<b>Hector sneered</b>. “You certainly have the means to cover herpensation, Mr. Sumner.”
Damon looked at him and said slowly, “I’d cover herpensation–if she’s actually responsible <b>for </b><b>this</b><b>.</b><b>” </b>
“Who else could it be? The email was sent from herputer. That’s a fact, isn’t it?” Hector asked.
If he weren’t afraid of future retaliation from Damon, he’d almost use him of deliberately shielding N.
“It <b>was </b>indeed sent from herputer, but there’s no evidence of hermunication with Contelligence<b>,</b><b>” </b>Damon replied.
“That email is evidence enough. What more do you need? Mr. Sumner, are you hesitating to pay?” Hector pressed.
If the board were <b>to </b>be the fall guy, he would be the first to refuse!
“Mr. Warner, today’s meeting is to determine the exactpensation amount, not <b>to </b>discuss whether I’m willing to pay,” Damon stated.
Hector snorted and fell silent.
After an hour of discussion, the agreed–uponpensation amount was 200,000,000 dors.
As the meeting ended, Hector turned to Damon and said, “Mr. Sumner, I advise you to get rid of the woman who leakedpany data. Otherwise, she’ll only bring you bigger trouble next time.”
“No matter how big the trouble, I can handle it. You’d do better to focus on your problems rather than meddle in mine, Mr. Warner,” Damon warned.
Hector’s face hardened as he left<b>, </b>gritting his teeth.
Everyone at Prospectus Technology knew he had kept a mistress, and his wife had responded by taking a younger man home, which humiliated Hector.
Ironically, his current status was due to his inws, and he didn’t dare to divorce.
Back in his office, Damon was about to review some documents when he received a call from Reba.
“Damon<b>, </b><b>I </b>heard from Nathaniel that you ended the cooperation with the Preston Group because of N?” she
asked.
Damon’s eyes shed with irritation. “What does that have to do with you?”
There was a pause on the <b>other </b>end, and then Reba’s voice, filled with hurt<b>, </b>came through<b>. </b>“I’m just concerned about you. Nathaniel and you have been friends for years. I don’t want you two falling out over a misunderstanding.”
“If you knew the full story, you’d realize there’s no misunderstanding,” Damon replied.
“Nathaniel only wanted to scare Ms. Jayston. He never meant to hurt her. And this whole <b>situation </b>started

because of me. If you’re looking for someone to me, me me. Don’t make things difficult for Nathaniel,” Reba exined.
Damon frowned, and his tone grew colder. “Reba, I appreciate that you helped me back then, but that doesn’t give you the right to interfere with mypany’s affairs or my decisions. Until you figure out what you want, don’t contact me again.”
Reba put her phone down with a dark expression, her eyes filled with jealousy and frustration.
Nathaniel, who was across from her, also looked grim. He hadn’t expected Damon to be so determined to end their cooperation.
Moreover, it seemed that Reba still had feelings for Damon.
“Reba, if you’re insisting that I get rid of N to be with you, are you nning to let me take the me after she’s gone so you can get back with Damon?” Nathaniel asked.
He stared intently at Reba, fearing he might miss any change in her expression.
If she truly intended to be with him, why wait until he dealt with N? Unless she wanted to remove obstacles between herself and Damon to get back with him.
Reba looked up at him, her gaze full of shock and sadness. “Nathaniel, I can’t believe you think that of me. Do you know why I called Damon? I wanted to help you because I felt you were wronged.”
Seeing her emotional response, Nathaniel quickly moved to sit beside her. “Reba, I’m sorry. I was just angry and lost my temper. Please forgive me.”
