Chapter 536

Damon looked at Erin with a straight face, his eyes narrowing slightly as he assessed the credibility of her words.

Erin felt her heart racing, forcing herself to maintain eye contact. Just as she thought she couldn’t bear the pressure any longer, she heard Damon’s cold It wasn’t until his figure disappeared through the doorway that she sank back into her chair, cold sweat trickling down her back.

Damon headed straight to the branch office after leaving the restaurant.

Spencer was already waiting for him at the office door. “Mr. Sumner, here are the documents that need your signature.”

Damon walked into the office, signed the documents, and then looked up at Spencer. “Have Luca take these back. You’ll stay here in his place. Things in Capitarnia are different from Saintorn Spencer lowered his gaze, hiding the complexity that flickered in his eyes. “Understood, Mr. Sumner.”

Once outside the office, Spencer instructed Luca to hand over his work and take the documents back to Saintornia.

After the handover, Luca was about to leave when Spencer suddenly called out to him.

“Luca, you’ve met Ms. Kinsey’s child before, right?” he asked.

Luca nodded, a puzzled expression on his face. “Yeah, but why do you ask? You’re not actually thinking of pursuing Ms. Kinsey, are you?”

Ever since Spencer saw Nyla’s lecture, he had been acting strangely, constantly inquiring about her- something he had never done with any other woman. Even with Damon’s fiancee, he sometimes didn’t spare her any tact.

“Not at all,” Spencer replied.

“Why are you so interested in Ms. Kinsey then?” Luca pressed.

“You don’t need to know that. Just look at this photo. Is this Ms. Kinsey’s child?” Spencer handed his phone to Luca, where the screen displayed a picture of a child about five years old. It had just been sent by his subordinate.

Luca glanced at the photo and frowned. “No. I only saw the child’s profile before, but something about it felt familiar. The face shape doesn’t match this picture at all–it’s clearly a different child.”

Upon seeing Spencer’s expression darken, Luca’s confusion deepened. Why was he inquiring about someone else’s child out of the blue?

Spencer fell silent, contemplating for a moment before pulling out another photo and showing it to Luca.

The moment Luca saw the second photo, his eyes widened in disbelief and shock. “Spencer, Ms. Kinsey’s child and Mr. Sumner-”

Before he could finish, Spencer interrupted. “That’s enough. Don’t ask questions you shouldn’t. Just prepare to head back to Saintornia.”

Luca wanted to inquire further, but seeing the serious look on Spencer’s face, he held back.

Having been Damon’s secretary for several years, he understood what was appropriate to say and what wasn’t. The resemblance between Nyla’s child and Damon w he had never considered.

It was no wonder he had found the child’s profile familiar that day–it was because the child looked like Damon.

However, when Damon met Nyla, they both seemed unaware of each other.

Luca had been by Damon’s side for years, and as far as he knew, there had been no interaction between Damon and Nyla.

If it were just a coincidence, Spencer wouldn’t have bothered to ask him about it.

Luca felt as though he had stumbled upon something significant, but he knew it was best to pretend he didn’t know anything and keep it to himself. If word got out, he would likely lose his job.
