Your Uncle’s My Husband Now Back Off Ex (Nyla and Clark) novel Chapter 194

**Through Unseen Doors We Step Into Untold Worlds Beyond by Sage Hunter Lane**

**Chapter 194**

Cyrus’s voice cut through the air like a blade, sharp and demanding. “Who gave you those documents?”

Clark stood across from him, his expression icy, a mask of betrayal etched on his face. “Nyla sent these documents to me. Dad, did you really have something to do with the Harris Pharmaceuticals incident six years ago?” The weight of his question hung heavily between them, like a storm cloud threatening to unleash its fury.

Cyrus’s anger erupted, his voice booming with indignation. “How can you believe a woman over me?” The disbelief in his tone was palpable, as if he couldn’t fathom how his son could dare to question his integrity.

Clark’s response was measured, but the hurt was evident. “It doesn’t matter whether I believe you or not,” he replied, his voice steady despite the turmoil within. “What matters is that Nyla is using these documents to force me into a divorce. She said if I don’t agree, she’ll turn them in to the police.” The revelation struck Cyrus like a physical blow, and Clark could see the gears turning in his father’s mind.

“What?!” Cyrus’s teeth ground together, his fury igniting like a wildfire. “She must not be allowed to take those documents to the police!” The desperation in his voice was unmistakable, a man cornered and willing to fight tooth and nail to protect his interests.

Clark’s lips curled into a bitter smile, a mixture of resignation and sorrow washing over him. He had harbored a small hope, a fleeting wish that perhaps Nyla had fabricated the documents, that they were nothing more than a ploy to manipulate him into conceding. But Cyrus’s explosive reaction shattered that hope, revealing the grim truth that lay beneath the surface.

“Dad, why did you do this? How am I supposed to face Nyla now?” Clark’s voice was strained, a plea tinged with confusion and anger.

“I did it all for the Sumner Group,” Cyrus shot back, his tone defensive. “If I hadn’t brought down Harris Pharmaceuticals, do you think the Sumner Group would be where it is today? Do you think you’d be the CEO?” His words dripped with a mix of pride and bitterness, as if he believed his actions were justified by the success they had achieved.

“My position as CEO was earned because Nyla transferred her patent to me. It has nothing to do with you!” Clark hissed, his frustration boiling over. The truth stung like a wasp, and he felt the weight of his father’s actions pressing down on him.

Nyla must have known about this incident long before now, which explained her relentless determination to sever their ties. Her animosity toward him and the Sumners ran deep, a well of resentment that had festered over the years.

Suddenly, her phone buzzed with a message from Valarie, and as she glanced down to reply, she failed to notice the van speeding toward her, closing the distance with alarming speed.

“Watch out!” The terrified shout pierced the air, jolting Nyla from her thoughts. She looked up just in time to see the van barreling toward her, her heart racing as shock washed over her. There was no time to react; the van was too fast, and she felt frozen in place.

Just as the van was about to collide with her, a sleek black Cayenne surged forward, crashing into the van with a deafening roar.

The impact was catastrophic. The van was jolted off course, slamming into a pillar at the courthouse entrance, while the Cayenne rolled violently before erupting into flames.

Screams filled the air, a cacophony of panic and chaos. Some bystanders frantically called for ambulances, while others dialed the police, their voices trembling with fear and urgency.

In that moment of horror, Nyla recognized the Cayenne as Clark’s vehicle, and a wave of disbelief washed over her. Without thinking, she sprinted toward the burning wreckage, her heart pounding in her chest. But just as she reached the car, a strong hand yanked her back, pulling her away from the flames that danced hungrily in the air.
