Was Nyla really just going to let Clark have his way? It seemed that the only way to distance herself from him was to get a divorce.Before she could do that, Harrison's kidney surgery needed to be completed. Otherwise, Clark would continue to use the situation to threaten her. If she relied solely on herself, she would have to wait in line for a kidney, not knowing how long it might take.Nyla looked up at Clark and said coldly, "If you want me to move back, fine."Clark's face lit up with hope, but her next words made his smile freeze."I will move back in after my father's kidney transplant is completed," she said.A heavy silence fell over the hallway.Clark clenched his fists. If he hadn't rashly given the kidney to Jordyn's father, he would have agreed immediately. With no new kidney donation available now, he couldn't make that promise.Seeing his silence, Nyla assumed he intended to use the kidney donation to keep threatening her and grew even colder in her gaze."If yo

It seemed someone was already getting impatient.After tossing the dress aside, Nyla found a white V-neck slit dress in the closet and put it on. She removed the hair tie, letting her hair cascade down. She then straightened her hair with a flat iron and spent five minutes on a light makeup look before she was ready to leave.As soon as she got into the car and was about to fasten her seatbelt, Clark's deep voice suddenly came from beside her. "Why aren't you wearing the dress I had prepared for you?"Nyla raised an eyebrow and looked at him coldly. "That dress isn't my size."Clark, perceptive as ever, quickly understood, and his expression darkened. "I'll look into this."Nyla offered a slight smile. "Let's go to the party first."Her face was small and delicate, perfectly made up with light makeup. Her long hair flowed like silk behind her. In her white dress, she looked like a fragrant gardenia, so beautiful it was almost impossible to look away.Clark's gaze lingered on Nyl

This had only caused the Sumners to treat Nyla with even more disregard.Nyla had endured their behavior before because she had expectations for Clark. Now that her love for him was gone, tolerating it would reduce her to nothing more than a doormat.She smiled and replied, "Getting a divorce is still better than never getting married. What do you think, Aunt Anne?"Anne's face immediately darkened, her gaze sharp as daggers. "Say that again?!"Anne had once been in a relationship and waited for that man after their breakup. Now, approaching 40 and still unmarried, it had become a sore spot for her. No one dared to mention it in her presence.Marie also felt offended. Since Nyla had previously confronted her, Marie had harbored resentment. She had hoped Nyla would eventually apologize, but instead of showing remorse, Nyla had begun criticizing Anne!Cindy looked at Nyla with surprise and suspicion. Was Nyla out of her mind to say something like that?Nyla maintained a calm smile

"Mr. Sumner, long time no see. I heard Prospectus Technology recently invested in the government project in the east suburb.""I'm also interested in that project. I wonder if you could give me a chance to get a piece of the action, Mr. Sumner?"Damon, who lacked the patience for idle chat, reluctantly paused to acknowledge the men speaking as it was Marie's birthday party. He greeted them with little enthusiasm."Good evening, Mr. Lowe."While Damon was being cornered by business associates, Nyla had already dismissed the man she was speaking with and was seeking a quiet place to rest.Suddenly, a maid from the Sumners rushed up to her. "Ms. Jayston, Ms. Cindy has asked to see you. She's waiting for you at the pavilion in the garden."Nyla glanced toward Marie. Seeing that Cindy was indeed absent, she frowned slightly. "Did she say what it's about?""No, but it seemed quite urgent. Ms. Jayston, you should go quickly," the maid urged.Noting the urgency in the maid's gaze, Nyla

Just then, a maid hurried over to Damon. "Mr. Damon, Ms. Jayston suddenly fainted. I couldn't find Mr. Clark."Hearing this, Damon looked up, his voice cold. "Where is she?""She's upstairs now. Madam Summer and the others are busy with the guests. You should go and check on her," the maid replied.If it were any other time, Damon would have noticed something was off. Nyla had fainted, so why hadn't a doctor been called? Instead, they were asking him to check on her.However, having drunk the spiked glass of wine Cyrus had given him earlier, Damon felt dizzy and sluggish. He didn't immediately realize something was amiss.By the time he noticed, he was already in Clark's room."Mr. Damon, Ms. Jayston is inside," the maid said.Damon stopped abruptly, his eyes narrowing with suspicion. "I'll wait here for the doctor."Entering without knowing what was happening could lead to unforeseen consequences.It was becoming clear to Damon that this was a trap set by Cyrus. He hadn't ant

"Uncle Damon, wake up," Nyla said, pushing him away.She quickly got out of bed and watched him warily, gripping the bedside lamp tightly, ready to use it for self-defense if he charged at her.Damon nearly fell off the bed from her push.After a few seconds, he looked at her in confusion, his usually cold face now flushed. His eyes burned with a fierce intensity, as if a fire were scorching right through one's heart."Come here," he commanded.Nyla frowned but stayed where she was.Damon looked dangerous. His gaze was filled with a predatory desire as if he might devour her at any moment.Nyla's mind raced, trying to understand Cyrus' motive.Tonight was Marie's party. Had Cyrus chosen this moment to create a scandal, intending to make it look like she and Damon were having an affair?No, this would not only embarrass the Sumners but also severely offend Damon. It was more likely that Cyrus wanted Damon to have relations with her and then use this as leverage to blackmail him

