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

    Oliver paused, his gaze falling on Nyla's hand resting on his. Her skin was fair, her fingers delicate, resembling fine porcelain. It was hard for him to look away."Nyla, thank you," he said softly.Nyla raised an eyebrow. "You're thanking me while telling me not to say thank you? That's pretty polite of you."Oliver chuckled. "Alright, I'll try to avoid saying it in the future, too.""That's more like it," Nyla teased.…After they finished their meal, Oliver dropped Nyla off at the lab before heading back to the Raynor Group.As soon as he walked into his office, he noticed Fred sitting on the couch."Mr. Burridge, are you looking for me?" Oliver asked.Fred glared at him, his voice laced with resentment. "Oliver, even if you've regained this position, you won't be able to keep it for long!""You don't need to worry about that, Mr. Burridge. Just focus on your own work," Oliver replied calmly.Fred snorted, stood up, and brushed past Oliver as he walked toward the door, d

    Mentioning this made Richard's chest rise and fall with anger. He cursed in his heart, wondering why Nyla hadn't died back then."Is that really all it takes?" Damon asked."Yes! For the Sumners, reputation is more important than anything!" Richard snapped.Damon took a deep breath, trying to suppress the emotions threatening to boil over. "What exactly did you do to me five years ago? Why don't I have any memories related to her?"Richard maintained a straight face. "You don't need to worry about that. You'll never remember that woman, and I won't allow you to remain entangled with her."Remember, you're engaged now. If you get involved with her again, she won't be able to handle the consequences!""And what if I want to be involved with her?" Damon pressed.He didn't have any feelings for Nyla. In fact, he felt a bit of repulsion. However, he was even less willing to let others dictate his life.Whether he ended up hating Nyla or falling in love with her again after regaining

    "What?" Nyla exclaimed.She pushed Oliver away, scrambled to her feet, and rushed toward Mason's room.The door stood open, revealing a complete mess inside.Nyla widened her eyes as she quickly searched for any sign of Mason but found nothing. A wave of panic washed over her, and she began to tremble uncontrollably.As she turned to run out the door, Oliver quickly grabbed her arm. "Nyla, calm down. I've already called the police and sent my team to look for Buddy. Trust me, we'll find him soon. You don’t even know where to start looking for him…"Nyla shook off his hand and continued toward the door, her face devoid of emotion.Oliver blocked her path, his voice firm for the first time. "Nyla, I can't let you leave. If Buddy is still missing and you run into trouble, I will never forgive myself."Nyla glared at him coldly. "Let me through!""No! Capitarnia is enormous. Where are you going to look for Buddy? You need to calm down," Oliver coaxed."I am calm! I don’t want to s

    "Would you happen to have a moment later? I'd love to discuss something," Gabriel asked.Tim smiled. "What a coincidence. I suppose I can spare a few minutes for a chat.""Excellent," Gabriel replied.Standing, Crystal smoothed her dress. "I'll freshen up."She knew better than to linger during Tim's business discussions."Your lipstick needs touching up. Take your time," Tim said mildly."Of course," Crystal answered.She found a quiet spot and sat for over half an hour, waiting until she received a bank notification confirming a deposit of 7,000,000 dollars.Satisfied, she returned to the table, only to find Tim dining alone."Tim, when did Mr. Hackett leave?" she asked, quickening her pace to sit across from him.Tim continued cutting his steak with deliberate precision. "No talking while eating."Although his tone was calm, Crystal had been with him long enough to sense his simmering anger.She pressed her lips together, instinctively explaining, "Tim, I'm sorry.

    By midday, Tim still refused to see Gabriel.Gabriel, considering taking a break and returning later, received a call from his secretary."Mr. Hackett, I found out Mr. Westcott has a girlfriend. Perhaps she could help arrange a meeting," his secretary said.A spark lit in Gabriel's eyes. "Send me her details right away."The secretary quickly forwarded the information.Tim's girlfriend, Crystal Glasco, came from an average family and worked as his assistant.Her background was straightforward—a bachelor's degree and a job at the Westcott Group right after graduation, where she became Tim's assistant.Their relationship, however, was more about Tim keeping her than about them being equals. That said, their three years together suggested Tim held some level of affection for her.After reviewing the details, Gabriel immediately called his secretary back. "Find a way to contact Crystal. I need to meet her today."…At around 8:00 p.m., Crystal entered an upscale restaurant in Cap

    Under Tim's leadership, the Westcott Group maintained its position as one of the top four families in Capitarnia, leaving the other three far behind.After reading the file, Gabriel closed it and asked coldly, "I asked you to arrange a meeting with Mr. Westcott. What's their response?"The secretary hesitated. "Mr. Hackett, Mr. Westcott's secretary hasn't responded. It seems they aren't interested in meeting with you."Gabriel wasn't fazed. The document made it clear that Tim was proud and highly selective in his dealings. Such a person wasn't easily approached.For Damon to even gain the Westcott Group's consideration, he must have put in significant effort.Still, there was an opportunity as long as the contract wasn't signed."No need to wait for a reply. I'll go to the Westcott Group myself tomorrow morning," Gabriel said."Understood, Mr. Hackett," the secretary replied.…At 7:00 a.m. the next day, Gabriel was already standing outside the Westcott Group. The sun hadn't f

    Damon nodded. "Got it. Have the PR department continue contacting major media outlets to remove any negative commentary about Prospectus Technology. We can't let this situation escalate further."In the business world, public opinion could be lethal. Most people were naturally inclined to follow the crowd. Without knowing the full picture, they could easily be misled.If the narrative that Prospectus Technology's chips were faulty spread too far, restoring their reputation later would require monumental resources. It was critical to stop this from snowballing now."Understood, Mr. Sumner. By the way, how's the deal in Capitarnia coming along?" someone asked.Upon hearing that, Damon's previously tense expression relaxed slightly. "Progress is decent. Barring any unforeseen issues, we should be able to sign the contract in a couple of days."The group on the call let out a collective sigh of relief.Once the deal was signed, Prospectus Technology would recover some of its losses

    "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
