"I'll leave the house, the car, and all the savings to you and Kayden. I don't want anything," Noah said.He then pushed past the stunned Regina and walked away.Watching him leave with such determination, Regina finally panicked. She quickly chased after him and blocked his path. "Honey, I'm sorry! Don't leave me and our son! I promise I'll apologize! Please don't do this! I'm scared!"Noah looked at her expressionlessly. "Let's get a divorce. I'll prepare the papers, and you'll just need to sign them.""No!" Regina cried, her eyes brimming with tears.Confusion and disbelief clouded her gaze. She couldn't understand how a simple fight between their son and a classmate had escalated to this point.What she didn't realize was that this was just the last straw. Her previous tantrums and unreasonable behavior had led to this moment, but she thought it was just about this one incident."I won't divorce you! Noah, don't even think about leaving me and our son! I know you've been see
Before Noah could finish his sentence, Damon interrupted, "Mr. Conway, at Prospectus Technology, we value capability. As long as you handle this matter properly, it won't affect your job. But it's best if you learn to balance your family and work."Noah's previously dim eyes lit up abruptly, and he quickly assured him, "Don't worry, Mr. Sumner. I'll take this to heart and make sure it never happens again!"Damon nodded and turned to leave.Noah walked over to Kayden, pulling him up from the floor as he said coldly, "I'll take you to apologize to Mason in a couple of days."Regina, standing nearby, looked at him. "Honey—"Noah turned and struck her hard, causing her to fall to the floor.Covering her face in disbelief, she stared at him. "You actually hit me?""If you want to die, do it yourself! Don't drag Kayden down with you!" Noah hissed.He then grabbed the trembling Kayden and left.Regina clutched her face, fury filling her eyes, but she gritted her teeth and chased afte
However, Oliver quickly adjusted his expression and walked toward Nyla and Mason.As Nyla stepped out of the elevator with Mason, she looked surprised to see him. "What brings you here today?"Oliver's demeanor was warm. "I came to check on you and Buddy."He then turned to Damon. "Mr. Sumner, thanks for sending Nyla and Buddy back. Just hand me the backpack."He reached for the backpack in Damon's hand, but the latter subtly moved it out of reach, his expression cool. "No need. Buddy is my child. It's my responsibility."Oliver raised an eyebrow but didn't press the issue. When he pulled his hand back, he noticed the bruise on Mason's face. "What happened to Buddy?"Nyla kept her explanation brief. "He got into a fight at school, but it's all been sorted out.""How did it get so bad?" Oliver asked."The other kid was hurt worse. Let's not stand out here. Come inside," Nyla said.She opened the door. As she turned to take the backpack from Damon, he suddenly spoke up. "Ms. Kin
Nyla turned around and said indifferently, "Alright, I won't see you out, Mr. Sumner."Damon's gaze darkened further as he sensed her dismissive attitude. He knew she wouldn't call him. Even if she didn't, it was fine—the principal would notify him."Goodbye," he replied.After Damon left, Oliver hesitated for a moment before asking how Damon had ended up coming back with them that day.Nyla couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. "You've been holding that in for a while, haven't you?"Oliver exchanged a glance with her and laughed. "I'm just a bit curious."Nyla briefly recounted how Mason had gotten into a fight at school and how Damon had arrived not long after her.After hearing this, Oliver frowned. "Nyla, with something that serious happening, why didn't you contact me?"Nyla pressed her lips together and looked down. "I was too anxious at the time. It didn't occur to me."Besides, she had just learned that Oliver had been forced to resign because of her and Mason. Even if s
Hugh stiffened for a moment before his expression turned furious."What we're discussing is how you'll do anything to get back into the Raynor Group. I asked you to leave because you're jeopardizing the company's interests for a woman. I won't tolerate that!" he barked.Oliver nodded, his gaze cold. "Isn't it because you want Fred to take my place and use me as a stepping stone?"Hugh shot up from his seat. "What nonsense are you talking about?!"His face was flushed with rage, but Oliver noticed a flicker of guilt in his eyes."Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, we both know the truth. I just want to understand why you're paving the way for Fred at my expense," Oliver said calmly."That's enough!" Hugh slammed his hand on the table, shouting, "I don't want to argue about this useless stuff! You'll get your position back, but I'm very disappointed in you!"Meeting Hugh's enraged gaze, Oliver chuckled. "Dad, I've been disappointed in you too."With that, he turned and left.B
Nyla was surprised to see Regina apologizing."Mrs. Conway, if you're truly sincere, you should have Kayden apologize to Mason, not me," Nyla remarked.Regina quickly replied, "Of course! When are you and Mr. Sumner free? We'd like to invite you to dinner so Kayden can apologize to Mason in front of us parents. That way, he'll learn his lesson.""No need for dinner. As long as Kayden apologizes to Mason, that's enough," Nyla said."Ms. Kinsey, are you still unwilling to forgive me?" Regina asked.Seeing Regina's helplessness, Nyla guessed she was worried about Damon holding a grudge against Noah at work."Mrs. Conway, I don't have much contact with Mr. Sumner. If you really want to treat him to dinner, that's fine. Just make sure Kayden apologizes, and I won't say anything bad about your husband to Mr. Sumner," Nyla replied.Hearing this, Regina let out a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to respond, Nyla turned and got into her car, driving away.Watching the car disappear
Less than half an hour later, Cyrus arrived.Seeing Damon standing coldly at the entrance of the villa, he felt a bit awkward and greeted him, "Damon, why didn't you let me know you were coming? I could have sent someone to pick you up from the airport.""I came to ask Clark a few questions. What's been going on with him these past few years abroad? Why does he look like this now?" Damon asked.Just as Cyrus was about to respond, Clark appeared, dragging a suitcase behind him. Without acknowledging either of them, he placed the suitcase in the trunk and tried to get into the car.Cyrus quickly stepped in front of him. "Clark, where are you going?""Nyla is still alive. I need to go back and find her," Clark said.Cyrus was stunned. "What did you say? Nyla is alive? That's impossible!"Five years ago, Nyla had fallen into the sea, and Damon had sent people to search for her for a month, but they had found nothing. How could she still be alive?"Clark, have you forgotten to take
Clark's head snapped to the side from the slap, yet he laughed aloud. "Dad, you're scared Grandpa will cut off your allowance if you upset him. But I'm not afraid. Now that I know Nyla is alive, I have to go back to the country!"Damon's gaze hardened, his voice ice-cold as he addressed Cyrus, "What did Clark mean?"Cyrus didn't have time for Clark's outbursts. He turned to Damon, his expression tense. "Damon, I don't know anything. Clark hasn't been right in the head since he went abroad. He's just rambling."If Richard discovered they had leaked information about Damon's hypnosis, they would be in serious trouble—he'd cut off their allowances, and that would be the end of them.Damon's face grew even colder. "Cyrus, I think I can determine for myself whether he's in his right mind."Cyrus sighed, his shoulders slumping in defeat. "Damon, stop asking. I really don't know anything."Damon sneered. "Fine. If you won't tell me, I'll ask Dad myself!"Without another word, Damon tur
