"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."

    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

    Damon's gaze turned icy as he asked, "Did he meet with Buddy?""Tom went under the guise of donating a building to the kindergarten. We're still unclear if he met with Mr. Mason," Spencer replied."Don't bother investigating further. Just keep an eye on him. He'll likely be in contact with someone overseas soon," Damon instructed.He ended the call and paused for a moment, then decided to remain where he was for now.Tom and Drake were both operating in the shadows.Falcon had already been compromised, so it couldn't provide any more information on Drake. Instead of staying on edge and trying to anticipate their next move, it might be better to wait and see what they would do next.Damon was certain that Tom's visit to the kindergarten was to obtain Mason's hair or something similar. After all, Mason was Nyla's child. If Tom couldn't get her hair, Mason's would suffice.…In the evening, Nyla and Damon went to the kindergarten to pick up Mason.They had dinner outside before D

    Wren staggered slightly, her face filled with disbelief. She opened her mouth, but in the end, no words came.A flash of irritation crossed Harrison's eyes.It was she who had insisted on the divorce, yet now she was acting pitiful. No matter the situation, it was never her fault—always someone else's.Nyla stood up, her cold gaze shifting to Gabriel. "We've received your apology. You and Ms. Hackett can leave now."There was nothing more to say to either Gabriel or Wren.Gabriel looked at her, his expression conflicted. He nodded and said, "Alright, we won't bother you. As for your father's medical and nutritional expenses, I'll transfer the money directly to your account.""That's fine," Nyla replied.Since it was Wren's fault that Harrison had been injured, she had no issue accepting the money.Gabriel turned to Wren, speaking in a low voice. "Mom, let's go."Without waiting for her to respond, he pulled her out of the room.Once outside the hospital, Wren finally choked o

    Nathaniel could no longer seek revenge. Instead, he was here, begging Damon for help. His heart simmered with indignation and resentment. Like Rebecca, he loathed Damon.If it weren't for Damon, neither he nor Rebecca would have had to torment each other, and the Preston Group wouldn't have ended up in its current state.However, he knew well that he lacked the power to confront Damon. His only option was to ask for his help.Damon's indifferent gaze never wavered. He was unmoved, not a hint of empathy in his eyes. From the moment Nathaniel chose to assist Rebecca in scheming against Nyla, they were no longer friends."Back when you were helping Rebecca, you didn't seem to remember our friendship," Damon remarked coldly.Nathaniel stiffened, his face draining of color."D-Damon, I've regretted every day for the past five years. I was deceived by Rebecca, and by the time I realized the truth, it was too late..." Nathaniel stammered."You don't regret it," Damon retorted. "You jus

    Nathaniel sneered, gripping Rebecca's chin tightly. "You're living in hell, and so am I. But I won't let you die. I'll keep torturing you, so you can feel my pain!"Seeing the madness in his eyes, Rebecca suddenly slapped his hand away and screamed, "You're crazy! You're a psycho!"Nathaniel smirked. "Yeah, I'm a psychopath. So don't even think about escaping me."His cruel, twisted expression was like a web, trapping Rebecca with no chance of escape.On the brink of insanity, Rebecca cursed at him loudly.The curses soon morphed into screams that echoed through the basement.After what felt like an eternity, Nathaniel finally vented his rage, throwing down the belt and standing up to leave.Rebecca lay on the floor, barely clinging to life, her gaze full of hatred.Suddenly, her eyes flickered to a key peeking out from Nathaniel's suit pocket. A glint flashed in her eyes.She grabbed onto his leg, her voice trembling. "Nathaniel… please, let me go. I promise I won't run again

    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
