“So I should give up my career just to avoid an ugly situation because you don’t want me near Damon?” Nyla smiled, but her eyes were icy. “Ms. Hulle, don’t you think your ego is a bit inflated?”

Erin’s expression darkened. “I didn’t expect you to become so sharp–tongued after five years. But have you considered that your sharp tongue might hurt those around you?”

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Nyla’s eyes. “Ms. Hulle, has your romantic life made you foolish? This is Capitarnia, not Saintornia. Our lab has numerous research achievements, and any one of them would attract countless investors. Do you really think the Hulles can control everything in this country?”

Nyla was baffled by Erin’s audacity to claim she could easily bring down their lab. Had she even researched who was backing them?

“Hah! What good is talking big? I’m giving you one last chance. If you don’t leave voluntarily, whatever happens next won’t be something I can control!” Erin warned.

“Idiot!” Nyla muttered.

She didn’t want to waste another second with Erin and turned to leave.

As she opened the door, she almost ran into the tall man who was about to walk in. When he looked down at her, his dark eyes were unfathomable and intimidating.

Nyla instinctively took a step back, her brows furrowing. Was Damon behind Erin’s audacity to threaten her?

She had heard that Prospectus Technology had expanded significantly under Damon’s leadership in recent years, securing a presence in all major cities. Its status had vastly improved.

Nyla was dressed in a light beige fitted dress that accentuated her slim waist, looking effortlessly elegant. With light makeup and the overhead lights highlighting her delicate features, she appeared flawless.

As Damon noticed the fleeting emotion in her eyes, he quickly explained, “Ms. Kinsey, my fiancee has caused you some trouble. I’m sorry.”

Nyla squinted, contemplating the sincerity of his words.

After a moment, a mocking smile crept onto her face. “Mr. Sumner, I’m grateful for Ms. Hulle’s investment in our lab, so how could I see it as trouble? It seems she feels insecure, worried that I might seduce you. I wonder if you share her concerns?”

Damon hadn’t expected Nyla to lay everything out so directly. He lowered his gaze, his presence suddenly imposing, like the calm before a storm.

However, Nyla remained unaffected, simply smiling at him.

Eventually, he shifted his gaze away, his voice growing colder, though not directed at her. “Erin, come over and apologize to Ms. Kinsey.”

Erin bit her lip, unsure how Damon had found out about their meeting.

Despite her resentment toward Nyla, under Damon’s commanding gaze, she could only reluctantly say,”

Ms. Kinsey, I’m sorry.”

Nyla’s smile was gentle. “There’s no need for apologies, Ms. Hulle. If I had such a handsome fiance, I’d be just as protective as well. After all, if someone were to steal him away, it would mean sleepless nights for me, too.”

Erin’s face turned ashen. If Damon hadn’t been present, she would have lunged at Nyla, eager to tear apart that hypocritical facade.
