“Do you really like her?” Richard’s voice was authoritative and stern, carrying the weight of his position.


    “Yes,” Damon answered,


    Richard’s eyes betrayed his irritation. “Then you’d better stop pursuing her, or the consequences will be more than the Jaystons can handle.”


    N reporting Cyrus to the police had crossed Richard’s bottom line. He couldn’t allow rk to be associated with her any longer, nor let the Sumners be embarrassed.


    Damon’s gaze turned icy as he met Richard’s eyes. “Dad, If you go after the Jaystons, I’ll go after the Sumner Group.”


    The Sumner Group was Richard’s lifelong achievement–his pride and creation.


    Richard’s gaze red with anger. “You really want to go against the Sumners for the sake of a woman?”


    “Dad, it’s not about going against you. It’s about you interfering with my feelings,” Damon replied.


    “If you were with any of the women your mother introduced, we wouldn’t have said a word. But you know N is your nephew’s wife, and you still choose to be involved with her. How can the Sumners hold their head high in the business world?” Richard demanded.


    “I like her for who she is. I don’t care what anyone else says,” Damon said inly.


    Richard sneered. “You don’t care. You have your ownpany now, and I can’t control you. If you truly want to be with her, then consider your mother and me dead. Never set foot in this house again!”


    With that, he stood up and left.


    After being unconscious for over an hour, Marie gradually regained consciousness. Her gaze swept around the bedroom, and when she didn’t see Damon, disappointment flickered in her eyes.


    “Where’s Damon?” she asked.


    Cindy frowned. She had been diligently <b>caring </b>for Marie, but as soon as Marie woke up, she asked for Damon without acknowledging Cindy’s presence. It was as if Cindy hadn’t been there at all.


    Cindy snorted. “Mom, don’t bother looking. He left shortly after you fainted<b>.</b><b>” </b>


    Marie’s face grew even paler, and she looked as though she might faint again.Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    Catherine quickly interjected, “Madam, Mr. Damon had to leave for work after receiving a call.”


    Seeing Marie’s color improve slightly, Catherine turned to Cindy with a look of dissatisfaction. “Mrs. Summer, I take care of Madam Summer. With everything that’s happened today, you must be exhausted. You should go home and rest.”


    Cindy had only stayed to keep up appearances anyway. She nodded. “Fine. If there’s anything, just call me


    at the vi.”


    Catherine nodded. “Sure.”


    After Cindy left, Marle grew sorrowful. She looked at Catherine, her volce choked with emotion. “How

    could Damon fall for N? There are so many women in Saintornia. Why would he choose his nephew’s wife? And there were no signs of it before<b>…</b>”


    Catherine quickly handed Marie a handkerchief. “Madam, try not to dwell on it right now. This isn’t something that can be resolved quickly. The most important thing is to deal with Mr. Cyrus‘ situation first. After that, we can try to persuade Mr. Damon.<b>” </b>


    Marie shook her head. “I doubt I can persuade him. Since he was a child, if he wanted to do something. no one could change his mind. But if he really insists on being involved with N, I’ll die in front of him!”


    “Madam, please don’t say such things. Moreover, Mr. Damon and N haven’t done anything yet. There’s still a chance to make things right,” Catherineforted.


    “If she dares to be with Damon, I won’t let her off!” Marie eximed.


    The idea of N trying to seduce Damon was even harder for Marie to ept than the fact that N had sent Cyrus to the police. After all, Cyrus‘ actions had indeed led to the Jayston family’s bankruptcy. While Marie was angry, she understood there was a reason behind it.


    But Damon was her pride, and N’s interest in him was shameless and audacious!


    Seeing Marie’s rage, Catherine realized she couldn’t ept Damon’s feelings for N and decided to stop trying to persuade her.


    After leaving the Sumner residence, Damon drove directly to find N.


    Upon arriving, he remained in the car, hesitant to get out.


    He had guessed that N was involved in Cyrus<b>‘ </b>arrest and was somewhat angry about it.
