Rebecca blushed slightly and whispered, "You've already bought me so many pieces of jewelry tonight. You've spent too much money. I just thought this set was pretty. I don't want you to spend any more."

Even as she spoke, her gaze kept drifting back to the jewelry on stage, her eyes betraying her unspoken desire.

At that moment, Valarie raised her paddle and, through gritted teeth, said, "9,000,000 dollars!"

This was her limit. Any higher, and she wouldn't be able to keep bidding. Her offer was a significant jump from the previous bid, and the room fell into an eerie silence as all eyes turned to her.

No one immediately raised their paddles.

Valarie gripped hers tightly, silently praying that no one else would bid.

"9,000,000 dollars, going once!"

A few others interested in the jewelry hesitated, unsure if they wanted to raise the stakes.

The set was undeniably beautiful, and owning it would make anyone the center of attention at any event. But 9,000,000 dollars? Spending that

    The crowd turned in shock at the sound of the new voice.They had been expecting a wealthy heir from Saintornia, but instead, a young man stood before them—someone they didn't recognize.Murmurs rippled through the room."Who is that? I've never seen him before.""No idea, but anyone bold enough to bid 20,000,000 dollars must be important."...Next to Gabriel, Melody was so shocked that her phone slipped from her hand, clattering to the floor.She whispered, "Gabriel, are you crazy? Where are you getting that kind of money?""Don't worry. If I'm making an offer, I can afford it," Gabriel replied confidently.Damon glanced over his shoulder at Gabriel, his eyes narrowing dangerously.Their gazes locked, and for a brief moment, the air between them crackled with unspoken tension.Valarie, equally stunned, quickly turned to Nyla. "Nyla, your brother's been abroad for years. When did he get so rich? I should've gone abroad too."Nyla was at a loss for words. She was just as sh

    200,000,000 dollars! Damon had spent that amount just to buy her a piece of jewelry!Rebecca couldn't help but turn to Nyla with a triumphant smile. It was clear now that Damon's greatest love was her, and Nyla didn't even compare.She had expected to see resentment or jealousy in Nyla's eyes but was surprised when Nyla simply met her gaze calmly before looking away.Rebecca frowned, feeling as though she was hitting a brick wall. Nyla must be pretending to be calm—she was probably seething with jealousy!Soon, someone came to collect Damon's signature and process the payment.After completing the transaction, the staff brought over all the jewelry Damon had bid on, with The Lone Tear on top.When Damon opened the jewelry box, The Lone Tear sparkled brilliantly under the lights, drawing everyone's attention.Although the auction was over, most people stayed behind, their eyes glued to the piece of jewelry in Damon's hands. Some even wondered if he was going to propose to Rebecca

    Because of Damon's actions, everyone in the venue was now watching them.Rebecca bit her lip hard, her eyes filled with anger and resentment. Damon was giving The Lone Tear to Nyla right in front of everyone!She could already imagine the crowd's scornful whispers. The more she thought about it, the more she hated Nyla.The venue fell silent for a few seconds before murmurs of voices erupted."What's going on? Why is Damon giving The Lone Tear to Nyla? Isn't he supposed to be with Rebecca?""And if I remember correctly, Nyla was his niece-in-law, right? The Sumners are so extravagant.""This is disgusting. Nyla just divorced Clark not long ago. Were they already involved before the divorce?"Hearing the sneers and disdainful comments around them, Valarie fumed."What are you all talking about?! Nyla's divorce from Clark was because Clark cheated on her with Jordyn. It has nothing to do with Damon!" she barked.Few people knew about Nyla and Damon's relationship. If Damon hadn'

