"Got it, but I need some time to process this. Please leave now."Clark frowned, noticing Nyla's indifference. "Nyla, I said I'd give you time, but can you stop pushing me away?"Frustrated by his persistence, Nyla looked him in the eye. "You say you'll give me time, but have you really? The day after I found out about your affair, you tried to force yourself on me, and today you did it again."From the start, I haven't seen any real remorse from you. You're just trying to smooth things over quickly, but I can't move on that fast. At least not right now. Do you understand?"Seeing the redness in Nyla's eyes, Clark felt a pang of guilt and regret. He reached out to hold her, but she stepped back and avoided his touch, leaving his hand suspended awkwardly in the air."Clark, in all these years of marriage, I've never wronged you. We've been together for eight years, not eight months or eight days."You betrayed me and expect me to accept it quickly. Do you think that's possible? Un

Instantly, everyone in the R&D department turned their eyes to Lucia.Genevieve had never spoken to Lucia in such a harsh tone before, leaving Lucia more surprised than embarrassed. "Genevieve... what's wrong?" Genevieve didn't respond and simply turned to walk back to her office.As Lucia felt the curious gazes of her colleagues, her face turned red with embarrassment. When her eyes met Nyla's, her anger flared even more. She was certain Nyla was waiting to see her make a fool of herself.Suppressing her rage, she bit her lip and followed Genevieve into the office.As soon as the door closed, Genevieve threw a document onto the desk in front of her. "Take a look!"Her tone was full of disappointment, and her gaze on Lucia was disapproving.Confused, Lucia picked up the document and began to browse. Her face grew paler with each page, and her hands started to shake. How could this have happened?Upon seeing Lucia's guilty expression, Genevieve's voice grew colder. "I used to t

It was clear to Lucia that Genevieve wasn’t going to let her off the hook. She took a deep breath and said slowly, "I understand. Whatever decision the company makes, I will accept it."With that, she turned and left.As soon as she exited Genevieve's office, she could no longer contain her anger. She stormed back to the R&D department.Nyla was engrossed in her work, looking through some documents, when she heard the sound of hurried footsteps approaching from behind. As soon as she turned around, a slap landed hard across her face.The sharp sound of the slap silenced the entire room, drawing everyone's attention to the two women.Lucia had used all her strength, causing Nyla’s head to snap to the side. A red handprint quickly appeared on her pale cheek, and it swelled rapidly.Nyla looked up, her gaze cold as she stared at Lucia.Despite herself, Lucia felt a flicker of fear under Nyla's clear, unyielding gaze and instinctively wanted to step back. But once she remembered the

Damon gave him a cool glance. "It seems like you have a lot of free time lately.""No, no, not at all. I still have plenty of files to sort through this afternoon..." Spencer quickly ducked his head, silently vowing to rein in his curiosity next time.…After Nyla iced her cheek for about ten minutes, the burning pain subsided, so she returned to her desk.As soon as she sat down, her colleague, Sasha Yates, rolled her chair over and whispered, "Nyla, everyone is talking about what happened between you and Lucia. What happened? Why did she suddenly hit you?"Nyla didn’t want to blow things out of proportion. If she made a big deal out of it, Lucia might lose her job. Considering she had just joined the company, forcing Lucia out would make her colleagues think she was scheming, which would make her work life difficult.Besides, despite Lucia's recent data tampering, she had produced some valuable research in the past, and the company would likely handle the matter privately.Nyl

"No way! They wouldn't betray me!""If you think it's Nyla, then show me evidence. If you don't have any, keep your mouth shut. The company is already being lenient with you, so don't push your luck."Facing Genevieve's penetrating gaze, Lucia felt like all her schemes were laid bare. She lowered her head, feeling a bit guilty. "I understand. I'll go back to work now."Genevieve didn't respond and picked up a file to read.Lucia knew that Genevieve was clearly angry, so she didn't dare say more and left the office quietly.…Back in the R&D department, the first thing she did was walk over to Nyla's desk."Nyla, playing dirty tricks behind someone's back isn't a real skill. I suggest you focus on your work. After all, you've got a three-month probation period. If anything goes wrong, you won't get the permanent position. Don't you agree?"Nyla remained expressionless at Lucia's smug expression, lowering her gaze to continue reading her documents.Before Lucia could say more, t

Nyla indifferently looked away from the anger practically pouring from Clark's eyes. "No one. I tripped and fell.""You fell and managed to slap yourself on the face?"Nyla lowered her gaze and spoke softly. "This is my business. Can you just leave it alone?"Clark grabbed her hand firmly, his voice serious. "You are my wife. Someone hit my wife, and you think I can just ignore that?""I told you it's my business, and I've already handled it. Just give me the clothes."After a moment of tense silence, Clark relented, seeing Nyla wasn’t going to say more."Let me drive you home.""No need. The subway takes just ten minutes."Clark frowned at the resistance and cold distance in Nyla's eyes."Nyla, I’m not asking you to forgive me right now. But I hope you won’t reject my kindness. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee what I might do."A flicker of sarcasm crossed Nyla's eyes as she caught the threat in his last words."Clark, is this what you mean by not forcing me anymore?""I just

