Chapter 631

Author: Hello Spring
Brandon clenched his jaw, resolute. "Uncle Damon, Valarie really misunderstood. You're the bigger person here. Don't hold a grudge against her."

Valarie broke free from Brandon's grip, stepping forward to face Damon again.

"I don't need his forgiveness. Even if it costs me my life today, I'm going to get justice for Nyla!" she snapped.

Damon let out a cold laugh. "Justice? What do you think you know?"

Realizing Damon's fury, Brandon quickly grabbed Valarie's arm, saying, "Valarie, you've really misunderstood. That woman is Nyla. It's my fault for calling you earlier—I should have told you in person. Hurry and apologize to my uncle!"

Valarie shook off his hand, her tone icy. "Why should I apologize? Fine, if you say that woman is Nyla, then bring her out right now! I want to see just how much she looks like the real deal!"

As her words fell, the temperature around them seemed to drop sharply.

Brandon didn't dare look at Damon. Nonetheless, he suppressed his fear and sneaked a gla

    "I don't want to hear it!" Valarie shouted. "I thought we were best friends, but you treated me like this."Seeing Nyla alive and well in front of her was initially exciting.However, as the reality sank in—that Nyla had hidden the truth from her for five years, causing her so much pain—a wave of disappointment washed over her.She realized she had been the only one suffering all this time while Nyla was alive and well, even back with Damon.Valarie felt like a joke. Nyla was already with Damon, and here she was, foolishly seeking justice for her.Not wanting to look at Nyla any longer, Valarie turned and quickly walked to her car.Once inside, she slammed the gas pedal and sped away.Brandon hurriedly jumped into his car to chase after her.Nyla bit her lip, instinctively glancing at Damon, who had remained silent. To her surprise, she noticed a red handprint on his cheek.Upon realizing it was from Valarie, guilt flashed in Nyla's eyes. "Mr. Sumner, I'm so sorry... I didn't

    Damon nodded with a hum.The two fell into silence.Nyla put away the ice pack and looked up at Damon. "Mr. Sumner, could you give me Brandon's contact information?"Damon narrowed his eyes. "What do you need his number for?""I'm worried about Valarie… I want to check if he's caught up with her," Nyla explained.Seeing the worry and guilt in Nyla's eyes, Damon reassured her, "Don't worry. With him there, Valarie will be fine.""I'd still like his contact number. I can only relax once I know Valarie is okay," Nyla insisted.Damon frowned and was about to speak when his phone suddenly rang.Upon seeing Brandon's name on the screen, his eyes turned cold, and he took a moment to answer."Uncle Damon, can you send Aunt Nyla over?" Brandon's anxious voice came through. "I caught up with Valarie, but her emotions are really unstable right now. She's locked herself in the car and won't come out."I think Aunt Nyla needs to come over and clear up the misunderstanding between them."

    Nyla grabbed Valarie's hand and tried to explain."Valarie, I didn't mean to hide this from you. There's so much going on behind the scenes," she said.Valarie pulled her hand away. "What kind of hardship could justify lying to me all these years?"Taking a deep breath, Nyla slowly recounted her experiences over the past few years.As Valarie listened, her anger gradually shifted to surprise and heartache.In the end, she hugged Nyla and cried. "I'm sorry. I misunderstood you."Nyla, also in tears, returned the embrace. "I'm the one who should apologize."Watching the misunderstanding between the two women clear up, Brandon finally breathed a sigh of relief.He turned to Damon and said, "Uncle Damon, thank you for bringing Aunt Nyla over."Damon frowned. "Didn't I tell you? She's not your aunt."Brandon glanced at him. "Uncle Damon, don't you like her?""Why would I like her?" Damon replied.Noticing Damon's frown, Brandon couldn't help but chuckle. "If you don't like her,