    "Also... Rebecca is probably furious tonight. She might even reveal your relationship with Damon," Valarie said, her eyes filled with concern.She was deeply upset with Damon. Although Nyla and Damon had broken up, he had publicly given her jewelry! As the CEO of Prospectus Technology, no one dared to criticize him openly, but had he considered what Nyla might face as a result?Valarie was relieved they had broken up. Otherwise, Nyla would have endured even more with such a domineering man.Nyla pursed her lips and replied calmly, "It's fine. I anticipated something like this might happen when I agreed to be with him."She had once hoped that when this day came, he would be by her side."Let's just go. We'll deal with it if things really blow up," Valarie suggested.Nyla nodded. "Okay."…Back home, Nyla rested in the living room for a while. Just as she was about to wash up and go to bed, the doorbell rang.Seeing Gabriel at the door, Nyla frowned, remembering how he had driv

    "Yes! I've loved him for so many years, and now I only have three months left to live. I can't accept this!" Rebecca cried out, her voice breaking.Nathaniel managed a wry smile. "And what about me? I've loved you for years. Why won't you ever turn and look at me?"He had always believed that as long as Rebecca was happy, that was enough. But seeing her heartbroken over Damon now felt like a vice around his chest, nearly suffocating him.If she truly had only three months left, why couldn't he at least try for himself?Rebecca was momentarily stunned, clearly caught off guard.After a long pause, she spoke softly. "Nathaniel, I've always considered you just a friend.""But I don't want to be just your friend," Nathaniel said firmly.Rebecca bit her lip in frustration. "I'm your good friend's girlfriend. We can't—"Before she could finish, a shadow suddenly fell over her.Nathaniel's lips met Rebecca's before she had a chance to react."Mmph!" She shook her head and tried to p

    Spencer felt helpless. The issue was that Nyla might not even want to see Damon.Although Damon was exceptionally skilled in managing the company and business, Spencer believed he was too overbearing in relationships, focusing solely on his own perspective and never considering Nyla's feelings.Even without Rebecca, it was possible that he and Nyla would have eventually broken up.Watching Damon's departing figure, Spencer sighed and did not attempt to stop him.…Damon reached the hospital room and was about to knock on the door when it opened from the inside.Upon seeing Damon, Valarie's eyes filled with anger. She said coldly, "Damon, are you here to gloat over how badly you've hurt Nyla?"Damon frowned as he spoke in a low, tense voice. "How is she right now?""Don't worry. She won't die. But if you keep bothering her, who knows what might happen next time?!" Valarie retorted.Her sarcastic tone only increased Damon's impatience. "Ms. Weir, I admit I didn't handle things w

    Facing Nyla's cold, unyielding gaze, any explanation seemed inadequate.Damon lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice, "You don't need to worry about this. I'll handle it.""Whether you handle it or not is irrelevant to me. I'm planning to resign," Nyla said flatly.A cold glint flashed in Damon's eyes. "Nyla, I've already told you I won't let you resign.""You are not important to me and have no right to interfere in my decisions. I'm simply giving you advance notice that you need to find someone to replace me. This isn't up for discussion," Nyla stated firmly.A heavy silence settled in the room, creating a stifling atmosphere between them.After an indeterminate amount of time, Damon's hoarse voice broke the silence. "Do you really despise me this much? Would you rather resign than continue working at Prospectus Technology?"Nyla frowned.While her decision to resign was partly because she didn't want to continue dealing with Damon, it was also because she needed time to s

    Nathaniel had expected that, after last night, Rebecca would want to be with him. He was shocked to realize she had never even considered breaking up with Damon."What do you mean? If you're not planning to break up, then what was last night all about?!" he demanded."Last night was just an accident. Let's pretend it never happened. Besides, Damon is your good friend. If he finds out that you slept with his girlfriend, it will damage your friendship," Rebecca said."Pretend nothing happened? Do you think that's possible?" Nathaniel questioned.He angrily grabbed Rebecca's hand and said emphatically, "Damon doesn't have any feelings for you anymore. When are you going to realize that?"Rebecca slapped him, her eyes blazing with anger. "This is between me and him. It's none of your business!"Nathaniel, furious, managed a bitter smile. "Fine! So be it!"He quickly gathered his clothes from the floor, dressed, and stormed out, slamming the door behind him with a loud bang.Once he

