An hourter, Gabriel stormed into the CEO’s office at Prospectus Technology.


    A dozen security guards trailed behind, but none managed to stop him.


    He marched up to Damon’s desk<b>, </b>mmed his fists down hard, and grabbed Damon by the cor, his eyes bloodshot with rage.


    “Damon, you’re responsible for N’s death, and you act like nothing happened? I won’t let you get away with this!” Gabriel growled.


    Damon shrugged off his hands and stared at him coldly. “Get out.”


    Gabriel sneered. “This matter isn’t over! You’d better watch out!”


    With that, he turned and stormed out.


    Damon watched Gabriel’s retreating figure with a nk expression.


    Spencer, trembling, stood by the office door. “Mr. Sumner… I’m sorry…”


    “Get out,” Damon replied simply.


    Given the force with which Gabriel had grabbed him, it was no surprise the security guards couldn’t stop him.


    Spencer quickly exited the office, instructing the guards at the door to return to their posts.


    Since N had fallen into the sea, Damon appeared emotionally numb–indifferent to everything and incapable of anger.


    Spencer felt anxious but helpless. From N?velDrama.Org.


    After leaving Prospectus Technology, Gabriel headed straight to the hospital.


    Wren was getting water when she saw him, her face lighting up with joy. “Gabriel, I thought you wereing in the evening?”


    Gabriel looked at her coldly. “When did you find out about N’s fall into the sea?”


    Wren’s smile froze, and her brow furrowed<b>. </b>“You came to the hospital just to ask me <b>this</b><b>?</b><b>” </b>


    “Otherwise? N is my sister. She fell into the sea a month ago, and you didn’t even send me a message, Gabrielined.

    Seeing the questioning look in Gabriel’s eyes, Wren gnashed her teeth. “I didn’t want to disturb you. Before you left for abroad, you said you couldn’t use your phone, so I didn’t contact you.”


    ‘Disturb me? Do you think a human life is less important than my work? I gave you an emergency number before I left. Why didn’t you contact me immediately?” Gabriel demanded.


    If Wren had contacted him when N fell, there might have been a chance to find her. Now that a month had passed, the chances of finding N alive were slim.


    Gabriel’s eyes were filled with frost.


    If Wren weren’t his mother, he wouldn’t let her off so easily.


    Upon meeting his using gaze, Wren’s heart grew cold.


    “Gabriel, you’ve been missing for a month and returned just to question me about this? Am I the culprit? Did I kill N? Even if I <b>had </b>told you then, could you have reached the seaside in time to save her?” she


    retorted.


    To Wren, N was just an outsider. Seeing her carefully nurtured son question her over her stepdaughter was uneptable.


    “She’s not just anyone–she’s my sister!” Gabriel growled.


    Wren scoffed. “Sister? Did she ever see you as a brother? All these years<b>, </b>she showed respect outwardly but never considered me or <b>us </b><b>as </b>family. Yet, you’re eager to be her brother-


    “Enough!” Gabriel interrupted coldly, his eyes filled with rage. “You keep saying she didn’t see you as an elder, but did you ever see her as your daughter?”


    “What do you want me to do? Compensate her with my life?” Wren shot back.


    “Forget it. I don’t want to argue about this anymore. I’m going to see Harrison,” Gabriel said tly.
