Before Cyrus could finish his sentence, Richard interrupted coldly, "Shut up!"No one knew what might happen with such hypnosis treatments. He had even heard of cases where people turned into fools after undergoing them.Cyrus, pale with fear at Richard's icy gaze, quickly lowered his head, unable to meet his eyes.However, considering that Damon's recent actions had nearly driven Clark's companies to collapse, Cyrus gathered his courage again."Dad, I'm just giving you a suggestion. Damon is my brother, and I wouldn't harm him. I'm only thinking about what's best for him and the Sumners," he said.Richard sneered. "You're only thinking about yourself, not him.""Dad, I'm just suggesting something. If you don't agree, that's fine," Cyrus replied."I won't agree to this, and don't ever bring up such things in front of me again, or I won't spare you!" With that, Richard stood up and left, not even glancing back at Cyrus.Cyrus watched his father's retreating figure, his eyes fill
Damon's offer of ten times the market value was too tempting for the shareholders. They didn't know when Prospectus Technology's stock price would ever see such a surge.With this realization, several shareholders quickly decided to sell their shares.Damon's expression remained unchanged as he instructed Spencer to tally up the shareholders wishing to sell. He immediately had the lawyers draft the transfer agreements.Soon, the shareholders signed the share transfer agreements and received their payments.Seeing the large sums in their bank accounts, many left with gleaming eyes, clearly thrilled.The remaining shareholders, witnessing this, began to waver as well.Damon glanced at the remaining shareholders and said, "If anyone else wants to sell their shares, now is the time. After today, this offer won't be available."Hearing this, a few more shareholders chose to sell their shares.As he watched them leave, delighted by the bank transfer notifications they received, Spenc
Spencer had intended to persuade Damon further, but upon seeing Damon's icy profile, he realized it was futile. With a sigh, he turned to leave.Just outside the office, he spotted Richard exiting the elevator. Taken aback, he quickly approached him."Mr. Sumner, what brings you here unexpectedly?" he asked.Richard replied with a neutral expression, "I'm here to see Damon. Take me to him."Spencer hesitated.Previously, Richard had confined Damon to his hospital room and prohibited him from seeing anyone. Furthermore, Damon had made it clear he didn't want to see anyone from the Sumners again.Upon noticing Spencer's reluctance, Richard's expression darkened. "Mr. Hogg, if you're unwilling to take me to him, I'll go on my own."As Richard began to push past him, Spencer quickly stopped him. "Mr. Richard, Mr. Damon is currently working. I'll inform him of your arrival."Richard frowned but suppressed his anger. "Very well."Since he was already there, if Damon refused to see h
Richard was seething with anger. "The Sumner Group's subsidiaries aren't freebies to be handed out casually!"He had planned to leave the company to Damon because neither Clark nor Brandon could lead the Sumner Group effectively—they would only drive it into decline."If that's the case, it's none of my concern. If you're unwilling to, you don't have to," Damon replied.After all, Clark had little real ability. Damon had investigated and discovered that without Nyla transferring her patent to Clark, he would never have become the CEO of the Sumner Group.Richard glared at him, gritting his teeth. "Don't you know that I plan to leave the Sumner Group to you?! Clark and Brandon will be your support in the future. Straining your relationship with Clark only harms you!"Damon remained calm, showing no signs of excitement or agitation over Richard's intention to leave the Sumner Group to him."I have my own company to manage. I don't have time to deal with the Sumner Group. However, i
"Okay, I understand. I'll bring over a bottle of Dad's favorite wine tonight," Cyrus said.After hanging up, Cyrus turned to Clark with excitement."Clark, your grandfather is probably already considering my earlier suggestion about hypnotizing Damon. If the plan works out, not only will the Sumner Group be ours but Prospectus Technology will be too!" he exclaimed.In contrast to Cyrus' enthusiasm, Clark remained calm. "Dad, I'm not interested in any of this."Ever since he received the news of Nyla's death, Clark had been living in regret and torment for over a month.If he hadn't cheated on Jordyn, he and Nyla might have still been happily married. Because of his momentary mistake, everything had unraveled.He couldn't forgive himself and had gradually lost interest in the company and everything else. Without Nyla, what was the point of accumulating more wealth? The person he wanted to share that joy with was no longer there.Seeing Clark's lifeless expression, Cyrus frowned
Upon seeing Cyrus' guilty expression and his cowardice in making eye contact, Richard's gaze grew colder.If Cyrus was afraid to even look him in the eye, it proved he was useless! It also meant that Damon was the best candidate to inherit the Sumner Group.Richard was determined not to let Damon be ruined because of a woman."I brought you here tonight to ask about the hypnosis treatment you mentioned this morning. Are there any successful case studies?" Richard inquired.Cyrus' face lit up with excitement. "Yes, yes! I can show you!"Seeing his barely contained enthusiasm, Richard narrowed his eyes. He stood up and said, "Let's discuss this in the study."…The two spent over an hour in the study.By the time dinner was ready, Marie had to call several times before they finally emerged.Cyrus was flushed with delight. He turned to Richard earnestly, saying, "Dad, don't worry. I'll book a flight abroad for tomorrow and bring back a professional. I will make sure Damon is not
Richard sneered, "Naturally, I have my own plans too."Cyrus finally realized Richard had used him. Richard had intentionally allowed him to go abroad to find Sean, only to have him bring Sean back and then discard him."Dad, you'll regret this someday!" Cyrus snarled.Richard didn't bother to look at him anymore. He glanced at Frank, who immediately ordered the guards to take Cyrus away.Soon, Cyrus' furious shouting grew quieter until it completely disappeared.Sean also tried to leave, but Richard's men held him back. His face paled as he looked at Richard with anger. "Mr. Sumner, what is the meaning of this?"Richard sat down with a smile. "Dr. Merritt, don't worry. I can offer you double the benefits my son promised you. But the condition is that your hypnosis must be successful. If anything goes wrong—such as the patient turning into an idiot—you might find it very difficult to leave here."Sean had come for the high treatment fee, so hearing Richard's offer to double the
Richard's expression was cold. "What do you know? Just do as I say! It's her honor that she can help the Sumners one last time after her death!"Seeing Richard's resolute demeanor, Frank chose not to argue further and left the study.…That evening, Damon received another call from the Summer residence. This time, it was Richard himself on the line, not a maid."Come back immediately," he ordered.The commanding tone made Damon's eyes narrow. "I'm busy. If it's not something important, please stop calling me.""Very well! Fine!" Each of Richard's words dripped with anger. "It seems your mother's illness doesn't matter to you! Let me ask you, are Nyla's belongings important to you?!"Damon tightened his grip on the phone. "Her belongings?!"Hearing the agitation in Damon's voice, Richard felt reassured that his decision was right. That woman would only cost Damon his life if he kept thinking about her!With that thought, Richard's earlier hesitation transformed into resolve. "Y
