Damon was indifferent as he replied, "Got it. Don't worry about it."
No matter how much noise they made, they couldn't take away his shares in the Sumner Group. They were nothing but clowns.
In the hospital...
Clark's eyes were cold as he read the online comments attacking Damon. He refused to believe that Damon wouldn't clarify the situation. Once he did, Clark would immediately release the video of Richard accusing Damon of being unfilial for not returning the company after taking it. By then, Damon would have no way to defend himself.
As the morning wore on and more people joined in condemning Damon, there was still no response from him.
Cyrus began to feel uneasy and asked, "Clark, do you really think this plan will work?"
Cyrus had been skeptical of Clark's idea when he brought it up the previous night. He knew Damon simply wasn't the type to care about his reputation.
"Dad, don't worry. Uncle Damon won't be able to resist responding," Clark replied through gritted teeth.
Cyrus sighed deeply. "Clark, if this plan fails, just take the shares from your grandfather and be a shareholder in the company."Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
He knew full well that he and Clark weren't a match for Damon-he just didn't want to dampen Clark's spirits before the confrontation.
"Dad, you don't really think Grandpa will give me all the shares, do you? Don't forget about Brandon!" Clark hissed.
Since returning, he had investigated and found that Brandon had achieved considerable success in the company over the years. Richard was quite pleased with him.
If Clark failed to confront Damon this time, they would never catch Richard's eye again.
Once the company fell entirely into Brandon and Damon's hands, how could their family of three maintain their lavish lifestyle with millions in allowances each month?
Cyrus replied with a frown, "But... we can't compete with your uncle."
"We still have to fight! Doesn't he have a son?" Clark shot back.
Cyrus' heart skipped a beat uтov seeing the cold glint in Clark's eyes. He exclaimed, "Are you out of your mind?! That's a child!"
Clark looked up at him and said unemotionally, "Blame him for being Damon's son!"
The thought of being unable to have
children while Nyla had given birth to Damon's son filled him with rage. He wished he could crush Damon into dust. That child should have been his with Nyla! to
Cyrus suddenly felt as if he hardly recognized his son. Despite spending nearly every day together for years, he now sensed a profound estrangement.
"Clark... some things, once done, can't be taken back. You need to think this through!" he advised.
Just as Clark was about to respond, a sudden fit of coughing came from the hospital ward. He fell silent, pushed the door open, and walked into the
room.
Cyrus watched his son's back, filled with unease.
At 2:00 p.m, Clark released the video he had recorded with Richard when Damon still had no intention of clarifying matters. Once the video was posted, it sparked heated discussions. to
[This is outrageous! He has no conscience, letting his own father get so angry that he ends up in the hospital and refusing to visit! It's clear the rich can abandon anything for profit!] to
[This man is morally bankrupt. He has no humanity, treating his own father so cruelly!]
[Compared to Damon, Clark is a much better grandson. He stayed by Richard's side all night, only resting after confirming that Richard was out of danger.]
Public outrage grew, with a torrent of accusations and insults flooding in, eventually drawing the ire of Prospectus Technology's shareholders. While Damon was in his study handling documents, he received a call from a shareholder.
"Mr. Sumner, if public opinion continues like this, it will only harm the company's and your reputation, which isn't good for its development," the shareholder said.
