Chasing the Unexpected

Richard was seething with anger. “The Sumner Group’s subsidiaries aren’t freebies to be handed out casually!”

He had planned to leave the company to Damon because neither Clark nor Brandon could lead the Sumner Group effectively–they would only drive it into decline.

“If that’s the case, it’s none of my concern. If you’re unwilling to, you don’t have to,” Damon replied.

After all, Clark had little real ability. Damon had investigated and discovered that without Nyla transferring her patent to Clark, he would never have become the CEO of the Sumner Group.

Richard glared at him, gritting his teeth. “Don’t you know that I plan to leave the Sumner Group to you?! Clark and Brandon will be your support in the future. Straining your relationship with Clark only harms you!”

Damon remained calm, showing no signs of excitement or agitation over Richard’s intention to leave the Sumner Group to him.

“I have my own company to manage. I don’t have time to deal with the Sumner Group. However, if you were willing to let me acquire it and make it a subsidiary of Prospectus Technology, I wouldn’t mind,” Damon suggested.

“Dream on! I will never let the Sumner Group become a subsidiary of Prospectus Technology!” Richard snapped.

The Sumner Group was his life’s work. Turning it into a subsidiary of Prospectus Technology would be like destroying all his hard work.

Damon retorted, “If it’s impossible, then don’t mention leaving the Sumner Group to me again. I’m not interested and don’t have the time.”

With that, he walked over to his desk, sat down, and picked up some documents. “I need to work now. Please leave.”

Richard didn’t move. His sharp eyes remained fixed on Damon. “Are you really going to push Clark to the edge?”

Damon didn’t look up. “In business, there are winners and losers. If he’s outmatched and has high expectations but low skills, it’s only natural for him to lose the company.”

Seeing Damon’s determination, Richard felt himself sway slightly. He stepped back to steady himself and looked at Damon with disappointment.

“Damon, you’ll regret being so ruthless to your own family one day!” he scolded.

Then, he stormed out of the room.

Back at home, Richard threw a fit in his study, but his emotions remained turbulent.

Richard had always believed that Damon and the Sumner Group were a unified entity and had hoped Damon would lead the family business to greater heights.

It was now clear to him that since the day Damon started his own business, he likely had no intention of returning to the Sumner Group.

What good was a disobedient son?

The more he thought about it, the darker his expression grew, and the knuckles of the hand gripping the cane turned pale.

Hearing the commotion, Marie called out at the study door for a long time without receiving a response. When the noise from inside suddenly stopped, she became worried that something might have happened to Richard. She hurriedly called for a maid to bring the spare key.

Just as she was about to insert the key into the lock, the study door suddenly opened.

Richard emerged with a grim expression and said coldly, “Call Cyrus back for dinner tonight!”

Seeing he was alright, Marie finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked irritably, “What’s the matter with you? You’ve been silent in there for so long that you scared me to death. Didn’t you just warn me this morning not to get involved with Cyrus? Why the sudden change?”

“Just do as I say and stop asking questions!” Richard barked.

With that cold command, he slammed the study door shut once more.

When Cyrus received Marie’s call, he was pleased, knowing that Richard had taken his earlier comments to heart.
