Chapter 453

Author: Hello Spring
Clark had essentially been cheated on!

Seeing Clark's grim expression, Michael lowered his head and said nothing.

Although others might not realize it, he was well aware that Clark had been keeping tabs on Nyla despite their divorce. It was clear that, even though he hated her, he still had feelings for her. Learning that she was pregnant with Damon's child would naturally infuriate him.

"Mr. Sumner—" Michael began.

"Get out!" Clark roared.

Michael quickly turned and left. As soon as he closed the office door, he heard the sound of objects being thrown inside.

After lunch, Nyla suddenly remembered while resting on the sofa that she had taken birth control pills before—so why was she still pregnant?

She hurriedly opened her medicine cabinet and found the pills she had taken. To her shock, they had expired over a year ago!

She couldn't help but smack her forehead. How could she have not checked the expiration date of the pills when she took them? How could she have been so car

    Nyla pulled Valarie to the end of the hallway and said softly, "The baby is Damon's."Valarie's eyes widened in shock. "Damon? When did this happen?"She had thought Nyla and Damon were completely over, so hearing that Nyla was pregnant with his child was startling.Nyla's gaze flickered as she lowered her eyes. "It was an accident... We were both drunk...""How much did you drink to end up like this? And does Damon know about your pregnancy?" Valarie asked.Nyla shook her head. "He doesn't know, and there's no need to tell him. I don't plan on getting back together with him."Valarie fell silent. For Nyla, keeping the baby wasn't feasible right now, but..."What if Damon finds out someday?" Valarie asked.Nyla remained indifferent. "Even if he finds out, it won't change anything between us.""Alright then..." Valarie looked at Nyla's slightly pale face with sympathy.Nyla pleaded, "Valarie, can you please sign for me? Let's just say this baby and I are not meant to be..."D

    Nyla was irritated by the persistent knocking and slowly walked out of her bedroom. She asked, "Valarie, who's at the door?"Valarie turned to her and said softly, "It's Damon."Nyla's hand, resting on the doorframe, grew pale from tension, and her already wan face seemed even more drawn.After a moment of silence, she finally said, "Let him in."Since Damon was already aware of the situation, she couldn't avoid him forever or remain hidden indefinitely."But you—" Valarie's gaze involuntarily dropped to Nyla's stomach, filled with concern.Nyla forced a smile. "It's okay."She had known that a day like this would come the moment she discovered she was pregnant."Alright then," Valarie replied and opened the door.An immediate chill ran down Nyla's spine. Facing Damon up close felt far more oppressive than seeing him through the peephole. An icy dread seemed to rise from her feet.Damon's eyes were calm, but his expression was cold and unreadable. Still, Valarie could sense t

    Nyla looked up at Damon in disbelief. When he first walked in, it was clear he had come to confront her. How had his attitude shifted so suddenly?Seeing the shock in Nyla's eyes, Damon felt a pang in his chest.…When Damon received Clark's call about Nyla's pregnancy, his first reaction was disbelief.Yet, a part of him held onto a sliver of hope, so he immediately sent Spencer to investigate.Spencer quickly confirmed that Nyla was pregnant. However, before Damon could even begin to rejoice, Spencer delivered a blow: "Ms. Jayston underwent an abortion today."Damon's smile froze, and he stood there, stunned. It was as if a bucket of ice-cold water had been poured over him, plunging him into a deep chill.It took several seconds for him to regain his voice, and he questioned Spencer to ensure the information was correct.Spencer, with a troubled expression, handed over the hospital records showing the specific time of the procedure.Overwhelmed by a mix of anger and despair,

