The bodyguards hesitated before quickly leaving.
Gabriel turned back to Damon with a grin. "Now can we talk?"
Damon walked into his office without a word, and Gabriel followed.
Sitting behind his desk, Damon glared at him coldly. "What do you want to discuss?"
Gabriel smiled. "Mr. Sumner, with Prospectus Technology on the brink of bankruptcy, it's pointless to keep spending money fighting Nyce Tech in court. How about I give you some money, and you drop the lawsuit? What do you think?"
Damon's expression hardened. "I doubt you can afford the price I have in mind."
"I'm offering 10 billion dollars. You can take the money and start fresh. How about it?" Gabriel proposed.
He had considered the amount for a long time, clearly confident that Damon wouldn't refuse.
Silence filled the office.
After a long pause, Damon snickered. "Gabriel, you colluded with Henry to steal Prospectus Technology's core trade secrets. Now you want me to let you off the hook for 10 billion dollars? Dream on."
Gabriel raised an eyebrow. "Mr. Sumner, you're a smart man, so let's not waste time. Henry has already committed suicide to escape justice. Are you sure the evidence you have will hold up?"
Even if it did, Gabriel had ways to make it disappear.
Damon's gaze turned icy. "Is that a threat?"
Gabriel's smile widened. "Not at all. Just a friendly reminder. I'm offering you a way out. Take the 10 billion and walk away. It's your best option.
"Drag this out, and you might end up with nothing. There won't be any second chances to fix it then."
"Thanks for the advice, but I don't need it. Now get out," Damon dismissed.
Gabriel stood and straightened his suit. He looked down at Damon. "Think it over. When you're ready to make the right choice, give me a call."
With that, he left.
Once Gabriel was gone, Damon called Spencer into the office. "How much liquid cash does the company have left?"
"Less than 300,000 dollars," Spencer answered.

The readers' comments on the novel: Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)
More chapters please why stop updating...
When will the new chapters come...
Author! Why does it always so mean? Like a new character will appear and at the end of the chapter, they're all antagonist who always intend to hurt Nyla. Is there any character who will protect her with no expectation in return of any thing?...
AUTHOR!!! NOTICE THIS PLEASE!!!! I hope that Nyla's heart can be softened with Damon alone like clear things up and make some intimate time with each other. And of course Damon talking to Rebecca will make Nyla go back to her status again. Just a short calmness and joy for Nyla and Damon....
