Fred's expression stiffened. He quickly said, "Mr. Sumner, this was entirely Mr. Raynor's decision. By the time I found out, it was too late. Otherwise, I would have stopped him. "Moreover, the Raynor Group has suffered significant losses this time, and many shareholders are secretly trying to remove Mr. Raynor from the CEO position."Damon remained expressionless, seemingly uninterested. "That doesn't concern me."Fred carefully observed Damon's face, hoping to glean something from his expression, but found nothing. The rumors about Damon being cunning seemed accurate—dealing with him required caution.Realizing he needed to take a risk, Fred steeled himself and said, "Mr. Sumner, I know you have grievances with Mr. Raynor. I can help you deal with him."Damon chuckled, but his eyes were devoid of warmth. "Help me?"Fred's face turned a shade paler, but thinking of his objective, he pressed, "It could be mutually beneficial. I want the CEO position at the Raynor Group."Damon

With that thought in mind, Erin looked at Aubrey Jane with growing eagerness. "Ms. Keith, are you here shopping?"Aubrey Jane smiled, but her gaze was noticeably distant. "No, I'm here to meet a friend. Ms. Hulle, if there's nothing else, I have a meeting soon. Let's chat another time."Seeing her about to leave, Erin quickly spoke up. "Ms. Keith, I heard that the Keithstone Group has a resort project, and the partnership hasn't been finalized yet—"Aubrey Jane interrupted her with a polite smile, "Ms. Hulle, we just confirmed our partner for the project. I'm sorry. We'll work with the Hulle Group if there's a chance next time."Erin stood frozen for a few seconds, trying to process what she had just heard. "Ms. Keith, may I ask which company you're partnering with?"A flash of displeasure crossed Aubrey Jane's expression. "I'm afraid that information is not convenient to share right now, Ms. Hulle. Goodbye."Once Aubrey Jane disappeared from view, Erin quickly realized she neede

Oliver's gaze darkened as he replied, "Got it. I'll head over right now."The expressions of the shareholders turned grim. It was clear that these business partners were here to discuss terminating contracts."Mr. Raynor, if you can't persuade the partners to change their minds, you should resign today, or I'll contact your father to see if it's time for him to consider replacing you with someone more suitable!" one of the shareholders threatened.Oliver's gaze turned icy as he glared at the shareholder who had spoken.The man was momentarily intimidated, his face paling slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and retorted, "Mr. Raynor, looking at me like that won't help! I'm doing this for the good of the company!""Honestly, I've always known these rich heirs don't know how to do business. Letting them take over the company would be a disaster!""Right? We're only here because we don't hold as many shares as he does.""If this keeps up, I might consider selling my shar

Oliver frowned. "Dad, let me explain. I—""Shut up!" Hugh snapped, cutting him off. "I'm here to clean up the mess you made. Since you clearly lack the ability to manage the Raynor Group, it's better to let someone more competent take over than to watch you destroy the company."Oliver stared at his father in disbelief, unable to process what he was hearing."I've worked hard for the company these past few years, and you're kicking me out over one mistake?" he asked, his voice heavy with frustration.A flicker of emotion crossed Hugh's face before he turned away, his expression hardening."If this were just a simple investment failure, I wouldn't be so severe. But the fact that you caused such heavy losses over a woman is something I absolutely cannot tolerate!" Hugh said.The room fell into an uneasy silence. The shareholders, stunned by the intensity of the confrontation, held their breath. Most had only suggested Oliver resign in the heat of frustration, hoping to give him a

As soon as Gerrard finished speaking, he felt the temperature in the room drop several degrees.Damon's expression had darkened noticeably.Still, Gerrard asked, "You really don't remember anything? Nyla was your nephew's wife. Even if you don't remember her name, surely her face should have left an impression."Nyla was beautiful—the kind of beauty that was hard to forget. Although Gerrard had only met her once, her image remained vivid in his mind.Damon's face grew colder as he tried to recall the name and face of Clark's ex-wife. Yet, his mind was blank.In his memory, Clark had brought his wife to family gatherings after their marriage, but right now, he couldn't recall a single detail about the woman. Even the events of Clark's marriage and divorce felt hazy.Damon had never been close to Clark.After Damon's car accident, Richard had sent Clark abroad for some mistake, and Damon had stopped paying attention to him. He had only learned about Clark's divorce much later. Sin
