Fu Corporation, CEO’s Office:
After briefing Damon, Secretary Yan hesitated before speaking.
“Mr. Fu, today is the… the ALI Math Competition finals.”
Damon, sitting at his desk, swiveled his Montblanc pen.His expression remained. impassive. “You’re quite interested in my ex–wife?”
Yan felt the chill in Damon’s tone. “After each competition, Fu Corporation extends offers to the top twenty finalists.If Jiang Wan Yue makes it…”
Yan couldn’t imagine Wan Yue working alongside Damon.He’d need to warn the staff to avoid any conflicts.
Damon’s voice was flat.“If she’s in the top twenty, it means she has some skill.Offer her a position. Whether she actually joins Fu Corporation… depends on
depends on my mood.” A sardonic smile touched his lips.She’d enrolled in the competition during their divorce, desperate attempt to prove herself, to show him her worth.She silently begged for his and Timmy’s continued love.
A cold fury flickered in his eyes.Once he revoked her status as Mrs. Fu, no amount of effort would change his mind..
His phone rang.It was his mother.He sighed and answered.
“Damon, dear, have you looked at the profiles of those eligible young ladies I sent? Any you like? We could arrange meetings this weekend!”
Since his divorce, his mother had been relentlessly pushing him to date.She’d sent him profiles of several eligible heiresses, all of which remained unopened.
“Mom, mind your own business,” he said coldly.
I’m doing this for you and Timmy! He’s only five. Do you want him to grow up without a mother?”
He remained emotionless. I have work. Goodbye.”
“Damon, who is Luna? Is she from Beijing?”
Damon paused, a flicker of something in his dark eyes.He remembered his dream. “Timmy mentioned Luna?” He knew how his mother learned of her.
Timmy wants Luna to be his mother!”
His mother’s tone was sharp. “Is Luna a foreigner? Timmy said she’s a race car driver!Why does he keep associating with such… unsuitable people?Can’t you keep a better eye on him? Is being a race car driver a respectable profession?She’s not some wealthy heiress, is she?Damon, you let Timmy keep seeing Luna.She’ll corrupt him!”

She finally understood his insult.He was calling her old–fashioned.She realized Luna held a special place in his heart. He’d never spoken up for any woman before.
She exploded. “How dare you speak to me like that?That vixen Luna has you spellbound; you don’t even recognize your own mother, do you?!”
Damon hung up.He tossed his phone on the desk, his icy aura chilling the room.Mentioning Luna only fueled his suspicions.
He’d given Luna three days to claim her cars. Three days passed, and she hadn’t appeared.Only Shane could contact her.

“Yes, I’ve completed all the problems.”

The proctor, impressed by her calm demeanor, allowed her to leave. The other competitors reacted with a mix of emotions, feeling pressured by her early submission. Was the test too easy, or were they incompetent?
Wei An scoffed, believing her early submission was a ploy to create a genius persona, sacrificing for speed. Even if she made the top twenty, he would ensure her defeat in the challenge
