"Why don't you investigate who ended up with that gaming company?" Gabriel retorted.There was a brief silence before Tom chuckled.When the Wilkie Group partnered with Starlite Enterprise, they handed over hundreds of millions to the latter. Then, to salvage their cash flow crisis, they sold Gabriel's gaming company, using the proceeds to patch up their financial hole.In essence, Gabriel had contributed nothing yet walked away with a gaming company.Meanwhile, the Wilkie Group lost everything—the gaming company, the money, and now even the stability of its headquarters. The company was on the brink of collapse."I have to say, Mr. Hackett, your maneuvering is impressive. You've played the Wilkies like a fiddle."I wonder, though, how Jane would feel if she realized she spent billions of the Wilkie Group's funds just to gift you her gaming company? Do you think she'd be furious?" Tom quipped.Gabriel's gaze turned cold. "And how does any of this relate to our partnership?""Of

Tom gritted his teeth so hard he thought they might shatter, but he still managed to force a smile."You're right, Mr. Hackett," he said.…By the time their discussion had finished, it was already past 10:00 p.m.Gabriel had other matters to attend to and left first.Tom stayed in the private room for a while before stepping out.As he exited Violet Carriage, he saw Valarie and Brandon walking out of a nearby restaurant. They had just finished dinner, casually holding hands and both smiling.Valarie's gaze was almost entirely fixed on Brandon, not sparing a glance for anyone else.Her eyes, once filled with affection when she looked at Tom, now brimmed with disdain and impatience. She didn't even want to speak to him.A wave of emptiness washed over Tom, and he stood there, watching them walk away.Soon enough, when Prospectus Technology fell and the Sumner Group collapsed, Brandon would no longer be a threat to him over Valarie.Tom took a deep breath, turned, and headed f

Philip shook his head. "Ms. Wilkie, I have other matters to attend to. If you need a lawyer, I can refer one to you.""Fine. Let's see if you'll get your lawyer's fee after this," Jane shot back.Without another word, Philip walked past her and left.Fuming, Jane grabbed the divorce papers and prepared to tear them up again.As her hand hovered over the papers, though, she paused.She took a deep breath and read the contents. After that, she tossed them straight into the trash.Gabriel had truly lost his mind—he was offering her 10,000,000 dollars as compensation for the divorce.He had worked at a game company under the Wilkie Group for years, earning only a few thousand each month. Where could he possibly get 10,000,000 dollars?Jane picked up her phone and called her assistant. "Find out where Gabriel is now!"She expected a quick response, but after an entire day, the assistant still hadn't located him.Jane lost her temper. "What kind of job do you do? You can't even fin

"No need. Tell Jane that if she refuses to sign the divorce papers, I will never see her again," Gabriel said before hanging up the phone.When Wren called again, he didn't pick up.She slammed her phone down, her mind boiling with rage.If it weren't for Nyla's return, Gabriel wouldn't have wanted to divorce Jane. It was all Nyla's fault.The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She immediately drove to Prospectus Technology to confront Nyla....When the receptionist informed Nyla that someone was looking for her, Nyla was confused. If it had been someone she knew, they would have called first. No one came unannounced."Did she say who she is?" Nyla asked.The receptionist shook her head. "No, but she insisted on seeing you. She seems to be someone you know.""Alright, tell her to wait a moment," Nyla replied.After the receptionist left, Nyla finished inputting the data for her experiment, removed her lab coat, and headed downstairs.As she stepped out of th

When Wren saw Gabriel, she was momentarily stunned, then sneered. "So, you won't come to see me, but you rush here when it's Nyla? Does she matter more than your own mother?"Gabriel didn't waste time arguing. He dragged her toward the car and told the driver to leave immediately. If she stayed there, who knew what other mess she'd create.In the car, Wren shoved his hand away and was about to open the door.Gabriel's cold voice stopped her. "If you jump out at this speed, you'll either die or be paralyzed."Wren froze, then turned to glare at him. "What do you want? You're throwing away your family for Nyla?""This is none of your business," he replied.Wren scoffed. "None of my business? Gabriel, do you really think Nyla will be with you just because you divorce Jane? I advise you to wake up. She didn't care about you five years ago. Do you really think she'll care now?"Gabriel's anger flared. His cold eyes bore into hers, and the temperature in the car seemed to drop.Wren

"Do you even believe what you're saying?" Wren demanded.If it weren't for Nyla's return to the country, Gabriel would never have asked Jane for a divorce. It was all Nyla's fault. If only Nyla had died when she fell into the sea five years ago…Gabriel stared at Wren, his expression unreadable. "Whether you believe it or not doesn't matter to me. You should mind your own business and stop interfering with mine.""Gabriel, are you really trying to drive me crazy?" Wren snapped."I'm not trying to upset you, and I haven't done anything to hurt you. It's you who keeps meddling in my affairs. I don't listen, so you get angry. You should reflect on whether it's right for you to interfere with my life," Gabriel replied flatly.Wren felt a wave of disappointment as she met Gabriel's cold gaze. "Gabriel, I worked so hard to send you abroad for school, not for you to come back and make me miserable!""If you just stayed out of my business, you'd have fewer problems," Gabriel retorted."

