Disbelief flashed across Rebecca's eyes."Why? Don't you like her?" she asked."You just need to remember she's not someone you can mess with. I'm returning to the country soon, so you'd better not make any moves. Otherwise, you won't be able to handle the consequences!" Drake warned.Rebecca froze for a moment, but before she could react, the video call ended.After tossing his phone onto the table, Drake's expression turned into one of extreme excitement.Finally, he had found her!…Meanwhile, Rebecca stared at her now blank phone screen, her gaze cold. What did Drake mean by saying Nyla was off-limits? And his reaction—it didn't seem like he was romantically interested in her.After all, if Drake were interested in a woman, he would first have private photos of her taken, then use those to coerce her into sleeping with him.The more Rebecca thought about it, the stranger Drake's attitude seemed. There had to be something more going on!No matter how hard she tried, she

Nyla knew there was no way Harrison didn't realize she would be at a disadvantage once he accepted the money. But he took it anyway.She had lost—not to the Sumners, but to Harrison.She looked up at Richard, about to speak, when the door to the private room suddenly swung open.Damon walked in, his expression cold as he stared at Richard. "Dad, I remember telling you not to bother her."Richard's scowl deepened, and he replied icily, "Didn't you just say yesterday that we've cut ties? What does it matter to you if I bother her or not?"Damon nodded. "You're right. In that case, Prospectus Technology will have issues with the Sumner Group too.""This is outrageous! You're going to turn against the Sumner Group just for a woman?" Richard bellowed.Damon remained silent, but his gaze spoke volumes.From the moment Damon entered the room, Nyla only glanced at him once before ignoring him completely.She fixed her eyes on Richard and said, "Mr. Richard, I'll withdraw the lawsuit a

Ignoring Harrison's reaction, Nyla turned and left without another word.Behind her, Wren exclaimed, "Harrison, calm down. Take deep breaths. The doctor said you can't get agitated!"Nyla hesitated briefly but didn't look back. She took a deep breath and walked straight out of the hospital room.As she reached the hospital entrance, Gabriel caught up to her."Nyla..." He blocked her path. "Your father's not in good health right now. He can't handle stress. Please, try to understand."Nyla shot him a cold glance. "Understand him? Who's going to understand me?"She had risked her life to put Cyrus away, only for Harrison to undo it all.To him, she probably no longer mattered. Before marrying Wren, he had promised to put her first. Now, it seemed Wren meant more to him than she ever had."I know you're upset," Gabriel said gently. "But your father did this to protect you. You can't take on the Sumners by yourself. You'd only end up in danger."Nyla's expression remained icy. "Wh

Nyla had expected Harrison to support her, but instead, he sided with the Sumners.After a while, she slowly lifted her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Her gaze hardened with determination. She was resolute—she would leave Saintornia.Not long after Nyla returned home, the doorbell rang. Seeing Gabriel outside, she didn't open the door. Instead, she told him coldly to leave.Gabriel stood at the door for a moment. When it became clear Nyla had no intention of letting him in, he said softly, "Nyla, we'll talk when you've calmed down."Nyla felt there was nothing left to discuss and had no desire to engage. She remained silent.Gabriel stared at the closed door, sighed, and then turned to leave.In the days that followed, Nyla's life resumed its familiar rhythm—working and studying at home. Gabriel tried reaching out several times, but her cold demeanor discouraged him from pushing further.…A week later, Nyla received a call from Valarie, inviting her t

Seeing the mockery in Nyla's eyes, Jordyn sneered and followed the sales associate to the checkout.After purchasing the dress, Jordyn strutted back to Nyla with her chin raised, eyes brimming with contempt.Jordyn then sneered. "This card is from Clark. It has no limit. Don't think buying this dress is a big deal. I could buy the entire store and still have money left over!"Nyla nodded thoughtfully. "Hmm, but I wonder if buying the store would make Clark turn against you?"Jordyn's expression faltered for a moment, but she quickly recovered and replied coldly, "What does it matter to you? Whether it's Clark or this dress, they have nothing to do with you anymore.""I'm not interested. This dress is the smallest size. It won't fit your figure anyway. And... I find your touch repulsive. Even if you hadn't bought it, I wouldn't want it anymore," Nyla shot back.The thought of Jordyn touching the gift intended for Valarie made Nyla feel nauseated.Jordyn's eyes flared with anger,

"If you hadn't refused to help me, would I have made such a fuss?" Jordyn challenged, her gaze filled with accusation.Clark was rendered speechless.After a moment of silence, he turned to Nyla. "Nyla, perhaps you should apologize to Jordyn and put this matter to rest."Nyla sneered. "Are you out of your mind? Apologize to her? Why should I?""Why not? You were seen hugging my husband not long ago, remember? I still have photos. Would you like me to show them to you?" Jordyn taunted.Nyla's gaze turned icy. "Jordyn, stop pretending. You were the one who interfered in my marriage with Clark. Now that you're married to him, have you forgotten what you did?"As for that photo, you can ask Clark about it yourself. I'm not interested in trash."Also, you mentioned I was fighting with you over the dress. Did you forget there are security cameras in the mall? Should I get the footage to see who was really fighting over it?"Regardless of whether it's a dress or a man, I wouldn't want

