Clark’s commanding tone made Nyla Instinctively frown. “Whether you agree or not, I’m moving out.”
Nyla’s indifferent tone fueled Clark’s anger even more. His voice rose. “Don’t forget, your father’s medical expenses-”
Before he could finish, Nyla coldly interrupted, “Clark, ifI remember correctly, your Uncle Elijah’s son is returning from studying abroad soon: You wouldn’t want your affair to be known to the Summers at this time, would you?”
Elijah Sumner, Clark’s second uncle, wasn’t very capable, so Richard had invested a lot in Elijah’s son. After all, the Sumner Group was so big that they couldn’t give everything to Clark.
Over the years, Clark had always performed well in front of Richard. Now was a crucial time. He couldn’t let Nyla tell Richard about his affair.
Nyla had also considered this point in her choice to move out at this time.
There was silence on the other end of the phone. After a while, there was a low laugh. “Nyla, I never realized before that you were a rabbit that would bite.”
Clark’s voice was chilly, clearly filled with anger.
before but now they were
Nyla lowered her gaze, suddenly feeling a bit sad. They had been so in love before, but now threatening and disgusted with each other. “You taught me this.”
Clark didn’t respond. After a cold laugh, he hung up.
Nyla put down her phone, suppressing the bitterness in her heart, and forced herself not to think about Clark anymore.
Valarie saw the vulnerability flash in Nyla’s eyes as she turned around and sighed inwardly. Nyla had truly loved Clark. It would probably take a long time for her to let go of the pain and disappointment of his betrayal
Once they finished moving and unpacking. Nyla planned to treat Valarie to dinner, but Valarie refused. “I have a date with my boyfriend tonight. Besides, you’ve just moved out, and everything costs money. It’s better to save for now. Let’s wait until you get paid, then you can treat me. It’s almost time for my date, so I’ll leave first. Bye!”
Before Nyla could say anything. Valarie hurriedly left. Knowing that Valarie cared about her, Nyla fel wave of warmth in her heart
Although she had lost love, she still had friendship and family love, which was enough to make her hopeful about life again.
After Valarie left, Nyla didn’t plan to eat out. She decided to go to the grocery store to buy some Seasonings and groceries to cook at home.
With her keys in hand, she walked to the nearest store,

outside. It occurred to her that the weather forecast had indeed mentioned rain In Saintornia recently.
Nyla stood at the entrance, deciding to wait until the rain eased before heading back.
In a black Maybach on the roadside, Spencer Hogg saw Nyla standing at the grocery store entrance and felt a sense of familiarity. He looked a few times before saying, “Mr. Sumner, Isn’t that Ms. Jayston standing at the grocery store entrance?”
Spencer had met Nyla a few times when he accompanied Damon to banquets. However, if he
remembered correctly, Clark and Nyla lived in the southern part of the city. Why would she be there at this hour, without any service staff or drivers?
Damon, who was looking at the documents in the back seat, turned his head to look at the somewhat distressed woman holding a bunch of things and standing awkwardly at the grocery store entrance. He withdrew his gaze and hummed.
“Ms. Jayston seems to be trapped by the rain. Should we give her a ride? Just as Spencer finished speaking–he realized that the temperature in the car had dropped a few degrees.
“Do you have nothing to do?”
Realizing Damon’s displeasure, Spencer quickly explained, “Ms. Jayston is your niece–in–law, isn’t she? If it were another woman, I wouldn’t dare to speak out.
“Besides, we don’t know when this rain will stop. It’s quite dangerous for Ms. Jayston to be outside alone at this late hour.”
Damon scoffed lightly as he recalled how Nyla had gotten the room wrong that night. It had been quite dangerous. Such a foolish woman was rare. If she had encountered another man that night, she might have been taken advantage of.
When Damon didn’t speak, Spencer hesitated and asked, “Mr. Sumner, should we go or…
“You just said she’s my niece–in–law. If I turn a blind eye now, won’t others say I lack empathy?”
“Get in. I’ll take you back,” he said coldly, his face devoid of expression, giving off an intimidating vibe. Nyla took a step back and shook her head. “Uncle Damon, it’s okay. The rain will stop in a while.” Damon frowned seeing how Nyla seemed to be avoiding him. His voice deepened. “Get in the car. Don’t make me say it a third time.”
Nyla couldn’t refuse any longer as Spencer had already put her things in the trunk. She bit her lip and opened the car door to get in. As soon as she sat down, the faint woody fragrance on Damon Invaded her senses, causing her to involuntarily stiffen.

When will the new chapters come...
Author! Why does it always so mean? Like a new character will appear and at the end of the chapter, they're all antagonist who always intend to hurt Nyla. Is there any character who will protect her with no expectation in return of any thing?...
AUTHOR!!! NOTICE THIS PLEASE!!!! I hope that Nyla's heart can be softened with Damon alone like clear things up and make some intimate time with each other. And of course Damon talking to Rebecca will make Nyla go back to her status again. Just a short calmness and joy for Nyla and Damon....