Clark's nonchalant words made Lucia feel like she had fallen into an icy abyss. She knew all too well that he had the power to follow through, and the Pollards lacked the means to resist.She raised her hand and slapped herself hard across the face."Keep going."At first, Lucia felt the sting on her face, but after a while, her cheeks went numb, and she was simply repeating the action mechanically. She didn’t know how long it had been or how many slaps she had dealt herself.Just as Lucia felt she might pass out, Clark finally got up and walked over to her. He looked down at her as if she were an insignificant insect. "Ms. Pollard, I hope you remember this lesson. Avoid my wife in the future. Next time, I won’t be so lenient."With that, he walked past her without waiting for a reaction, followed by his bodyguards who had been there to prevent her escape.The room was soon empty except for Lucia.Her tightly wound emotions finally unraveled, and she covered her face, sobbing un

Clark sensed there was more to Cindy's words. He was about to inquire further when a maid assisted the semi-drunk Cyrus Sumner into the living room.Clark frowned upon seeing Cyrus and simply said, "Mom, I'm heading back now."With that, he turned and walked past Cyrus to leave.Cyrus frowned but said nothing.…Back at the villa, Clark called his secretary, Michael Parkin, instructing him to purchase a mansion in Jordyn's name.Michael sounded surprised. "Mr. Sumner, if Mrs. Sumner finds out...""Be discreet. Don't let anyone know, especially Nyla."If Nyla found out Jordyn was keeping the baby, she would be more determined to divorce him. Thinking about it made Clark feel troubled."Alright, I understand."Ending the call, Michael sighed softly.This was no different from pushing Nyla away. Clark's affair was already unforgivable—now, keeping a woman outside was like digging their marriage's grave.Michael knew he was just a secretary and had to do as Clark ordered.…O

The porcelain shattered against the floor, tea splattering everywhere.Emerald's gaze remained fixed on the broken shards, her eyes burning with rage.Filipe, who had been walking down the hallway, entered the room.Upon seeing the mess on the floor, he didn't seem the least bit surprised. Instead, he turned to Emerald and said, "Madam, Mr. Nixon has woken up."At those words, the anger on Emerald's face was replaced by a flicker of relief. She immediately stood and hurried toward Brian's room.Before following, Filipe glanced at the nearby maids, who were trembling in fear, and instructed, "Clean this up.""Yes, sir!" the maids answered in unison.Only after Emerald and Filipe had left did the maids finally breathe a sigh of relief, quickly grabbing cleaning supplies.…A short while later, Emerald arrived at Brian's bedroom.He was already sitting up in bed, eating some soup. His face was pale, drawn with exhaustion and a deep sense of despair.From the moment he had woken

Mary's face turned pale in an instant. "What did you do to Darcy?!"She leered at Emerald, her eyes burning with rage.Emerald smiled. "Nothing much. Just putting him back where he belongs."Then, with a teasing lilt, she added, "But the way you're so concerned about him makes it easy to suspect there's something more between you two."Mary's expression grew even uglier."Emerald, what nonsense are you talking about?! Darcy and I are completely innocent!" she snapped.Emerald raised an eyebrow. "No need to get so worked up. I was just making an observation. But now that Darcy is out of the picture, you should face reality—there's no one left in the Nixons to support you."You can forget about your little dream of Vik taking over. The only thing you should focus on now is taking care of Edward. Once he's gone, I'll give you and Vik some money so you can leave. But if you try anything foolish again, don't blame me for what happens next."Mary ground her teeth. "Don't get too comf

For years, Tony had watched Darcy lose himself over Mary, taking increasingly reckless risks for her. He had always known that one day, Darcy would destroy himself because of her.Darcy's expression twisted with rage. "Tony, I will never forgive you!"Tony ignored him and turned to Emerald. "Madam, we've secured Ms. Nixon. As for Mary and Vik, they're still in the hospital under Edward's men's watch. We weren't able to bring them in."Emerald nodded. "You've done well. From now on, you will take over all of Darcy's operations.""Understood, Madam," Tony replied.Darcy's face contorted in fury. "Emerald, you have no right to do this! If Edward finds out, he won't let you get away with it!"Emerald's smirk was cold. "Edward is lying in a hospital bed, barely able to move. Do you really think he has time to deal with you?"As of this moment, you are no longer part of the Nixons. Everything you had—your wealth, your status—I will take it all back. Since you believe you earned it you

