Damon blinked and nodded. "Yeah, maybe it's just someone who looks a lot like your mom."

Nyla didn't dwell on the topic any longer. She placed the photo back in the album and closed it. "I'm heading to the supermarket to pick up some essentials. Want to come with me?"

"Sure," Damon agreed.

After putting the album back in the drawer, Nyla and Damon left the house together.

At the supermarket, Nyla walked ahead, picking out items while Damon pushed the cart behind her. Their attractive pairing caught the attention of several shoppers.

Once they had finished gathering the essentials, they approached the spice aisle.

Nyla turned to Damon and asked, "Should I buy some spices and groceries? We could cook dinner at my dad's place tonight."

"Sounds good to me," Damon replied.

"What do you feel like eating?" Nyla asked.

"Anything's fine," Damon answered.

Nyla stared at him, slightly annoyed. "You've been distracted since we entered the store. Is there something on your mind?"

    They hadn't been contacted in recent years, and boredom was beginning to set in.The man removed his sunglasses, revealing bright, lively eyes that outshone all the women present. He replied, "Mm, get ready to work."At his words, the partying crowd dropped their wine and champagne glasses and rushed into the manor.There had originally been four rooms on the left side of the manor's second floor. Now, they were all connected to a long room with over a dozen computers set up.The group quickly seated themselves in front of their computers, powered them on, and turned to look at the man who entered last.The man powered on his own computer and announced, his expression unreadable, "I'm sending your tasks now."Soon, a file appeared on the group's computers. As they reviewed the contents, the room filled with the sounds of typing and clicking....When Nyla and Damon returned home after shopping, the cleaning lady had already left.As they entered the kitchen, Nyla began prepari

    "She's not with me. You can't reach her right now?" Nyla asked."Yeah, she told me this afternoon she was going to a class reunion tonight. I offered to pick her up, but I got delayed by a meeting. By the time I got there, everyone had already left. And she's not answering my calls," Brandon explained.Nyla frowned. "Don't panic just yet. Did she say what kind of reunion it was?""I think it was a high school reunion," Brandon replied."Okay, I'll ask around," Nyla said.She and Valarie had been in neighboring classes in high school, so she knew quite a few people from Valarie's class.After hanging up, Nyla messaged someone from the other class to find out who had been at the dinner that night.When she learned that Valarie was unreachable, her contact immediately began asking around and soon called Nyla back. "Nyla, I just checked with the class president and others. They said a guy came by and took Valarie. They'd all been drinking a bit, and when they saw Valarie didn't re

    The men charged toward the Genges' front door, ready to break it down, when suddenly the door swung open from the inside.Seeing the group of black-clad men outside, the person inside showed no fear. His gaze landed on Brandon."Mr. Sumner, Mr. Genge is waiting for you," he said.Brandon shot him a cold look. "You're not worthy to speak to me. If you don't want this to become a public spectacle, have Tom hand over my girlfriend."The man's expression froze slightly, and the tension in the air became palpable.The black-clad men stood by, waiting for Brandon's signal. The moment he gave the order, they would storm the residence.Brandon's patience wore thin due to the silence from the other side."Barge in," he ordered.As his men started to move, a deep voice came from behind the door. "Mr. Sumner, why make such a fuss?"Tom appeared at the door, smiling as if the dozen men outside posed no threat to him.Brandon stared at him blankly. "Mr. Genge, please hand over my girlfrie

    "Brandon, you were just filling the emotional void I left in her life over the past five years. Give it time, and I'll show you who the right person for her really is!" Tom declared.Brandon dismissed his provocation completely. "Mr. Genge, there's a difference between a devoted boyfriend and a scumbag ex who cheated and got caught in bed. I think Valarie knows how to choose."Ignoring the ugly expression that twisted Tom's face, he turned away, carrying Valarie in his arms. He helped her into the car and instructed the driver to start driving.When the driver caught sight of Brandon's grim expression in the rearview mirror, he shuddered and nervously pulled down the privacy partition.Only after the partition was fully raised, and Brandon made no objection, did the driver finally breathe a sigh of relief.With the barrier up, the oppressive atmosphere dissipated, and the driver visibly relaxed.In the back seat, Brandon's gaze fell on Valarie, who was leaning against the left do

    Brandon thought Nyla was right. What mattered now was that he was the one with Valarie. He wouldn't let her go, nor would he give Tom the chance to take her away.…The next day at noon, Valarie woke up with a splitting headache. Realizing she was in her bedroom, she paused and tried to remember how she had gotten back.All she recalled from the dinner the previous night was drinking too much and then Brandon coming to pick her up. After that, everything was a blank.Brandon must have brought her home.Rubbing her aching temples, she threw off the covers and got out of bed. While washing up, she noticed her lips were injured and leaned in closer to the mirror in disbelief.What happened? Had she fallen after drinking too much?Aside from her lips, however, she had no other injuries.Confused, Valarie finished getting ready and stepped out of the bathroom, intending to call Brandon to ask about her lips.As soon as she checked her phone, she was shocked to see dozens of missed

    Tom had cheated on her five years ago, and now that she was in a new relationship, he was back to annoy her—what a persistent jerk!After thinking for a moment, Valarie picked up her phone again and called Nyla."Nyla, are you going to the welcoming dinner for Tom at his family's place tonight?" she asked."I'm not planning to go. Why?" Nyla asked."You probably heard about what happened last night when I got drunk and mistook Tom for Brandon. I just explained to Brandon, but he was really cold. He's definitely upset."I want to go talk to Tom and make it clear that I don't want him bothering me anymore. Can you come with me?" Valarie asked.If she went to meet Tom alone, Brandon would probably get even angrier if he found out.Nyla sounded surprised. "Why not take Brandon with you? It would be more appropriate.""Don't even mention it! I asked him to join me for the dinner, and he said he has to work late. It's obviously just an excuse," Valarie replied, sounding a bit defeate

