“Mr. Damon…” Spencer called out.

The moment Damon turned around, Spencer’s steps faltered.

The look in Damon’s eyes was completely different from the blank, lifeless gaze he had after Nyla’s fall

into the ocean.

Now, his eyes were cold and distant, reminiscent of the ruthless and decisive CEO of Prospectus Technology from before.

It was clear that Richard’s hypnosis had worked.

“What’s the matter?” Damon asked.

Richard sat across from Damon, his gaze fixed darkly on Spencer. He planned to handle any inappropriate remarks from Spencer privately if necessary.

Spencer stood still, his eyes lowered, and remained silent.

Compared to the emotionless Damon he had encountered after Nyla’s death, Spencer found this version of Damon to be preferable.

For the living, perhaps forgetting was indeed the better option.

As Spencer remained silent, Damon frowned slightly.

Richard’s expression darkened, and he signaled to Frank beside him. If Spencer mentioned Nyla in front of Damon, his men would take him away immediately.

Spencer finally looked up at Damon and said calmly, “Mr. Damon, I just wanted to remind you that there’s an important meeting this afternoon at 3:00 p.m.”

“Got it. Wait outside for me. We’ll return to the office in ten minutes,” Damon replied.

“Understood, Mr. Damon,” Spencer answered.

After Spencer left, Damon turned to Richard. “I’ll consider taking over the Sumner Group, but Prospectus Technology remains my top priority.”

Richard nodded. “Alright. Take your time to think about it.”

Damon stood up. “I’ll head back then.”

As Damon left the Sumner residence and got into the car, he turned to Spencer and asked, “While I was in a coma from the car accident, did anything important happen at the company?”

Just before leaving the residence, a maid informed Spencer that Richard’s explanation for Damon’s memory loss was a coma resulting from a car accident, and he was instructed to keep quiet about it.

Spencer paused for a moment before replying, “The company has been operating normally. Nothing major has happened.”

“Alright,” Damon replied.

With that terse response, he fell silent, leaning back in his seat and closing his eyes to rest.

Seeing Damon revert to his old self, Spencer felt as though he were witnessing a scene from another lifetime.

Everything seemed the same, but no one would ever mention Nyla in front of Damon again, and he would never remember that he once loved her.

Five years later…

In Hall 1 of the Capitarnia International Conference Center, a woman in a light green suit with wavy hair stood on stage holding a microphone. She was presenting her recent research replaceings with a smile.

The audience was packed, with the front rows filled with prominent figures from both domestic and international pharmaceutical research.

After presenting her replaceings, the room erupted in enthusiastic applause.

Once Nyla Kinsey left the stage, she checked the time and quickly began packing up.

“Caroline, I need to pick up Buddy soon, so I might miss tonight’s celebration banquet. Can you please let Professor Kington know?” Nyla asked.

Caroline looked at her with some resignation. “Tonight’s event is mainly to celebrate your breakthrough with the Alzheimer’s drug.

“You’re the star of the show, and Professor Kington mentioned that an important investor will be attending. You know the drug best. Don’t you think you should introduce it to the investor?”

Nyla answered swiftly, “You’ve been involved in the research too, so you can handle it. And you know I don’t like these kinds of events. I’m running out of time. I need to go. Bye!”
