When Nyla saw the so-called "evidence" on Clark's phone, her eyes filled with sarcasm. "So, based on this chat screenshot, you've decided it was me?""That's not all," Clark replied, his tone cold. "There's also a recording."He played the recording right in front of Nyla.As she listened, she finally understoodâit was all a setup, specifically designed to frame her. She couldn't figure out what the person behind this stood to gain."This voice does sound a lot like mine," Nyla said calmly. "However, if you take it to a forensic lab, you'll see it's been fabricated."Clark's gaze was full of disappointment as he looked at her. "I gave you the evidence you asked for, but you're still denying it? Nyla, when did you become so malicious?""Is it that I'm malicious, or that you want to believe I am? You didn't even bother to have this recording or the chat logs authenticated, yet you've decided it was me. If I really wanted to leak Jordyn's pregnancy, would I leave such obvious eviden

Nyla had not yet confronted Jordyn about bribing the maid to swap her dress last time. Just days later, Jordyn was already pushing her luck again.Considering the so-called evidence against her, Nyla found it laughable. The fact that Clark believed it without even verifying it showed just how blind and foolish he had become.After a moment's thought, Nyla called Michael. She obtained the audio being used as evidence from him and immediately sent it to a reputable forensic agency in Saintornia. Given the money involved, they promised results within three days.Nyla then packed a few changes of clothes and checked into a hotel, knowing Clark would likely come looking for her the next day. Until the results arrived, she had no intention of engaging in any pointless arguments with him.As expected, as soon as she arrived at the office the next morning, she received a call from Clark. His voice was agitated, almost frantic. "Where are you? You didn't come home again last night?! Were yo

"I don't need the Sumner Group to deal with you," Damon said, his voice cold.Clark's expression darkened. He scoffed. "Nyla and I are married. Whatever happens between us is none of your business.""Even as her husband, you have no right to force her into something she doesn't want to do," Damon replied, his tone unwavering.Besides, it wouldn't be long before Clark and Nyla were divorced.The two men locked eyes, and the tension between them was palpable, the air around them seeming to drop in temperature."Clark, stop harassing me. I'm not going to agree with what you just proposed, no matter what," Nyla said coldly.Clark felt a chill in his heart. Nyla knew how important the Sumner Group was to him, yet she still refused to help.With Damon standing there, he realized that trying to reason with her was futile."Nyla, I'll come back another time," Clark said.Nyla frowned. No matter how many times he came, she knew she wouldn't change her mind. Before she could respond, he

Clark didn't believe Jordyn's words, but he chose not to respond. Suddenly, his phone rang."Mr. Sumner, more photos and details about your affair with Jordyn have been exposed. The online backlash is intense, and... the Sumner Group just released a statement saying you've been dismissed," Michael informed him.The statement from the Sumner Group didn't mention Clark's resignation. It stated that he had been fired, indicating that Richard was genuinely furious.Clark clenched his phone and took a deep breath before replying, "I understand. Let me know if there's anything else.""Okay," Michael replied.After hanging up, Clark took a moment to collect his thoughts, grabbed his coat, and left.Jordyn called after him, but he ignored her completely.He drove to the Sumner residence and, upon arriving, did not go inside. Instead, he knelt at the entrance.Richard and Marie were taking a walk in the garden when they were informed of the situation.Richard snorted. "If he wants to k

Cyrus was livid. "How dare you blame me? You raised such a worthless son who can't even manage one mistress properly!""Shut up!" Cindy retorted, her chest heaving with anger. "If you hadn't been out of the house all the time with your string of mistresses, Clark wouldn't have turned out like this. He learned it all from you!"Cyrus sneered. "I'm not going to argue about old grievances. It's pointless now. You'd better not make things worse. If you really anger the old man, Clark might never get back into the Sumner Group."After all, the Sumners had more than one heir.As Cyrus was about to leave, Cindy tried to stop him but was shoved aside, nearly falling. When she managed to steady herself and looked around, Cyrus had already disappeared.âĶClark had been kneeling at the Sumner residence entrance all night. When it started pouring rain in the middle of the night, he stayed put, enduring the downpour until he collapsed.The next morning, a maid found him unconscious at the do

"Yeah. We did tests before. Her body has a hard time conceiving, so I plan to have Jordyn carry the baby and then let Nyla raise it as her own," Clark informed.Marie was infuriated. "Why are you only mentioning this now?!"Had she known earlier that Nyla couldn't have children, she would never have allowed Clark to marry her, no matter how long he had knelt.Clark lowered his head, his voice lacking confidence. "I thought with some time and treatment, we'd eventually succeedâĶ"Marie forced herself to stay calm and said coldly, "Call Nyla back immediately. You must divorce her!"Given Nyla's previous disrespect toward her, Marie was already dissatisfied. Now that she knew Nyla couldn't bear children, she would never allow her to remain married to Clark.Clark looked up at Marie. "Grandma, I won't divorce her. Even if she can't have children, I don't care.""You're truly insane. If you don't divorce her, you're no longer my grandson!" With that, Marie stormed off.Richard looked

