Clarkâs expression turned sour as he demanded, âDad, didnât you hear Grandpaâs warning just now? Or is a brother who abandoned you more important than your own son?â
Cyrus sighed. âI just want to talk to the doctor about the likelihood of Damon successfully recovering his memory. And no matter what, heâs still your uncle.â
âUncle? Heâs not even a part of the Sumners!â an angry voice said from the doorway.
Cyrus and Clark turned their heads.
Cyrus glared at Cindy as she approached. He scolded, âWhat nonsense are you spouting? Isnât the family chaotic enough already?â
Cindy scoffed and sat across from them. âClark, do you remember when I told you that your uncle doesnât have the right to compete with you for the Sumner Group?â
Clark nodded. âYes. What do you mean by saying he isnât part of the Sumners?â
Cyrus was angry. âDonât listen to your motherâs nonsense. I think sheâs been idle for too long and lost her mind. How could I not know whether Damon is my brother?â
Cindy smirked, her tone laced with sarcasm. âYou think Damon is your brother? Donât forget, your parents were abroad for several years. When they returned, they brought Damon with them, claiming he was born
overseas.
âDid you ever actually see your mother pregnant? Everything they said, you just accepted without question.â
Cyrus paused, then frowned. âIf he isnât part of the Sumners, do you think my parents would have brought
him back and raised him as their own son, given their personalit
âNormally, no. But what if Damonâs biological parents saved their lives?â Cindy retorted.
Seeing how confident Cindy looked, Cyrus began to waver. After all, he had never seen his mother pregnant.
When Richard and Marie first brought Damon back, there had indeed been some gossip for a while. Later, they personally took Damon for a paternity test, which silenced the rumors.
At least, no one openly questioned whether Damon was truly a Sumner.
When Damon went on to start his own companyâProspectus Technologyâand became a powerful figure in the city, no one dared to bring up his background again.
âWhatâs really going on? Explain yourself!â Cyrus demanded.
Cindy glanced at him. âWerenât you just doubting me earlier? Why believe me now?â
Anger flashed in Cyrusâ eyes. âAre you going to tell me or not? If not, keep quiet forever!â
Cindy shrugged. âI overheard your parents arguing once. Apparently, when they were abroad, Damonâs parents saved their lives. Out of the three of them, only Damon survived, so your parents brought him back and raised him as their own son.â

She sneered. âWho knew theyâd actually develop feelings for him and treat him like their real son, even planning to hand over the company to him? Itâs ridiculous!â
As Cindy finished speaking, the living room fell silent.
Cyrus was filled with disbelief, yet deep down, he felt she might be right.
Damon had always been cold and distant, unlike the calculating nature of the rest of the Sumners. He had never been interested in building close relationships.
Next to him, Clarkâs face darkened. The thought that his grandfather would rather give the company to an outsider than to him was infuriating.
