"Impossible! I won't apologize to her!" Lucia growled.Valarie smirked as she observed Lucia, who was visibly agitated, brimming with resistance and anger."Ms. Pollard, if you refuse to apologize, we'll see you in court. If I'm not mistaken, spreading false rumors can lead to a prison sentence if the post receives more than 5,000 shares, correct?" Valarie said.Lucia's previously arrogant demeanor was suddenly dampened as if doused with a bucket of cold water. Her face turned pale at the thought of imprisonment and the potential ruination of her life.Clement's face darkened but quickly resumed its previous gentle expression."Lucia, just apologize to Nyla. As the older person, you should be the bigger person," he advised.Valarie frowned at Clement's words, sensing an implication that they were being unreasonable today.Before she could respond, Nyla spoke up. "Mr. Pollard, it's not about her age or any obligation to give in. It's about her wrongdoing and the need for her to a

Seeing the clear displeasure in Clark's eyes, Spencer spoke up. "Mr. Clark, Ms. Jayston is going on a business trip with Mr. Damon. I'm here to help her with her luggage."As he reached out to take Nyla's suitcase, a hand blocked his way."If I remember correctly, she works for Park Pharmaceuticals. Why should she go on a trip with my uncle?" Clark questioned.The thought of Nyla spending time with Damon made Clark's eyes flash with anger. As a man, he knew that Damon's gaze on Nyla wasn't purely familial."Prospectus Technology's evaluation team is out of town, and the factory Mr. Damon is inspecting produces the exact ingredients Ms. Jayston needs for her research. So, she's been arranged to accompany him," Spencer explained.Clark sneered. "If my uncle needs someone, I can pull a few people from the Sumner Group."Nyla frowned. "Clark, this is my job. Can you not cause trouble?"Seeing her cold expression, Clark felt his heart sink. Did she not realize Damon had other intenti

Nyla's eyes flashed with annoyance when she saw Clark's name on the caller ID, and she hung up immediately. He called several more times but finally gave up when she didn't answer.On the other end, Clark threw his phone on the floor in anger, his expression dark and menacing. "Michael, send someone to Rontana to keep an eye on things. I want to know immediately if anything goes wrong."He didn't want to be kept in the dark if he was being cheated on.Michael thought about advising against it but didn't dare after seeing Clark's gloomy face. "Alright, I'll handle it."After Michael left, Clark stared at the documents on his desk, his brows knitted in frustration.He couldn't focus on a single word. The thought of Nyla potentially spending time alone with Damon made him feel like a swarm of ants was crawling all over his heart.However, given his current position, he couldn't afford to go against Damon.A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts. The office door opened, reveali

It seemed there might be some issues with Skyray Medical's goods.Nyla lowered her gaze, thought for a few seconds, and then said, "Okay, I'm in Room 802. Ms. Quinn, you can come directly."Soon, Zoe arrived. Nyla opened the door and stepped aside to let her in.After they sat down, Zoe handed her a bag with a smile. "Ms. Jayston, this is your scarf. Please check if everything is in order."The moment Nyla took the bag, she knew it weighed more than just a scarf. She picked up the scarf and saw several stacks of cash underneath, roughly estimating around 30,000 dollars. Nyla put the scarf back and pushed the bag toward Zoe. "Ms. Quinn, this scarf is too valuable. I can't accept it."Zoe's smile didn't waver, her voice gentle. "Ms. Jayston, it's not valuable at all. We might have many more opportunities to meet in the future."Nyla pressed her lips together, her expression calm as she looked at Zoe. "Ms. Quinn, what do you want me to do?""Ms. Jayston, you're an evaluation spec

Nyla was dazed for a few seconds before she felt an indescribable warmth well up inside her.After getting up, washing up, taking her medicine, and eating her chicken soup, she decided to thank Damon properly. After all, she had been holding onto his hand all night, and he probably hadn't had a good rest.When she reached the door of the room next door, it opened from the inside just as she reached out to knock.Damon, with slightly damp hair and dressed in a fresh outfit, seemed to have just taken a shower."Mr. Sumner, I came to thank you for last night. I appreciate it," Nyla said.Seeing Nyla's eyes lowered, her hands awkwardly clasped in front of her, Damon thought she seemed a bit uncomfortable and nervous around him.Upon realizing this, his mood unexpectedly soured. He pressed his thin lips together."There's no need for thanks. Just make sure to speak up if you're feeling unwell next time. Don't make things difficult for others," he said.His indifferent tone made Nyla
