Gabriel's expressionless face softened into a smile as Jane held his hand and led him to the dining room.After dinner, she eagerly asked him about the solution he had in mind. He gestured for her to follow him to the study.Once inside, Jane was about to press Gabriel further when he pulled a document from the drawer and handed it to her."Take a look at this first," he said.Jane took the document with a confused expression, frowning as she read the title: Golden Waters Resort Project Proposal.The Golden Waters Resort was Starlite Enterprise's largest project of the year.Starlite Enterprise, a subsidiary of Nyce Tech, had emerged in the Saintornia market about five years ago and quickly became one of Prospectus Technology's main competitors in tech manufacturing and innovation.Currently, the two companies were essentially equals.Although Starlite Enterprise had been founded just last year, it had already launched several hotel chains in major cities, achieved profitabilit

"Just this call is proof!" Theo snapped.Gabriel's smile deepened. He murmured something low, causing Theo to fall silent immediately."I don't appreciate dealing with fools. But since you're Jane's cousin, I'll let it go this time. If there's a next time..." Gabriel warned.He didn't finish before Theo quickly replied, "Gabriel, don't worry. That recording was all my doing—nothing to do with you. I just lost my head for a moment, so don't take it personally."He added, "If that's all, Gabriel, I'll be hanging up now. I've got a few things I need to do."Without waiting for Gabriel's response, Theo hastily ended the call.Gabriel set his phone down and looked out the window into the dark night, his eyes soft with thought. Soon, he'd finally be able to be with Nyla.At Damon's villa…Nyla was playing with Mason in the living room when she sneezed.Damon and Mason both turned to her, their faces full of concern."Mommy, are you okay?" Mason asked."Are you coming down with som

The reason the Updikes had called the police was that Valarie had seriously injured Zayn, and he was now in the emergency room, fighting for his life.Hearing this, Nyla felt a surge of anger. Someone like Zayn deserved it. She glanced at Brandon, who was lost in thought, and said softly, "Got it.""Thank you, Aunt Nyla," Brandon replied.Nyla walked to the hospital room door and knocked gently. "Valarie, it's me. May I come in?"There was no response. Just as she was about to ask again, a faint voice replied, "Come in."With a sigh of relief, Nyla pushed open the door.Inside the room, all the lights were on.Valarie sat huddled on the hospital bed. Her small, frail figure was bathed in the harsh light, making her look even more lonely and lifeless.Nyla's heart clenched as she slowly approached the bed and took a seat.Valarie was hugging her knees, staring blankly into a corner of the room, lost in thought.Gently, Nyla reached out and patted her on the back. "Valarie, it'

Brandon's gaze deepened as he stepped into the hospital room, shutting the door behind him and settling onto the couch.Valarie adjusted her blanket, then looked up, only to catch him staring intently at her. The gaze made her bite her lip unconsciously."There's no extra blanket," she murmured. "If you're really tired, maybe you should just go home. I'm fine on my own now."After Nyla's visit, she did feel much calmer."It's alright. You go to sleep. I'll stay here," Brandon replied.Valarie glanced at him for a moment before quickly looking away. "Alright. I'll try to sleep then...""Okay," Brandon answered.Valarie pulled the blanket up, hiding beneath it, yet sleep wouldn't come.The room was quiet, but she couldn't stop thinking about Brandon sitting just across from her on the couch. Her heart pounded, and her hands clenched the blanket, as a faint sheen of sweat dampened her palms."Can't sleep?" Brandon's gentle voice broke the silence from the couch.Valarie hesitate

Valarie took a lighthearted approach, saying, "Dad, it's not your fault. Besides, Mr. Sumner is already helping our company. I believe we'll get through this."Brandon handed Jonathan a glass of water and added, "She's right, Mr. Weir. Here, drink some water."It was only then that Jonathan remembered Brandon was in the room. He glanced at Brandon and took the glass with a poker face.After seeing Brandon holding Valarie just moments earlier, he found him less likable now, despite having praised him as a young, promising businessman to Phoebe.Brandon then handed Phoebe a glass of water, which she accepted with a smile. "Thank you, Mr. Brandon.""Please, Mrs. Weir, just call me Brandon," he said.Phoebe, surprised by his casual tone, nodded. "Brandon, you and Valarie…""I'm Valarie's boyfriend now," Brandon replied straightforwardly.Jonathan choked on his water and coughed heavily.Brandon quickly took the glass from him, patting him on the back. "Mr. Weir, are you alright?"
