Nyla avoided Damon's gaze, pondering how to respond.After several seconds, Damon's deep voice broke the silence. "Still haven't figured out what to say? Then I might just—""Wait!" Nyla quickly raised her head, placing a hand over his mouth as she met his stare. "No matter what I say, you're just going to say it isn't good enough and keep doing what you were doing, right?"In her clear eyes, Damon saw his own reflection, feeling as if he were the only person in her world.His gaze suddenly turned intense and locked onto hers with a predatory focus, leaving no room for escape.Heat rose in Nyla's cheeks under his piercing stare. She bit her lip and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?!"Did he realize how intimidating that look was? It felt as if he wanted to devour her whole.Damon remained silent, the tension between them thickening.Nyla felt her hand, which rested against his chest, weaken. Should she just beg for mercy to get him to let her go?Just as she was con

Rebecca's heart settled a bit as she quickly took out her phone to message Sullivan.Back in his study, Nathaniel's expression was as dark as ever. Having spent over five years under the same roof as Rebecca, he was certain she was hiding something from him. Otherwise, she wouldn't have looked so distressed earlier.He immediately contacted his secretary, instructing him to investigate what had happened during Rebecca's time abroad.The secretary hesitated. "Mr. Preston, the company has only 400,000 dollars in available funds. Investigating what happened with Mrs. Preston overseas several years ago could be quite expensive…"Besides, he thought, every penny was crucial for the company right now. Spending it to look into Rebecca felt like a waste.Nathaniel's expression turned icy as he instructed, "Use my personal account for this investigation. We must uncover the truth, no matter what!"He understood Damon's temperament. If he couldn't present useful information next time, Damo

Damon's profile was cold when he answered, "Let's see what Jane wants to discuss before we decide.""Okay," Nyla replied.…Jane had just finished getting ready to leave when a maid from the Wilkie residence hurried over."Ms. Wilkie, Mr. Pedro wants to see you," the maid informed her.Jane frowned. "Did Grandpa say what it was about?"The maid shook her head. "No, he didn't.""Alright, I understand. You can go back now," Jane replied.After the maid left, Jane changed her shoes and turned to Gabriel, who was still having breakfast. "Gabriel, take Wil to school later. Grandpa called me over, and I don't want to delay."Gabriel replied gently, "Sure."Once Jane left, Wilhelm threw down his spoon in indignation. "Daddy, I don't want to go to school. I don't want to see Mason!"Gabriel looked at him and asked, "But you promised Mommy and me last night that you'd be good."After Gabriel returned home the previous night, Jane had told him about her plan to use Wilhelm's injury t

Jane stared at him coldly. "Are you saying my son is lying?""Perhaps you should take a look at this first," Damon suggested.He pulled up a video he had received that morning and showed it to Jane. At first, she didn't understand, but three minutes later, her face turned ashen.Wasn't the classroom surveillance camera broken? How had Damon gotten it?Her complexion shifted rapidly, turning from pale to flushed in disbelief. She murmured, "No… this can't be happening…"If Wilhelm had truly fallen on his own, she would not only have gained nothing from Damon, but she also would have further angered him.Damon's expression remained indifferent. "If you don't believe me, I can have the video verified. You can also choose to call the police since you mentioned that yesterday."Jane shook her head repeatedly. "No… it can't be… This isn't happening…"Damon no longer looked at her. He stood up and said coldly, "I have work to do, so I won't see you out."…As Jane left Prospectus Te

"First, let's go downstairs for dinner. After we eat, I'll tell you," Gabriel said.Jane scowled. "Gabriel, I'm not in the mood for jokes!"Gabriel looked at her with a gentle gaze. "Jane, how could I joke about something like this? Come on, let's eat. You can't neglect your health, no matter what."Upon meeting his tender gaze, Jane's anger subsided a little, but she still maintained a stern expression. "You have to promise you're not lying to me.""Okay, I promise. Can we go eat now? Wil knows you're upset and hasn't had dinner yet. He's been waiting for you," Gabriel replied.Jane bit her lip. Upon recalling how she had hit Wilhelm earlier, a flicker of guilt crossed her eyes. In the heat of the moment, she had lost her temper, but now that she was calmer, she regretted it.Gabriel felt her forehead. "Your temperature is normal, but why do you look so pale?"Jane shook her head, avoiding his gaze. "I'm fine. Let's go down."They descended the stairs one after the other and s
