Before long, Spencer discovered that Clark was secretly meeting with a representative from the company Prospectus Technology intended to partner with next month.He quickly reported, "Mr. Sumner, Mr. Clark is meeting with Mr. Maddock at Pineer for lunch today."Damon's gaze turned icy. "Book a table.""Understood," Spencer replied.At noon…When Clark arrived at Pineer, he ran into Damon, and his expression shifted slightly."Uncle Damon, what are you doing here?" he asked.Damon raised an eyebrow and replied with a faint smile, "What's the matter? Just because you're here, does that mean I can't be?"Clark's gaze hardened slightly, but he managed a smile. "It's just unexpected to run into you while having lunch.""Quite a coincidence," Damon said, playing along.They walked into the restaurant together.As Clark watched Damon head toward Room 8, which he had reserved, his expression darkened. Just as Damon was about to reach the door, Clark stepped in front of him."Uncle

"Mr. Maddock, my secretary has already revised the contract and should be arriving in about five minutes," Clark replied.Peter's frown deepened, and he looked visibly displeased. "Mr. Sumner, we've already agreed on the partnership. Why the rush? Do you think I'm going to back out?"Noticing Peter's displeasure, Clark quickly attempted to explain, "No, Mr. Maddock, that's not what I meant.""Then what do you mean? I've told you I need to catch a flight, yet you're holding me up. Mr. Sumner, I have other options too!" With that, Peter stood up and left.As he opened the door, Damon emerged from the adjacent Room 9.Clark hurried after Peter. "Mr. Maddock… I can arrange a car to take you…"Before he could finish, he noticed Damon standing by the door, and his expression soured.Peter also noticed Damon and was taken aback. He quickly approached Damon. "Mr. Damon, what are you doing here? Mr. Clark said you were too busy to handle the negotiations, which is why he's doing it with

Avoiding eye contact with Damon, Clark lowered his head. "Uncle Damon, I realize I was wrong…"Damon's anger morphed into a chuckle. "Realize you were wrong? Do you understand that what you did is a crime? You used Prospectus Technology's name to deceive other companies into signing contracts with yours. If this gets out, you could be taken to court!"He was astonished by Clark's audacity.Clark, now genuinely terrified, looked up at Damon with fear. "Uncle Damon, I understand my mistake. When my dad handed over the company to me, the funds were nearly depleted. If I didn't secure partnerships with some major companies, the company would soon go bankrupt. "Please, just give me one chance. I promise I won't make the same mistake again!"Upon seeing Clark's frightened and guilty demeanor, Damon's anger intensified. "Realizing your mistake doesn't excuse the fact that you committed it in the first place."The room fell into silence.After a long pause, Clark finally looked up at D

Many researchers were eager to attend the conference, but the entry requirements were stringent, and invitations were difficult to obtain."My senior gave it to me. This conference aligns perfectly with her research focus," Nyla explained."Wow, your senior sounds amazing! Nyla… I'm really interested in this conference. Could you take me with you?" Melody asked eagerly.Nyla hesitated but then said, "I'll ask my senior if I can bring an extra person.""Great!" Melody exclaimed.Nyla sent a message to Caroline and soon received a reply that it was okay.When she learned she could attend the conference with Nyla, Melody's face lit up with excitement. "Nyla, thank you so much! I'm really grateful!""Alright. Let's clean up the lab and get ready to leave for the day," Nyla suggested.With that, she got up and headed toward the lab, with Melody quickly following.After they left, Gabriel glanced at the invitation Nyla had left on the desk, his eyes flickering with unspoken thoughts

As soon as Damon stepped out of the car, someone else appeared at the entrance of the apartment building.Damon's stride faltered, and his expression immediately hardened.Gabriel positioned himself in front of Nyla.Nyla's face, though free of makeup, remained strikingly beautiful, causing Gabriel's heart to stir as he gazed at her."Do you need something?" she asked, her tone frosty.Sensing her coldness, Gabriel looked somewhat disappointed but managed a forced smile. "Nyla, I just returned from visiting your dad. He misses you. If you're free tomorrow night, let's go see him together."Nyla pressed her lips together. "Okay. If I'm free, I'll go."Eager to avoid further interaction with Gabriel, she turned to leave.Just as Gabriel was about to call after her, he felt a cold stare. Turning, he saw Damon approaching, his face stormy.Nyla noticed Damon too. Her gaze flickered with confusion. He had publicly reconciled with Rebecca—why was he there?With that thought in mind

"Clark said he loved me, but that didn't stop him from cheating with Jordyn. You say you love me, but that doesn't stop you from getting back together with Rebecca. I guess, in your minds, your feelings are worth a lot. Just because you like me, I'm supposed to be grateful and accept whatever you do," Nyla said.Damon frowned. "That's not what I mean..."Nyla smiled. "It doesn't matter what you mean. Since you chose Rebecca over me, there's no chance for us. It's that simple."The calmness in her gaze stirred a sense of panic in Damon. He felt like he was really losing her."Nyla…" he started."We've already said everything that needs to be said. There's no point in dragging this out. Let's end it here," Nyla concluded.Their love had always been unequal, never truly balanced. She'd rather not have such love at all.…Back home, Nyla had just sat on the couch when her phone rang. It was a call from William."Ms. Jayston, your assets with Mr. Sumner have been divided. Your shar

