"Mom, you—" Jordyn began.Before she could finish, her mother's panicked voice interrupted, "Jordyn, Clark sent people to take us to see you. After we ate what they gave us, we fell asleep, and now we're locked in a room. We don't know where we are. Ask Clark what's going on!"A chill ran down Jordyn's spine, and she froze.Clark had actually kidnapped her parents and brother to use as leverage against her!Her mother's anxious voice continued on the line.Jordyn took a deep breath and replied, "Mom, don't worry. Nothing will happen to you. I'll go find Clark."She hung up and immediately headed to the company to find him.…After waiting all day, Jordyn finally saw him leaving the office.As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, she rushed up to him, her teeth clenched. "Clark, this is between us. Let my parents and brother go!""Have you knelt and apologized to Nyla?" Clark asked.His cold glare made Jordyn shiver. She couldn't bring herself to meet his eyes."I..." She

Nyla was stunned. Clark was forcing Jordyn to ask for her forgiveness? Why?As she pondered Clark's recent odd behavior and the unfolding events, her gaze fell upon Jordyn's flat stomach."Is the child you're carrying not Clark's?" she asked.Jordyn's face froze in shock, confirming Nyla's suspicion. Even if the child wasn't Clark's, it seemed unlikely that he would suddenly come to apologize.The only possible explanation was that Clark was truly infertile.If that were the case, everything made sense: why she hadn't gotten pregnant after three years of marriage, why Clark seemed so conflicted and guilty—it all pointed to him being the one who was infertile!Nyla's expression turned cold."Tell him I'm not interested in your problems. And let him know not to come here and disgust me anymore!" she snapped.Previously, Nyla was believed to be infertile, and Clark had used that against her. Now that he knew he was the infertile one, his pretense was utterly revolting."Ms. Jayst

"If you want to die, no one will stop you. But are you really willing to die?" Clark retorted.Jordyn lowered her eyes, unable to meet his gaze.Clark stood up and left without casting another glance at her.…That night, Jordyn attempted suicide. Fortunately, she was found in time and rushed to the hospital, avoiding death.When Clark heard the news, his expression didn't change. Coldly, he said, "Whatever. Let her be."Michael lowered his eyes, feeling a trace of sympathy for Jordyn. No matter what, she had been involved with Clark, yet he was so ruthless. He couldn't help but wonder if Clark would treat him just as coldly one day when he too lost his usefulness.Michael pushed the thought away and left Clark's office.…After spending a few days in the hospital without a visit from Clark, Jordyn realized that he wouldn't care even if she died right in front of him.She knew she had to take a different approach—starting with Nyla.Just as she was about to reach out to Nyla

After people discovered that Jordyn was the mistress who had caused Clark and Nyla's divorce, most condemned her, insisting she deserved it.However, a few believed Nyla was being too harsh, refusing to forgive Jordyn even after she pleaded on her knees outside her apartment.As the situation gained traction, Damon found out as well. He called Clark directly. "What's going on with Jordyn?"Clark raised an eyebrow. "Didn't expect you to hear about this, Uncle Damon.""Clark, Nyla's life is finally back to normal. I'm warning you, stop letting Jordyn harass her!" Damon's voice was piercing.Clark laughed. "I'll return your warning. Stay away from Nyla. I've decided to pursue her again.""Are you out of your mind?" Damon shot back."You don't understand. Nyla and I have years of history. As long as you stop interfering, we'll get back together," Clark insisted, sounding determined.Damon's tone turned frosty. "You're dreaming. She's never going to give you another chance."After

"Nyla..." Before Clark could finish his sentence, the dial tone cut him off.When he tried to call Nyla back, the line was busy.It was obvious that Nyla had taken him off her block list just to make that call, only to block him again afterward.Clark felt a little helpless but couldn't help chuckling. She was still the same as ever, petty when she was mad. He liked her just like that.On the other end, Nyla set her phone down in irritation. She had just managed to distance herself from Damon, and now Clark was hovering around like a persistent fly—disgusting and infuriating.Did he really think his behavior would win her over?Taking a deep breath, she pushed the thought of him out of her mind, picked up her pen, and returned to studying.…For the next few days, everything was calm.Nyla thought the matter was over, but as soon as she stepped out of her apartment complex, she ran right into Clark, who seemed to appear out of nowhere."Nyla, I'd like to talk to you," said Cl

Nyla stopped in her tracks and looked at Damon. "Oh? So?"The coldness in her eyes made Damon's gaze dim slightly, and his voice lowered. "Nothing. I just thought you wouldn't give him another chance.""If you have nothing else to say, Mr. Sumner, please stop bothering me in the future," Nyla replied.His obvious attempt to probe her feelings felt pointless to her. She had no intention of giving Clark another chance, and she certainly wasn't going to give Damon one either.Back home, Nyla decided to stay indoors for a while to avoid running into anyone from the Sumners or Jordyn. She also began considering whether she should rent a place in Capitarnia to focus on preparing for her exams.After all the entanglements with Clark and Jordyn, she strongly felt that staying in Saintornia would only lead to more harassment.With that thought in mind, she picked up the phone and called Caroline.-Clark had just arrived at his villa when he spotted a disheveled Jordyn standing under a

Rebecca pondered for a moment before agreeing with a smile. "Alright, I can help, but there's no need for unnecessary theatrics. I can get your family out, but I won't let them go until you've helped me deal with Nyla."Jordyn's face turned cold as she gritted her teeth. "No need. Just make sure you help them leave when the time comes."If her family fell into Rebecca's hands, it wouldn't be any different than being under Clark's control. She would still be blackmailed into doing things she didn't want to do.Rebecca let out a light laugh, her tone laced with mockery. "Ms. Cheatham, you're not really in a position to make demands. Either I help get your family out, or you figure it out yourself.""Rebecca, you're kicking me while I'm down!" Jordyn hissed.Jordyn's anger didn't faze Rebecca. If anything, it made her smile even wider. "I didn't want to do this, but you handed me this leverage on a silver platter, didn't you?"Silence fell on the other end of the line.The quiet st

Jordyn shook her head. "Mom, it's a long story. I'll explain later. For now, just settle in here. Once everything is taken care of, I'll come get you."Her father frowned, anger evident in his voice. "So, what? We're just supposed to stay locked up in this place?""Dad, just bear with it a little while longer. It won't be much longer, I promise," Jordyn assured him.Before her father could say more, her mother interjected, "Alright, I understand. Jordyn, I don't know what happened between you and Clark, but you have to be patient. Only by enduring can you make things work.""Yeah, I know," Jordyn replied.Nearby, her brother wore a long face as he raised his voice. "Jordyn, I don't care what's going on between you and Clark. I'm going on vacation with my girlfriend next week. If you haven't sorted this out by then, you're going to pay for it!"His tone dripped with impatience and resentment.Having been their parents' golden child his entire life and with Jordyn always yielding

"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, I— 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 should—"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.…On 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 detail—from 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 anyone—I 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 subtly—or sometimes not so subtly—hint 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 her—building 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 meeting—it 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
