Chasing the Unexpected

Damon narrowed his eyes, about to speak, when Erin quickly said, “I won’t disturb you then. Remember to drink the soup on the table and don’t work too hard.”

She turned and hurried out, her steps frantic, as if something were chasing her.

Damon’s gaze grew colder as he watched her leave. Regardless of Erin’s consent, he was determined to end their engagement.

Spencer walked in with some documents, and Damon instructed, “Forget about the Keithstone Group resort project proposal.”

Spencer was taken aback. “Mr. Sumner, we’ve been preparing that proposal for over half a month, and it’s nearly finished. Besides-”

“The Keithstone Group has already confirmed their partner,” Damon stated.

Spencer swallowed the rest of his words and nodded. “Understood.”

As he left the office, he informed another secretary to stop working on the proposal when his phone rang Seeing it was Richard, he tightened his grip on the phone and frowned.

Why was Richard contacting him out of the blue?

Spencer went to the stairwell to answer the call, only to be met with Richard’s icy voice. “Spencer, did you say something to Damon?!”

Richard, what do you mean?” Spencer was confused. What could he have possibly told Damon?

Richard huffed. “If you didn’t say anything, then why is Damon suddenly investigating what happened during his memory loss?!”

Spencer froze for a moment, then recalled Damon’s recent confirmation that Mason was his biological child. After losing all memories of Nyla, she had become a stranger to him. Given his sharp instincts, Damon would certainly suspect something was off regarding his earlier amnesia.

Moreover, Spencer’s previous actions had raised Damon’s doubts, and he no longer trusted Spencer. It made sense that Damon would investigate what had occurred during the months he had lost his memory without informing Spencer.

With this realization, Spencer replied quietly, “Mr. Richard, I haven’t mentioned anything to Mr. Damon. He’s been complaining about headaches lately and might be recalling fragments of memory, which is why he’s looking into it.”

“Make sure you’ve said nothing. Keep your mouth shut and think about your family before you speak Richard snapped before hanging up.

Spencer put away his phone, his head slightly bowed. His expression appeared dark in the dimly lit

stairwell.

On her way back to the lab, Nyla tried to call Oliver to inform him that Aubrey Jane had agreed to collaborate with the Raynor Group, but he didn’t pick up.

Thinking he might be busy, she decided against calling again. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

In the Raynor Group conference room…

The shareholders glared at Oliver.

“Mr. Raynor, is this what you promised us would be resolved? Now several partners want to terminate their contracts, all because of your rash decision to compete with Prospectus Technology for the amusement park project. This has resulted in losses of hundreds of millions, and now we’re at risk of losing more major partnerships!”

“Hah! Mr. Raynor, you were the one who said you’d resign if this happened. You can leave right now!”

“Leave? You talked a good game back then, but I bet you’re reluctant to give up your position now. Frankly, Mr. Raynor, you don’t have the capability of your father, so stop ruining this company. If you keep leading us, the Raynor Group might end up bankrupt under your management!”

Oliver’s expression turned icy as he took in the scornful glares directed at him. “Those partners have only expressed a desire to terminate. No contracts have been signed yet. I’ll arrange to meet with them again. There’s still room for negotiation.”

Just then, his secretary, Liam Tilley, walked into the conference room with a

grim look on his face. “Mr Raynor, the partners considering termination have arrived. They’re currently in the reception area.”
