Chapter 431
When Wren heard that the compensation could amount to hundreds of millions, her face went pale with fear, and she nearly fainted.
She recalled that when she married Harrison, his pharmaceutical company was valued at about that amount. How could a few leaked data points now be worth the, same?
Walking out of the police station in a daze, Wren falt lost, unsure where to go or whom to turn to. If Gabriel ended up in prison, his life would be ruined!
She deeply regretted not preventing him from returning to the country. At least things wouldnât have escalated to this point,
Wait, Nyla!
As Wren considered that all this trouble began because of Nyla, anger flared in her
eyes.
She took a cab to Nylaâs place and pounded on the door, but there was no response.
Wren tried calling her, but the call remained ongoing, indicating that Nyla had likely blocked her number. Frustrated, she gave up and returned to the hospital to inform
Harrison of the situation.
To her surprise, Harrison sided with Nyla. âThis is Gabrielâs fault. Nyla isnât the head of Prospectus Technology. She canât control this situation.â
Wren stared at Harrison in disbelief. âAre you serious? If it werenât for her association with the same company, Gabriel wouldnât be in this mess!â
She continue
to yell, âSo, just because Nyla is your daughter, you take her side? T understand nowâno matter how well I treat you or how well Gabriel treats you, to you, Nyla is always the real family! Gabriel and I are just outsiders!â
Harrisonâs face darkened due to her unreasonable stance. âDo you think the people at Prospectus Technology and the police are fools? If Gabriel hadnât leaked the data, this situation wouldnât have occurred. And how is this Nylaâs fault? Did she force him
to do it?â
Wren looked at him with disappointment. âHarrison, Iâve spent years taking care of you, and now that Gabriel is in trouble, you canât even offer a word of comfort. Iâm done with you. If Gabrielâs situation doesnât improve, weâre getting a divorce!â

With that, she grabbed her bag and left the ward.
Harrison watched her go with a grim expression but did not call after her.

Late that night, Nyla received a call from the hospital. âMs. Jayston, weâre currently unable to reach Mrs. Jayston. Your father is alone at the hospital and needs
someone to stay with him tonight. Could you come over to keep him company?â
With Wren unreachable right after Gabrielâs incident, the timing seemed suspiciously
convenient.
Nyla suspected it was a ploy by Wren, knowing that if the hospital couldnât reach her, they would contact Nyla directly instead.
Nyla considered this for a moment and replied, âI understand. Iâll arrange for al caregiver to go over there shortly.â
After hanging up, Nyla promptly contacted a caregiver. She signed a sixâmonth contract and sent the caregiver to the hospital.
As for Nyla herself, she was deeply disappointed in Harrison after her last visit and had no desire to see him again.
At the police stationâ¦
Gabriel remained silent during questioning until his lawyer arrived and took over the conversation with the police.
Despite facing hundreds of millions in compensation or potential imprisonment, Gabriel remained calm.
Seeing his unflappable demeanor, the detective grew more serious. âMr. Hackett, we hope you will cooperate with the investigation. Prolonging this will not benefit you in
any way.
â
Gabriel smiled. âI am cooperating. The exact amount of compensation can be discussed with my lawyer.â
