Nyla didn't dwell on it and continued the conversation.After talking for a while, Damon weighed his options and decided to invest in Nyla's lab.By the time the party ended, it was already past 10:00 p.m.Nyla and Edgar stood at the entrance, bidding farewell to Damon and the other investors.…The secretary Damon had brought along was Luca Fleming. He had been with Prospectus Technology for four years and had been trained by Spencer, so his working style mirrored Spencer's.On the way back, Luca couldn't help but comment, "Ms. Kinsey is not only beautiful but also very capable. She must have a lot of admirers."Damon, engrossed in his documents, glanced up at him. "Are you interested in pursuing her?"Luca quickly waved his hands. "Oh, no, not at all! Someone like her would never go for someone like me."At least he had some self-awareness.Damon gave no further response and returned his attention to his files.He didn't disagree with Luca's assessment. Given the income Ny

If it weren't for Caroline, Nyla wouldn't be where she was today.Five years ago…After falling into the sea, Nyla miraculously survived when a kind stranger rescued her. At that time, she didn't want to return to Saintornia or have any ties with her past. Thus, she reached out to Caroline, who took her away.It took three months for her to fully regain her emotional stability.By then, everyone she knew in Saintornia believed she had died. She decided to take her mother's surname, and as for the baby she was carrying, he also miraculously survived.For the next few months, Nyla stayed in the apartment Caroline rented for her, preparing for her exams while managing her pregnancy.It wasn't until the following year that she had the opportunity to reapply for graduate school. From that point on, she juggled her studies and raising her child.…These past few years hadn't been easy, but Nyla felt content. If Damon hadn't suddenly reappeared, her life would have continued on its pe

Mason nodded. "Yes, I missed you."Oliver's smile widened, his gaze softening even more. "I missed you too, and I brought you a gift."As he spoke, he pulled out a set of books from behind him, almost as if performing a magic trick."Last time I saw you, you were reading this series at home, so I bought the original edition while I was abroad. Do you like it?" he asked.Mason's face lit up with joy. "Thank you, Uncle Oliver!"He eagerly took the books and flipped through them, his usually calm expression finally revealing the youthful excitement of a child his age.Nyla smiled wryly at Oliver. "You didn't have to go through all that trouble. That must have been expensive."Since moving to Capitarnia five years ago, it hadn't taken long for Oliver to find her.Over the years, he had helped her immensely—allowing her to focus on her work while keeping Mason's existence hidden.Like Caroline, Nyla owed Oliver so much.It wasn't that she hadn't noticed Oliver's feelings—she knew.

Erin's face lit up with joy. Just as she was about to say something, she noticed that Damon had suddenly stopped walking.Puzzled, she looked up and saw him staring ahead. She followed his gaze but saw nothing unusual."Damon, what's wrong?" she asked."Nothing. Weren't you hungry? Let's go," he replied, his tone calm.They entered the restaurant, where a server led them to a private room.In the room next door, Oliver handed the menu to Nyla."Nyla, why don't you pick what you'd like to eat? Tonight's dinner is on me to celebrate your success in developing the new drug," he said."You already got gifts for both me and Buddy. I should treat tonight, especially since I just received a bonus," Nyla replied.Oliver relented. "Alright."Nyla ordered a few of the restaurant's signature dishes and handed the menu back to Oliver. "Why don't you choose a few more?"After the orders were placed, Oliver looked at her and said gently, "You've spent the last few years pouring most of you

Erin found herself in a daze as she stared into Damon's calm eyes.She remembered how he used to look at Nyla—his gaze filled with warmth and tenderness. It was a stark contrast to how he regarded her.In the three years they had been engaged, Damon had never looked at her like that.When he glanced her way, his expression remained calm, indifferent, and distant—as if he were above it all.Sometimes, Erin wondered if he had agreed to the engagement merely because he saw her as a suitable match.Pushing aside the chaotic thoughts swirling in her mind, she spoke softly. "It's nothing. I'm probably just tired from the flight."She sat beside Damon, biting her lip before finally summoning the courage to ask, "Damon, how about we get married this year? Now that you've taken over the Sumner Group and everything is stable, I really want to get married."Damon didn't answer right away. Instead, he asked coldly, "Why the sudden rush to get married?"He had only gotten engaged to Erin to

Before Damon got engaged to Erin, he had already realized that he had no physical desire for any woman. Even if a woman stood naked in front of him, it did nothing for him.He later consulted a doctor, who suggested that it might be a lingering effect of the car accident he had been in. The doctor had even recommended trying adult films, but that didn't work either.Not only was there no physical reaction, but Damon also felt nothing emotionally.After trying for a while, he accepted his reality and decided marriage wasn't in the cards for him.He had assumed he would never be interested in women—until that day in the elevator when Nyla bumped into him. Suddenly, he felt electrified by the contact.At first, he thought it was just a fluke. However, when he saw her again at the celebration party, he felt something strange stir inside him.He couldn't quite identify what it was, but instinctively, he wanted to resist it. Yet despite his resistance, his eyes were drawn to her.Damo