Nyla checked the time—it was only 7:00 a.m., and the conference didn't start until 9:00 a.m."Isn't it a little early for you to be here?" she asked groggily, still not fully awake.Melody's voice was filled with excitement. "I couldn't sleep, so I got up early. I brought breakfast for you, but don't worry. I'll just walk around outside until you're ready."Nyla sighed, feeling a bit helpless. She told Melody which floor she lived on so she could come up and wait inside.By the time Nyla finished getting ready, it was just past 8:00 a.m. The two of them arrived at the conference venue before 8:30 a.m.As they approached the entrance, a black Maybach and a Rolls-Royce pulled up beside them.The doors of the Maybach opened, and Rebecca and Damon stepped out. From the Rolls-Royce behind them emerged Nathaniel.As soon as they exited their cars, conference staff members enthusiastically greeted them. "Mr. Sumner, Mr. Preston, Ms. Austen, welcome to the conference. Please allow me to

"In the past year, our team has worked tirelessly, delving deep into the mechanisms of cancer and exploring new treatment strategies. Today, I am proud to announce that we've developed a 'Long-acting Drug'," Brendan said, his voice brimming with pride."This 'Long-acting Drug' not only exhibits a high level of specificity, precisely targeting cancer cells, but it also maintains therapeutic effects in the body for an extended period. This means cancer patients can expect longer survival times and an improved quality of life."Brendan's announcement was met with enthusiastic applause and cheers from the audience.As Brendan finished his speech, other researchers began presenting their findings.Caroline was the fifth speaker. Dressed in a simple white lab coat with her hair neatly tied back, she projected a professional and capable image.She started by displaying a series of detailed experimental data charts.Pointing to the data on the screen, she explained, "These are the result

For the next few years, Emerald would likely be too consumed with internal struggles to trouble Damon and Nyla.Nyla lowered her gaze. "Either way, what happens in Meristate no longer concerns us. I just want our family to stay together.""Mm," Damon murmured in agreement.…Over the next few days, Brandon focused solely on suppressing the online accusations of ingratitude. He worked late into the night, desperately trying to contain the fallout.Jayden stormed into Brandon's office, noticing that Brandon seemed more concerned with the company's reputation than visiting Michelle."Brandon, have you lost your mind over Valarie? You need to see Michelle today, no matter what!" Jayden demanded.Brandon's expression remained cold. "I already told you, I'm not going. I'm busy. Please leave."Jayden's face darkened as he grabbed the file from Brandon's hands. "Are you really willing to throw away our friendship over a woman?""She's not just any woman—she's my girlfriend.

"It's not too early. It's just the right time," Valarie replied."Alright then," Nyla conceded and sat down beside her. "Well, on behalf of the baby, I'll say thank you in advance."Valarie reached out and gently touched Nyla's still-flat stomach. Her voice softened. "Baby, when you're born, your godmother will have an even bigger gift waiting for you.""What kind of gift?" Nyla asked.Valarie shot her a playful glance. "You'll find out when the time comes."As they chatted, Damon returned home. He was a little surprised to see Valarie but still greeted her, "Ms. Weir.""Good afternoon, Mr. Sumner," Valarie returned the greeting.Nyla turned to Damon. "Why are you back so early?""I came to grab a file. Figured I'd check in on you while I was here," Damon answered.Valarie rolled her eyes. "Hey, hey, can you not be so publicly affectionate? Some of us are still single, you know!"Nyla laughed. "Aren't you getting along pretty well with that younger guy?"At the mention of

Brandon's phone rang again.Seeing it was Damon, he took a deep breath before answering. "Uncle Damon.""What's going on with this trending news?" Damon asked.After a brief pause, Brandon replied, "I'll handle it. Don't worry about it.""I'm asking what happened. You and Jayden are friends. Why are you letting something this small turn into a scandal?" Damon questioned."It was my mistake. I promise I'll take care of it today," Brandon assured him."Good." Damon didn't say more before hanging up.Brandon set his phone down and immediately called the PR manager. "Get that trending topic taken down. No matter the cost."The PR manager hesitated. "Mr. Sumner, we've been trying to remove it. But each time we negotiate, the Gilmour Group raises their bid to keep it up. That's why it's still trending."Brandon frowned, silent for a long moment.The manager continued cautiously. "I remember you and Mr. Gilmour are close. Maybe you could speak to him directly and see what it would t

