As soon as Valarie finished speaking, Tom grabbed her chin and lowered his head abruptly. The sudden closeness brought him so near that he could smell the faint scent of roses on her.He swallowed hard, his breath quickening noticeably.Valarie's face, however, remained expressionless as she looked at him, her gaze steady and indifferent, as if she were staring at a stranger passing by.Once, her eyes had been filled with warmth and affection for him. She had always been there whenever he looked back.Now, he could find no trace of the love she once had for him in her eyes.A sharp pang spread from Tom's chest, filling his whole body. His hand, still holding her chin, trembled slightly. If only he had realized his feelings sooner, he wouldn't have lost her."Tom, don't look at me with that guilty expression. I only find it pathetic," Valarie spat.If he had broken things off cleanly rather than wavering between her and someone else, she wouldn't despise him as much as she did no

Brandon took a deep breath and explained, "Valarie, that's not what I think. I was just worried about you.""What's there to worry about? Worried I'd fall for him again?" Valarie retorted.The coldness in her gaze made Brandon clench his fists, his expression darkening. "Valarie, is it really necessary to be so sarcastic? You know how much Tom bothers me, yet you didn't tell me you were coming to see him."What if I had met with an ex-girlfriend behind your back without saying anything? Would you be completely unfazed?""Why wouldn't I be? I chose to be with you, so I'd trust you. But you obviously don't feel the same about me," Valarie countered.For any relationship to last, there had to be mutual trust. If Brandon kept being this suspicious and paranoid, it would just wear down their feelings for each other."I told you I don't doubt you. If you'd told me beforehand, I wouldn't have shown up here. Don't you understand my point?" Brandon's gaze on Valarie was disappointed. "You

Valarie thought for a moment and felt a headache."Forget it," she said. "I don't want to think about this right now."After chatting with Nyla a bit longer, she got up to leave.Once she was gone, Nyla headed to the study.Inside, Damon was reading through some documents.Hearing her enter, he looked up and asked, "Valarie already left?""Mm," Nyla hummed.Seeing the slight furrow in Nyla's brows, Damon put down his papers. "What's on your mind?""She and Brandon had a fight," Nyla said. "I think now that Tom is back, there are going to be some serious problems."Although Nyla was sure Valarie no longer had feelings for Tom, his constant interference in her life was like a thorn in Brandon's heart, pricking him just enough to chip away at their relationship.Damon's expression darkened. He wasn't particularly interested in the tension between Valarie and Brandon, but he had noticed that Tom had been in contact with Drake while overseas.Now that Tom was back in the country,

Seeing Damon look weary, Nyla pursed her lips before asking, "Want me to give you a massage?"Damon shook his head. "No need. I'm good now.""Alright," Nyla replied.Damon spent another hour working on his documents before they both headed to bed.After their showers, he offered to dry Nyla's hair."Aren't you tired? I can do it myself," she said."I'll do it," he insisted, taking the hairdryer from her with such determination that she had to let him."Fine," she relented.Turning her back to him, she let the warmth of the dryer lull her into relaxation, nearly dozing off by the time he finished.Setting the dryer aside, he told her, "You go ahead and sleep. I just remembered I have one more document to sign, and then I'll be up."Nyla, thinking nothing of it, nodded. "Okay."Once out of the room, Damon glanced at the few strands of her hair he held in his hand, his expression unreadable.In under ten minutes, he returned, slipping into bed quietly.However, his mind kept

Wren didn't seem upset by the cold reception. She maintained a smile and said, "You and your dad are finally getting along again. I don't want to disturb you. I'm staying in Shoal Bay on the north side of the city now. Come by if you have time."Nyla stayed silent, her demeanor unmistakably cold.Only as Wren brushed past did Nyla give her a low warning. "I'm setting up a camera at the door. If I catch you bothering my dad again, I'll call the police."Wren paused for a moment but left quickly without a word.Nyla knocked on the door. "Dad, you can open the door now. She's gone."The door swung open immediately.Upon seeing Nyla and Damon, Harrison's previously tense face relaxed into a smile. "Nyla, Mr. Sumner, you're here! Come on in."As they entered the living room, the smell of food wafted from the kitchen, where the housekeeper was likely cooking.Harrison chuckled. "I didn't expect you to come over. I'll ask the housekeeper to make a couple more dishes.""I'll handle it