Damon narrowed his eyes. It seemed Clark really didn't want to return to the Sumner Group."I'm in a meeting right now. I'll explain everything to you tonight," Damon said.Since Nyla and Clark weren't divorced yet, Damon didn't want the Sumners to know about his feelings for Nyla. Although he had fallen for her first, the Sumners would likely think she was the one who had seduced him.Richard didn't respond and just hung up.Damon called Spencer over and instructed quietly, "Find out where Clark is and bring him to see me after the meeting."âĶThe meeting dragged on for over two hours before it finally ended.When Damon announced it was over, the department managers visibly relaxed.Back in Damon's office, his gaze turned cold when he saw Clark sitting on the couch.The atmosphere was tense and oppressive.Damon sat down across from Clark and said coldly, "No matter what you tell your grandfather, I won't give up on Nyla."Clark smiled. "Uncle Damon, whether you give up or

"Just say it was sent to you by someone named Pete," Damon replied.If Pete hadn't suddenly disappeared, Damon wouldn't have needed to find Valarie."Got it," Valarie said.After their discussion, Valarie decided not to stay for dinner with Damon, as they weren't close."If there's nothing else, I'll head out now," she said.Damon looked at her seriously. "Ms. Weir, please keep this matter confidential. I don't want anyone to know that I handed you this file.""Don't worry. I'll keep it to myself," Valarie assured him.Once Valarie left the restaurant, she went directly to Nyla's place.âĶWhen Nyla saw Valarie, she was pleasantly surprised. "Valarie, what are you doing here?"Valarie smiled. "I missed you, so I came by. Let me in first."Nyla stepped aside to let her in. Once they were seated in the living room, Valarie took the file from her bag and handed it to Nyla.Nyla took it with a puzzled expression. "What's this?"As soon as Nyla opened it and read a few lines, he

"That's more like it," Valarie chirped.Nyla couldn't help but say, "Valarie, stop bullying Brandon all the time."Brandon turned to her and sighed dramatically. "Aunt Nyla, since you mentioned it, I have to say something. You have no idea what I've been through these past six months, Iâ Ouch!"Before he could finish, Valarie pinched his waist. "What was that? Tell me, Brandon. Have you been unhappy these past six months?""N-No... I've been very happy..." Brandon winced."Have I bullied you then?" Valarie pressed."No..." Brandon murmured.Valarie huffed. "If not, then keep your mouth shut, or Nyla will really think I mistreat you." Brandon gave her a pitiful look, lowering his head like a scolded puppy.Before they married, Valarie had been gentle and beautiful in his eyes. But after marriage, he realized how wrong he had been.Gentle and beautiful? All an illusion.If he stayed out drinking and came home late, he'd have to choose between sleeping on the couch or outside.

Taking Mia to work was exhausting, but every time she smiled at Damon, it made everything worth it."She'll be fine. Didn't you just say she loves us both equally? She'll cry for a bit, but if you stop taking her to the office, she'll get used to being at home," Nyla reasoned.Seeing Nyla's determination, Damon finally relented. "Alright, we'll try it tomorrow. But if she cries too much, you'll have to take her to the office.""Deal!" Nyla said....After getting ready for work the next morning, Damon kissed Mia on the cheek and headed for the door.As soon as he changed his shoes at the entrance, she reached her little arms toward him, asking to be held. She had grown so accustomed to going to the office with him every day that it had become a reflex.Damon glanced at Nyla. "Nyla, maybe today we shouldâ"Nyla interrupted, "Nope. You go to work. And if you're free for lunch, don't bother coming home. If you need to work late, no rush to come back either."Damon chuckled. "You'

"Brandon, from now on, I'm entrusting Valarie to you," Jonathan said. "She's been spoiled by us and can be a little willful at times. I hope you'll be patient with her in your marriage, and I wish you both a lifetime of happiness together."Brandon held Valarie's hand tightly, his expression solemn. "Dad, don't worry. I'll cherish her with all my heart."Jonathan nodded, stepping down from the stage. He discreetly wiped away his tears.After exchanging vows and rings, Valarie and Brandon sealed their love with a kiss, surrounded by cheers and applause.âĶOn the way home from the wedding, Nyla glanced at Damon. "I saw Mr. Weir wipe his tears so many times today. When Bunny gets married, you'll definitely be just like him, sneaking off somewhere to cry."Damon's grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly, his gaze sharpening. "No one will ever be good enough for my daughter. If she never gets married, we'll take care of her for the rest of our lives."Nyla raised an eyebrow and

