Chasing the Unexpected

It took several minutes before Cyrus finally spoke in a low voice. “Mom is already gone, and Damon will soon hand the company over to Clark. Just pretend you don’t know about this. Bringing it up won’t do any good.”

Cindy sneered at him. “I’m not interested, but if you keep being soft–hearted toward Damon, then don’t bother calling Clark your son! Let’s see if Damon even cares about your compassion!”

Cyrus fell silent. After a long pause, he sighed deeply. Fine, I understand.”

At 8:00 p.m., Damon arrived at the Sumner residence right on time.

As soon as he walked in, the atmosphere in the living room became tense. In addition to Cyrus‘ family and Richard, Brandon was also present.

Richard looked at Damon expressionlessly. “Take a seat. On the table is the share transfer agreement for the company. As long as you sign it, I’ll let you see Dr. Herbert immediately.”

Damon walked over to the table, picked up the document, and calmly read through it.

He didn’t rush to sign. Instead, he looked up at Richard. “Isn’t this transfer agreement a bit unfair? The Sumner Group has made a lot of money over the years thanks to its partnership with Prospectus Technology.

“It’s one thing to give the company to Clark, but expecting me to hand over my shares for nothing–do you take me for a fool?”

The tension in the room thickened, and a chilling aura emanated from Damon. His gaze toward Richard

was ice–cold.

Richard gripped his cane tightly, the veins on his hand bulging with fury. “If you don’t transfer all the shares to Clark, how can I trust that you won’t go back on your word later?”

“I’m willing to transfer the shares, but he has to buy them at market price. I’m not interested in working for free! Damon stated.

Clark’s face turned ashen. He had been wasting time abroad for the past few years and didn’t have the money to buy the shares.

His

gaze shifted to Richard, the only person in the room with the means to purchase Damon’s shares.

However, Richard remained silent, his expression stern.

While he could afford to buy the shares, it would cost him most of his savings–something he was unwilling to do.

“I won’t give you a single cent. Either you exchange your shares for Dr. Herbert’s help in recovering your memory, or you can forget about finding him again!” Richard threatened.

Brandon, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up. “Grandpa, aren’t you being too harsh on Uncle Damon? Prospectus Technology has helped the Sumner Group immensely over the years, and you know it. Now you’re kicking him while he’s down–is that fair?

“Moreover, you were the one who decided to hypnotize Uncle Damon five years ago, and now you’re using Dr. Herbert to threaten him. I’m starting to wonder–do you see him as your son or your enemy?”

The fact that Richard had arranged for Damon to be hypnotized five years ago had been kept from Brandon. Had he known, he would have tried to stop it. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Richard was so furious at Brandon’s words that he felt he might explode. Did he really just accuse him of kicking Damon while he was down?!

“Shut up! What do you know?! This doesn’t concern you tonight! Leave now!” Richard ordered.

Brandon raised an eyebrow. “I’m also a member of the Sumners. Why shouldn’t I be here?”

“You!” Richard snapped, turning livid. If the timing weren’t so inconvenient, he would have used his cane to drive Brandon out.

Clark’s gaze was icy as he looked at Brandon. “Since you’re so concerned about Uncle Damon, why don’t you transfer the shares you own to me instead?”
