Damon’s expression turned icy as he looked at Erin and said, “Ms. Hulle, I hope you understand the implications of what you’re saying<b>.</b>”


    Erin smiled, showing no fear. “Of course I do. I wonder if you understand the consequences of your actions. Coveting your nephew’s wife–if this gets out, you know what will happen to Ms. N.”


    Damon’s eyes narrowed. “Are you threatening me<b>?</b>”


    “Not at all. I intend to help you,” Erin replied.


    Damon asked, “Oh? How exactly do you n to help me?”


    Sensing the cold aura around Damon, Erin took two steps closer and <b>said</b>, “Mr. Damon, you should know that even if Ms. N divorces your nephew, you two can never be together. But if you choose to be with me, I’ll help keep your secret.”


    Damon let out a coldugh, each word dripping with ice. “Ms. Hulle, I don’t like you and will never be with you.


    “If this gets out, Prospectus Technology will immediately cancel all contracts with Builders Property and never cooperate again. You should consider if Builders Property can handle those consequences.”


    Seeing the seriousness in his gaze, Erin realized he meant every word. How was he willing to risk everything with Builders Property just for N?!


    An oppressive silence filled the office.


    After a long pause, Erin finally spoke. “Rejecting me will be the biggest mistake you ever make.”


    Marrying her meant gaining control of Builders Property. Many menN?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.

    Damon’s expression remained unchanged. “Ms. Hulle, I have work to do. You may leave.”


    Biting her lip, Erin turned and left the office.


    The silence that followed was even more stifling, and Damon’s demeanor grew colder.


    Spencer knocked and entered. “Mr. Sumner, you’re scheduled to review Ms. Jayston’s experiment progress at ten. Should I-”


    <i>He </i>


    was abruptly cut off by Damon’s cold tone. “I’m not avable. Send Zachary. From now on, he’ll handle all updates on her experiment.”


    Spencer was surprised. If Damon wasn’t interested, why insist on N working there? The work could have been done at Park Pharmaceuticals just as well.


    “Understood,” he replied.


    After Spencer left, Damon took a deep breath, trying to suppress his irritation and focus on his documents. However, he couldn’t concentrate and soon tossed the papers aside, lighting a cigarette in frustration.


    At 10:00 a.m., N was separating solutions when Spencer arrived with a few men in suits.


    “Ms. Jayston, this is Mr. Zachary Keane from Prospectus Technology. He’ll be your new contact for the experiment. Any updates or needs should go through him,” Spencer said


    N was taken aback and asked, “Mr. Sumner isn’t overseeing this experiment anymore?”


    She remembered being sent here to ensure Damon could monitor the experiment’s progress.


    Spencer nodded. “Yes. Mr. Sumner is busy and won’t be able to follow up on this.”


    N pressed her lips together, realizing that Damon wasn’t too busy- he simply didn’t want to see her.


    A clear separation was probably for the best, sparing them both the awkwardness.


    “Alright, I understand,” she said.


    After N briefly updated Zachary on her experiment’s progress, the group of men left.