    Damon listened to Luca a while longer before slamming his phone against the wall, his expression icy.The next morning, as Nyla came downstairs, she sensed an unusual atmosphere in the villa.Lydia, who usually greeted her with a smile, was busy in the kitchen and barely acknowledged her with a quick wave.Even Maddie, who often made sarcastic remarks, didn't glance her way at all today.After sitting down at the table with Mason, Nyla was about to greet Damon when he abruptly stood and left without even looking at her.Watching his cold retreat, she bit her lip, a hint of confusion flickering in her eyes.What was going on with Damon? Was he still upset about last night?As Damon exited, the oppressive atmosphere in the living room lightened, and it felt noticeably warmer.Mason, oblivious to the strange vibe, looked up at Nyla and whined, "Mommy, I want the pancakes you make. Can you make some for me?"Suppressing her worries, Nyla nodded. "Sure, I'll make them right now. Yo

    Upon seeing Nyla, Damon tightened his grip on his pen, his knuckles turning white. Coldly, he replied, "No, I don't like greasy food."He refocused on the documents, his frown revealing how upset he was. It would take a fool not to recognize that Damon was angry with her.Nyla bit her lip and took a deep breath before entering the study. As she approached, Damon looked up and snapped, "I'm working. Get out!"His icy gaze froze her in place, and her face paled slightly. "Mr. Sumner, are you still upset about last night?" she asked.Damon shot her a cold look. "No. Can you leave now?"Nyla didn't budge, forcing herself to meet his gaze. "But… your attitude is making me anxious. Did I do something wrong?"Damon scoffed. "Anxious? What do you have to be anxious about?"If it weren't for Luca's investigation, he wouldn't have believed that the person behind Stephen was her. He had just started to feel something for her, only to discover she was using Stephen and Prestige Corp. to s

    Damon looked down at her, his eyes filled with disgust. "You can scheme against me, but I can't keep you from seeing Buddy?""If you hadn't taken Buddy away and threatened that he wouldn't come back to me, I wouldn't have to do this!" Nyla cried.Damon let out a cold laugh. "So it's all my fault?"Nyla's expression hardened as she replied firmly, "That's not what I meant, but you're at fault too. Buddy has been with me since he was little, and you had someone take him from our home without saying a word. Don't you think that's excessive?"Upon recalling the fear she felt the night Mason was taken, Nyla's expression turned icy. No matter what happened, she wouldn't let Damon take Mason away from her again."Looks like you don't see any problem with your actions. In that case, forget about seeing Buddy!" Damon declared.He tried to push past her and leave.In a panic, Nyla grabbed his arm. "No! I won't let you hide Buddy away again!"Feeling the softness of her grip, Damon went r

    Lydia quickly brought the first-aid kit and said, "Ms. Kinsey, please go sit on the couch. Let me take care of your injury."Nyla shook her head, looking gratefully at Lydia. "No need. I can do it myself.""Let me help. It's not easy for you to do it alone," Lydia advised.Seeing Lydia's insistence, Nyla finally nodded. "Alright, Lydia. I'll trouble you."Nyla gently wiped the tears from Mason's face and said softly, "Buddy, don't cry anymore. Mommy is fine."Mason sniffled, gripping the hem of Nyla's shirt tightly, his eyes filled with fear.Nyla led Mason to the couch and sat down while Lydia quickly and skillfully tended to her wound.As Lydia picked up the first-aid kit to leave, she noticed Damon still standing there with a stern expression.Unable to hold back, she spoke up. "Mr. Sumner, I don't know what conflict you have with Ms. Kinsey, but it's not right to let her get hurt. You shouldn't fight, especially in front of Buddy. He's still young, and your constant arguing

    Damon was indifferent as he replied, "Got it. Don't worry about it."No matter how much noise they made, they couldn't take away his shares in the Sumner Group. They were nothing but clowns.In the hospital…Clark's eyes were cold as he read the online comments attacking Damon. He refused to believe that Damon wouldn't clarify the situation.Once he did, Clark would immediately release the video of Richard accusing Damon of being unfilial for not returning the company after taking it.By then, Damon would have no way to defend himself.As the morning wore on and more people joined in condemning Damon, there was still no response from him.Cyrus began to feel uneasy and asked, "Clark, do you really think this plan will work?"Cyrus had been skeptical of Clark's idea when he brought it up the previous night. He knew Damon simply wasn't the type to care about his reputation."Dad, don't worry. Uncle Damon won't be able to resist responding," Clark replied through gritted teeth.

