NovelBookSeeing Clark's pleading look, Nyla wondered how he had the nerve to seek her out. And to ask her to help for the sake of the love they once shared? If she could go back in time, she would have thrown the flowers right back at him and told him to get lost when he confessed his feelings.
"I can't help you. You caused this, and you should face the consequences," she said.
She brushed past him and headed for the elevator.
Nyla had barely taken two steps when he grabbed her hand.
Clark's eyes were bloodshot, and his once-handsface was contorted with rage, making him look somewhat terrifying.
"Nyla, are you really this heartless? When we divorced, you took over 700,000 dollars from me, and now you won't even ask Damon for help? I'll ask you one more time: Are you going to helpor not?!" Clark's eyes were wide with resentment, and his breathing was ragged.

Clark was clearly agitated. Who knew what he might do if she refused? "Fine... I'll talk to him for you. Just calm down..." she coaxed.
Clark hesitated, skeptical. "Really?" Nyla nodded, trying to keep him calm.
"Really, I'll go see him right now," she said.
Clark seemed to relax a little, but then he remembered how she had tricked him before, and his anger flared up again. "You're lying! You've lied tobefore!" Seeing the dangerous look in his eyes, Nyla involuntarily trembled.
"I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, you can cwith me," she said.
Clark smirked. "Yeah, I think I should go with you." Nyla thought she had him calmed down. Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she felt the cold edge of a knife against her waist.
It was chilly that morning, so she had thrown on a coat before leaving. Now, with Clark holding the knife against her waist, it looked as though he was simply putting his arm around her.
Nyla cursed inwardly. Clark was truly insane! "What are you doing?" she asked.
"I don't trust you. And how do I know what you'll do when you see Damon? This way, I can make you' Dreally plead for me," Clark explained.
Nyla's palms were sweaty with nerves.
sure With Clark already threatening her with a knife, there was no telling what else he might do.
"I can only ask him to help you, but we're not together anymore. He with Rebecca now, soche probably won't listen to me," Nyla clarified.
"Don't worry. He will listen to you. Stop talking and move!" Clark ordered, pulling her toward the elevator.

In the basement, several Prospectus Technology employees discreetly took photos while waiting for the elevator and shared them in the company group chat. Soon, gossip began to spread.
[No way, is Nyla really that shady? She just broke up with Mr. Damon, and now she's back with her ex-husband...]
[If I remember correctly, her ex-husband is already remarried. So, does that mean she's willingly being n the other woman?] [She sure has stricks, huh? Playing both Sumner men like this.] Before long, the photo reached Damon's phone.
Seeing the two of them looking so close, his face darkened immediately.
He stood up, about to go downstairs and confront Nyla, when Spencer knocked and entered the office.
"Mr. Damon... Ms. Jayston and Mr. Clark are here..." Spencer informed cautiously.
Damon frowned and said coldly, "Let them in!" As Nyla and Clark entered the office, Damon immediately sensed something was off.