Nyla glanced at the invitation in Gabriel's hand. She hadn't bought a birthday gift yet, so attending the jewelry auction could be a nice alternative.However, she didn't want to feel obligated to him."No, thanks. I'm not interested," she declined.Gabriel looked a bit helpless. "Nyla, are you still upset about what happened with your dad?"Nyla met his gaze calmly. "This is between me and him. It has nothing to do with you."Gabriel seemed hurt by her response. "But we're family!""To your mom, I've never been considered part of the family. In her eyes, the three of you are the family," Nyla retorted."She's her, and I'm me! To me, you are family," Gabriel insisted, his expression earnest and passionate.Nyla paused before replying, "But we're not destined to be a family."The hallway fell into a heavy silence, their breathing the only sound breaking it.Gabriel's emotions flickered in his eyes. He seemed on the verge of saying something but then composed himself.As if no

Soon, Melody returned, looking dejected. It was clear she was still upset about Gabriel's refusal to accompany her to the jewelry auction.Gabriel smiled gently and said, "Melody, I've been thinking about it. Since I'm free that day too, I'll go with you after all."Melody's eyes lit up with a hint of disbelief. "Really?""Yes," Gabriel replied, his gaze warm and soft. "Since I got the tickets for you, it's only fair I accompany you if Nyla isn't going.""That's great! I'll see you at the auction then!" Melody exclaimed."I'll pick you up from your place," Gabriel said.Melody was momentarily taken aback.Gabriel's change in attitude seemed a bit sudden, but she didn't dwell on it. She was confident that spending time alone with him would increase her chances of winning his affection."Okay, I'll send you the address later," she agreed.The entire afternoon, Melody chatted with Nyla about Gabriel, asking about his past and his preferences in women."Nyla, what kind of outfit

"That's more like it," Valarie chirped.Nyla couldn't help but say, "Valarie, stop bullying Brandon all the time."Brandon turned to her and sighed dramatically. "Aunt Nyla, since you mentioned it, I have to say something. You have no idea what I've been through these past six months, I— Ouch!"Before he could finish, Valarie pinched his waist. "What was that? Tell me, Brandon. Have you been unhappy these past six months?""N-No... I've been very happy..." Brandon winced."Have I bullied you then?" Valarie pressed."No..." Brandon murmured.Valarie huffed. "If not, then keep your mouth shut, or Nyla will really think I mistreat you." Brandon gave her a pitiful look, lowering his head like a scolded puppy.Before they married, Valarie had been gentle and beautiful in his eyes. But after marriage, he realized how wrong he had been.Gentle and beautiful? All an illusion.If he stayed out drinking and came home late, he'd have to choose between sleeping on the couch or outside.

Taking Mia to work was exhausting, but every time she smiled at Damon, it made everything worth it."She'll be fine. Didn't you just say she loves us both equally? She'll cry for a bit, but if you stop taking her to the office, she'll get used to being at home," Nyla reasoned.Seeing Nyla's determination, Damon finally relented. "Alright, we'll try it tomorrow. But if she cries too much, you'll have to take her to the office.""Deal!" Nyla said....After getting ready for work the next morning, Damon kissed Mia on the cheek and headed for the door.As soon as he changed his shoes at the entrance, she reached her little arms toward him, asking to be held. She had grown so accustomed to going to the office with him every day that it had become a reflex.Damon glanced at Nyla. "Nyla, maybe today we should—"Nyla interrupted, "Nope. You go to work. And if you're free for lunch, don't bother coming home. If you need to work late, no rush to come back either."Damon chuckled. "You'

"Brandon, from now on, I'm entrusting Valarie to you," Jonathan said. "She's been spoiled by us and can be a little willful at times. I hope you'll be patient with her in your marriage, and I wish you both a lifetime of happiness together."Brandon held Valarie's hand tightly, his expression solemn. "Dad, don't worry. I'll cherish her with all my heart."Jonathan nodded, stepping down from the stage. He discreetly wiped away his tears.After exchanging vows and rings, Valarie and Brandon sealed their love with a kiss, surrounded by cheers and applause.…On the way home from the wedding, Nyla glanced at Damon. "I saw Mr. Weir wipe his tears so many times today. When Bunny gets married, you'll definitely be just like him, sneaking off somewhere to cry."Damon's grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly, his gaze sharpening. "No one will ever be good enough for my daughter. If she never gets married, we'll take care of her for the rest of our lives."Nyla raised an eyebrow and

