As they walked into the living room, Damon broke the silence. "Why did you accept the money instead of insisting on a public apology?"Nyla replied, "Even if she apologized, it wouldn't be sincere. Clark managed to persuade her to apologize privately because he doesn't want this to go public. If I had kept insisting, it would have only backfired."Damon studied her. "So, your goal was always just the money?"Nyla nodded. "Yes. If I had asked for the money myself, Clark might have accused me of extortion through his lawyers."Damon fell silent, his gaze distant as he pondered this. When he didn't speak again, Nyla turned to head back to her room.After a few steps, Damon's voice, tinged with resignation, came from behind her. "Nyla, if you just wanted the money, you didn't have to scheme like that. You could have told me directly. I could have helped you."Nyla paused and looked back at him, her eyes filled with an unreadable emotion. "I'm scheming against Clark. He's your family.

Nyla looked down and said slowly, "It's nothing. I just wanted to check on how things are going since you didn't come back last night."There was a brief pause on the other end before Damon's deep voice came through. "I'm almost done with everything. I'll be back tonight."Nyla subconsciously tightened her grip on the phone. "Alright, then let's have dinner together tonight.""Okay, I'll see you then," Damon replied.…After ending the call, Damon looked at the woman sitting across from him with tears in her eyes. He said coldly, "Rebecca, it's over between us. I'll book a flight for you shortly."Rebecca paused in wiping her tears and looked up at Damon. "I don't want to leave! I wasn't planning to leave when I came back to the country."Damon's frown deepened, and his entire demeanor turned cold. "Do as you wish, but we're done.""If you didn't care about me, you wouldn't have come to see me last night. You still love me, don't you?" Rebecca asked, her eyes filled with love a

Between adults, the meaning of such a statement was often implied.Damon was indifferent. "It's too late to go up now. Get some rest."Rebecca was a bit disappointed but forced a smile. "Alright. Be safe going back."…When Damon returned to the villa, it was already past 10:00 p.m.After changing his shoes and entering the living room, the maid approached him."Mr. Sumner, Ms. Jayston waited a long time for you to return for dinner. In the end, she went upstairs without eating," she reported."Okay, I understand. You can go rest," Damon replied."Alright," the maid said and left.Damon rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen to prepare a plate of sandwiches, which he took upstairs.When Nyla heard the knock on the door, she assumed it was the maid and got up to answer it.Seeing the tall, familiar figure at the door, she was momentarily stunned and almost shut the door.Damon used his foot to block the door, looking apologetic. "Nyla, I'm sorry I came back so late."

"Mr. Sumner, what brings you here?" Nyla asked.Seeing Nyla's composed demeanor, Richard frowned, his tone condescending. "Name your price, as long as you agree to let Cyrus go."Nyla remained calm. "And how much are you offering?""That depends on your demand. The incident happened so many years ago. Even if you send Cyrus to prison, I can still find a way to get him out. Stubbornness won't benefit you," Richard stated.Nyla stood up, her tone flat. "Since you've put it that way, there's no point in continuing this conversation."Richard's expression turned icy. "What do you mean by that?""I mean, I don't think we can come to an agreement. I have work to do, so I'll take my leave now." With that, Nyla turned and walked out.Watching her leave, Richard felt his frustration reaching a boiling point. If she wouldn't accept his offer, he wouldn't hold back any longer.He called one of his subordinates, gritting his teeth. "Investigate Harris Pharmaceuticals. I refuse to believe H

Damon approached them with a smile, but Nyla could sense his bad mood.Gabriel followed her gaze and noticed Damon, his eyes narrowing slightly as he perceived the hostility.Damon walked directly to Nyla and sat down beside her. With a smile, he said, "Nyla, I didn't know you were having dinner with your brother. I would've joined you if I had known."Gabriel looked at Nyla, his expression questioning. "This is?"Feeling the weight of both men's gazes, Nyla frowned.Just as she was about to introduce them, Damon interjected with a smile, "Mr. Hackett, it's nice to meet you. I'm Damon Sumner, Nyla's boyfriend and the CEO of Prospectus Technology."Gabriel's eyes flickered as he shook hands with Damon. "Hello, I'm Gabriel Hackett."In that brief exchange, only the two men understood the underlying tension.Nyla asked Damon, "What are you doing here?"Damon released Gabriel's hand and turned to her. "What's wrong? Can't I join you? It seems like you didn't want me here."Nyla r
