Upon seeing Nyla, Damon tightened his grip on his pen, his knuckles turning white. Coldly, he replied, “No, I don’t like greasy food.”
He refocused on the documents, his frown revealing how upset he was. It would take a fool not to recognize that Damon was angry with her.
Nyla bit her lip and took a deep breath before entering the study. As she approached, Damon looked up and snapped, “I’m working. Get out!”
His icy gaze froze her in place, and her face paled slightly.
“Mr. Sumner, are you still upset about last night?” she asked.
Damon shot her a cold look. “No. Can you leave now?”
Nyla didn’t budge, forcing herself to meet his gaze. “But… your attitude is making me anxious. Did I do something wrong?”
Damon scoffed. “Anxious? What do you have to be anxious about?”
If it weren’t for Luca’s investigation, he wouldn’t have believed that the person behind Stephen was her. He had just started to feel something for her, only to discover she was using Stephen and Prestige Corp. to scheme against him. He felt utterly deceived.
Nyla took a deep breath and said, “Mr. Sumner, even if you don’t want to tell me, you don’t have to take it out on me.”
“Do you really not know why I’m angry?” Damon asked.
Under Damon’s sharp gaze, Nyla felt a shiver run through her.
Did he know about that incident? No… She had been careful. He shouldn’t find out so quickly.
“Mr. Sumner, I really don’t know,” she answered.
“Stephen Ketchum,” Damon said, the name slipping from his lips coldly. His eyes locked onto Nyla with great intensity.
In an instant, a chill ran through Nyla, making her feel like she had fallen into an ice pit. Her face turned pale.
Seeing her reaction, Damon felt his last glimmer of hope extinguish completely.
He had truly misjudged this woman!
Reflecting on the fleeting attraction he had felt for her earlier, he found himself laughing at his foolishness.
“Why did you scheme against me behind my back?” he questioned.
Nyla’s gaze turned icy as she replied, “Why? For Buddy’s custody, of course. If Prospectus Technology doesn’t go down, I’ll never have a chance to fight you for Buddy.”
Damon laughed bitterly, nodding. “Fine! Since you’re bold enough to plot against me, be prepared to face the consequences!”
Nyla looked wary. “Damon, what are you planning to do?!”
“I won’t let you see Buddy again. Being with a woman like you, with such a malicious mindset, will only corrupt him!” Damon snapped.

Nyla’s eyes widened in disbelief as she dropped the plate she was holding. It shattered on the floor with a loud crash, shards cutting into her foot and causing blood to gush out.
Yet it was as if she felt no pain as she rushed toward Damon “You can’t do this! You know Buddy is everything to me!”
Damon’s hands clenched subconsciously when he saw the tears on Nyla’s face, a bitter feeling rising in his chest. As he remembered how two–faced she was–sweet in person yet deceitful behind his back–his heart hardened. “I gave you a chance to be with Buddy, but you didn’t cherish it!” he retorted before standing up to leave. Nyla dashed in front of him, blocking his path as she gritted her teeth. “Where do you think you’re going? I won’t let you hide Buddy away! If you dare to do that, I’ll sue you!
