TimeNovelChapter 1125 "I overheard it earlier. Apparently, Nyla is related by blood to a key member of the Nixons, but I don't know exactly who," Tom revealed.
To be honest, he didn't even know who the main members of the Nixons were. He had only heard of them but had never met anyone from that family.
From what he had gathered, even someone like Drake would need to schedule an appointment far in advance just to meet with them.
Damon's gaze hardened. His first thought was of Nyla's mother. After her divorce from Harrison, she had reportedly left for overseas in a hurry.
Could it be that she had somehow ended up becoming a member of the Nixons and gained a position of influence? If that were the case, it would explain why Drake was after Nyla.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDamon looked up at Tom. "Got it. Is there anything else you know?" "Drake's pretty guarded around me, so he doesn't letin on much. But I do have a close relationship with one of his trusted associates.
"One time, we were drinking, and his associate let it slip. Drake's ultimate goal with Nyla is to marry her and use her as a stepping stone to gain entry into the Nixons," Tom replied.
If Nyla was indeed blood-related to a core member of the Nixons, marrying her could be a legitimate way for Drake to secure a position in the family.
As soon as Tom finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room turned ice-cold. He shivered involuntarily and glanced at Damon, whose expression had darkened to the point of startling him.
It quickly dawned on him-any man would be furious hearing about another man plotting to take his wife.
"Uh... Mr. Sumner... that's all I know. I swear!" Tom stammered nervously.
Damon's icy gaze locked onto him. "You're sure you're not holding anything back?" "I'm sure! I've already chosen to side with you-why would I hide anything? "The more you know about Drake, the better chance you have against him, which helpstoo, doesn't it?" Tom defended himself.
If Damon didn't know anything, going up against Drake would be a death sentence. At least now, Damon had sleverage.
"Fine. I get it. You can go now," Damon dismissed him.
"But... what should I do next? What if Drake comes afteragain?" Tom asked.
He had just spilled everything to Damon. If Damon didn't protect him, Drake would never let him off the hook.
"Don't worry. I'll arrange for someone to protect you. Drake won't have another chance to get to you," Damon reassured him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Really?" Tom's face lit up with relief. "Mr. Sumner, please make sure to send enough people to protect me. Drake has extensive connections, even in this country." Damon frowned. "Who does he have connections with here?" Tom paused, then said, "A lot of people. I write up a list for you. But I know about-there's likely more keep in mind, these are just the ones Damon's expression remained icy. "Alright." Tom took a piece of paper and jotted down a list of names he could remember.
Damon's expression grew even colder as he read the dozen or son names on the list-all prominent figures in the business and political world.
Tom sighed. "That's everyone I can think of for now. There's probably more. Honestly, going up against him En won't be easy..." If he weren't so desperate to break free from Drake's control, he wouldn't have bet everything opné Damon. Even then, he didn't have high hopes for Damon.
"Alright. If you think of anything else, letknow immediately," Dambh immediate reminded him.
"Got it. Do I still need to go back to my place?" Tom asked.
"No. Someone will cto get you soon, and you'll go with them," Damon replied.
