Chapter 74

Author: Hello Spring
Seeing the clear displeasure in Clark's eyes, Spencer spoke up. "Mr. Clark, Ms. Jayston is going on a business trip with Mr. Damon. I'm here to help her with her luggage."

As he reached out to take Nyla's suitcase, a hand blocked his way.

"If I remember correctly, she works for Park Pharmaceuticals. Why should she go on a trip with my uncle?" Clark questioned.

The thought of Nyla spending time with Damon made Clark's eyes flash with anger. As a man, he knew that Damon's gaze on Nyla wasn't purely familial.

"Prospectus Technology's evaluation team is out of town, and the factory Mr. Damon is inspecting produces the exact ingredients Ms. Jayston needs for her research. So, she's been arranged to accompany him," Spencer explained.

Clark sneered. "If my uncle needs someone, I can pull a few people from the Sumner Group."

Nyla frowned. "Clark, this is my job. Can you not cause trouble?"

Seeing her cold expression, Clark felt his heart sink. Did she not realize Damon had other intenti

    Clark vowed to repay this humiliation one day.Inside the car, Nyla could feel the tension radiating from Damon, who was clearly in a bad mood. Although he was reading through some documents, his stern profile and the cold aura around him were unmistakable."Mr. Sumner, I'm sorry about what happened this morning," Nyla said, breaking the silence.Damon turned to her and frowned slightly, noticing her guilty expression. "Why are you apologizing?""I didn't handle my personal matters well and ended up troubling you..."Damon's gaze darkened, and his tone betrayed his displeasure. "That's Clark's fault, not yours. Don't worry about it."He couldn't understand how the Sumners produced such a jerk. Not only had Clark cheated, but he also had the audacity to keep pestering Nyla.Nyla was surprised by Damon's response. After recalling how he had previously offered to introduce her to a divorce lawyer, it made sense. It seemed that he wasn't as unreasonable as Clark had made him out to

    Nyla's eyes flashed with annoyance when she saw Clark's name on the caller ID, and she hung up immediately. He called several more times but finally gave up when she didn't answer.On the other end, Clark threw his phone on the floor in anger, his expression dark and menacing. "Michael, send someone to Rontana to keep an eye on things. I want to know immediately if anything goes wrong."He didn't want to be kept in the dark if he was being cheated on.Michael thought about advising against it but didn't dare after seeing Clark's gloomy face. "Alright, I'll handle it."After Michael left, Clark stared at the documents on his desk, his brows knitted in frustration.He couldn't focus on a single word. The thought of Nyla potentially spending time alone with Damon made him feel like a swarm of ants was crawling all over his heart.However, given his current position, he couldn't afford to go against Damon.A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts. The office door opened, reveali

    Clark held Jordyn's waist tightly, losing himself in his frenzied release, his eyes dark and brooding.After what felt like an eternity, just when Jordyn thought she might pass out, Clark finally pressed into her one last time as they both reached their climax.When it was over, Jordyn was about to pick up her underwear when a sharp pain shot through her abdomen. Her face, which had been flushed moments ago, turned pale."Clark... my stomach hurts..."Clark's expression changed as he remembered that Jordyn was still in the early stages of pregnancy and that he hadn't held back at all. He quickly scooped her up and rushed out of the office.…That evening, Nyla received a message from Spencer and was about to head out when her phone buzzed with an alert from the private investigator.After reading the message, her face turned ashen.Clark had been calling her earlier, and now he was in the hospital after having sex with his mistress.The sheer disgust she felt was overwhelming.

