rk vowed to repay this humiliation one day.


    Inside the car, N could feel the tension radiating from Damon, who was clearly in a bad mood. Although he was reading through some documents, his stern profile and the cold aura around him were unmistakable.


    “Mr. Sumner, I’m sorry about what happened this morning.” N said, breaking the silence.


    Damon turned to her and frowned slightly, noticing her guilty expression. “Why are you apologizing?”


    “I didn’t handle my personal matters well and ended up troubling you…


    Damon’s gaze darkened, and his tone betrayed his displeasure. “That’s rk’s fault, not yours. Don’t worry


    about it.”This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    He couldn’t understand how the Sumners produced such a jerk. Not only had rk cheated, but he also had the audacity to keep pestering N.


    N was surprised by Damon’s response. After recalling how he had previously offered to introduce her <b>to </b><b>á </b>divorce <bwyer</b>, it made sense. It seemed that he wasn’t as unreasonable as rk had made him out


    to be.


    They arrived in Rontana around 4:00p.m.


    The deputy general manager of Skyray Medical, Bill Jenkinson, personally came to pick them up, demonstrating thepany’s sincerity in wanting to coborate with Prospectus Technology.


    Bill was in his 40s, plump, with a kind smile,


    “Mr. Sumner, wee! Our CEO <b>had </b>an important meeting this afternoon and couldn’t make it, s <b> </b>sent me to pick you up. You must be tired after the flight. I’ll take you to your hotel first. This evening, our CEO will host a wee dinner at Greenfair Hotel,” Bill said.


    Damon wore <b>a </b>rxed smile. “Thank you for the hospitality, Mr. Jenkinson.”


    “You’re too kind, Mr. Sumner. This way to the parking lot.”


    On the way to the hotel, Damon introduced N and Spencer to Bill.


    When Bill learned that N was the evaluation specialist, he looked at her with renewed interest.


    “I didn’t expect someone so young to be dedicated to testing. It’s true that you can’t judge <b>a </b>book by its cover,” Billmented.


    Earlier, upon noticing how attractive N was, Bill had assumed she <b>was </b>Damon’s secretary and felt somewhat disdainful. He had encountered many beautiful women apanying business partners who were essentially mistresses posing as secretaries.


    -Anyone could perform a secretary’s job, but an evaluation specialist required expertise. This included recognizing all the equipment and ing effectiveponents from the medicinal ingredients.


    The coboration with Prospectus Technology relied heavily on the evaluation specialist, so Bill’s gaze at


    N was now more respectful.


    N smiled graciously. “You’re too kind, Mr. Jenkinson


    Noticing Bill’s gaze lingering on N, Damon furrowed his brow imperceptibly.


    Upon sensing Damon’s displeasure, Spencer quickly interjected, “Mr. Jenkinson, Mr. Sumner is very interested in the cultivation of your medicinal herbs. Could you tell us more about it?”


    This sessfully diverted Bill’s attention, and he turned to discuss it with Damon.


    Spencer secretly breathed a sigh of relief as the cold atmosphere seemed to lighten. His intuition had been right…


    But was Damon’s focus on N purely because she was his niece–inw, or was there another reason? Spencer didn’t dare to delve too deeply into it.


    Upon reaching the hotel, Bill escorted them to their rooms and then left.


    Since there were only three of them on this trip and N was the only woman, they had booked three separate rooms.


    N unpacked her luggage and was about to sit down when her phone rang.
