Chapter 488

“Let me go!” Damon struggled to move forward, but two of his bodyguards held him back tightly.

“Mr. Sumner, Ms. Jayston has already jumped. Even if you follow her now, it won’t help… the bodyguards. tried to placate him.

“Let go!” Damon growled.

His demeanor was icy, sending chills down the spines of his bodyguards. They felt a shiver but dared not release him.

Just then, Spencer arrived.

“Mr. Sumner, I’ve sent people down to search. We’ll have news soon,” he informed Damon.

Seeing Damon gradually calm down, Spencer instructed the bodyguards, “Alright, let Mr. Sumner go.”

After a moment’s hesitation, the bodyguards finally released Damon, though their eyes remained on him, prepared for any sudden movements. If someth Damon gazed at the place where Nyla had jumped, his voice cold. “If she’s alive, I want to see her. If she’s dead, I want to see her body!”

As he finished speaking, Steven was brought before him.

“Mr. Sumner, this is Ms. Jayston’s kidnapper. What should we do with him?” one of the bodyguards asked.

Damon’s bloodthirsty gaze fell on Steven, who collapsed to his knees in terror.

“M–Mr. Sumner, I was forced to do this. P–

Please spare me! Rebecca threatened my loved ones. If I didn’t comply, she would have killed them… I’m sorry. Steven begged.

Damon remained unmoved by his pleas. He questioned, “Your family’s lives matter, but others‘ lives don’t?

Steven froze, trembling uncontrollably, unable to meet Damon’s gaze.

Damon had no intention of looking at him any longer. Coldly, he said, “Since she’s in danger, then you and your family will accompany her in death!”

Steven, paralyzed with fear, dared not tremble. He remained frozen in place, his eyes filled with terror.

Suddenly, he began to slam his head on the ground. “Mr. Sumner, please spare my family. I’m willing to trade my life for Ms. Jayston’s. Please… My girlfriend is pregnant, and she’s innocent… It’s my fault…”

The force of Steven’s slams quickly broke his forehead, blood mingling with the flow from his left eye. The gruesome sight covered most of his face, crea image.

Spencer, watching from the side, couldn’t help but speak up.

“Mr. Sumner… he was forced into this. Maybe you could spare his family. They’re truly innocent.”

Damon’s expression remained unmoved. “His family may be innocent, but is Nyla not innocent?”

Spencer sighed. “In the end, this is all Rebecca’s fault. He had no choice. If Ms. Jayston were here, she wouldn’t want innocent people to suffer-

“Quiet!” Damon barked, his face darkening as his anger threatened to erupt. “Either do as I say, or scram!”

Under Damon’s icy gaze, Spencer dared not argue further and quickly signaled for the bodyguards to take Steven away.

The area below where Nyla had jumped was the ocean After three days of searching, not only had they failed to find a body, but even her personal belongings were missing.

Throughout these three days, Damon had not slept, relentlessly searching for Nyla.

Typically, a search would be considered a lost cause after three days without any leads. However, Damon insisted on widening the search area and vow By the fourth evening. Damon’s body could no longer handle the strain, and he collapsed, ending up in the hospital.

Upon receiving the news, the Summers rushed to the hospital.

When Damon awoke to find himself in the hospital, the first thing he did was rip out his IV and try to get out of bed to continue the search for Nyla.