    It seemed there might be some issues with Skyray Medical's goods.Nyla lowered her gaze, thought for a few seconds, and then said, "Okay, I'm in Room 802. Ms. Quinn, you can come directly."Soon, Zoe arrived. Nyla opened the door and stepped aside to let her in.After they sat down, Zoe handed her a bag with a smile. "Ms. Jayston, this is your scarf. Please check if everything is in order."The moment Nyla took the bag, she knew it weighed more than just a scarf. She picked up the scarf and saw several stacks of cash underneath, roughly estimating around 30,000 dollars. Nyla put the scarf back and pushed the bag toward Zoe. "Ms. Quinn, this scarf is too valuable. I can't accept it."Zoe's smile didn't waver, her voice gentle. "Ms. Jayston, it's not valuable at all. We might have many more opportunities to meet in the future."Nyla pressed her lips together, her expression calm as she looked at Zoe. "Ms. Quinn, what do you want me to do?""Ms. Jayston, you're an evaluation spec

    "It hurts..." Nyla muttered, sweat breaking out on her forehead. Her delicate brows were tightly knitted, and her face was ghastly pale.The doctor arrived with her medication for gastritis around the same time.The intention was to have her take the medicine first. However, she was clenching her teeth so tightly that it was impossible to get her to swallow the pills.In this situation, the only option was to administer IV fluids.Once the IV was set up, the doctor turned to Damon and said, "When she wakes up, give her some light foods like chicken soup.""Got it."After giving a few more instructions, the doctor and the staff left."Mr. Sumner, maybe you should go get some rest. I'll keep an eye on Ms. Jayston," Spencer suggested.Damon glanced down at his hand, still tightly gripped by Nyla. His expression darkened.While the doctor had been setting up the IV earlier, he had tried to pry her hand away but had failed, which was why Nyla's other hand was used for the IV."Do

    Nyla was dazed for a few seconds before she felt an indescribable warmth well up inside her.After getting up, washing up, taking her medicine, and eating her chicken soup, she decided to thank Damon properly. After all, she had been holding onto his hand all night, and he probably hadn't had a good rest.When she reached the door of the room next door, it opened from the inside just as she reached out to knock.Damon, with slightly damp hair and dressed in a fresh outfit, seemed to have just taken a shower."Mr. Sumner, I came to thank you for last night. I appreciate it," Nyla said.Seeing Nyla's eyes lowered, her hands awkwardly clasped in front of her, Damon thought she seemed a bit uncomfortable and nervous around him.Upon realizing this, his mood unexpectedly soured. He pressed his thin lips together."There's no need for thanks. Just make sure to speak up if you're feeling unwell next time. Don't make things difficult for others," he said.His indifferent tone made Nyla

    Nyla pressed her lips together and said, "It's clear that the people at Skyray Medical are eager to secure this partnership. They might even send someone to follow us. If they find out we're going to the herb production base, they might prepare in advance."This meant they wouldn't be able to assess the true quality of the herbs at the base.Spencer smiled and said, "Don't worry, Ms. Jayston. We have ways to evade Skyray Medical's people."Relieved to hear they had a plan, Nyla nodded and said no more.…Around 2:00 p.m., a car arranged by Spencer arrived at the hotel to pick them up.Shortly after they got in, the driver glanced at the rearview mirror and said, "We're being followed."Spencer remained calm. "Ignore them."Trying to lose them would only alert Skyray Medical. By acting unaware, they could keep Skyray Medical's people complacent.In less than half an hour, the car stopped at the entrance of the busiest mall in Rontana. They got out and walked into the mall, with

    Upon noticing the strong, firm hand around her waist and feeling its warmth seeping through the thin fabric, Nyla's face turned bright red. She quickly steadied herself, avoiding eye contact."Thank you, Mr. Sumner," she said.Damon withdrew his hand nonchalantly and said in a deep voice, "Watch where you're stepping even when looking at herbs."Nyla nodded. "Got it."From then on, Nyla was careful to watch her step, determined not to trip again. "These are the dried rauvolfia."A staff member casually handed a dried rauvolfia root to Damon, who inspected it briefly before passing it to Nyla."Take a look," he said.The rauvolfia looked no different from the ones Skyray Medical had shown them that morning. They would need to test it to determine the active ingredient content.Nyla turned to the staff member and asked, "Typically, what's the alkaloid content in rauvolfia?""It's usually around 0.1%. Anything higher is quite rare," the staff member replied.Actually, 0.1% was a