    "It's going alright. We're slowly getting back on track, but I'm still worried. I don't know if this is the right call," Damon answered.Using the money in Mason's account might save Prospectus Technology, or it could drag him further into trouble.Nyla looked at him, her voice soft. "Right or wrong, it's the only option right now. We'll just have to take it one step at a time. It won't be any harder than it is now."If Prospectus Technology went bankrupt, they didn't know how Gabriel would retaliate against their family. As long as the company remained intact, they would be safe."I'll protect you and Buddy, no matter what. No one will hurt you," Damon vowed.He had already decided that if things went south, he would find a way to get Nyla and Mason to safety.The oil was reaching temperature as they spoke.Nyla dropped the meatballs in. "Don't worry so much. We'll be fine. The three of us will be alright."Damon walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her with a hum.

    Not long after Tom left, Gabriel's secretary rushed into the office, panic in his voice. "Mr. Hackett, I can't find where the money for Prospectus Technology came from. It's as if it just appeared out of nowhere. I—""Get out!" Gabriel's bloodshot eyes and contorted face radiated fury, making him look terrifying.The secretary froze, then quickly turned and left, shutting the door behind him.It was over.With Prospectus Technology saved, Gabriel had lost his leverage over Damon. And with it, Gabriel's chance of being with Nyla was gone too...."Mr. Sumner, with this new investment, the company will be back on track soon. I'll start reaching out to the employees who left. If any of them are willing to return, we can reinstate them right away," Spencer said with a smile in Damon's office."Got it. Go ahead and handle it," Damon replied."Understood!" Spencer chirped before exiting the room.Damon opened a file on his desk, but his thoughts kept wandering.He wasn't sure if us

    Nyla went upstairs while Damon returned to his study.Instead of diving into his paperwork, he sat at his desk, wrestling with the dilemma of whether to use the money in Mason's account to save Prospectus Technology. Hours later, he made a decision....The next morning, Damon left for the office after breakfast.Meanwhile, Mason was heading upstairs to change when Nyla called him back. "Buddy, starting today, you don't need to go to school. You'll stay home with me for a while to study instead."Mason blinked in surprise. "Why?"Nyla stroked his hair, her tone gentle. "I'm not working right now, so I can help you practice writing at home. We'll do this for a while before you go back to school. Does that sound good?"School wasn't that important to Mason, so he nodded easily. "Okay."Relieved that he didn't press for more details, Nyla let out a soft sigh. Lying to kids could be exhausting.At the office…Damon had just stepped in when Spencer arrived, his expression grim.

    Mason hadn't expected his master to say they'd meet in person soon."Of course. Have I ever lied to you?" the young man replied."No!" Mason chirped.After hanging up the phone, the thought of meeting his master lifted Mason's spirits. He jumped off the toilet, phone in hand, and walked out of the bathroom.Back in his room, a knock came at the door."Buddy, are you in there? Can you open the door? Daddy wants to talk to you," Damon said.Hearing Damon's gentle voice, Mason hesitated briefly but eventually opened the door."Daddy, if you're here to ask about my master like Mommy, I'm not going to tell you," he stated.Damon smiled, reaching out to pat Mason's head. "Don't worry. I'm not going to ask. You don't have to say anything if you don't want to. Mommy and I talked earlier, and she won't press you on it anymore either. She was just worried, that's all.""My master wouldn't hurt me!" Mason defended."I know, Buddy. Mommy's just concerned about you. She already feels bad

