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

    "What exactly are you trying to do?" Jordyn demanded.Rebecca smiled with satisfaction. "Ms. Cheatham, don't be upset. I'm here to help you.""Help me?" Jordyn looked at Rebecca as if she had just heard a bad joke, her gaze tinged with sarcasm. "What exactly can you do to help me?""Help you become Mrs. Jordyn Sumner, of course," Rebecca replied."We're already married. Do you want to see the marriage certificate?" Jordyn shot back.Rebecca regarded her indifferently, her tone light and airy. "Aside from that piece of paper, what else do you have? As far as I know, none of the Sumners, including Clark, seem to take you seriously."Jordyn clenched her hands tightly, her expression falling."Ms. Austen, perhaps you should focus on your issues. I've heard your family background isn't exactly impressive. Whether you can secure that piece of paper is another matter entirely!" Rebecca hissed.Rebecca's calm demeanor faltered slightly, her gaze growing colder. "It seems you're not int

    "That's something to consider later, but whether you want to or not, you have to do it." Rebecca's tone was charged with threats and audacity.If Jordyn didn't follow her instructions, everything she had could be at risk.Seething with anger, Jordyn took a tense ten seconds before she coldly replied, "Fine, I'll do what you say. But if you fail, I'll ensure Damon knows what you're really like!"Jordyn was not fooled by Rebecca's innocent and fragile facade in front of Damon. If Damon knew how ruthless Rebecca was behind the scenes, would he still have feelings for her?Rebecca's face hardened momentarily before she smirked again. "Don't worry. As long as you follow my instructions, you'll get everything you want."…That evening, a video from a million-follower influencer quickly soared to the top of the trending list.In the video, Jordyn, with red eyes and tear-streaked cheeks, revealed that she was two months pregnant and pleaded with Nyla to let Clark go and stop bothering h

    Damon raised a hand to stop him, his voice low and hoarse. "Leave me for now."Spencer lingered for a moment before speaking again. "Mr. Sumner, the most critical thing right now is to contain Henry. If we don't, Prospectus Technology could genuinely collapse—""Notify the shareholders. We're holding a meeting at 10:00 a.m.," Damon interrupted."Understood," Spencer replied.Once alone, Damon walked to the office window. As he stared at the vast ocean in the distance, his face remained expressionless.Whenever he faced a problem in the past, this view often helped him clear his mind. He knew this might be one of the last times he could stand here, gazing at the sea.…At 10:00 a.m., Prospectus Technology's shareholders convened.Every shareholder was present—except Henry.Damon scanned the room, his gaze lingering on the visibly anxious faces of those seated.He spoke. "Prospectus Technology is facing potential bankruptcy. Prepare yourselves."His words landed like a thunder

    As Nyla knocked and opened the office door, she found Damon engrossed in his documents.Hearing her familiar footsteps, Damon lifted his head. A smile softened his features as their eyes met."You're here," he said warmly.Nyla placed the packed breakfast on his desk and gently urged, "Take a break and eat something. No matter how busy you are, your health comes first."Damon didn't have much of an appetite, but he didn't want to worry her. Setting the document aside, he walked over to sit across from her.As she handed him the cutlery, Nyla noticed the dark circles under his eyes and the rough stubble on his jaw. Her heart ached at the sight."Eat first. When you're done, I'll help you shave," she offered with a tender smile.Damon nodded. "Alright."As he began eating the omelet, Nyla stood and headed toward the lounge. The moment she turned her back, her eyes welled up with tears.On the way to the office, she had received a call from Valarie, who had warned her there was a

    The next morning, Spencer entered Damon's office with a grim expression, holding a document. "Mr. Sumner, you need to see this."Damon took the file and flipped through it, his face growing colder with every page."Mr. Sumner, we've found evidence of Mr. Wakeham having close contact with Gabriel, but there's no definitive proof that he leaked the Agihop 6th Gen data," Spencer reported.Damon's tone was flat but decisive. "It's him."Only someone from the management team could have accessed and leaked the Agihop 6th Gen data to Gabriel.Damon had initially dismissed the possibility of betrayal at the management level, assuming they wouldn't jeopardize their own interests. Now, it was clear the incentives Gabriel offered had been too tempting to resist."What's the next step? Should we involve the police?" Spencer asked.Henry Wakeham was a key shareholder, holding 10% of Prospectus Technology's shares. Over the years, he'd appeared loyal to the company, making this revelation all

    "Well then, I'll wish you success, Mr. Sumner. I've got other guests to attend to, so I'll excuse myself," Gabriel said, turning and walking away.Damon's gaze followed his retreating figure, his expression icy as he downed the rest of his drink in one gulp.Damon was certain that Gabriel's smug grin wouldn't last much longer.Setting his glass down, Damon left the event, only to run into Tom at the entrance.Tom's smile carried a trace of mockery. "Mr. Sumner, long time no see. I hear Prospectus Technology's chips have been causing you quite a headache lately. Shouldn't you be busy dealing with that instead of attending parties?"Five years ago, Tom had approached Damon with a proposal for a business partnership. Damon hadn't even spared him a glance.Now, Tom was savoring the opportunity to watch Prospectus Technology falter.Damon's face remained impassive. "It seems Prospectus Technology's business troubles are something you've been monitoring closely, Mr. Genge."While you

    To Nyla, being with Gabriel felt just as wrong as any taboo.Gabriel's smile turned cold. "Nyla, once Damon's company collapses, you'll come back to me."Nyla met his gaze, her words deliberate. "First of all, I was never with you, so there's no 'coming back.' Second, if being forced to be with you is my only option, I'd rather die."With each word, Gabriel's face darkened. By the end of her speech, the veins in his forehead bulged, and his clenched fists trembled with restraint."You hate me that much?" he asked."Yes," Nyla confirmed.His past harassment and ongoing persistence filled her with nothing but disgust.If Gabriel truly cared for her, he wouldn't pressure her like this—forcing her to be with him against her will.Gabriel remained silent, but the shadow in his eyes deepened.Whether Nyla hated or ignored him, he vowed he would do whatever it took to have her by his side.Soon after, Mason emerged.Without a glance at Gabriel, Nyla took Mason's hand and left.Gab

    Nyla walked over and sat across from Damon. "I heard the Galaxy chip that Nyce Tech launched today was developed using data stolen from Prospectus Technology's Agihop 6th Gen. Is that true?"Damon frowned. "That's a company matter—you don't need to worry about it."Seeing his reaction, Nyla understood that what Leon had said was likely true."Have you identified who leaked the company's data?" she asked."Not yet. I'm having my team look into employees who recently had contact with Nyce Tech," Damon replied.Upon noticing the fatigue on his face, a flash of concern crossed her eyes."Focusing only on employees won't help. Someone who could leak all of the Agihop 6th Gen data to Nyce Tech must hold considerable influence in the company. Have you looked into Prospectus Technology's shareholders?" she asked softly.Damon's expression darkened. "Not yet. But if we don't find anything with the employees, I'll have Spencer investigate the shareholders next."Prospectus Technology's s

    "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