"Of course! When's the wedding?" Nyla asked.Valarie shook her head. "We haven't decided yet. He'll come to my house in a few days to discuss it with my parents."Nyla raised an eyebrow. "You're about to get really busy. Planning a wedding alone will take a lot of work.""Yeah, I'm already getting a headache just thinking about it," Valarie replied....For the next few months, Valarie was completely consumed by wedding preparations and work, barely having time to catch her breath.The wedding was set for August 8th, leaving them with less than six months to finalize everything.Valarie even traveled abroad several times to meet with designers and ensure her wedding dress was exactly what she wanted.Beyond the dress, she and Brandon spent hours discussing every detailâfrom the venue to the wedding favors and bouquet choices....After months of nonstop planning, the big day finally arrived.Valarie was already up, getting her hair and makeup done at 2:00 a.m.By the time N

Valarie looked up and saw the approaching glow.When the figure finally stopped in front of her, she realized it was Brandon.Frowning, she asked, "Where did you go? I waited so long for you. And what are you hiding behind your back?"Brandon flipped his phone face-down on the table, revealing the flowers he had hidden. Then he dropped to one knee."Valarie, I had planned a perfect proposal for you, but when you asked earlier about the meaning of wearing a wedding dress, I knew I couldn't wait any longer."Before I met you, my life revolved solely around work. I never paused for anyoneâI never cared whether the sun was rising or setting, or if the moon was full or waning. But everything changed after I met you."I began cherishing the thought of greeting you every morning, sharing meals with you, and standing by your side for life."Valarie, I want every morning to begin with us waking up together, and every night to end with us holding each other as we fall asleep."Finally, B

Of course, every time they visited Valarie's home, Phoebe would subtlyâor sometimes not so subtlyâhint that they should get married.Brandon had always assumed Valarie wasn't interested in marriage since she never responded to those hints. He hadn't considered proposing.But today, seeing her so excited about picking out baby clothes made him start to imagine a future with herâbuilding a family, raising a child.That thought filled his heart with warmth.After more than three hours of shopping, they finally left the mall, their arms full of bags.Once they loaded everything into the car, Valarie turned to Brandon. "I'm starving. Let's grab something to eat."Brandon nodded. "Sure. What are you in the mood for?""I'm not picky. Is there anything good around here? I don't feel like going too far," she replied.Brandon paused, then said, "There's a place with ethnic cuisine nearby. I went there once for a business meetingâit was pretty authentic. Want to give it a try?""Sounds g

Nyla was silent for a moment before nodding. "Alright. If you ever need Damon to help figure out Brandon's thoughts, just let me know.""I will. Don't worry about us, though. You just gave birth. Your main priority should be resting," Valarie said."Okay," Nyla replied.Valarie lingered in the bedroom for a while, but when she saw Nyla looking tired, she stood up and left.Downstairs, only Brandon was in the living room.Valarie walked over to him and asked, "Where's Damon?""He had something to take care of for work, so he went to the study. How's Aunt Nyla?" Brandon asked."She seems to be doing well, and the baby is adorable. Oh, right, I forgot to ask what the baby's name is. I only know her nickname is Bunny," Valarie said.Just thinking about Mia Sumner's cute little face made Valarie smile. She was already looking forward to the day the baby would call her godmother.A flicker of something crossed Brandon's eyes. "You really like kids, huh?""Of course! I've said befor

Once they were in the car, Nyla suddenly recalled Damon's phone call earlier. "By the way, what did Alexander want?"After a brief pause, Damon glanced at her. "He said Ms. Kinsey left you an inheritance and asked when we'd be able to go to Meristate to take care of it."Nyla pressed her lips together before replying, "Call him later and tell him to donate it or keep it for himself. I don't want it.""Alright," Damon replied.When they arrived home, Damon helped Nyla settle onto the couch, placing a pillow behind her back for support. Then, he said seriously, "Nyla, you've been through enough. Let's not have any more kids after this."During her first pregnancy with Mason, Damon hadn't been around, so he hadn't realized how difficult it was for her.Now, experiencing this pregnancy with her, every checkup and blood draw made his heart ache.Once Nyla gave birth, he planned to get a vasectomy. Two kids were enough for them.Nyla shot him a look. "This wasn't exactly planned, was

More than half an hour later, Nyla finally stirred from her nap.When she opened her eyes, she found Damon sitting by her bed, watching her. She froze for a moment, caught off guard.Rubbing her eyes, she realized he was still there and confirmed she wasn't dreaming.She slowly sat up, her voice still heavy with sleep. "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in your study working?""I missed you, so I came to see you," Damon replied.Nyla narrowed her eyes. "You definitely have something to say if you're here all of a sudden."Damon chuckled, a little helpless. "I guess I can't fool you.""Of course not. I know you too well. Ever since I got pregnant, you've never come to see me like this in the afternoon," Nyla said."Alright. Go freshen up first, and I'll wait for you downstairs," Damon suggested."Okay," Nyla replied.After washing up, she went downstairs and sat beside Damon. "Alright, tell me. What's going on? You're acting all mysterious."Damon hesitated for a moment befo
