Rebecca knew she had truly lost Nathaniel this time. He had always been unconditionally tolerant of her, which had made her increasingly reckless, assuming he would always be by her side.
After crying, she slowly got up and headed back to Damonâs villa.
As if anticipating her return, the villaâs staff stopped her at the door and handed her the document Damon had given her in the living room.
âMs. Austen, Mr. Sumner asked that you sign this document and sever all ties with him,â the housekeeper
said.
Rebeccaâs face flushed with anger. âWhere is Damon? I want
to see him!â
The housekeeperâs eyes flashed with disdain. âMr. Sumner isnât here right now. Iâd advise you to sign the document and take the money. Mr. Sumnerâs patience is limited.â
Infuriated, Rebecca raised her hand to slap the arrogant housekeeper, but her hand was quickly caught. The housekeeper roughly pushed her, sending her crashing to the ground. The document was tossed in
front of her.
âMs. Austen, I am not your servant, and you have no right to lay a hand on me,â the housekeeper said, slamming the door shut.
Rebecca had never faced such humiliation. She picked up the document from the ground, her eyes burning with fury. She almost tore the document apart
The disgrace of the day would be forever etched in her memory, all because of Nyla!
She wasnât going to give up easily.
In the end, Rebecca left with the document in hand.
Early the next morning, the doorbell rang just after Nyla got up.
âMs. Jayston, Mr. Sumner asked me to deliver these things to you,â the person at the door said.
Nyla frowned and did not open the door. âPlease tell him not to send anything anymore. I donât want to see him.â
The person at the door hesitated for a moment before saying. âMs. Jayston⦠Mr. Sumner said if I donât complete this task, I wonât have a job tomorrow.â
Nyla was taken aback by Damonâs audacity in using such threats. Did he really think she would be swayed?
Despite her irritation, she didnât want to make things difficult for the messengerâit was Damonâs fault, after all.
She opened the door and said coolly, âJust give it to me.â
The messenger looked relieved and grateful. âThank you, Ms. Jayston.â

Seeing
that it was breakfast from a renowned spot in Saintornia, Nyla pursed her lips. âYou can go now.
Thank you.
After the messenger left, Nyla called Damon. âWhere are you now?â
âAt the office. Did you get the breakfast I sent?â he asked.
âYes, but Iâm not very satisfied,â Nyla replied.
âDonât like it?â Damon asked.
Nyla pressed her lips together. âItâs not that. I just donât feel your sincerity. Sending someone to buy it only shows you have money. If you really wanted to send it, why didnât you queue yourself and bring it?â
There was a brief silence on the other end. Just as Nyla thought Damon might be upset, his light chuckle came through as he said, âAlright. Iâll do it now.â
Nyla frowned and hung up.
An hour later, Damon indeed showed up at her door with breakfast from the same place.
His hair was a bit messy, his suit jacket was off, and the sleeves of his white shirt were rolled up. exposing his strong forearms. The shirt, usually neatly pressed, was now wrinkled and looked somewhat disheveled.
It was probably the first time he had waited in line with others to buy breakfast.
When Nyla opened the door and saw the box he handed her, she said expressionlessly, âMr. Sumner, do you realize what time it is? Iâve already eaten. You can keep it for yourself.â