    "I'm not doing anything special. What's up? Aren't you supposed to be in a business meeting? How do you have time to call me?" Valarie asked.Brandon replied, "It's all taken care of. My flight is tonight. Want to meet up?"Valarie raised an eyebrow. "What time will you be back in Saintornia?""A little after 11:00 p.m.," Brandon answered.Valarie shook her head. "That's too late. You've been on a business trip for almost a week. You should just go home and rest."Brandon chuckled. "But I really want to see you. How about this? I'll have my driver stop by your place. We can see each other briefly, and then I'll head home. Sound good?"Valarie considered it. His route home would pass by her neighborhood anyway. "Alright. Just call me when you're close. I'm about to have dinner, so I'll talk to you later. Bye.""Okay," Brandon replied.After hanging up, Valarie entered the restaurant.Stefan had reserved a private dining room, and by the time she arrived, he was already inside.

    Michelle hung up after delivering her threat.Stefan stood frozen, his body tense with despair.No matter what he did, it seemed he could never truly escape the Snowdens.If it weren't for them, he wouldn't be able to pay for his mother's treatment. Yet, they were the people he hated most. He despised them.He also despised his mother, Lily. If she had never given birth to him, he wouldn't be trapped in this nightmare, stuck in the mud with no way out.And yet… she was the only person who had ever shown him kindness.That fragile thread of family—thin and fraying—still tugged at his heart, holding him back. Even though it hurt, he couldn't bring himself to sever it.…Valarie had just returned home when her mother called her over. She changed into her house slippers and sat beside her."Valarie, when are you and Brandon getting married?" Phoebe asked.Valarie frowned. "Mom, we haven't even discussed that yet.""You're not getting any younger." Phoebe huffed. "You rejected every guy we

    The two of them were eight years apart, with different interests and personalities.Some of Stefan's behavior struck Valarie as incredibly immature. But more importantly, she had never seen him in a romantic light.To her, he was more like a younger brother—someone she felt protective of, but not someone she could ever like that way.He should be dating girls his own age, and she should get back to living her own life.With that thought, Valarie accepted the money.Valarie: [Thank you for everything these past few weeks. And… I'm sorry about today.]…Stefan stared at the message on his screen in a quiet park, his lips curling into a mocking smile.Just as Brandon had said—Valarie had only been using him as a distraction. Now that she was back with Brandon, she'd discarded him without hesitation.Taking a deep breath, he deleted the chat and didn't reply.They had always been from different worlds. Now, things were simply returning to how they had been before.Still, he coul

    "You did that on purpose, didn't you?" Valarie cut Brandon off, her gaze sharp with accusation.Brandon hesitated, caught off guard for a moment.After a brief pause, he nodded. "Yes, I did. Because I don't like how much attention you're giving Stefan. If it had been any other server handling the bill, would you still be questioning me like this?""There's no 'if.' I chose to be with you again, which means I'm not holding onto anything with Stefan. So, there's no reason for you to single him out," Valarie replied.Brandon's expression darkened slightly. He opened his mouth as if to speak, then held back. "Alright. I understand.""Good. Let's go home," Valarie said, and the car fell into silence.When they finally arrived at the Weir residence, Brandon broke the quiet. "Valarie, don't you think… things between us aren't the same anymore?"They were supposed to be a couple, yet they tiptoed around each other—testing boundaries, afraid to say the wrong thing.Valarie pressed her l