There was silence on the other end of the line before Gabriel's deep voice came through. "Mr. Sumner, Nyla probably doesn't want to see my mother.""And you think she wants to see you?" Damon shot back."Mr. Sumner, just because she doesn't want to see me now doesn't mean she won't in the future," Gabriel retorted. "It's like how you're with her now. It doesn't mean you'll always be together, right? Don't you agree?"Damon's gaze sharpened, his expression cold."Gabriel, let me warn you. Don't even think about anything inappropriate with her. If you do, don't think you're safe just because you're the CEO of Nyce Tech. Even if you're the richest person in the country, I'll make sure you have nothing," Damon warned."Mr. Sumner, you talk big. I'll be watching closely to see how you make me lose everything!" Gabriel replied, then hung up.Damon set his phone down, his face darkening.It seemed Gabriel was ready to leave Saintornia for good....That evening, as Nyla got into the

"That's not all. In order to save the headquarters, the Wilkie Group sold the game company Gabriel was running. Guess who the actual controlling shareholder is now?" Damon suggested.Pedro looked appalled. He instinctively rebutted, "Impossible... How could he be the hidden owner of Nyce Tech..."Damon understood that this kind of news was hard to process. He gestured for Spencer to place a file in front of Pedro."Mr. Wilkie, you can take a look at this document first. After reading it, you'll have a clearer idea," Damon said.Pedro took the file, and after reading it, his face turned grim."How could this happen? He's been hiding this for so many years... If it weren't for you telling me today, I might not have realized the truth until the Wilkie Group went bankrupt!" Pedro exclaimed.Damon remained indifferent as he reminded him, "Mr. Wilkie, over the years, Gabriel has placed many of his people in your company. If you don't clear them out, he'll know every move the Wilkie Gro

"That's more like it," Valarie chirped.Nyla couldn't help but say, "Valarie, stop bullying Brandon all the time."Brandon turned to her and sighed dramatically. "Aunt Nyla, since you mentioned it, I have to say something. You have no idea what I've been through these past six months, I— Ouch!"Before he could finish, Valarie pinched his waist. "What was that? Tell me, Brandon. Have you been unhappy these past six months?""N-No... I've been very happy..." Brandon winced."Have I bullied you then?" Valarie pressed."No..." Brandon murmured.Valarie huffed. "If not, then keep your mouth shut, or Nyla will really think I mistreat you." Brandon gave her a pitiful look, lowering his head like a scolded puppy.Before they married, Valarie had been gentle and beautiful in his eyes. But after marriage, he realized how wrong he had been.Gentle and beautiful? All an illusion.If he stayed out drinking and came home late, he'd have to choose between sleeping on the couch or outside.

Taking Mia to work was exhausting, but every time she smiled at Damon, it made everything worth it."She'll be fine. Didn't you just say she loves us both equally? She'll cry for a bit, but if you stop taking her to the office, she'll get used to being at home," Nyla reasoned.Seeing Nyla's determination, Damon finally relented. "Alright, we'll try it tomorrow. But if she cries too much, you'll have to take her to the office.""Deal!" Nyla said....After getting ready for work the next morning, Damon kissed Mia on the cheek and headed for the door.As soon as he changed his shoes at the entrance, she reached her little arms toward him, asking to be held. She had grown so accustomed to going to the office with him every day that it had become a reflex.Damon glanced at Nyla. "Nyla, maybe today we should—"Nyla interrupted, "Nope. You go to work. And if you're free for lunch, don't bother coming home. If you need to work late, no rush to come back either."Damon chuckled. "You'

"Brandon, from now on, I'm entrusting Valarie to you," Jonathan said. "She's been spoiled by us and can be a little willful at times. I hope you'll be patient with her in your marriage, and I wish you both a lifetime of happiness together."Brandon held Valarie's hand tightly, his expression solemn. "Dad, don't worry. I'll cherish her with all my heart."Jonathan nodded, stepping down from the stage. He discreetly wiped away his tears.After exchanging vows and rings, Valarie and Brandon sealed their love with a kiss, surrounded by cheers and applause.…On the way home from the wedding, Nyla glanced at Damon. "I saw Mr. Weir wipe his tears so many times today. When Bunny gets married, you'll definitely be just like him, sneaking off somewhere to cry."Damon's grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly, his gaze sharpening. "No one will ever be good enough for my daughter. If she never gets married, we'll take care of her for the rest of our lives."Nyla raised an eyebrow and

