Chapter 537

After Luca left, Spencer put down his phone and contemplated his next move. From Luca’s reaction, he could confirm that Nyla’s child was Damon’s.

When he received the photo from his subordinate, he had initially suspected it might be fake. If the child had no connection to Damon, Nyla wouldn’t have agreed to meet him after receiving his message that day. That was why he had sought out Luca, who had previously seen the child.

The outcome was clear–the photo was likely a decoy from Nyla, designed to mislead him.

The more she tried to hide, the more it indicated her guilt. She was afraid he would realize how much the child resembled Damon.

Thinking back to how Richard had once threatened him about not mentioning Nyla to Damon, Spencer subconsciously clenched his hands at his sides.

After a moment’s hesitation, he dialed his subordinate’s number. “The photo you sent is fake. Start following Nyla. We need a clear shot of that child’s face.”

After hanging up, he frowned and considered what to do next.

Damon watched Spencer through the one–way glass in his office, his expression indifferent. He picked up his phone and made a call.

“Find out what Spencer has been doing on the side lately,” he instructed.

The documents Spencer had sent previously weren’t significant enough for him to visit in person. Furthermore, ever since arriving in Capitarnia, Spencer had seemed distracted, acting mysteriously and revealing little about his activities.

The voice on the other end sounded surprised, laced with mockery. “Why the sudden interest in Spencer? He’s been loyal to you for years. It’s unlikely h Damon’s gaze darkened as he replied tersely, “You talk too much.”

“Fine, I won’t say more. I’ll call you when I have news,” the other party said.

In less than half a day, Damon learned that Spencer was investigating Nyla.

He frowned. It was Nyla again. What could Spencer possibly want with her? They had no connection.

“Keep a close watch. Let me know the moment you find anything,” Damon instructed.

Meanwhile, Nyla received a call from Oliver, “Nyla, Damon’s secretary, is privately investigating Buddy. My people found out, and I had them switch Buddy’s photo with that of a boy in another class. But we can’t keep this hidden for long quickly,” Oliver informed her.

Nyla tightened her grip on her phone, panic rising within her. Spencer didn’t believe her!

For the past few years in Capitarnia, Oliver had helped her keep Mason’s existence a secret.

However, Mason had lived in Capitarnia for five years there were bound to be traces left behind. If Spencer uncovered the truth, it would mean Damon would find out as well.

Thinking of this, Nyla gritted her teeth. “How’s the preparation on your end? Buddy needs to leave the country within three days at the latest.”

“Three days is tight, but I can get all the paperwork done. Just remember, once Buddy is out of the country, you might not see him for a year. Are you really okay with that?” Oliver asked.

In Oliver’s view, even if the Sumners or Damon discovered Mason’s existence now, it wouldn’t pose a significant threat. After all, Nyla had raised Mason on her own for years without any help from the Sumners.

Moreover, Damon now had a fiancee and had seemingly forgotten about Nyla, so it was unlikely he would care much about Mason.

As long as they could convince Spencer, they could continue to keep Mason’s situation under wraps.
