Chapter 221
Nyla shook her head. “That’s not what I meant I just want to say that, whether or not the divorce goes through, I’m very grateful to you, Uncle Damon.”
“I don’t need your gratitude in words,” Damon replied.
Nyla looked up, meeting Damon’s deep, penetrating gaze. Unease washed over her, and she quickly averted her eyes.
“Then… what do you want?” she asked.
I
“Once you’ve divorced him, I’ll tell you what I want,” Damon answered.
Nyla bit her lower lip. “Alright.”
It wasn’t until she left Damon’s office that she finally felt the weight of his intense, probing gaze lift.
Nyla let out a breath of relief. A vague idea of what Damon might want lingered in her mind, but since she had already.made up her mind, she wouldn’t regret whatever she had to sacrifice.
As she reached the elevator, she ran into Erin coming out.
Upon seeing her, Erin’s eyes narrowed, and the smile on her face vanished instantly. “Ms. Nyla, if I’m not mistaken, this is the CEO’s office, not your lab,” Erin remarked. Erin, being a woman herself, could easily tell that Nyla had put extra effort into her appearance today. The thought that it might be to seduce Damon made her grip her documents tighter, her knuckles turning white as she glared at Nyla.
Nyla remained calm. “Ms. Hulle, I don’t believe I’m your subordinate, so where I go isn’t your concern.”
Erin sneered. “I just wanted to remind you that you’re Clark’s wife, Damon’s niece–in- law. You’d do well to remember your place.”
“There’s no need for you to remind me of that,” Nyla retorted.
As Nyla stepped into the elevator, she looked back at Erin and said, “Ms. Hulle, don’t think that hiding behind others and scheming won’t eventually catch up with you. Walk the path long enough, and you’ll run into something nasty.”
What did she mean by that?
Erin’s expression shifted as she realized that Hyla was referring to Jacqueline’s plot against Valarie,
The elevator doors closed, cutting off Nyla’s cold stare.
Erin took a deep breath to steady herself, No matter what suspicions Nyla harbored, she couldn’t possibly have any evidence.
Erin needed only to focus on making Damon fall in love with her. Once she married him, dealing with Nyla would be as simple as saying the word.
That evening, after work, Nyla drove to the hospital to visit Harrison.
As she reached the door of his hospital room, she heard the sound of an argument inside. She quickly pushed the door open and was shocked to see Jordyn standing there.
“Jordyn, what are you doing here?!” Nyla demanded, her eyes narrowing.
Everyone in the room turned to look at her.
Jordyn’s smile deepened.
“Ms. Jayston, I just came to check on Mr. Jayston, but it seems I’m not very welcome here,” Jordyn replied sarcastically.
“Get out of here right now!” Nyla roared.
She had never encountered someone as shameless as Jordyn, who dared to show up at her father’s hospital room and cause trouble.
Jordyn looked at her mockingly. “If I were you, Nyla, I’d divorce Clark. After all, I’m carrying his child,”

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....