    Delia stared at Emerald, her eyes wide with disbelief, filled with confusion and helplessness. "I just wanted to move out. When did I say I wanted to sever ties with you?""Moving out is the same as severing ties, isn't it? I told you I wouldn't give you another penny. After you leave, are you really going to stay in contact with me?" Emerald asked.Delia was momentarily choked by Emerald's words. It took her a while to respond. "I just want to become independent, not sever ties with you."Of course, deep down, she also wanted to prove that the man she loved wasn't wrong. She had decided long ago that she would never marry anyone but Andre.Emerald didn't look at her and said nothing further.Delia sat down, continuing to stare at her. "Mom, how did you suddenly collapse and end up in the hospital? Do you have any test results? Let me see them."Emerald's tone remained cold. "Don't worry. I'm not going to die.""Mom, don't say such ominous things!" Delia whined.Emerald pursed

    Emerald shook her head, wanting to refuse, but suddenly her vision went black, and she fainted.When she regained consciousness, she found herself in a hospital room. She stared at the ceiling for a few seconds, recalling how she had collapsed in the study earlier.Fully awake now, she sat up slowly and noticed an IV in her arm. She couldn't help but frown.The door to the room opened, and Filipe walked in.When he saw that Emerald had woken up, a look of relief flashed in his eyes. "Madam, you're finally awake! You've been unconscious for an entire day!"Emerald could hardly believe what she was hearing. Her frown intensified, and she asked, "How could I have been unconscious for so long?""The doctor said you've been sleep-deprived for a long time, and with the recent emotional strain, it caused you to cough up blood.“From now on, you need to get at least eight to ten hours of sleep each day, or your health will continue to decline," Filipe explained.Emerald's face darkened

    "We'll see how long you can hold out!" Emerald challenged.Delia sneered. "Fine, you said it. Don't go back on your word!""Don't worry, I won't." With that, Emerald turned sharply and walked away.Once in her study, she sank into a chair. Her icy expression slowly turned to one of exhaustion.She had spent years fighting to become the head of the Nixons. But now, one of her children had lost a leg in a plot, and the other was infatuated with a man utterly unworthy of her.For the first time, she felt like a failure.Even though she had finally gained control of the Nixons, what was the point? She was still alone.Lost in thought, Filipe hurriedly knocked and entered. "Madam, Mr. Jayston was secretly taken from the hospital!"Emerald's angry voice echoed. "What were those people at the hospital doing? How could they let him be taken, with so many people watching?"Harrison was her only leverage over Nyla. If he disappeared, she would lose control of Nyla. But, as she considere

    Suddenly, the door to the private room was pushed open, and several men in black rushed in.When Delia saw they were Emerald's subordinates, she immediately set her wine glass down, her face contorting in a grimace. "What are you doing here?!"Seeing the group, Andre looked surprised for a moment before raising an eyebrow. He swirled his wine glass without saying a word.The leader stepped forward, bowing slightly before addressing Delia. "Ms. Nixon, Madam sent us to bring you back to the estate."Delia's expression changed, panic and fear filling her eyes. The moment those men entered, she had a sinking feeling, and now it was confirmed.Emerald had forbidden her from associating with Andre, and now that Delia was sneaking around with him, her mother must be furious. She could already imagine the anger awaiting her return to the estate.Grounding her teeth, Delia stubbornly said, "I'm not going back!"The men in black exchanged a glance before one spoke slowly. "Madam said if y

