N reached out and hugged Damon. "I''m not going to leave you. Whether you''re the CEO of Prospectus Technology or just an ordinary person, you''re still the one I love. I love you-not thepany behind you."
"N, I''m sorry. I''ve been too sensitivetely," Damon said, his voice heavy with remorse.
"It''s not your fault. It''s normal to have moments of self-doubt when facing such a major setback. You just need to remember one thing: I''m never going to leave you. That''s all that matters," she replied softly.
Damon didn''t say anything more. Instead, he tightened his embrace around N.
Suddenly, the sound of small footsteps echoed through the quiet room.
They both turned toward the staircase and saw Masoning downstairs in his pajamas.
Damon released N and faced the boy. "Buddy, why aren''t you asleep yet?"
Without answering, Mason ran up to them, clutching a card in his small hands. He held it out to Damon. "Daddy, I heard yourpany is in trouble because there''s no money. This is the money I''ve saved over the years."
Seeing the card in Mason''s hand, Damon felt a lump rise in his throat.
"Buddy, you should keep this for yourself. Don''t worry about thepany. Daddy will figure it out," he said gently.
Mason, determined, ced the card firmly in Damon''s hand. "Daddy, you can use this first. You can pay me back after you make the money back." Damon''s eyes grew misty as he looked at Mason''s earnest expression. He knew the amount in Mason''s ount likely wasn''t much-nowhere near enough to pay his employees'' wages-but it was everything his son had.
Damon epted the card with a solemn nod. "Thank you, Buddy. I''ll make sure to use this money wisely."
"Okay," Mason said with a bright smile.
Satisfied that his father had epted the card, Mason wished them goodnight and headed back upstairs.
Once Mason''s small figure disappeared at the top of the staircase, Damon turned to N. "You set up this card for him, right? It''s where his gift money and allowances go?"
N nodded. "Yes. It''s probably umted a few thousand over the years."
For a child Mason''s age, it was a small fortune.
Damon handed the card back to her. "You should hold onto it for him."
N shook her head. "It''s a gesture

of love from our son. Even though it''s a small amount, it means something. You should keep it. The
PIN is his birthday." swnovel
Damon considered this for a moment before nodding. "You''re right. I''ll keep it for now."
"It''ste. Let''s go to bed," N suggested.
"Okay," Damon agreed.
The next morning, Damon arrived at the office early. There was still much to handle following the bankruptcy filing.
As soon as he stepped into his office, Spencer knocked and entered. "Mr. Sumner, Prospectus Technology''swsuit against Nyce Tech for illegally stealing trade secrets has entered the filing stage. The trial date should be set soon."
Damon nodded. "Good. Keep a close eye on it."
"Sure. I''ll head out now," Spencer said before leaving.
Left alone, Damon opened hisptop and began working on post-bankruptcy matters.
However, amotion outside soon interrupted him.
Frowning, he stood and stepped out of his office, only to find Gabriel standing there.
Damon''s expression darkened instantly. "What are you doing here?"
Gabriel smiled. "Mr. Sumner, I''m here to discuss business with you."
ncing at the bodyguards behind Gabriel, Damon let out a coldugh. "This doesn''t look like a business discussion. It looks more like you''re here to make trouble." S
Gabriel maintained his smile. "I can''t help it. Before I came, I figured you wouldn''t agree to meet me easily."
"If you want to talk, get the men behind you out of here immediately," Damon demanded.
Gabriel turned to his bodyguards. "Didn''t you hear? Mr. Sumner wants you to leave. Are you all deaf?"
