Two very different voices spoke at the same time.

Valarie turned around and saw a tall woman not far behind her. The woman, Jacqueline Rainford, had fair skin and wavy hair, and wore a red strap dress. Jacqueline's hand was pointing at the suit Valarie had her eye on.

Noticing Valarie's gaze, Jacqueline smiled and said, "Miss, I plan to buy this suit as a gift for my boyfriend. We're meeting soon. Could you let me have it?"

Valarie really liked the suit and didn't want to give it up, but Jacqueline's polite request made her hesitate.

The sales associate next to her spoke up. "Ms. Weir, this suit is the only one in our store. As a VIP customer, you have priority purchasing rights."

Upon hearing this, Jacqueline's expression immediately turned sour. There was just one suit—she must have it.

"What do you mean by this? Are you showing favoritism?"

Despite Jacqueline's aggressive tone, the sales associate remained calm, maintaining a professional smile. "Miss, our VIP customers do ha

    Nyla walked over and took Valarie's cold hand, whispering, "Valarie, maybe there's some misunderstanding. Don't be too upset."Valarie nodded. "Mm, I know."She wouldn't believe Jacqueline's words until Tom himself confirmed them in person.Soon, Tom's secretary, Fred Sailor, arrived.He hurried over to Jacqueline, completely unaware of Valarie and Nyla standing nearby. "Ms. Rainford, Mr. Genge is in a meeting, so he sent me."Jacqueline pointed her chin in the direction of Valarie and Nyla. "There, they're the ones trying to take the suit from me."Fred turned to speak but froze when he saw Valarie and Nyla. His face paled."Ms. Weir..."At that moment, Fred had only three words in his mind: "It is over."Valarie was Tom's current girlfriend, while Jacqueline was Tom's childhood friend. Fred hadn't expected Jacqueline to run into Valarie on her first day back in the country, let alone in such an unpleasant situation.Noticing Fred's unusual reaction, Jacqueline frowned. "You

    "No need, you can have him," Valarie said flatly.A man entangled with other women wasn't worth keeping—it would only cause her grief.Jacqueline was stunned and couldn't respond before Valarie turned and walked away.Fred paled and hurried after Valarie. "Ms. Weir, this is a misunderstanding. At least give Mr. Genge a chance to explain."Valarie stopped and looked at him coldly. "Three months ago, he went to Meristate, and I couldn't reach him for three days. Later, he explained he was busy with work. Was he really busy with work?"Seeing Fred's momentary panic, Valarie smirked mockingly. "Now, can you still confidently say this is a misunderstanding?"She did like Tom, but she wasn't a fool. She had chosen not to pursue the matter then, hoping to give him a chance, but he had let her down."Mr. Genge and Ms. Rainford didn't do anything. Ms. Rainford's pet dog died, and she was in a bad state, so Mr. Genge—""No need to explain. It's unnecessary."Jacqueline's confidence in c

    Nyla widened her eyes sharply, shaking off Clark's hand as she took a step back. "What does it have to do with you?""You and Uncle Damon stayed at the same hotel that night," Clark said coldly. "Not long after you left, he left too. And the hotel's surveillance footage from that time was deliberately deleted."If it weren't for a streetlight camera across from the hotel, Clark wouldn't have known any of this. The hotel's surveillance footage of Nyla's comings and goings was deleted. If nothing shady happened, why delete the footage?The more Clark thought about it, the angrier he became. His eyes turned even redder. What he found unusual about Damon's behavior finally had an explanation.Seeing Clark's disappointed look, Nyla laughed coldly. "Clark, do you think I cheated on you just like you did, and with your uncle no less?"Clark didn't speak, but his bloodshot eyes were fixed on her, clearly confirming her suspicion."So, what now? You think I cheated on you. What are you go

