Caroline paused before smiling. "Alright. I'll be waiting for you in Capitarnia.""Sure," Nyla promised.After Caroline entered the hotel, Nyla drove off.Halfway home, her phone suddenly rang.Seeing that it was an unknown number, she decided not to answer. The caller didn't try again but sent a text message instead.It wasn't until Nyla parked downstairs that she checked the message.[Ms. Jayston, my father was one of the victims of the Harris Pharmaceuticals incident six years ago. I saw in the news that you found evidence and sent Cyrus Sumner to the police. I also have some evidence and would like to give it to you. Please contact me if you see this message.]After reading the text, Nyla tightened her grip on her phone but didn't rush to reply.Cyrus had been in custody for a while, and this person was just now reaching out. It seemed a bit suspicious.After a moment of consideration, she decided to ignore it for the time being.If the other party was genuinely desperate

Seeing Clark's pleading look, Nyla wondered how he had the nerve to seek her out. And to ask her to help for the sake of the love they once shared?If she could go back in time, she would have thrown the flowers right back at him and told him to get lost when he confessed his feelings."I can't help you. You caused this, and you should face the consequences," she said.She brushed past him and headed for the elevator.Nyla had barely taken two steps when he grabbed her hand.Clark's eyes were bloodshot, and his once-handsome face was contorted with rage, making him look somewhat terrifying."Nyla, are you really this heartless? When we divorced, you took over 700,000 dollars from me, and now you won't even ask Damon for help? I'll ask you one more time: Are you going to help me or not?!" Clark's eyes were wide with resentment, and his breathing was ragged.Nyla's heart sank.Clark was clearly agitated. Who knew what he might do if she refused?"Fine… I'll talk to him for you.

Although Clark was holding Nyla, her displeasure was evident.Clearly, she was unhappy with the situation. Additionally, his hand was concealed inside her coat, which seemed highly suspicious."What are you doing here?" Damon demanded.His cold gaze settled on Clark as he tapped lightly on the desk, emanating an oppressive aura.Clark leaned closer to Nyla and whispered, "Speak."His hand, hidden behind Nyla, shifted slightly, causing her to go rigid.At that moment, Damon finally realized what felt so off.His eyes turned icy as he fixed his sharp gaze on Clark. It was as if it could cut through him at any moment."Clark, it seems you really want to join your father!" Damon threatened.Intimidated by Damon's aura, Clark's hand on Nyla's waist trembled.He took a deep breath and forced himself to meet Damon's eyes. "Uncle Damon, if I hadn't done this, you wouldn't have agreed to see me, right?""I'm giving you three seconds to let her go. Otherwise, I'll ensure you understan

Clark shook his head. "How could that be? I just hope you understand that someone with nothing can be fearless."He turned and left after speaking.Back in the car, Clark shook his sleeve, and a knife fell out, its blade glinting coldly.He picked it up and sneered. If Damon hadn't agreed earlier, this knife would have been pressed against Nyla's neck.He wouldn't have done that unless absolutely necessary, though. After all, Nyla was once his wife.…Only Nyla and Damon remained in the office.The room fell into silence, with neither of them speaking.Nyla took a deep breath and looked at Damon. "Mr. Sumner, I'm really sorry about this morning. I didn't expect him to show up and use me to threaten you."Damon frowned. "You don't need to apologize for what Clark did."Her pale face clearly indicated Clark's actions had shaken her.."I also caused you trouble, and I appreciate you saving me. If there's nothing else, I'll get back to work now," Nyla added.As she turned to le

"Maybe," Nyla answered.Damon released her and stepped back, his expression returning to its usual coldness."Alright. I won't bother you again until I've sorted things out with Rebecca," he promised.After Nyla left, Damon dialed an international number. "How's the investigation progressing?""Mr. Sumner, we're still looking into it. However, Ms. Austen's previous hospital was a private facility with strict privacy protections, so I haven't been able to access her medical records yet," the other party reported."I want results within three days!" Damon barked.After ending the call, Damon set his phone down, his eyes icy with frustration. Rebecca had better not be lying to him!Spencer knocked and entered the office with several documents. "Mr. Sumner, these are the files for this afternoon's meeting.""Mm." Damon glanced up and said in a low voice, "Send someone to keep an eye on Clark. Make sure he doesn't get a chance to approach Nyla again."Spencer hesitated for a moment

When Nyla arrived at the lab, it was close to the start of her shift.She had just changed into her white lab coat and walked in when she saw Melody with her head down, furiously typing on her phone, her face flushed.Hearing footsteps, Melody suddenly looked up. Upon seeing Nyla, she quickly hid her phone behind her, looking somewhat guilty."Nyla..." she said."Mm, let's get ready for the experiment," Nyla replied.Noticing Nyla's nonchalance, Melody couldn't help but think about the harsh comments she had seen in the group chat about Nyla, which made her blood pressure rise.They hadn't interacted with Nyla personally, so why were they speaking about her like that? Moreover, Melody was certain Nyla wouldn't get involved with someone like Clark again.However, the leaked photo did seem to show Clark hugging Nyla, and they did appear quite intimate.Melody wanted to ask Nyla about it but feared Nyla might think she didn't believe her, like those others.Her preoccupation with

