Chapter 405 Gabriel offered a slight smile. “Mr. Sumner, haven't you heard the saying that an older brother is like a father? Nyla is quite innocent, so as her older brother, it's natural forto look after her." Gabriel and Damon locked eyes, and the atmosphere between them grew Icy. They each understood the other's unspoken message.

Damon didn't believe that a stepbrother would treat his stepsister as well as a real sibling. Furthermore, his investigation had shown that their relationship was poor.

Upon recalling the auction where Gabriel had deliberately competed with him for The Lone Tear, Damon's expression darkened.

"In that case, I should consider you a brother as well," Damon suggested.

Gabriel sneered. "I've never seen anyone as shameless as you." Nyla frowned at Damon. "Mr. Sumner, what exactly do you want to say? If you're finished, you can leave."

The speed dial is your number. Can you cpick her up?" When Nyla arrived at the bar, it was already 2:00 a.m. She navigated through the noisy main area and entered a private room to find Valarle passed out on the sofa.

Although Valarie often frequented bars, she rarely got this drunk. There must be a reason behind it.

Nyla frowned. Could this be about Tom?

She intended to comfort Valarie but soon realized that drunk people often had irrational reactions.

While trying to soothe Valarie, she becthe target of her distress. Valarie grabbed and scratched her, leaving stinging red marks on Nyla's arms and face.

Nyla couldn't help but think that if Valarie got drunk again, she might never cto her aid. It was too much of a hassle. Seeing that Valarie had finally fallen asleep, Nyla drove off.

What she didn't notice was that a black, unmarked car slowly started and followed her.
