Chasing the Unexpected

Chapter 582

Nyla turned around and said indifferently, “Alright, I won’t see you out, Mr. Sumner.”

Damon’s gaze darkened further as he sensed her dismissive attitude. He knew she wouldn’t call him. Even if she didn’t, it was fine–the principal would notify him.

“Goodbye,” he replied.

After Damon left, Oliver hesitated for a moment before asking how Damon had ended up coming back with them that day.

Nyla couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. “You’ve been holding that in for a while, haven’t you?”

Oliver exchanged a glance with her and laughed. “I’m just a bit curious.”

Nyla briefly recounted how Mason had gotten into a fight at school and how Damon had arrived not long

after her.

After hearing this, Oliver frowned. “Nyla, with something that serious happening, why didn’t you contact me?”

Nyla pressed her lips together and looked down. “I was too anxious at the time. It didn’t occur to me.”

Besides, she had just learned that Oliver had been forced to resign because of her and Mason. Even if she had remembered, she wouldn’t have called him. She had already caused him enough trouble and didn’t want to burden him again.

“Well, just remember not to forget next time,” Oliver reminded her.

“Okay,” Nyla replied.

Looking at her serene profile, Oliver said softly, “Don’t worry about me leaving the Raynor Group. I can

handle it.”

Leaving the Raynor Group was only temporary. He had other plans outside the company. If he couldn’t return, he would build his own business empire from scratch.

Nyla opened her mouth to reply, but Oliver’s phone suddenly rang.

Seeing it was Hugh, he frowned but answered the call.

“Dad, what’s up?” he asked.

“You need to come back right now. I have something to discuss!” Hugh ordered.

Just as Oliver was about to respond, he heard a busy signal.

He looked at Nyla with a helpless expression. “I wanted to have dinner with you and Buddy, but it looks ike I can’t. My dad wants me back.”

“There will be plenty of chances in the future. Take care of your matters first,” Nyla assured him.

“Yeah,” Oliver replied.

Chapter 582

After leaving Nyla’s home, Oliver drove straight back to his house.

As soon as he stepped into the living room, Hugh threw a document at his feet. “Oliver, I didn’t expect you to have this kind of capability! You think you’re impressive?!”

Looking at Hugh’s furious face, Oliver felt confused as he picked up the document.

When he saw that it was related to the Keithstone Group’s resort project, he was taken aback. “The Keithstone Group wants to collaborate with the Raynor Group?”

Hugh scoffed. “What are you pretending to be confused about? The Keithstone Group said they would only sign the deal with the Raynor Group if you were the CEO. That’s why you resigned so easily today–l knew you were waiting for this!”

Oliver frowned. “What do you mean? I spoke to the Keithstone Group, but they said the Raynor Group wasn’t on their list of potential partners. That’s why I gave up on the project. How could they-”

“You know exactly what’s going on! If you want to return to the Raynor Group so much, fine, but Fred must become vice CEO!” Hugh laid down his terms.

Oliver didn’t understand why the Keithstone Group would make such a demand, but it didn’t matter now. No matter how he explained, Hugh wouldn’t believe him.

He slowly raised his gaze to meet Hugh’s and spoke deliberately. “Dad, I want to ask you why you’re treating me like this. I’ve been the CEO of the Raynor Group for five years and thought I was doing a good job. Why, just because of one mistake, did you force me to resign? Does my hard work over these five years mean nothing to you?!”
