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.
Damon replied icily, "I know. I'll have someone deal with it."After hanging up, he played the video and watched as Richard accused him of trying to monopolize the Sumner Group. His gaze grew colder.If it hadn't been for Richard insisting on handing the company over to him, he wouldn't have taken over the Sumner Group in the first place.Now that Richard wanted a more obedient heir, he had joined forces with Clark to smear Damon. He completely disregarded the backlash Damon would face and the impact it would have on his company.This was Damon's family—his wonderful father and nephew!Damon's heart gradually turned cold.Richard and Clark were the ones who had severed the last remnants of familial affection between them. In that case, there was no need for him to hold back any longer.He dialed Luca's number and coldly said, "I'll send you a video shortly. Organize it and post it on the company's official account."Also, gather evidence of how Clark nearly bankrupted the Sumne
Clark quickly pressed the call button next to Richard's hospital bed.A nurse rushed in to check on Richard's condition and immediately ushered everyone out of the room, placing him on a breathing machine.Outside the hospital room, Clark glared at Victor Owen. "Mr. Owen, you've come to watch the Sumner family's misfortune long enough. My grandfather has fainted because of your provocation. Can you please leave now?!"Seeing Clark's angry glare, Victor chuckled. "I didn't come to witness the Sumner family's joke. I came to remind your grandfather not to dig his own grave while still living. It would ruin his entire life's work."Clark scoffed. "This is the Sumner family's business. It's not your place to meddle!"Victor shrugged, remaining unfazed. He simply shook his head and said, "You're nowhere near as capable as Damon."With that, he left.Clark stared at Victor's retreating figure, anger flashing in his eyes as he clenched his fists at his sides.Everyone said he was infe
"Dad, I have things to do. I'll leave Grandpa with you," Clark said.Cyrus hesitated for a moment before finally speaking. "Clark, if you can't outmaneuver your uncle, just give up. It wouldn't be so bad for the three of us to go back abroad and live on our monthly allowance."Clark looked at him for a long moment before nodding. "Okay, Dad, I understand."After leaving the hospital, Clark made a call instead of negotiating with the shareholders. "I need you to kidnap someone. I'll pay you 1,500,000 dollars."As he hung up, a cruel glint shone in his eyes.Since Damon had blocked all his paths, he would make Damon experience the pain of losing his son right in front of him!…Nyla had seen the comments online as well.Initially, she was worried about Damon, but after witnessing Prospectus Technology's counterattack, she finally felt relieved.Lydia, who had noticed Nyla's anxiety, couldn't help but mention it when she brought tea to Damon."Mr. Sumner, this morning, Ms. Kinse
Spencer looked at Nyl with a hint of guilt as he replied, "Regardless, I still hope you and Mr. Sumner can end up together."Nyla smiled. "For us, staying out of each other's way is the best ending."Spencer fell silent for a moment before ultimately leaving without saying anything.Given Nyla's current wariness of Damon, it was better for him to say less. Speaking too much would only deepen their misunderstandings. If they were truly meant to be, they would find their way back to each other.Not long after Spencer left, Valarie arrived, bringing a bunch of toys for Mason.Seeing Valarie loaded down with packages, Nyla was taken aback. "Did you really need to buy so much? This could keep Buddy entertained for a year!"Valarie set her things down and shot Nyla a glance. "This is nothing. I have plenty more at home. I just couldn't carry everything today. I'll have the butler pack up and send them over tomorrow."I want to make sure Buddy gets all the toys he missed out on these p
"So, for all these five years, it's been Oliver helping you hide your identity?" Valarie asked."Yeah, I really owe you big time. If you hadn't introduced him to me back then, I wouldn't be where I am today," Nyla replied.Valarie felt a mix of nostalgia and lingering fear."I'm just glad I introduced you to him. Otherwise, you would have suffered even more. But still, I won't forgive him for keeping the fact that you're alive a secret for five years! He owes me a big meal to make up for this anger!" Valarie declared.Nyla chuckled. "Sounds good." "But if you're with Oliver, why are you still living with Buddy at Damon's villa? Won't Oliver get jealous?" Valarie asked.Nyla's expression dimmed. She looked down and said, "I owe him… I'll explain this to you another day. But let's talk about you. What's going on with you and Brandon? He seems to care about you. When did you start liking someone so much younger?"Valarie was rendered speechless.She pouted and replied, "Don't bri
Valarie didn't wait for Nyla to respond and rushed out as if something were chasing her.With Valarie's departure, the living room fell into silence.Nyla lowered her gaze for a moment, hesitating before finally looking up at Damon.To her surprise, he was also looking at her. Their eyes met, but neither spoke.Eventually, it was Nyla who broke the silence."Mr. Sumner, I'm really sorry about what happened before. I'll compensate for the losses caused to Prospectus Technology. I have only one request—please don't hide Buddy from me," Nyla pleaded."I promise I won't. I also won't use Buddy to threaten you anymore. If you don't want to live here, you can take him and move out. But you can't go back to Capitarnia right now," Damon replied.If Nyla took Mason back to Capitarnia, he couldn't guarantee that Richard wouldn't try to kidnap Mason again. Keeping them in Saintornia was the only way he could protect them.Nyla was taken aback, staring at Damon in disbelief.Did she hear
Nyla stiffened instantly, her heart pounding. Panic flashed in her eyes as her mind raced with countless possibilities.Was Damon changing his mind?Damon seemed to read her thoughts. His expression remained indifferent, though his tone was reassuring. "Don't worry. I'm not going back on my word."At this, Nyla finally breathed a sigh of relief, though her heart still raced as she followed him into the study.Damon walked to his desk and picked up a folder. He retrieved a property deed and a set of keys, handing them to her."I've already transferred ownership of this house," he told her. "You and Buddy can move in."Nyla's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the deed and keys in his hand. She instinctively recoiled.He was giving her a villa?If someone had told her this moments ago, she would have thought they were crazy. Yet, here it was, happening in the most unbelievable way.Confused, she struggled to understand his intentions. "Mr. Sumner, this is too generous. I
