Ruby shook her head. "No need. I live close to the company and the main road, so there are still plenty of people around at this hour. I'll be fine."Nyla didn't insist, nodding. "Alright, message me when you get home.""Will do," Ruby replied.After that, Nyla and Damon quickly got into the car and left, while Ruby turned to head home. Just as she neared her house, she suddenly received a call from Sullivan."Aren't you home yet?" Sullivan asked.Ruby, not used to his overly familiar tone, frowned. "I'm on my way home. Thanks for your concern, Sullivan, but is there something else you need?"Sullivan, unfazed by her cold tone, kept his voice gentle as always. "Be careful on the road. Let me know when you get home."Ruby took a deep breath before replying, "Sullivan, I thought I made myself clear last time. I really appreciate you saving me twice, but my feelings for you are nothing more than gratitude."Sullivan had heard this rejection so many times that he didn't take offens

As soon as the call connected, Rebecca's hysterical voice cut through the line. "Sullivan, when are you going to make your move?!"Since Nathaniel had discovered her relationship with Drake, he had been abusing her whenever things went wrong. She could no longer bear it. She had secretly transferred some of Nathaniel's money and planned to leave as soon as Sullivan acted.Hearing the breakdown in Rebecca's voice, Sullivan remained expressionless. "It'll be soon. Don't worry.""Soon, soon! You always say that to brush me off! I don't think you plan on doing anything to Nyla at all! Fine, if that's the case, I won't show any mercy either. Get ready for everyone to find out about the bribes you've been taking!" Rebecca threatened.Without waiting for Sullivan to respond, she hung up.Sullivan gripped his phone, his face darkening with anger. Since Rebecca had dared to threaten him repeatedly, he would no longer hold back.Taking a deep breath, he immediately sent an anonymous email

How did Nathaniel know?!Rebecca thought she had been so careful. There was no way he could have found out.Then, suddenly, she remembered Sullivan.She had just spoken to him on the phone, and now Nathaniel knew about her moving the company's money. It couldn't be a coincidence.It must have been Sullivan—that ungrateful bastard.But there was no time to think about how to deal with him. The priority now was to beg Nathaniel for forgiveness.Suppressing her fear, she clung to his leg. "Nathaniel, I know I was wrong. I did it because I was afraid you'd suddenly want to divorce me... I was so scared... Please, just let me go, I promise I'll never—"Before she could finish, Nathaniel kicked her away.The kick landed on her chest, and she screamed in pain. Her head slammed into the edge of the bed, and she nearly passed out from the blow, cold sweat dripping down her face.Nathaniel, however, didn't seem to notice her pain. His expression remained unchanged.He squatted down and

"Nathaniel, let go of me! Let go!" Rebecca cried.Nathaniel glanced coldly at her. Her face, twisted with fear, no longer resembled the prettiest girl on campus she once was.The thought that he had admired such a scheming woman as his goddess for so many years disgusted him deeply.He dragged Rebecca toward the basement entrance and forced her inside.Rebecca's eyes flashed with terror as she desperately struggled. "Let go of me! Let go! I don't want to go in!"Her hands gripped the doorframe so tightly that her nails turned purple, but Nathaniel still dragged her inside.The basement door slammed shut, cutting off all sounds from within.…More than half an hour passed before Nathaniel emerged from the basement.After locking the door, he tossed the key to the butler, who lowered his head, too afraid to speak."Feed her once a day, just as long as she doesn't starve," Nathaniel instructed.The butler quickly took the key, nodding. "Understood, Mr. Preston."Shortly after,

While showering, Damon was surprisingly well-behaved.Nyla thought he had turned over a new leaf and relaxed a bit.Yet when they returned to the bedroom, she had just finished drying her hair, ready to sleep, when he approached her.Before she could refuse, his lips were on hers, and his hands pried hers open, forcing their fingers to intertwine.The night was cool like water, and Nyla felt as if she were being swept by the tides—sometimes washed up on a dry beach, other times pulled toward the deep sea.…Nyla woke up late the next morning.She glanced at her phone, which read 8:08 a.m., and hurriedly got up, quickly washing and changing.Within ten minutes, she was downstairs.Damon and Mason were sitting at the dining table having breakfast.When Mason saw Nyla, he put down his glass of milk and said in a sweet voice, "Good morning, Mommy.""Good morning." Nyla kissed his cheek and wiped off the milk stains with a napkin before sitting down beside him.Damon looked at h

Nyla was about to speak when Damon held a takeout box in front of her."Here, eat on the way," he said.She paused for a moment, then took the breakfast. "Thank you."She hadn't expected him to be so considerate.Damon didn't say anything else. Instead, he opened a file and began reading.After a while, he glanced at her and noticed she hadn't eaten. With a frown, he asked, "Why aren't you eating?""I'm not that hungry right now. I'll eat when we get to the office," Nyla replied."Mm," he hummed and lowered his head to continue reading, but his phone rang."Mr. Sumner, there's news from the police. After reviewing the surveillance footage, they confirmed that Mr. Jayston accidentally fell down the stairs, so there shouldn't be any way to sue Wren," Spencer informed him.Damon's gaze darkened. He murmured, "Alright, I understand."He hung up and turned to Nyla, about to speak, but she beat him to it. "I heard everything."Concerned she'd be upset, Damon spoke softly to reassu

After hesitating for a while, Ruby walked over to Nyla's desk."Nyla, I'm not dating him. I only agreed to have lunch with him because he got hurt while trying to help me," Ruby said.Seeing Ruby's cautious expression, Nyla sighed. "Ruby, I just think Sullivan's not a good person, which is why I warned you."You don't have to be afraid I'll be upset about your interactions with him. I won't interfere with who you associate with, and I don't have the right to do that."Ruby finally relaxed, seeing that Nyla didn't seem upset. "Okay. Don't worry. I know what to do."Nyla nodded. "Then go get ready for the experiment.""Alright," Ruby replied.…Time flew by while they worked on the experiments. Before long, the morning had passed.At lunchtime, Sullivan stood waiting outside the lab for Ruby.Ruby finished packing her notes and turned to leave. Her expression was calm as she said, "Let's go."Sullivan walked beside her, speaking softly. "Was the experiment tiring?""It was fi

Sullivan lowered his gaze and remained silent, his expression growing colder."Oh, I see," Demi replied, her voice soft. "Sorry, I misunderstood."Her gaze lingered on Sullivan's icy face, and she bit her lip, her eyes flickering with an unidentifiable emotion.It was clear that Sullivan's feelings for Ruby went beyond those of a mere colleague or acquaintance.For the rest of the meal, silence fell between them. They ate quietly, starkly out of place amidst the lively chatter of others around the table.Once Ruby finished her meal, she set down her utensils. Noticing that Sullivan had yet to finish, she refrained from rushing him, instead pulling out her phone to watch some videos.Sullivan's gaze kept drifting toward her. When he saw that she wasn't even sparing him a glance, he pressed his lips together, his expression darkening.What he failed to notice, however, was that someone else was watching him closely as well.Half an hour later, they finished their meal.Demi took

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
