Chapter 226
Richard looked at her with a gaze full of superiority. “You don’t have a choice.”
Nyla’s gaze was resolute as she replied, “I have a recording of Clark’s affair. If you don’t agree, I’ll make it public.”
Her determination was clear–she intended to use this opportunity to
divorce Clark.
Richard’s expression remained cold, unaffected by her threat. “Don’t forget, your father is still in the hospital. I don’t want to make things ugly, so I hope you’ll be smart about this. Once this scandal dies down, I’ll arrange for a quiet divorce.” TH
“Why should I believe that you’ll actually let us divorce?” Nyla pressed.
“You have no choice but to trust me. Right now, you don’t have the leverage to negotiate,” Richard stated bluntly.
Nyla’s hands clenched tightly. For a moment, she considered revealing Cyrus‘ plot against Harris Pharmaceuticals, but she held back at the last second. Until she had solid evidence that could send Cyrus to prison, she couldn’t let the Sumners know what she was aware of.
She took a deep breath and told Richard, “One month. If we’re not divorced by then, I’ll go public with Clark’s affair!”
“Fine. Now, let’s discuss how to handle this situation,” Richard replied.
Half an hour later, Nyla and Clark walked out of the Sumner residence.
As soon as they reached the door, Clark grabbed Nyla’s wrist, gritting his teeth. “Nyla, no matter what, I won’t divorce you!”
Nyla pulled her hand away, her expression mocking. “Clark, you will divorce me–unless you don’t care about losing the Sumner Group.”

With that, she turned and got into her car, driving away.
Midway through her drive, she received a call from Valarie, asking about the Sumner Group’s statement.
Earlier at the Sumner residence, Richard had mentioned that the Sumner Group would issue a statement claiming the photos were just a matter of misleading angles, downplaying the situation.
They planned to wait until the scandal lost traction and then have Nyla and Clark attend a few events together to show that their marriage was still intact.
“It’s exactly what you saw. The Sumners are sweeping it under the rug,” Nyla said.

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....
