Chasing the Unexpected

The Raynor Group would suffer some losses in the short term, but their foundation would remain intact. Damon stood up and, as he walked out, said, “Mr. Raynor, many people are hoping to see the Raynors fall from grace. I hope you won’t regret it!”

With that, he pushed past Oliver and Nyla and left.

Oliver turned to Nyla, his gaze softening. “Nyla, it’s okay now. Let’s take Buddy home.”

Nyla didn’t move, her eyes locked onto him. “Oliver, what did you do to Prospectus Technology?”

She had clearly heard Damon’s words. Oliver had convinced Damon to stop obstructing her from taking Mason away, but it was evident that the Raynor Group had paid a price for it.

Oliver’s expression remained calm. “Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. It won’t impact the Raynor Group too much. My dad once told me that if I let the Raynor Group fall, he’d kick my ass, so I won’t act recklessly.”

Realizing he was just trying to comfort her, Nyla bit her lip and refrained from pressing further.”

She understood Oliver–he wouldn’t share what he didn’t want to discuss, no matter how many times she asked.

Squatting down to Mason’s level, she wiped the tears from his eyes. “Buddy, let’s go home. Mommy will take you home.”

Buddy nodded, sniffling. “Mommy, my backpack is still in the room.”

“Uncle Oliver will go get it for you,” Oliver said.

After he retrieved the backpack, they left together.

Damon stared coldly at the documents in his hands in the backseat of the Maybach as Spencer reported on the current situation.

“Mr. Sumner, the Raynor Group suddenly intervened in the amusement park project. Now it’s stuck at the final approval stage, and they’re not giving me a chance to meet. Every time I reach out, they say they’re either abroad or on a business trip,” he said.

It was clear that this was just an excuse.

Damon’s expression remained calm, but the knuckles gripping the documents turned white, revealing just how angry he was.

“Schedule a meeting with Mr. Groover,” he ordered.

Timothy Groover was the liaison for a previous collaboration between Prospectus Technology and the government. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Spencer paused, suddenly recalling that Timothy had a relative working in the relevant assessment department.

“Got it, I’ll do it now!” he said.

After setting up the meeting with Timothy, Spencer was about to breathe a sigh of relief when Damon shot him a cold glance.

“How did Buddy end up running out today?” Damon asked.

Sweat broke out on Spencer’s palms. “I… I’m not sure. I just got a call from my assistant about an issue with the amusement park project, and I didn’t pay attention.”

“Spencer, you’ve been with me for years. I won’t tolerate this again. If it happens once more, resign,” Damon said.

Under Damon’s piercing gaze, Spencer realized that any attempt to defend himself would be futile. He looked down and fell silent. 1

As Damon returned to the documents, his mind drifted to another matter.

With everything going on–managing the amusement park project and dealing with the Raynor Group–he hadn’t had time to spend with Mason.

He decided to let Nyla stay with Mason a little longer. Once the amusement park project was on track and Oliver was too busy to assist her, he would take Mason away from her.

At that point, she wouldn’t stand a chance without Oliver’s help!

After dropping Nyla and Mason off at home, Oliver hurriedly left.

Back in the familiar surroundings of home, Mason began to calm down, but he still remained close to Nyla, a hint of anxiety in his eyes.