"Of course! When's the wedding?" Nyla asked.Valarie shook her head. "We haven't decided yet. He'll come to my house in a few days to discuss it with my parents."Nyla raised an eyebrow. "You're about to get really busy. Planning a wedding alone will take a lot of work.""Yeah, I'm already getting a headache just thinking about it," Valarie replied....For the next few months, Valarie was completely consumed by wedding preparations and work, barely having time to catch her breath.The wedding was set for August 8th, leaving them with less than six months to finalize everything.Valarie even traveled abroad several times to meet with designers and ensure her wedding dress was exactly what she wanted.Beyond the dress, she and Brandon spent hours discussing every detail—from the venue to the wedding favors and bouquet choices....After months of nonstop planning, the big day finally arrived.Valarie was already up, getting her hair and makeup done at 2:00 a.m.By the time N

Valarie looked up and saw the approaching glow.When the figure finally stopped in front of her, she realized it was Brandon.Frowning, she asked, "Where did you go? I waited so long for you. And what are you hiding behind your back?"Brandon flipped his phone face-down on the table, revealing the flowers he had hidden. Then he dropped to one knee."Valarie, I had planned a perfect proposal for you, but when you asked earlier about the meaning of wearing a wedding dress, I knew I couldn't wait any longer."Before I met you, my life revolved solely around work. I never paused for anyone—I never cared whether the sun was rising or setting, or if the moon was full or waning. But everything changed after I met you."I began cherishing the thought of greeting you every morning, sharing meals with you, and standing by your side for life."Valarie, I want every morning to begin with us waking up together, and every night to end with us holding each other as we fall asleep."Finally, B

Of course, every time they visited Valarie's home, Phoebe would subtly—or sometimes not so subtly—hint that they should get married.Brandon had always assumed Valarie wasn't interested in marriage since she never responded to those hints. He hadn't considered proposing.But today, seeing her so excited about picking out baby clothes made him start to imagine a future with her—building a family, raising a child.That thought filled his heart with warmth.After more than three hours of shopping, they finally left the mall, their arms full of bags.Once they loaded everything into the car, Valarie turned to Brandon. "I'm starving. Let's grab something to eat."Brandon nodded. "Sure. What are you in the mood for?""I'm not picky. Is there anything good around here? I don't feel like going too far," she replied.Brandon paused, then said, "There's a place with ethnic cuisine nearby. I went there once for a business meeting—it was pretty authentic. Want to give it a try?""Sounds g

Nyla was silent for a moment before nodding. "Alright. If you ever need Damon to help figure out Brandon's thoughts, just let me know.""I will. Don't worry about us, though. You just gave birth. Your main priority should be resting," Valarie said."Okay," Nyla replied.Valarie lingered in the bedroom for a while, but when she saw Nyla looking tired, she stood up and left.Downstairs, only Brandon was in the living room.Valarie walked over to him and asked, "Where's Damon?""He had something to take care of for work, so he went to the study. How's Aunt Nyla?" Brandon asked."She seems to be doing well, and the baby is adorable. Oh, right, I forgot to ask what the baby's name is. I only know her nickname is Bunny," Valarie said.Just thinking about Mia Sumner's cute little face made Valarie smile. She was already looking forward to the day the baby would call her godmother.A flicker of something crossed Brandon's eyes. "You really like kids, huh?""Of course! I've said befor

Once they were in the car, Nyla suddenly recalled Damon's phone call earlier. "By the way, what did Alexander want?"After a brief pause, Damon glanced at her. "He said Ms. Kinsey left you an inheritance and asked when we'd be able to go to Meristate to take care of it."Nyla pressed her lips together before replying, "Call him later and tell him to donate it or keep it for himself. I don't want it.""Alright," Damon replied.When they arrived home, Damon helped Nyla settle onto the couch, placing a pillow behind her back for support. Then, he said seriously, "Nyla, you've been through enough. Let's not have any more kids after this."During her first pregnancy with Mason, Damon hadn't been around, so he hadn't realized how difficult it was for her.Now, experiencing this pregnancy with her, every checkup and blood draw made his heart ache.Once Nyla gave birth, he planned to get a vasectomy. Two kids were enough for them.Nyla shot him a look. "This wasn't exactly planned, was

More than half an hour later, Nyla finally stirred from her nap.When she opened her eyes, she found Damon sitting by her bed, watching her. She froze for a moment, caught off guard.Rubbing her eyes, she realized he was still there and confirmed she wasn't dreaming.She slowly sat up, her voice still heavy with sleep. "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in your study working?""I missed you, so I came to see you," Damon replied.Nyla narrowed her eyes. "You definitely have something to say if you're here all of a sudden."Damon chuckled, a little helpless. "I guess I can't fool you.""Of course not. I know you too well. Ever since I got pregnant, you've never come to see me like this in the afternoon," Nyla said."Alright. Go freshen up first, and I'll wait for you downstairs," Damon suggested."Okay," Nyla replied.After washing up, she went downstairs and sat beside Damon. "Alright, tell me. What's going on? You're acting all mysterious."Damon hesitated for a moment befo
