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

"Oh, okay," Melody replied.Nyla looked away, her expression calm. "Let's go."Even after they left the venue, Melody remained visibly excited. "Nyla, thank you so much for today! After listening to the conference, I'm even more determined to pursue a career in drug research."Seeing Melody's flushed cheeks and bright, sparkling eyes, Nyla couldn't help but smile. "What made you suddenly think of this?"Previously, when their experiments kept failing, Melody had been noticeably down for a few days, feeling frustrated. Nyla had feared she might give up, but Melody persisted and now seemed even more committed to this path."I heard Caroline say that their experiments failed over a thousand times, but they still kept going. I think that's amazing. I want to be like them—standing up there someday, sharing my experiences," Melody gushed.She looked a little embarrassed at this point. "I've never really stuck with anything before. Now I want to commit to drug research."Nyla nodded. "

Caroline couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. She turned back to Nyla with a questioning look, but Nyla showed no reaction.Nyla simply said, "Let's go. We're going to be late for our reservation."With that, Nyla took Caroline by the arm and headed toward the parking lot, offering no further explanation.Rebecca bit her lip, unable to resist glancing at Damon.When she saw his gaze fixed on Nyla's departing figure, she dug her nails into her palms. Jealousy bloomed like wild grass in her heart, intensifying her dislike for Nyla.She lowered her eyes, masking her emotions perfectly."Damon... Ms. Lovell is good friends with Ms. Jayston. Ms. Jayston doesn't like me. Do you think she'll speak poorly of me to Ms. Lovell? If Ms. Lovell starts to dislike me too..." she muttered.Her hesitant tone caused Damon to frown."I've already agreed to invest in their lab. Whether she likes you or not, their latest anti-cancer drug will still be available to you," Damon replied.

Rebecca smiled bitterly. "I've got less than three months left. There's no point in fighting over these things. After three months, I'll give Damon back to her."As soon as she finished speaking, Nathaniel grabbed her hand and said seriously, "Rebecca, don't talk like that. Damon has already invested in Caroline's research lab, and the drug is close to being developed. You're going to be okay!"Rebecca's gaze was wry. "The drug is still in the trial phase. No one can be sure if it will work, and there might be side effects."Seeing her so pessimistic, Nathaniel felt a pang in his heart, his eyes instantly filling with pain."Rebecca, you used to be so optimistic. Now you've become so negative, which isn't like you. You should be strong and resilient, never letting anything get you down. And I believe that drug will work!" he encouraged.Rebecca lowered her eyes and said softly, "I want to be strong, but I just can't. Besides... Damon doesn't love me anymore. He only agreed to get

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

"Mr. Westcott, I'll return the money to him right away," Crystal said quickly.Tim waved dismissively. "No need. Tomorrow, go to the finance department and collect 8,000,000 dollars. After that, you don't need to come to the company."Crystal's face turned pale. She knew all too well that this sum of money was a breakup fee."Mr. Westcott, I truly realize my mistake. Please, give me another chance..." she pleaded, reaching out to grab his sleeve.The moment she saw the cold look in his eyes, her hand froze mid-air, and she dared not move any closer.Tim stood tall, looking down at her with an icy expression. He spoke slowly. "You should be grateful to Mr. Hackett. If he'd only given you a few hundred thousand, that's all you'd be getting from me as well. But 15,000,000 dollars in total for three years? I'd say that's more than enough."He added, his tone final, "I don't want to make this uglier than it has to be. Let's part on good terms."Crystal's face went ashen. She wanted t

"Would you happen to have a moment later? I'd love to discuss something," Gabriel asked.Tim smiled. "What a coincidence. I suppose I can spare a few minutes for a chat.""Excellent," Gabriel replied.Standing, Crystal smoothed her dress. "I'll freshen up."She knew better than to linger during Tim's business discussions."Your lipstick needs touching up. Take your time," Tim said mildly."Of course," Crystal answered.She found a quiet spot and sat for over half an hour, waiting until she received a bank notification confirming a deposit of 7,000,000 dollars.Satisfied, she returned to the table, only to find Tim dining alone."Tim, when did Mr. Hackett leave?" she asked, quickening her pace to sit across from him.Tim continued cutting his steak with deliberate precision. "No talking while eating."Although his tone was calm, Crystal had been with him long enough to sense his simmering anger.She pressed her lips together, instinctively explaining, "Tim, I'm sorry. Mr. Ha

By midday, Tim still refused to see Gabriel.Gabriel, considering taking a break and returning later, received a call from his secretary."Mr. Hackett, I found out Mr. Westcott has a girlfriend. Perhaps she could help arrange a meeting," his secretary said.A spark lit in Gabriel's eyes. "Send me her details right away."The secretary quickly forwarded the information.Tim's girlfriend, Crystal Glasco, came from an average family and worked as his assistant.Her background was straightforward—a bachelor's degree and a job at the Westcott Group right after graduation, where she became Tim's assistant.Their relationship, however, was more about Tim keeping her than about them being equals. That said, their three years together suggested Tim held some level of affection for her.After reviewing the details, Gabriel immediately called his secretary back. "Find a way to contact Crystal. I need to meet her today."…At around 8:00 p.m., Crystal entered an upscale restaurant in Cap

Under Tim's leadership, the Westcott Group maintained its position as one of the top four families in Capitarnia, leaving the other three far behind.After reading the file, Gabriel closed it and asked coldly, "I asked you to arrange a meeting with Mr. Westcott. What's their response?"The secretary hesitated. "Mr. Hackett, Mr. Westcott's secretary hasn't responded. It seems they aren't interested in meeting with you."Gabriel wasn't fazed. The document made it clear that Tim was proud and highly selective in his dealings. Such a person wasn't easily approached.For Damon to even gain the Westcott Group's consideration, he must have put in significant effort.Still, there was an opportunity as long as the contract wasn't signed."No need to wait for a reply. I'll go to the Westcott Group myself tomorrow morning," Gabriel said."Understood, Mr. Hackett," the secretary replied.…At 7:00 a.m. the next day, Gabriel was already standing outside the Westcott Group. The sun hadn't f