Nyla froze upon hearing Jordyn's voice."Jordyn, I've warned you before. I have no intention of marrying you. And what right do you have to bring a gift to my grandmother? Are you some mistress I'm keeping on the side?" Clark demanded.After a brief silence, Jordyn's voice trembled as she responded. "Clark… I'm not foolish enough to think you'll marry me. I just wanted to deliver a gift to your grandmother to thank you for finding a kidney for my father...""Shut up!" Clark's voice was cold and cutting. "Jordyn, if you mention this again, I won't let it slide!""Clark…" Jordyn pleaded."Get out, now!" Clark's voice was filled with anger.Jordyn seemed frightened. After a moment, she replied softly, "Clark… Please don't be angry. I'll leave right away…"The sound of her high heels faded, signaling her departure. Soon after, Clark also left.Nyla remained seated on the grass, her head lowered, her body hidden in the darkness. It was as if the night had swallowed her whole, mergin

When Clark saw Cyrus, his scowl deepened."Got it. I'll go over right away," he said in a deep voice.After Clark left, Cyrus looked at Nyla with a smile that didn't reach his eyes. "How did you manage to escape?""Dad, what are you talking about? I don't understand," Nyla replied, her face displaying apparent confusion as if she genuinely didn't know.Cyrus sneered, his eyes growing colder. "You'd better truly not understand."Only after Cyrus turned and walked away did Nyla finally release her tightly clenched hands. Her palms ached, but her expression remained unchanged.As the evening approached its end, Damon finally made an appearance. He had changed into a different outfit, his hair slightly damp, and his complexion pale. His chiseled features were as cold as a glacier, radiating an icy aura.Noticing his mood, those who had intended to approach him quickly backed off. No one wanted to be on the receiving end of his displeasure.Marie noticed him and looked slightly disp

A moment later, Nyla entered the restaurant.Alexander stood quickly and led her toward their table."Nyla, just a heads-up—your mom's used to giving orders, so her words might come across as commanding. Be prepared," he said again, his tone cautious."Okay," Nyla replied evenly, following him.In less than two minutes, they arrived at the table."Nyla, this is your mom," Alexander said, then turned to the woman sitting before them. "Aunt Emerald, this is Nyla. Doesn't she look just like you?"Emerald and Nyla's eyes met, neither speaking for several long moments.After what felt like an eternity, Emerald raised her chin slightly. "Sit down."Her tone was devoid of any warmth.As Nyla looked at the woman in front of her, she found it impossible to reconcile this commanding figure with the gentle, loving mother she remembered from childhood.She sat across from Emerald and spoke directly. "I've heard from Alexander that you want me to go to Meristate."Emerald nodded, her gaz

"Exactly, Mr. Sumner, please help us out!"Damon's expression remained indifferent while facing the hopeful gazes of the group. "I can help you, but tell me—what can you offer in return?"He wasn't a philanthropist, and given these people had previously worked against Prospectus Technology, there was no way he would let them off easily."Mr. Sumner, whatever you ask—if we can do it, we will!"The others echoed in agreement, desperate to save their businesses.Damon nodded. "Alright, I have only one condition—join me in taking down Drake."Relief washed over the group. Some even looked incredulous.Was that really his only condition? After all, even if Damon hadn't explicitly asked, they'd likely side with him against Drake once their companies were back on their feet.The humiliation Drake had subjected them to was a bitter pill none of them were willing to swallow."Mr. Sumner, that's it? That's all you're asking?"Damon turned his cold gaze to the man who spoke. "Yes. But l

"If you force her, she'll resist even more. And don't forget, she has unresolved feelings about the past," Alexander reminded her.Emerald's face darkened. "What does she have to resent? If it weren't for what happened back then, she wouldn't even exist. She should be grateful I brought her into this world!"Alexander frowned. "If you want her to follow you to Meristate, you'll need to tone it down. She's not like Brian and Delia, who grew up with you.""Fine. I'll meet her tomorrow and see," Emerald replied.After divorcing Harrison and moving abroad, Emerald had initially thought about Nyla often. But over time, as her business grew and she had Brian and Delia, her thoughts of her eldest daughter faded.Now, she only cared about Nyla because the Nixons needed her as a successor. Otherwise, she might never have thought about her again.Emerald knew she had wronged Nyla, but she had gone through so much over the years. Besides, she had a son and a daughter who listened. She no lo

