Nyla scoffed. "Damon took my son without my consent and now wants to fight me for custody? He's dreaming!"Gerrard adjusted his glasses and handed her a document from his briefcase."Ms. Kinsey, this is the paternity test report showing that Mason Kinsey and Mr. Damon Sumner are father and son. He has the right to contest custody," he said.Nyla didn't take the document. Instead, she looked at Gerrard with a poker face. "That paternity test was done without my consent. I won't acknowledge it!"Gerrard remained calm. "Ms. Kinsey, this paternity test holds legal validity. My client is prepared to file a lawsuit. Of course, it would be best to resolve this peacefully, but if that's not possible, he will have to pursue legal action."Regardless, Damon was determined to fight Nyla for custody of Mason.Nyla nodded. "Fine, let him file a lawsuit."With that, she walked past Gerrard and left.Gerrard called Damon to update him. "Mr. Sumner, Ms. Kinsey still refuses to agree. It seems

Damon's expression darkened significantly. Lacking any experience with children, he instinctively applied the same tactics he used with his subordinates to Mason, only to find it backfiring spectacularly.Frustration filled his eyes as he looked at Mason, who was wailing loudly.If Mason weren't his son, he would have thrown him out for causing such a scene in his own home.Spencer returned with snacks and walked into the bedroom to find Damon and Mason locked in a standoff—one looking furious and the other crying his eyes out.A headache began to form in Spencer's temples."Mr. Sumner, didn't Buddy calm down before I left? How did he start crying again so quickly?" Spencer asked.Damon, clearly agitated, snapped, "You handle it!"With that, he turned and walked away.Spencer was rendered speechless.Damon had been the one to make the kid cry, and now he was expected to fix it?Sighing in resignation, Spencer set down the snacks and squatted beside Mason, trying to comfort hi

Erin's expression darkened. After spending so many years with Damon, she would never allow a sudden, unexpected child to derail her plans.Taking a deep breath, she suppressed her anger and resentment. She spoke in a calm tone. "Damon, I'm having a hard time accepting this right now. Please give me a week."I need some time to process this. Once I've sorted it out, I'll come find you. Let's not contact each other in the meantime."Fearing that Damon would bring up the idea of breaking their engagement again, Erin abruptly hung up. She gritted her teeth, anger boiling beneath the surface.That bitch, Nyla, had the audacity to inform Damon about the existence of that child without any warning! She had even pretended not to be interested in Damon, but it had all been an act!Erin dialed another number, her voice seething with anger. "What have you been doing?! Why haven't I heard anything about what I asked you to do?!""It's coming along, Ms. Hulle. Don't worry," the person on the

Caroline hadn't asked directly, but she sensed that Bailey still hadn't moved on from her past relationship, which was why she was reluctant to meet Gerrard."Nyla, I can introduce you to other lawyers. I know several who are just as capable as my sister. You could consider them," Caroline suggested.Nyla shook her head. "For custody cases like this, your sister is the most well-known. She has never lost a case she's taken, so I really want to give it a shot. I just want to meet her. If she declines, I won't push her."If it weren't for Mason's custody, she wouldn't have reached out to Caroline for help.Caroline understood that and nodded after a moment of hesitation. "Alright, I'll arrange for you to meet Bailey, but whether or not you can convince her is up to you.""Thank you, Caroline!" Nyla exclaimed."Don't thank me just yet. The chances of success are low. Besides, I've watched Buddy grow up, so I'll do everything I can to help," Caroline replied.Nyla felt a wave of gra

The living room fell into a tense silence, the temperature dropping sharply.Oliver turned to Nyla, disbelief written all over his face, mixed with a hint of joy flickering in his eyes. He knew she was trying to deceive Damon, but seeing her stand up for him made him feel happy nonetheless.Damon narrowed his eyes, drumming his fingers idly on the table. "You can marry him if you want. I don't care. But I won't be giving Buddy back to you."Nyla's expression darkened. Just as she was about to respond, a small figure dashed toward her."Mommy…" Mason rushed into Nyla's arms, clinging to her leg and crying heart-wrenchingly.Hearing him sob over the phone had been one thing, but seeing his tear-streaked face now made Nyla's blood boil."What have you done to Buddy? Why is he crying like this?!" she demanded, glaring at Damon.Damon's expression remained icy. "He just left you for a strange environment. It's normal for him to cry. He'll settle down."Nyla was fuming. "He's just a

The Raynor Group would suffer some losses in the short term, but their foundation would remain intact.Damon stood up and, as he walked out, said, "Mr. Raynor, many people are hoping to see the Raynors fall from grace. I hope you won't regret it!"With that, he pushed past Oliver and Nyla and left.Oliver turned to Nyla, his gaze softening. "Nyla, it's okay now. Let's take Buddy home."Nyla didn't move, her eyes locked onto him. "Oliver, what did you do to Prospectus Technology?"She had clearly heard Damon's words. Oliver had convinced Damon to stop obstructing her from taking Mason away, but it was evident that the Raynor Group had paid a price for it.Oliver's expression remained calm. "Don't worry. I know what I'm doing. It won't impact the Raynor Group too much. My dad once told me that if I let the Raynor Group fall, he'd kick my ass, so I won't act recklessly."Realizing he was just trying to comfort her, Nyla bit her lip and refrained from pressing further. She underst