A cold glint flashed in Darcy's eyes when he saw that Emerald remained completely calm—and could even smile."Emerald, we've known each other for so many years. I don't want things to get ugly. You already have more wealth than you could spend in a lifetime, and with Brian losing a leg, he's no longer a viable successor to the Nixons. If you step down now, I won't make things difficult for you," Darcy said.Emerald set down her teacup, her expression steady as she met Darcy's gaze. "I've told you before—my chosen successor is my eldest daughter, Nyla, not Brian. So whether or not Brian is injured has nothing to do with the future of the Nixons."Darcy's face darkened. "So you're refusing to settle this peacefully?""The moment you came to my estate and kidnapped my daughters, a peaceful resolution was off the table," Emerald replied.As soon as she finished speaking, more than a dozen men in black emerged from the shadows, swiftly surrounding them.Darcy's expression changed inst

Once his men left, Darcy freshened up and walked into the living room.Mary and Vik were already awake.He turned to Mary. "Mary, take Vik to the hospital after breakfast to stay with Edward. Leave the rest to me."Mary nodded, though her gaze was filled with worry. "Be careful.""I've weathered bigger storms than this. A small matter like this is nothing," Darcy reassured her.After breakfast, Mary and Vik left while Darcy prepared to call a meeting.Just as he was about to gather his allies, his phone rang.He narrowed his eyes when he saw Emerald's name on the screen. Answering, he said, "Emerald, what brings you to call me at this hour?""I'm back. Come to the estate immediately," Emerald said coolly.Darcy's expression darkened. He hadn't expected her to return so soon."You're not joking, are you?" he asked."You'll know when you get here." With that, Emerald hung up.A sense of unease crept into Darcy's heart. He immediately called one of the family members who had p

No matter how furious Warren was, Alexander didn't look back. He was certain that Emerald would reach out to him soon and agree to his terms.At present, she had no one else to rely on. Even the people she could use, she didn't fully trust. Besides, the condition he proposed wasn't that difficult.After Alexander left, Warren fumed for a while before finally calming down. He then dialed Emerald's number and relayed everything Alexander had said, word for word.There was a brief silence on the other end before Emerald's cold voice came through. "Ignore him. If he wants to go against me for Nyla's sake, I want to see how long he can keep it up!"Warren quickly tried to soothe her. "Don't be too upset. Alexander is still young. It's normal for him to act impulsively. Once he thinks things through, he'll come back."Emerald let out a cold laugh. "He knows exactly what he's doing. If we wait for him to come to his senses, who knows how many years that'll take? I won't let him threaten

As Mason's mentor, Alexander couldn't just sit by and watch his family fall apart.After a long pause, Damon finally said, "Alright. I'll give you one more chance."When Nyla came out of the shower, Alexander had already left.Hearing sounds from the kitchen, she walked over and found Damon cooking pasta."Damon," she called softly.He turned to her with a small smile. "All done? Go sit down. The pasta will be ready soon.""Okay," she replied.Five minutes later, Damon brought out a steaming plate of pasta and placed it in front of her. "Eat up. Get some rest after this."The delicious aroma filled the air. Nyla picked up her utensils and glanced at Damon. "Aren't you eating?"He shook his head. "I'm not hungry.""Alright," she answered.As she ate, she finally had the chance to ask about his conversation with Alexander."He said he'd help us return home and make sure we're never dragged into the Nixons' business again," Damon said.Nyla nodded. "Do you think he's telling

After speaking, Damon took Nyla and left.Once they got into the car, Nyla turned to him. "Where are we going now?""We'll head back to my villa first. Emerald should be too preoccupied to bother you for now. After that, we'll take things one step at a time," Damon answered.Nyla leaned against his shoulder and murmured, "Mm. I never want to be apart from you again.""Me neither," Damon replied.…More than an hour later, the car pulled up in front of Damon's villa.As soon as they got out, they saw Alexander standing by the entrance, as if he had been waiting for a long time.Damon's expression turned icy. "Mr. Kinsey, what are you doing here?"At the same time, he instinctively positioned Nyla behind him.Alexander noted Damon's protective stance, and his gaze darkened slightly. "Relax. I'm not here to take Nyla away. I'm here to help you."Damon let out a cold laugh. "We don't need your help."If it hadn't been for Alexander, Nyla wouldn't have been taken to Meristate in

"You did a lot too. You negotiated directly with Darcy and risked offending him just to save me." Nyla's gaze into Ross' eyes was full of gratitude.Ross smiled. "It was my honor to help you and Damon."After a brief hesitation, Nyla couldn't hold back her curiosity any longer. "How do you know Damon?"Before coming to Meristate, she had no idea that Damon was acquainted with someone as powerful as Ross.The night Emerald had thrown her out of the estate, she hadn't walked far when a car suddenly pulled up in front of her. Two men in black had gotten out, taken her without explanation, and brought her to Ross' estate.At first, she had assumed she was being kidnapped. It wasn't until Ross mentioned that he knew Damon—and even called him right in front of her—that she realized he had no ill intentions.Later, Ross had been a great help to both her and Damon.Nyla couldn't help but wonder what kind of relationship the two men had for Ross to go so far for them.Ross chuckled.
