aze turned icy. “Why do you ask?”

After a moment of silence, Damon replied coldly, “You’re overthinking it. What I’m doing has nothing to do with her.”

Luca lowered his gaze, not fully convinced. If it weren’t for Nyla, there would be no reason to expose
“Is there anything else?” Damon’s voice was sharp.
It prompted Luca to quickly answer, “No, I’ll head out now.”
“Mr. Hulle might come by in the afternoon. Just let him into my office,” Damon said.
“Understood, Mr. Sumner,” Luca replied.
Not long after lunch, Patrick stormed into Damon’s office. “Mr. Sumner, is this how you treat Erin? Isn’t it a bit excessive?”
Damon set down his documents and looked up at Patrick.
Patrick stomped into the office and slammed the door shut. The anger he felt from this morning’s encounter with the shareholders surged in his chest, almost overwhelming him.
Damon remained composed. “Mr. Hulle, please take a seat.”
Patrick let out a cold laugh. “Damon, if you don’t give me a satisfactory explanation today, we’ll cancel all our previous collaborations, and my company will no longer work with Prospectus Technology!”
He thought this would threaten Damon, but to his surprise, Damon simply nodded. “Alright. If you want to terminate the agreement, we’ll do it your way.”
Patrick froze in disbelief. “What did you just say?”
He hadn’t genuinely intended to end their collaboration. He just wanted to leverage the situation to gain more from Prospectus Technology.

“I promise we didn’t discuss anything else. You’re Erin’s fiance, my future son–in–law. There’s no way I’d help an outsider over my own son–in–law, right?” Patrick tried to reassure Damon.
Damon looked at him with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes. “Is that so?”
Patrick nodded fervently. “Yes, Mr. Sumner, you’ve really misunderstood me. If you don’t believe me, we can call your nephew in for a confrontation right now.”
“No need for that. I have a recording that you might find interesting,” Damon said.
He played a recording from his phone.
As Patrick listened, his face grew increasingly dark. Before the recording even finished, he wore an expression of utter defeat.
Damon turned off the recording and smiled at him. “Do you have anything else to say? Are you going to claim this recording is fabricated?”
Patrick glared at him. “Damon, first you have someone leak those photos of my daughter, and now you` pull out this recording. You’re trying to force me to terminate the agreement with Prospectus Technology.
“I see your family’s tactics clearly now! I agree to the termination, but remember, acting so ruthlessly will only narrow your options!”
