The air hung heavy for a moment before Damonâs previously cold expression softened.
âIâll pay more attention in the future,â he said, quickly heading toward his study.
Nyla casually diverted her gaze and gently spoke to Mason. âDonât be afraid, Buddy. Your dad was just in a bad mood. He wonât hurt you.â
Mason nodded. âOkay.â
âLetâs continue eating,â Nyla said.
Meanwhile, Damonâs phone rang as soon as he stepped into the study.
âMr. Sumner, Stephen met with someone from Prestige Corp. tonight,â Luca reported.
A week earlier, Luca had discovered that Stephen Ketchum had been in contact with Prestige Corp. and had immediately informed Damon.
Stephen was the director of the technology department at Prospectus Technology and had been involved in many significant research projects.
If Prestige Corp. managed to poach him, it would not only be a substantial loss for Prospectus Technology but could also jeopardize the companyâs development.
Damon lowered his gaze, an icy look in his eyes. âDonât worry about him for now. Whatâs going on with Prestige Corp. recently?â
âTheyâre also planning to acquire land in the eastern part of the city and negotiate a partnership for the western suburbs project,â Luca answered.
âI see. Have Mr. Gable meet with Mr. Trull tomorrow and take that project from Prestige Corp. Also, arrange for me to meet with Mr. Vance,â Damon instructed.
The western suburbs project was primarily managed by the Trull Group. Damon hadnât been particularly interested in it before, as it involved high investment with low returns. However, since Prestige Corp. wanted to poach his people, he needed to cut off their path!
âUnderstood, Mr. Sumner,â Luca replied.
The next day at noon, in the most luxurious private room at Flavorsâ¦
David Vance smiled and asked, âMr. Sumner, may I ask what brought you here?â
âMr. Vance, Iâm here to discuss business, of course,â Damon replied.
At this, David narrowed his eyes slightly but then smiled again. âIf I recall correctly, Prospectus Technology and I do not have any partnership.â
âWe didnât before, but that doesnât mean we wonât in the future,â Damon replied.
An hour later, David and Damon emerged from the private room.

Davidâs smile was noticeably warmer as he said, âMr. Sumner, letâs set a time to sign the contract.â
Damon returned the smile. âHow about tomorrow?â
David paused for a moment, and then his smile brightened even more. âThat would be perfect! Iâll bring the contract to Prospectus Technology tomorrow to meet you.â
âSee you tomorrow then,â Damon replied.
âAlright, see you tomorrow,â David answered.
As Damon got into the black Maybach, the car sped away.
Once on the main road, Luca finally spoke up. âMr. Sumner, Prospectus Technology has taken Prestige Corp.âs largest supplier, so we might be standing completely opposed to them now.â
Moreover, to partner with David, Prospectus Technology had offered a price that was 10% higher than Prestige Corp.âs. This meant they would barely break even and might even incur a loss.
Damonâs expression turned icy. âPrestige Corp. is poaching our technology director, so theyâre clearly ready to sever ties. Iâm simply returning the favor, and this is just the beginning.â
Luca shivered at the coldness in Damonâs eyes. If they got on Damonâs bad side, Prestige Corp. would be finished.
âWhatâs our next move, Mr. Sumner?â Luca asked.
âContact the smaller shareholders at Prestige Corp. and find a way to buy out their shares,â Damon instructed.
Luca nodded. âOkay, Iâll take care of that as soon as I get to the office.â
Not long after they returned to the office, Erin came in.
Seeing her, Damon frowned.
âI made myself very clear yesterday. Iâm not kicking Nyla out of the villa, and I said if you canât stand it, you can break off the engagement at any time,â he said.
Erin gritted her teeth, her expression filled with reluctance.
âDamon, Iâve told you I wonât agree to breaking off the engagement. I donât understand why you insist on letting Nyla live in the villa. I can take care of Buddy. I promise to treat him as my own!â she vowed.