    Nyla had wanted to discuss things properly with Mason, to make him open up slowly and tell her the truth.Now, she felt the urgency to figure out how that money had come about as soon as possible.She rarely spoke so sternly to Mason, so he was startled and dropped the block on the floor.Mason's eyes were red, but he stared at Nyla defiantly, refusing to speak.Nyla pressed, "Buddy, who is this master of yours?"Why would they give Mason so much money out of the blue?"I won't say!" Mason responded firmly.Nyla's brow furrowed in anger as her patience wore thin. "If you don't tell me, I'll take away all your electronics starting today."Mason yelled, "I hate you, Mommy! You're not the loving mommy you used to be anymore!"After shouting, he spun on his heel and ran upstairs.Moments later, the slam of his door echoed through the villa.Hearing the commotion, Damon emerged from the study and walked into the living room. He saw Nyla standing there, visibly upset."What happe

    Damon had never met anyone from the Nixons, but it was clear they had ties to both Drake and Mason.He sensed it wouldn't be long before he encountered someone from this enigmatic family. When that moment came, he hoped to finally uncover their motives for involving Mason.…That evening, when Damon returned to the villa, he called Nyla into the study."I have something important to tell you," he said, his tone serious.Noticing his expression, Nyla looked puzzled. "What is it? Does it have to do with the money in Buddy's account?"Damon nodded. "Yes. Five years ago, shortly after Rebecca returned to the country, a mysterious group abroad began investigating you."Later, I discovered that the person behind the investigation was Drake Mummery, a senior executive at MK Company in Meristate. He's connected to the Nixons—a powerful family in Meristate."Today, I found out that all the money in Buddy's account came from someone within the Nixons."Nyla's face turned serious, a mix

    Mason nodded. "I know. That's the money I earned myself.""You earned?" Nyla repeated.The couple stared at Mason in disbelief. How could a five-year-old possibly earn that kind of money?Damon frowned and crouched beside him. "Buddy, do you know there's 1 trillion dollars in that account? Do you understand how much that is?"Mason shook his head. "No... but it really is the money I earned."Damon asked, "Then tell Daddy, how did you earn it?"Mason hesitated, his expression conflicted. "Daddy... can I not tell you?"He had promised the person who helped him earn the money that he wouldn't reveal anything about it."Buddy, if you don't tell us, we can't be sure if this money is really yours," Damon replied gently but firmly.Mason thought for a moment before shaking his head again. "I can't say."Damon was about to push further when Nyla placed a hand on his arm, stopping him.She turned to Mason, smiling softly. "Okay, if you don't want to tell us, we won't force you. Go ba

    Damon remained silent, his face set in a grim expression. If this card truly contained the staggering amount claimed, the situation was anything but reassuring.After verifying the balance at the bank, his expression grew even darker.Sensing something amiss—especially given Damon's lack of joy—Spencer grew uneasy."Mr. Sumner... isn't it good that the card holds this much money?" he asked hesitantly.Damon's gaze sharpened. "Head back to the office. I need to deal with something at home.""Understood," Spencer replied, though confusion lingered on his face.Damon left swiftly.Spencer stood by, watching the car disappear down the road, his thoughts clouded.Shouldn't they be celebrating? With this amount, saving the company should have been a sure thing.…Less than an hour later, Damon arrived at the villa.Nyla was lounging in the living room, watching TV.When she saw him enter, her brow furrowed slightly. "Why are you back so early?"Damon settled across from her, pla

    The bodyguards hesitated before quickly leaving.Gabriel turned back to Damon with a grin. "Now can we talk?"Damon walked into his office without a word, and Gabriel followed.Sitting behind his desk, Damon glared at him coldly. "What do you want to discuss?"Gabriel smiled. "Mr. Sumner, with Prospectus Technology on the brink of bankruptcy, it's pointless to keep spending money fighting Nyce Tech in court. How about I give you some money, and you drop the lawsuit? What do you think?"Damon's expression hardened. "I doubt you can afford the price I have in mind.""I'm offering 10 billion dollars. You can take the money and start fresh. How about it?" Gabriel proposed.He had considered the amount for a long time, clearly confident that Damon wouldn't refuse.Silence filled the office.After a long pause, Damon snickered. "Gabriel, you colluded with Henry to steal Prospectus Technology's core trade secrets. Now you want me to let you off the hook for 10 billion dollars? Dream
