Chapter 563

Author: Hello Spring
Nyla felt a mix of emotions, unsure of what to do. Oliver had done so much for her, bearing immense pressure, yet he had never mentioned it to her. What she was facing now seemed trivial in comparison.

If Bailey refused to help, Nyla would continue seeking her out until she agreed. With this thought, she felt a sense of clarity.

"Oliver, thank you!" she exclaimed.

"I told you not to say thank you," he replied.

"This is the last time, I promise!" Nyla insisted.

Oliver chuckled. "Okay, I'll trust you one more time. I have work to do, so I'll stop talking now. Goodnight."

After hanging up, his secretary spoke quietly. "Mr. Raynor, the shareholders still won't leave…"

Without replying, Oliver put away his phone and walked into the meeting room with a serious expression.

As soon as he entered, the shareholders began voicing their displeasure.

"Oliver, you've let the company get into such a mess over a woman. What were you thinking?" one shareholder demanded, slamming his hand on th

    The next morning, Nyla drove Mason to school, her mind elsewhere.Mason noticed her distraction and tightened his grip on his backpack.When they arrived at the school, Nyla forced a smile and gently said, "Buddy, Mommy will pick you up tonight."Mason nodded. "Okay."After watching Nyla leave, Mason accessed his smartwatch and dialed the number Spencer had given him.A moment later, a cold voice came through the line. "What is it?"Mason took a deep breath, his small face tense. "I want to meet you."In the principal's office an hour later…Mason sat across from Damon, his baby face filled with anger. "What will it take for you to stop bothering my mom and me?"Although he was only four years old, there was no hint of fear in his gaze. He even bore a striking resemblance to Damon's commanding demeanor.Damon looked at Mason, who mirrored his own features, a complicated expression crossing his face.At such a young age, Mason should have been innocent and carefree. Yet there

    After saying that, Mason turned and ran away, his small figure filled with despair and helplessness.Damon watched him go, his expression devoid of warmth.Sebastian, visibly shaken, quickly stepped forward. "Mr. Damon… your son is still young. You have to coax him. Being too strict will only make him hate you more."Damon's icy gaze fell on Sebastian, causing him to blanch. He quickly lowered his head, mentally cursing himself for speaking out of turn."How do you suggest I coax him?" Damon asked.Sebastian's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked up at Damon. Had he really heard that right? Damon was asking him how to handle a child?Noticing Damon's growing displeasure, Sebastian hurriedly replied, "I know how to handle kids. Although he is only four, he's starting to develop his own sense of self."The most important thing is to respect and understand a child's thoughts. Within certain limits, let them make their own choices. You need to give them enough time and space to ex

    Fred's expression stiffened. He quickly said, "Mr. Sumner, this was entirely Mr. Raynor's decision. By the time I found out, it was too late. Otherwise, I would have stopped him. "Moreover, the Raynor Group has suffered significant losses this time, and many shareholders are secretly trying to remove Mr. Raynor from the CEO position."Damon remained expressionless, seemingly uninterested. "That doesn't concern me."Fred carefully observed Damon's face, hoping to glean something from his expression, but found nothing. The rumors about Damon being cunning seemed accurate—dealing with him required caution.Realizing he needed to take a risk, Fred steeled himself and said, "Mr. Sumner, I know you have grievances with Mr. Raynor. I can help you deal with him."Damon chuckled, but his eyes were devoid of warmth. "Help me?"Fred's face turned a shade paler, but thinking of his objective, he pressed, "It could be mutually beneficial. I want the CEO position at the Raynor Group."Damon