    Damon had prepared a pure white, strapless long dress for Nyla, tailored at the waist and featuring a layered skirt. The bottom layer was made of white silk, while the top layer was sheer, adorned with sequins that shimmered under the lights.The dress was simply elegant, and Nyla instantly fell in love with it.The shoes were crystal heels with a crystal flower embellishing the toes—glistening and stunning.After changing into the dress and shoes, Nyla pushed open the door and stepped out of the car.A cold breeze blew by, causing her to shiver involuntarily. The next moment, a warm coat was draped over her shoulders."Let's go," Damon said, taking her hand and leading her inside.He walked half a step ahead of her, and she couldn't help but admire his tall, handsome figure. Her eyes sparkled with joy, and warmth spread through her heart.As they entered Genge residence's hall, the space was brightly lit and bustling with people.Valarie spotted Nyla and hurried over after exc

    After Valarie left, Charlotte finally got to the point. "Aunt Nyla, does your father have a unit in Sunshine Paradise?""Yeah, why do you suddenly ask?" Nyla replied.Sunshine Paradise was where her family's old house was. Harrison had moved there after getting out of the hospital."That area is about to be redeveloped. It won't be long before someone comes to discuss compensation with your father," Charlotte explained."How do you know about this? And why are you telling me?" Nyla's gaze was cold as she looked at Charlotte.Charlotte sighed. "My company is planning to collaborate with the Wilkie Group on that land, but the residents aren't keen on moving."Seeing that Nyla remained silent, she paused before continuing. "I came here to ask if you could discuss it with Mr. Jayston. If you agree to be the first to relocate, I can help you apply for an extra unit.""Ms. Sumner, I might not be able to help you with that. My dad might not want to move," Nyla replied.All these years

    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

    Damon's expression was icy as he spoke. "I've already sent the head of R&D with a team to investigate. Let's wait for their findings before jumping to conclusions."He added, "The Agihop 6th Gen isn't out yet. If the issue does lie in the Agihop 5th Gen, we should prepare for the worst—compensation payouts and the possibility of... bankruptcy.""What?!" A collective gasp echoed through the room, disbelief etched on everyone's faces."All this over a single batch of faulty machines from the Longbow Company? Isn't that a bit extreme?""Exactly. If the problem is with the Agihop 5th Gen chips, wouldn't paying compensation suffice?""Mr. Sumner, aren't you exaggerating?"The notion that Prospectus Technology could face bankruptcy over a single chip seemed absurd.Meeting their skepticism with a calm demeanor, Damon elaborated, "The news about Longbow Company's machines breaking down after using our chips has already spread.They're attributing the issue to Prospectus Technology's p

    Damon's expression remained unmoved. "As I said, we'll investigate thoroughly. Asking us to accept responsibility before the investigation is complete seems unreasonable, doesn't it?"Jeffrey let out a cold laugh. "Fine, Mr. Sumner. But I hope you act quickly. Every day of delay costs us millions. The longer this drags on, the more Prospectus Technology will have to pay."With that, Jeffrey turned and stormed out of the room.Damon, his expression as icy as ever, summoned the head of the R&D department to his office."Take two of your team members to the Longbow Company and investigate the root cause of the machine failures. Determine whether it's our chips," Damon instructed."Mr. Sumner, it can't be our chips! We've invested so much in their development, and they've been on the market for over three years without a single issue. The problem must be elsewhere," the department head replied.Damon's tone sharpened. "I want accurate results based on the investigation—not assumption

    Upon noticing Nyla's flushed cheeks, Damon's eyes darkened further."Nyla, need some help with your bath?" he asked, his voice low and enticing.Nyla snapped out of her daze, quickly pushing him away. Her wary gaze made him look like some kind of dangerous predator."No need, I'll do it myself," she replied.If she let him help, they might not come out of the bathroom for two hours.Disappointment flickered in Damon's eyes. "You really don't need help?""Mm-hmm. Now go. If you have nothing to do, play with Buddy downstairs. I'm going to shower," Nyla said, grabbing her pajamas.She darted into the bathroom as though something was chasing her, locking the door behind her with a sharp click.Hearing the lock, Damon chuckled softly, shook his head, and left the bedroom.Downstairs, Mason was playing with toys in the living room. He didn't even glance up at the sound of Damon's footsteps, already able to distinguish between Damon and Nyla's steps. Just as Damon reached the sofa,

    Damon raised an eyebrow and said flatly, "It's not about my approval. It's about ensuring the safety of the other children."Gabriel kept his gaze low, anger flickering in his eyes. What else could he say?"Understood. I've learned my lesson today, Mr. Sumner," he gritted through his teeth.The crowd began to disperse.Most parents hurriedly took their children and left, keeping a noticeable distance from Wilhelm and Gabriel as they passed, still wary that Wilhelm might lash out unpredictably.Before long, only Damon, Nyla, and Mason remained at the gate with Gabriel and Wilhelm.Gabriel turned to Damon with a cold expression. "If there's nothing else, Mr. Sumner, I'll take Wilhelm and leave now.""Mr. Hackett, shouldn't your son apologize to Buddy?" Damon asked.Gabriel's expression hardened.Taking a deep breath, he looked down at Wilhelm and said sternly, "Wilhelm, apologize to Buddy."Wilhelm lifted his chin defiantly. "I won't! I didn't do anything wrong!""Wilhelm, beh