Hearing Damon's response, Nyla finally felt relieved. "That's good to hear.""Let's eat," Damon said."Okay." Nyla picked up her utensils, ready to grab some food when her phone suddenly rang.Seeing Alexander's name on the screen, her expression shifted slightly. She set her utensils down and answered.As soon as the call connected, Alexander's voice came through. "Nyla, your mom's flight lands in two hours. I'm heading to the airport to pick her up. Do you want to come along?"Nyla clutched her phone, her breathing growing heavier. It took her a few seconds to respond. "No, I'm busy tonight. Anything else?""How about tomorrow? Can we meet somewhere? She really wants to see you," Alexander asked."We'll see," she said hurriedly, then ended the call.Noticing her pale expression, Damon took her hand and said softly, "If you don't want to see her, then don't. You don't have to force yourself."Taking a deep breath, Nyla shook her head. "No, I want to see her. I just... I'm not

Drake's ultimate target was Nyla. If Prospectus Technology fell, no one could protect her or Mason.The companies that had sided with Drake acted out of self-interest, but they now regretted their decisions. Damon could gain significant strength by reestablishing cooperation with them.Of course, Valarie had her own motives. She wanted to repay Summer Coates for saving her life and hoped to restore their collaboration."Whether or not she can stay out of it, talking to her won't help. Stop dragging her into this," Brandon said."Brandon, who are you to order me around?" Valarie retorted.Pinching the bridge of his nose in frustration, Brandon replied, "Can you stop being unreasonable? I'm not threatening you. I'm reminding you. Don't forget—the Weir Group avoided bankruptcy only because of my uncle."Valarie laughed coldly. "You're right. He did save the Weir Group, and I'm grateful. But that doesn't mean he can interfere in everything I do."Without giving him a chance to respo

Nyla pursed her lips, remaining silent.Seeing her hesitation, Valarie added, "Nyla, just think about my suggestion. I believe it makes sense to cooperate with them for now. Once we deal with Drake, we can address their past actions. What do you think?"Nyla looked at her. "I understand. I'll think about it. You should head back now."With that, she stood and left.Valarie's argument had some merit, but Nyla could tell she wasn't only considering things from her and Damon's perspective. Valarie likely wanted Damon to go easy on the companies that had previously turned on Prospectus Technology.Back in her bedroom, Nyla sat in a lounge chair on the balcony, thinking for a long while before dialing Damon's number.The call was answered quickly."Nyla, what is it?" Damon asked."Valarie came to see me just now. She asked me to intercede for the companies that turned on Prospectus Technology and to convince you to give them another chance," she replied.There was silence on the ot

"Actually, my daughter is friends with Valarie. I could ask her to help set up a meeting with Nyla," one person said hesitantly.Jerry's face lit up. "Yes, let's do that."Another person clapped him on the back. "Well done. Didn't know you still had an ace up your sleeve!"The man shrugged. "I usually don't pay attention to who my daughter befriends. I didn't expect it to come in handy now.""Well, it's a reminder for us all. I'm going home to tell my kid to start making more friends."…An hour later, Nyla received a call from Valarie. "Nyla, are you home? I need to talk to you about something.""I'm home," Nyla replied, arranging a flower in a vase. "What's up? Can't you just tell me over the phone?""It's better in person. I'll be there in 30 minutes," Valarie replied.Though Valarie said 30 minutes, she arrived in less than 20. As she stepped into the living room, she saw Nyla kneeling on a cushion by the sofa, carefully arranging flowers in a vase on the table."Nyla," s

The group fell silent again. After a long pause, someone finally spoke. "Right, since Damon won't let us off the hook, let's go to Mr. Mummery and see if he can help us."Minutes later, the people who had been waiting outside Prospectus Technology turned and left.The front desk quickly relayed this to Spencer, who reported it to Damon. "Mr. Sumner, they've been outside since 5:00 a.m. and have now suddenly left. I'm not sure if they've given up or if something else is going on."Damon's expression remained indifferent. "Whatever their reason, it has nothing to do with us. Don't bring this up to me again in the future. You can leave now.""Yes, sir," Spencer replied.…After contacting Drake, the group waited in a private room at a restaurant.Two hours later, Drake finally arrived.As soon as he entered, Jerry Walker from Excellence stood up hurriedly. "Mr. Mummery, you're finally here. We've been waiting a long time."Drake offered a faint smile, took a seat, and raised an e

It was Percy's secretary who had said that the Watson Group would be in crisis if they offended Drake. That was why Percy had refused to work with Prospectus Technology.Now? They hadn't offended Drake, but they had offended Damon. If they had to offend someone, he'd rather it be Drake.Percy had worked with Damon for years. He knew Damon wasn't the type to push people to their breaking point. As for Drake, Percy had investigated him—he was a ruthless man.People who had worked with Drake had all suffered. Yet, no one dared retaliate because Drake was supported by the Nixons. Associating with someone like that would be dangerous.Percy's gaze shifted to the window, his expression grim. He couldn't shake the feeling that the tides were turning in Saintornia.…In the days that followed, executives from companies that had severed ties with Prospectus Technology flooded Spencer's phone with calls, all begging for a meeting with Damon.No matter how persistent they were, Spencer alw