The two of them didn't discuss the matter further, and Melody quickly refocused on her experiments.…On his way back to the company, Clark received a call from Jordyn."Clark, did you go see Nyla?" Jordyn's tone was accusatory and filled with anger.Clark frowned and replied coldly, "Jordyn, have you forgotten your place? You have no right to question me.""No right? Don't forget we're married now, and I'm carrying your child! You were out in public hugging Nyla—how can you treat me like this?" Jordyn cried.Clark let out a cold laugh. "You really think that just because we registered our marriage, you get to control my life? I can get a divorce just as easily as I got married. If you don't know your place, feel free to leave!"He ended the call without giving Jordyn a chance to respond, threw his phone onto the passenger seat, and drove the car with a scowl.He was already regretting marrying Jordyn on impulse and the trouble it had caused.As Clark was contemplating when to

Jordyn's eyes widened in shock."Who are you?! What nonsense are you talking about?" she cried out.A light laugh came through on the other end of the line. "Whether it's nonsense or not, you know in your heart. If I don't see you in an hour, be prepared to face the consequences."The call ended with a click, snapping Jordyn out of her daze. Her mind raced as she paced anxiously in the living room.She had already dealt with Holden Vance, so there shouldn't be anyone else who knew about this. How could the caller possibly know?If Clark discovered that the child wasn't his, he would certainly not let her off easily.The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became.There was no time to dwell on it. Palate Royale was at least a half-hour drive away. Regardless of whether the caller had real evidence, she had no choice but to go there.Taking a deep breath to steady herself, Jordyn grabbed her car keys and headed out.…Forty minutes later, Jordyn pulled up to the ent

Watching Mason dash away, Nyla couldn't help but smile. But that smile quickly faded as she thought about their imminent separation."Nyla, why are you staring after Buddy like that?" Damon's voice snapped her back to reality.She turned to him, quickly masking her sadness. "Oh, nothing. I was just thinking about how fast time flies. Buddy's already five years old."Damon slid an arm around her waist. "It might feel fast to you, but not to me. When I think about the five years we lost, I can't help but feel regret. If we'd been together all that time, the three of us would've been so happy."The mention of those lost years made Nyla sigh.If only she had trusted Damon more back then, they wouldn't have missed out on so much time together.And now, just as they had reunited, they were about to be separated again."I'm sorry, Damon..." she murmured.Seeing the guilt in her eyes, Damon pulled her into his arms, his voice soft. "There's nothing to apologize for. For me, as long as

After getting dressed and stepping out of the break room, Nyla spotted Damon sitting behind his desk, looking refreshed as he worked.She shot him a glare, unable to suppress her annoyance.Damon rubbed his nose, feeling a bit guilty. "Honey, why didn't you rest a little longer?""It's almost time to pick up Buddy from school. Are you still busy with work?" Nyla asked."There's just a little left to do, but I can finish it at home. Let me grab my things, and we'll pick up Buddy together," he answered.Nyla considered telling him to stay and finish his work but remembered they only had three days left together. She nodded. "Okay, I'll wait for you."Five minutes later, they were on their way downstairs.Since Nyla had driven over, Damon decided to take her car to pick up Mason.During the ride, Nyla stared out the window, lost in thought about how to tell Damon she'd be leaving for Meristate.Damon noticed something was off but didn't press her. He figured he'd wait until after

Seeing the flicker of guilt in Alexander's expression, Nyla said, "If you really feel sorry for Buddy and me, promise me one thing.""What is it?" Alexander asked."If I ever ask for your help after going to Meristate, you have to help me no matter what," Nyla said.Alexander smiled. "You might find that once you become the Nixons' successor, I'll be the one asking you for help.""So, is that a no?" Nyla asked.Seeing her serious expression, Alexander finally nodded. "Fine, I promise.""Let's hope you won't break your word," she replied.Alexander offered, "If you don't believe me, I can swear on my life."Nyla shook her head. "That won't be necessary. I have other things to do, so I'll be leaving now."…Nyla headed straight to Prospectus Technology.Damon was surprised to see her arrive unexpectedly. "Nyla, why are you here at this hour?""I missed you, so I came to see you," Nyla answered.Her gaze was tender, filled with love—and a hint of sorrow so subtle it was almos