Valarie pulled out her phone and saw a message from a friend.[Valarie, you need to check the trending topics online! Jayden just exposed Brandon to the media for being ungrateful to his lifesaver.]She pressed her lips together, her thoughts momentarily frozen.After a brief hesitation, she searched for the news.A journalist had posted an accusation against Brandon, claiming he had neglected Michelle, the woman who had been injured while saving him. Since her hospitalization, he hadn't visited her once.The comments were scathing, condemning Brandon as a heartless capitalist with no sense of gratitude.Across the table, Stefan noticed Valarie's sudden pallor. "Veevee, is something wrong? You look really pale."His voice pulled her from her thoughts. She quickly placed her phone face down on the table, forcing a smile. "It's nothing, just some news I saw."Stefan didn't press her further, though his gaze lingered on her phone.Their food arrived soon after.After lunch, they

Stefan took the clothes and walked into the fitting room.As he changed, he glanced at the price tags. The shirt cost 2,427.99 dollars, and the pants were 1,231.50 dollars. Together, they nearly totaled a year's worth of his part-time wages.Stefan took a deep breath, shook off his thoughts, and stepped out. "Veevee, how does it look? Does it fit?"Valarie turned to look at him, momentarily stunned. A satisfied smile spread across her face as she walked over and smoothed out the wrinkles on his sleeve."Mm, looks great. Try on the other sets too. Oh, and these—I just picked them out. Try them as well," she said."Alright." Stefan obediently tried on more than a dozen outfits without complaining.In the end, Valarie bought everything he had tried on, including the shoes.As they left the store, the sales associate beamed, walking them to the entrance. "Ms. Weir, we look forward to your next visit!"With so many shopping bags in hand, continuing to browse wasn't practical.Valar

Valarie no longer believed Brandon."Valarie..." Brandon reached out to take her hand, but she quickly stepped away."As for what happens next, let's talk about it after you actually follow through on our bet," she said.…The next morning, just as Valarie finished washing up, she received a message from Stefan.Stefan: [Good morning, Veevee! Are you up yet? The weather's nice today. Want to go out and have some fun?]Valarie: [No, I have things to do today.]Stefan: [Oh... okay...]Seeing the sighing emoji he sent, Valarie couldn't help but smile.She remembered last night when they'd been walking around campus. Stefan's shoes were so worn from washing that the color had faded, and the edges were frayed. Her smile faded a little.After a moment of thought, she sent him another message, asking if he was free to go shopping with her.Stefan replied almost immediately, his cheerful tone evident. They agreed to meet at the university gate in an hour.…An hour later, Valarie

Then, Stefan was enveloped by the fragrance.When Valarie's arms wrapped around his waist, his body stiffened as though he had been struck by an electric jolt.Before he could respond, she had already released him.Smiling, she said, "Thanks for dinner and for showing me around campus tonight. Goodnight.""G-Goodnight..." Stefan stammered.As Valarie walked away, the faint scent of gardenias lingered for a moment before fading, leaving Stefan with an inexplicable sense of loss.He stood there, watching her car until it disappeared from view. Only then did he snap back to reality and head toward his dorm.Just as he reached the building, his phone rang. Seeing the name "Michelle" on the screen, he hesitated before stepping aside to answer."What do you want?" he asked."Nothing much. Just wondering how things are going with Valarie," Michelle replied."It's whatever. If that's all, I'm hanging up," Stefan said.A cold laugh echoed from the other end of the line. "Stefan, if y

"Fine, Brandon. Don't regret this!" Jayden snapped and hung up the phone.Brandon set his phone down and walked out of his office.…When Jayden returned to the hospital ward, Michelle looked at him with anticipation. "Jayden, what did Brandon say? Did he agree to come?"Meeting Michelle's hopeful gaze, Jayden pressed his lips together and lowered his eyes, unable to meet hers. "Michelle... Brandon's been really busy with work lately, so he doesn't have time to visit. But once he's less busy, he'll come see you—""You don't have to lie to me," Michelle cut him off, her gaze falling as she gave a self-deprecating smile. "He's not busy… He just doesn't want to come, does he?""Michelle..." Jayden walked over to the bedside, wanting to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say."Jayden, can I have some time alone?" Michelle asked quietly.Seeing the heartbreak on her face, Jayden felt a sharp pang of sadness. He also felt a growing sense of unfairness toward her.She had been i

Valarie raised an eyebrow and called Stefan.The call was answered almost immediately, followed by a nervous voice. "V-Veevee? You're calling me?""Did I interrupt anything?" Valarie asked."N-No! Not at all! I'm just surprised, that's all," Stefan replied.Valarie smiled. "Have you eaten yet?""I... uh... n-not yet... There's a new menu in the cafeteria. It's really good. Want to come try it?" Stefan asked.His cautious, hopeful tone tugged at Valarie's heart."Sure. Give me 20 minutes," Valarie said.After hanging up, she drove straight to Saintosh University.…The moment Valarie parked near the entrance, she saw Stefan walking toward her.She stepped out of the car and met him halfway. "Have you been waiting for me this whole time?"Stefan shook his head. "No, I just got here."As he spoke, he avoided her gaze, his eyes darting nervously.They walked across campus together, Stefan eagerly pointing out buildings and landmarks.Valarie laughed. "You know, I actually at