Harrison nodded. "Alright. You and Nyla don't need to worry about me. Wren and I are divorced. There's nothing she can do.""Alright. One more thing—do you have any family abroad?" Damon asked.Harrison looked momentarily stunned, then, after a pause, shook his head. "No, I don't think so. Why do you ask?""Just curious," Damon replied. "And Nyla's mother's side?"Harrison grew quiet at the mention of Emerald.After a long pause, he finally said, "Emerald was an orphan. I tried helping her search for her family in the past, but we didn't find anything.""How did you two meet?" Damon asked.Recalling the memory, Harrison smiled. "We met on a rainy day. I was on my way home from work when a downpour started, so I ducked under an awning for shelter. She happened to come by too. I fell in love with her the moment I saw her.""We got married, and she stayed home after that to manage the house while I went into business."His face held nothing but warmth and nostalgia as he recounte

Damon was rendered speechless.Mason didn't care. He walked right past Damon and ran straight to Harrison, stopping in front of him. "Hi, Grandpa!"Seeing his adorable grandson, Harrison couldn't stop smiling. "Hello, Buddy! Are you hungry? Let's wash our hands and have dinner, okay?"Mason nodded obediently. "Okay, Grandpa!"Nyla led Mason to wash his hands. When they returned to the dining table, Damon had already served their meals.Mason climbed into his chair. Instead of eating, he looked expectantly at Harrison.Harrison was puzzled. "Buddy, why aren't you eating? Don't you like the food?"Mason shook his head. "No, Grandpa. You eat first."Harrison immediately understood. Mason was waiting for him to start.Smiling, Harrison picked up some food. "Alright, let's all eat now.""Okay!" Mason happily grabbed a meatball. He had always loved meatballs—he could never get enough.After eating a few, he reached for more, but Nyla stopped him. "No more meatballs, or it might no

Nyla nodded and turned to Damon. "Looks like you have work to take care of. I'll go put Buddy to bed.""Alright," Damon said, then turned to Spencer. "Let's talk in the study."Once inside, with the door closed, Damon handed Spencer two hair samples."Take these in for testing. I need the results within a day," he instructed.Spencer carefully took the samples. "Understood, Mr. Sumner.""How's the investigation on Drake coming along?" Damon asked.Spencer's expression grew tense.Lowering his voice, he said, "Drake knows someone's looking into him, and Falcon was almost caught. They've stepped back for now."Damon's gaze hardened. "Got it. Tell them to lay low and stay out of sight for a while.""Alright. But they did manage to find out that this 'Amy' is somehow connected to the Nixons," Spencer added."That fits with what I suspected. The Nixons have deep roots in Meristate, and any investigation will be risky. Keep tabs on Tom—let me know if he makes any moves," Damon repl

Hearing Damon's words, Nyla finally relaxed. "Alright."Meanwhile, Brandon's expression remained cold as he hung up, stood, and walked out the door.He arrived at the bar 20 minutes later.Valarie was seated at the bar, downing drink after drink.A few men eyed her, but none made a move.Brandon approached her, snatched the glass from her hand, and said softly, "I'm taking you home."Already drunk, Valarie looked up and burst into laughter when she saw him. "How can you be here too? This is so funny!"Upon seeing that she didn't even recognize him, Brandon's expression darkened. He grabbed her wrist and started pulling her toward the door.Drunk and slow to react, Valarie nearly stumbled as he yanked her along.Just then, another hand grabbed her other wrist.Brandon stopped and turned around.Standing behind them was Tom, holding onto Valarie's other hand.Brandon's expression turned icy, a chill seeming to settle over him."Let go of her!" he barked.Tom didn't seem to

Chapter 890

"I said you're an ugly freak!" Valarie shot back, her face flushed, her eyes unfocused.Tom's expression darkened. He knew he shouldn't argue with a drunk person, but hearing her call him ugly still stung.Brandon couldn't help but laugh mockingly. "Did you hear that? My girlfriend doesn't want ugly freaks touching her. Next time, stay out of her business."Tom glared at him coldly. "Brandon, you and she aren't right for each other. I suggest you let go of her before you get hurt."Brandon retorted, "I don't need you to tell me what to do. Mind your own business."Without another word, he took Valarie and left.As they walked away, Tom's eyes narrowed. It seemed like it was time to give the Sumner Group something to deal with.Outside the bar, the cold wind hit, and Valarie shivered, sobering up slightly. She turned to see Brandon still holding onto her, and her expression shifted. She immediately tried to pull away."I don't need your help," she said.Although more aware, the
