**Through Unseen Doors We Step Into Untold Worlds Beyond by Sage Hunter Lane**
**Chapter 130**
Cindy inhaled deeply, her chest rising with a mix of determination and dread. “Are you aware of the situation with Nyla and Damon?”
Clark’s face shifted, a flicker of tension crossing his features. The gravity of her question weighed heavily in the air. “So you do know!” Cindy’s voice sharpened, her teeth clenched in frustration. “That woman has the audacity to betray you!”
At Cindy’s vehement accusation, Clark’s brow knitted together in confusion and irritation. “Mom, it’s not what you think. This isn’t about Nyla at all. It’s Uncle Damon who’s being inappropriate.”
Cindy couldn’t contain her disdain. “Inappropriate? Do you really believe I’m that naive?! If she wasn’t throwing herself at Damon, would he even spare her a glance?!” Her tone dripped with skepticism, each word laced with indignation.
Clark’s expression darkened, his patience wearing thin. “If you keep insulting Nyla like this, I’m walking out of here right now.”
Cindy’s heart raced as she saw him rise, her voice rising in protest. “You stop right there! You’re not leaving until I’ve had my say!”
Unfazed by her outburst, Clark continued his stride toward the door. Anger flared in Cindy as she positioned herself in front of him, blocking his escape. “Don’t think you can just walk away from this conversation!”
Clark regarded her with a stoic expression, his eyes betraying none of the turmoil roiling within. “What more do you want to say?”
Cindy pressed on, frustration bubbling over. “You’re just going to stand by and let her cheat on you with your uncle?”
“I’ve already explained it to you, Mom. Nyla has no interest in Uncle Damon. It’s him who’s pursuing her,” Clark insisted, his voice steady but strained.
Cindy scoffed, her disbelief palpable. “Why would Damon be interested in a married woman when he could have anyone he desires? This doesn’t add up!”
“I don’t care who’s chasing whom; we can’t just ignore this!” Cindy shouted, her voice echoing in the tense atmosphere.
Clark’s patience was fraying, his tone turning cold as ice. “What do you expect me to do about it? Damon knows Jordyn is my child. Do you really think making this public will solve anything?”
Exposing Damon’s interest in Nyla would only complicate matters further. For Clark, maintaining the current state of affairs felt like the only viable solution, even if it left a bitter taste in his mouth.
Cindy ground her teeth, frustration boiling over. “Are we really going to let them carry on this affair right under our noses?”
“Mom, I’ve told you a million times, Nyla doesn’t want anything to do with Uncle Damon. I won’t allow anything to happen between them,” Clark shot back, his resolve hardening.
“What do you think I’m doing? Your son is being cheated on, and you’re asking me that?” she snapped, her voice rising with indignation.
Cyrus glared at her, his curiosity piqued. “What’s going on? You need to explain this clearly!”
With a huff, Cindy recounted the conversation she had overheard between Damon and Nyla outside the hospital room, embellishing the details with fervor.
She finished with a biting sneer. “Letting her into the Sumners was the worst decision I’ve ever made!”
Initially, Cyrus’s anger flared at the thought of Clark being cheated on. But when he realized it involved Damon, his expression shifted, a new calculation forming in his mind.
He had been struggling to secure funding for the company, and when he had approached Damon, it was clear that Damon was uninterested in assisting. But if Damon had feelings for Nyla, there was a potential opportunity there.
If he could somehow maneuver Nyla into Damon’s good graces, he might secure the financial backing he desperately needed.
Cindy, noticing Cyrus’s contemplative silence, pressed on, her voice urgent. “What are you going to do about this?”