Nyla held Mason close, soothing him softly. "Don't be afraid, Buddy. I will always protect you and won't let anyone take you away again."Mason nodded. "Mommy, I hate that man! He says he's my dad, but I don't want him to be my dad!"Nyla bit her lip. "Let's not think about that right now. Just get some rest, and I'll take you to school tomorrow."…The next morning, Nyla dropped Mason off at school. As soon as she found his teacher, Lilith, the latter looked surprised and asked, "Ms. Kinsey, isn't Buddy transferring schools? Why did you bring him today?"Nyla paused, confused. "What do you mean, transferring?""I'm not entirely sure. The principal just informed me that Buddy was transferring and told me not to get involved anymore," Lilith replied.Understanding the situation, Nyla handed Mason over to Lilith and said, "I see. Ms. Page, Buddy isn't transferring. Please take him to class. I need to speak with the principal.""Okay, you go ahead," Lilith answered.Nyla nodded

After leaving the principal's office, Nyla went to find Lilith and informed her that Mason would continue attending school. Only then did she leave the building.…Once Nyla arrived at the lab, Caroline hurried over and whispered, "Nyla, my sister agreed to meet with you. Here's the time and the restaurant address for tonight. She's really busy, so you must be on time. She has a flight to catch at 10:00 p.m."Nyla's eyes lit up with surprise, and she excitedly grabbed Caroline's hand. "Thank you so much, Caroline! I'll treat you to dinner on Saturday.""That's not important. What matters most is Buddy's situation. But honestly, don't get your hopes up too high. Bailey probably won't take the case," Caroline said."Yeah, but I have to try," Nyla replied. For Mason, even knowing the chances were slim wouldn't make her give up."Okay, good luck," Caroline wished her.…The day flew by, and as soon as work ended, Nyla rushed to the restaurant. She arrived a few minutes early, and B

"We can sign an agreement if you're still worried. I promise never to challenge your custody of Wilhelm in my lifetime," Jane assured.Seeing her determination, Gabriel remained silent.Noticing his hesitation, Jane gripped the armrests of her wheelchair tightly. "Gabriel, you're already hesitating, even though you haven't remarried yet. How can I believe you'll treat Wilhelm fairly in the future?"Gabriel's gaze turned cold. "No matter what, Wilhelm will be better off with me than with you. When and how much of the shares I give him is my decision, not yours."With that, he turned to leave.As he reached the doorway, Jane's voice echoed behind him. "If you don't transfer half your shares to Wilhelm, I won't leave the country!"Gabriel paused, then glanced back at her mockingly. "Whether you leave or stay means nothing to me. And why would you think your refusal to leave is a threat to me?""Gabriel, you're a bastard!" Jane shouted.Gabriel smirked and left without another word

Wilhelm froze for a moment, his eyes welling up with tears as confusion and hurt clouded them."Mommy, do you really not want me anymore?" he asked, his voice trembling.Jane's gaze flickered with a brief trace of pain as she looked at Wilhelm sitting pitifully on the floor. But the softness in her eyes vanished as quickly as it appeared.She stared at him coldly. "That's right. I never wanted you. I hit you to try and get your father to come back."The other day, when I took you out for steak, I deliberately let you eat that hazelnut cake. You started itching later because you're allergic—that was intentional, too. I wanted you hospitalized so I could force your father to see me."Her tone grew harsher. "Now that Gabriel and I are divorced, you're of no use to me. You're just a burden. Taking you with me would only drag me down."And I hate your father. Naturally, I hate you, too. Don't show up in front of me again!"Wilhelm sat frozen, her words cutting into him like shards of

If Wilhelm stopped wanting to see Jane, the bond between them would naturally fade over time."No! I don't want food!" Wilhelm cried, hurling Gabriel's phone onto the car seat.He began pounding on the car door, trying to open it. "I want to see Mommy! I want to live with her, not you!"Gabriel, his patience wearing thin, locked the doors with a sharp click and turned to Wilhelm, his expression darkening."Your mother doesn't want you. Even if you find her, she won't take you. I'm the only one you have now," he said."I hate you! I don't want to be with you! I don't want you as my dad!" Wilhelm screamed.Gabriel's restraint, already fraying after days of tantrums, finally snapped. He stared at his son and said coldly, "It doesn't matter whether you want me or not. No one wants you now except me."Jane didn't want Wilhelm. The Wilkies wouldn't want him either."That's not true!" Wilhelm sobbed uncontrollably. "Mommy wants me. Mommy's just mad. If I'm good, she'll take me back! S

