Damon stiffened and averted his gaze. "It's nothing."

"Is your arm still hurting?" Nyla asked, trying to look at Damon's arm, but he turned away.

He dismissed her concern. "It's fine. Let's get ready for dinner."

He didn't even glance at Nyla as he walked past her toward the dining room.

Nyla frowned, sensing something was off about his attitude. She thought back and realized his demeanor had changed after she returned to the car from the pharmacy.

Could it be because she hadn't mentioned Ruby to him? Was he sulking?

During dinner, Damon spoke only to Mason, ignoring Nyla unless she initiated the conversation.

After dinner, seeing Damon head toward the study, Nyla quickly followed him.

"Damon, wait! I need to talk to you," she called out.

His tone was somewhat cold when he replied, "What is it?"

Nyla looked up at him. "Are you upset with me?"

Damon avoided her gaze. "No."

"If that's true, then why were you only talking to Buddy at dinner?" she pressed.

    Damon picked up the car keys and said, "I'll take you there."Worried that Valarie might get into trouble at the bar, Nyla nodded. "Okay."…By the time they arrived at the bar, an hour had passed.When they found Valarie, she was already a bit dazed and being hit on by a drunken man. Nyla stepped forward and swatted the man's hand away from Valarie."Stay away from her!" she warned.The man, his face flushed with alcohol, turned angrily to face her. When he saw how beautiful she was, his eyes lit up. "Hey, gorgeous, what's your number—"Before he could finish his sentence, a chilling voice came from behind him. "Touch her, and you'll regret it!"The man turned to meet Damon's icy gaze. He shuddered, sobering up a little.Noticing Damon's distinguished appearance, the man awkwardly smiled. "Sorry, I mistook her for someone else."He quickly turned and left, clearly eager to avoid Damon.Nyla supported the dazed Valarie, who was nearly unable to stand. "Valarie, what happened

    "Thanks, Lydia, I appreciate it," Nyla replied.Lydia shook her head with a smile. "It's no trouble."With that, she went to the kitchen.As soon as Nyla returned from fetching water in the bathroom, she heard Valarie's quiet sobs. She hurried to the bedside, setting down the basin of water, and gently nudged Valarie."Valarie, how are you feeling?" she asked.Valarie opened her eyes. Upon seeing Nyla, she began to cry even harder. "Nyla… is my life a failure?"Noticing her red-rimmed eyes, Nyla quickly knelt beside her and replied gently, "Why do you think that?""The Weir Group is in trouble, and I can't help at all… I'm clearly attracted to Brandon, but I'm too afraid of the age difference to pursue it. I decided to get engaged to Zayn for the Weir Group, but I'm not doing it wholeheartedly… And Zayn has a mistress…" Valarie confessed.She tried to convince herself that she didn't care, but it was impossible to feel completely indifferent, especially since Zayn's mistress ha

    The study was still lit, and Damon hadn't gone to bed yet. Surprise flashed in his eyes when he saw Nyla. "What are you doing here? How's Valarie?""She's already asleep," Nyla answered.Noticing that Nyla seemed to have something to say, Damon raised an eyebrow."Damon, thank you for what you did tonight," Nyla said."Why are you being so polite? I'm your boyfriend—it's what I should do," Damon replied.After a moment of hesitation, Nyla appeared to make up her mind. She slowly raised her head to meet his gaze. "It's not just about tonight. You've always been good to me since we met. I owe you an apology and a thank you."The seriousness in her eyes made Damon press his lips together and approach her.As he drew closer, Nyla subconsciously stepped back and asked warily, "Why are you getting up all of a sudden?"Damon beamed. "Didn't you want to thank me?""Yeah, but you—" Nyla began.Before she could finish her sentence, Damon wrapped his arms around her waist and picked her

    That night, Nyla couldn't sleep. As soon as she closed her eyes, the image of marrying Damon filled her mind, making it impossible to doze off.It wasn't until just before dawn that she finally managed to fall asleep.When she woke up in the morning, dark circles were evident under her eyes.During breakfast, Damon raised an eyebrow at her and asked, "Didn't sleep well last night?"Nyla glared at the one responsible for her sleepless night. "Yeah.""Was it because I said I needed a wife?" Damon asked teasingly.Seeing him smile like a lovesick puppy, Nyla instinctively denied it. "Of course not! I was… worried about Valarie, so I couldn't sleep. What you said had nothing to do with it!""Nyla, I never realized you were so good at saying one thing and meaning another," Damon replied.Nyla gritted her teeth. "And I didn't know you could talk so much. It's early, and you won't stop chatting even over breakfast."Damon's smile widened as he continued to eat elegantly.His calm de

