“What should I do next?” Luca inquired.
“Head back to the office,” Damon ordered.
As soon as Damon arrived at the office, he instructed Luca to notify the shareholders and department managers to convene a meeting.
After learning that all his projects had slowed down during his time in Capitarnia, Damon was furious.
Everyone in the room trembled in fear, too scared to speak up.
Damon mmed the documents on the table and spoke without expression. “I’m giving you one week to get everything back on track. No mistakes. Otherwise, you’re out!”
The conference room, filled with dozens of people, fell into a tense silence. Not even a breath could be heard, as no one dared to attract Damon’s attention.
Suddenly, a phone rang.
Damon frowned and nced at his phone. After a moment of hesitation, he answered.
“Is there something you need?” he asked.
“Damon, I’m in Saintornia now. Where is Buddy?” N asked.
Damon raised an eyebrow, surprised that she hade to Saintornia.
“I already told you, he’s in a very safe ce. As for where that is, I can’t disclose it,” he replied.
“Buddy needs me. He’s only five years old! Suddenly being taken away from everything familiar and everyone he knows will scare him. Is it really necessary to be so despicable just to grab custody?!” N demanded.
Damon couldn’t help butugh in anger. She had let someone take her child away while she was supposed to be caring for him, and now she had the nerve to question him?
“It’s normal for him to feel unfamiliar. He’ll get used to it over time. It’s definitely better than staying with you. You can’t even protect your own child. Shouldn’t you reflect on that?” Damon countered.
“You’re the one who used despicable means <b>to </be to my home and take Buddy away. What right do you have to criticize me? You should be the one reflecting!” N retorted.
“Say whatever you want. I’m not letting you see Buddy again,” Damon said, hanging up.
As he set his phone down, the people who had been cautiously ncing at him quickly averted their eyes, fearing he would catch them staring.
Damon nced around the room and said icily, “Remember what I said. <b>Meeting </b>adjourned!”

“Mr. <b>Sumner</b>, it’s bad Mr. Mason won’t eat dinner and tried to sneak out through a window on the second floor. He fell and is on <b>his </b>way <b>to </b><b>the </b>hospital tow,” the maid reported
Damon’s face darkened. “You can’t even keep an eye on a child? Useless!”
He immediately called for Luca<b>, </b>speaking coldly “Have the driver bring the car around. I need to go to the hospital”
<b>With </b>that, he strode toward the elevator
Luca followed, already on the phone with the driver as he hunded to catch up. After finishing the call, he turned <b>to </b>Damon, noting <b>his </b>grim expression
“Mr. Sumner, why the sudden trip to the hospital?” Luca asked.
“Buddy tried to escape and fell from the second floor,” Damon replied, his expression severe.
Luca was shocked Mason was <b>only </b>five years old, and a fall from that height could result in serious injuries.
“How badly <b>is </b>he hurt? Loca asked (1)
“I don’t know,” Damon said, his frustration monating
He added coldly, “Get rid of everyone at the vi. They’re useless!”
<b>“</b>Understood.” Luca responded
The elevator quickly reached the ground floor, and Damon headed straight for the exit.
Just as he stepped out of Prospectus <b>Technology</b>, a figure suddenly darted in front of him, blocking his path. Seeing it was N, he frowned in irritation. He turned to Luca and demanded angrily, “How did she get here?!”