Leon's eyes lit up with delight as he quickly said, "Thanks, Nyla!"Nyla smiled. "Alright, let's get ready for the experiment."With her help, the experiment went smoothly this time.By 6:00 a.m., Leon let out a huge sigh of relief as he looked at the data on the computer screen.He turned to share the good news with Nyla, only to find her fast asleep at the table. The words he was about to say died in his throat, and he instinctively quieted his breathing.They had taken turns resting through the night, but Nyla had stayed awake the entire time, overseeing the experiment. She must have been exhausted.Ruby Jenner gently draped a lab coat over Nyla, her movements unusually tender for someone typically so energetic and direct.She whispered to Leon, "Let Nyla sleep for a bit. We'll wake her around seven."Leon nodded. "Got it."The two sat down and quietly began analyzing the experiment data. The only sounds in the lab were the soft scratching of pens against paper and Nyla's f

Nyla nodded. "When did you get here?""Not too long ago," Oliver replied."You should take a look at those dark circles under your eyes," Nyla remarked.Oliver paused briefly, then chuckled. "Alright, you got me. After Buddy fell asleep, I was worried you'd forget to call, so I came over."Nyla frowned, about to speak, but Oliver cut her off, "You've been up all night. You must be exhausted. Get in the car, and I'll take you home to rest."Nyla nodded. "Okay."She opened the door and got in. Once she buckled her seatbelt, Oliver started the car."Why don't you rest at my place? I'm off today, and I can watch Buddy," Oliver suggested.Nyla hesitated for a moment, then shook her head. "No, I'll pick Buddy up and head home. You finally have a day off—you should relax."Oliver insisted, "It's fine. Watching Buddy is pretty much relaxing for me anyway. And he's probably still asleep."Meeting Oliver's gentle gaze, Nyla couldn't bring herself to refuse again."Alright," she said.

"Yeah, I just got home. How's your mother doing now?" Valarie asked."Her condition is stable. Veevee… I need to ask you something," Stefan said.A flicker of surprise crossed Valarie's eyes. "What is it?"There was a brief silence before Stefan spoke again. "Never mind, it's nothing important. Get some rest. Goodnight."Before Valarie could respond, he had already hung up.She set her phone down, deciding to invite Stefan out for dinner in the next few days and have an honest conversation with him.…After the surgery, Michelle remained unconscious for a full day before finally waking up.The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Jayden sitting by her bedside."Michelle! You're awake!" Jayden exclaimed, relief flooding his voice as he quickly pressed the call button for the doctor.Once the doctor confirmed she was out of danger, Jayden exhaled deeply."Michelle, do you have any idea what I went through while you were unconscious? Please, don't ever do something so reckless a

The moment Brandon spoke, silence blanketed the room.Yale and Nolan both looked visibly uneasy.Jayden froze for a second, then his face twisted with disappointment. "Fine! From now on, we're strangers!"With that, he shoved Nolan aside and stormed toward the hospital entrance.Nolan frowned and turned to Brandon. "Brandon, Jayden was just upset. Did you really have to make it so final? How are you going to fix things later?""I don't plan to fix anything. Because of him and Michelle, Valarie and I fought countless times. Do you really think I should sacrifice my girlfriend for two so-called friends?" Brandon retorted.Seeing the indifference in his expression, Nolan suddenly regretted sending that message earlier. If he hadn't texted Brandon about Valarie being with another guy, none of this would have happened."I'm heading home," Brandon said before turning to Valarie, taking her hand, and leading her out of the hospital.Watching them leave, Nolan felt a surge of frustrati

A cold gust of wind blew through, and Brandon felt his heart sink.From the moment he first laid eyes on Valarie, he had made up his mind—he had to be with her, to marry her.He had pursued her for five years. They had finally gotten together, only to break up soon after.He had tried everything to win her back, but no matter what he did, she only seemed to drift further away.Was it really impossible for them to be together?"Valarie, you told me to stay away from Michelle for a month, and I did."Tonight, Jayden called to say that Michelle tried to commit suicide and is in the hospital being resuscitated. I still didn't go see her."I know I made a lot of mistakes before, but I've been trying to change. Can you give me one more chance?" he pleaded.Valarie remained silent for a long time. She knew she still had feelings for Brandon. When she met his pleading gaze, she felt herself softening.Finally, she looked at him and nodded. "Alright, but this is the last chance I'm giv

