rk gnashed his teeth, feeling a surge of anger. It was clear that Richard was favoring Damon.This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.
Unlike Damon, however, <b>rk </b>didn’t have his ownpany and couldn’t afford to defy Richard.
He quickly lowered his head and spoke in a guilty tone. “You’re right, Grandpa… I acted on impulse. Besides, Jordyn is carrying my child…”
“Enough. I don’t want to hear about your rtionship problems anymore. You can go now,” Richard cut him off sharply.
Seeing the irritation in Richard’s expression, rk took a deep breath and forced a smile. “Alright.”
As soon as Damon and N left the Sumner residence, Damon finally released N’s hand.
“Why did youe here, knowing you’d be put through the wringer?” Damon’s voice carried a hint of anger, making N bite her lip nervously.
She looked up at him, her gaze filled with concern. “I didn’t want you to keep getting hurt because of me.”
Richard was Damon’s father, so she knew Damon wouldn’t fight back.
Originally, she had only nned to use Damon and hadn’t intended toe over. But when she saw the photo rk had sent, her heart clenched painfully. At that moment, <b>she </b>realized she had truly fallen for Damon and couldn’t just stand by while he got hurt.
Damon was silent for a moment before speaking in a low voice. “I’ll let it slide this time, but don’t be so impulsive in the future.”
He was there today to protect her, but if he hadn’t been<b>, </b><b>she </b>might have been bullied.
“Well, it depends on the situation,” N replied honestly.
If he was hurt, there was no way she could just ignore it.
Damon frowned, about to say something, but N cut him off, “Alright, enough lecturing. Your back is seriously injured. I’m taking you to get it treated.”
She grabbed his <b>hand </b>and led him to the car.
The warmth of her touch seemed to melt the coldness in his heart.
Just as they reached the car, rk’s mocking voice echoed behind them. “N, are you happy now that you’ve driven a wedge between Uncle Damon and my grandfather?”
N frowned, a wave of disgust washing over her. rk was like a cockroach–impossible to kill or get cd of, always there to make things worse.
She turned to face him. “I’ll be happy when you’re finally kicked out of the Summers and struggling at every
turn<b>.</b>”
rk’s expression froze, but then he let out a coldugh. “Too bad, that day will nevere.”
“Don’t be so sure. You’ve already been kicked out of the Sumner Group, and Jordyn doesn’t have the skills toe up with a patent that could get you back in, does she? fi retorted.
She stared at rk coldly, not noticing the dangerous gleam in Damon’s eyes when she mentioned the patent.
Panic shed in rk’s eyes. Afraid N would reveal the truth about the patent in front of Damon, he gritted his teeth and said, “We’ll see about that!”
He quickly turned and walked away.
N watched rk’s retreating figure before turning back to see Damon staring at her. She blinked, surprised. “What is it? Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Nothing.” Damon replied coolly and got into the car without another word.
N stood there, staring through the window at Damon, who was deliberately avoiding her gaze. Confusion swirled in her mind.
Was he angry? But why?
As she settled into the driver’s seat, she hesitated for a moment before asking, “Are you mad at me?
