Melody took the payment slip with a deep breath. "Mom, go back to the ward and take care of Dad. I'll figure out the money." Her mother looked apologetic and uneasy. "Melody, I'm sorry... We don't have the money, and we're causing you trouble..." She knew her daughter didn't have that much money either. Apart from borrowing, there seemed to be no other way.

Her mother suggested, "Maybe I can ask your uncle for a loan... You-"

Before she could finish, Melody interrupted, "Mom, we've already borrowed a lot from him for the apartment down payment. We haven't even started repaying it yet, and asking for more might upset my aunt. I'll replace a way, so don't worry." "Alright..." her mother reluctantly agreed.

Melody took the payment slip and went to the end of the hallway to call her classmates and friends.

In the CEO's office of Prospectus Technology, Damon looked grim as he stared at Spencer. "Didn't I tell you that this matter must not be leaked?"

Spencer felt distressed. He had indeed instructed everyone who knew about the data leak to keep it quiet, but he didn't know how so many sensationalist accounts had obtained it.

"Mr. Sumner, I'll look into it immediately," Spencer replied.

"I'm giving you one hour. I don't want to see any more news about this issue within the hour!" Damon ordered.

He then stood up and headed for the door.

Spencer hurried after him. "Mr. Sumner, where are you going? I'll arrange for a car."

"No need. Just take care of the tasks I assigned," Damon answered coldly before leaving.

Once Damon's figure disappeared from view, Spencer let out a sigh of relief and cursed under his breath, wondering who had leaked the information. Whoever it was, he would make sure they paid for it! This situation seemed deliberately aimed at Nyla. Who hated her so much to go this far?

Spencer shook his head, dismissing the thought. He quickly set about removing the trending topic and investigating which account was the first to leak the news.

When the doorbell rang, Nyla was reading the so-called sensational news online. The details of her past with Damon were known only to a few, so the person behind the leak

must have been close to hero

No matter how she thought about it, Melody seemed the most likely suspect...

Yet, emotionally, Nyla found it hard to believe that Melody would do such a thing, especially since it wouldn't benefit her. Hearing the doorbell, Nyla walked to the door and found Damon standing there. After a moment of hesitation, she opened it. "Mr. Sumner, what brings you here?" she asked.

"You saw the trending news, right?" Damon inquired.

His gaze swept over her face, and he felt relieved to see her relatively calm.

Nyla noticed the concern in his eyes and lowered her gaze. "It's nothing. You came here because of this?"

"Yes, I'm worried about you," Damon replied.

Nyla frowned slightly, her tone cold. "Mr. Sumner, we've broken up. You don't need to worry about me."

"Nyla, you may not accept me, but you can't deny me the right to care for you and pursue you," Damon said.

Seeing him still as domineering as ever and disregarding her feelings, Nyla felt increasingly irritated.

"Well, I also have the right to reject you. You're bothering me even e it clear that I don't we
