“Understood!” Spencer replied but then turned back to look at him, his expression hesitant

“Is there something else?” Damon asked.

“It’s not a big deal… It’s just… With Ms. Jayston’s birthday coming up, should we prepare a gift for her?” Spencer asked.

Damon frowned, his gaze showing irritation. “What does her birthday have to do with me?”

Spencer quickly shook his head. “No, nothing.

“In the future, you don’t need to report anything about her to me. Professionally, she’s just an employee from Park Pharmaceuticals. Personally, she’s my niece–in–law, We need to keep our distance,” Damon clarified,

Spencer lowered his head. “Understood, Mr. Sumner.”

Back at home, Jacqueline was fuming.

After learning that Nyla had refused to help, Jacqueline’s father, Byron Rainford, scolded her and instructed her to keep trying until Nyla agreed to assist.

She was burning with frustration. Given Nyla’s attitude that morning, continuing seemed pointless.

While she was brooding, she suddenly received a call from Erin.

Knowing what Jacqueline had been through that morning, Erin invited her out for a shopping spree to cheer her up.

When they met, Jacqueline vented her frustration.

Erin listened sympathetically. “It’s clear that Nyla is holding a grudge from the banquet. I didn’t expect her to be s. petty.”

Jacqueline gritted her teeth. “The thought of having to beg her makes me sick.”

“Isn’t Tom helping you?” Erin asked.

Although Gen Pharma suffered significant losses, Tom was supported by his family background. He could resolve the issues facing both Gen Pharma and the Rainford Group with a simple visit home.

At the mention of Tom, Jacqueline’s face darkened. “Don’t bring him up. He’s been avoiding me lately. I bet that bitch Valarie said something to him!”

Upon recalling Tom’s comment that he now saw her as just a sister, Jacqueline’s anger flared. She couldn’t believe Tom wanted to marry Valarie!

Erin narrowed her eyes. “Aren’t you planning to win him back? Are you just going to watch him with Valarie?”

“Of course not. However, with the Rainford Group in such a dire situation, I can’t keep chasing after him,” Jacqueline replied.

Erin sighed. “You’re putting the cart before the horse. As long as you’re with Tom, the Genge Group will likely cooperate with the Rainford Group because of his influence. The Genge Group is just as significant as the Sumner Group.”

Jacqueline’s eyes lit up. Right, if she could secure Tom she’d also secure the Genges behind him.

Seeing that Jacqueline was considering her advice, Erin added, “What you need to focus on now is driving Valarie away from Tom, not begging Nyla.”

Jacqueline nodded. “Erin, you’re right! I know what I need to do now!”

A week passed quickly, and soon it was Nyla’s birthday

As soon as she arrived at work that morning, she received a message from Valarie.

Valarie: [Come to Room 302 on the third floor of Hyphen Hotel after work. I have a surprise for you.]

Nyla couldn’t help but smile.

Nyla: [Okay.]

Later in the evening, just before getting off work, Clark transferred 1,340,000 dollars to her along with an

apology note.

Clark: [Nyla, sorry I can’t make it back. I’ve asked my assistant to send a cake and a gift home. Happy Birthday!]

Nyla read the message with a neutral expression, did not reply, and chose not to accept the money.

After cleaning up the lab equipment, she changed out of her lab coat and left the office.

Halfway there, she received a call from Valarie asking how far away she was.

“There’s some traffic, so I’ll probably be there in about half an hour,” Nyla said.

“Alright, I’ll wait for you,” Valarie replied.

Finally, Nyla arrived at the hotel around 7:00 p.m. She paid the cab fare and was about to enter the hotel when suddenly a shadow fell from above, landing right in front of her.

Nyla froze in shock.

When she saw that it was Valarie, her eyes widened in disbelief as she shouted, “Valarie!”
