Seeing Nyla's change in expression, Damon asked, "What's wrong? Did you remember something?"

"Mr. Sumner, I need to check on something. I'll head back now," Nyla said.

As she turned to leave, Damon's gaze grew serious. He stood up suddenly and grabbed her wrist, speaking softly. "Nyla, you can rely on me. I've made things clear with Rebecca, and we've broken up. I hope you can give me a chance to protect you."

His words were earnest, but Nyla pulled her hand away as if she had been pricked.

"Mr. Sumner, from the moment we broke up, there's no going back. Whether you've broken up with Rebecca or not, I won't reconsider," she said.

With that, Nyla turned and walked out.

Watching her leave, Damon slowly tightened his fists, his expression showing a hint of defeat. He knew Nyla was deeply disappointed in him and wouldn't easily give him another chance.

After leaving Damon's office, Nyla went straight to find Melody.

The lab had been busy recently, and Nyla usually skipped lunch.

    As Melody spoke, she kept her eyes locked on Gabriel's. His eyes widened slightly, turning her suspicion into certainty."Why are you doing this to Nyla? Isn't she like a sister to you?" she demanded.Initially shocked, Gabriel quickly regained his usual gentle demeanor. "Melody, what are you talking about? I don't understand.""No one understands better than you. Did you put sleeping pills in the coffee you've been sending us?" Melody pressed.Her tone was firm, and her eyes burned with anger as she stared at Gabriel.He had been so considerate, claiming that working in the lab every day was exhausting, so he would send coffee to help them stay awake. He had even asked her not to tell Nyla.Blinded by love, she had believed he genuinely wanted to build a good relationship with Nyla. Looking back now, she felt foolish!She had handed Nyla the very coffee that led to the data leak scandal. The more she thought about it, the more distressed she became, and her eyes welled up with

    The situation needed to escalate. If Nyla wasn't pushed to her limits, she wouldn't willingly stay by his side.Gabriel's smile deepened. He was confident that soon he would be with Nyla.…Melody cried bitterly in the taxi on her way home. She hadn't expected that the first man she ever liked would use her to scheme against Nyla, and worse... Nyla was his sister.When she got home, she cried again.It took several hours for her emotions to settle. Just as she was about to call Nyla to tell her what she had discovered, a news alert popped up on her phone screen.[Prospectus Technology's experimental data leaked. The culprit is a researcher with a personal vendetta against Prospectus Technology's CEO. Was this done out of revenge or for profit?]Melody clicked on the link and found a sensationalist article. Not only did it accuse Nyla of leaking the data, but it also exposed Nyla's past relationship with Damon.The article implied that Nyla had leaked the data out of spite after

    Melody took the payment slip with a deep breath. "Mom, go back to the ward and take care of Dad. I'll figure out the money."Her mother looked apologetic and uneasy. "Melody, I'm sorry... We don't have the money, and we're causing you trouble..."She knew her daughter didn't have that much money either. Apart from borrowing, there seemed to be no other way.Her mother suggested, "Maybe I can ask your uncle for a loan... You—"Before she could finish, Melody interrupted, "Mom, we've already borrowed a lot from him for the apartment down payment. We haven't even started repaying it yet, and asking for more might upset my aunt. I'll find a way, so don't worry.""Alright…" her mother reluctantly agreed.Melody took the payment slip and went to the end of the hallway to call her classmates and friends.…In the CEO's office of Prospectus Technology, Damon looked grim as he stared at Spencer. "Didn't I tell you that this matter must not be leaked?"Spencer felt distressed. He had in

    "I'm just worried about you..." Damon replied.Nyla showed no reaction to his words, merely watching him with a flat expression. "Mr. Sumner, you're my superior, and I'm your subordinate. I don't need your concern."Damon frowned as he spoke quietly. "Nyla, I know you're still upset about what happened before. I—"Nyla cut him off, looking slightly resigned. "I'm not angry. It's all in the past. No matter what you do, I won't get back together with you. I need to rest now. Please leave."She then closed the door.Damon stood at the door for a moment before finally turning and leaving.Back on the sofa, Nyla sat down and contemplated how to uncover the truth.Prospectus Technology was already preparing to sue Contelligence. The email sent to Contelligence had originated from her computer, so the person who had sent the email must have been in contact with Contelligence beforehand.Investigating Contelligence might be the faster route.With this in mind, Nyla called Spencer.Af

    "Ms. Jayston, I discovered that Steven has had contact with someone from the Preston Group. However, it appears you have no personal grievances with them, so there would be no reason for them to target you," Pete said.Nyla tightened her grip on the phone. "Actually, there is some personal animosity. I understand the situation now, Mr. Monaghan, so there's no need for further investigation."If you have the time, could you check whether Robert Palfrey from Contelligence has had any contact with employees from Prospectus Technology?""Certainly. I'll look into it right away," Pete replied.After ending the call, Nyla transferred some money to Pete. Once he confirmed receipt, Nyla closed the chat. She placed her phone in her bag, paused for a moment, and then called Damon.The call connected quickly.Damon's voice carried a hint of tension. "Nyla... what's wrong?"Nyla pressed her lips together, a flicker of hesitation in her eyes before she composed herself. "Mr. Sumner, I'm not

