"Mr. Sumner, what brings you here?" Nyla asked.

Seeing Nyla's composed demeanor, Richard frowned, his tone condescending. "Name your price, as long as you agree to let Cyrus go."

Nyla remained calm. "And how much are you offering?

"That depends on your demand. The incident happened so many years ago. Even if you send Cyrus to prison, I can still find a way to get him out. Stubbornness won't benefit you," Richard stated. Nyla stood up, her tone flat. "Since you've put it that way, there's no point in continuing this conversation." Richard's expression turned icy. "What do you mean by that?"

Gabriel, who hadn't returned to Saintornia for years, was unfamiliar with the area. He didn't insist on choosing a place himself and gave Nyla the name of his hotel.

After hanging up, Nyla made a reservation and pondered why Gabriel had suddenly returned to the city. Given his career prospects abroad, it seemed he would have better opportunities elsewhere. Unable to reach a clear conclusion, she decided to set the thought aside.

Later, as Nyla was about to leave work, she received a text from Damon asking her to wait for him so they could go home together.

Nyla stared at the text for a moment before replying that she had plans for dinner.

Moments later, Damon called her directly. "Who are you having dinner with?"

"A friend," she replied.

Damon frowned. He knew Nyla's close friend in the city was likely Valorie. If it were her, Nyla would have
