Candice, the youngest daughter of the Taft Group''s CEO, had a birthday party that attracted guests from powerful families. Given that Mason attended one of the most elite kindergartens in Saintornia, it was safe to assume that all of the students'' parents were influential and wealthy.


    "Spencer is still looking into it. I''ll update you as soon as I have answers. Don''t worry too much," Damon reassured her.


    N lowered her gaze. "Okay."


    Noticing her distress, Damon pulled her into his arms and spoke gently. "N, don''t be too hard on yourself. We caught this early, so we can handle it properly.


    "I''ll arrange for a child psychologist to help Buddy process this. He won''t be left withsting trauma. You''re not to me."


    N rested her head on his shoulder, her voice trembling. "I''ve been neglecting Buddytely. That''s why I didn''t notice anything was wrong. And from the way those kids treated him in the video, this isn''t the first time they''ve bullied him."


    She couldn''t bear to imagine what might have happened if they hadn''t noticed Mason''s unusual behavior today.


    Hearing the guilt in her voice, Damon reassured her, "Nothing worse will happen. I won''t let it. And N, we''re first-time parents. We can''t catch everything, no matter


    how hard we try.


    "Sometimes, things have to happen before we know how to address them. So don''t me yourself."


    "I understand," N replied.


    When he saw her calm down, Damon let go of her. "Go wash up and get ready for bed. I''ve got a few more things to take care of."


    "Okay."


    Back in his study, Damon received a call from Spencer. "Mr. Sumner, I''ve identified the parents of the children who bullied Mr. Mason. I''ve sent their information to your email."


    "Got it." Damon opened the email and skimmed through the details. To his surprise, all the parents ownedpanies with business ties to Prospectus Technology.


    He let out a cold chuckle.


    ...


    The next morning, as Damon and


    N came downstairs, Lydia approached them. "Mr. Sumner,


    several guests arrived our


    ago and asked to see you.


    Damon''s expression remained indifferent. "Tell them I''m busy today. I won''t be seeing anyone."


    "Understood," Lydia replied. She


    returned a short whileter. "Mr. Sumner, I ryed your message, but they refused to leave. They said they''ll wait at the entrance at you''re avable."


    "Let them wait, then," Damon said.


    N sensed that these visitors were the parents of the children who had bullied Mason.


    Keeping her head down, she quietly ate her breakfast and pretended not to have heard anything.


    It wasn''t until nearly noon that Damon finally agreed to meet them.


    A group of eight adults, apanied by four children, soon entered the living room.


    N sat with Mason, keeping him upied, while Damon lounged on the sofa, watching them with a small smile. They ignored the guestspletely.


    The guests'' expressions darkened.


    One man, who had previously interacted with Damon on business, spoke first. "Mr. Sumner, we brought our children here today to apologize to Mr Mason. Whatever it takes for him to forgive them whether it''s Scolding of punishment-we''ll ept it."


    As soon as he finished speaking, the other parents hurriedly echoed his words.