Emerald looked at Nyla and asked, "What are your conditions?""First, Buddy stays in Saintornia. He can't come to Meristate with me. Second, I need you to provide resources to Damon's company to help him take it international. Third, I want full control over my marriage decisions," Nyla stated firmly.Emerald narrowed her eyes and pondered briefly before letting out a soft laugh. "Once you join the Nixons, you and Damon will belong to two entirely different worlds."As for Buddy—if you leave him here, his life trajectory will end up just like yours. Are you sure you want to leave him behind?"Nyla's second condition wasn't difficult for Emerald to guess. She could see where this was heading, though Nyla clearly underestimated the Nixons. Even with abundant resources, Damon could never compete with them.As for Nyla's third condition? Once she was in Meristate, who she wanted to marry would hardly be her decision to make."I'm sure," Nyla said resolutely. "You want me to go to Mer

A moment later, Nyla entered the restaurant.Alexander stood quickly and led her toward their table."Nyla, just a heads-up—your mom's used to giving orders, so her words might come across as commanding. Be prepared," he said again, his tone cautious."Okay," Nyla replied evenly, following him.In less than two minutes, they arrived at the table."Nyla, this is your mom," Alexander said, then turned to the woman sitting before them. "Aunt Emerald, this is Nyla. Doesn't she look just like you?"Emerald and Nyla's eyes met, neither speaking for several long moments.After what felt like an eternity, Emerald raised her chin slightly. "Sit down."Her tone was devoid of any warmth.As Nyla looked at the woman in front of her, she found it impossible to reconcile this commanding figure with the gentle, loving mother she remembered from childhood.She sat across from Emerald and spoke directly. "I've heard from Alexander that you want me to go to Meristate."Emerald nodded, her gaz

"Exactly, Mr. Sumner, please help us out!"Damon's expression remained indifferent while facing the hopeful gazes of the group. "I can help you, but tell me—what can you offer in return?"He wasn't a philanthropist, and given these people had previously worked against Prospectus Technology, there was no way he would let them off easily."Mr. Sumner, whatever you ask—if we can do it, we will!"The others echoed in agreement, desperate to save their businesses.Damon nodded. "Alright, I have only one condition—join me in taking down Drake."Relief washed over the group. Some even looked incredulous.Was that really his only condition? After all, even if Damon hadn't explicitly asked, they'd likely side with him against Drake once their companies were back on their feet.The humiliation Drake had subjected them to was a bitter pill none of them were willing to swallow."Mr. Sumner, that's it? That's all you're asking?"Damon turned his cold gaze to the man who spoke. "Yes. But l

"If you force her, she'll resist even more. And don't forget, she has unresolved feelings about the past," Alexander reminded her.Emerald's face darkened. "What does she have to resent? If it weren't for what happened back then, she wouldn't even exist. She should be grateful I brought her into this world!"Alexander frowned. "If you want her to follow you to Meristate, you'll need to tone it down. She's not like Brian and Delia, who grew up with you.""Fine. I'll meet her tomorrow and see," Emerald replied.After divorcing Harrison and moving abroad, Emerald had initially thought about Nyla often. But over time, as her business grew and she had Brian and Delia, her thoughts of her eldest daughter faded.Now, she only cared about Nyla because the Nixons needed her as a successor. Otherwise, she might never have thought about her again.Emerald knew she had wronged Nyla, but she had gone through so much over the years. Besides, she had a son and a daughter who listened. She no lo

Hearing Damon's response, Nyla finally felt relieved. "That's good to hear.""Let's eat," Damon said."Okay." Nyla picked up her utensils, ready to grab some food when her phone suddenly rang.Seeing Alexander's name on the screen, her expression shifted slightly. She set her utensils down and answered.As soon as the call connected, Alexander's voice came through. "Nyla, your mom's flight lands in two hours. I'm heading to the airport to pick her up. Do you want to come along?"Nyla clutched her phone, her breathing growing heavier. It took her a few seconds to respond. "No, I'm busy tonight. Anything else?""How about tomorrow? Can we meet somewhere? She really wants to see you," Alexander asked."We'll see," she said hurriedly, then ended the call.Noticing her pale expression, Damon took her hand and said softly, "If you don't want to see her, then don't. You don't have to force yourself."Taking a deep breath, Nyla shook her head. "No, I want to see her. I just... I'm not

Drake's ultimate target was Nyla. If Prospectus Technology fell, no one could protect her or Mason.The companies that had sided with Drake acted out of self-interest, but they now regretted their decisions. Damon could gain significant strength by reestablishing cooperation with them.Of course, Valarie had her own motives. She wanted to repay Summer Coates for saving her life and hoped to restore their collaboration."Whether or not she can stay out of it, talking to her won't help. Stop dragging her into this," Brandon said."Brandon, who are you to order me around?" Valarie retorted.Pinching the bridge of his nose in frustration, Brandon replied, "Can you stop being unreasonable? I'm not threatening you. I'm reminding you. Don't forget—the Weir Group avoided bankruptcy only because of my uncle."Valarie laughed coldly. "You're right. He did save the Weir Group, and I'm grateful. But that doesn't mean he can interfere in everything I do."Without giving him a chance to respo
