommy, I covered my eyes! Pretend I'm not here. I can't see or hear anythin

Nyla and Damon exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh."Let's go upstairs and pack too," Damon suggested. "Otherwise, Buddy will be all done and rushing us."Nyla nodded. "Alright."The two headed to their bedroom, each packing clothes for the next few days.Since Nyla needed to gather her skincare products and makeup, Damon finished first. He walked over, intending to help, but she waved him off."Just stay put," she said. "If you touch this, you'll mess up everything I've just organized. Besides, you don't even know what's what."Damon chuckled, leaning against the dresser. "Fine. I'll just watch you."He didn't argue—makeup wasn't his forte. To him, all the lipsticks looked the same, though Nyla insisted there were big differences.It took another ten minutes before she finally zipped up her bag.Damon grabbed their suitcases and carried them downstairs, where Mason was already waiting.Upon seeing them, Mason's eyes lit up. "Mommy, Daddy! Are we leaving now? Where

Harrison's response was immediate. "I'm not going. I've lived in Saintornia all my life, and I'm used to it here. Besides, with my health as it is, I don't have many years left anyway. I'd rather not move around."Nyla's heart sank. "Dad, you'll live a long and healthy life."Harrison gave a faint smile. "At my age, with my body the way it is, every day is a gift. The only thing I can't stop worrying about is you. Otherwise, whether I live or die wouldn't matter to me.""Please take care of yourself," she implored."I will. Since your mother is willing to entrust the company she's built over the years to you, make sure you work hard and don't let her down," he advised.In Harrison's mind, Emerald was still the gentle and kind woman he'd known years ago. He had no reason to doubt what Nyla told him."I will," Nyla replied.After sitting with him a while longer and discussing a few things, she finally took her leave.When she returned to the car, her eyes were red, and tears shim

Nyla bit her lip, forcing a lighthearted tone. "I was just talking casually. Don't take it seriously. Besides, you're not the type to believe in these things anyway, right?""But when it comes to you, I can't afford not to believe," Damon replied."I promise I'll make sure to come back safely. Besides, no matter what, she's still my mother. She wouldn't truly harm me," Nyla reasoned."Alright," Damon answered.The two hugged quietly for a while before Damon finally loosened his grip on Nyla. Still, his gaze remained fixed on her, unwavering.Feeling his intense stare, Nyla shifted uncomfortably. "Why are you staring at me like that?""I just want to take a good look at you," he said.Nyla pressed her lips together before leaning up to plant a kiss on his lips. "I'm tired. Let's sleep.""Alright." Damon turned off the light, plunging the bedroom into darkness. The only illumination came from the soft moonlight streaming through the cracks in the curtains.Snuggling into Damon's

Understanding Nyla's concerns, Damon reassured her, "Don't worry. I won't do anything."They had only three days left together. He wished time would slow down so he could savor every moment with her. He had no intention of wasting even a second.Nyla shot him a skeptical look. "Really?""Really. I swear," he replied with a serious expression.Reluctantly, she nodded. "Alright, but you have to keep your word.""Of course," Damon promised.Once upstairs, he handed her a towel. "You go ahead and shower first.""Okay," Nyla replied.As the sound of running water filled the room, Damon walked to the window, pulled out his phone, and made a call."Prepare for departure to Meristate tomorrow. The mission is to protect someone indefinitely," he instructed.The voice on the other end said something, and Damon replied, "It's my wife, Nyla Kinsey."After ending the call, Damon slipped his phone into his pocket and gazed at the night sky, his expression hardening. He vowed their separat

After what felt like a long time, there was a knock at the study door."Come in," Damon called.Nyla opened the door and stepped inside, surprised to find Damon standing by the window. "Damon, don't you have work to do?"Damon turned to face her. "No, I rescheduled everything for the next few days. I also called Buddy's kindergarten to request some time off for him.""Mm." Nyla nodded. "There's something I wanted to discuss with you.""What is it?" Damon asked."I just saw one of Buddy's reward requests. He wants to go on a trip with both of us. I was thinking... maybe the three of us could spend the next three days together and take a short trip," Nyla suggested.A flicker of surprise crossed Damon's face before he nodded. "Alright, I'll find a resort for us.""Thank you," Nyla replied."There's no need for thanks between us," Damon said softly, then paused. "But... how do you plan to tell Buddy about you leaving?"The question made Nyla falter, her gaze dropping to the floo

Damon nodded. "Alright. I'll do everything I can to grow Prospectus Technology. I'll bring you back."Nyla couldn't help but smile. "Good. Don't look so serious. After all, she is still my mom. She wouldn't go that far."Damon forced a small smile. "When are you leaving?""In three days," Nyla answered."That soon?" Damon asked."Yes. So I want to spend these next three days with you and Buddy," Nyla replied.Damon nodded. "I'll clear my schedule for the next three days. I'll also call Buddy's kindergarten to excuse him from class.""Okay," Nyla replied.Just then, there was a knock at the door, followed by Mason's voice. "Mommy? Are you in there? I finished my list!"Nyla quickly wiped her tears and said, "I'm here, Buddy! Wait for me in the living room. I'll be right out."She turned to Damon and said, "I'll go check on Buddy. Finish up here and join us when you're done."Damon nodded silently, and Nyla left the study.After a quick stop in the bathroom to wash her face a