    Nyla managed to steel her heart and not want the child. What more could she feel for him?Damon left.A short while later, Valarie walked in, looking hesitant to speak.Nyla pretended not to notice and forced a smile. "Valarie, you've worked hard today. You should head home. I'll manage on my own."Valarie sat down by the bed. After a moment of thought, she spoke softly. "When Damon left earlier, his face was ashen. He must really care about you."Nyla looked down, her expression unchanged. "Before Rebecca showed up, I really cared about him too. Valarie, there's no point in trying to persuade me. It's over between us. I just want to focus on my studies for now and not think about anything else."Valarie knew Nyla was a determined person and sighed. "There's some soup in the thermos. Remember to drink it later. I'm heading out now. If you need anything, just call me.""Got it," Nyla replied.As Valarie went downstairs, she saw Damon still waiting by his car. Knowing he was wait

    Damon's expression remained indifferent. "I've said it before: once you personally apologize to Nyla, Prospectus Technology and the Preston Group will resume their cooperation."Nathaniel gritted his teeth, clearly frustrated that Damon was still fixated on this issue after so long. His face darkened. "Damon, after all these years of brotherhood, must you make things so ugly?"Rebecca's expression flickered briefly. Sitting nearby with her head lowered, she was not noticed by either of the men."You made things ugly yourself. Apologize, or leave now. Prospectus Technology will never work with the Preston Group again," Damon stated dismissively.Damon's cold demeanor felt like a personal affront to Nathaniel as if Damon were disregarding their years of friendship entirely. In that case, Nathaniel decided it was pointless to make things harder for himself.He stood up and looked down at Damon, his voice icy. "Damon, you will regret this. I won't come begging again, and we are no lon

    Troy frowned, wanting to persuade Nathaniel further, but fell silent when faced with Nathaniel's angry gaze. After all, Nathaniel was his boss."Alright. I'll contact Steven right away," he said.After Troy left, Nathaniel gripped the documents in his hand, his eyes flashing with a frenzied intensity. As long as Nyla was out of the way, everything would fall into place....In the evening, Nyla was deeply engrossed in solving a problem when the doorbell abruptly interrupted her concentration.She got up with a frown and went to the door. Her displeasure was evident when she saw Damon on the other side.She opened the door and looked at him blankly. "Mr. Sumner, is there something you need?""I brought you some food and thought I'd check on your recovery," Damon replied.Nyla glanced at the thermal container in his hand. There was a flicker in her gaze, but she didn't take it."I'm fine. Please tell the caregiver not to bring any more food. There's no need for us to keep meetin

    When Nyla saw that it was Clark, a flash of wariness crossed her eyes. She immediately went to the security office to report the situation.Two security guards quickly went downstairs to her building and caught Clark lurking around. They promptly escorted him out of the complex.Clark's face was particularly grim when he saw Nyla standing at the security office, and his humiliation was evident.He approached the security office door and said coldly, "Nyla, come out. I have something to ask you!"With four to five security guards present, Nyla felt secure and wasn't worried about what Clark might do. She stepped outside but stopped a few meters away from him."What do you want to ask?" she inquired.Although she preferred not to engage with Clark, she didn't want him pestering her and affecting her mood either.Clark gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice, "Was the infertility report you gave me back then something you deliberately faked to avoid having my child?!"His tone

    Clark stood for a moment before leaving. On his way back, he couldn't resist calling Michael. "Michael, arrange a medical check-up for me."Michael's voice, filled with concern, came through the line. "Mr. Sumner, is something wrong? Are you feeling unwell?""Just do as I asked. Since when did you start asking so many questions?" Clark snapped, hanging up coldly.His mood was at an all-time low, wrestling with the possibility of infertility and the fear that it might be true.He pulled over to the side of the road, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself. The check-up would reveal the truth. There was no way he could be infertile.And surely, Jordyn wouldn't deceive him!Upon thinking of Jordyn, Clark's gaze hardened. He drove straight to her place.…"Clark, what brings you here? Have you eaten?" Jordyn's eyes lit up with delight as she quickly stepped aside to let him in.Clark entered the living room with a blank expression and sat on the sofa, his cold eyes fixed on