    "Alright. I'm about to board. I'll talk to you later," Nyla said.Valarie replied, "Okay, have a great trip."After hanging up, Nyla turned to Damon and Mason, her eyes glowing with happiness.She had dreamed for so long of taking a family trip together. Now, that dream had finally come true.…Valarie and Brandon walked into the restaurant.As they sat down, a server approached with two glasses of water."Good evening, sir, ma'am—" Before the server could finish, his smile faltered.Valarie hadn't expected to see Stefan here. A flicker of surprise crossed her face.Just as she was about to speak, Stefan quickly regained his composure, adopting his usual polite smile. "Good evening. May I take your order? We just received fresh salmon and sea urchin today. I highly recommend trying them."Brandon raised an eyebrow, a faint hint of mockery in his gaze. "We'll take your recommendations. And add an order of Arctic shrimp sashimi as well.""Certainly, sir. Would you like anythin

    Michelle frowned. "What the hell are you talking about? I already told my assistant to handle it.""Then why was my mom kicked out of her hospital room in the middle of the night?" Stefan shot back.Michelle's voice grew cold. "Forget about that. I should be asking you. Besides taking a few staged photos with Valarie, have you made any real progress?""What more do you want?" Stefan asked.She smirked. "I want something that will completely ruin her. You know what to do.""Send me 250,000 dollars for medical expenses first, or I'm done doing your dirty work," Stefan demanded.Michelle let out a mocking laugh. "Stefan, you know I can have your mother thrown out of the hospital for good with a single word, right?"He had no right to threaten her.Stefan retorted, "Oh, I believe you. But if you do that, I'll make sure the whole world knows everything you made me do. When that happens, Brandon will never want anything to do with you again.""You!" Michelle clenched her jaw, her fa

    "Yeah, I just got home. How's your mother doing now?" Valarie asked."Her condition is stable. Veevee… I need to ask you something," Stefan said.A flicker of surprise crossed Valarie's eyes. "What is it?"There was a brief silence before Stefan spoke again. "Never mind, it's nothing important. Get some rest. Goodnight."Before Valarie could respond, he had already hung up.She set her phone down, deciding to invite Stefan out for dinner in the next few days and have an honest conversation with him.…After the surgery, Michelle remained unconscious for a full day before finally waking up.The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Jayden sitting by her bedside."Michelle! You're awake!" Jayden exclaimed, relief flooding his voice as he quickly pressed the call button for the doctor.Once the doctor confirmed she was out of danger, Jayden exhaled deeply."Michelle, do you have any idea what I went through while you were unconscious? Please, don't ever do something so reckless a

    The moment Brandon spoke, silence blanketed the room.Yale and Nolan both looked visibly uneasy.Jayden froze for a second, then his face twisted with disappointment. "Fine! From now on, we're strangers!"With that, he shoved Nolan aside and stormed toward the hospital entrance.Nolan frowned and turned to Brandon. "Brandon, Jayden was just upset. Did you really have to make it so final? How are you going to fix things later?""I don't plan to fix anything. Because of him and Michelle, Valarie and I fought countless times. Do you really think I should sacrifice my girlfriend for two so-called friends?" Brandon retorted.Seeing the indifference in his expression, Nolan suddenly regretted sending that message earlier. If he hadn't texted Brandon about Valarie being with another guy, none of this would have happened."I'm heading home," Brandon said before turning to Valarie, taking her hand, and leading her out of the hospital.Watching them leave, Nolan felt a surge of frustrati

    A cold gust of wind blew through, and Brandon felt his heart sink.From the moment he first laid eyes on Valarie, he had made up his mind—he had to be with her, to marry her.He had pursued her for five years. They had finally gotten together, only to break up soon after.He had tried everything to win her back, but no matter what he did, she only seemed to drift further away.Was it really impossible for them to be together?"Valarie, you told me to stay away from Michelle for a month, and I did."Tonight, Jayden called to say that Michelle tried to commit suicide and is in the hospital being resuscitated. I still didn't go see her."I know I made a lot of mistakes before, but I've been trying to change. Can you give me one more chance?" he pleaded.Valarie remained silent for a long time. She knew she still had feelings for Brandon. When she met his pleading gaze, she felt herself softening.Finally, she looked at him and nodded. "Alright, but this is the last chance I'm giv