    There was a long silence on the other end.After a while, Filipe spoke. Yes... so Madam broke his leg too."Brian gripped the phone tightly, as if he were about to crush it. He had lost his own leg because of Darcy's scheming, along with the opportunity to inherit the Nixons. Yet Emerald only broke Darcy's leg?To Brian, that wasn't enough. He wanted Darcy to suffer so much that death would seem preferable to living."Got it." With that, Brian hung up.The maid, trembling, watched as he clutched her phone, afraid he might throw it in anger.Fortunately, Brian soon handed the phone back to her. "Leave."The maid nodded quickly and left the room.Once alone, Brian picked up his phone and dialed a number. "Bring Darcy to my villa's basement. He lost a leg, don't treat him, but don't let him die."After ending the call, Brian glanced at the empty space beside his bed where his leg used to be. A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.It wasn't long before Emerald heard that Brian had

    Who would let a disabled man inherit the Nixons?Emerald's expression shifted slightly as she gritted her teeth. "Why not?""Even if you're willing, the other members of the Nixons wouldn't be," Brian retorted.Before his accident, many had already criticized his lack of ability and opposed him inheriting the family business. Now that he'd lost a leg, those people were even less likely to let him take over.No matter how hard he worked from now on, he would never inherit the Nixons.Emerald's face darkened. "It's normal for others to give up on you, but if you give up on yourself, that's it—you'll be beyond saving."With that, she stopped talking and turned to leave.Watching her go, Brian subconsciously clenched the blanket in his hands. He didn't want to give up on himself, but the situation was forcing him to.The more he thought about it, the darker his mood became.…Emerald returned to her study.It wasn't long before Filipe knocked and entered. "Madam, Mr. Salter is h

    After the maid left, Warren dialed Emerald's number. "I heard Edward woke up. Is that true?"Emerald, on her way back to the estate, furrowed her brow. "Yes.""So, what's your plan now? Once Edward recovers, he'll want you to return control of the Nixons to him," Warren asked.A flash of frustration crossed Emerald's face. "We'll see. I have things to take care of, so I'll talk to you later."She hung up and set her phone down, still unsettled.The land issue remained unresolved, and now Edward had woken up. The people who were already unhappy with her because of the land might side with Edward. She needed to come up with a solution, or things could spiral out of control quickly.She had finally secured her position. Even if Edward recovered, she wasn't going to give it up without a fight.As she thought it over, George's call came through. "Ms. Kinsey, we've captured Darcy. Should we bring him to the estate now?"A cold glint crossed Emerald's eyes. "Yes."…Upon returning t

    "I'll handle things with Nyla's father. Now that my aunt is looking for you and Nyla, you two should stay in and avoid being seen by anyone for now," Alexander said.Damon nodded. "Got it."Just as Alexander was about to speak, his phone rang.His face instantly darkened after he answered the call. He stood up and said, "I have to go. If you need anything, just call me."With that, he quickly left.Once he stepped out of Damon's villa, he got into the car and told the driver, "Take me to the Kinseys."…An hour later, Alexander's car arrived at the Kinsey residence. He got out and rang the doorbell.When the maid saw him, she hesitated. After all, Warren had given strict orders to cut ties with Alexander. If he showed up again, they were instructed not to open the door.Noticing the maid's hesitation, Alexander furrowed his brow and said in a low voice, "Open the door."After a brief pause, the maid nervously looked at him and replied, "Mr. Alexander, it's not that I don't wa

    If there were nothing special, Vik wouldn't possibly go to Chyland."We're not sure yet, but he's the only one going for now," George replied.Emerald furrowed her brow, sensing that something was off. She said coldly, "Stop him. Don't let him leave the country.""Understood," George answered."Have you found any leads on Nyla? Any clues?" Emerald asked."No, not yet," George replied.Emerald instructed, "Keep looking."After hanging up, Emerald placed her phone on the desk, her face clouded with anger.Where were Nyla and Damon hiding? Even George couldn't track them down. It seemed she would have to speak with Ross.…The next morning, Emerald went straight to Ross' residence.When Ross saw her, he smiled, appearing in a good mood. "Emerald, what brings you here today?"Emerald got straight to the point. "Ross, where have you hidden my daughter?"Ross raised an eyebrow in surprise.
