    The next morning, Spencer entered Damon''s office with a grim expression, holding a document. "Mr. Sumner, you need to see this."


    Damon took the file and flipped through it, his face growing colder with every page.


    "Mr. Sumner, we''ve found evidence of Mr. Wakeham having close contact with Gabriel, but there''s no definitive proof that he leaked the Agihop 6th Gen data," Spencer reported.


    Damon''s tone was t but decisive. "It''s him."


    Only someone from the management team could have essed and leaked the Agihop 6th Gen data to Gabriel.


    Damon had initially dismissed the possibility of betrayal at the management level, assuming they wouldn''t jeopardize their own interests. Now, it was clear the incentives Gabriel offered had been too tempting to resist.


    "What''s the next step? Should we involve the police?" Spencer asked.


    Henry Wakeham was a key shareholder, holding 10% of Prospectus Technology''s shares. Over the years, he''d appeared loyal to thepany, making this revtion all the more shocking to Spencer.


    "No rush. Have Falcon investigate further to determine exactly whichpany secrets were leaked before we take action," Damon instructed. "Understood," Spencer replied.


    After Spencer left, Damon immediately called Brandon and asked him toe to Prospectus Technology.


    Within half an hour, Brandon arrived. "Uncle Damon, what''s so urgent?"


    "Prospectus Technology''s core data might have been leaked. Thepany could be facing bankruptcy soon," Damon stated.


    If Henry had truly handed over thepany''s core data to Gabriel, Prospectus Technology would be on the brink of a massive crisis.


    Brandon''s face turned ashen. "What? How could the core data have been leaked?"

    "There''s no point discussing how it happened now. Once you get back, start working on separating the Sumner Group from Prospectus Technology. Make sure the two arepletely disentangled," Damon instructed.


    Brandon hesitated. "Is that really necessary?"


    The Sumner Group and Prospectus Technology were deeply intertwined through various partnerships. Untangling them wouldn''t be easy-or quick. "It is," Damon confirmed.


    Taking a deep breath, Brandon nodded. "Got it. But... is Prospectus Technology really going to go under?"


    His gaze turned to Damon, lost and helpless.


    Over the years, Damon had been


    a mountain-leading Prosine


    Technology, shielding the Summer


    Group from storms, and creating opportunities for its growth.


    Now, the possibility of that mountain copsing was difficult for Brandon to ept.


    "It''s not certain yet. Just follow my instructions for now," Damon replied.


    Hearing the gravity in Damon''s voice, Brandon nodded reluctantly. "Alright, I''ll get to work."


    After Brandon left, Damon picked up a stack of documents but couldn''t focus on a single word.


    Frustrated, he tossed them aside


    and lit a cigarette. He didn''t smoke it,


    instead watching the thin trail of smoke curl upward as his mind churned.


    N woke up to find that Damon hadn''t returned home all night.


    After getting ready for the day, she arranged for a driver to take Mason to school, then packed up breakfast and headed to Prospectus Technology.
