Chapter 593
Richard looked up at Damon, displeased. âIs this how you talk to your father?â
Damonâs expression was tense, his eyes devoid of warmth. âMy attitude toward you depends on your actions.â
Richard scoffed. âGood! Very well! I really raised a fine son!â
âIâll ask you again. Where is Buddy right now?â Damon repeated.
âIf you want to know, go look for him yourself,â Richard replied.
Damon narrowed his eyes, speaking each word slowly. âDad, you should know my patience is limited.â âAre you threatening me? What do you think you have to threaten me with?â Richard snapped.
âNot much. Just something in my possession that could destroy the Sumner Group,â Damon said calmly. Richardâs expression shifted dramatically as he fixed his gaze on Damon. âYou think you can scare me with that?â
Damon raised an eyebrow. âDonald Dunlop from the boardâheâs your man, right?â
Over the years, despite Richardâs official retreat from the company, he had maintained several spies within the Sumner Group.
Damon had identified them but hadnât bothered to remove them, as there had been no direct conflict with his father. Still, he was well aware of their covert activities.
Richardâs face paled. Donald was one of his most deeply embedded people in the company. It shocked him that Damon knew about Donald, let alone the others.
âDamon, I didnât think you were keeping tabs on me!â Richard exclaimed.
âIf you hadnât sent people to take Buddy or deceived me, I wouldâve pretended not to know,â Damon replied coldly.
Richard gritted his teeth. âWhat do you understand?! I did it to protect you! Do you expect me to just sit back and watch you die? You were willing to throw your life away for that woman back then. If I hadnât found a way to make you forget her, do you think youâd still be here today?â
Damon was taken aback. Was he really willing to risk his life for Nyla? How could that be?
âAll I want to know is where Buddy is,â he said.
Richard took a deep breath, his voice lowering. âI can tell you, but only if you remove the people youâve placed in the estate.â
Damon considered for a moment, then nodded. âFine.â
Richard provided an address, and Damon immediately turned to leave.
Just as he reached the door, Richardâs weary voice echoed behind him. âWhen you pick up that child, bring him back here. Heâs my grandson. I want to see what he looks like.â

Damon paused briefly but didnât respond. He simply opened the door and walked out.

Less than two hours later, Damon picked up Mason.
Upon seeing Damon, Masonâs face twisted with anger.
âYou bad guy! Why did you bring me here? Take me back to my mom! I hate you! I donât want to be with you!â Mason growled, his small fists clenched tightly, ready to strike.
Damon frowned and instructed one of his men, âTake him back to the villa and keep an eye on him. Donât let him escape.â
âI donât want to go to any villa! I want to be with my mom! I want my mom!â Mason yelled.
Before he could finish, someone picked him up and carried him toward the waiting car.
Mason struggled fiercely, but his strength was no match for an adult. He was soon shoved into the car and driven away.
Luca stepped forward. âMr. Sumner, Ms. Kinsey is looking for Mr. Mason. Should we take him to-â
Before he could finish, Damon cut him off coldly, âNo. Itâs not safe for Buddy to be around her right now. Weâll deal with that after this situation is resolved.â
Since Mason had been taken directly from Nyla by Richardâs men, it was clear she couldnât protect him. Damon wouldnât let Mason remain in danger any longer.
