Chapter 132
Damonâs expression turned icy as he looked at Erin and said, âMs. Hulle, I hope you understand the implications of what youâre saying.â
Erin smiled, showing no fear. âOf course I do. I wonder if you understand the consequences of your actions. Coveting your nephewâs wifeâif this gets out, you know what will happen to Ms. Nyla.â
Damonâs eyes narrowed. âAre you threatening me?â
âNot at all. I intend to help you,â Erin replied.
Damon asked, âOh? How exactly do you plan to help me?â
Sensing the cold aura around Damon, Erin took two steps closer and said, âMr. Damon, you should know that even if Ms. Nyla divorces your nephew, you two can never be together. But if you choose to be with me, Iâll help keep your secret.â
Damon let out a cold laugh, each word dripping with ice. âMs. Hulle, I donât like you and will never be with you.
âIf this gets out, Prospectus Technology will immediately cancel all contracts with Builders Property and never cooperate again. You should consider if Builders Property can handle those consequences.â
Seeing the seriousness in his gaze, Erin realized he meant every word. How was he willing to risk everything with Builders Property just for Nyla?!
An oppressive silence filled the office.
After a long pause, Erin finally spoke. âRejecting me will be the biggest mistake you ever make.â
Marrying her meant gaining control of Builders Property. Many men
would jump at the chance to be with her, yet Damon was so ungrateful.
Chapter 137
What hurt the most was losing to a woman she deemed inferior in every
way.
Damonâs expression remained unchanged. âMs. Hulle, I have work to do. You may leave.â
Biting her lip, Erin turned and left the office.
The silence that followed was even more stifling, and Damonâs demeanor grew colder.
Spencer knocked and entered. âMr. Sumner, youâre scheduled to review Ms. Jaystonâs experiment progress at ten. Should I-â
He
was abruptly cut off by Damonâs cold tone. âIâm not available. Send Zachary. From now on, heâll handle all updates on her experiment.â
Spencer was surprised. If Damon wasnât interested, why insist on Nyla working there? The work could have been done at Park Pharmaceuticals just as well.
âUnderstood,â he replied.
After Spencer left, Damon took a deep breath, trying to suppress his irritation and focus on his documents. However, he couldnât concentrate and soon tossed the papers aside, lighting a cigarette in frustration.
At 10:00 a.m., Nyla was separating solutions when Spencer arrived with a few men in suits.
âMs. Jayston, this is Mr. Zachary Keane from Prospectus Technology. Heâll be your new contact for the experiment. Any updates or needs should go through him,â Spencer said
Nyla was taken aback and asked, âMr. Sumner isnât overseeing this experiment anymore?â

She remembered being sent here to ensure Damon could monitor the experimentâs progress.
Spencer nodded. âYes. Mr. Sumner is busy and wonât be able to follow up on this.â
Nyla pressed her lips together, realizing that Damon wasnât too busy- he simply didnât want to see her.
A clear separation was probably for the best, sparing them both the awkwardness.
âAlright, I understand,â she said.
After Nyla briefly updated Zachary on her experimentâs progress, the group of men left.
