Nyla walked to the door and looked through the peephole, surprised to see Gabriel. They had just parted ways not long ago-why was he back? As Nyla hesitated whether to open the door, Gabriel's deep voice cfrom outside. "Nyla, after I got home, I suddenly remembered a detail that might be related to the data leak." Nyla's expression tensed. She opened the door slightly and asked, "What detail?" Gabriel's gaze hardened as Nyla had only cracked the door open and hadn't invited him in.
"Once, when Melody and I were having dinner, she received a call midway through and then mentioned she had left something in the lab and rushed off. I thought, with work the next day, what could be so urgent that she needed to go back that night?" Gabriel suggested.
A flicker of realization crossed Nyla's face. "If she went back to copy the data and give it to Contelligence, she probably wouldn't have told you she was going to the lab. She'd likely have used sother excuse." Gabriel looked down, shaking his head. "I'm not sure. I just remembered this and thought I should mention it. Maybe I'm overthinking it or just worried about you, so I didn't consider this possibility sooner." Nyla found his comments somewhat odd but chose not to dwell on them. "Thanks for your concern. Let's wait for the police investigation." As Gabriel was about to respond, the elevator dinged open.

Upon seeing Damon, Gabriel's eyes grew cold. His hands, which had been relaxed at his sides, tightened slowly. Nyla frowned. "Mr. Sumner, is there something you need?" Damon ang Gabriel were both dressed in silver-gray suits that day. One was aloof, while the other was warm. Together, they made quite a striking pair.
Despite this, Nyla wasn't in the mood to appreciate their appearance. Frustrated with the data leak, she was now further annoyed by the intrusion.
Damon's expression grew more somber due to Nyla's clear indifference. He had initially cto tell her he had broken up with Rebecca and hoped she might give him another chance. However, with Gabriel present, it clearly wasn't the right moment.
"I cto discuss the data leak," Damon said.
"If you need details, you can go to the police station. I've already given my statement to them today," Nyla replied.
Damon gritted his teeth and said quietly, "Aside from that, there's something else I want to discuss with you." "What is it?" Nyla asked, not understanding why she should engage with him further.

Damon didn't respond directly but glanced at Gabriel. Noting that Gabriel had no intention of leaving, he finally said coldly, "Mr. Hackett it's inconvenient to discuss this matter with Nyla in your presence. Could you please step aside?" "Mr. Sumner, I'm off work now. Nyla is my sister," Gabriel replied.
The implication was clear-there was nothing inconvenient about it.
Damon frowned, and his displeasure was evident.
Although Nyla felt uneasy about the situation, she didn't want to argue in't want with Damion and chose to remain silent.
"Mr. Hackett, you're not related to Nyla by blood. You're merely hem stepbrother Ner matters are not for you to manage," Damon asserted.
