Chapter 507

Richard’s expression was cold. “What do you know? Just do as I say! It’s her honor that she can help the Sumners one last time after her death!”

Seeing Richard’s resolute demeanor, Frank chose not to argue further and left the study.

That evening, Damon received another call from the Summer residence. This time, it was Richard himself on the line, not a maid.

“Come back immediately,” he ordered.

The commanding tone made Damon’s eyes narrow. “I’m busy. If it’s not something important, please stop calling me.”

“Very well! Fine!” Each of Richard’s words dripped with anger. “It seems your mother’s illness doesn’t matter to you! Let me ask you, are Nyla’s belongings important to you?!”

Damon tightened his grip on the phone. “Her belongings?!”

Hearing the agitation in Damon’s voice, Richard felt reassured that his decision was right. That woman would only cost Damon his life if he kept thinking about her!

With that thought, Richard’s earlier hesitation transformed into resolve. “Yes, her belongings are here. If you want them, come back for dinner. I have something to discuss with you. If you don’t want them, I’ll have the service staff burn them.”

“I’ll be there shortly,” Damon replied.

After hanging up, he immediately left the office.

On the way to the Summer residence, he couldn’t help but wonder why Richard was using Nyla’s belongings to coerce him into returning.

The morning’s call about Marie being sick and now the threat regarding Nyla’s belongings–it couldn’t just be about a simple dinner.

He called Spencer and instructed, “Check on what my father has been doing lately.”

“Understood, Mr. Sumner,” Spencer replied.

Within an hour, Damon’s car pulled up at the Sumner residence.

At the same time, Spencer’s call came in.

He reported, “Mr. Sumner, there hasn’t been much change in Mr. Richard’s behavior recently, except that he saw a doctor.”

Given the maid’s earlier call about Marie’s illness, Damon didn’t give it much thought. He asked, “Anything else?”

“Nothing else,” Spencer replied.

“Okay, got it.” Damon ended the call, got out of the car, and walked into the Sumner residence.

As he stepped into the living room, he sensed something was different from his last visit, though he couldn’t pinpoint what had changed.

A well–dressed foreigner was seated there.

Upon hearing Damon’s footsteps, he turned around with a smile. “Mr. Sumner, hello. I’m your mother’s doctor. You can call me Dr. Merritt.“, Damon regarded him with indifference, showing no interest. “Mm.”

Sean was unfazed by Damon’s aloofness and continued speaking with a smile. “Mr. Sumner, if you have time now, I’d like to discuss your mother’s condition with you.‘

”

Damon’s intuition told him that something was off about this doctor. He replied coldly, “No need. I have matters to attend to.”

With that, he turned and headed toward the study on the first floor.

He was there for Nyla’s belongings, not to waste time with a doctor.

Sean’s calm voice followed him. “Mr. Sumner, if you want to get what you came for, it’s best to speak with me first.”