    For three years of marriage, Nyla endured constant restrictions, only to be repaid with Clark's infidelity. Now, she was done compromising her happiness. She would live comfortably on her own terms.After finishing her meal, Nyla washed the dishes, brewed a pot of tea, and settled on the balcony with a book, basking in the sunlight. As she read, drowsiness overcame her, and she fell asleep on the lounge chair. When she woke up, dusk had already settled.She washed her face in the bathroom and decided not to make dinner. Grabbing her keys, she headed out to eat. When she opened the door, she was startled to find Clark standing in the shadows and instinctively took a step back."Nyla, it's me." Clark's voice was dry, indicating he had been standing there all afternoon.Nyla frowned. "What are you doing here?""Nyla, can you really not forgive me?"After a moment of silence, Nyla looked at him calmly. "Clark, when you cheated with your secretary, you must have spent a lot of money a

    Nyla nodded. "Yeah.""Your suitor must be quite wealthy. I remember that bracelet symbolizes a lifetime of love for only one person. He must really like you."A discreet flash of sarcasm crossed Nyla's eyes as she placed the bracelet back in its box. "Maybe."Seeing Nyla's lack of enthusiasm, Sasha felt a bit uneasy but didn't press further. Over time, she had learned that although Nyla appeared gentle and approachable, she was very private about certain matters. Besides, they weren’t close enough for such intimate discussions.As Nyla closed the jewelry box, Lucia happened to pass by. She caught a glimpse of the diamond bracelet inside and felt a surge of jealousy. After her previous experience at the bar, she decided not to confront Nyla and walked away.…In the evening, as Nyla exited the company, she saw Clark standing a short distance away. She paused and looked at him.Upon seeing her, Clark quickly approached. "Nyla, let's have dinner together tonight."Nyla lowered her

    Nyla ensured she accounted for everything and reclaimed every penny.When they arrived at the restaurant, Nyla was surprised to find it empty except for them."You booked the whole place?" Nyka asked."Yes, I know you don't like crowded places," Clark replied."I'm used to it now. You don't have to go through so much trouble."Clark looked at Nyla sincerely. "Nyla, we missed out on a lot because I was so busy before. From now on, I'll make sure to give you all the special moments you deserve."His gaze was filled with the same love and tenderness as when they were first in love.Nyla's heart ached, and she turned away, holding back her tears.If he had said this before he cheated, she might have been moved, but it only felt bitter now. From the moment he cheated, there was no going back.Seeing Nyla's silence, Clark reached out to hold her hand, but she pulled away. Disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure."Nyla, we'll take it slow until the

    The real estate agent was stunned when he heard Nyla's commission offer to sell a house. "Ms. Jayston, are you sure the house is in Karlinan?"He was puzzled. If Nyla had a property in Karlinan, why did she need the one-bedroom apartment he had found for her in the old neighborhood?"Yes," she replied. "I'll give you the address and the code. Bring potential buyers to see it, and I'll give you 3% of the sale price as commission."Nyla knew that real estate agents typically took 1-3% of a property's sale price as commission. Given that the fully renovated house in Karlinan could fetch around 1.1-1.2 million dollars, the agent stood to make a decent sum."Ms. Jayston, I have a question. If you already have a place, why did you choose to live in the old neighborhood instead of Karlinan?"Nyla didn’t want to complicate matters, so she replied flatly, "It's not mine. It belongs to a friend.""Oh, got it. Send me the address and code, and I'll take some photos to list the property tomo

    When Nyla caught Clark cheating with Jordyn, it had such a profound impact on her that her mind had gone blank, and she had even forgotten to record video evidence.However, knowing Jordyn's persistence, she would definitely continue pursuing Clark. Once they rekindled their relationship, Nyla could obtain evidence to force Clark to agree to a divorce.Nyla and Clark had been together for eight years, and she didn't want to resort to plotting against him. But he refused to divide their assets and wouldn't agree to a divorce, so she felt she had no other choice.After Nyla explained her requirements to the private detective, their conversation ended. She opened her banking app and stared at the remaining balance of close to 1,000,000 dollars, lost in thought. She needed to find a way to make this money her personal asset.As she was contemplating, her phone suddenly rang. She was surprised to see it was Genevieve."Genevieve, what's up?""Nyla, Mr. Sumner, the CEO of Prospectus Te

