Chapter 214

"Mr. Sumner, long time no see. I heard Prospectus Technology recently invested in the government project in the east suburb."

"I'm also interested in that project. I wonder if you could give me a chance to get a piece of the action, Mr. Sumner?"

Damon, who lacked the patience for idle chat, reluctantly paused to acknowledge the men speaking as it was Marie's birthday party. He greeted them with little enthusiasm. "Good evening, Mr. Lowe."

While Damon was being cornered by business associates, Nyla had already dismissed the man she was speaking with and was seeking a quiet place to rest. Suddenly, a maid from the Sumners rushed up to her. "Ms. Jayston, Ms. Cindy has asked to see you. She's waiting for you at the pavilion in the garden."

Nyla glanced toward Marie. Seeing that Cindy was indeed absent, she frowned slightly. "Did she say what it's about?"

"No, but it seemed quite urgent. Ms. Jayston, you should go quickly," the maid urged.

"Understood. I'll go right away," she replied.

The maid had yet to leave, so Nyla said coolly, "Tonight's the party, and there are many guests. You should return to your duties."