"Of course! When's the wedding?" Nyla asked.Valarie shook her head. "We haven't decided yet. He'll come to my house in a few days to discuss it with my parents."Nyla raised an eyebrow. "You're about to get really busy. Planning a wedding alone will take a lot of work.""Yeah, I'm already getting a headache just thinking about it," Valarie replied....For the next few months, Valarie was completely consumed by wedding preparations and work, barely having time to catch her breath.The wedding was set for August 8th, leaving them with less than six months to finalize everything.Valarie even traveled abroad several times to meet with designers and ensure her wedding dress was exactly what she wanted.Beyond the dress, she and Brandon spent hours discussing every detail—from the venue to the wedding favors and bouquet choices....After months of nonstop planning, the big day finally arrived.Valarie was already up, getting her hair and makeup done at 2:00 a.m.By the time N

Valarie looked up and saw the approaching glow.When the figure finally stopped in front of her, she realized it was Brandon.Frowning, she asked, "Where did you go? I waited so long for you. And what are you hiding behind your back?"Brandon flipped his phone face-down on the table, revealing the flowers he had hidden. Then he dropped to one knee."Valarie, I had planned a perfect proposal for you, but when you asked earlier about the meaning of wearing a wedding dress, I knew I couldn't wait any longer."Before I met you, my life revolved solely around work. I never paused for anyone—I never cared whether the sun was rising or setting, or if the moon was full or waning. But everything changed after I met you."I began cherishing the thought of greeting you every morning, sharing meals with you, and standing by your side for life."Valarie, I want every morning to begin with us waking up together, and every night to end with us holding each other as we fall asleep."Finally, B

Of course, every time they visited Valarie's home, Phoebe would subtly—or sometimes not so subtly—hint that they should get married.Brandon had always assumed Valarie wasn't interested in marriage since she never responded to those hints. He hadn't considered proposing.But today, seeing her so excited about picking out baby clothes made him start to imagine a future with her—building a family, raising a child.That thought filled his heart with warmth.After more than three hours of shopping, they finally left the mall, their arms full of bags.Once they loaded everything into the car, Valarie turned to Brandon. "I'm starving. Let's grab something to eat."Brandon nodded. "Sure. What are you in the mood for?""I'm not picky. Is there anything good around here? I don't feel like going too far," she replied.Brandon paused, then said, "There's a place with ethnic cuisine nearby. I went there once for a business meeting—it was pretty authentic. Want to give it a try?""Sounds g

Nyla was silent for a moment before nodding. "Alright. If you ever need Damon to help figure out Brandon's thoughts, just let me know.""I will. Don't worry about us, though. You just gave birth. Your main priority should be resting," Valarie said."Okay," Nyla replied.Valarie lingered in the bedroom for a while, but when she saw Nyla looking tired, she stood up and left.Downstairs, only Brandon was in the living room.Valarie walked over to him and asked, "Where's Damon?""He had something to take care of for work, so he went to the study. How's Aunt Nyla?" Brandon asked."She seems to be doing well, and the baby is adorable. Oh, right, I forgot to ask what the baby's name is. I only know her nickname is Bunny," Valarie said.Just thinking about Mia Sumner's cute little face made Valarie smile. She was already looking forward to the day the baby would call her godmother.A flicker of something crossed Brandon's eyes. "You really like kids, huh?""Of course! I've said befor

Once they were in the car, Nyla suddenly recalled Damon's phone call earlier. "By the way, what did Alexander want?"After a brief pause, Damon glanced at her. "He said Ms. Kinsey left you an inheritance and asked when we'd be able to go to Meristate to take care of it."Nyla pressed her lips together before replying, "Call him later and tell him to donate it or keep it for himself. I don't want it.""Alright," Damon replied.When they arrived home, Damon helped Nyla settle onto the couch, placing a pillow behind her back for support. Then, he said seriously, "Nyla, you've been through enough. Let's not have any more kids after this."During her first pregnancy with Mason, Damon hadn't been around, so he hadn't realized how difficult it was for her.Now, experiencing this pregnancy with her, every checkup and blood draw made his heart ache.Once Nyla gave birth, he planned to get a vasectomy. Two kids were enough for them.Nyla shot him a look. "This wasn't exactly planned, was

More than half an hour later, Nyla finally stirred from her nap.When she opened her eyes, she found Damon sitting by her bed, watching her. She froze for a moment, caught off guard.Rubbing her eyes, she realized he was still there and confirmed she wasn't dreaming.She slowly sat up, her voice still heavy with sleep. "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in your study working?""I missed you, so I came to see you," Damon replied.Nyla narrowed her eyes. "You definitely have something to say if you're here all of a sudden."Damon chuckled, a little helpless. "I guess I can't fool you.""Of course not. I know you too well. Ever since I got pregnant, you've never come to see me like this in the afternoon," Nyla said."Alright. Go freshen up first, and I'll wait for you downstairs," Damon suggested."Okay," Nyla replied.After washing up, she went downstairs and sat beside Damon. "Alright, tell me. What's going on? You're acting all mysterious."Damon hesitated for a moment befo