Lydia nodded. "Okay, Ms. Kinsey."Shortly after, Lydia returned with Mason by her side.When Mason saw Gabriel and Wilhelm standing at the door, he frowned and turned to Nyla. "Mommy, why is Wilhelm here?"Nyla patted his head gently. "He's here to apologize to you.""Oh." Mason's response was wary, clearly unconvinced.Gabriel observed Nyla's affectionate interaction with Mason, his eyes flickering with a trace of emotion. He turned to Wilhelm. "What did you promise me before we came?"Wilhelm's reluctance was evident. He had agreed to apologize, but only under the threat of losing his chance to see his mother."Mason, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have pushed you yesterday. I hope you can forgive me," Wilhelm said, his voice subdued.Mason didn't respond immediately. Instead, he looked up at Nyla, silently seeking her guidance."Buddy, this is your decision to make," Nyla said softly. "I'll respect whatever you decide."Mason lowered his head, thinking for a moment.Finally, he s

Brandon sighed and placed the items on the desk. "Aunt Nyla, this crisis is unlike anything Prospectus Technology has faced before. If things go wrong, the company can go bankrupt."Uncle Damon prepared these after finding out Buddy is his son, but he hadn't found the right time to give them to you."Keep them for now. If Prospectus Technology collapses, he'll need this to start over."After a moment's silence, Nyla nodded. "Alright, I'll hold onto them. Is this the only reason you came?""Yes, I need to get back to work," Brandon replied."I'll see you out," Nyla offered.After sending Brandon off, she returned to the study and placed the documents and bank card in the safe upstairs.The next morning…As Nyla was getting dressed, Lydia knocked on the door."Ms. Kinsey, there's a man outside who says he's your brother," Lydia informed her.Brother?Thinking it was likely Gabriel, Nyla's expression turned cold. "I don't know him. Tell him to leave.""Understood," Lydia said

Damon put the file down and sat across from Nyla.Noticing two portions of breakfast on the table, he asked, "You haven't eaten either?""No," Nyla replied as she opened the packages and handed one to him. "I came to eat with you. Spencer told me he brought you breakfast this morning, but you didn't touch it.""I was too busy," Damon said."Being busy isn't an excuse to skip meals. I saw your assistants running around like crazy, and I heard they barely got any sleep last night. Is the issue with the company that serious?" Nyla asked."It's significant," Damon admitted. "Our chips might be causing malfunctions in our partner's machines. If that's confirmed, the company will face a massive compensation payout."Nyla frowned, worry flashing in her eyes. "I can't help much with work, but the least I can do is keep things in order at home. By the way, are you coming home tonight?""Probably not," he replied. "There's still a lot to handle.""Alright. Finish your breakfast. I'll hea

Gabriel took the document, skimmed its contents, and his face darkened."What is it?" Tom asked.Gabriel tossed the document onto the table with a cold laugh. "Nothing important. Damon's just trying to catch me off guard."The document contained evidence of Nyce Tech hiring paid posters to smear Prospectus Technology, but Gabriel wasn't worried.Soon enough, those allegations would become the truth.Tom glanced at the papers and grinned. "As long as it's not a big problem. Anyway, I should get going.""Fine, but don't forget your part in this," Gabriel said pointedly.There was a cold glint in Tom's eyes, though his smile remained. "Relax. I won't let you handle Prospectus Technology alone."After Tom left, Gabriel drained his wine in one gulp.As he prepared to head to his study, a maid approached with a concerned expression."Mr. Hackett, Mr. Wilhelm still refuses to eat," the maid informed him.Gabriel had brought Wilhelm straight back to the villa instead of letting him

Damon's expression was icy as he spoke. "I've already sent the head of R&D with a team to investigate. Let's wait for their findings before jumping to conclusions."He added, "The Agihop 6th Gen isn't out yet. If the issue does lie in the Agihop 5th Gen, we should prepare for the worst—compensation payouts and the possibility of... bankruptcy.""What?!" A collective gasp echoed through the room, disbelief etched on everyone's faces."All this over a single batch of faulty machines from the Longbow Company? Isn't that a bit extreme?""Exactly. If the problem is with the Agihop 5th Gen chips, wouldn't paying compensation suffice?""Mr. Sumner, aren't you exaggerating?"The notion that Prospectus Technology could face bankruptcy over a single chip seemed absurd.Meeting their skepticism with a calm demeanor, Damon elaborated, "The news about Longbow Company's machines breaking down after using our chips has already spread.They're attributing the issue to Prospectus Technology's p

Damon's expression remained unmoved. "As I said, we'll investigate thoroughly. Asking us to accept responsibility before the investigation is complete seems unreasonable, doesn't it?"Jeffrey let out a cold laugh. "Fine, Mr. Sumner. But I hope you act quickly. Every day of delay costs us millions. The longer this drags on, the more Prospectus Technology will have to pay."With that, Jeffrey turned and stormed out of the room.Damon, his expression as icy as ever, summoned the head of the R&D department to his office."Take two of your team members to the Longbow Company and investigate the root cause of the machine failures. Determine whether it's our chips," Damon instructed."Mr. Sumner, it can't be our chips! We've invested so much in their development, and they've been on the market for over three years without a single issue. The problem must be elsewhere," the department head replied.Damon's tone sharpened. "I want accurate results based on the investigation—not assumption
