Chapter 564

Author: Hello Spring
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

What a jerk! Not just bullying his son, but also not even trying to verify the truth of what happened. Dumb.

    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

    Oliver frowned. "Dad, let me explain. I—""Shut up!" Hugh snapped, cutting him off. "I'm here to clean up the mess you made. Since you clearly lack the ability to manage the Raynor Group, it's better to let someone more competent take over than to watch you destroy the company."Oliver stared at his father in disbelief, unable to process what he was hearing."I've worked hard for the company these past few years, and you're kicking me out over one mistake?" he asked, his voice heavy with frustration.A flicker of emotion crossed Hugh's face before he turned away, his expression hardening."If this were just a simple investment failure, I wouldn't be so severe. But the fact that you caused such heavy losses over a woman is something I absolutely cannot tolerate!" Hugh said.The room fell into an uneasy silence. The shareholders, stunned by the intensity of the confrontation, held their breath. Most had only suggested Oliver resign in the heat of frustration, hoping to give him a

    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

    Valarie turned to the couch and saw Stefan sitting there, watching her with concern."You stayed here all night?" she asked, surprised."Yeah." He nodded. "You drank too much last night. I was worried about you, so I stayed to look after you.""That must've been exhausting," Valarie remarked.Stefan shook his head. "It wasn't. How do you feel now? I bought you breakfast and made you honey water this morning. If your head hurts, the honey water should help.""I'll wash my face first." Valarie got out of bed and went to the bathroom.While freshening up, she noticed several faint red marks on her neck and chest—suspiciously like hickeys. She frowned slightly.When she stepped out, Stefan was still on the couch, looking especially well-behaved.Valarie sat across from him, pointed at her neck, and asked bluntly, "Did you do this?"The moment the words left her mouth, Stefan's face turned bright red. He lowered his head, avoiding her gaze. "I... I couldn't help myself. But I swear

    After placing Valarie on the couch, Stefan stepped out of the private room to answer the call.Michelle sneered. "Stefan, tomorrow is the deadline for your mother's medical bill, and you haven't made any progress."Looks like you really don't care about the money. Or… have you gotten close to Valarie and don't need it anymore?"What a pity. Valarie still doesn't know you have ulterior motives. Do you want me to help tell her?"Stefan lowered his head, his eyes dark with emotion. "I'll send the photos in a bit."He hung up without hesitation.Slipping his phone back into his pocket, he didn't return to the private room immediately. Instead, he leaned against the wall and lit a cigarette. The swirling smoke obscured his features, making it impossible to read his expression.It felt like his entire life had been shrouded in darkness since birth. No matter how hard he fought, he could never break free.His phone buzzed with a new message from Michelle.Michelle: [Stefan, your mo

    Nyla continued. "And Buddy?""Mr. Mason has already gone to bed," Lydia reported.Nyla nodded, then turned and made her way to the study.She gently pushed the door open and saw Damon fast asleep on the couch. Quietly, she stepped inside.The couch wasn't very big—perfect for her to nap on while reading. But for someone as tall as Damon, it looked rather cramped.As she moved closer, she noticed he hadn't even loosened his tie before falling asleep. A flicker of distress crossed her eyes. He must have been exhausted from all the wedding preparations.Carefully, she reached out, loosened his tie, and unbuttoned the top few buttons of his shirt. Then she grabbed a blanket and draped it over him.After making sure he was comfortable, she left the room as quietly as she had entered.Since she wasn't sleepy yet, she decided to sit in the living room for a while.Just as she settled on the couch, Lydia approached with a shawl. "Mrs. Sumner, the temperature drops at night. Keep warm.

    Nyla was momentarily stunned but reached out to accept the gift."Can I open it now?" she asked.Alexander nodded. "Of course."She lifted the lid and found a stunning ruby necklace inside, surrounded by diamonds that shimmered like a star-studded sky. It was breathtaking—impossible to look away from."It's beautiful. Thank you," she gasped."As long as you like it, that's all that matters. By the way, where's Buddy?" Alexander asked."He's probably in the main hall," Nyla answered.Alexander chuckled. "Alright. I'll go look for him."As soon as he left, Valarie let out a gasp of amazement. "Nyla, who was that guy? I just saw this necklace on the news a while ago. It was auctioned off for 20,000,000 dollars to a mysterious buyer! And now, I see it in real life—right here!"Nyla was taken aback. She hadn't expected the necklace to be that valuable.She examined it again. Aside from its beauty, it didn't seem all that special."Are you sure it's worth so much?" she asked.Val

    Opening the food container, Nyla found it filled with all her favorite snacks. She couldn't help but smile."Valarie, you barely ate anything earlier. Want some?" she asked.Valarie glanced at the food, raised an eyebrow, and replied, "I'm already full—from all the PDA I've been force-fed today."Time passed quickly, and before they knew it, it was already 2:00 p.m.Valarie led Nyla out of the dressing room, where Harrison waited at the entrance, seated in his wheelchair.The moment Nyla saw him, her eyes welled with tears. "Dad."Harrison's voice thickened with emotion. "I'm here to walk you down the aisle."Nyla squeezed his hand as they descended the stairs together.At the entrance to the grand hall, Nyla held her bouquet with one hand and her father's hand with the other, her heart racing with anticipation.The doors swung open.Damon stood at the end of the aisle, dressed in a sharp white suit. His eyes locked onto Nyla's, filled with nothing but love and tenderness.E

    At that moment, Nyla finally understood what Damon had meant by a "surprise."Her eyes welled with emotion as she turned to Valarie. "Where is he now?""I'm not sure, but he's probably still handling the wedding preparations. Try on the dress first and see if it fits!" Valarie said with a grin.Nyla blinked back her tears and nodded. "Okay."With Valarie's help, she slipped into the wedding dress.It fit her perfectly—just as she had imagined.Gazing at her reflection in the mirror, she felt a bit dazed.It had been so long since she'd last worn a wedding dress—so long that she had almost forgotten what it felt like.Beside her, Valarie admired the sight. "You look gorgeous! My best friend never disappoints. Oh, wait—there's still this!"Nyla turned to see Valarie holding a diamond-studded tiara. She couldn't help but smile."Let me put it on for you," Valarie offered."Okay."Valarie carefully adjusted the tiara on Nyla's head, making sure it sat just right."Perfect," sh
