Chapter 300
Nyla glanced at Cindy, who was clearly struggling to maintain. her composure while attempting to apologize. The scene struck Nyla as somewhat amusing.
“Mrs. Sumner, did you really expect to come here, apologize, and ask me to drop the lawsuit after publicly accusing me of assault?” she asked.
Cindy’s expression faltered for a moment as she clenched her fists to suppress her anger.
“Nyla, I admit I was wrong. I’m apologizing now. Can’t we just put this behind us?” Cindy asked.
“Sure,” Nyla said, nodding. “But you need to issue a public statement clarifying that I didn’t assault you and that it was you trying to tarnish my reputation. I’ll drop the lawsuit if your do that.”
Cindy froze. They had come to resolve this privately, not to make it public. Releasing a statement would only highlight her attempt to malign her former daughter–in–law.
“Nyla, can we find another way to resolve this? We can negotiate,” Cindy suggested.
“Embarrassed, are we?” Nyla’s smile remained, but her eyes. were cold. “You shouldn’t have tried to slander me and create problems for yourself if you find this embarrassing. If you don’t want to make a statement, fine. Once I get the court ruling, I’ll issue a statement using that.”

At that point, Cindy would only look worse.
Cindy gritted her teeth, her frustration boiling over. “Nyla, you’re going too far. I won’t issue a statement. Do you think just because you’re with Damon you can do whatever you want? Don’t push your luck!”
Nyla didn’t flinch at Cindy’s outburst. “If you’re unwilling, don’t waste my time in the future.”
With that, Nyla walked past Cindy, leaving with Damon.
Clark quickly caught up. “Nyla, if that statement goes public, it will embarrass the Sumners and even Uncle Damon. If you’re willing to settle privately, we can discuss compensation.”
Nyla chuckled. “How much are you offering?”

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....
