Chapter 500

Author: Hello Spring
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

    Damon's steps abruptly halted as he turned to Sean, his eyes flashing icily. "What did you just say?"A chill ran through Sean under Damon's penetrating gaze, but he maintained his warm smile. "Mr. Sumner, I just want to discuss your mother's condition. Mr. Richard is currently upstairs with your mother and will be down shortly. I won't keep you long."For some reason, Damon found himself moving closer to Sean. He took a seat across from him and asked, "What do you want to discuss?"Sean said, "Mr. Sumner, you may not be aware, but your mother has been having trouble sleeping lately and has developed a sleep disorder. For someone her age, this is quite dangerous..."At first, Damon could follow what Sean was saying, but gradually, he found it harder to concentrate, and his eyelids grew heavier.Fifteen minutes later, his head drooped, and he slumped onto the sofa, unconscious.Seeing that Damon had fallen asleep, Sean looked up and said, "Mr. Richard, we can begin the hypnosis pr

    "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
