Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1057

"Well then, I'll wish you success, Mr. Sumner. I've got other guests to attend to, so I'll excuse myself," Gabriel said, turning and walking away.

Damon's gaze followed his retreating figure, his expression icy as he downed the rest of his drink in one gulp.

Damon was certain that Gabriel's smug grin wouldn't last much longer.

Setting his glass down, Damon left the event, only to run into Tom at the entrance.

Tom's smile carried a trace of mockery. "Mr. Sumner, long time no see. I hear Prospectus Technology's chips have been causing you quite a headache lately. Shouldn't you be busy dealing with that instead of attending parties?"

Five years ago, Tom had approached Damon with a proposal for a business partnership. Damon hadn't even spared him a glance.

Now, Tom was savoring the opportunity to watch Prospectus Technology falter.

Damon's face remained impassive. "It seems Prospectus Technology's business troubles are something you've been monitoring closely, Mr. Genge.

"While you're so preoccupied with us, might I suggest focusing on the Genge Group instead? After all, it seems you may not fully understand whether the people you're working with are allies or foes."

Damon was well aware of the shady dealings between Tom and Gabriel. It amused him to see Tom blindly walking into a trap, seemingly unafraid of being stung by the scorpion he was scheming with.

Tom's expression flickered as his tone turned cold. "Perhaps you should worry more about Prospectus Technology, Mr. Sumner. A company as large as yours could easily crumble overnight. That would be a real shame."

Damon smiled faintly. "Don't worry, Mr. Genge. Even if Prospectus Technology were to fall, it would still outlast the Genge Group."

Tom sneered. "Is that a threat?"

Did Damon still think Prospectus Technology was as formidable as before?

After the Agihop 5th Gen's mishap, many were watching the company closely. While it appeared to be thriving, it was actually walking on thin ice. A single misstep could invite predators eager to seize its market share.

"You're welcome to interpret it that way," Damon replied.