    Valarie widened her eyes in surprise. "Alright, but there are a lot of questions here. It might take me a day or two to finish. You're not in a hurry, are you?""No rush, but the sooner, the better. I really appreciate your help," Damon said.Seeing the sincerity in his eyes, Valarie smiled. "It's no trouble at all. I'm happy to help with the wedding preparations."After parting ways with Damon, Valarie returned to her office.As soon as she sat down, her phone rang. It was Brandon."Valarie, what did my uncle want? Did he give you a hard time?" he asked.Hearing the tension in his voice, Valarie set the file down. "Why would you think he would give me a hard time?"There was a brief silence before Brandon spoke again, his voice low. "I was worried he might blame you for my decision to leave the Sumner Group.""You're overthinking it. He asked me to help with something unrelated. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up," Valarie replied."Valarie—" Brandon began.Before he co

    Damon lowered his head to look at Mason and took the drawing from his hands.The picture showed a family of four—him, Nyla, Mason, and a little girl—standing under a bright blue sky with fluffy white clouds.Damon smiled and pointed to the little girl in the drawing. "Who's this?""That's my little sister. I hope Mommy gives me a baby sister," Mason said earnestly."What if it's a baby brother instead?" Damon asked.Mason paused, then nodded confidently. "If it's a brother, I'll protect him too."Damon's smile deepened at Mason's innocent expression. "Well, it looks like our Buddy is growing up. You're already thinking about protecting your little sibling.""Daddy, when are you and Mommy going to give me a little sibling?" Mason asked."Soon. It won't be long now," Damon answered.Mason's eyes widened with excitement. "Really? Daddy, you're not lying to me, are you?""Of course not. When have I ever lied to you?" Damon asked.Mason huffed. "You've lied to me plenty of times.

    "I've got it. You can let go. I promise I won't drop it," Stefan's roommate reassured him.Stefan's fingers tightened briefly before he slowly released his grip. "Yeah."His roommate carried the cake over to the others, calling them to share. He kept a piece for Stefan.That piece remained untouched until Stefan went to bed.…Over the next few days, Brandon appeared at the Weir Group every day. Sometimes, he brought food; other times, flowers.Valarie was beyond annoyed. She'd told him repeatedly to stop pestering her, but he refused to listen. Eventually, she ignored him altogether.On Friday evening, Valarie spotted Brandon's car parked by the curb as soon as she stepped out of the office.By then, she was used to seeing him there. She walked directly to her car, pretending he didn't exist.Just as she reached it, Brandon called out from behind, "Valarie."Valarie pressed her lips together and turned to face him. "What do you want?""Valarie, are you free tonight?" he ask

    As Stefan stared at the candle, an unreadable emotion flickered in his eyes. He pressed his hands together, closed his eyes, and made a wish.After a moment, he opened his eyes and blew out the candle. "Thank you, Veevee.""No need to thank me. But I'm curious—what did you wish for?" Valarie asked.Stefan smiled. "If I tell you, it won't come true, right?""Fair enough. Here, this is your birthday present," Valarie said.When Stefan saw the black box she handed him, he looked surprised. "Isn't the present all those clothes?""Those were just extras. This is the real gift," Valarie replied.Stefan hesitated, taking the box. "Can I open it now?"Valarie nodded. "Of course."He carefully untied the ribbon and lifted the lid. As soon as he saw what was inside, shock flashed across his face."This is..." he murmured.Inside the box was a key."I bought you an apartment near the university. That way, you won't have to stay in the dorms anymore," Valarie explained.Stefan immedia

    Michelle reached for her phone on the table.Just before her fingers could brush it, Jayden's hand shot out faster, snatching it away.She looked up at Jayden, her teary eyes flashing with defiance. "Give me back my phone!"Jayden took a deep breath and spoke slowly. "Michelle, it's not too late to stop. If you really did send Stefan to get close to Valarie, then tell him to back off."Michelle nodded. "Fine. No matter what I say, you won't believe me. So, let's say I did send him. What are you going to do? Tell Brandon?"Jayden fell silent, unsure of how to respond. Before coming here, he hadn't even considered what he would do if Michelle was behind this.Would he tell Brandon? Or pretend he didn't know?"Whether you were behind this or not, you need to call Stefan and tell him to stop seeing Valarie. If Brandon finds out about your relationship, he won't believe anything you say again," Jayden warned.Michelle's eyes filled with disappointment. "So, you don't believe me eith

