Initially, Pedro believed that offering such a significant equity share would tempt Damon. To his surprise, Damon rejected the offer without hesitation.
"Mr. Wilkie, you should look for someone else. With the terms you're offering, I'm sure plenty of people would jump at the chance," Damon said, his tone firm.
Pedro was stunned, his brows knitting together in confusion. Why would Damon refuse such an advantageous offer?
He tried again. "Mr. Sumner, you're the only person I trust in Saintornia."
"But I don't have the energy to take on another company, and I won't risk putting Prospectus Technology in the same position as the Wilkie Group right now," Damon explained, his voice calm but resolute.
Pedro gritted his teeth, clearly wrestling with his decision.
Finally, he countered, "Alright then, how about this? If you're willing to help the Wilkie Group, I'll transfer 60% of my shares to you. That would make you the largest shareholder. What do you say?"
To Pedro's dismay, Damon refused again. "Even if you offered me every last share of your company, my answer wouldn't change. Please, seek help elsewhere."
With that, Damon rose from his seat and turned to leave.
"Is this because of what happened with Nyla at my birthday party'?" Pedro asked hastily. "If that's the issue, I'm willing to personally apologize to her. I'll even have Jane apologize if that's what it takes to satisfy Ms. Kinsey."
Damon paused and glanced back, his gaze meeting Pedro's. The older man looked ready to set aside all pride for the sake of his company.
"Mr. Wilkie, that incident is long behind us. My refusal to help the Wilkie Group is simply because I want to protect Prospectus Technology.
"It's a company I've poured years of effort into, and I won't put it in jeopardy for anyone. Thousands of employees depend on it. Please, leave now," Damon replied firmly.
Without another word, he walked out of the meeting room, never looking back.
Despair flickered across Pedro's face. Was the Wilkie Group truly doomed to bankruptcy?

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....
