Upon hearing that, Damon set the file in his hand down and said, "The purpose of Starlite's project is likely to bring down the Wilkie Group."Unfortunately, neither Jane nor Pedro had caught on. They were walking straight into the trap.Not that Damon cared. Whether the Wilkie Group sank or swam meant nothing to him."I recall that Starlite is a subsidiary of Nyce Tech. Look into who's really behind Nyce Tech," Damon instructed.A project this massive wouldn't happen without someone from Nyce Tech's higher-ups signing off. The general manager of Starlite Enterprise wouldn't dare act alone, no matter how bold they were."Mr. Sumner, the owner behind Nyce Tech has never shown their face publicly. Finding out who it is might take some time," Spencer replied.Damon raised an eyebrow. "Isn't Falcon idle right now?"After Falcon's investigation into Drake in Meristate had been exposed, the entire team had been recalled locally and were currently on leave.If Falcon found out their b

Chapter 962

Sullivan wrote that if Ruby chose to stay and build her career in Saintornia, the apartment could provide her with a sense of security.If she decided to leave, she could sell it and use the money to start fresh elsewhere. Whatever choice she made, he would support her.Ruby knew most of the money Sullivan had used to buy the apartment had been misappropriated from Prospectus Technology's pharmaceutical research fund.Somehow, he had managed to keep his accounts clean and avoid suspicion from the authorities. On paper, the apartment had no connection to him and hadn't been seized by the police.With his salary, however, it would have been impossible for him to afford an apartment in downtown Saintornia outright.At first, Ruby intended to sell the apartment and use the proceeds to repay the misappropriated funds. After a sleepless night, though, she began to hesitate.An apartment in downtown Saintornia was worth millions. Selling it could provide her with the means to leave the

The police were thorough, not leaving until they had escorted Ruby to a hotel and ensured her safety.Once inside the room, Ruby felt a fleeting sense of security after locking the door and drawing the curtains. She sat at the edge of the bed, still visibly shaken, her face pale from the ordeal.After sitting in silence for a while, she went into the bathroom to shower.As the warm water streamed over her, she made up her mind—she was going to sell the apartment.She knew it was selfish but also knew that this was the only way to break free from her oppressive family.The next morning…Ruby contacted a realtor and listed the apartment for sale.The property, located in the heart of the city, quickly attracted interest.Within three days, it sold for 1,800,000 dollars.When the money hit her account, Ruby stared at the large sum in disbelief. Her emotions were a turbulent mix of relief and unease. This was more money than she could ever hope to make in a lifetime as a pharmaceu

Nyla's frown intensified as she asked, "Ruby, do you have any idea how much you've sacrificed to get to where you are? Are you really willing to throw all of that away?"She had witnessed Ruby's journey firsthand and struggled to accept that her friend was making such a hasty decision.Ruby's tone was sharp. "I don't need you to remind me of what I've been through. I know what I want, and I've made my decision."She didn't want to hear another lecture.To Ruby, Nyla was an outsider who could never truly understand the despair and struggles she had endured. Her toxic family was a suffocating swamp—the more she fought to escape, the deeper she sank.Ruby had reached her limit. She no longer wanted that life. Nyla's words couldn't pull her out, nor could anyone else's reasoning. She had made up her mind.To her, leaving the country and vanishing beyond her family’s reach was the only way forward.Seeing that her words had no effect, Nyla paused, her voice turning cold as she spoke

Sullivan's expression, initially stoic, suddenly changed. His eyes widened in disbelief as he asked, "What did you just say?"Ruby couldn't have that much money unless she had sold the apartment he had given her. The realization hit him hard, and his face darkened.He had given her that apartment to help her escape her toxic family—not so she could sell it to bail him out."Mr. Vernon, I want to see her. Please, let her know," Sullivan requested.Seeing Sullivan's anxiety, Paul hesitated momentarily before asking, "Mr. Heseltine, is there an issue with this money?"Sullivan's expression stiffened.After a long pause, he replied, "No... I just need to see her. I can't accept this money."Paul gave him a long, scrutinizing look but refrained from pressing further. He nodded and left the detention center.As he stepped out of the police station, his assistant called."The money Ruby provided does indeed come from the sale of her apartment. The property, located in the city center

