"You think standing up for Rebecca will get you a partnership with Prospectus Technology? Idiot!" Although Connor had been thinking along those lines, being called out by Erin before everyone made his face darken with anger.
"I think you're just bitter because you can't get the man you want, and now you're lashing out at everyone," he taunted.
"You-" Erin was livid. She shot to her feet and said coldly, "You'll regret this!" With that, she spun around and stormed out of the room.
Throughout the ordeal, Damon watched the scene unfold with an indifferent expression, not a hint of emotion on his face.

Despite the apparent calm, Rebecca couldn't shake her unease.
In the past, even if someone spoke ill of her behind her back, Damon would never have let it slide if he found out. Yet just now, Erin had called her a homewrecker to her face, and Damon hadn't even reacted.
It seemed he truly didn't love her anymore. If it weren't for the favor of saving his life, which she used to blackmail him, he probably wouldn't even let her near him. The thought made her chest tighten. Rebecca stood up and told everyone with a forced smile, "You all keep chatting. I need to use the restroom." After stepping out of the room, she took a deep breath, hoping to release her frustration with the exhale, but it didn't help.
She walked to the window at the end of the hallway, pulled out a cigarette, and lit it. Her expression was full of irritation. Whether Damon loved her or not, she had to marry him.
Meanwhile, the enraged Erin was about to leave after storming out of the room when she spotted Nyla. Her eyes narrowed as she changed course and headed straight for her.
Nyla was talking with Valarie when a voice interrupted them. She turned her head and saw Erin, her expression immediately turning cold.
There was no point in pretending to be friendly-they had already fallen out.
Erin didn't care about Nyla's frosty demeanor. Smirking, she said slowly, "Ms. Nyla, I really admire how calm you are." Nyla remained impassive. "Ms. Hulle, haven't you learned that it's rude to interrupt people when they're eating?" Erin's tone was dripping with sarcasm, her gaze full of disdain "Is it because Damon kicked you to the curb without hesitation as soon as Rebecca returned that you're in such a bad mood, Ms. Jayston? She had assumed Damon was truly into Nyla, but apparently not. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten back together with Rebecca. Nyla frowned, about to respond, but Valarie couldn't hold back any longer. "Erin, are you insane? You cover here just to ruin our meal? "Even if Nyla and Damon broke up, at least they were together. You've been trying everything to get with Damon, and he doesn't even give you a second glance, does he?" That hit a sore spot.

Erin sneered. "So what if they were together? He dumped her in no time. To Damon, she was just a distraction while Rebecca was away!" Valarie slammed her cutlery onto the table, glaring at Erin. "Keep spewing your nonsense, and I'll tear your mouth off!" Erin scoffed. "I'm just telling the
eavin truth. Oh, by the way, Damon is hosting a welcome-back party for Rebeeea in Room 1XIf you don't want to embarrass yourselves, I suggest you finish eating and leave." With that, she walked away with a smile and her chin held high. Valarie, shaking with anger, stood up and started toward Room 1. Nyla quickly got up and grabbed her arm. "Valarie, don't go."
"Letgo! I'm going to crash that st got back, and party! Rebecca just Damon's already broken up with you.
This is too much!" Valarie hissed. "I was the one who ended things, and I don't want anything more to do with them," Nyla said.
