Chapter 41

When Nyla caught Clark cheating with Jordyn, it had such a profound impact on her that her mind had gone blank, and she had even forgotten to record video evidence.However, knowing Jordyn's persistence, she would definitely continue pursuing Clark. Once they rekindled their relationship, Nyla could obtain evidence to force Clark to agree to a divorce.Nyla and Clark had been together for eight years, and she didn't want to resort to plotting against him. But he refused to divide their assets and wouldn't agree to a divorce, so she felt she had no other choice.After Nyla explained her requirements to the private detective, their conversation ended. She opened her banking app and stared at the remaining balance of close to 1,000,000 dollars, lost in thought. She needed to find a way to make this money her personal asset.As she was contemplating, her phone suddenly rang. She was surprised to see it was Genevieve."Genevieve, what's up?""Nyla, Mr. Sumner, the CEO of Prospectus Te

As soon as Mabel heard that, her face paled further. Her mother had been in a car accident half a month ago, and the surgeries and hospitalization had already cost 7,000-8,000 dollars. Her savings were nearly depleted. If her father couldn't find a job soon, they wouldn't be able to afford the medical expenses next month.Lucia's father was an executive at a subsidiary of Prospectus Technology, so pleasing Lucia could easily secure her father a job. This was why Mabel was willing to be Lucia's lackey.Her hesitant gaze hardened as she looked at Lucia and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say."Lucia showed no surprise at this. She raised an eyebrow with a smile. "Good. As long as you handle this well, I'll have my dad arrange a job for your father tomorrow."After Mabel left, Lucia glanced toward the lab with a smirk.…Meanwhile, Nyla ground the drugs and sequentially added them into a beaker along with the solvent, using a glass rod to initiate dissolution. Once the reaction was near

"Mr. Sumner!"Genevieve stared in panic at Damon's back. If anything happened to him in the lab, her position as the head of the R&D department would be in jeopardy.Nyla quickly backed away, raising her hand to shield her face. Some of the liquid sprayed directly onto her hands, causing quick burns that left black scars, the pain almost making her cry out.Suddenly, a suit jacket covered her head, and her wrist was firmly grasped. Through the gap in the clothing, she saw the distinct knuckles of the hand holding hers, dry and warm against her skin.In a daze, before Nyla could react, the person had already pulled her to the nearby sink, turning on the faucet and rinsing the areas of her hands burned by the concentrated sulfuric acid.It wasn't until the water flowed over the back of her hands that she snapped back to reality, quickly pulling the suit jacket off her head and withdrawing her hands from Damon's grasp."Mr. Sumner... I can handle this myself..." She lowered her gaze

Genevieve paused, looking at Damon in disbelief. From her limited interactions with him, she knew he wasn't the type to go out of his way to help others. He certainly wouldn't personally escort an employee from a company he had invested into the hospital.Lucia knew Damon was Clark's uncle, but hearing him offer to take Nyla to the hospital sparked a wave of jealousy. She had seen Damon on TV, when he founded Prospectus Technology, and admired him greatly. Meeting him in person, she found him even more handsome than on screen and was instantly smitten.Moreover, while Damon and Clark were uncle and nephew, their positions in the business world differed vastly. If Lucia could be with Damon, she could easily overshadow Nyla in the future.Thinking this, she quickly said, "Nyla, I'll accompany you. It's inconvenient for you to go alone and handle registration and such."Nyla glanced at Lucia. Initially surprised by Lucia's sudden kindness, she understood when she noticed Lucia's linge

"Who said I'm not pursuing it?""How do you plan to pursue it?" Nyla looked at Damon, somewhat unsure. If he wanted money, she had just sold that house in Karlinan, so she should be able to afford it. She just hoped he wouldn't ask for too much.Her demeanor, in Damon's eyes, resembled that of a startled rabbit, evoking a sense of pity. He involuntarily frowned. "Do you always stare at men like that?"Nyla lowered her gaze. Weren't they talking about his injury? What did her gaze have to do with anything?Before she could come up with a response, Damon continued. "You said someone switched your reagents today? If someone really targeted you, I'll hold the mastermind responsible when Genevieve finds out the truth."As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator reached the first floor."Let's go. We need to treat the injuries first."With that, Damon walked out.Since he was going to the hospital for treatment as well, Nyla didn't dwell on it. Besides, it wasn't convenient to hai