Realizing further questioning was futile, Paul left.After his departure, Ruby resumed packing her belongings. Just as she finished folding her clothes, the doorbell rang.She opened the door to find Leon standing there. Surprise flickered in her eyes before her expression turned indifferent."If you've come to convince me to stay, don't bother. I'm not going back," she said."I'm not here to convince you," Leon replied. "I just want to know why you're resigning. Back in Capitarnia, you promised to work hard and help Nyla complete this project."Ruby frowned. "There's no particular reason. I just think pursuing further studies is more important than this project.""Further studies?" Leon looked at her in disbelief. "You told me before you had no money and needed to work to support yourself."Ruby leaned against the doorframe, her hand tightening slightly. Her tone grew frosty as she retorted, "That's my business. It has nothing to do with you."Her dismissive attitude angered L

After a brief hesitation, Nyla decided to share her suspicions with Damon.Listening intently, Damon frowned and spoke in a low voice. "I understand. I'll have Spencer look into it.""Okay." Nyla sighed, hoping that Ruby had nothing to do with the matter.After dinner, Damon retreated to his study. As soon as he picked up a file, his phone rang."Mr. Sumner, we've received news from Falcon. The real owner behind Nyce Tech... You know him," Spencer reported.Damon's expression remained unchanged as he asked, "Is it Gabriel?""Yes…" Spencer replied."I see. Keep a close watch on Starlite. Gabriel's goal is likely to take over the Wilkie Group," Damon instructed."Understood. Should we inform Mr. Wilkie about this?" Spencer asked.If Nyce Tech acquired the Wilkie Group, it would pose a significant threat to Prospectus Technology."No need for now. Let's see what his next move is. In the meantime, investigate where Sullivan funneled the embezzled funds," Damon said."Sullivan?"

Ruby's breath hitched, and she instinctively denied it. "I don't know what you're talking about!""Ms. Jenner, I'll be at the same café where we met last time, at 2:00 p.m. If you don't show up, I'll have no choice but to submit the evidence to the authorities," Paul said, then hung up without waiting for her response.Clutching her phone, Ruby froze in fear.If she went to meet Paul, she risked losing the money and facing legal action from Prospectus Technology.No... she couldn't let that happen. She had to leave immediately.Steeling herself, she called Paul back. "Mr. Vernon, I'm not free at 2:00 p.m. Can we make it 4:00 p.m. instead?""Sure," Paul replied without hesitation.After hanging up, Ruby quickly grabbed her suitcase and left. She gave her cat to a neighbor, not wanting anything to slow her down.She booked the earliest available flight and headed straight for the airport.…Damon and Nyla were having lunch in his office when Spencer entered hurriedly."Mr. Sum

After being taken to the police station, Ruby knew she couldn't keep hiding the truth, so she confessed everything.She had already anticipated this outcome when making her choices.It seemed her luck had never been good.Born into a family that valued sons over daughters, she had worked hard to get into university and join a lab.Her family, desperate to repay her brother's gambling debts, tried to force her into marrying an old widower from her village.If it hadn't been for Sullivan saving her on several occasions, she might have already ended up living that life.Selling the apartment Sullivan left her was supposed to be her way out—a chance to start fresh in a place where no one knew her.But life, as always, had other plans.Ruby knew she had been selfish and greedy. Still, if her family hadn't pushed her to the brink, she might never have gone down this path.After finishing her confession, she told the officer, "I'd like to see someone."…When Nyla was informed that

Chapter 970

As Valarie reflected on their relationship, she became more and more irritated, recalling how she had always been the one putting in the effort.Not only had Tom never given her anything, but he had also shamelessly flirted with other women. How could she have been so blind five years ago to fall for someone like him?"The most important thing is not letting him interfere with your relationship with Brandon," Nyla reminded her.Although Valarie hadn't said as much, Nyla could tell she was serious about Brandon. It was clear she was already thinking about marriage.In Nyla's opinion, while Brandon was young and still maturing, his love for Valarie was genuine—and that was enough."Don't worry. I've been throwing everything Tom sends straight into the trash without telling Brandon," Valarie replied.Nyla paused, then advised, "You might want to mention it to Brandon, just to avoid misunderstandings down the line."Valarie was about to respond when she noticed Brandon approaching.
