Brandon sneered. “Don’t even think about it. I’d rather give my shares to a beggar than to someone like you–


    a schemer who expects everything without putting in any effort.”


    “You!” rk shouted, raising his fist and swinging it toward Brandon’s face.


    Before he could make contact, a bone–chilling


    voice stopped him. “If that punchnds, I can guarantee you’ll never set foot in the Sumner Group again.”


    Damon’s tonecked any hint of threat, but rk felt certain he meant every word.


    Richard snapped back to his senses, shouting, “rk! I didn’t call you here tonight to fight! If you want to fight, take it outside!”


    This provided rk with a way to back down. He lowered his hand


    and red at Brandon. “I’ll let you off tonight, but you’d better not have done anything illegal at thepany these past few years. When I tak


    Brandon scoffed. “You’re all talk with nothing in hand. If thepany ends up in the


    hands of someone useless like you, it’ll go bankrupt sooner orter.”


    randon, do you have a death wish?!” rk growled.


    Seeing rk clench his fist again, Cindy quickly stepped in to pull


    him back. “rk, there’s no need to argue with him now. Once you’re in charge, you can deal with him then.”


    Once rk took control of thepany, no matter how well Brandon


    performed, they could always find something to criticize and force him


    out. Arguing in the living room now would only make rk look ipetent.


    rk took a deep breath, angrily sitting down on the couch, his face dark.


    With the room finally quiet, Richard turned to Damon. “I won’t buy your shares at market price. The most I’ll offer is half the market price. If yo


    be seeing Dr. Herbert.”


    Damon’s expression remained calm as he replied, “Beforeing here today, I met with Spencer.”


    Surprise flickered in Richard’s eyes, but he quickly snorted. “So what? Does Spencer know where Dr. Herbert is?”


    “He told me about what happened five years ago. Back then, you had me hypnotized to


    make me forget N so that I would take over the Sumner Group.


    “Now, five yearster, you bring in a doctor to restore my memory just to wrest thepany from my hands. It’s clear the Sumner Group has


    Richard remained arrogant and dismissive as he stared at Damon. “So what? You’re the one who wants to restore your memory. You can’t ex


    Damon smiled and replied, “You’re right. That’s why I’ve decided not to restore my memory. You can tell Dr. Herbert to leave.”


    He got up and walked away.


    Everyone in the living room, except for Brandon, was stunned. They stared at Damon’s back in disbelief for several seconds.


    It wasn’t until Damon was nearly at the door that Richard snapped out of it, shouting, “Damon, stop right


    there!”


    This wasn’t how he had expected things to unfold. He hadn’t anticipated that Damon would choose not to restore his memory.


    Richard knew Damon was using this as leverage, but there was nothing he could do. After all, while Damon


    could choose not to regain his memory, he still needed to take the Sumner Group back from him.
