Damon was furious that N had taken such a dangerous action without consulting him.


    On top of that, Cyrus had caused the Jaystons‘ bankruptcy, and Damon himself was a Sumner. He wasn’t sure if N might also harbor some resentment toward him,


    After sitting in the car for a long time, Damon was about to leave when he saw N walking out of her building in casual clothes, carrying two bags of trash. His gaze automatically settled on her, and his previously cold demeanor softened.


    N noticed Damon’s car as well and hesitated for a moment. After tossing the trash into the bin, she walked over to his car.


    As she stopped a few steps from the car, the window on the driver’s side rolled down. Their eyes met, and neither of them spoke for a while.


    Finally, N bit her lip and spoke slowly. “Uncle Damon, are you here… to reprimand me?*


    Damon’s gaze darkened, then he smirked. “If I were here to reprimand you, do you think you’d be standing here talking to me?”


    N turned pale and found it difficult to meet his gaze, instinctively lowering her eyes. “Then what brings you here?‘


    Seeing her evasive reaction, Damon frowned and abruptly opened the car door to get out.


    N froze, a wave of panic rising in her chest. She instinctively wanted to step back, but Damon’s deep voice stopped her. “Don’t move!”


    N stiffened as Damon quickly approached her. His height cast a shadow over her, and the unique scent of pine surrounded her, like a closing in.


    Her hands trembled at her sides, feeling an impending danger she couldn’t escape. Damon’s intimidating presence was overwhelming, and just his silence made her want to flee.


    “Uncle Damon, you….” N began.


    Damon’s touch was cool as he gently lifted her chin,pelling her to meet his gaze. His dark nyes seemed to draw her in, and her eyes flickered with panic. She clutched the hem of her clothes tightly.


    “You’ve sent my brother to the police. Now everyone in the Sumners despises you, and rk probably won’t help you. Did you ever think about what you’d do if the Sumners retaliated against you and yourBelonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    father?” Damon asked.


    His tone was t, but N’s eyes widened, and her body trembled slightly. She had only wanted to see Cyrus behind bars and hadn’t considered the possibility of retaliation from the Sumners.


    In truth, she hadn’t dared to think about it, knowing how easily the Sumners could crush her.


    She bit her lip hard and took a deep breath. “No matter what, I need to seek justice.”


    Upon seeing her determined expression, Damon’s eyes red with anger, and he tightened his grip on her


    chin.


    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…”


    Catherine quickly handed Marie a handkerchief. “Madam, try not to dwell on it right now. This <b>isn’t </b>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.”


    Marie shook her head. “I doubt I can persuade him. Since he was a <b>child</b>, 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‘ arrest and was somewhat angry about it.
