NovelBookThe lawyer beside Gabriel quickly began negotiating the compensation with Prospectus Technology's legal representative.
Once they agreed on the amount, the Prospectus Technology lawyer returned to the company to inform Damon. Damon's expression remained cold. "He can afford to pay hundreds of millions?"

Regardless of his capabilities, it was unlikely he had accumulated such a fortune in just a few years. The lawyer handed Damon a check. "Mr. Sumner, this is the check Gabriel has issued."

"Okay. I completed my resignation process before this incident happened. J'll cby the office to collect my things tomorrow. If you're available tomorrow night, I'd like to invite you to dinner," Nyla said.
QUMS Damon's grip on the phone tightened involuntarily. After tomorrow night's dinner, he would have no more excuses to see Nyla.

When the call ended, his expression grew bitter as he stared at the phone for a long time.
