Nyla had been out for a walk and happened to pass by the Flynn Group.
On impulse, she decided to check in.

"Humph." Nyla sneered and fixed an icy glare on Eric. "Good thing I dropped by. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known your so-called resignation was nothing but an act." "Grandma, that's not it!" Ernest frowned.
Eric's breath caught, and his face turned ghastly pale. "I didn't chere for anything else. I just needed Ernest's help." "Help? What help?" Nyla snapped, ignoring his explanation. "I heard everything! Xander and Theodore both work for the Flynn Group. What right do you have to command them?" "Grandma!" Ernest's voice rose in panic. "Eric only cto borrow them!" "Borrow?" Nyla rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on.
"Ernest, if that's the case, why would you say he still has a say in the company and our family?" "Grandma-” "Don't 'Grandma' me! Ernest, he's just pretending to step back, but in truth, he's still after control of the Flynn Group!" "Grandma, stop!" Ernest snapped, unable to take it any longer.

"Isn't he?" Nyla argued, firm in her stance. "Who wouldn't be tempted by that kind of fortune?"
"A man of honor earns his wealth with dignity!" Ernest took a deep breath and continued, "Eric's not someone driven by money. He's Ferris Scott's son! If he wanted riches, the entire Scott family fortune could've been his. But he turned it down. So why would he fightover this company?" Nyla froze.
Eric... was Ferris' son?
Eric drove back to Hadley's place.
Since he couldn't secure extra help, he would stay a and guard her himself.
Even though she didn't want to see him, he couldn't stop himself from wanting to do something for her.