    "Got it," Spencer answered.After Spencer left, Damon received a call from Tim."Damon, what's going on with Nyce Tech's Galaxy chip? Did someone in your company really leak the Agihop 6th Gen's data?" Tim asked.Six months earlier, Tim had learned about Prospectus Technology's plans for the Agihop 6th Gen. The fact that Galaxy's breakthroughs mirrored those plans exactly felt far too coincidental."Most likely, yes. I'm currently investigating who leaked the core data," Damon replied.Tim's voice carried a mix of amusement and casualness. "Even if you find the culprit, it'll take a long time to resolve in court."At this rate, it's uncertain whether the Agihop 6th Gen will launch next year. This won't affect our joint investment in the new energy vehicle project, will it?"Damon's gaze darkened. "Don't worry. It won't.""Good to know. Well, I wish you luck with the investigation. I've got a meeting soon, so I'll let you go," Tim said.After hanging up, Damon placed his phone

    As soon as Gabriel's words fell, the room erupted into thunderous applause.The reporter who had asked the question also joined in the clapping before speaking again. "On behalf of the R&D team, I'd like to ask you, Mr. Hackett, how much of a bonus are you planning to give them now that the Galaxy chip has been successfully launched?"Gabriel smiled. "The minimum bonus will start at 30,000 dollars, and I'll also give them a month off to rest and recharge."The room instantly buzzed with excitement.A full month of vacation—something most workers could hardly even dream of—was about to become a reality for the R&D team."Mr. Hackett, are you serious?" The reporter looked almost as excited as if they were the one getting the vacation.Gabriel nodded. "Yes, absolutely.""Haha, then on behalf of the R&D team, thank you, Mr. Hackett!" the reporter cheered.Gabriel smoothly answered the reporters' following questions, and the press conference wrapped up on a positive and harmonious n

    With that, Damon left the room without further explanation, leaving the shareholders puzzled.Soon after, the reason for Damon's urgency became clear.That same day, Nyce Tech unveiled their latest chip, named Galaxy, during a high-profile launch event.The chip's performance specifications, introduced by Gabriel, closely mirrored those of Prospectus Technology's yet-to-be-released Agihop 6th Gen, which was still in the final testing phase.Damon's expression darkened as he watched the press conference footage."Mr. Sumner, it's clear that Galaxy is targeting the Agihop 6th Gen. I suspect someone in the company leaked its data. Otherwise, Nyce Tech couldn't have developed a product so similar," Spencer suggested."Call the R&D department head," Damon ordered.The department head arrived quickly, already aware of the situation."Mr. Sumner, I've already started investigating the R&D team. Within three hours, I'll have a complete report to determine whether anyone leaked the data

    "Just follow my lead, Mr. Genge. I'll handle the rest," Gabriel said."Are you implying you don't trust me, Mr. Hackett?" Tom asked."It's not a matter of trust. I simply want to avoid unnecessary complications. If there's nothing else, please see yourself out," Gabriel said, dismissing him.He picked up the documents on his desk, signaling the end of their discussion.Tom sneered. "Fine, Mr. Hackett. I'll wait to see your results."With that, he turned and left.…For the next few days, Nyla stopped bringing meals to Damon at the office, allowing him to focus on his work.By Friday afternoon, Prospectus Technology's tech team had finally identified the root cause of the widespread machine malfunctions at Longbow.The issue stemmed from the incompatibility between Longbow's equipment and Prospectus Technology's chip. The machines couldn't keep up with the processing speed of the Agihop 5th Gen, leading to failures.However, Longbow adamantly denied ever being informed by Pros

    Back in the car, Gabriel's expression was so dark it seemed he might explode."Mr. Hackett, I don't think Mr. Sumner is likely to collaborate with Nyce Tech. Should we approach Mr. Genge instead?" his secretary asked cautiously.The secretary had doubted Damon would agree to meet with Gabriel from the start, and now it seemed his instincts were right.Although Tim had deceived them, Nyce Tech's losses were still manageable. There was no urgent need to rely on Damon for assistance.Gabriel shot him a cold glare. "What do you know?"The secretary flinched under the stare and dared not speak again."If Damon refuses to meet me, start reaching out to Prospectus Technology's other shareholders. I don't believe they all blindly follow him," Gabriel instructed.The secretary nodded. "Understood.""Take me back to the office," Gabriel said curtly.In Prospectus Technology's CEO office on the top floor…Nyla had just finished setting out the dishes and called Damon over to eat."I'll