    Damon was silent for a few seconds before telling Spencer, "Have him come to my office at 10:00 a.m."Spencer nodded. "Got it."Just as he was about to leave, Damon suddenly called him back. "Wait, go to the pharmacy and pick up some stomach medicine to send to the lab."Spencer knew exactly who it was for without needing to be told—no one else in the lab had the privilege of Damon personally sending someone to buy medicine for them."Okay, I'll head there right away," he answered.…Nyla had just arrived at the lab when Spencer walked in."Ms. Kinsey, this is the medicine that Mr. Sumner asked me to get for you," he informed her.Seeing the bag in Spencer's hand, filled with various stomach medications, she couldn't help but chuckle. "Mr. Hogg, I'm fine. I just overate this morning."Spencer handed her the bag. "Ms. Kinsey, just accept it. This is Mr. Sumner's kind gesture, and I need a good reason to report back.""Alright, please thank him for me," Nyla said, accepting the

    Ruby's eyes instantly dimmed as she bit her lip, unsure how to respond.After a moment of silence, she slowly said, "Nyla, I know you're trying to help me, but I really can't. I need this extra income to make ends meet."Nyla sighed, her tone softening. "I understand your situation, but you also need to think about your future. If you fall behind on your experiments because you're out making deliveries, that will be a real shame."Ruby's eyes turned slightly red as she looked down, her voice trembling. "I'll try my best to balance my work with making deliveries. I won't let it affect the experiments."Nyla gently patted Ruby's shoulder and handed her a bank card. "Since you don't want to talk about your troubles, I won't pry. This money should get you through to next month. If it's not enough, come back and let me know. Try to avoid running deliveries for now."Ruby tried to decline. "No… Nyla, you've already helped me so much. I can't—" Before she could finish, Nyla firmly pres

    Damon looked at Nathaniel coldly and asked, "How do you know this?""Recently, Rebecca has been making secret calls behind my back. I checked her call records, and they mostly came from abroad," Nathaniel explained, his expression indifferent, as if discussing something that didn't concern him.The office fell silent as Damon's eyes narrowed, weighing the trustworthiness of Nathaniel's words. Feeling anxious, Nathaniel hurriedly added, "As long as you give me this project, I'll keep an eye on Rebecca's every move and report back to you daily.""Nathaniel, Rebecca is your wife and the woman you've loved for so many years. Are you sure what you're saying is credible?" Damon asked.Seeing the doubt and coldness in Damon's eyes, Nathaniel quickly replied, "I haven't been in love with Rebecca for a long time now. If it weren't for you forcing me to marry her five years ago, she wouldn't even be alive today!"Damon's gaze turned even colder at Nathaniel's desperate attempt to distance

    Nyla felt a wave of worry as she quickly got up and walked outside, replying, "Okay, I'll be there right away."…When Nyla arrived at the kindergarten, it was almost 1:00 p.m.As she approached the office door, she heard a cold female voice from inside saying, "I don't care who this student's parents are. If my son is hurt like this, I'm calling the police! We'll see each other in court!"Just as Nyla was about to enter, the door swung open. A well-dressed woman walked out, holding the hand of a four- or five-year-old child.Upon seeing Nyla, the woman stopped abruptly and exclaimed, "It's you!"Nyla was taken aback. She hadn't expected the child who had fought with Mason to be Jane's son.Her gaze dropped to the child Jane was holding. Though he was still small, it was already evident that he shared features with Jane and Gabriel.A cut marred his forehead. Although it had stopped bleeding, dried blood remained, making the injury appear quite alarming.The teacher, Laura Fer

    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

    Damon put the file down and sat across from Nyla.Noticing two portions of breakfast on the table, he asked, "You haven't eaten either?""No," Nyla replied as she opened the packages and handed one to him. "I came to eat with you. Spencer told me he brought you breakfast this morning, but you didn't touch it.""I was too busy," Damon said."Being busy isn't an excuse to skip meals. I saw your assistants running around like crazy, and I heard they barely got any sleep last night. Is the issue with the company that serious?" Nyla asked."It's significant," Damon admitted. "Our chips might be causing malfunctions in our partner's machines. If that's confirmed, the company will face a massive compensation payout."Nyla frowned, worry flashing in her eyes. "I can't help much with work, but the least I can do is keep things in order at home. By the way, are you coming home tonight?""Probably not," he replied. "There's still a lot to handle.""Alright. Finish your breakfast. I'll hea

    Gabriel took the document, skimmed its contents, and his face darkened."What is it?" Tom asked.Gabriel tossed the document onto the table with a cold laugh. "Nothing important. Damon's just trying to catch me off guard."The document contained evidence of Nyce Tech hiring paid posters to smear Prospectus Technology, but Gabriel wasn't worried.Soon enough, those allegations would become the truth.Tom glanced at the papers and grinned. "As long as it's not a big problem. Anyway, I should get going.""Fine, but don't forget your part in this," Gabriel said pointedly.There was a cold glint in Tom's eyes, though his smile remained. "Relax. I won't let you handle Prospectus Technology alone."After Tom left, Gabriel drained his wine in one gulp.As he prepared to head to his study, a maid approached with a concerned expression."Mr. Hackett, Mr. Wilhelm still refuses to eat," the maid informed him.Gabriel had brought Wilhelm straight back to the villa instead of letting him