Brandon didn't respond. He stepped out of the elevator, seized Valarie's wrist, and yanked her behind him.Valarie nearly lost her balance. As she steadied herself, she heard his cold warning. "Stefan, stay away from Valarie. If you don't, you won't be able to handle the consequences."Stefan met his gaze, his expression unreadable. "Mr. Sumner, you just made her almost fall. Let go of her."Brandon let out a sarcastic laugh. "She's my girlfriend. It's none of your business."Valarie immediately yanked her wrist free. "Brandon, what the hell is wrong with you? Why are you acting like this in the middle of the night?"Brandon turned to her. "And what about you? What are you doing here so late? Don't tell me you've actually fallen for this kid who's younger than me."At first, he hadn't taken Stefan seriously. He had assumed Valarie was just using him to get back at him.But as she grew kinder to Stefan, panic began to creep in.Brandon was terrified that she really liked Stefan

Stefan looked at Valarie, his eyes red. "Veevee, thank you! I'm sorry for causing you trouble.""It's fine, it's not a big deal. Go check on your mom," Valarie said.After Stefan left, Valarie turned to the nurse. "Can I pay the hospital fees now?"The nurse nodded. "Yes, you can."Once Valarie finished paying and the nurse confirmed the transaction, she said, "Ms. Weir, I'll have my colleagues move Mr. Foley's mother back to her room now.""Okay," Valarie replied.She didn't argue with the nurse. After all, the hospital was just following protocol. Stefan's mother had been behind on payments for over two weeks, and the fact that they hadn't moved her out sooner was already lenient.Before long, Stefan's mother was back in the ICU.Seeing the medical equipment reconnected, Stefan let out a breath of relief.After confirming his mother's condition was stable, he turned to Valarie. "Veevee, I really don't know what I would've done without you tonight. Thank you. I promise I'll f

Yale shook his head. "No idea. Let's check on Michelle first."He had no intention of getting involved in whatever had happened between Brandon and Valarie."Alright," Nolan replied.When they reached the ER, Michelle was still being treated.Jayden sat in a chair in the hallway, head down, lost in thought. Hearing footsteps, he slowly looked up.When he saw that Brandon wasn't with them, he let out a bitter laugh. "Of course, he didn't come. Heartless bastard."Yale sighed. "Jayden, you can't blame Brandon for this. He promised Valarie he wouldn't see Michelle for a month."Given Brandon's personality, he wouldn't break his promise, no matter the trouble Michelle stirred up."So a stupid promise means more than someone's life?" Jayden shot back.Yale frowned. Seeing that Jayden wasn't in the mood to listen to reason, he didn't argue. In his opinion, Michelle had brought this on herself. If she thought attempting suicide would make Brandon cave, she was dead wrong.If he we

Nyla looked at Valarie. "What do you mean, giving each other looks? Just eat. I made your favorite—spicy chicken."Valarie nodded. "Okay."As they ate, Damon glanced at Brandon. "When are you going back to the company?"It had been nearly a month since Brandon left the Sumner Group. If he stayed away much longer, the people he had trained might start siding with someone else.Brandon paused mid-bite, instinctively glancing at Valarie across the table. She didn't even look his way.After a brief silence, he lowered his gaze. "In a few days.""Alright." Damon didn't press the issue.Brandon was the CEO of the Sumner Group. Damon couldn't keep treating him like a subordinate.Halfway through the meal, Brandon's phone rang.Seeing Jayden's name on the screen, he frowned and ignored it. But the phone rang again. And again.After declining multiple calls, he realized the others at the table were all looking at him.He picked up the phone. "It might be urgent."Stepping aside, he

"I just wanted to see if you'd tell me the truth. Now I know—you don't trust me," Jayden said.Michelle cried, "Fine! I admit it. I sent Stefan after Valarie. I wanted him to ruin her relationship with Brandon! Go ahead and tell Brandon if you want! I don't care!"She stood, ready to leave.Before she reached the door, Jayden's voice echoed behind her."I won't tell Brandon," he said. "But I won't help you anymore, either. There's still time to stop this. You can walk away now."Michelle's footsteps faltered momentarily, but she didn't turn back. She had never regretted her choices—why would she stop now?As long as she could have Brandon in the end, she wouldn't give up.If Jayden refused to help, she'd just have to figure it out on her own.…That evening, as Valarie got off work, she received a call from Nyla."Valarie, come over for dinner tonight! Oh, and by the way, I sent you a thank-you gift last night. Make sure you accept it," Nyla said.Valarie had seen Nyla's mon

"Whether or not you're having me followed, who I choose to spend time with is my business. I hope you'll stop prying into my private life," Valarie said.Brandon grabbed her wrist, his voice low and firm. "Valarie, the month is almost up. Don't forget the promise you made."She pulled away. "There's still a week left. We'll talk when the time comes."With that, she turned and left.Brandon watched her go, frustration darkening his face.The anonymous photos he'd received that morning were still fresh in his mind, making his expression even stormier.Forcing himself to stay calm, he pulled out his phone and called his assistant. "Find out who sent those photos to my email this morning."After hanging up, his mood remained grim. It was time to give Stefan a warning.Just as he was about to leave, his phone rang again.His eyes flickered with annoyance at the unfamiliar number. Without hesitation, he rejected the call and blocked it.Ever since he'd cut off Michelle, she'd been