    As soon as Aubrey Jane Keith spotted Nyla, she set down her coffee and waved her over with a smile. "Nyla, over here!"Nyla sat down across from her. "Ms. Keith, I'm sorry for being late. There was traffic."Aubrey Jane looked at her with a warm gaze, as if she were a younger family member. "No problem! I'm not busy today. What made you want to meet for coffee?"Noticing Nyla's hesitance, Aubrey Jane grew more intrigued. "What's wrong? It's rare to see you like this."Taking a deep breath, Nyla replied, "Ms. Keith, I actually wanted to ask for your help."Surprised, Aubrey Jane raised an eyebrow. "What is it?"It must be important for Nyla to bring it up to her.They had met at a drug research conference, where Nyla had saved Aubrey Jane after she fainted due to low blood sugar. As they got to know each other better, Aubrey Jane grew fond of Nyla. They not only shared interests but also similar life experiences.Aubrey Jane had struggled in her younger days while raising her so

    With that thought in mind, Erin looked at Aubrey Jane with growing eagerness. "Ms. Keith, are you here shopping?"Aubrey Jane smiled, but her gaze was noticeably distant. "No, I'm here to meet a friend. Ms. Hulle, if there's nothing else, I have a meeting soon. Let's chat another time."Seeing her about to leave, Erin quickly spoke up. "Ms. Keith, I heard that the Keithstone Group has a resort project, and the partnership hasn't been finalized yet—"Aubrey Jane interrupted her with a polite smile, "Ms. Hulle, we just confirmed our partner for the project. I'm sorry. We'll work with the Hulle Group if there's a chance next time."Erin stood frozen for a few seconds, trying to process what she had just heard. "Ms. Keith, may I ask which company you're partnering with?"A flash of displeasure crossed Aubrey Jane's expression. "I'm afraid that information is not convenient to share right now, Ms. Hulle. Goodbye."Once Aubrey Jane disappeared from view, Erin quickly realized she neede

    Damon narrowed his eyes, about to speak, when Erin quickly said, "I won't disturb you then. Remember to drink the soup on the table and don't work too hard."She turned and hurried out, her steps frantic, as if something were chasing her.Damon's gaze grew colder as he watched her leave. Regardless of Erin's consent, he was determined to end their engagement.Spencer walked in with some documents, and Damon instructed, "Forget about the Keithstone Group resort project proposal."Spencer was taken aback. "Mr. Sumner, we've been preparing that proposal for over half a month, and it's nearly finished. Besides—""The Keithstone Group has already confirmed their partner," Damon stated.Spencer swallowed the rest of his words and nodded. "Understood."As he left the office, he informed another secretary to stop working on the proposal when his phone rang. Seeing it was Richard, he tightened his grip on the phone and frowned.Why was Richard contacting him out of the blue?Spencer we

    Oliver's gaze darkened as he replied, "Got it. I'll head over right now."The expressions of the shareholders turned grim. It was clear that these business partners were here to discuss terminating contracts."Mr. Raynor, if you can't persuade the partners to change their minds, you should resign today, or I'll contact your father to see if it's time for him to consider replacing you with someone more suitable!" one of the shareholders threatened.Oliver's gaze turned icy as he glared at the shareholder who had spoken.The man was momentarily intimidated, his face paling slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and retorted, "Mr. Raynor, looking at me like that won't help! I'm doing this for the good of the company!""Honestly, I've always known these rich heirs don't know how to do business. Letting them take over the company would be a disaster!""Right? We're only here because we don't hold as many shares as he does.""If this keeps up, I might consider selling my shar

    As Fred listened to the others praise him while criticizing Oliver, he felt immense satisfaction. Over the past few years, Oliver had done an admirable job running the company, and Fred had not found an opportunity to unseat him as CEO.With this latest mistake, Fred was determined to take advantage of the situation and claim the position for himself.No... He intended to make the Raynor Group change its name to Burridge!"I can help the company through this crisis," Fred said. "But if Mr. Raynor has another impulsive moment that harms the company's interests, there might not be anyone to cover for him next time.""Mr. Raynor did lead the company through significant growth in the past, but someone who would jeopardize the company's survival over a woman is unfit to be a leader. Don't you all agree?"The shareholders, no fools themselves, quickly understood that Fred wanted to replace Oliver.With Fred's 30% stake, he was indeed the most viable candidate to succeed Oliver as CEO

    "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