    It usually took Stefan ten minutes to walk from the dorm to the school gate, but today, he made it in just five.The moment he saw Valarie, a wave of happiness surged inside him.He knew it now. He had truly fallen for her."I had some errands nearby and happened to pass by your school. Then I remembered I still had something to give you," Valarie explained.Stefan raised an eyebrow in curiosity. "What is it?""You'll find out later. Let's eat first," she suggested.Stefan nodded. "Okay."…Neither Valarie nor Stefan noticed Jayden, who had secretly taken a photo of them from a distance.Behind Jayden, Yale frowned. "Jayden, isn't it a bit inappropriate to secretly take photos of Valarie?"Jayden glanced at him. "What's wrong with it? She's the one sneaking around on Brandon, having dinner with another man. I'm just taking a picture. What's the big deal?""But Valarie and Brandon broke up. She's free to date whoever she wants now. Besides... that guy could be her younger bro

    "What's up?" Jayden asked."You free for dinner tonight?" Yale invited.Jayden checked his schedule—no meetings, no social engagements.Raising an eyebrow, he asked, "Who else is coming?""Just the two of us," Yale replied."Alright, send me the details," Jayden said.…That evening, Jayden pulled up in front of a high-end restaurant in Saintornia.As he stepped out of his car, Yale's voice came from the side. "Jayden, what a coincidence. We arrived at the same time."Jayden looked over, then waited for Yale to catch up before they walked inside together.Once seated in a private room, Jayden studied Yale. "You asked me to dinner alone. There must be something you want to talk about."Yale chuckled. "Can't hide anything from you. Let's order first."After placing their orders and the server left, Yale leaned back and met Jayden's gaze. "What's your plan with Michelle and Brandon? Are you really trying to set them up?"Jayden's fingers tightened slightly around his glass. H

    At present, nothing mattered to Brandon except Valarie. If Jayden insisted on forcing him to see Michelle, their friendship might not survive.Yale nodded. "Got it. I'll mention it, but I won't push it if he doesn't listen."He and Nolan had a clear view of the situation and weren't planning on getting too involved. They didn't want to end up stuck in the middle, trying to please both sides and failing.…The news of Brandon stepping down as CEO of the Sumner Group spread quickly through Saintornia.As soon as Michelle heard about it, she called Jayden."Jayden, I just saw online that Brandon resigned as CEO of the Sumner Group. What's going on?" Her voice trembled with worry.There was a brief silence on the other end before Jayden responded in a low voice. "I don't know yet. I'll ask around.""Jayden, do you think it's because of that exposé you had someone post online? Maybe you should have them take it down. I want to see him, but I don't want him to leave the Sumner Group

    Valarie opened the door and stepped out.After she left, Brandon pulled out his phone and dialed Yale. "Got time for a drink tonight?""Sure. But last I checked, Valarie keeps a tight leash on you. You sure you can go drinking?" Yale asked.Hearing the teasing in Yale's voice, Brandon lowered his gaze. "She doesn't care what I do anymore."She didn't even want him now, so why would she care if he went out drinking?"Alright then. I'll call Nolan and Jayden. You and Jayden need to settle your beef anyway. You two fighting online all the time is just making people laugh at you," Yale grunted.Brandon frowned. "If you invite him, I'm not going. I don't want to see him."If Jayden showed up, the first thing he'd do was try to convince him to see Michelle. And right now, just hearing her name annoyed him.If it weren't for Michelle, things wouldn't have spiraled so far between him and Valarie."Fine, fine. I won't call him. See you at the usual place," Yale said."Yeah," Brandon h