    Nathaniel called his secretary into the office and said coldly, "Contact Steven and have him prepare to attack Nyla."The secretary, Troy Cantrill, noticed the cracked screen of his phone on the floor and replied, "Understood, Mr. Preston. I'll handle it right away."He picked up the phone, left the office, and immediately ordered a new one to be delivered.…When Steven received the call, he was at a prenatal check-up with his girlfriend.Learning that he needed to attack Nyla, he hesitated. After all, Nathaniel had only instructed him to scare Nyla, not to harm her.Noticing Steven's hesitation, Troy said coldly, "Mr. Abney, do you think that money was easy to come by?"When Nathaniel first approached Steven, he was struggling to meet a request for 80,000 dollars from his girlfriend's parents. They had threatened to force her to have an abortion if he couldn't come up with the money.Nathaniel had found and given him 150,000 dollars to track and harass Nyla. Nathaniel had als

    Camila asked him several times, but Steven just said he was too tired from work.After dropping Camila off at home, Steven watched her walk away and made up his mind. He was determined to protect her and the baby, even if it meant committing a crime.He called Troy, gritting his teeth. "I'll do what you asked, but I need to wait until my girlfriend gives birth.""No way. That's too late," Troy replied.Steven sneered. "Mr. Cantrill, I can always tell Nyla what you're planning. You're just looking for a scapegoat. Am I not even allowed to decide on the timing?""If you tell Nyla, there's no telling if your child will even have a chance to be born," Troy warned."Mr. Cantrill, if anything happens to my family, I'll post our phone conversation online. You wouldn't want this to blow up, would you? I just need two months," Steven negotiated.Troy was silent for a moment before saying coldly, "I'll consult with Mr. Preston and get back to you."…Upon hearing this, Nathaniel sneered

    Hector sneered. "You certainly have the means to cover her compensation, Mr. Sumner."Damon looked at him and said slowly, "I'd cover her compensation—if she's actually responsible for this.""Who else could it be? The email was sent from her computer. That's a fact, isn't it?" Hector asked.If he weren't afraid of future retaliation from Damon, he'd almost accuse him of deliberately shielding Nyla."It was indeed sent from her computer, but there's no evidence of her communication with Contelligence," Damon replied."That email is evidence enough. What more do you need? Mr. Sumner, are you hesitating to pay?" Hector pressed.If the board were to be the fall guy, he would be the first to refuse!"Mr. Warner, today's meeting is to determine the exact compensation amount, not to discuss whether I'm willing to pay," Damon stated.Hector snorted and fell silent.After an hour of discussion, the agreed-upon compensation amount was 200,000,000 dollars.As the meeting ended, Hector

    Theo's expression darkened as he stepped forward, looking down at Jane. "Say that again!"Jane raised an eyebrow. "What? You can't take it? Want to make a move?""You!" Theo clenched his fists, and for a moment, he was tempted to strike Jane."Enough!" Pedro's sharp voice echoed. "Isn't this enough chaos? Keep quiet, both of you!"Theo's expression changed, and he took a deep breath, saying nothing more.Jane knew she was no longer in line to inherit the Wilkie Group. She had become a mere pawn, no longer of any use to Pedro, so there was no need to pay her much attention.She glanced at Pedro, her voice flat. "Grandpa, you called me here today just to talk about Gabriel being arrested?"Pedro frowned. "Gabriel's arrest will damage the Wilkies' reputation. Stay home for a while and finish your travel documents. I want you to leave the country."Jane sneered. "Got it."She knew she was now a discarded pawn in Pedro's eyes.

    If Falcon didn't make contact within a month, it would mean something had happened to them."Alright, I understand," Spencer replied.He turned and left the office, sighing once outside. He could only hope they couldn't reach Falcon because of some kind of accident, not something worse.Once the office door closed, Damon's gaze darkened.If he wasn't mistaken, Falcon had likely been found by the Nixons, though Damon wasn't sure whether they were alive or dead.The Nixons, the hidden power behind Drake, were far bigger and more mysterious than he had imagined.While he was lost in thought, his phone suddenly rang.Upon seeing that it was Gabriel, his expression immediately turned cold.As soon as he answered, Gabriel's furious voice came through. "Damon, are you really going to drive me to the brink?"The legal team from Prospectus Technology had filed a lawsuit against Nyce Tech for illegally stealing trade secrets and submitted evidence of other criminal activities to the cou

    "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