    Gabriel suppressed his emotions and forced a smile. "Nyla, are you here with Buddy to bring Mr. Sumner dinner?"Nyla acted as though she hadn't heard him and strode past him into the lobby, her demeanor cold and distant.Gabriel's expression darkened. He stepped in front of her, blocking her path. "Nyla, do you hate me so much that you won't even speak to me?"Nyla frowned. "Please move.""Nyla..." Gabriel's voice softened, his hurt evident. His gaze held a trace of sadness.She looked up at him, her eyes brimming with disdain. "Gabriel, you and I have nothing to do with each other anymore. You've been targeting Prospectus Technology behind the scenes for months. Do you really think we can have a civil conversation?"Her tone carried a clear defense of Damon, stoking jealousy in Gabriel.She only saw his actions against Prospectus Technology but ignored how Damon and Tim had schemed against him together."Nyla, do you know why I named my company Nyce Tech?" he asked abruptly.

    "Why are you here so early?" Damon asked.Upon seeing the dark circles under his eyes, Nyla's heart ached. "Spencer told me about your schedule this morning. Buddy and I missed you, so we came by."Damon walked over. "Yeah, I have to head to a meeting soon and won't have much time to spend with you two.""We understand," Nyla said softly.Damon gave her a brief hug before crouching to embrace Mason. "If all goes well, I might finish early tonight and be home for dinner.""Okay. I brought you breakfast. Eat something before your meeting," Nyla said with a gentle smile.As Damon ate, Mason and Nyla watched him."You've gotten thinner. Are you not eating properly?" Nyla asked, concern evident in her voice.Damon sipped his coffee and reassured her, "It's fine. Things will calm down soon."Just as they were finishing, Spencer entered to remind Damon about the meeting."Bring the materials to the conference room. I'll be right there," Damon instructed.Once Spencer left, he turne

    After Gabriel stormed out, Tim couldn't hold back his laughter. "Haha, Gabriel's expression just now was priceless. I was going to leave him hanging, but he insisted on throwing money at me. He really set himself up for failure."Damon didn't comment.Tim finally stopped laughing and cleared his throat. "You've got an evening flight to catch, right? Let's handle the contract now."Damon walked over and sat across from him, pulling out the contract. "I've already marked the sections that need revisions."Tim took the document, reviewed the highlighted parts, and immediately called his assistant to revise them. Once corrected, the updated version was printed, signed, and stamped.By the time everything was finalized, over an hour had passed.Satisfied, Damon tucked one copy into his bag and stood up. "If any issues come up, let me know."Tim nodded. "Sure."As Damon reached the door, he paused and turned to Tim. "By the way, Gabriel doesn't let things slide. You outmaneuvered him

    After a brief moment of anger, Gabriel regained his composure, his gaze turning cold. "Damon, Mr. Westcott assured me he wouldn't partner with Prospectus Technology. Otherwise, he wouldn't have signed this contract with me. Stop lying."Damon remained unfazed and spoke calmly. "Believe me or not, it makes no difference to me."With that, he turned and continued into Tim's office with Spencer following close behind.Gabriel stared at Damon's retreating back and instructed his secretary, "We're going back inside. I need to see for myself whether Damon or Tim is lying to me."Trailing Damon, Gabriel stormed into Tim's office.Seeing both men enter together, Tim raised an eyebrow in mild surprise. "Mr. Sumner, Mr. Hackett, what brings the two of you here together? Is there an issue with your contract as well, Mr. Hackett?"The subtle emphasis on "as well" struck Gabriel like a ton of bricks. His expression darkened."Mr. Westcott, you assured me at the restaurant that you wouldn't c