Clark stared expressionlessly at Damon, a hint of mockery flickering in his eyes. "What do I mean? I think you understand very well, Uncle Damon. Besides the one overseas, you've never shown any interest in women before. Now you're making exceptions multiple times for Nyla. Don't tell me it's out of respect for me.""As her husband, you're never around when she's wronged. Instead of reflecting on yourself, you're lecturing me." Damon's expression darkened, and he exuded an oppressive aura that sent shivers down one's spine.Clark's confidence visibly wavered. "Next time something like this happens, please inform me in advance, Uncle Damon. I don't want any other men near my wife. I hope you understand."Damon sneered lightly. "I'm not that free. If you need others to inform you about her situation, maybe your marriage doesn't need to continue."With that, he walked away. He didn't even glance at Clark's displeased face.Only after Damon disappeared at the end of the hallway did Cl

"I'll take you back. With your hand injured, it's inconvenient for you to cook. You should move back to the villa for now. Once your injury heals, you can go back to your rental place."There was a flash of dissatisfaction in Nyla's eyes as she looked at Clark in displeasure. "I'm just injured, not paralyzed. I can take care of myself."They locked eyes for a moment, and Clark eventually relented. "Fine. Then I'll have the maid prepare meals and deliver them to you every day."Seeing Nyla still wanting to refuse, he added in a low voice, "Choose between coming back to the villa with me or having the maid send you meals."Having been with Clark for eight years, Nyla knew his personality well. He was never easy to persuade. If she refused again, he might actually go as far as forcing her back to the villa and keeping her there. "I'll choose the second option."The tension in Clark's lips finally relaxed at her words, and his gaze softened as he looked at her. "I'll send you back."

Chapter 48

In just over an hour, Mabel appeared several times on the surveillance footage. By the third time, she seemed visibly flustered. If the labels of dilute sulfuric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid had indeed been swapped, Mabel was undoubtedly the prime suspect.Genevieve stopped the surveillance footage and instructed her assistant to notify Mabel to come to her office.Upon hearing that Genevieve wanted to see her, Mabel immediately became nervous, glancing involuntarily at Lucia, who was sitting diagonally across from her.However, Lucia didn't even look her way, appearing calm and nonchalant as if nothing was amiss. Left with no choice, Mabel reluctantly followed Genevieve's assistant to the office.Just as she arrived at the door, her phone vibrated—it was a message from Lucia.Lucia: [No matter what Genevieve asks, insist that you have nothing to do with it. You don't know anything. If you dare to drag me into this, you know the consequences.]Mabel replied with an "Okay",

Mabel's hands trembled with fear as she spoke in a shaky voice. "Just now, Genevieve told me that a team from Prospectus Technology came over. They collected several fingerprints from the labels of dilute and concentrated sulfuric acid. They're going to collect our fingerprints this afternoon to compare."Lucia's gaze darkened as she gritted her teeth, staring at Mabel. "You fool! Didn't you know you should wear gloves when you swapped the labels?""I... I was too panicked. I just forgot... and by the time I remembered, it was too late..." Mabel was on the verge of tears. "Lucia, what do I do... You have to help me..."Lucia looked impatient. "How can I help you? Can I magically change another person's fingerprints?"When Nyla's flask exploded during the experiment, Damon's secretary immediately ordered the lab and adjacent reagent storage room to be sealed off. They never had a chance to wipe the fingerprints off the labels. Moreover, Lucia hadn't expected Mabel to be so foolish a

Surprise flickered in Nyla's eyes when she saw the latest luxury bag of the season in Michael's hands."Why would he suddenly send me a purse?""Mr. Sumner said you weren't in a good mood, so he wanted to send you a gift to cheer you up."Nyla didn't particularly desire luxury bags, but since Clark sent it, she had no reason to refuse. She nodded and took the purse from Michael."Alright. Please thank him for me."Seeing that Nyla didn't seem particularly thrilled, Michael tentatively asked, "Mrs. Sumner, you don't like the bag?""It's fine. I prefer gold over bags, though."After all, gold had better liquidity and could also be crafted into beautiful jewelry.Michael was stunned, not expecting Nyla's preferences to be so plain and blunt."Alright, understood. I'll let Mr. Sumner know. I'll head back to work now."After seeing Michael off, Nyla returned to the living room, placed the bag on the table, and took a few photos to send to Valarie.Valarie: [?]Nyla: [Help me che
